At the Neptune Prison, Nico was talking to Caitlin and Dominique.
Nico: (to Caitlin and Dominique) Ok. Here are the new IDs for you. Now, just lay low until I can clear your names in Beverly Hills.
Their names for the time being are gonna be Peggy and Jenny.
Caitlin: Thanks Nico.
Dominique: Yeah as long as we're free from that bitch Mandy.
Nico: No problem. She has failed this world because of her own selfishness.
Caitlin: You got that right.
Caitlin and Dominique were placed on supervised probation and protection in San Francisco.
Back at the estate we were watching TV, playing card games, reading books and playing portable video games. Lincoln was reading comics in his underwear.
Rhinox: Where are Caitlin and Dominique now?
Nico: They are on Supervised Probation in San Francisco, California.
Riley: I would not want to be in their shoes now.
Me: Me neither.
Beast Wars Inferno: You did the right thing helping them, boss. Now, they'll be free of any further villainous influence.
Nico: Thanks Inferno.
Maria: Vince, promise me you'll never cheat on Carol. Because if you do, (cracks her knuckles) I won't be happy!
Vince: You have my word Maria.

Lincoln: That was cool though.
Me: Yep. Sidney how did you all transform the first time?
Sidney: Well unlike what happened everyone down in the Underground City, we transformed in the park.
FLASHBACK.
Sidney: (Narrating) We were having lunch in the park and then we started changing. It was excruciatingly painful.

FLASHBACK ENDS
We laughed.
Qin was reading the Cooper Clan's book and guide to thieving: The Thievius Raccoonus.
Qin: Sly, this book your family made is incredible.
Sly: Its been in my family for generations.
Qin: How long has you and your family been stealing?
Sly: I come from a long line of master thieves. All our family's secrets of sneaking and stealing were written here and its been passed down over the ages. You see the Cooper Clan specializes in stealing from criminals. After all, there's no honor, no challenge, no fun stealing from Ordinary People. You rip off a master criminal, you know you're a master thief.
Brittney: It's true. Sly and the Cooper Clan are truly honorable thieves.
Qin: Who are the members of your family?
Sly: My family name goes back to prehistoric man, 12,000 years ago.
Sly went over the members of his family.
Caveman "Bob" Cooper – The first known Cooper, Bob was a thief from Gungathal Valley, 10,000 BC. He stole pterodactyl eggs as food for his tribe. His major contribution was the invention of the tool that became the very first cane. His special ability was being able to climb on icy surfaces, but could not do common Cooper moves such as the Ninja Spire Jump or Rail Walk. He was the first Cooper alive.
Slytunkhamen Cooper I – Sly's ancestor from ancient Egypt circa 1350 BC, he was the father of Slytunkhamen II and the creator of the Thievius Raccoonus. His signature ability was to turn invisible to aid in stealing from corrupt Pharaohs and greedy noblemen. He was the first known ancestor before the Cooper Gang's escapades in the Ice Age.
Slytunkhamen Cooper II – He was Sly's ancestor from ancient Egypt circa 1300 BC and supposed creator of the Cooper Vault. He had two canes that bore a striking resemblance to the Egyptian Khopesh. He was skilled at creating the traps that were used in ancient Egyptian tombs.
Salim al-Kupar – Sly's ancestor from Arabia, 1001 AD, Salim is said to hold the stealth of forty thieves. His weapon was a sword with a curved, hooked blade sporting a scimitar-like look, but with a much thicker blade. Naturally, he wore a turban in his Cooper Vault portrait. He has perfected a move called the Cobra Climb ability and owned a magic flying carpet. He loved to eat.
Sir Galleth Cooper – Sly's ancestor from the Medieval age, 1301 AD. He was an honorable knight and cunning thief who fought with a lance featuring a hook point. In Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, it is shown that he perfected the wall hook climbing technique. He was also able to smash through barriers to get to his next point using the Catapult Crash.
Slaigh MacCooper – He was Sly's ancestor from 15th Century Scotland. The strongest of all of the Coopers, he could break any lock with a single blow using his large stone cane. He was the Cooper who created the wall-edge sneak.
