After hearing about the plan that Carla was going to execute, the gang quickly got set up for the mission aswell, as they started to head towards Karow Russia trying to reach it before the swat team could, but they couldn't, as they enter the Karow volcanos they find a few destroyed cars with swat officers dead on the ground, horribly murdered, they then find a gate which was busted through, as Phoenix stands on the gun while Gamma and Alpha stay inside the car, Gamma asks.
Gamma: "Jordan you know how to use the gun?"
Phoenix: "Yeah, I read the instructions multiple times."
Gamma: "Good, shit theres landmines on the ground shoot them!"
Phoenix starts shooting the landmines destroying them while Alpha makes his way through, after they destroy the landmines suddenly huge robotic owls start roaming above them.
Alpha: "Phoenix shoot these owls down!"
Phoenix starts shooting at the birds, as he struggles a little cause of their fast movement, but he manages to shoot them down when they went straight towards him, as they continue forward, they see a huge owl statue with yellow eyes, as suddenly an energy blast from the eyes shoots down a mountain that was between it and the gang, as suddenly huge rocks start to fall from the mountain as Gamma says.
Gamma: "Oh no! This is not a statue, this is a fucking death ray! Phoenix shoot these rocks now before they crush us!"
Phoenix: "Phoenix then aims his gun at the rocks as he starts shooting them before they could crush him and the van, he manages to do so as Alpha continues to make his way through, suddenly another flock of robotic owls appear on the left side of the van, as Alpha says.
Alpha: "Phoenix heads up 9-12 o'clock more owls!"
Phoenix then aims his gun and starts shooting the owls, after he takes them out, he sees more landmines in the way, he shoots them down to clear the way, suddenly the huge death-ray owl shoots an energy ball towards the mountain where large green glowing rocks start to fall, they turn out to be little hard to break as it takes a few shots to do so, Phoenix destroys them while clearing the way from landmines.
After that the gang starts to make their way closer to Clockwerk's entrance, but before they could go in there, a huge flock of robotic owls surround the gang, as Phoenix comments.
Phoenix: "We're getting real swarmed here boys!"
Phoenix starts to shoot all of them down, as they almost catch him but he manages to take em all out before they could, after that Alpha says.
Alpha: "Nice shooting Jordan, seems we're in the clear for now."
Phoenix: "Alright let's go in, uhh this cave doesn't look tall enough for the turret to go through!"
Gamma: "We're gonna have to let go of the turret, go back inside."
After the gang enters the base, Phoenix goes back inside the van as the turret gets destroyed, they start to make their way through the base, Gamma starts hacking the base's system, as he tells Alpha where to go while looking at the base's schematic.
They then enter a section of the base where it's built with a round ground with lava around it, as Gamma says.
Gamma: "Alpha I hacked the system to drop the computers that are in control of the security, once they drop I need you to destroy them by running them over with the van."
Before Alpha could start running them, suddenly fire slugs start coming out of the lava, as they start going towards the computers, as Gamma says.
Gamma: "These fucking fire slugs are intent on taking the computers, there are about 119 computers here, try to atleast destroy 60 before they could take them so that we can continue ahead, also you can take these fire slugs out by pushing this button which activates this hammer that destroys anything in front of the van."
Alpha then starts destroying the computers while also taking out the fire slugs before they could take the computers, but he is unable to take them all out before they could atleast grab 1 computer, but he continues to grab more computers while they also try to catch up, but thankfully Alpha manages to grab 60 computers before they could, as they reached 43 computers, as Gamma then says.
Gamma: "Good driving Alpha, we managed to destroy enough computers to destroy most of the security inside Clockwerk's death-ray tower to allow us go through, now I think its time for our friend here to go inside and continue the mission, don't ya think Phoenix?"
Phoenix: "Sure, but I gotta look for some survivors on the way here, I need to also find inspector Lopez aswell, I'll see what I can do."
Phoenix then hops out of the van, as Gamma opens the gate to allow Phoenix to go through, he then pulls out his gun, as he starts checking the hallways as he sees swat officers dead on the floor, he starts calling out.
Phoenix: "CARLA! CARLA ARE YOU HERE?! CARLA ITS ME PHOENIX! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
Phoenix gets nervous and worried that Carla might have died he then makes his way through the halls, as he then finds a big area filled with traps such as search lights and big dart guns, he starts checking the place out with his binoculars as Gamma quickly says.
Gamma: "Stop don't go there Phoenix! These tiles are boobytrapped, if you go near them they will start shooting darts that will inject you with poison, instantly killing you! Better look for an alternative way."
Phoenix: "Okay let me just see real qui- CARLA!"
Phoenix found Carla trapped inside a force field on the other side of the traps, as Phoenix then says.
Phoenix: "Shit shes stuck! I gotta find a way to help her."
Gamma: "What? No! She brought this upon herself."
Phoenix: "I don't care if it's her fault, shes trapped and Im gonna do whatever I can to break her out free."
