Hi, Hyena King here! This is the beginning of the actual operation, so no more waiting. So, without further ado, here's chapter 30!
The plan was simple. While Lightning continued to distract Jean Bison in his disguise, the gang would sneak onto the trains that were transporting the spice and attempt to get the Clockwerk lungs out. What they couldn't foresee was the several problems that would arise.
First thing, the crew, which consisted of Sly, Murray, Thunder, AJ, Karen and Maria, flew over on Fiona over to on of the iron horses, where they would sneak on the train and take the lungs from inside. That's were things went a little downhill.
First, Sly, along with Thunder, blew off the locks on each train. That done, They were about to proceed to steal the lung when they learned Murray had been kidnapped! By none other then Carmelita Fox.
"I,m surprised that she followed me this far north." Sly admitted. "I didn't know she liked me that much."
"Very funny," Thunder said dryly. "But we have a situation here, in case you missed it."
"Yeah, yeah, I know." The raccoon thief thought to himself for a moment. "We'll save Murray, everybody else, stay her."
As Sly and Thunder went off, AJ took charge of the goddesses. Or tried to. But it was, in the end, an impossible task. Maria was as vicious as a junkyard dog, Karen as vicious as a saber tooth cat, and they both had the attention spans of four-year olds. They soon wandered off, leaving poor AJ to try to get them back on track.
Meanwhile, Thunder and Sly worked their magic on Carmelita. They took turns trying to get three keys off of her. The strategy to get them was this: Thunder would first distract her by showing his presence to her and having the inspector chase him. Then Sly would quickly rush up behind her and snag a key before she could notice. Then Thunder would fly up and disappear before she could grab him.
This went on for a few minutes with Sly and thunder taking turns on who's the runner and who's the grabber. Soon, they had all three keys and were busy freeing Murry when AJ came up to them panting.
"We told you we could handle it."
"Well, yeah, just thought to let you know, Maria and Karen decided to do the robbery without you guys."
Thunder, Murray, and Sly stared for a moment, then said collectively. "What!?"
As if on cue, an explosion rocked the entire area. Karen and Maria appeared right in front of them the next minute.
"Got the lung!" Karen said, holding up said object.
Thunder turned to Sly, who said. "After you guys, I kinda stopped caring about physics a long time ago."
There you have it! Sorry, it's a little slow, but it's good, right? R&R please!
