The Miraculous Thief Chapter 1
What can I say, recently watched LupinRanger vs Pataranger and after reading a couple of Sly Cooper cross overs and considering at the time this story was being written, the only crossovers of this type were all in Spanish I believe.
I OWN NOTHING!
:STORY START:
Back story
In the world Concepts, Ideas and the fundamental laws of Reality, can create a powerful force. This force is called the Miraculous. With the first two being the powers of Creation and Destruction, with these two Miraculi more was created in time. Powers being infinitely different or simular and in the several thousand millennia that the Miraculous has been created, Seven have power so great, dangerous or committed a crime so dastardly that they were sealed away separately from the others, because of crimes they committed or their very own power being so destructive to around them. One such Miraculous was the first to be sealed only to be found by a family that brought out its full potential.
Paris France-Fifteen years Prior
A lovely Spanish lady with deep navy blue hair wearing a nice dress was reading what appeared to be a series of old case police files, or more specifically Interpol documents. That caused her to laugh lightly to herself, so many memories of her past as an Interpol Inspector who had retired when after arresting more than any other inspector before or after her time. She was considered the greatest of her time, but retired when they tried to 'promote' her into becoming a desk jockey that was actually the assistant to a pig of a man who was actually a criminal supporter accepting bribes and freeing criminals, that she herself had arrested.
Now one Carmeleta Fox, had gone freelance and actually catching several of the criminals she had originally arrest. Except one that she was never able to catch, well until she finally found a way to catch him, though not in a cell. She had to sigh as she looked up to the fire place that she was sitting next to, inside the ancestral home of her husband she had been happily enjoying her full retirement but she was upset that her husband had yet to retire as well, mainly due to the never ending criminals that will always come up.
Carmelita sighs as she looks at the clock above her, her husband should have returned by now and she was starting to become concerned as she stood from her chair and walked to than mantel of the fire place and pulled a lever turning the fire place into a doorway with the fire retracting into the wall behind it and an elevator lifting into the room where she sees, a man in a pink muscle suit, another man in a green suit and one man covered in blood on his blue clothes, the first two men were doing their best to keep the third alive. Carmelita shouts, "No, Sly!" she rushed to the third man to do her part, "What happened!"
The man in the green suit says, "Someone attacked the safe house stole the box!"
Carmelita was shocked before another voice was heard, "Mama?" Carmelita looked behind her and saw a young three year old walking to the door.
Carmelita looked to the boy and says, "Arsene, wait outside please," Arsene was confused as he could not see the three men and went outside like he was asked as Carmelita looked to the blood on her hands.
Present Day-Deckard Mansion-Dawn-Paris
The dawn of a new day, and the start of the school year had happened a week prior along with the discovery of Ladybug and Chat Noir, as they were dubbed had become the talk of the city when they protected the city from Hawkmoth and his Akumatised victims, revealing the existence of superheros and super villains. But this is not their story this is a story of a boy who is about to discover the family business.
Inside a basic room that was considered bare compared to most male teenagers where the hero of this story was waking up to get dressed for the school day. This eighteen year old male is Arsene Deckard, Heir to the Deckard Family. A family that has been a major part of Paris' history. Arsene Deckard normally wears blue jeans, an amber shirt with black sneakers. The oddest feature of Arsene is that, his hair was dark grey with a bar of black on each side of his head, a condition that his family has had since before they were a well known family.
Deckard walked out his room and down a flight of stairs with a backpack strung behind his back. Where he walked into the kitchen where a bowl of apples and his Mother, Carmelita Deckard, with her back facing the bowl of apples. Arsene grabbed a single apple, with his left hand while he makes a show of grabbing three more apples with his right hand when Carmelita says, "One apple Arsene!"
Arsene chuckled before placing two of the three apples down and says, "Sorry Mom," he steps back and walks into a man with the same coloured hair as Arsene and wearing a dress shirt and black pants while confined to a motorised wheelchair. "Morning, Dad."
"Hello young Cooper," Arsene's dad joked when Carmelita cleared her throat causing him to chuckle and says, "Well my son, enjoy your day at school and remember stay calm around Chloe."
"I know Dad, but if she decides to open her mouth. I may have to tell her off," Arsene states as he heads out the main door where he walked to school.
Carmelita angrily says, "Stop calling him Cooper, Sly."
'Sly' chuckled before saying, "Don't forget my name has been Devon Deckard for years. Sly Cooper is just a story my dear," he wheels away and mutters, "and his birthright," while unknown to 'Devon Deckard,' Carmelita had heard him and was looking at Devon's back in sadness, he had lost all the hope that was in his eyes that night fifteen years ago not to mention his old friends having left to their own devices.
With Arsene-Rooftops on the way to his highschool.
Arsene was running along rooftops and along cables crossing the streets on his way to the high school on the other side of the city. Arsene managed to reach an alley a couple blocks away after spending a couple minutes eating his stolen apple while sitting on a pointed roof with one foot resting on the other. Arsene finished his apple and then used a drain pipe to climb down for the last couple blocks so that he could walk. As he pulled out the Apple that was not stolen and took a large bite and frowns before saying, "It just does not taste right without stealing it," he finished eating the Apple as he walked past a bakery and past the door where the front door of the Bakery suddenly opened and a Chinese/French eighteen year old girl rushed outside the Bakery and started running towards the same high school Arsene was walking to.
Arsene chuckled as the girl in pigtails ran past him, as he suddenly turned a series of alleys and reaching the high school before the girl actually was in sight of the school. Arsene walked up to the top floor for the students in their final year. Arsene takes a seat at the back of the class and with an empty seat next to him. Arsene took a seat before pulling out a journal filled with designs and plans for the future. Arsene actually ignored everyone as they filled into the room the last one being the girl from that morning. Arsene then looked up as a student was kicked out the classroom after Chloe apparently insulted him to the point of the other student interrupting class. Arsene then returned to ignoring everyone else, he had been fellow students with these people for three years and have yet to find anyone that he would consider friends that would have his back.
Arsene was suddenly brought out of his reverie as the Teacher speaks up, "Mister Deckard, I would hope that you are paying attention, everyone here is to partner up with another student to complete this graded assignment," Chloe the blonde at the front, also known as the Mayor's Daughter started telling Sabrina to get to work on it, only for the teacher to say, "Actually, I have put half of everyone's name in each of these two hats. I will pull one name out and you will be working with that student for the assignment." Arsene sighs, he hated group assignments as the teacher says, "Each pair is to create a children story, one will write the start, and the other will write the ending. But both half's of the story need to be consistant. Meaning you cannot drastically change the story." Arsene sighs as the teacher starts calling names until he heard his name and another, "Arsene Deckard and Kim," Arsene did not care about the last name as Kim moved to sit next to Arsene. The teacher told everyone to start talking about the subject while telling Chloe to get her partner, who had left when she insulted them. Chloe on the other hand, could be seen skipping class as she walked away from the school.
Kim cleared his throat and asks, "Let's write a story about a kid who becomes a soccer star." Arsene sighed and suddenly wrote the start of the story within twenty minutes writing a full three pages of the story about an up an coming soccer star that went from bullied kid to the best soccer player in his school, by then end he gave Kim what he did and made sure the teacher also received a copy as Kim never realised that Arsene had managed to copy his original document word for word. Arsene then left for the day and after a couple steps he sees an Akuma terrorising the Paris with their voice, causing whatever is said to happen when purple energy touched. Arsene sighed and proceeded to walk as far as he could away from the conflict before running across rooftops to get home.
Deckard Manor-That night
Arsene was sitting at a table eating dinner with his parents silently while in the background a radio was speaking the day's news. Eventually Devon speaks, "So Arsene, who was your day?"
Arsene finished the food in his mouth before saying, "Well Chloe got a kid kicked out of class and they became one of those super villains that have been popping up. So I took the long way home."
Devon chuckles before saying, "What about school?"
"I got stuck with another student writing a children story about a kid playing soccer," Arsene comments in boredom, "Had to write half the story each, got my half done and handed in, before the end of class." Arsene stopped eating and asks, "May I please be excused?"
Devon was about to ask 'why?' when his wife Carmelita says, "Sure honey," Arsene stands and leaves the room for his parents to talk amongst themselves. Once Carmelita was sure that Arsene had left the room she released a loud sigh and says, "Something is wrong? I understand why you are depressed, but know our son is," she could not even finish her sentence.
As she appears to feel herself age faster before Devon wheeled over to her and takes her hand in his and says, "He does not see the point in the world, nor does he feel it is right," she nods at that before Devon jokes as continues, "I felt the same way for after a time, during my memory 'loss' from when we were younger." Carmelita shakes her head as Devon continues, "It is in his blood, and with what has been happening. The fact that the Miraculous are in Paris," Carmelita glares at Devon. Devon then continues, "All we can do is prepare him for the possibility of," He could not say what he wanted to say, instead he says, "and we can either regret not being able to do something or blame this Hawkmoth for blabbing his plans to the world. All we can do is," only to be interrupted.
Carmelita glares at him while saying, "No, I almost lost you! I refuse to see our son in that state," Carmelita anger was warranted.
Devon shakes his head and says, "Which is why we will have to leave it to fate. After all, that is how the heir is chosen," Devon wheels himself out the room silently leaving Carmelita to her thoughts.
