Hey, I'm finally back. Sorry I haven't been updating you guys in a while but I've just been swamped with school and such. Anywat here's the next chapter to my crossover story. Hopefully I'll end up with a little more time to devote to writing.
Onward to Adventure
Ancient Egypt, or at least someplace that had an uncanny resemblance to it. That was where the world renowned thief Sly Cooper had found himself. That hadn't been the strangest part of his day however. Sly had unwittingly found himself in the company of some rather odd fellows who had all been in the same boat as him.
There was the warthog with a purple mohawk who went by the name Anton Zeck. He seemed like an eccentric fellow who didn't want to let go of the eighties what with his glowing light suit and his affinity for hip hop dance moves. He was accompanied by a muscle bound snow leopard named Tai Lung. He seemed like a guy you wouldn't want to mess with if you valued your own self preservation. The fact that he knew kung-fu only reinforced that belief. Finally they were joined by some kind of hairless ape. He went by the name Sokka. Besides a few quirks and eccentricities Sly came to learn that he was actually a pretty normal guy who while a bit of a goofball was actually pretty smart especially for someone he came to realize was actually just a teenager. All in all, Sly hadn't expected to find himself paired with such a trio but he was more so focused on how glad he was that he was still alive.
The quartet were currently making their way about the Egyptian themed dessert when they had stumbled upon a massive structure. "Well that's an incredibly ominous looking building. Maybe we should check it out," came Sokka's voice. "Uh I don't know about that place. It doesn't look like a place that could handle such cool cats like ourselves," responded Anton who sounded like he was trying to hard to be cool as usual. "Ookay… well even if this place couldn't handle us I still think it's worth checking out. It might even give us some answers," Sokka replied. "It does sound like a good idea I'm up for it," Sly said giving his two cents. "If it can give us some information as to our current predicament then I am all for it," Tai Lung interjected. "Well looks like it's three against one Zeck," said Sly which Anton responded to with a face of disappointment.
With that the four made their way to the structure. As the got closer to the building they began to look around it for an entrance until Sokka was able to direct them to the giant double door entrance. For a while they just stood there unsure of whether they should take the plunge and go into the structure. "So should we knock," asked Sokka clearly unnerved at what could lie ahead. "I vote we slide on out of here. This place looks like a spine-tingling thriller to me," added Zeck clearly unnerved. "Maybe we could get some info from the locals," added Sly only for his answer to come in the form of Tai Lung kicking the doors open. "Or we could just kick the door open, that's good to," said Sokka before Tai Lung gestured inside saying, "now let's take a look and stop wasting time." Without much as a comment they all ended up making their way into the building.
The further they went into the building the more clear it became as to what it was they were exploring. The signs of rotting skeletons, odd writings and myriad of weathering booby traps made it all to clear they had just entered an ancient dungeon. Luckily none of the booby traps appeared active. They had come across a few living skeletons, which was still an odd thing to see for most of them, but they were easily dispatched.
For a while it only seemed like they had been exploring the dungeon without much to show off it, much to Anton's annoyance. "Alright dudes the secret has been leaked. There is nothing cool about this cave," he lamented grabbing everyone's attention. "What are you talking about, we haven't even explored the whole cave yet," Sokka responded clearly not as bored as Anton. "Far as I'm concerned we have. Look around amigos there isn't anything remotely different about the fourth floor of this place as there was the second or third. We've been gypped." "I'm sorry to say Sokka but he might be right. We've been exploring this place for hours and we haven't seen anything remotely new in hours," added Sly. "But think of the history all the stuff we could learn about this place think of what we can get from all the cool knowledge we can gain from this place," he said in a rather hammy way. "Sorry Sokka I just don't see anyway that spending more time here could help us in any way." "What about checking out that door down that lit hallway," interjected Tai Lung as he pointed out the spooky looking door and the end of the ominously lit hallway the other three had seemingly failed to notice. "Wow… I can't believe I totally missed that," Sokka said clearly shocked. "Now that is an unexpected turn of events," added Zeck.
The group made their way over to the door when Zeck said, "Hold on bros, don't you think this could end up going south if we move on." "I didn't take you for a coward when we first met Mr. Zeck. I'm beginning to think a lot less of you," responded Tai Lung. Zeck clearly angered by this accusation retorted by saying, "me a square, please cat, ain't nobody as smooth as me," he added walking up to the door. He pushed past everybody and made a scene out of being the one to open the door. What was on the other side however would be surprising to all of them. They were surprised to find a anthropomorphic cheetah woman with long red hair chained to the wall by her appendages in nothing but her birthday suit. Luckily she still retained some modesty thanks to her unmentionables being most likely covered by fur. The four only stood in utter shock before Sokka was able to utter, "didn't see that coming."
As the night sky fell down upon the junkyard deserts, a lone figure stood gazing out unto the overcrowded beaches ahead. The man was covered from head to toe in green armor and was currently holding what looked to be some type of assault rifle. He stood stoically gazing out into the distance before his communication device lit up with a female voice he knew all too well. "Still can't make heads or tails on what's really going on here chief?" the artificial voice questioned. "Not sure still haven't been able to make a good call on whether we can trust our current company," said the man responding to his artificial companion. "I think maybe we should wait this out and see how things go. I'm sure whatever luck throws our way won't prove to much of a problem for the legendary Master Chief."
The man remained stoic not giving much of a response to his A.I. companions snarky remark. This wasn't out of the ordinary however for the aptly named Master Chief however. Emotions weren't something typically acceptable in his line of work. He didn't even find the remark from his A.I. to be odd even seeing as he had grown accustomed to his companions personality for lack of a better term despite the fact that she was only a computer program. Still she did seem to still have some form a sapience. The two made quite the pair one could say and they even shared much the same background as being veterans of the battlefield. They however weren't the only ones.
For moments the men stood looking onto the horizon before he turned to greet the incoming sound of a red and blue truck driving his way. Though the most peculiar thing happened as the truck currently had no driver. It simply stopped a couple of feet before him before it inadvertently changed it shape to resemble that of a mechanical giant similar to that of Bumblebee only larger in stature. This mechanical man went by the name of Optimus Prime and held the honor of being the first acquaintance the Chief had met in this junkyard.
The mechanical giant only looked at the Chief for a few moments before he spoke in a deep baritone voice. "I have detected no activity in the immediate area barring the east. I would suggest that we continue eastward in the hopes that we may find answers we seek." The man only nodded in confirmation. It didn't seem to conflict with any of his current objectives given that from what he could tell the machine was stuck within the same situation as him. With that the cybertronian lifeform simply reverted its shape back into that of the truck and opened its door given the soldier entry. After getting into the car like any other, the trio sped off in the eastern direction unaware of the hidden figure that lies watching them from the shadows.
There you guy the very next chapter. I hope you enjoyed and I try to be more on top of getting these out in a reasonable manner. Take care.