Gamma: "Are you crazy man? Clockwerk probably put here there just to trap you aswell."
Phoenix: "I can't fucking leave her like this! This is dishonorable on my ancestors legacy and I really fucking care about Carla, I don't give a fuck if you're going against it, Im gonna save her now."
Gamma: "You and your ancestors legacy send shivers up my spine, but fine, you see that barrel on that ledge over there? Try going inside of it and go through the traps, it should protect you from the darts but it wont protect you from the searchlights so avoid those, also theres an owl machine that shoots bullets aswell, it's indestructible from the front but vulnerable from the back, find a way around the owl and you can take it out."
Phoenix: "Alright then, wish me luck."
Phoenix then grabs his grappler and uses it to get on the ledge, as he does, he quickly takes cover behind a wall, so that the owl wouldn't be able to shoot him, he makes his way around the wall by using his gloves, as he avoids a search light, after he goes around the wall, he destroys the owl robot and goes over to the switch that holds a path towards the tiles, as he destroys it the path falls and allows Phoenix to go down from the ledge.
After that Phoenix starts to make his way through the traps, as the dart guns start shooting at Phoenix but it hits the barrel, Phoenix manages to go through the traps without setting the alarms off, after that he manages to make his way to the point the dart machines cant shoot him, as he hops out the barrel and destroys a powerbox that keeps the security laser on, as it turns off, he hops into the room where Carla is locked up, as suddenly the entrance behind Phoenix closes with a window rising up, as Phoenix notices he grabs his hammer and tries destroying the window with it, but fails, by then Carla had just seen Phoenix in front of her as she says.
Carla: "Phoenix?!... I should've known you were behind all of this, this was your whole scheme?"
Phoenix: "No you got me wrong Carla, Im here to help you escape."
Carla: "Wait, so you came all the way through this place just to break me free."
Phoenix: "Yes I did, now listen I need you to-"
Suddenly gas starts to fill the room as Phoenix realizes whats going on, as he says.
Phoenix: "Oh Clockwerk YOU MOTHERFUCKER!"
Phoenix pulls out his gun and starts shooting at the windows, but fails to do so, as the gas starts to get to him, he presses a button on his mask which fills it with a healthy air medicine, it didn't get rid of the gas but it's able to keep Phoenix alive for about a few minutes, Carla watches as Phoenix starts to drop down on the ground becoming weak and unable to move as she cries out saying.
Carla: no no NO PHOENIX! PHOENIX PLEASE GET UP! DONT DIE ON ME PHOENIX COME ON!"
Suddenly Clockwerk voice comes on the speakers as he starts to laugh at first and says.
Clockwerk: "You sentimental idiot, empathy had always been the downfall of you and your ancestors, by using the inspector as a trap to lure you in, you have ultimately ended your life, as this gas is going to mutilate your body and make your skin melt, poor little boy will never avenge his weak family."
Carla starts to cry as she sees Phoenix struggling to get back on his feet, coughing and laying down on the ground, as he is minutes away from death, he then hears Gamma speaking in his ear piece.
Gamma: "I knew this was a fucking trap, hang in there Phoenix, Im gonna have the security in this place and stop the gas from spreading, don't give up just yet."
As Gamma enters the security of the base, he needs to collect 13 scripts of the security to stop the gas from spreading, as he goes in the codes, he starts destroying a protective layer around the script, after he destroys them, he grabs the script and goes into level 2, he now needs to collect 2 scripts to go to the next level, suddenly an anti-virus enters the code and tries to stop Gamma by shooting shuriken like-shaped bullets at Gamma to stop him, but Gamma shoots the shuriken and continues to destroy the protection layers around the scripts, after that he grabs the two as he has 3 scripts now, he enters level 3 which has 4 scripts, now its getting a little bit claustrophobic, if Gamma touches any of the layers or shuriken, the hacking would fail and Phoenix would die on the floor, but he manages to break all the layers of the scripts while avoiding and shooting down the shurikens and layers, he now has 7, he then enters the final level which has 5 scripts, but this time there are two anti-viruses instead of one, as Gamma then says.
Gamma: "Oh you wanna go all out? Then show me what you got!"
Gamma starts breaking the layers of the scripts while destroying the shurikens, he almost gets hit by the layers and shuriken but manages to hold on as he destroys all the layers of the scripts and then grabs them, as he does he says.
Gamma: "Lets go! Im the best hacker in the entire world! No code can stop me!"
As Gamma deactivates the gas that almost killed Phoenix, after that, the air inside the mask kept him alive as he slowly starts to get up on his feet, Carla looks at Phoenix as she says.
Carla: "Gracias a dios! I thought you were gonna die!"
Phoenix: "A gas... trap won't be- the death of me *cough* *cough*."
Carla: "Im sorry Phoenix, I was wrong about you, listen if you can break me out of this force field and I'll make it up to you some way."
Phoenix: "Alright, step back a little."
As Phoenix grabs his stick he turns into a cane, as Carla steps away he smashes it, after that he falls down on his knees, as he continues to cough, Carla immediately goes over to him as she puts his arm around her shoulder and stands up saying.