Rioichi Cooper – Sly's ninja ancestor from Feudal Japan, 1603 AD. He created the Ninja Spire Jump and implemented Japanese artwork of himself in his part of the vault. His weapons were two small canes, resembling hooked sais. He used the Spire Jump to sneak into heavily fortified castles in Japan. He was also responsible for the creation of the Leaping Dragon technique, allowing him to jump far distances from a ninja spire point.
Henriette Cooper – She was a female ancestor of Sly who sailed the seas circa 1616 AD and stole from other pirates. Originally wielding a hooked dagger, she lost a hand and replaced it with a hook shaped like that of the trademark Cooper cane.
"Tennessee Kid" Cooper – He was Sly's outlaw ancestor from the western United States, 1884. He carried a six-shot revolver with a hooked handle. "Tennessee Kid" also invented the Raccoon Rail Walk and Rail Slide. He used these to his advantage, due to the fact that there were many train rails all over the land.
Thaddeus Winslow Cooper III – He was a Cooper from Victorian-era London, 1839 or 1893, who was the most "gentlemanly" thief and a master of disguise. He had a cane similar to Sly's; the only difference is a red ruby-like gem at the end of its hook.
Otto Van Cooper – He was an ancestor of Sly from Germany in World War I who was a genius mechanic and skilled fighter pilot, much like Penelope. Due to his physical ineptitude, he used his talent to pull off heists with his machines facilitating his thievery. He kept some of his technical blueprints in the Thievius Raccoonus. The propeller blades of his biplane were shaped like the trademark Cooper hook.
Conner Cooper – He was Sly's father, who used the same cane that now belongs to Sly. Before being killed by the Fiendish Five, he pulled heists with Jim McSweeney and Dr. M, and created a technique to slide along lasers. He is seen as nothing more than a silhouette throughout the series. He did not write his "laser slide" move in the Thievius Raccoonus; rather, Sly learned the move while in the Cooper Vault.
Slytunkhamen Cooper III
He appears in the opening cutscene of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, shown stealing from corrupt Pharaohs, much like his father and grandfather. His cane is very similar to Sly Cooper's cane. He was presumably born between 1300 and 1280 B.C.
Drake Cooper
He created the Dive technique. The main use of this is spinning the cane while lunging forward. This move is also available as an unlockable power-up in Sly 2: Band of Thieves, and as a purchasable power-up in Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves.
Sally Cooper
"Old" Sally Cooper was a female member of the Cooper Clan. She created a mobile move, the Raccoon Roll, which is only available for Sly in Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. Later, it was upgraded by Kelle McCooper so that it could project an electric field around the user.
Dev Cooperinda
Dev is the creator of the Slow Motion Jumps. This move is dubbed "Slow" in Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, and "Thief Reflexes" in Sly 2 and Sly 3.
Chris Cooper
He invented the coin-collecting dive technique by modifying the Knockout Dive. The move comes standard in all three sequels, however, after Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, it no longer collects coins as it makes its impact, rather relying on its brute force to daze or stun enemies.
Karin Coopergiwa
She invented the Coin Magnetism technique. The name "Karin Coopergiwa" is a reference to the name of Karin Yamagiwa, who was one of the level designers for the Sly Cooper series.
Rob McCooper
Responsible for the creation of the Mine technique. He is named after Rob McDaniel, who can be seen in the credits for Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus.
B.F. Cooper
He is Sly's hyperactive ancestor who invented the Speed up the Clock technique, an ability that not only allowed security to go faster but himself in addition. He could be described as the opposite persona of Dev Cooperinda. Bentley said that he might have used it to speed up long stakeouts.
Suzanne Cooper
She had a strong aversion to water, and to counter this, she designed and documented Water Safety, a move that allowed her to jump out of water without losing a Lucky Charm. Sly used the move to his own advantage during his battles against the Fiendish Five.
Andrew Cooper
Known as Sir Andrew Cooper, he created the thief replica, or "Decoy" technique. This allowed one to distract guards, giving the user the chance to slip past them. This trick is only used in in Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. Seeing as he was known as "Sir" Andrew Cooper, he likely lived during Medieval times, and might be directly related to Sir Galleth Cooper.
