Sly 4: Friendship of Thieves
Disclaimer: Sucker Punch owns the Sly Cooper series and its characters. I only own the characters I created.
The ship carrying a handful of thieves and bandits sailed out of the mountains gaze. Voices are heard inside the captain's cabin where the Sinister Killers troublesomely try to find a way to cure Dr. M. René, sitting on a chair next to the kitchen table, holding a pair of garments and medicines is trying to decide which is fit for the dazed baboon.
"It would take an age to get him out of this coma!" said Atilio.
"Silence At. He's in a temporary unconscious state. All I need are gryphon eyes, tiger fangs, and crocodile saliva to put into my families special soup. Well, of course steroid abusers like you can't understand that", said René
"Hm, at least I'm respected in every corner of Spain. I heard your not so intimidating", grunted Atilio.
René ignored this statement and started mixing his medicine in a small, old, brown pot. He and Atilio always seem to have ignorant arguments about the world of brawns and brains. Though, they do work very well together on missions. Sometimes, René would combine his analytical power with Atilio's strength to destroy enemies.
"Seems that there's now way to recover him eh, René?" asked Devyn.
"Don't be so foolish. This potion is guaranteed to bring back a person from unconsciousness. Aside from that, did you know James B. Mentos was once a member of the original Cooper Gang?" asked René.
"Well I think I heard that before. When I was in the Air Force, I heard some men talk about a three-man squad of thieves. Heard they were really good…even stole a handful of gold bars in a museum in England. Controversy said that Sly Cooper's father kicked James out of the team," said Devyn.
"Intriguing," mumbled Sigmund, who talked for the first time ever since the explosion.
"Sweet, then that means if we interrogate Mr. Monkey here then we can find the whereabouts of Sly Cooper," Lee gleefully said, who also talked for the first time ever since the explosion.
"Eh, Cooper is not even in our list of problems. If he comes in the way during our operation, he-", but Devyn was interrupted by Sigmund.
"But, Master Lee, don't you think these events will be on the news by tomorrow and even if Sly Cooper is dead, his teammates will sure avenge him!"
"Don't worry Sig, remember Heist number 24? We have the Cooper Gangs file, listing special abilities, their background and such. We have total advantage over Interpol and the Cooper Gang! Besides, our bases of operations are specially designed to withstand any of King's bombs, Murray the Hippos' muscles and any other skill attributing the Cooper Gang," explained Lee.
"The potion is ready," said René.
He took a pair of mittens from the compartment and put them on. The four awaiting him sneered in disgust at the smell of the potion and covered their noses. They do have the right to do so. The potion contains a cloud of eyes, fangs, and unmistakably, green saliva, all in a mixture of horrid dark green soup.
"Oh stop being babies, you need to get used to the smell," René arrogantly said.
René poured the potion all over Dr M's body. The medicine caused his body wounds to disappear. Large chunks of meat taken out of his body were growing back and his left eye seemed to climb back to its socket. The Sinister Killers watched in horror and delight as Dr. M began to stir. He was moving sideways across the sofa he was put in. Suddenly, his eyes opened and he began to breathe deeply.
"Oh, I uhhhhh, nice job René!" exclaimed Atilio.
"Thanks, I mean that potion is the basic in my families' medicine stews," said René.
Dr. M looked across the room, from René to Sigmund.
"Where, where, where am I?" asked Dr M.
"Do you remember anything old man?" asked Sigmund.
"Professional talk is what you converse with him, Sig," said Lee.
"I…yeah I remember…..I'm called Dr. M, right? James B. Mentos born on December 25, 1951 and I think I was in a team, more likely a group of thieves," said Dr. M, his eyes twitching.
Though the explosion crushed him to an ant, Dr. M seem to remember his past and present. It was only a matter of time before he remembers his lifelong goal.
"Whoa, whoa slow down, you need to take a rest! Seems he's in a good state of mind after the explosion with Cooper-"
"Cooper…" wondered Dr. M.
"Yes, it was confirmed that Sly Cooper, with the exception of his gang, died a few years ago," explained Lee.
"A few years? How many?" asked Dr. M.
"Three years up the most," answered Lee.
"Three years…" muttered Dr. M in a hoarse voice.
"Is there something you wish from us?" asked René.
Dr. M smirked to himself as he looked at his hands. He turned off the light switch and stood out of bed. The darkness swallowed him, except for the windless eyes of five other people. Cold blue eyes met back at them as Dr. M began to talk.
"Whatever the cost, take me to Cooper".
Hope you like this chapter! How many months has it been? Three months! I'm sorry for the long update. I got busy a lot. About this chapter, well there are a lot of unexplained questions. We finally find out that Lee is the Sinister Killers' leader and Dr. M is back! In my outline, I decided against having Dr. M back to life but I have plans with him on this story, good plans. You can look for at least one more chapter about the Sinister Killers until we go to Bentley!