Carla: "Esta bien estas seguro ahora (Its okay, you're safe now)."
Carla then pulls out her shock pistols and shoots the wall behind her, as she walks out the trap while holding Phoenix, after they walk out, Carla gently puts Phoenix on his feet and says.
Carla: "Let me get this mask off you so you can breathe."
Phoenix grabs her arm stopping her from doing so as he says.
Phoenix: "No don't! *cough* *cough*"
Carla: "What?! You need to catch some air Phoenix!"
Phoenix: "No listen, this makes has an air vent built inside, it's what kept me alive, without it, I would've already died 5 seconds as soon as the gas started spreading."
Carla: "Oh god, well okay catch your breath real quick we don't have much time."
As Phoenix starts to catch his breath, as he does, he looks back at Carla, as he says.
Carla: "Carla Im-"
Suddenly Carla hugs Phoenix as she says.
Carla: "Oh my god, you wouldn't believe how scared I was once they caught me and killed my entire squad, I thought my life was gonna end, thank you so much."
Phoenix: "I should be thanking you, Im sorry for arriving a little late, we were supposed to be here in a day, but we heard your swat team talk on the radio so we had to pack up quickly and catch up."
The two then break the hug as Phoenix looks at Carla and says.
Carla: "How're you holding up?"
Phoenix: "Better than ever, you?"
Carla: "Im okay... Phoenix there is something I don't understand."
Phoenix: "What is it?"
Carla: "Thing is, I don't get your motive, for years I hunted you, tried to throw you behind bars, once you have a chance to leave me in a cage you set me free why?"
Phoenix: "Hm, Carla, see I always enjoyed the hunting sequences we had, even if I almost got caught multiple times, I still enjoyed you chasing me around the world, and you aren't my enemy, never was, but that robotic maniac fucking owl is, he tried to destroy my ancestors legacy and fuck up the whole world along with Las 5 Amenazas."
Carla: "Oh... But I never really understood why your after Las 5 Amenazas, or who they specifically killed that mattered to you."
Phoenix then takes a breath as he looks at Carla and says.
Phoenix: "I suppose I owe you an explanation, 14 years ago when I was 8 years old, my dad gave me a book that detailed the story about my ancestors, once who fought for justice with or without working for the law, as in some places the law enforcement were corrupt or greedy and never did their job, so they had to take it upon themselves to bring justice, well on that night when I was reading the book, Las 5 Amenazas came into my house, I had to hide the book and in the closet, as my dad had to fight them off to keep them away from me, he died fighting like a brave man, after that they went after my mother, who didn't tell them who I was but died because of it, I watched it all happen while I was in the closet, after that they found the book of my ancestors and they stole pages from it, when I managed to hunt down each one I took the pages they stole and learned a-lot from my ancestors, it helped me take down Las 5 Amenazas and get to this point, so if your wondering why I do what I do, hope that gives you a clear answer."
Carla is shocked to hear the reason behind Phoenix's motive, as she then says.
Carla: "So you basically went after Las 5 Amenazas because they killed your parents and stole something that mattered to your ancestry line?"
Phoenix: "Yeah, and Im here to make Clockwerk pay for what he did, Im gonna kill that motherfucker for it."
Carla: "I see, well I suggest we work together for now, I'll help you take him out."
Phoenix: "Hey, together at last eh?... LOOK OUT!"
Suddenly Phoenix grabs his cane as he grabs Carla and holds her as a large robotic owl tried to attack Carla but he managed to get his hands on Phoenix's cane, Phoenix quickly pulls out his gun and tries to shoot, but fails, he tries to grab a mag but realizes he's out of mags, but Carla quickly shot the owl bird with her shock pistol, but the cane ended up on top of the mountains.
Phoenix: "Shit I need that stick, without it I'm basically fucking dead."
Carla: "Don't worry Phoenix, I'll cover you while you get it back, by the way, I left my jet pack on top of the death-ray before Clockwerk nabbed me, if you can make your way to the top and take it, it will come in handy against Clockwerk."
Phoenix: "Alright well, now that we're team and all Im worried about leaving you behind."
Carla: "Listen, this truce is only temporary, once we take down Clockwerk, Im going after you."
Phoenix: "Huh, just like that?"
Clara: "Well, if you make it, I might give you a 10 second head-start."
Phoenix: "Id like that."
Carla: "Before you go, take this."
Carla hands Phoenix a radio to Phoenix, as he grabs it and says."
Phoenix: "Whats this for?"
Carla: "For communication, if either I or you need help, we can help each-other out with it."
Phoenix: "Thanks, Ima go now."
Phoenix then slides down the rope which leads to the death-ray below, as he starts to make his way through suddenly fire slugs start to come out the lava, as Carla manages to shoot then before they could reach Phoenix, after that Phoenix starts to jump on machines and wires as he makes his way up, as suddenly fire slugs start to come out from what looks like tunnels that lead to inside the death-ray, Phoenix starts to back up a little allowing Carla to shoot the fire slugs, once she does he continues his way up.