Kelle McCooper
Kelle McCooper was a male member of the Cooper Gang who discovered how to harness the electromagnetic field created by rolling, and augmented Sally Cooper's rolling technique with an electrical aura.
Bruce O'Coop
He was an expert hacker, and was known as the smartest of all Coopers. He presumably lived in the 60s or later, due to his hacking abilities.
Matthew de la Coopeur
He was French and the slowest Cooper, creating the perpetual slow motion technique. This is available in all of the Sly games, but renamed "Thief Reflexes" in Sly 2 and Sly 3. In Thieves in Time, Bentley wondered if he was influenced by the Thief Costume's ability to slow time.
Huckleberry Cooper
Taking after the famous fictional Huckleberry Finn, he was the inventor of the ability to move, albeit slowly, while invisible. The technique itself is available in all of the Sly Cooper games.
Colonel Reid Cooper
He was the inventor of the Stun move. The freeze move is in the first game and works on all guards including bosses.
Sir Augestine of Cooper
Sir Augestine of Cooper was the inventor of the ability to briefly Defy Gravity. It is an incredible power that will let Sly fall in bottomless pits without losing a horseshoe. It is even said that Augestine could levitate for days on end and not even break a sweat; while at it, he could rob anyone he chose blind, and they wouldn't even know where he went because of the lack of tracks. This move also proves helpful when accidentally falling off of large edges and cliffs.
Qin was amazed!
Qin: Whoa! That's a long ancestry.
Me: We were surprised ourselves.
Nico: Yeah. It was something.
Qin: But I noticed in some of the pictures of Sly's ancestors what looks like a big Shadowy Owl. What is that?
Brittney: Oh that is the ultimate evil enemy of the Cooper Clan: Clockwerk.
Qin: Who or what is Clockwerk?
Brittney: He's the rival of the Cooper Clan.
Brittney went over the history of Clockwerk.
Clockwerk was born a long time before the events of the Thievius Racoonus as a Eurasian Eagle-owl with red eyes and brown plumage. No information is given of his family, real name, or early life, though it is known that, at some point he learned of the great fame of the Cooper Clan and was overcome with rage, hatred and jealousy. Due to this burning hate, he knew he had to carry on in order to wipe out the Cooper family. He made a final decision and began replacing his own body with machinery. How such advanced technology was acquired back then is still a mystery, though it may be that Clockwerk was an inventor or builder of sorts. He may have been born in the Ice Age as Clockwerk was sighted there in Thieves in Time.
Clockwerk is more than a thousand years old, enough that even in some of the oldest pictures Sly has of his family, Clockwerk's shadow can be seen in the background against the sky or moon. He has been kept alive by his fierce, fiery hatred for the Cooper family, a line he made himself a rival of. Either when, before, or after Sly was born, he formed the Fiendish Five. When Sly was around the age of eight, he led them in an attack against the Cooper family, slaying Sly's father and mother. In the process, he stole the family's sacred book of thieving, the "Thievius Raccoonus", tore the pages out of the book, and gave some of the other pages to the other four members. Even though Clockwerk was aware of Sly's existence, he doesn't hurt him. The reason for this is can be found by a famous quote from Clockwerk during their confrontation over a volcano, "...I wanted to show the world that without your precious book, the Cooper line was nothing."
Sly Cooper traveled the world with Bentley and Murray once he left the orphanage, seeking to recover The Thievius Raccoonus from The Fiendish Five, which are Sir Raleigh, Muggshot, Mz. Ruby, Panda King, and of course Clockwerk himself.