Arsene's room
Arsene was sitting in his room silently as he looked at a wall blankly, before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. Eventually Arsene simply asks himself, "Why do I feel that there is more to life then this?" Arsene breaths deeply before pressing on the wall above his bare desk causing it to flip and inside is a 'wooden' cane with a golden 'C' shaped handle. He lifted the cane off it's holder and along with a small tool case where he adjust the cane head before aiming the cane head to the side and fired at a small box that hooks on and was pulled over to Arsene.
Arsene chuckles at his work and proceed to reset the cane and then split it in two and spun them in his hands and the reassembled them before collapsing the cane so he could hold the cane by attaching it to his belt.
Arsene simply says, "Now all I need to do is a little field test," but he had one problem he can sneak out, but he has no idea where he could go to test it out. Instead Arsene decided to take a walk inside his family home to give him an idea on what to do next.
Arsene walked through the house and paused when he was walking near the attic when he hears some whispers, "Cooper," and it repeated again and again. He followed the whispers and started walking up to the attic where he walks among the boxes covered in sheets. He followed the whispers until he finds a false wall. How did he notice it was fake, the wind was being blown in and moving a section that he removed and crawled through.
Arsene looks around before noticing a large vault door only it appeared to be locked with a specific type of key needed to be unlocked. Arsene blinks as he pulled out his cane with a frown and used it on the lock and found it to be a perfect fit as the vault door opened and inside was, a strange wrist watch with a masked racoon face on the front that concealed the actual clock face. Arsene was amazed as she thought aloud, "Why is such an amazing safe holding such a gaudy watch?" he took the watch and figured he would try it on.
What he did not expect was the black and blue, Racoon like creature the size of a toy appearing and shouting, "Finally, do you know how boring it was in there. It is about time you got me out of there." Arsene did the sane thing and screamed in terror before falling back. The racoon creature sighs and says, "Of course, this happens every time."
"What are you?" Arsene questioned.
The Racoon sighs as he floats near the safe and says, "Hi, my name is Sly, that watch is the Racoon Miraculous of theft. I have been the partner of the Cooper line since they first stole me," Sly states as Arsene looks at him sceptically, before Sly continues, "Before you start, at the time I was technically sealed away in a lack luster box, they only used spells to stop me leaving it, not someone opening my box from the outside. Anyway, look what is your name?"
Arsene looked confused before saying, "Arsene Deckard?" his confusion was adamant.
Sly looked at him in confusion before asking, "You think your last name is Deckard?" Arsene raised an eyebrow and Sly says, "Well the Coopers' have been using the name Deckard to conceal their fortunes for the last three hundred years. That being said, the fact you opened the safe and are currently holding said proof," he gestured to the cane in Arsene's hand. Arsene looked at the cane in confusion as Sly states, "Every Cooper of every generation has welded a 'cane' just like it. So you ready to start?"
Arsene frowns before asking, "Start what?"
"Thieving?" Sly shouts with enthusiasm causing Arsene to chuckle. Sly then says, "Well to use my power, say 'Sly Heist,' and to transform back say, 'Sly Safehouse.' I tell you this because the power you would need to activate for the five minute time limit thing is technically dangerous to you as well. But basically, you say 'Snatch' while pointing your open palm to what you want to steal. Be it an item or even the powers of other Miraculous holders. Though you should save it for when you have no other choice. So feel free to take me out for a spin!"
Arsene takes a deep breath before say, "Sly, Heist!" while raising his left wrist where the watch turned gold and blue as Sly entered it. In response Arsene was covered in blue energy that took the form of a form fitting blue turtle, cape, neck and gloves, grey pants, red back pack and thigh pouch that before he drew his cane with it gains a blue sheen. Arsene's feet appeared to be covered in a blue sock that feel like proper shoes but like he was bare foot with mobility. Though the craziest part was the large Racoon Tail attached to his back that appeared to move itself.
Arsene looked himself over as a blue mask and blue paper boy hat. Arsene laughs lightly before spinning his cane quickly with one hand before crawling through the hole in the wall and to a window in the roof of the attic. Arsene jumped out the window and onto the rooftops on the other side of the street. Arsene enjoys himself as he starts parkoring through the city rooftops.
That moment-other side of Paris
Inside a helicopter a man wearing a purple suit was staring out at the city while what appeared to be a robot made out of clockwork parts made of copper. This man was wearing a strange glove on his right hand that was in the shape of horns that acted as a knuckle duster that he gently strokes in thought staring at the city below. The man's face was revealed showing red hair in the shape of horns and revealing that this man was with Scottish decent. The man breathed deeply before saying, "Horn smash!" with that the Miraculous Knuckle Duster glowed before slowly purple scales formed along the man's body along with a dragonic mask that concealed his face along with a pair of wings. Then man says, "I look forward to claiming more power," with that the helicopter door opened allowing the purple man to jump out the helicopter high in the air and extend a pair of wings that let him glade to the ground below near the Eiffel Tower.
With Arsene
Arsene jumped was laughing as this new friend allowed him to run faster and move with agility that not even he had before. They movements he made was crazy and was made to look easy. Add onto the mobility his cane gave him more options to travel through Paris. His movements led him near the Eiffel Tower where he took in the sights and was actually finding himself feeling like everything was right in the world. Though that was until he felt something suddenly change that made him look around before noticing that the Eiffel Tower was suddenly set on fire, attracting the attention of two city heroes along with the media and law enforcement.
Arsene was on a roof concealing himself as he edge over the railing where he sees a man wearing a purple dragon costume and mutters to himself, "Great, another Akuma, doesn't that Hawkmoth fellow know when to take a break?" the purple 'Akuma's' right hand with what appeared to be a dragon's head with orange horns where his knuckles were positioned. Flames were spewing out of the right hand and he was shouting, "Ladybug and Chat Noir! Show yourselves so that I may take your Miraculouses."
Arsene continued to watch as said heroes did arrive. Ladybug with blue hair, a form fitting red bodysuit with black spots weiding a Yoyo as a weapon that glowed with red energy. Chat Noir was also wearing a bodysuit, but with a belt extended to be like a tail, black ears on his head and holding a metal staff. Both these heroes had masks in the style of their uniforms.
Ladybug speaks, "Surrender Akuma!"
The 'Akuma' speaks, "I am the Purple Dragon! And your Miraculous will become mine!"
Chat Noir paused at that before commenting, "Doesn't he mean Hawkmoth's?"
His question was not answered as suddenly Purple Dragon sped forward and punched the ground between the two heroes with a speed they were not ready for creating a large crater and knocked the two away from each other. Purple Dragon laughs as the heroes struggled to get in close as the Purple Dragon was way too experienced and determined to get them.
Ladybug and Chat Noir managed to regroup a short distance away allowing Ladybug to confer with her partner asking, "I feel that we don't know something that we should?"
Chat Noir comments back, "Yeah, this guy is way to good and focused compared to the two Akuma's we have fought already, but I spotted the Akuma," Ladybug nods as Chat Noir states, "Back of his waist there is a black dagger, smash that and we should be good."
Ladybug nods before saying, "Yeah, but let's add some luck to our side," Ladybug takes her yoyo and throws it into the air and shouts, "Lucky Charm!" what came down surprised Ladybug and Chat Noir, and enraging Purple Dragon. Ladybug catches the strange red and spotted Cane with a strange 'C' shaped tip, she comments, "A hook?"
That question was heard by Purple Dragon who chuckled while in the distance, Arsene spotted the cane and was surprised. Purple Dragon simply says, "You have no idea about that cane, not that it will help you!" Purple Dragon charged forward and goes for a punch with the Dragon fist while Ladybug tried to defend with the cane only for it to split in two. Chat Noir was then knocked back quickly by a lazy wave.
Ladybug was knocked down to the ground by a punch that she was not expecting to her gut. She clutched her stomach in pain, she looks up to see Purple Dragon stepping towards her slowly. Ladybug speaks trying to distract Purple Dragon, "You won't get away with this, HAWKMOTH!"
"Hawkmoth? Don't worry once I add the two Miraculous two mine, I will be going after him too," Purple Dragon states surprising Ladybug as Purple Dragon raised the Dragon Fist where the horns appeared to have an ethereal glow.
Ladybug was starting to panic while above them Arsene was still thinking about the Lucky Charm before making a choice that he is going to hate himself.
Down below Purple Dragon drew his fist back to crush Ladybug only for Arsene's cane to come spinning at through the air and clubbing Purple Dragon in the face and knocking him back a step, which froze him on the spot as his eyes widened frozen in anger as he looked to the side where the cane was still spinning and getting caught by Arsene and used to give him a gentlemanly pose and says, "Normally I am against fighting, but when you target a lovely lady I just can't hold myself back."
Arsene smirks as Purple Dragon slowly turned towards Arsene, while Chat Noir got Ladybug out of danger. When Purple Dragon was looking at Arsene and before Ladybug or Chat Noir could comment Purple Dragon shouts, "COOPER!"
"Sly Cooper actually," Arsene names himself and with a casual wave of his hand and says, "Though I have to say that purple is a terrible colour on you!" Purple Dragon appeared more animalistic as his eyes started flashing between red and yellow before charging Sly Cooper like an animal causing Sly to chuckle and flip over Purple Dragon and hooked his cane around Purple Dragon's ankle and pulling causing Purple Dragon to roll away and into the water. Purple Dragon did not resurface. Sly Cooper chuckles and says, "Well, that was surprising, but I guess he cannot swim."
