Chapter 4: long known foe
Sorry for not writing in a while, inspirations not coming to me like it used too. So please enjoy, like and review!
The three walked into the living room along side with their grandpa. They sat on the couch with their grandpa and started to talk to each other. "How are you alive?! I thought you died a year ago, we saw you in your casket at your funeral!" Said Ty with confusion. "I faked my death in order to protect you boys." Said Thaddeus. "Who are you protecting us from?" Asked X. "If you read the book you should know who I'm talking about." Said their grandpa. "You mean..." Said Ty, then they two looked at each other, gulped. "Clockwerk." The two said then fear was struck in their hearts. "Who's Clockwerk?" Asked Joseph in confusion. "He's an enemy of the family name for generations." Said their grandpa.
"Theirs also another enemy, Le Paradox." Said their grandpa clutching his fist. "Don't the Le Paradoxes have boys our age?" Asked Xavier. His grandpa nodded "Yes that's right, well anyway why are you here?" He asked. "Cops came to our home trying to arrest our father and us so we took the Cooper passages to escape." Said Ty. "I see, where's your father?" Thaddeus asked. Ty and X looked at each other with sadness then Ty spoke. "Joe why don't you go and help Madeline in the kitchen?" He asked Joe nodded and went to the kitchen. "We didn't tell Joe this but." Then a minute of silence then X spoke "He's dead." He said.
Thaddeus dropped his cane and now is in shock. "How, w-when?" He asked. "Two days ago." Ty said with a sad look "We agreed that we wouldn't tell Joseph about it until he was eighteen." Said X. Thaddeus grabbed a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped his tears away. "We did this in order for him to be strong to learn the thieving ways of our family." Said Ty. Thaddeus thought after a minute and spoke "I guess your right." He said.
"I'm back." Said Joe with the tray of hot cocoa. Thaddeus smiled and gave the cocoa to the boys. They all drank their cocoa, then their grandpa put his cocoa down cleared his throat and spoke. "So Joseph I take it that your eight now?" He asked, Joe nodded with a smile.
"But I never practiced any of the techniques in the book though, I just been reading the story's." Said Joe. "I see." Said Thaddeus "Well that means you need to practice the techniques and I know just the place to do so." Said Thaddeus with a smirk. "What do you mean?" Asked Xavier "Follow me." He said. He got up then the boys followed him to a old reinforced door. He grabbed a big golden key out of his pocket and put it in the doors lock.
Then weird mechanisms on the door started to move, then the door. This made the three very curious of what's on the other side. Then the lights in the long stairway down lit up, it was dim but it wasn't too dark. "Come on now." Said Thaddeus to the boys. They walked down the stairs and through a long, dim hallway. Joe was scared of the setting in the hallway "how much farther?" Asked Joe. After a minute of walking they stopped at a big and dark room"We're here." Said Thaddeus. He flipped a circuit breaker to turn on lights to reveal a big training room with everything, I mean everything!
The boys were in awe at the sight of weapons and things to practice the cooper techniques. "This is what I meant my boy." Said Thaddeus. "Let's start training shall we?" He asked with a grin on his face. They all nodded and ran for the equipment and began practicing. "This is going to be awesome!" Shouted the three raccoons.
Hope you guys enjoyed and really sorry for the short chapter though :p