Sly studied the pictures in the book as he recovered them; seeing Clockwerk's frame in each photo, he began to piece it together. However, it was Bentley who figured out where the evil owl was hiding, and they traveled to a volcano in Russia to finally face the murderer of his family. They went to the fictitious Krackarov Volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia. Clockwerk didn't directly meet Sly at first; instead he caught Carmelita and used her to lure Sly into a gas chamber, where Bentley saved him by hacking into the device, shutting it off. Sending one of his smaller Robot Falcons, nicknamed "Falcons", he stole Sly's cane in which Carmelita promptly helped the raccoon get it back. Finally, borrowing the Inspector's jet pack, Sly faced his robotic foe, who answered Sly's questions with what he thought to be the correct answers. The metal in Clockwerk's armor was too strong for the jet pack's bullets to break alone, so Carmelita shot the owl's body with her gun, which weakened the armor and allowed Sly to strike his foe down. Clockwerk falls into the lava only to fly back out, no longer with his wings but jets, which hold the massive owl aloft. Shooting more deadly missiles now, they continue to fight over the lava until finally the owl falls again. Sly lands on the Clockwerk pieces with Bentley's warning in his ears, that the owl will reconstruct himself if Sly doesn't finish him off fast. Sly slams Clockwerk's face with his cane, while Clockwerk shouts out, "Cooper! You will never be rid of me! Clockwork is superior!"
Though thought to be defeated, an end cutscene shows Clockwerk's head floating in the lava, as one red eye opens slowly then Murray screams after that have happened after the credits. He regenerated after Sly destroyed his head in the final battle.
Neyla betrayed Sly and the Klaww Gang, sealing her body and soul into Clockwerk. During the battle with Clock-La she claims that a new power is growing inside her, this is actually Clockwerk taking control of her body, during the final phase of the fight Clockwerk is in control of Clock-La and uses Neyla's hate to fuel himself.
Clock-La was destroyed by Sly, Carmelita, Bentley and Murray, but not before its beak clamped down and broke Bentley's legs. After Neyla's death, Sly and Carmelita destroy the Hate Chip, thus destroying Clockwerk and his remaining parts for good.
Qin gasped in horror!
Qin: That's horrible! Sly, I'm so sorry that all happened.
Sly: It's all right Qin. But thank you.
Bentley: Sly coming to the Orphanage we were in was really a blessing in disguise. Me, Murray and him were destined to become the next Cooper Gang.
Murray: You said it Bentley.
Penelope: I agree.
Qin: Did you guys beat all of the Fiendish 5?
Brittney: We sure did. Let me explain what they all did.
Qin: Okay.
Brittney revealed the history of Sir Raleigh the Frog.
Bored with a life of wealth and privilege among the aristocracy, Raleigh's criminal mind blossomed when he discovered a life of piracy. Raleigh quickly became addicted to crime, which got him noticed by the Fiendish Five. His genius for designing evil machinery also won this crime addict his place in the Fiendish Five.
After the attack on the Cooper home, Raleigh took off with the notes of Rioichi Cooper.
Years later, he had established himself near the fictitious Isle O'Wrath, situated in the center of his artificially created Welsh Triangle. Using his storm machine, he caused ships to crash, allowing him to loot them for treasure. Boarding the machine, which was contained in a blimp, Sly confronted Raleigh. Raleigh mocked Sly, saying that he and the rest of the Fiendish Five should have "finished the job" when he helped slaughter Sly's parents. Raleigh then swallowed special bees and bloated to gargantuan size, previously stating that he would "crush Sly like the insignificant bug that he is". Raleigh fought Sly on retracting platforms within the command centre of his blimp.
Despite his powerful attacks, Raleigh was beaten. Still conscious, Raleigh warned Sly of the dangers that awaited in Mesa City, where Muggshot resided. He began claiming that not even a snake could slither in without setting off alarms. Right on cue, Carmelita Fox arrived to arrest him and his crew, ending the legend of the Welsh Triangle.
Qin: So Sir Raleigh was wealthy like us.
Me: Yes. His mansion boat is in Lake Huron and it's the home of Minato and Kushina. But he was the weakest member of the Fiendish 5 from what we saw.
Sakura: Next we faced Muggshot.
Brittney: And he was a big bruiser.
Brittney revealed all of Muggshot's history.
Once a rather puny specimen of a canine, Muggshot would change dramatically after he watched the film the "Dogfather" (a pun on "Godfather") and became obsessed with becoming a gangster himself.