Ladybug stands in confusion and asks, "Thank you for the help, but who are you?"
Sly Cooper smirks before suddenly speeding to Ladybug and stealing a kiss, her first before avoiding Chat Noir who was chasing him with his staff. Sly simply says, "I am just a theif, and I have stolen a kiss, until we meet again heroine of Justice I look forward to the chase," with that Sly Cooper points his cane to the Eiffel Tower and says, "Though you should used that Miraculous Cure of yours to save a National Landmark," before the head of the cane goes flying to attached to the tower before being pulled away and swung around the flaming tower while shout, "Adieu!" as he flew through the air and into the city.
Ladybug was blushing at what had happened before shouting, "Damn it I was saving that!" she shakes her head quickly before grabbing the two halves of the red spotted cane and throws it into the air while shouting, "Miraculous Cure!" and to her surprise that was what happened.
Chat Noir was then standing next to her with an angry look saying, "I wanted to kiss you," as the Eiffel Tower was returned to its prior state. Chat Noir then asks, "But why was this battle different to the Akumas?"
Ladybug frowns in thought before hearing her earrings beep causing her to say, "I am almost out of time? Bug Out!" before using her Yoyo to evacuate the area.
Chat Noir looked down at his ring and realises, "I did not use my power," he looks at the night sky and says, "I might go for a stroll and if I find that thieving Racoon," he smirks before jumping away from media that had recorded the fight, Sly Cooper and the end result. Kiss included where it was made public almost instantly.
With Arsene/Sly Cooper
Sly Cooper's run was slow as the Adrenaline from that dumb idea wore off, before he crashed inside the Deckard Family Attic before taking a deep breath, and collapsing on against a large box and muttering, "Sly, Safehouse." Sly Cooper returned to being Arsene Deckard with the small creature known as Sly floated around him.
Sly simply says, "Great Job, your first outing and you already located one of the Seven. Good job?"
Arsene was confused before commenting, "What the hell, first I did something I would never have done, then I knocked a guy into a river and then k-k-k," he could not finish as he was silently having a Panic attack.
Sly simply says, "Gave the current welder of the Ladybug Miraculous a smooch, Taunted the Black Cat Miraculous holder into hating your guts enough to want to hurt you or that amazing exit after stealing the show?"
Arsene was shaking his head when a throat was cleared. Arsene looked up and noticed his mother Carmelita standing there with a look before asking, "Did your father tell you to come up here?" Arsene shakes his head in the negative as Carmelita looked to Sly and says, "What happened?"
"We found Spyro," Sly states before saying, "Look I know this is meant to be a 'happy' reunion but can we do this down stairs, attic make me peckish for lootng."
Carmelita sighs and says, "Your father is waiting down stairs," with that Arsene stands and follows his mother out the attic and down to the ground floor where the fire place where tragedy struck their family all those years ago. Devon Deckard was sitting near the fire with a book in his hands and looking at Arsene with a look of calculation.
Carmelita takes a seat to the side as Devon simply says, "Let me see it," Arsene raised Sly's watch only for Devon to says, "No your cane," Arsene's eyes widened before he pulled his cane off his back and handed it to his father to see the look of pride on his face as he asks, "Why did you hide this from us, Arsene?"
Arsene blinks at the question before saying, "Why didn't you tell me I was a Cooper?"
"The Cooper's have been using the Deckard for the family name for the last couple centuries due to the fame the Cooper name gained," Devon states as he hands his son back his cane and adds, "Our family have been thieves longer then we have known Sly here. Though I must ask, why you felt the need to hide the cane or the fact you chose that name?"
Arsene paused before saying, "Well, it felt right."
Devon chuckles before saying, "Arsene, my real name is Sly Cooper," Arsene's eyes widened as Devon adds, "Dad made a bet with that little Racoon sitting on your shoulder staring at the gold ornaments in the room. Though I was surprised that what you did to Ladybug. Let me guess, heat of the moment?"
Arsene nods before Carmelita sighs from the side and says, "With the French Police she will probably be the only one who will be able to keep up. That being said," she turned to Devon and asks, "Was that man one of the?"
Devon answered before she could finish, "Yes one of six, but I doubt that he was killed when you dropped him in the river, first time I met the Scottish Brawler, he was buried alive in a pit of Lava. And with Spyro then he would have a higher resistance. Arsene you must be carefull, thanks to Hawkmoth the Scottish Brawler's old crew may be appearing in the city soon. We will need to research him find out where he is and somehow steal Spyro back. But you will need to form your crew as we go."
"Crew?" Arsene questions.
"Yes, Cooper tradition is to form a team if like minded and trust worthy," Devon states before adding, "Plus, modern thieving has needed a team for longer then we have been known as Deckard."
"I want to reiterate, that I am not comfortable about this," Carmelita states annoyed.
Devon chuckles before saying, "Well considering what he will be doing I would think you would accept this, after all several targets around France have committed global crimes that would get them life. But most of their treasure is ours for the taking," Devon gives her a mischief filled grin that caused her to blush, as it reminded her of one thing and that was when they were still on opposite sides of the law. As Carmelita recovered from the blush attack Devon goes on to says, "Well step on is the secret room, that will have to be your safehouse until you find one to make your own."
Arsene was gripping his forehead in thought as he took a seat on one of the other chairs. Deep in thought as Carmelita sighs and says, "Unfortunately, all Cooper's have two things in common. The need to stop the dangerous Criminal's from hurting people and the thrill of the chase. We probably should make plans to invite Ladybug to join us for dinner," She was joking at the end while Devon smirks leaving Arsene to blush.
Devon chuckled and pulled the hidden lever revealing a dusty elevator and wheeled inside, "Come Arsene, time for you to read your birthright," with that Arsene stood and entered the Elevator and the two were lowered into a hidden structure, which looked to be a cross between a study and a training room, with a hidden tunnel that would be used by a large car most likely a van. Devon simply says, "The Cooper Family Training room, but before you can use it, I suggest you read the family text. The Thieving Racoonus." He hands the book over to Arsene where he was about to open it before Devon concludes, "This book is to be guarded with your life. The contents of this book has enough power to make anyone an amazing thief and in the case of the Coopers, it unlocks the skills of Every Cooper before us."
Arsene looks opens the book while asking, "So am I the only one who should read it?"
"No, your crew if given the chance can read it, it is up to you," Devon states and says, "You should start reading. One week from today there is going to be an auction of priceless artefacts at the Palais De Walewska. The Deckard Family has been invited due to our friendship with the Augustine Family. What many don't know is that the one who runs this auction and the fashion show is another ally to the Scottish Brawler/Purple Dragon. Her name is, surprise surprise Sin Queen. Unfortunately if she activated her Miraculous then she could disable the entire building including you. That means stealth is the most important part of the operation, you will need to gain access to the Auction, you won't be able to be a guest but you can sneak a wire into the room from one of the points of access. The book will teach you, but you need to practice what you learn. I will tell your school you are home sick due to an accidental allergic reaction to a peach."
Arsene frowns before saying, "But I like Peaches."
"Which is why you will make a big show of Sly Cooper eating them," Devon states, "Helps with throwing off suspicion."
Arsene had to nod along with that as he started reading the book before pausing to ask, "What happened to your cane?"
Devon's wheel chair stopped as he says, "That night I was attacked by seven, six Miraculous and one ancient family enemy, the ancient enemy stole my cane and made off with the contents of a safe holding several artefacts that could be weaponised and be dangerous to the general populace. I have been trying to find them but it has been difficult. When we get closer to the day I will inform you of anything that we should include."
Arsene had stopped listening as he made himself comfortable on top of a training dummy crouching on its head in a crouch position. Devon smiles as he wheels his way to the elevator and heading back up the elevator.
With Ladybug-That night-Dupain Chang Bakery
Inside the 'attic' of the bakery the secret identity of the female protector of Paris was currently pacing back and forth trying to find out, who Sly Cooper was and why he helped them when he claims he is a thief and why did he claim to be there to steal a kiss. Next to the young girl was a small red ladybug like creature, this being is Tikki the Kwami and she was doing her best to comfort Marionette Dupain Chang. Tikki says, "Marionette no one knows what the The Thief Miraculous or whoever found the damn thing would do," there was anger in the Kwami's voice.
Marionette frowns as she stops her pacing and asks, "Why are you so hostile to this Miraculous?"
Tikka sighed loudly and says, "It is one of the Seven, they are Miraculous that are considered Banished among all the Kwamis and Miraculous," Marionette gasps in shock.
"That is horrible, why were they banished?" Marionette questions.
"You don't understand, six of these Kwami's had been banished and were to be sealed away so that no one could use their dangerous powers. Purple Dragon's Miraculous is considered dangerous because the Kwami in question was able to use it's power without a host," Marionette was shocked before Tikki continued, "Some of their powers resulted in them being banished by the Guardians. We accepted that we had to give up six of our fellow Kwamis."
Marionette then asks, "What about the Seventh?"
Tikki growls and says, "You met his champion, and he was the first for stealing for his very nature that he refused to control. It would be like if I created whatever I wanted on a whim of Plagg destroying everything that he touched until he received enough Crambert to feed a city for all eternity."
Marionette questions, "What did he steal?"
