Chapter 2

A/N: What's up folks? I hope you're tuning in for more, because things are starting to heat up! Bentley! Could you read away the disclaimer!?

Bentley: Through obvious research, ShadowSlayer220 does not own Soul Eater or Sly Cooper.

Bentley and Murray were setting up shop at their base of operations when Sly had slipped in from the window; he had still been dressed in his overcoat and hat. "Ah Sly, glad you could make it back." The turtle greeted, "Man, I thought those two kids were surely gonna blow our cover." Murray replied as he set down heavy box. "Not to worry guys, I managed to give them the old slip. I gotta' hand it to you though. That girl was pretty persistent, almost had me cornered." The raccoon chuckled as he hung up his disguise in the closet.

"Indeed I wouldn't take them lightly. Also, while you were out I found some interesting information about this city and what goes on." Bentley replied as he typed on his keyboard, "What'd you find out buddy?" Sly asked as he stood next to his friend, Images of DWMA, some teachers such as Stein, Sid, and Spirit, and Lord Death himself. "This is a school called the DWMA, and believe me it's no ordinary school. As it turns out it's a school that's trains teens called "meisters" with their "weapon partners" to exterminate these evil beings called Kishin eggs." The turtle replied adjusting his glasses.

Sly stared at the monitor dumbfounded, "Kishin eggs? What in the world are Kishin eggs?" Murray asked as he joined the conversation. "That's a good question Murray, based on the data I've received they're beings on the verge of becoming a full grown Kishin." Bentley shivered before continuing, "It's said that they eat the souls of the living, growing more powerful with each one." Sly scratched the back of his head with his cane, "Man Bentley, that's some dark stuff." He replied. "Yeah, and that's not even the creepiest part…" The turtle swallowed hard, "It says the school is run by none other than the Grim Reaper himself."

Sly and Murray couldn't believe what they were hearing; they've encountered some freaky stuff before but nothing like this. "Bentley, are you sure this is true?" The master thief asked. "It's what the file reads I'm afraid." He replied. Sly approached one of the windows, peering out at the DWMA that rested at the highest point of the city. "Sounds like I need to do some reconnaissance work." He turned to his friends. "It would be a good idea yes, but be careful Sly. It said that everyone at that school can detect your soul wavelength, or other words spirit energy." Bentley warned. "That just makes it more fun my friend." The raccoon smiled as he slipped back out the window.

Sly leaped across rooftops, heading straight for the school. He was determined to find out where the Clockwerk parts had gone; Carmelita is sure to show up sometime soon so he didn't have much time. What with both the city and her chasing him at the same time, it would be a tricky situation even for the master thief himself. Not to mention the duo that chased him down earlier, it's all one big recipe for disaster.

Climbing over a massive wall, he found himself on the very foundation of DWMA. Gazing up at the massive structure he scratched his head, "This is a school? A little dark don't you think?" He asked himself. Seeing his way up the building he immediately began to work, climbing up pipes, running along wires, and jumping on the cones sticking out of the skulls. All way up until he found a small window, jumping onto the ledge he peered inside. As it turns out the room was Lord Deaths sanctuary and in it was Professor Stein, Sid, and Shinigami himself.

Sly pulled out his binocucom and zoomed in to get a closer look, "Bentley are you getting this?" He whispered over the com. "Yes Sly I am, and that must be Lord Death." The turtle replied, seeing the tall cloaked figure sporting a cartoony skull mask and massive gloved hands. "And look, there are some of the teachers from the file." The raccoon added. "Interesting indeed, try listening to what they are saying." Bentley suggested. The master thief shuffled closer to the window, in hopes of hearing the conversation they were having.

"Sir, I think it is best that we go after Brew as soon as possible." The zombie teacher suggested, "However obtaining the artifact is going to prove challenging." Stein replied in his usual monotone. Death rubbed his chin with one of his massive gloved hands, "Yes indeed, Lost Isle is a very dangerous and phenomenal. How do you suppose we take action?" He turned to his colleagues. "Knowing that Arachnophobia is probably planning to do the same, I advise we divide into two teams." Sid replied, "Sid will take a small squad around the mountain side, hopefully to distract most of the enemy's forces. Giving the chance for me and my group of meisters to head straight to the top and secure Brew, once the task is complete we will send a signal to retreat." Stein finished for him.