Phoenix jumps on top of a tunnel entrance and jumps on a pipe as he starts climbing up on it, after that he jumps to another pipe from above as he stands on it, but suddenly a robotic owl comes out the windows, Phoenix immediately crouches as he sees that the robotic owl was about to get to him, but Carla shoots him before it does, Phoenix then jumps on another pipe as another owl comes out the window, but Carla was quick enough to shoot that it before Phoenix had to dodge it, as Phoenix then jumps on a pipe and starts to climb it.
Phoenix is now near his stick, as he is on the top floor walking towards it, but theres a problem, multiple battery engines are blocking the way, Phoenix looks at Carla and signals her to shoot them down, but suddenly a fire slug comes from behind, Clara shoots it down, and starts shooting the battery engines, after that he goes forward while she destroys the other ones, but at the same time more fire slugs come out from tunnels, she shoots them down while making the way for Phoenix, after she shoots down the last engine battery Phoenix manages to grab his stick, as he looks back at Clara and signals a kiss for her by putting his hand on his mouth and sending it towards her, she giggles as she watches him leave and she says.
Clara: "Nice job Phoenix."
Phoenix then makes his way to the death-ray as he finds the jetpack on top, as Gamma says.
Gamma: "Good to have you back Jordan, now listen there is the jetpack that Carla told you about it, but we don't have much time, the magnatronic support field got destroyed as Clara was making the path for your stick, shake your legs man this whole thing is about to fall apart."
Phoenix: "On it."
Phoenix jumps and slides on few ropes that connects from one energy stabilizer to another, after that he reaches the ground floor of the death-ray, he starts walking up on a pipe but notices an electric stabilizer going on and off, he waits for it to turn off as he goes up, he finds 2 hooks which he uses his cane to climb on and jump to get to the other side, once he does a platform falls and allows Phoenix to walk on it as he jumps on a pipe and starts walking up, avoiding the energy stabilizers again, as he makes his way through few cartwheels fall on to the pipe, as Phoenix turns his can into a hammer and destroys them while running, after that he jumps on a moving cartwheel and jumps onto another pipe, he walks up and avoids another energy stabilizer, he then finds a rope that leads to the other side, as he starts climbing on it, once he does he avoids another energy stabilizer, and then he finds few moving energy converters moving clockwise, he wait for one line to go up as he jumps from one to another.
after he makes his way to the last one he jumps on another pipe, as he avoids few energy stabilizers, after that he finds 4 energy transporters going on and off, he picks his moment as he jumps from one to another avoiding being electrocuted, as the lava kept on rising, he climbs on a pipe and finds few more energy stabilizers, he makes his way through them, as he then manages to reach the top, he grabs the jetpack and puts it on, as he then activates it, keeping him floating in the air, he watches as the death-ray falls into the lava seconds after he grabbed the jetpack, as Phoenix then says.
Phoenix: "Gamma, how do I control this thing?"
Gamma: "Well it's pretty easy, the left stick makes you move left right forward and back, the right stick makes you turn to the side, you se the button on the right stick? Thats the one that shoots missiles, and that handle on the left makes you go up and the handle on the right makes you go down."
Phoenix: "Alright, I'm getting the hang of this."
Gamma: "PHOENIX HES BEHIND YOU!"
Phoenix then turns the jetpack around as he finds Clockwerk, a huge robotic owl coming out from the lava looking at Phoenix, as he then says.
Clockwerk: "Well well well if it isn't little Phoenix, first you take out my gang, escaped my gas chamber and then destroyed my death-ray, remarkable, you and your ancestors always find a way to beat me."
Phoenix: "Always?! So that was you in all of the photos I saw in my ancestors book! How old are you?"
Clockwerk: "Perfection has no age."
Phoenix: "Great, you're fucking immortal?"
Clockwerk: "Revenge is the prime ingredient for fountain of youth, I kept my self alive for centuries with nothing but hate and determination, for the day that I can end your ancestry line, and complete my revenge for the day your ancestor Tariq Mustafa had destroyed my reputation."
Suddenly a static noise comes from the radio that Clara gave Phoenix, ad Clara says.
Carla: "Phoenix! My missiles don't hurt him but seem to create holes in his armor, shoot into the gaps I create!"
As Phoenix and Clockwerk start battling, Clockwerk shoots a few energy blasts at Phoenix while he dodges them, Clockwerk says.
Clockwerk: "Your the weakest member of your ancestors that went up against me-"
Clockwerk gets hit by the shock pistol in the head, as it creates a gap in his head, Phoenix takes the opportunity to shoot its head, as it starts to destroy the masks little by little, after the gaps go off, he then says.
Clockwerk: "You cannot escape me Phoenix!"
Carlamanages to shoot his legs to create a gap in them, giving Phoenix the opportunity to cause more damage, as he starts to take down the armor of the legs even more, as the gap wear off Phoenix continues to taunt Phoenix by saying.