Tikki was silent as she contemplated answering before taking a page out of Plagg's book and just admitting everything, "It is forbidden for a Kwami to read texts dealing with the powers of the Miraculous because of people like Hawkmoth knowing everything about the powers and abilities. As far as I know He managed to ensure that he would be able to use every secret hidden in the texts, and he knows all the Kwamis' secrets and the Guardians' secrets which is why the Banished Miraculous even escaped their seal."
Tikki was really starting to worry Marionette causing the human girl to ask, "How bad did it get."
"He is the reason there is so many restrictions on Kwamis, and why we are normally sealed away when there is no danger in the world," Tikki admits.
Marionette had disturbing thought as she asks, "You're not enslaved are you?"
Tikki looked to Marionette and says, "It is for the best, if everyone knew of our existence there would be thousands of Hawkmoths in the world."
Marionette then asks, "Then what about Purple Dragon, why was he," that was when Marionette's eyes widened and she says, "He only knew about on Miraculous or at least the banished ones, meaning besides Sly Cooper there is another five out there," Tikki sadly nods.
Palais De Walewska-A week later-Sunset
A party was brewing in Paris as the biggest fashion party of the year was taking place, when the Deckcard Family arrived inside a modified Limo van that was modified so that handicapped accessible. Devon rolled out the limo wearing a black suit before Carmelita stepped out revealing her to be wearing a provocative black dress that suited her frame and he hair done up in a pony tail to enticed her bare shoulders and neck. Behind then Arsene wearing a navy blue suit stepped out after them before the Limo went to park to the side in parking. Arsene followed his parents inside where they went straight to the bar area avoiding seeing this year's 'Fashion' as Devon whispered to Arsene from a hidden ear piece, "Now Arsene, as I remember it, there is a dumbwaiter that connects the basement with the attic but to gain access you will need to pick pocket one of the guards on duty."
Arsene then comments, "Actually, there is two other methods, out the back is a pipe that can take me all the way up to the roof. Though by the looks of the construction there is a ladder leading to the attic from the second floor."
"So that is your two ways up?" Carmelita questioned in his ear.
"No, the second there was an observation," Arsene answers as he looks to a poster of Adrian Augustine set to appear modelling Gabrial Augustine's newest fashion trend, "I ask for a back stage pass and sneak my way up."
Devon hums before saying, "I would avoid bringing friends into this, unless they know the truth."
Arsene chuckles behind them as they enter the front room where guards can be seen guarding the museum section and the stairs. Arsene paused when a person appeared at the top of the stairs, this person was wearing a fine red dress, brunette, pale and wearing a golden necklace that made both Devon and Arsene pause at the sight, not because of it being a Miraculous, but for what it was, a Cooper Artefact turned into a necklace, a fancy gem placed in the rounded section. (Think of it like the Ultrimatix from Ben 10 only more phone shaped and currently fully gold.)
Devon and Arsene had a singular thought, 'Steal it!' but that was not their job at the moment, they are here to get access to the auction that was to happen above them. Devon and Carmelita went to the left of the stairs while Arsene stayed with the crowd to find out who this is.
The woman spoke, "Hello again everyone I am your host once again, Sin Queen," Arsene seemed to notice a flash in her mouth as she spoke recognising the Miraculous hidden in her mouth.
Arsene had a nagging thought of, 'That is going to be annoying in the future.' Arsene then followed his parents to the bar area where they accept some drinks and head to the outside viewing area. Devon and Carmelita had their backs turned to Arsene as he was hidden from everyone's view, he leans over the bar at looked to the side at a guard looking into and away from the car park behind him. Arsene then looks forward where the Mayor of France is and his distraction.
Chloe is a blond girl wearing an expensive white dress and drinking a glass of red wine. Arsene smirks before pulling a coin out of his pocket. He then rolls the coin along the ground and watched as it fell down on it's side as Chloe stepped back while sipping her wine resulting in her clumsily slipping on the coin and spilt her wine over the front of her dress, she looked up and screamed shouting for someone to be fired and distracting everyone. Carmelita raised an eyebrow while Devon was concealing a smirk.
As everyone was distracted, he rolled over backwards over the railing into a blind spot of the security system allowing Sly to appear from his coat and Arsene says, "Time to work. Sly, Heist!" with that he turned into Sly Cooper and opened the door using a hidden security card located in the emergency fireman box, by pulling the side panel open and allowing him to get the emergency key card for all the main and emergency doors. Sly Cooper smirks as he opens the door, placing a card with his insignia on the locking mechanism and enters the hall that is actually used as storage for the gift shop and cafe, but for today, the cafe had been turned into a large bar and party room so this hall had boxed crates that were filled with objects and artefacts belonging to the museum. Sly Cooper was happy that this was not the first time he had done this, normally there is a single security room through the shortest path between the kitchen and this hall while the other door was to the changing room for staff and past it was the path leading to the steps and the dumb waiter, that could take him all the way to the attic. But that was not where he was heading, he sneaks to the security room and listened carefully.
Sly Cooper smirks as he whispers, "Three, two at the desks and one walking past this door and to the main monitors watching the everyone above and the main kitchen," Sly Cooper waited for the third guard to stop moving before he opened the door silently and looks through the room and then jumped into the room and under a table before the guards looked to the door finding no one there and being distracted as Sly Cooper rolled into the room, throwing a insignia of his watch to the security cameras memory storage as he went and side step into one of the wine cellars and hid from the staff. He had to chuckle to himself as he walked through the room and found the door unlocked.
Sly Cooper grits his teeth as he opened the door and looked up the steps and found that two employs were smoking and talking about the Auction where he hears them, "Did you see all that security equipment and the number of guards on the third floor. I tell you, that something is going on. There was one crate I got close to appeared to have a voice!" Sly Cooper's eyes widened as he continued to listen to the two, as the other says he doesn't believe him while the first state, "I am telling you I asked the box and guess what happened, it said, 'I am not meant to be talking to yet, the Auction is happening tomorrow,' then it continued counting. I think something is happening up there?" the two stood and started walking back to the door to the basement.
Sly Cooper went back inside and then jumped over a box and hid himself as the two employees went through the storage room and returned to work. Sly Cooper stood up and looked back and forth with a pile of dust on his head before sneezing lightly clearing the dust off his head. He jumped back over box he was in and found the door locked so he used the emergency card to open the door and placed an insignia card between the door frame in the event that he had to quickly escape.
Sly Cooper slowly walked up the steps and crouched at the top and looked around at the guards located around the area, and one guarding a gardening shed. He noticed a couple more guards walking along the path beyond the shed only heading back around the building.
Devon spoke in his ear, "You over did it with the dress, the Mayor left early with his daughter. Apparently his wife had said she would be here instead she cancelled without telling him. Anyway, Sin Queen is heading to the closed off section, leading to the Auction room. Though your mother found an invitation someone left in the toilet," Sly Cooper hears chuckling into a glass before he adds, "She will be unarmed though, their security is that tight. What is your progress?"
Sly Cooper whispers back, "I am on the other side of the building. I am going to try the construction site first."
Carmelita whispers, "Probably for the best, there is other people up her in the VIP section and I saw the pipe you would use, there will be five people watching you climb, along with the base most of the outside security is Patrolling that side of the mansion. Though from here I see a couple dangerous individuals from Interpol's most wanted list. All warlords and criminals."
Sly Cooper sneaks his way around a hedge and behind some camera equipment and whispers back, "One of the staff mentioned something about a crate talking to him."
Carmelita comments, "Yeah, I saw a strange crate inside the Auction Room. I flirted with a the man handing out the list for the Auction he gave me one when I showed him the invitation I had. You will not like what is on there, but the last item on the list. The Cooper Bullet Mould. "
It sounds like Devon was frowning as he says, "It is not like any of them could use it."
"The list states that a method of using it was included with the item. Apparently this Auction is the first time a new weapon is being sold since the last time I crashed the Auction," Carmelita states before admitting, "Though they clearly forgot what happened last time I was here. Even one of the guys I busted did not recognise me."
Sly Cooper pause at the base of a pipe leading up to the first floor at that comment. Sly then started climbing up and onto a ledge leading to the first floor above the ground and entered into a room with a guard facing away from Sly Cooper. Sly moved behind a shelf holding some items from the Museum and used it to avoid the guard as he walked back to the other side of the room. Sly Cooper reached door leading to an office and notices a guard leaning on a railing that leads out the front of the building but was out of direct sight enough for Sly Cooper to climb up the ladder without being seen by the crowd below or the guard slacking off. Sly Cooper reached the Attic quickly to find this part of the Attic completely empty.
Devon then speaks into his ear, "Scottish Brawler is here, along with two others we were not expecting. Speed Freak and Jimmy Cricket, so four of them are here. Stealth is even more important, if they see you."
"They will reveal themselves to Ladybug and Chat Noir," Sly States as he looks through a door and notices some guards standing there face to face not talking and wearing sun glasses in the darkened attic. Sly Cooper looks at them carefully and frowns when he noticed the red tinge. Sly stepped back in the room and asks, "That guard? Was he wearing sun glasses and emotionless?"
Carmelita answered, "Yes," Sly Cooper was silent before Carmelita asks, "You realised something?"
