Hello again, Sly Cooper fans. I sadly don't own Sly Cooper - God I wish!

kyrogue23: Thanks, and I'll try to update more since I am now on Summer vacation from school.

SLY98524: Now I have and more is still to come! :D

THE NIGHTS RAGE: Cool, I'll let you know again if I need any help after Egypt

Nocturnal Shinobi: Thanks, and I did a bit of proofreading on chapter 2, I probably missed a few things but bare with me; I'm typing most of this thing on my iPhone: at least it has a full keyboard! Phew...

Blazehunter64: I can't wait to write Henriette in the story, we need more female Coopers! And you and many others probably know who Delphine is working for - at least one of them...

Ghostkid33: Yay, I love long and descriptive reviews! I told you I wasn't gonna make it easy! I've seen so many Sly 5 stories that do that! It's just like this: Sly's in Egypt, the gang finds out, they go back and get him, no other conflict, everything's okay. BORING! I like some of them, but that just seems too easy. :/ I looked up ancient torture methods and man...those Egyptians were cruel... Poor Sly.

will zona: Thanks dude, and I've got about four other ancestors choose from- this should be fun. :)

Musicman2013: Otto huh? We shall see. It does sound fun to try and make a chapter taking place in WWll.

slycoopergirl13: I continued, you got your wish! :D

dangelo nash: Thanks, I wonder that too about the fifth game.

Guest: That makes like the fifth vote for Henriette then!

nadya perez: And another for the pirate Cooper! Sly die? Not if the gang has anything to do with it!

Crystalisk: Thanks and I don't know how Tut's voice would sound but it sounds funny in Salim's voice now that I think about it- great, that's what I'm going to be hearing every time I write his dialogue. XD

HiddenTreasure13: Thanks, and here you go!

Chapter Three: Walk Like an Egyptian Part 2

Normal Point of View

Two days. That was precisely how long the gang had to break Sly out of the prison before his scheduled execution. Slytunkhamen was able to provide information he knew about the prison. He'd once helped an old friend of his escape from the premises, but with the recent modifications to the security, he needed the gang's help to safely get in and out. According to Bentley's scans, it appeared that Sly was currently being held in the East wing, which Slytunkhamen said was where prisoners were placed for interrogation - which normally involved torture - before serving their sentence.

While the two of them worked on a plan of entry to the prison; Bentley had Carmelita dig up plenty of information on the city's new dictator; Delphine. Turns out; she had a hefty file on Interpol's most wanted list.

Born and raised in Tirana, Albania; Delphine was the daughter of an old high-power, mafia boss. Destined to follow in his footsteps, she developed a taste for violence and power. He'd always treated her as a daddy's girl and spoiled her rotten. Then, when she was sixteen years old, Delphine's parents were gunned down by an opposing member of the mafia. Outraged; she hunted him down and took the killer out - getting her right eye damaged in the process. Afterwards, Delphine took her father's place at the head of the mafia and anyone who disagreed with her was found at the wrong end of her knife. With her love of power and brutality; taking over a weak, ancient civilization must have sounded like a dream to her. Now the gang needed to stop her, find out who she was working for, and what they wanted.

46 hours Until Sly's Execution

"Alright everybody, after careful consideration; Tut and I have a high-success rated plan for breaking Sly out the prison. But it's going to require all of our skills to pull the job off." Bentley began another one of his slideshows as the three of them gathered around him. "First off; the prison has plenty of guards on duty all ready and we can't risk any reinforcements coming from just across the river if they detect us while we're in the middle of the prison break. I have plenty of charges to destroy the bridge and their patrol boats in the harbor, but I'm going to need one of you to cover me to keep the guards off my back. Slytunkhamen; I'm going to need your skills to break into the security ward stationed outside the prison - when we're done there, that should cut off most of the power to the prison defenses. And finally; Carmelita and Slytunkhamen, you two will need to break into Delphine's palace and bug her room- she's sure to know which guards have access to Sly, as well as his cane, and we might also find out a little more about why she's here if we have an ear on the inside. Got that guys? Let's head out!"