Phoenix: "Your skills will never surpass mine, I'm far more superior than you Jor-"
Carla makes a gap in his tail, Phoenix continues to shoot it down, as he's thankful for Carla's timing cause he almost said his real name, now Clockwerk looks like he's about to fall off, Clockwerk continues shooting energy blasts at Phoenix but none of them hit him, as Clockwerk then says.
Clockwerk: "I will end you Phoenix!"
Carla then shoots at Clockwerk's right wing, as Phoenix manages to go shoot it while dodging the energy blasts, after he shoots his right wing with missiles, Clockwerk falls down to the lava, as Phoenix then screams.
Phoenix: "YEEEEESEEESSSSS!"
Gamma: "YOU ACTUALLY DID IT JORDAN! YOU FUCKING MONSTER YOU ACTUALLY DID IT!"
Alpha: "YOUR THE BEST PHOENIX!"
Carla: "Thats what Im talking about!"
Suddenly Clockwerk rises from the lava, looking horribly damaged but is able to stay alive, as now he has what seems to be 3 circular gaps that seems to be some kind of a weapon, everyone gets irritated as they say.
Phoenix & Gamma & Alpha & Carla: "Oh you gotta be fucking kidding me!"
Phoenix: "I don't get it Clockwerk, if you know so much about my ancestors you must've known that my father had a son, why did you leave me when you stole THE TRUE JUSTICE?"
Clockwerk: "I wanted to show the world that without your stupid book, your ancestors would have been nothing."
Phoenix: "See here's where you're wrong Phoenix, it doesn't take the book to make great honorable vigilantes, it takes honorable vigilantes to create THE TRUE JUSTICE."
Clockwerk: "Enough with your touchy talk, your life ends here, I will finish you like I finished your father, and your ancestry line, will end here."
Phoenix: "Bring it on you fucking owl."
Gamma: "Phoenix these 3 guns on top of his body shoots a circular energy attacks, go through the middle and you'll be able to avoid the electricity!"
Clockwerk starts to shoot multiple circular energy attacks, as Phoenix goes through each one avoiding the energy attacks, after that Carla shoots a shock bullet at his right wing at it creates a gap, Phoenix shoots it down as it starts to tear off his wing.
After the gap wears off, he continues shooting energy attacks at Phoenix, but he manages to dodge all of them, after Carla shoots his left wing as it makes another gap in his armor, Phoenix takes the opportunity to shoot missiles at it, disfiguring the robotic owl even more.
Clockwerk is look like he's unable to fly steady, as he continues to shoot even more attacks at Phoenix while shaking and twitching, after that Carla shoots Clockwerk body as it creates a gap in it, Phoenix takes the opportunity to shoot the body as it starts showing the robotic guts, such as the lungs, stomach and heart.
Clockwerk is closer to death now, as now he tries his best to stay alive as he shoots even more circular energy attacks at Phoenix, but none of them seem to touch Phoenix, after he dodges all of them Carla shoots a gap in Clockwerk's head, creating a gap, Phoenix takes a chance to shoot the gaps in the head, as he does, Clockwerk falls down into the lava, as he falls into it, his body still out trying to fly but unable due to the damage he took, as Phoenix realizes he goes down to the ground so that he can make his way to Clockwerk after his jetpack ran out of power, as Gamma says.
Gamma: Now's your only chance Jordan! Get to his head and destroy it before his body could recover and attack you!"
This is the finale between Phoenix and Clockwerk, as Phoenix starts to make his way through avoiding lasers and jumping on lasers, Clockwerk starts saying random things as his brain malfunction.
Clockwerk: "Murder, blood, death!"
Phoenix then walks around walls to continue his way through, as he jumps from one structure to another.
Clockwerk: "Error 404, system not found!"
Phoenix then jumps on a platform with lasers going around in all directions, he jumps and avoids each one as he makes his way and find a pipe which jumps and holds on too.
Clockwerk: "!انا راح اقتلك يا طارق! انا مو راح انساك (I will kill you Tariq! I'll never forget you!)"
Phoenix continues to go climb the pipe as it goes down below the lasers, he avoids them as he makes his way through to the end of the pipe.
Clockwerk: "You are a dead man Elliot!"
Phoenix shivers a little as he hears the sentence he heard Clockwerk say to his father before he killed him, but he manages to go through as he jumps on Clockwerk tail and goes to his head, as Clockwerk turns his head around and looks at Phoenix and says.
Clockwerk: "YOU WILL NEVER GET RID OF ME PHOENIX! I AM FAR MORE SUPERIOR THAN YOU CAN-"
Phoenix starts smacking Clockwerk's head with the cane, as he slowly starts disfiguring his head and destroying his eye, Phoenix starts screaming in rage as he lands the final blow by decapitating off Clockwerk's head as it falls into the lava, as Phoenix looks at Clockwerk's head floating on lava, finally dead after many centuries, he says.