"Yeah, I don't think they are human anymore," Sly Cooper states as he sneaks into the attic and flipped over some crates before sliding into cover as the guards started moving into another position and that was when Sly Cooper realised they are moving in such a way that if someone was watching from a distance they would not see anything out of the ordinary. Sly avoided the guards and noticed another set of the security camera systems. Sly Cooper looks around before seeing the guards splitting up and sees one guard was sitting down. While hidden Sly threw an insignia card at the sitting guard where it cause the man to twitch but not move. Sly walked over to the guard when he was truly alone and waved a hand in front of the guard and smirks before pulling out a full deck and started throwing the cards at the guards quietly and at the security system. When all the guards had cards attached to them Sly Cooper waved his hand in front of one and says into his communicator, "They are electronic security my Insignia Cards worked brilliantly."
Devon speaks back to him, "Remember those cards only affect them for thirty minutes."
"I won't be here long enough for them to catch me," Sly Cooper states as he looks out a window connecting to the meeting room next to the Auction room.
"Then you better get to the Auction, they are starting," Carmelita whispers quickly before she says, "Ah, caught I see," there was a pause as suddenly she says, "Yes I will leave, can't blame a girl for wanting to know what happens in the VIP rooms." Carmelita was caught and after Sly Cooper reached the room he quickly hid into the closet, when Sin Queen, Scottish Brawler, Speed Freak and Jimmy Cricket. Carmelita then says, "Security removed me from the room, I will be with you soon love." At that point Sly Cooper turned his comms off due to knowing what happens every time that his mother calls his Dad love, he would rather avoid flirting.
Sly Cooper instead started listening, "Well all of us are here Clockwerk," Sin Queen states causing Sly Cooper's eyes to widen having read of the name in the Thieving Racoonus, the head of a family of who have been trying to end the Cooper Family Line since it's true founding.
The sound he heard came next sounded like a voice changer set to evil robot, "Good, here is the plan for the new Cooper and the other Miraculous hidden in Paris. If you get one you keep it and do whatever you want with it, except the one Sly Cooper has. Whoever can get me that one, will get whatever they want." If Sly Cooper could see their faces he would see the desire on their faces, "Fail me," he knew they would understand. After a brief pause Clockwerk spoke again, "Purple Dragon, your punishment for acting without orders is to follow one plan from all five of my generals. Sin Queen, Speed Freak, Jimmy Cricket, the Mechanic and The Beast. Before you may try again."
The Scottish Brute growls before saying, "Of course Clockwerk," while the three other occupants of the room containing a laugh.
Clockwerk then says, "All of you plan, Sin Queen ensure that the weapon is revealed, we will arm nations throughout the world and control the world," with that the phone hanged up.
Sin Queen chuckles and says, "Well with that done, please ensure that you do not make a scene at the bar. This is a national monument that I intend to own when we have the world taken over." With that the four leave the room.
Sly Cooper steps out when the room was empty and activates his communicator to hear Devon say, "This reminds me of the time we spent in the Louvre."
Sly sighs and says, "Please stop so I can inform you of Clockwerk's plan."
They were silent for a moment until Devon asks, "What did you hear?"
"Clockwerk has made weapons he intends to fill the world with, and apparently Purple Dragon is in trouble. Though I don't think they are going to make a move inside the building, Sin Queen wants it," Sly Cooper states before saying, "Clockwerk only wants my Miraculous, he told his 'Generals' they could keep them when they got them."
Sly Cooper reaches the door leading into the room and quickly speeds under the table holding miniatures of the items being sold. He was concealed as Sin Queen started the Auction with a devious smirk and says, "There has been a change of plans, due to a request made by the creator. We will be selling the last item first." Cooper leaned down so he could see under the sheet covering the table and notices that he was almost looking up Sin Queen's dress and moved quickly as the crate can be seen being wheeled in. Two guards stood either side of the crate and opened the crate revealing a robot made of gears and glowing with orange lights coming from the seams. Sin Queen speaks up again, "This here is the first of a new generation of weapons, the Metal Knights. These are custom made weapons, no two can be alike as this one has a near bottomless ammunition capacity. With a special item designed to turn anything into ammunition and use it against your enemies. This weapon also comes with support type drones to ensure that it is working to its fullest."
The Metal Knight growls and shouts at the Auctioneers, "Hurry up and buy me! I want to cause some havoc!" the Metal Knight stepped over near Sin Queen and suddenly kicked the table behind her and turns to Sin Queen and shouts, "Hurry up and sell me!" only to notice no one was looking at him instead at Sly Cooper who had suddenly been revealed.
Sin Queen notices him as well and suddenly says, "Well looks like we will have a demonstration! Now Metal Knight destroy the intruder," she gestured to Sly Cooper.
The Metal Knight laughed and aimed at Sly Cooper and fired only for Sly Cooper to avoid the attack by rolling out the way and drew his cane as the Guards' eyes all flashed and they were replaced with entities that appeared to be shot up and holding double barrel golden guns and started attacking. Sly Cooper managed to head to the back of the building where he was on an empty balcony. Sly Cooper avoided several more shots from the Metal Knight before the guards followed suit causing Sly Cooper to jump of the railing and then used his cane to catch himself and swing into the building and along the ground scaring several of the models. Sly Cooper shakes his head in recovery and found that everyone was staring at him and he noticed, Adrian Augustine in the newest fashion trend, "PEACOCK FEATHURES," and has a good laugh until a loud crash was heard outside and the Metal Knight charged forward while opening fire and causing a panic. Sly Cooper notices that the Metal Knight was shooting without a care before he grabs Adrian and flips him away from the attack but some of the bullets do destroy the Peacock feathers that was causing him problems and completely ruining the clothes that he can no longer and to his hidden joy wear in public. Sly shouts at Adrian, "RUN!" before avoiding some more bullets until the Metal Knight ran out. Sly Charged forward intending to hit it back only for the Metal Knight to back hand him through the air and out the doors, curtain and over the crowd of photographers.
Sly Cooper struggles to stand on the cat walk as he sees the robot guards arrive with a bucket of sand and pouring it into a funnel connected to a safe that appeared to be the panel of its back. Once they were done the Metal Knight stepped forward and shot into the air while shouting, "This is fun, I might kill everyone here for the hell of it."
Sly Cooper stands and looks around the room noticing that everyone was running in a panic except his father who was directing people out with Carmelita. Though he does notice Sin Queen had walked down to the second floor to watch the coming battle, with a guard filming the battle. Though everything goes black and white in his vision where the necklace around her neck and then the safe on the Metal Knight's back. Sly Cooper comments, "Oh, that is how."
The Metal Knight opened fire again destroying the stage and speakers above them. Sly Cooper did his best to avoid the attacks and proceeded to advance to direct the Metal Knight away from the populace. Though he lost the attention of the Metal Knight when the staff of Chat Noir suddenly smashed on top of it's head. Chat Noir then shouts, "What is going on? And we will be talking about what you did afterwards!"
Sly Cooper chuckles and says, "You will have to catch me first," Sly Cooper smirks and asks, "Could you distract this Metal Knight for a couple minutes," Chat Noir glares at him from his side. Sly Cooper notices the glare and sighs, "Never mind," he points his cane straight up and say, "Adieu!" before shooting up into the air quickly.
Chat Noir shouts at him only for Sly Cooper to look up while chuckling and receiving a double red and black spotted kick to the face knocking him down. Sly Cooper groans as Ladybuy landed next to him saying, "What have you done now?"
Sly Cooper sat up when suddenly his cane fell on his head after unhooking itself from the metal frame holding the lights above them. Sly takes his can and glares at Ladybug before smiling, "I can't be angry at you, especially if you wanted another kiss so bad," Sly moved his head quickly to avoid Chat Noir's staff extending where his head had been. Sly chuckles and says, "I don't think your cat likes me."
That was when Sly Cooper and Ladybug rolled out the way when the Metal Knight was unloading all around him trying to hit any of the three Miraculous holders. The three did their best to dodge the attacks with Ladybug having tried blocking the attack with her Yoyo only to notice that she was not fast enough to block the attack. Ladybug did her best to dodge before she and Chat Noir ended up taking cover behind a stone pillar. Sly Cooper was next to be shot when the Metal Knight ran out of ammo again and shouted a very naughty word to the air as the Robot Guards stepped over with buckets of rocks and other small items. Sly Cooper took the chance and grappled up to Sin Queen window before waving to the camera, "Merci!" before using his cane to swipe the Necklace she was wearing before dropping away.
Sin Queen shouts, "My Necklace, you little thief!" causing Ladybug and Chat Noir to see what he was doing before he landed back on the destroyed catwalk.
Ladybug sighs before taking her Yoyo and throwing it into the air from cover while shouting, "Lucky charm!" what it created was the same Cooper Cane from before. Ladybug looks at the item she just catch and shouts, "What the hell do I do with this?"
Chat Noir was just as confused but then looks out from cover when Sly Cooper shouts, "You could hit the broad side of a barn! What wrong can't touch a moving target!? Come on, come get me!" Sly Cooper then ran through the back of the Museum heading for the open field outside where the Helicopter had taken off with the dangerous VIP's to finish the Auction outside of the city. Sly Cooper jumped to the side while still luring out the Metal Knight and his Robot Guards. The Metal Knight had reloaded and was shooting at Sly Cooper as he jumped around while performing flips to avoid the attacks and then throwing his cane towards the robot quickly getting it to bounce and shooting a couple of the Robot Guards. Sly Cooper laughs and says, "You are a terrible shot!" and rushed forward.
Ladybug looked at the cane she made as she reached the back of the building in time to see Sly Coopers attempts to dodge the Metal Knight. Chat Noir beside her smirks as he leans on the door frame while saying, "Well look at that, he is getting what he deserves."