'Finally,' Carmelita thought. Bentley turned off the projector as he suited up to head out and destroy the bridge. Murray tagged along behind him, to cover him, leaving the fox and raccoon alone in the safehouse to wait.

"So, Inspector, do you think those two can pull this off?" Slytunkhamen asked Carmelita. She smiled.

"I've hunted these guys down for years, investigated many of their schemes, and seen first hand what they are able to accomplish; so trust me, this is nothing that they can't handle. With Murray on watch, those guards won't be able to even touch Bentley." Carmelita said fully confident. As much damn grief as they had caused her in the past, she knew well enough to know that Murray and Bentley were masters at jobs like this.

With Bentley and Murray

Right on cue, the turtle and hippo arrived at the bridge near the harbor. Bentley readied the charges for use as he gave Murray the run down.

"Alright, Murray, we can't risk any reinforcements coming in when we make the break for Sly, so the bridge leading across to their station and their boats will have to go. While I set all the charges, you will keep any goons we attract off my back."

"You got it chum! "The Murray" will crack as many skulls as it takes to help set our buddy free. No problem."

"Good, because once we get started, they'll be on us, and after we destroy the bridge, you will steer the dingy to their patrol boats so I can demolish their rudders. By the time they could fix them or get any new ones, we'll already have broken Sly out of prison."

"Righteous! Let's get to it then, I'm tired of waiting." Bentley smiled and nodded as they ran over to the bridge. Bentley had only set two charges before the guards began to come out.

"BRING IT ON YOU CHUMPS!" Murray ran fist-first into a small group of guards, heading straight for Bentley. He spun around the few that surrounded him sending them into the side of the bridge. Murray picked up an unconscious guard and sent him flying into two of his pals. Bentley placed another two charges before heading to the other side of the bridge. One brave guard tried sneaking around the hippo, about to knock Bentley senseless.

"Hands off the turtle bub!" Murray growled, punching the guard in the jaw before sending him over the side of the bridge. Bentley set the final charge as Murray took out the final guards.

"Let's move it! We need to get working on those boats." The two of them ran off the bridge, back to the harbor to safety. Once they were safe, Bentley pushed a small red button on his chair as the charges went off destroying the bridge. When the smoke cleared, nothing remained of it.

"Destruction! Sweet." Murray nodded in the upmost approval.

"It is a wondrous work of demolition, but we're not done yet. Murray, take up the oars on that dingy, we've got some ships to disable!" The two thieves jumped into the small boat as Murray began to row across the river. Bentley pulled out another of his bombs and set it on the back rudder of a ship. Once Murray got them to a safer distance, Bentley detonated the bomb. The rudder, as well as nearly the full back end of the ship was blown away. Water flooded into the massive hole. Within a minute, the ship began to sink into the river.

"Excellent, just three more and they'll be sitting ducks!" Murray rowed the two of them over to the next boat and repeated the process. And again with the third ship. "Just one more."

Suddenly bullets zoomed past the two of them as a few guards on patrol shot at them. "Hold it right there, boys!" Bentley wasted no time in loading a few darts into his cross bow. He managed to take down two guards before the last one caught on. He ducked for cover as the third dart just missed him. Murray rowed quicker as they came up to the final boat. Bentley placed the final bomb.

"GO MURRAY!" The hippo followed his friend's order and hightailed it back towards shore. The final guard noticed and ran to the last boat hoping to get the bomb off. Just as he was about to it, Bentley detonated it. The guard was sent back several feet as the final ship sunk into the river. "That did it pal, we won't be getting any reinforcements interrupting us on the break out."

"Awesome!"

Back at the Safe House

Bentley and Murray rushed into the safe house as Murray placed a small boat in the corner.

"So, how'd it go?" Carmelita stood up as the two sat down.

"According to plan exactly! Slytunkhamen, you'd better get ready to head out, I've got a binocucom ready for you to use, an earpiece, and a little device that you'll need to set up on their security mainframe. That way I can hack into their computers and override the system." The Egyptian raccoon paused, quirking his eyebrow in confusion.

"Wait, what?" He asked, scratching his head.

"I'll explain when you get there." Bentley quickly said.