Phoenix: "This was for my ancestors, this was for my parents, this was for my Carla, and this was for me, burn in hell you fucking monster."
After that, Phoenix starts looking through Clockwerk's body, as he managed to find the missing pages he stole from the book, thankfully they weren't burned or ripped apart, Phoenix then makes his way out of the lava, as he goes over to a platform to watch Clockwerk's corpse in the lava, as then a monologue starts with Phoenix saying.
Phoenix: "It took some risky attempts but I managed to take back the pages Clockwerk stole from the book, I've taken down each member of Las 5 Amenazas, Sir Maculkin, Topdog, Ms.Paula, Fireking, and Clockwerk, Ive beat them all one by one and managed to regain the stolen pages of my book and restore the honor of my ancestors, of course I wouldn't have been able to do this without the help of my friends, I know the missions we were on were too much for them, but they managed to stick by me through it all, hah, Dax, it took some guts for him to fight and challenge racers and helping me get the keys to continue forward, I know he was scared, but slowly he's starting to go along his heart and continue going forward, and thank god for Michael, without him I wouldn't have known what to do or where to go, and I wouldn't have survived the gas chamber without him, a guy couldn't ask for a better gang of friends, I think we're forgetting someone where."
As Phoenix watches Clockwerk's body in lava he starts hearing footsteps behind him, he turns around to find Carla with a shock pistol aimed at him with handcuffs in the other hand, as she says.
Carla: "I gotta say, you're really something eh Phoenix? But I guess this is where our truce ends, hands up and turn around."
Phoenix realizes that he's finally caught and won't be able to find a way to escape, as he takes a breath and turns around and holds his hands up as he says.
Phoenix: "Fair, you did make your word and I accepted it, guess my legacy ends here."
Carla: "Don't think so, if I give the chief my word that you helped me take down Clockwerk and also saved my life, I think he might go easy on you, hell he might even recruit you, he's always interested about your skills."
Phoenix: "Lets hope your word does work."
Carla: "Well, Im always true to my word, I promised you that 10 second head-start, remember?"
Phoenix then turns around as he looks at Carla as he smiles and says.
Phoenix: "You know I almost did, one of the things I like about you Carla, is that you don't forget the promises you make."
Carla: "Never do, now, 10... 9... 8... 7..."
Phoenix is not running but is slowly walking towards Carla, she gets confused a little, as she says.
Carla: "6... 5... Phoenix what are you doing?"
Phoenix chuckles a little, as he then grabs his mask, pulls it up to show his mouth, as he smiles at Carla, showing that he has a nice beard, Carla starts stuttering.
Carla: "Ph-Phoenix y-you?-"
Suddenly Phoenix puts his hands on her arms as he pulls her in for a kiss, as he does something mischievous while doing so, after he breaks the kiss, he puts his mask back on his mouth, as he starts to walk away while looking at Carla, as he then says.
Phoenix: "I love you."
Phoenix then goes to leave, as he left Carla speechless, she looks back at Phoenix as she then says in a soft tone.
Carla: "Espera no te vayas- (Wait don't go-)"
Carla tries to go after Phoenix but suddenly something pulls her arm, she gets confused as she looks back, she sees that shes been cuffed to the platform, Carla realizes what Phoenix had done, as she looks back at him and screams.
Carla: "MALDITO GILIPOLLAS! TE MATARÉ! (YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! ILL KILL YOU!)"
As Phoenix makes his way to the van, he hops in the van and says.
Phoenix: "GO GO GO WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!"
Alpha quickly steps on the gas, as the van leaves the Karow volcanos, as the gang starts to take a breath, they start to come to a realization that they finally killed Clockwerk, as Phoenix lays down in the back of the van, whispering in happiness as he finally took revenge on the man who ruined his life, as Gamma looks back at him and says.
Gamma: "You... are the craziest motherfucker Ive seen in my life, you took down each member of Las 5 Amenazas, yet you're still in one piece."
Alpha: "Thats Jordan, a man who never gives up on his goals no matter what."
Gamma: "Yeah... also what the fuck is wrong with you? Did you seriously fucking kiss Carla and left her cuffed on the platform? HOW FUCKING CRAZY ARE YOU?!"
Alpha and Phoenix start to laugh, as Gamma looks at him confused, as he then says.
Gamma: "She gave you a 10 second head start, you could've easily came to the van without doing her like this."
Phoenix: "See, if I let Carla chase after me while I go for the van, she would have managed to follow me and stay on my trail, she might have been able to shoot the van with her shock pistol, and... well I just had to show Carla how much I love her, she was stunned, and she liked it."
Gamma: "Criminal rizz at its finest, let's go home."
We then cut to Carla Lopez back at the volcanos, as shes trying to break free from the cuffs, using her clip, she manages to open the cuffs, as she frees herself from it, after that she puts her shock pistol in her holster as she looks back at where the van left and says.
Carla: "You are one, fucking, player with feelings Phoenix."