Dedicating himself to training the once "runt" Muggshot grew into a muscular monstrosity who soon lay waste to his enemies and became a powerful crime-lord complete with his own army of henchmen, guns and heavily guarded casinos. He then became a member of the Fiendish Five.
Muggshot was present, along with the other members of the Fiendish Five, at Sly Cooper's house when Clockwerk had them attack and kill the thief's parents so they could steal the pages of the Thievious Raccoonus, the tome detailing the Cooper's thieving skills. It is unknown what is exact roll was. He took a portion of the pages and hid them in vaults around the fictitious city of Mesa City, Utah, prompting Sly Cooper to track him down thirteen years later to retrieve the pages and defeat him.
Muggshot was the second member of the five to be defeated by Sly, the first being Sir Raleigh. After retrieving all of the pages held by Muggshot, Sly used several of his 'treasure keys' to gain access to his penthouse, where Muggshot lay in wait for him. The two fought, Sly using his agility and Mugghsot with his massive pistols. Cooper defeated Muggshot by using glass lamps to reflect light at him and make his pistols explode.
After the fight ended, Muggshot expressed his amazement at being bested by Cooper, but stated he would not be able to overcome the third member, Mz. Ruby. He was then captured by Inspector Carmelita Fox of Interpol as the Cooper Gang escaped Mesa City.
Qin: Wow. He must've been really tough.
Sakura: He was. But thanks to everything I learned from Lady Tsunade and everyone, I beat him with my strength.
Me: Yep. One of the most humiliating defeats is being beaten by a girl.
We laughed.
Sakura: (Laughs) That is true.
Me: And Utah is one of the states where Gambling is Illegal.
Qin: What are the other ones?
Me: Just Hawaii. It used to be Utah, Hawaii and Tennessee. But now it's down to Utah and Hawaii.
Brittney: But the one that really steamed me was the black Voodoo Magic Mystic, Mz. Ruby.
Qin: What was she like?
Brittney went over the history of Mz. Ruby.
She is a large anthropomorphic alligator named after the jewel she has embedded in her belly button - she acts as one of the game's main antagonists and is a mistress of voodoo who resides in a dark and forbidden swamp where she commands an army of ghosts and voodoo-based monsters loyal to her will.
Coming from a long line of voodoo mystics, Mz. Ruby was feared by all the other children, and delved into learning her family's magic as an escape from her loneliness. Learning how to summon the undead provided her with the only companions she had. Growing into a powerful, but deeply embittered, voodoo priestess as an adult, she turned to a life of crime to punish the world for fearing her as a child, eventually becoming the chief mystic of the Fiendish Five.
Qin: That's awful!
Brittney: Her use of the Mystic Arts for evil really infuriated me.
Laney: The saddest story was with the Panda King.
Panda King: Yes. My story was a sad one.
Brittney went over the history of the Panda King.
Panda King grew up in a small village in the Kunlun Mountains of western China. There he was astonished by the colorful fireworks displays given by noblemen every year, and yearned to become just like them. Over the years he set about perfecting his craft, until he was ready to show off his creations to the noblemen. However, they scoffed and turned him away after what they saw as a pitiful display, enraging Panda King greatly.
He again set about perfecting his craft and eventually crafted fireworks so that they could be used for military purposes. This must have been about the time he also discovered his firework "technique" called Flame-Fu. Panda King then used his new fireworks to gain his revenge on the noblemen who has shunned him before.
It wasn't long until Panda King was noticed by the Fiendish Five and taken on as their demolitions expert, gaining himself the title of "The Mad Bomber".
Panda King utilized fireworks to crush his opponents and bomb entire villages into submission - making him quite a ruthless character. In Sly Cooper and the Thievious Raccoonus, Panda King used his fireworks to bury an entire village in snow. Sly arrived to witness this and eventually came to face the villain in a pagoda atop a giant stone statue of his likeness - using, ironically, one of the fireworks to reach the top. Panda King stated he would kill Sly, but honor his Cooper ancestry by using "the beauty" of his new firework technique, "Flame-Fu".