Ladybug frowns before looking at the cane in her hands and the cane in Sly Cooper's and says, "Why did the Lucky Charm make this?" she then looks at Sly Cooper and in his hand at the necklace he stole her vision turned black and white while the necklace flashed red and black spotted and then looking at the Metal Knight's back and sees the same on the safe door built into the robot. Ladybug's mouth was open in shock as she says, "Sly Cooper," after looking at him he flashed red and black spotted, forcing her to say, "Great, the Lucky Charm wants us to help him."
Chat Noir was the first to ask, "What?"
"Let's find out what he intends to do. Help him," Ladybug was forced to admit before smirking and adding, "Then we can catch him," she smirks to Chat Noir.
Chat Noir chuckles and says, "Well I can do that!" and used his staff to jump into the air and shout, "Cataclysim!: his hand generated black energy as the Metal Knight turned to him and found Chat Noir grasping the Robot's chest and removing an armoured plate and nothing else. Chat Noir was quick to avoid a sudden swing from the Metal Knight and falling to the ground and extending his staff up knocking the robot back. LadyBug arrived by swinging her Yoyo and speeding over to the Metal Knight and whacking it with her cane denting the Metal Knight's armour Plate.
Unfortunately they were then attacked by all but one Robot Guard, knocking the away from the Metal Knight as the robot reloaded. Sly sighs as Chat Noir was sucker punched and Ladybug was managing with her copy of his weapon. Sly Cooper then charged forward after throwing his cane at the Metal Knight. The Metal Knight's weapons were knocked out the way as Sly Cooper reached the Metal Knight and proceeded flip over the robot. Sly Cooper, with the Necklace in his hand attached it to the Metal Knight's back creating a massive flash of light that blinded everyone facing them including Ladybug as she was about to be attacked by a Robot Guard only for the guard to freeze as it's forehead cracked and the gem from the necklace plopped out slowly.
Sly Cooper laughed as everyone heard some numbers shout out and then the opening and closing of a safe door. Sly Cooper's laughing was stopped when the Metal Knight swung back throwing Sly Cooper over Ladybug and Chat Noir. The Metal Knight turned to them while shouting, "You think you are funny!" he pulled the trigger on his weapons only for nothing to happen as the robot shouts, "Reload!" the single Robot Guard grabbed a bucket of stones and poured it in. After the Metal Knight was reloaded it opens fire and both weapons jam. The Metal Knight growls and opens the covers on both arms and stones and other small items pour out where the bullets go. "WHAT!?" was shouted in shock by the Metal Knight.
Sly Cooper sits up and says, "What do you expect," be pulls out a steampunk styled bullet mould and a metallic blue dial before saying, "Without my family's Bullet Mould, you can't make bullets out of anything," Sly Cooper then looks at the Metal Knight's chest and says, "Now all someone would have to do to destroy you is to break that orange mechanical heart in your chest there."
Ladybug and Chat Noir notice the cartoon heart shaped pump in the Metal Knigt's chest spinning before charging forward with his staff and her cane and stab said mechanical heart. They watch it shatter before LadyBug throws her Lucky Charm into the air and fixes everything. Including the Metal Knight and Robot Guards, only none of them glowing orange as their 'hearts' had been destroyed.
Sly Cooper chuckles as he looks at his 'catch' before dodging Chat Noir trying to catch him. Sly Cooper avoided their weapons while commenting, "What's this, you two are on a time limit and expect to catch me like this? Well then, only one thing for it," Sly Cooper flipped backwards and turns before saying, "Running away!" and runs to the side of the mansion opposite the party where all the equipment was stashed and purposely dropped the access card before reaching the stairs to the basement near the gardening shed and snuck his way in. With Chat Noir and Ladybug hot on his heels, he slammed the door shut on Chat Noir's face and then rushed through the store room and flipped over the guard and across the room where staff take their breaks and ran into the change room before Ladybug and Chat Noir could follow and out into the hall that he broke into. He broke the door handle and then rushed to his door as Chat Noir slammed into that door and Ladybug rushed through the security room. Sly Cooper walked through the first door he used causing the card to fall out and then lock behind him.
Ladybug rushed after him and used the card to open the door and found Arsene Deckard staring into the sky while smoking and wearing headphones to his phone. Ladybug looked at him and was about to ask him only for a card with Sly Cooper's symbol to land on her head and she caught it and started reading, 'Better luck next time my beautiful lady,' Ladybug looks to Arsene and asks, "Where is the Miraculous?"
Chat Noir arrives rubbing his nose as Arsene pulled out his ear phone and asks, "Who was that blue guy with the staff that just flew away in a jet?"
Ladybug and Chat Noir blink at him before Ladybug asks, "How do we know you aren't Slimy Goober?"
Arsene blinks in confusion as he asks, "So that guy's name is Slimy Boober? Poor guy. Also to answer your question I have been chain smoking," he points to the ground where there has been three cigarette butts and ash. They smell the air and his breath and notice the smoke. Also the forth cigarette that was mostly smoked in his hand.
Chat Noir and Ladybugs' Miraculous' beeped and Ladybug sighed in defeat and says, "Come on kitty. He got away!" with that Ladybug used her Yoyo to escape the area over the fence to the side while Chat Noir went over the building and hid in a crate hoping that no one saw him as he transformed.
Arsene smirks as the timer on his watch timed out and the cameras started working again along with the Guards in the attic started moving and the recordings completely blew when they were no longer forced to loop by Sly Cooper's power. Arsene started walking up the steps before looking back down them and seeing Sly Cooper step out the door that locked itself and transformed dropped some cigarette butts from his pocket onto the floor, and pulled two capsules of different sizes out his pocket and placed the smaller one in his mouth and used both hands to break the larger one to drop a bunch of ash on the floor quickly as it was weighted and left a smell of smoke in the air. He held his breath after cracking the capsule in his mouth as some smoke spewed from his nose and he exhales and grabbed a shortened cigarette from a pack of smoke placed head phones on and tapped play with his right hand on his pants and lights the cigarette with his watch, then throws one of the card he prepared into the air and stared straight up and leaning on the wall to the side as Ladybug rushed out the door.
Arsene chuckles before dropping the cigarette in his mouth, stomping it out and saying, "Better luck next time my beautiful lady," instead of returning to the bar he walked through the car park and out the gates where his family Limo was parked and took a seat inside and from the chair took out a portable game system and started playing games while his parents had gone back inside with everyone else to continue the party with Arsene texting them saying that he was in the Limo.
With Adrian Augustine
From the crate that Adrian hid himself in from the gun fire, Chat Noir transformed into Adrian as the security suddenly rushed into the area and he hears a woman shout his name outside the crate. Adrian slowly raised the lid of the crate open and asks, "Is that monster thing gone?" Security rushed over to him and lifted the lid and moved him out the crate where they could see the damages done to the fashion statement were still there.
The woman who called out his name looks at the face of a tablet and says, "He is safe, Mister Augustine. He concealed himself when the machine attacked but the suit you made him has suffered damage in the process."
"Natalie, send him home now," Natalie nods before turning the Tablet to Adrian and says, "Were you injured?"
"No, Father the monster thing was not aiming at me and I was knocked out the way before any could hit me directly," Adrian admits as a large Gorilla like man pulled him to the side so he could change out of the ridiculous outfit and be taken home.
With Devon and Carmelita.
Devon was faking talking on the phone and appearing to sigh in relief as he says, "Good I will see you when we leave." Carmelita was speaking with some of the other patrons and a couple police officers explaining what happened and commenting about a crate she saw on the third floor. Devon wheeled over and says, "Arsene, went to the Limo when the first shots were heard. He is waiting for us to return so we can go home."
Carmelita nods at that before smiling to those talking with her, "This has been enough excitement for one even, It is time we go home," Devon wheeled over and the two grasps hand and 'walk' together through the building and out the front as Devon texted the driver to come pick them up. The Limo arrived quickly and extended it's ramp for the two to get in and then drive away. They found Arsene playing 'Pay Day Two' and failing completely by trying the sneaky way, when you are meant to do it the loud way for the first couple times. Carmelita sniffs the air in the Limo and ask, "Have you been smoking?" getting a chuckle out of Devon and Arsene.
The Limo drove through the city and past Marionette as she appeared talking into her handbag. They completely miss this as they were quietly talking about what Arsene and Sly was able to steal. Not only did he get the Cooper Bullet Mould, but also the Cooper Clock Dial, used for unlocking the mechanisms of any type of lock, since it's invention. When not in use it appears as a golden necklace. Arsene looks at the Bullet Mould and asks, "Why did the Cooper's have something like this?"
Devon answered, "It was Tennessee Cooper creation. He needed to make his own bullets when the criminals of his time decided to cut him off from bullets for his cane. So he made his own and became an expert craftsman of bullets using alternate materials. In the end he discovered modern day bullets and invented bean bag bullets two hundred years before the idea of non lethal bullets were even suggested."
Arsene frowns before saying, "Guns, no style when they are used to rob criminals, unless they are using them," Arsene and Devon chuckle at that.
Carmelita on the other hand says, "You both feel that it is fun to get shot at?"
Devon chuckles before saying, "Well it was always fun running from you when you chased me," Carmelita giggles at that while Arsene groaned in exhaustion hoping to avoid the flirting.