As her anger starts to fade, her face blushes as she puts her fingers on her lips, and smiles as she says.
Carla: "But that beard, that smile, that kiss, it was so beautiful."
Suddenly police sirens can be heard approaching the volcanos, as it snaps Carla out of her daze, she finds the police cars swarming the place, she then grabs her police badge and says.
Phoenix: "Interpol officer, don't worry, it's all over."
A car stops near Carla, as it seems to be a regular vehicle and not a police one, as then Chief Taylor hops out of the far alongside a fellow officer, as she looks at her and says.
???: "Inspector Lopez, are you alright?"
Carla: "Im okay constable Farah, I managed to survive this whole shithole,"
Farah: "Thank goodness, what about the rest of the squad."
Carla: "They... They... Im sorry, they didn't make it, it's my fault Farah I fucked up big time."
Farah: "No it's okay, it's not your fault, they fought for something they believed in, and you were able to complete the mission, they're gonna be proud of you."
Carla starts to tear as she hears Farah's words, as she looks at her and says.
Carla: "Thank you."
Farah: "No need to thank me."
Farah then takes a look at Clockwerk, as her eyes widen from the surprise at seeing him, as she slowly walks on the platform to get a closer look, the Chief then approaches Carla and then says.
Chief Taylor: "Carla, you okay?"
Carla: "Chief, Im sorry, Im so sorry that I led my fellow officers to their death, I shouldn't have went with this mission from the beginning Im so sor-"
Chief Taylor: "No no no it's okay, you're safe now, it's not your fault, damn, this place seems to have turned into a whole circus chaos, what happened?"
Carla: "We had found Clockwerk's base, we went through multiple squad units in multiple vehicles, few of them got destroyed by the landmines Clockwerk had planted, and some got destroyed by robotic owls that he created, once we went through, I lost many men in front of my eyes as they were attacked by some kind of fire monster, I grabbed my jetpack and started shooting at the monsters, but suddenly Clockwerk came and nabbed me, put me in force field made out of glass with many traps outside, I thought I was dead for sure."
Chief Taylor: "So how did you escape?"
Carla: "Well, the last person I was expecting to see, was Phoenix, he dodged through the traps and made his way to the room, but suddenly the glass window behind him closed, I thought he was behind all of this, but he explained his innocence and said he was here to help me."
Chief Taylor: "Wait so hold on a second here, Phoenix the vigilante, came to help you?"
Carla: "He did, but before he could break me out, suddenly deadly gas starts to fill the room, he falls down on the ground as he struggles to breathe, as I hear Clockwerk laugh on the speakers saying that empathy was always his ancestor downfall, and it was clearly obvious he nabbed me to lure him into a trap."
Chief Taylor: "So, did he die?"
Carla: "The crazy part is no, his mask has its own ventilation system which released some air that kept him alive, while his friend hacked the system and disabled the gas, after that he got back up on his feet, he broke the force field as he fell down on his knees, I helped him get out of the room, after we went outside, I asked him why did you save me? He said because Im not his enemy and never was, he also told me the real reason why he was after Clockwerk and Las 5 Amenazas."
Chief Taylor: "Why?"
Carla: "Its because they killed his parents when he was young, he saw it all happen."
The chief and constable look at Carla surprised, as the constable realizes something about what Carla said, as she figures out something on her own.
Chief Taylor: "Wait, so you're telling me, Phoenix went after Las 5 Amenazas for revenge because they killed his parents, and he saw all of that shit when he was young?"
Carla: "Yeah, thats basically what happened."
Chief Taylor: "So... the reason why he made a copy of the file you had, was because he wanted to go after his parents murderer and not fuck with us at Interpol, and he took a fight with every member of Las 5 Amenazas but didn't kill them except for Clockwerk, but allowed us to arrest them?"
Carla: "Exactly, he may be a vigilante, but he says he has his own code and honor, and he does follow it from what I've seen."
Chief Taylor: "So after he told you what happened to his parents, what did you do next?"
Carla: "I suggested a truce to defeat Clockwerk, after that I said Id go after him, I told him about my jetpack, he went to get it, and Clockwerk showed up, I realized my shock pistols can make gaps in his armor, and so I shot him with them, while Phoenix shot missiles at him, after he went down, Phoenix went to finish the job, as I saw him decapitate his head with his cane, after that he made a run for it, I tried to catch up but I was too late."
The chief and constable stay silent for a second, as the chief starts to chuckle a little, Carla and Farah become confused as to see the chief laughing, as he then says.
Chief Taylor: "Man, I gotta meet this Phoenix guy someday, if you catch him Carla, make sure you don't hurt him too hard, I wanna have a talk about many things with this man... okay, Carla, you've done more than enough, Im proud that you managed to help takedown Clockwerk, for now, go home and get some sleep, me and constable Farah will take care of this... HEY WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING OVER THERE! GET THE FUCK BACK TO YOUR JOB!"
The chief then starts to scold some employees who aren't doing anything, as it leaves Carla and Farah alone, Carla starts thinking about the kiss Phoenix gave her, as Farah looks at her then says.