Sly and Panda King fought, the former running to avoid the flame-throwing attacks of the latter. Sly defeated Panda King by hitting him with his hooked cane, which eventually made the panda collapse. Panda King said that he was surprised to have been defeated and was in admiration of Sly's fighting skills, fainting immediately afterwords.
Later, he was accosted by Carmelita Fox and her Interpol forces, who had been in pursuit of the Cooper Gang.
At some point between the first and third game, he escaped or was released from police-custody and returned to his daughter Jing King in China. But when a warlord named general Tsao arrived and kidnapped her, he was unable to rescue her and thus tried to become stronger through meditation. When the Cooper-gang found him they offered to save his daughter in return for him joining their gang. He reluctantly accepted.
Qin: Wow! So you redeemed yourself in the end.
Panda King: You are correct Qin.
Qin: So was Clockwerk defeated after being thrown into the volcano?
Brittney: No. Things quickly went from bad to worse when the KLAWW Gang emerged and stole his parts.
Qin: Who are the KLAWW Gang?
Neyla: They were the worst gang ever.
Brittney went over the goals and history of the KLAWW Gang.
The Klaww Gang are the primary antagonists of Sly 2: Band of Thieves. They stole the Clockwerk Parts before the game from a Museum in Cyro, Egypt, which caused the Cooper Gang to hunt them down. In order, they are Dimitri Lousteau in Paris, France, Rajan in India, The Contessa in Prague, Jean Bison in Canada, and Arpeggio and Neyla on a gigantic blimp in the sky. Dimitri has the Clockwerk Tail Feathers, which he used to illegally print fake money to become rich. He also managed a nightclub, and was a drug dealer. Rajan first had the Clockwerk Wings, which he displayed at his Ball in the hopes that they'd make him seem more like nobility. After that, he had the Clockwerk Heart, which would allow him to speed up spice production 10 fold. The Contessa had the Clockwerk Eyes, which she used to hypnotize criminals and force them to reveal where they'd hidden their fortunes, so she could become rich. She was a member of Interpol so she could get these criminals. Jean Bison desired to cut down every tree and dam every river in the world, a goal which he originally had before he was frozen originally. Basically, he was just a product of his time. And Neyla was power hungry, working for Arpeggio, but secretly plotting to betray him and steal away the immortality that he wanted.
Qin gasped in horror!
Qin: They were going to enslave the world!
Me: Yeah. And in the process, they would make Earth the most feared and most terrifying planet in the universe. It would be a planet of pure evil from the Darkness of Hell amplified 10 billion-fold.
Nico: I heard about that. That was terrifying.
Qin: Who are the members of the KLAWW Gang?
Laney: The first one we encountered was Dimitri Lousteau. He was in Monaco, France.
Brittney went over his history.
Dimitri grew up listening to stories of his grandfather, Reme Lousteau, recovering treasure from pirate ship wrecks. He learned English by listening to music videos and mimicking their speech.
His life of crime began when he was a passionate young art student. He developed his own style, dubbed "kinetic aesthetic," which consisted of him swinging back and forth from a rope tied around his waist and painting the canvas as he swung by. It was rejected outright by closed-minded critics and Dimitri was cast out of the art community. Angry with such, he began forging old masterpieces; his idea of punishing those with bad taste. At some point, Dimitri came into ownership of a nightclub located on the west-side of Paris, drawing in "young, chic patrons from far and wide," called the Parisian Nigthclub.
Later he and the Klaww gang robbed the Cairo Museum of Natural history where he was given Clockwerk's tail feathers. Turning the tail feathers into printing plates, he was able to counterfeit untold amounts of money. In coordination with fellow gang member Rajan, he funneled spice into his nightclub that may have been a front for his printing operation in the basement of the club.
Dimitri soon learned that Sly Cooper and his team had arrived in Paris looking to steal Clockwerk's tail feathers. After several acts of sabotage by the Cooper Gang, Dimitri ordered his guards to shoot them on sight. Dimitri's efforts to get rid of the Cooper Gang were proven to be unsuccessful when Sly confronted him in his printing press room. Dimitri tried to get Sly to leave him alone by bribing him, but Sly, befuddled by Dimitri's strange English, refused the bribe and insulted his suit. Enraged, Dimitri challenged Sly to a fight but was defeated when Sly knocked him into the printing press machine. Incapacitated, Dimitri could only watch as Sly took Clockwerk's tail feathers.