With Sin Queen-After Dark
Sin Queen with her arms crossed, watched as the Robot Guards in the attic who had completely failed both their jobs and their systems. Sin Queen then looks at the security system that was completely fried. Sin Queen's phone then rung she answered and the voice of Clockwerk's voice was heard making her nervous, "what happened?"
"The New Cooper showed up," Sin Queen states before admitting, "Fortunately the bumbling of the Metal Knight revealed him snooping into the meeting. Now we know he heard us so he probably knows we are targeting him and your plans for the Metal Knights."
Clockwerk growls with a clear metal chattering before saying, "Sly Cooper's capture has become paramount. I will be sending each General a Metal Knight that works with each of your powers. I will be there in one year you all have until then to succeed. Fail this task consider your lives forfeit."
The phone hung up on Sin Queen, where she grips the phone and crushed it as a couple Robot Guards in human form stepped forward and Sin Queen said to the guard, "Contact Purple Dragon. I have a job for him, then contact the others inform them of Clockwerk's instructions."
Sin Queen stares at the room behind her to see and hear Scottish Brawler spoke up from the side, "What is the job?"
Sin Queen smirks and says, "Well I believe that the best plan is to go all out. My plan for you is to take a couple dozen of my Guards to attack the city. I don't care where, your powers are destructive not subtle."
Purple Dragon chuckles and says, "Good!" before silently transforming.
Sin Queen sighs before saying, "Not here, take the guards!" she waved him off and the guard next to her stepped forward with a bag of what appeared to be miniature robot figurines, "Don't activate them until you start your attack!" Purple Dragon accepted the robot guards and left her silently through the window to the side and glided away from the building. Sin Queen then goes to say, "Have everything ready at my summer home, in Autumn," she sighed loudly at the thought.
next day-Eiffel Tower-Eleven o'clock in the morning
Purple Dragon glided to the Eiffel Tower holding the bag of Robot Guard's and shouts, "Sly Cooper! Face Me!" before setting the Eiffel Tower on fire again. Instead of Sly Cooper showing up though the tower was suddenly covered in Ice and above him a woman wearing a black and purple suit holding a parasol and floating in the air. "Oh, do have a Miraculous too? Not for long!" that was when he was zapped by a lightning strike that makes a gem on his wrist to change from green to sick yellow.
"I AM STORMY WEATHER! I will be putting the deep freeze on Paris and taking all the Miraculous for HAWKMOTH!" before sending several freezing winds and lightning bolts.
Purple Dragon suddenly had flames covering his body protecting him and says, "Then tell Hawkmoth to fight his own battles," as he back handed the lightning bolt at Stormy Weather destroying her umbrella causing her to fall to the ground and transform into a normal girl as a black butterfly flutters away, only to be caught by Purple Dragon as Ladybug arrived to see. Purple Dragon saw her and says, "I see one of you arrived," and crushed the Butterfly much to Ladybug's shock.
"That butterfly was innocent!" Ladybug shouts before swinging her Yoyo at Purple Dragon quickly, only for him to catch it and yank her towards him and behind him along the ground leaving her to get tangled up in her Yoyo.
Ladybug groans as Purple Dragon pins her down underfoot and says, "Now we wait for the two fools," Purple Dragon chuckles as he starts waiting.
Ladybug glares at him while asking, "What do you want?"
"Like you don't know, after all you are Cooper's ally!" Purple Dragon applied pressure, Ladybug was struggling under foot with Purple Dragon looking around. Purple Dragon looks down and asks, "Where are they!" before grabbing her by the throat and lifting her up letting her Yoyo being undoing around her body. Ladybug reached up to his hands and did her best to tug his hands open to free herself.
Ladybug growls while asking, "How are you so strong?"
Purple Dragon laughs and says, "What do you expect, have had this power for fifteen years!" Ladybug's eyes widened as he continues, "Though when I give your Miraculous to one of my future subordinates they will have to be physically capable! Though that ability to summon weapons may be useful."
Ladybug's eyes widened even more as she asks, "Your Kwami never told you!?"
"What are you talking about?" Purple Dragon questions in her while shaking her violently while while Ladybug was sure she heard his fist 'Shush' her. When Ladybug did not answer Purple Dragon he threw her away and into the frozen side of the Eiffel Tower. Only to be pinned again by Purple Dragon against the Eiffel Tower's base. "Talk!"
Ladybug continued to struggle before Ladybug smirks and says, "The fact you have a Miraculous does not mean you know anything about it," Purple Dragon pulls his right fist was pulled back and then went to punch Ladybug and metal pole staff was swung into the side of Purple Dragon's head knocking it partially.
Purple Dragon turned his head to face Chat Noir who was glaring at him, "Put Ladybug down," he was angry at the sight of Ladybug being injured.
Purple Dragon chuckles before grabbing a section of the Eiffel Tower and tearing the metal and using it to bind Ladybug in a cocoon of metal that bound her arms and legs while leaving a hole next to her. Ladybug looks more annoyed as she bluntly stared at Purple Dragon and then tried to struggle in the thick metal sheet. Purple Dragon slowly walked to the angry Chat Noir while opening the bag of miniatures while saying, "Well time to follow the plan," Purple Dragon states before emptying the contents of the bag and twenty four Robot Guards grew around him. Chat Noir looked back and forth in confusion as Purple Dragon says, "You like, I normally don't go for the whole plan thing but this one I can get behind! Get Him!"
Chat Noir rolled out the way and used his staff to Pole Vault over the Robot Guards who drew weapons golden guns and swords. They were focused on Chat Noir as Purple Dragon walked slowly towards Chat Noir as he was distracted and when Purple Dragon was behind Chat Noir, Ladybug shouts, "Chat Behind you," Chat Noir turned around and suddenly had his face grabbed and lifted into the air.
Chat Noir grabbed the wrist and did his best to kick Purple Dragon only for him to not budge. Purple Dragon was laughing as he squeezed hard before Sly Cooper's cane flew through the air and bounced off of Purple Dragon as he dropped Chat Noir as Sly Cooper then ignores Purple Dragon as he gets in Ladybug's face while a large satchel was hanging off of his shoulder.
Sly Cooper crosses his arms and says, "Where were you? I just robbed the Mayor's Daughter and you were nowhere to be seen!" Ladybug and Chat Noir blinks as to the side Purple Dragon was starting to growl as Sly Cooper ignored him and the Robot Guards slowly walked up behind him. Sly Cooper is seen waving his staff up and down as he says, "Seriously the Mayor even took down that recording of that Akuma threatening the city. Seriously I went as far as humiliating the Mayor's daughter so I could get good chase. The entire police force and no super heroine. What Gives?"
Ladybug sighs at the stupidity and says, "Look behind you already!" Sly Cooper sighs before spinning around with the duffel bag at the Robot Guards where it was cut open and it's contents covered the floor in jewellery and friendship bracelets. Ladybug looks at the Friendship bracelets and her eyes widened as she realises that all the friendship bracelets Sly Cooper stole from Chloe, actually belonged to one Marionette Dupain Chang and every single one was considered lost by said girl. Leaving Ladybug alone as he jumps over Purple Dragon quickly and slashing through a couple of the Robot Guards. Ladybug renews her struggles and finds that she can slowly get herself out the metal plate.
Sly Cooper sighs as he used his cane to slam the robots to the ground with a loud ring like a bell. Chat Noir groans at the high pitch ring on his ears. Chat Noir used his staff to slam the robots down while saying, "This is the second time in a week that Purple Dragon set the Eiffel Tower on fire. Though I did not know that he could freeze things."
"It is not that type of Miraculous," Sly Cooper shouts over to Chat Noir as he knocks several of the robots down and deactivating them. While Chat Noir managed it by beating each robot several times.
Chat Noir eventually shouts, "Seriously what is your cane made of? My arms are killing me."
"Family secret," Sly Cooper shouts before knock a couple more robots and dodging Purple Dragon. Sly Cooper smirks and says, "What is wrong Violet Lizard, you upset being some ones dancing monkey?" Sly Cooper flipped to the side as Purple Dragon creates a crater in the ground where Sly Cooper had been standing.
Purple Dragon shouts, "No one controls me!" as he wildly swings his fists.
Sly Cooper avoided him and says, "That is not what Clockwerk told you," Purple Dragon's eyes widened before increasing his pace. Sly Cooper then comments, "But seriously destroying the Eiffel Tower twice. You must really hate France!"
Sly Cooper from the side moved at the way as a piece of trash went flying into Purple Dragon's face which distracted Purple Dragon as Sly Cooper suddenly swung his cane from below and knocked him into the air. Purple Dragon Miraculous went from sick green to yellow as he stumbled back. Before Sly Cooper charged forward and directly attacked him a second time with a swing that on a normal person could be considered fatal causing the yellow gem to turn orange. Purple Dragon looked to it as Chat Noir suddenly used his staff to knock him back. Purple Dragon looked down at his Miraculous and says, "I don't have time for this," he then goes to leave only for a Yoyo to catch him.
Ladybug stopped Purple Dragon and says, "You are not going anywhere!"
Sly Cooper smirks as he slowly walks forward to Purple Dragon and says, "Well looks like you will be returning that Miraculous," Purple Dragon glared at them as Sly Cooper walked towards him while patting his cane.
Ladybug then stopped Sly Cooper by saying, "You both will be returning the Miraculous!"