"Alright then." He said. He took the three items from the turtle, sticking the earpiece in as Bentley instructed before grabbing his canes.

"Just contact me when you're outside the security ward and I'll direct you from there." Tut nodded and headed out the door, into the field. He cut across the rooftops with ease, making it to outside the prison in no time flat. He climbed to the rooftop across from the security ward and took the binocucom out of his satchel, eyeing the device; a little confused.

'Damn future technology...'

"Put the binocucom up to your eyes." Tut was slightly startled when Bentley's voice blared in through his earpiece. He held his left ear in mild irritation. Doing as requested; he put the binocucom up to his eyes. The device turned on as Bentley's image came into view.

"Alright Tut, there should be a hatch somewhere on the roof for you to sneak in through."

"Thank you, for that little tidbit Bentley."

"There doesn't seem to be too many guards on duty in there, so this shouldn't be to much of a problem, right?"

"Not with my invisibility technique I've been perfecting; those guards won't see a thing."

"Perfect, once you get to their main security computer, place the device I've given you on its mainframe and I'll hack the system."

"Uhhh, Whatever you say."

He said quickly putting away the binocucom. Tut made his way over to the next rooftop without being noticed by the guards below. He found the small hatch on the far end of the roof, making his way inside.

Tut closed the hatch shut and lowered himself down. A few guards patrolled below him as he peeked over the railing. Bright search lights were set up around the room.

"Make sure you avoid those lights in there Tut, if they see you, they'll fry you." Bentley's worried voice blared in again through the earpiece.

"Well, they're everywhere, what does your brilliant mind suggest?"

"Hmmm, you said you've been perfecting an invisibility technique right? If you use it while under the lights, they shouldn't be able to detect you."

"Sounds like a piece of cake."

"You sound as confident as Sly."

"Well, he's my descendent, he had to inherit something from me." Tut grinned, making his way across the room with ease. As he came to the first search light, Tut tried out his technique and snuck by. The light didn't detect him. He continued crossing above the guards and made his way to the door to the next room. Tut's eyes widened as he saw what he could only guess was the security computer. A big nearly flat square with a bright screen stood on the opposite side of the room as a large crocodile guard stood operating the odd machine. Sneaking up behind him, Tut flung the guard in the air before slamming him down hard, knocking him out cold.

Tut remembered Bentley's instructions and dug the strange little device from his satchel. Placing it on the computer, the device came to life and attached itself.

"A little hacking and the system will be mine to control!" Bentley said as he began to hack into the systems. "Tut, you can come on back and get prepped up to head to Delphine's place with Carmelita, I can handle this from here." Tut headed for the window slightly amazed. That was it? Bentley was already taking down the prison security without even leaving the safe house?

"I don't think I'll ever get this future technology..."

40 hours Until Sly's Execution

With Slytunkhamen and Carmelita

The fox and raccoon headed for the large palace together, a small bugged statue was stored away in Tut's satchel. It was nearly sunset when they arrived just outside.

"Bentley, we're in position." Slytunkhamen said, clutching his earpiece.

"Alright, you two ready?"

"Yes, but why am I here? Can't Slytunkhamen sneak in just as easily without me?" Carmelita said, preparing her shock pistol.

"Delphine's palace has got the most security inside and out - sans the prison - Tut is going to need someone to watch his back.

"So basically, my job is to play bodyguard?" The vixen asked, slightly annoyed at the prospect.

"That's a rough translation, good luck." Bentley said before cutting off the connection between him and her.

"Are you ready Slytunkhamen?"

"Only if you are Miss Fox." The two of them snuck around to the back gate minding the search lights. They each took out one of the two guards on watch and tossed their unconcious bodies aside. "There's a ledge that can get us onto the second floor, can you give me a boost?" Tut whispered as they made it to the palace wall. Carmelita held her hands together for him to step into and pushed him up to the ledge. He lowered one of his canes for her to grab onto and pulled her up after him.

Between them, the two of them got past most of the security with ease. Carmelita blasted a few guards with her shock pistol. They continued on until they made it to Delphine's room.