Farah: "Your cheeks are red Inspector Lopez, are you okay?"
Carla: "What wha-? No no it's nothing, just little tired thats all."
Farah: "You sure, you look blushing, let me guess Phoenix tried flirting with you again?"
Carla: "I... yeah he did, he did, and he also did something despicable aswell."
Farah: "What is it?"
Carla: "Keep this a secret between me and you, but this fucker, I had him cornered, I was gonna arrest him but I kept my word true, and I gave him 10 second head start, as a thank you for saving my life, I thought he was gonna run, instead of running away, he slowly walked up to me, while I was counting to 10, I got confused, why's he not running away? What is he gonna do? as I reached 0 he grabbed my hands, and... I can't say it Farah I can't."
Farah: "What? What did he do?!"
Carla: "That little motherfucker pulled his mask up to his nose, I saw the bottom of his face, he had a nice beard, and before I could do anything... guess what happened next."
Farah: "Don't tell me, he kissed you?"
Carla: "He sure fucking did, but he also handcuffed me to this rail, as after he pulled away from the kiss, he looked back at me and said he loves me, and ran away, I tried to chase him but I realized I got stuck, so yeah I am a fucking idiot."
The two stay silent for a second, as Farah then shouts.
Farah: "WHAAAAAAAAT?! HE DID THAT?!"
Carla: "Shhhh! Keep your voice down, and yes he did, he kissed and cuffed me to the rail, and ran away like a bitch."
Farah squeals out of happiness and starts to laugh as she says.
Farah: "Oh my god! A vigilante just stole an Inspector's heart with a kiss! A fucking kiss!"
Carla: "He tricked me! He lured me into his kiss I didn't know he was gonna do it!"
Farah: "Carla, anyone could tell he was gonna kiss you if he approached you and pulled his up to show his lips, unless... wait have you ever kissed someone before?"
Carla: "No, that was my first ever kiss."
Farah continues to laugh as she grabs onto Carla's shoulder, while Carla's face is fully red and embarrassed about what happened, as Farah says.
Farah: "He stole your first kiss, just like that! And yet you don't know anything about him, you don't know his face,voice, and even his first name! Did you enjoy it?"
Carla: "Eh I mean it wasn't really bad, he was a good kisser and... and... yeah I loved every second of it it was so good, now go ahead and laugh while I die of embarrassment here."
Farah continues to laugh, as Carla tries to leave but Farah stops her as he grabs her hand and says.
Farah: "No wait Im sorry I shouldn't be laughing, I mean I'm surprised Carla, you never showed any interest in men ever since you started working, people around the office thought you were not interested in love or maybe had feelings towards women."
Carla: "What no? I like men Farah."
Farah: "What I'm trying to say is that, Im surprised that no one was able to steal your heart, but a vigilante who you don't even know nothing about at all has stole your heart and kiss."
Carla: "I guess Im a fool for love."
Farah: "It takes great charming skills to make a woman like you a fool for love, don't blame yourself, just take it as Phoenix being a man who knows how to make a lady fall in love with him, I tell you what, invite him on a date, start going out, start a relationship with him, put your differences aside and I think you two can make it work!"
Carla: "I don't think it'll work, trust me Id like too, but the problem is, I'm a cop and he's a vigilante, sure we may fight for justice but on different sides of the law, but the way he's doing out, just makes it illegal and he's considered to be a criminal, listen if I can ever convince him to become an officer at Interpol, maybe I can actually have a chance to have a relationship with him."
Farah: "Well let's hope it works out, anyways, I think I need to finish my job for today, go and take some rest Inspector, you really need it, goodbye for now."
Carla: "Alright, goodbye constable."
Carla then leaves the volcanos, as she heads home to get some rest, after she gets to her apartment she takes a shower and puts on some clothes to sleep, as she lays down on the bed she tries to sleep, but she couldn't get the image of Phoenix kissing her out of her head, as she stays up all night thinking about him, coincidentally, Jordan couldn't also sleep because he was also thinking about Carla the whole time, some people are strange eh?
Finally after many years, Clockwerk and his gang had been defeated, as the world has now been spares from the misery that Las 5 Amenazas has brought upon them, as their empires had fallen apart due to the help of Phoenix's gang and Inspector Lopez, finally the world is at rest, as Clockwerk's head can be seen in the lava.
Suddenly his eye lights up, Clockwerk seems to be not out of the picture yet for now, until the next season of Phoenix and his gang, in Phoenix: Band of Vigilantes.
The end.
Writer's note: Hello everyone! thank you for reading my own version for the Sly cooper series, it was kind of a hassle looking over back and forth on the whole sly game, I had to remove few missions I didn't like and changed a few things which seemed to be more appealing to the story, also you might be confused as to how I managed to complete the first season when I said I had college, well due to some problems going around, the day was postponed until maybe late October, so now I have a chance to write few more parts for the second season, anyways goodbye for now!