Sly Cooper chuckles before saying, "Like Tikki will let you," Sly Cooper walked past Ladybug as she was slightly shocked.
"Like I will let you touch my power!" Purple Dragon shouts before his mouth opened and a pair of pilot light ignited and Sly Cooper had to avoid the mouth Flame Thrower at the three. Sly Cooper spun out of the flames while in shock Chat Noir pulled Ladybug out the way. Purple Dragon managed to stand and jumped higher than the frozen Eiffel Tower and flew away quickly.
Sly Cooper looks in the direction and sighs before feeling a heat on the back of his leg and looked down and saw that his cape was on fire. It was also when the entire Paris Police Department along with the mayor and Chloe wearing a bathrobe. Chloe spots Sly Cooper and shouts, "There he is! That was the criminal that set my wardrobe on fire and stole my jewellery!"
Ladybug frowns at Chloe and asks, "Chloe why do you have bracelets with someone else's name then?" as she picked up one such bracelet.
Chloe rolled eyes and says, "Please Marionette never deserved those plus she is such a looser no one would care."
Sly Cooper chuckles and says, "That is funny coming from a girl only wearing a dressing gown. What you didn't like the clothes I didn't set a litre?"
Chloe shouts, "I will never wear the same clothes as Marionette Dupain Chang!"
Sly Cooper chuckles before saying, "Well I will be going now, Ladybug has a lucky charm to do," before gaining a smirk and stealing another kiss from Ladybug and started running as fast as he could from Chat Noir who was truly tempted to use his 'Cataclysm.'
Ladybug while blushing looked around for the 'item' her Lucky Charm only to remember she had yet to do that and threw her Yoyo into the air and shouts, "Lucky Charm!" what she got was a Eiffel Tower key chain and says, "Well that makes sense. Miraculous Ladybug," throwing the item into the air and undoing the fire and ice damage done to the city. She then notices the girl who had been Akumatised and found her crying. Ladybug crouched next to her and asks, "Are you okay?"
The crying girl looks up and Ladybug sees who it is, the girl who came in second for the local television network, to become the weather girl of France. The girl says, "No, everyone hates me. Mirae won with eighty percent of the votes to my twenty. Now I don't want to live anymore."
Ladybug's eyes widened when she thinks, 'She must have been trying to kill herself when,' she stopped thinking and lifted the girl to her feet and gave her a hard hug that surprised her and Ladybug simply says, "Just because other people don't like you, does not mean no one does," she stops hugging the girl and says, "Don't throw your life because of a moment." The girl who had been crying nods in understanding before promising not to do anything harmful before Ladybug's earrings beep and she says, "Well later, bug out!" before using her yoyo to fly away from the scene, leaving a girl to really think about what her future actions would be.
Chloe though shouts at Ladybug as she went the opposite direction to Chat Noir and Sly Cooper, "What about that criminal," she was completely ignored as the jewellery was picked up and questions are asked by the police about some of the items, turns out she has been straight up stealing them with bounced bank checks.
What Sly Cooper was doing before arriving at the Eiffel Tower
Sly Cooper's day started the way Saturday's normally started for Arsene, boredom. He opened his lap top and looked into the Social Media his class use and see that Chloe had decided to be her normal self.
Chloe posted about how she had to leave the party early because of incompetent staff failing to clean the floor or about how one clumsily staff, spilling her drink on her. Unfortunately almost every second post was Chloe wanting attention becoming even more elaborate in her complaints even commenting on other peoples' posts about how they are not talking about the 'injustice' of no one talking about her.
Though the last post he read was a picture of Marionette earlier in the week and titled, 'Worst dress 'witch' in Paris.' It did not say witch. With that Arsene decided that it was time to do his first official robbery. With that he transformed into Sly Cooper and snuck his way out of the Deckard Family home without being seen, with a duffel bag attached to his back. He reached the Bourgeois Hotel and grappled to the balcony of one Chloe Bourgeois' room and flipped himself into the room to see the door to the bathroom partially open and he hears two female voices. One of Chloe complaining and the other of a submissive girl apparently washing her back and agreeing with everything Chloe said.
Sly Cooper smirks as he sees Chloe's normal Clothes prepared for her on her bed but decided to walk over to the wardrobe and smirks. On the way he made a stop to rob a random store for the materials he needed. An exact copy of Marionette Dupain Chang's normal attire. Sly Cooper smirks as he switches said clothes on the bed with the copy and then opens a draw that holds Chloe's Jewellery with thoughts about some of them, 'I thought she said she returned them,' he shakes his head and proceeds to empty the jewellery into the duffel bag and then started transferring all the clothes and shoes onto the balcony and on a couple pool floating chairs while dowsing them in flammable liquid and had them floating in the pool along with some matches and waited for Chloe to scream and the other girl to notice smoke and walked outside to see Sly Cooper sitting on a pool chair waiting as he sets the clothes floating on the water on fire. Though he noticed in the distance some strange weather patterns in the sky before noticing the Eiffel Tower set on fire again and sighs. Guessing Chloe's calling the police and security he was surrounded as he says, "Well looks like Ladybug is not coming, oh well," he then started running towards edge of the building and removed his hat before gliding with it when the cap turned into a parachute and glided towards the Eiffel Tower while noticing an Akumatised villain was flying towards the tower and with storm clouds. He arrived in time to see Purple Dragon crush the strange black butterfly and Ladybug becoming angry and then being captured and bound to the Eiffel Tower with the actual metal it was made of. Using a pair of binoculars he looked to Purple Dragon and at his Miraculous to see it as a sickly yellowy green and says, "Someone got a good hit in I see. The book said that Miraculous didn't have a proper time limit instead having to take five fatal blows before he is forced out of his enhanced form," he continued to watch as Chat Noir arrived and then saw that Purple Dragon had a plan, using Robot Guards to distract the other Miraculous holders and over power them. With Ladybug bound and Chat Noir about to be beaten to a pulp Sly Cooper sighs and decides to interfere by throwing his staff.
After the fight-With Sly Cooper
Sly Cooper was swinging away from Chat Noir and having a blast. Chat Noir was actually struggling to keep up with Sly Cooper's agility. Chat Noir's staff only extends giving him the ability to pole vault or elevate himself towards Sly Cooper. Sly Cooper on the other hand was able to hook onto bars and pillars to spin around them to suddenly turn different directions away from Chat Noir. Sly even managed to get away from Chat Noir by back tracking to the Eiffel Tower and getting away from Chat Noir with the same method he did the first time, by hooking the Eiffel Tower and spinning around it and going further then Chat Noir could track him, while shouting "ADIEU!"
Once he got away from Chat Noir, Sly Cooper took a seat near a park when he see Marionette and one of his other class mates playing with a young girl nearby a photographer who was impatiently tapping his foot as Adrien started running into the park out of breath. He then sees the young girl start to take photos with Adrian. Much to the disappointed body language of Marionette and the humorous one of their fellow classmate.
Sly Cooper chuckles before thinking, "That girl, Alya I think, made a blog," he then smirks and uses his Grapple Cane to swing past Adrian's Photo Shoot as Alya was recording the interaction between the young girl and Adrian getting caught in photo smirking and giving both camera's a wave and then getting away from the group shouting, "Adieu!" and getting away from them before they could realise what had happened.
With Marionette-That moment
Marionette watched with her jaw open in shock at the absolute gall of the master thief. Alya next to her was also in shock as she just got one of the biggest scopes so far of her short blogging career, a clear recording of Sly Cooper in his full glory. Adrian could be seen glaring in the direction of Sly Cooper causing Marionette to question what Adrian was thinking. The Photographer sighs loudly and says, "I think it is time for a break, at least until your anger calms from an inferno to a embers," he turns to Marionette and Alya before shouting at the two, "YOU TWO! Take Adrian and the girl to get ice cream!" causing the young girl to clap in agreement the Photographer gave them some money and went with them to get Ice Cream.
The French Global Defence Branch-That moment
In the main Evidence Hold, where the remains of the Metal Knight and Robot Guards. The room was guarded and a single man wearing a white and gold jumpsuit and going through the different components of the Metal Knight and frowns. The chest plate was originally welded down, and the only part that did not get repaired, was a strange heart that was too complex for modern science or magic to repair.
This man appeared to be of Asian descent, with brown hair, was frowning in thought as one of the other technicians in the room stepped forward, "Agent Noel Takeo, the metal does not appear to be of Gangler origin but it appears the Safe follows the same 'biological' function only with mechanical means."
"Oh la la," Noel states before saying, "This is dangerous, the Ganglers are still a danger to the world. Now someone is mimicking them, and selling them at the Weapons Auction. That we did not get into due to one Carmelita Fox Deckard, though as it turns out our operative that was meant to enter, discovered that the guards were looking for them with a gun when Sly Cooper crashed into the Fashion show," Noel was deep in thought after seeing recordings of the fight had only one thing to say, "Best case scenario I should meet this master thief, but the question is who will he target."
That was when a runner came in and shouts, "Sly Cooper just robbed the Mayor's Daughter, and she has been arrested."
Noel looks at the man with a raised eyebrow in thought before speaking to himself, "Cooper? I need to check my sources," he walked over to the Metal Knight and drew what appeared a train themed gun and blasted a finger off the Metal Knight and walked away. Though once he was outside the hold he pulled out his cell phone and made a phone call asking, "Kogure-san, does the name Sly Cooper mean anything to you?"