"And who were you planning to take with you Professor?" The Death God asked. The mad scientist lit a cigarette, taking a drag before answering. "I've already planned ahead for this, and finally decided that I would bring two teams, also bringing Marie along with me since Spirit is not available." He turned the screw in his head a few times until a distinctive click was audible. "I'm assuming you have decided to bring Maka's team along?" Death smiled behind his mask. "You are correct; I'm bringing Kilik and his group as well, I find their teamwork as great as Maka's." Stein answered turning the screw once more, "Also, Maka has informed me that we have a few visitors that came to town." He added.

"Why yes, as a matter a fact one of them is watching over us as we speak." The shinigami smiled as he locked eyes with Sly, who froze in what seemed like terror at first, like a deer in headlights. "Heya!" Shinigami smiled as he waved a massive hand as the other two teachers gaze up at the raccoon. "Get out of there Sly!" Bentley exclaimed. He didn't waste any time as he black flipped off the window ceil, paragliding to the ground smoothly.

The master thief grinned as he turned to leave, "Stop!" A familiar voice called at him. Sly spun around to see Maka with Scythe in hand standing before him. Her deadpan expression changed to dumbfounded shock as she laid eyes upon the humanoid animal, "Is that…a raccoon?" Soul asked his partner. Death The Kidd and BlackStar jumped in to surround the master thief, "Not another step." The young Shinigami warned, "HAHAHA! YOU NEVER ESCAPE THE MIGHT OF BLACKSTAR! THE MASTER ASSASSIN!" The spikey haired meister boasted loudly. As Sly turned to the other meisters, both looked in shock at the humanoid raccoon, "What? Is that a raccoon? Or am I just finally going crazy?" Liz sweat-dropped, "Giraffeee!" Patty giggled, Liz sweat-dropped at her younger sister's outburst.

"I gotta' admit, you are a persistent bunch." Sly chuckled, speaking to Maka for the first time. "Be careful Sly…" Bentley muttered in worry, "No sweat pal, this'll be fun." The raccoon assured his reptile friend. "Who are you? And what do you want from here?" Maka gripped her weapon, "Oh, I figured I drop on by. Paris is busy this time of year." Sly smirked; she gritted her teeth, she had to put up with your usual smartasses daily, and this…raccoon is already in hot water. BlackStar noticed the cane Sly had hoisted on his shoulder, "I've seen that cane somewhere before." He muttered to Tsubaki, who then glanced at the weapon. Her eyes then went wide, "It can't be!" She exclaimed in her mind.

"Im going to ask you once to put down the cane, my father will decide what to do with you once we take you to him." Kidd commanded, "Sorry sport, I don't have time to play today." Sly insulted the young Shinigami, who had formed a tick mark on his forehead. BlackStar gave a battle cry as he jumped up and dove for the master thief, "BlackStar! Wait!" Maka exclaimed. As the assassin reached out, Sly juked back and the meister skidded across the ground on his face. "Clumsy fool," Kidd sweat-dropped, Sly however noticed the star tattoo on BlackStar's shoulder. "Hmmm, that's interesting." He muttered to himself. Kidd and Maka had no choice but to attack, but as they went to move. Sly twirled his cane a few times, and Maka knew what was coming.

"No!" She exclaimed as the bottom of the weapon tapped the concrete, and just like before a wall of smoke bombarded the trio of meisters. "Not again." She choked out as the group coughed and sputtered. As the smokescreen cleared away, the only thing that was left behind was the infamous calling card. "Damn it…" Maka cursed under her breath. Kidd allowed his weapon partners to change back into their normal forms, kneeling down he picked up the card. "That's strange, he leaves behind a card?" He spoke inspecting it. "Yeah, he left one behind when I lost him earlier," The scythe meister replied.

BlackStars eyes went wide; snatching it out of the shinigami's hand he held it up to the moonlight. "It can't be…" He muttered. "Im afraid it's true BlackStar." Tsubaki replied as she came out of her weapon form, Kidd and Maka switched glances between the two. "What is it guys?" Maka had finally asked; BlackStar could only give a smirk. "So you are still alive." He began tearing the card into pieces, throwing them out into the wind. He gave a big grin as he looked up at the smirking moon, "Sly Cooper!"