"You're in luck, Delphine isn't in there at the moment. Just place the bug and get out of there before she comes back." Bentley told the two of them. They quickly made their way in. Delphine's room was huge with a door leading out to a balcony. A few fans were positioned around the room for cooling off in the hot Egyptian climate. Tut placed the statue on a large table covered in trinkets. Delphine would never notice it.

"If that's all, let's get out of here befo-" Carmelita started before pausing. Tut was about to ask what was wrong when he heard it; footsteps coming towards them. Carmelita dragged Tut out to the balcony where it wasn't too far a drop to the ground if they needed to jump, they hid as the bedroom door flew open. In stepped a white arctic wolf with short wavy red hair, dressed in a blue tank top, cargo pants, and combat boots. A knife stuck out of a little holder in one of her boots. Her left eye was a deep blue color, but the right one that had gotten damaged was a plain white with a scar stretching over it. A jackal guard followed behind her.

"So, what's the info for today Nahuel?" Nahuel looked noticeably worried.

"Well, Delphine...ahh..."

"Let me guess, the stupid raccoon still isn't talking?" Carmelita's ears perked up at the mention of her ringtail.

"Well no, he isn't. He keep saying he doesn't know where the book is and that he isn't Slytunkhamen." Delphine turned to face Nahuel, quirking her eyebrow. "E-even though the description of him matches almost to a T."

"Is the torture not working?"

"We're trying ma'am, but he's a stubborn one. I mean the whip's gone through to pretty much the bone." Carmelita and Tut exchanged glances. Carmelita wanted to run in and fry the two with her pistol... The very though of anyone hurting her Ringtail was enough to nearly make her sick. 'Oh Sly...'

"Eh, what's it matter anyways? He's getting the ax in a little under two days anyhow. The bosses gave me the okay to do as I please with him. "

'Bosses?' Carmelita thought as Delphine spoke up again.

"Anything else going on that I need to worry about?" Delphine asked pulling the knife from her boot out - admiring it. Nahuel gulped.

"Uhhh..."

"Uhhh, uh uh, what?! Spit it out you idiot!"

"Delphine, the bridge to the security station has been destroyed, and so have the boats..."

"WHAT?!" Delphine growled. She gripped the knife tight her palm as Nahuel slowly backed up.

"We don't know how it happened, someone came through and just demolished everything." Delphine looked incredibly angry.

"When I find out who's messing with my operation, they are going to wish they were never born!" She screeched throwing her knife towards Nahuel in anger. He let out a high-pitched whimper in pain before Carmelita and Tut watched him hit the ground. "Damn it! Ahmet!" Another jackal guard came running in.

"Yes ma'am?"

"You're promoted, now get to working on finding the rats who are interfering with my operation!"

"Yes ma'am." He gulped.

"Oh and get rid of Nahuel, will you? He's starting to make a mess." Tut and Carmelita took that as their cue to leave and dropped down onto a guard, knocking him senseless. They made a break for the back gate and ran all the way back to the safe house. They all spent a while listening in on Delphine. Bentley easily got the information he needed, after a little planning, they could make the break for Sly tomorrow.

'Hold on, Ringtail...'

36 Hours Until Sly's Execution

East Wing of the Prison

Sly's Point of View

The guard slashed me down my back for the who-knows-what time. I'd lost count after a while. The whip had definitely left it's marks, my body was almost numb with pain. I was going to die here. In less than two days, I was going to be dead. The pain of the whippings were nothing compared to what I felt as I thought of my old life. Bentley, Murray, Carmelita... I was never going to see them again.

Why did I have to help Le Paradox up? Why did I stay on that godforsaken blimp when everybody was telling me to get off? I wanted to take it back. I wanted to see my friends again, heck I even wanted to see Dimitri, even talking to him would give me some comfort right now. I wanted to be back with Carmelita, tell her how sorry I was and get the chance to explain. I hoped that one of them had seen my message for them; I don't know if they could, but that was my last shred of hope to hang onto. I wanted them here. I wanted so many things and I could never have them.

Aww poor Sly :( he just wants to back with his friends and lady. Little does he know they're closer than he thinks. Review please!