Qin: Wow. I'm sorry that happened to him.
Nico: He redeemed himself when Laney got through to him.
Brittney: Yep.
Qin: I'm glad.
Brittney: Next was the Spice Lord, Rajan. He was in India.
Brittney revealed the history of Rajan.
Rajan grew up poor on the streets of Calcutta. He started his life of crime by selling illegal spices on the black market. As he got older, his business expanded and he eventually earned a seat in the prestigious Klaww Gang.
The Cooper Gang targeted Rajan after Bentley learned that he was in possession of the Clockwerk Wings. They broke into his party at his newly purchased Ancestral Palace in India. Soon after Sly arrived at the ballroom's balcony, he took recon pictures of Rajan and the Clockwerk Wings, along with some pictures of the Klaww Gang and the police. As Sly headed back to the hideout, Bentley presented their first operation on the heist is to use the cops to their advantage and to deal with the chopper patrolling the palace as Bentley said it was a menace to future air assaults.
Since Bentley and Murray could not get to the palace because the entrance was closed, Sly was to pickpocket five guards at separate posts for their keys to gain access to the winch to open the drawbridge.
As Bentley planned to use the cops to their advantage on the heist, he sent Sly over to the palace's doors. As Sly knocked on the door, however, the bouncer denied to let Sly in as he told him about the dress code. In order to get a tuxedo, Sly broke into the guest's house and found a separate piece of clothing as he raided every bedroom. Sly then returned to the palace doors and gained entry to the party. As Sly arrived at the party wearing a tuxedo, Bentley advised him to dance with Carmelita while on the heist to keep everyone distracted, but told him to impress her first. Sly encountered Neyla at the party and offered her a dance. After the two danced, Carmelita went up to Sly and accepted his offer to dance with her.
Once Murray passed through the entrance, he made his way towards a pre war turret and used it to take out the chopper after having an aerial attack with it.
The Cooper Gang regrouped at their hideout as Bentley now planned their heist to steal the Clockwerk wings that involves an electronic winch and a saw blade.
In order to create the saw blade, Sly headed over to the elephant's pen to collect their gemstones off their head dresses. Once Sly entered beneath the pen, however, he scared some mice that ran to where the elephants are, scaring them and driving them outside. As Sly rushed outside, he found the elephants rampaging around the palace. Sly managed to collect their gemstones as jumped on top their backs and whacked them off with his cane.
Sly broke into the vault room where he searched underneath tables to find the combination to the vault. Once Sly found it, he typed it down on a number pad, opening the doors and allowing Murray and Bentley in the boardroom. Bentley planned to hack into the palace's computers to gain access to the ballroom's electronic winch. While doing that, Sly and Murray defended him as the guards appeared and attacked them. After gaining access, Bentley left the boardroom with Murray.
The Cooper Gang was ready to pull their heist operation: Hippo-Drop. Bentley planted explosives upon the bridge leading to the guest room as a way to lure the guards watching the wings away. Sly then distracted Carmelita and the party guests while Murray lowered himself down on an electronic winch above the ballroom to quickly detach the Clockwerk Wings and escape. As soon as Murray escaped, Sly ditched Carmelita. As Murray left the party, Bentley defended him with his RC Chopper, after which, they fled back to their hideout.
When Carmelita realized she was tricked by Sly, she revealed herself to the public and began making arrests left and right. With the wings stolen and his reputation ruined, Rajan went into hiding, deep in the Indian jungle. Although the gang was victorious, Sly knew that Rajan was still out there and that it wasn't over just yet.
After a small break, the gang headed back to the now closed temple and found out that Rajan had gone into hiding deep in an old abandoned temple, reconstructing it into a spice production facility. Sly entered the temple and took some recon photos of Rajan and the Clockwerk Heart. One half of the Clockwerk Heart was being used to increase Spice Production and the other was used by Rajan as a weapon on his staff.
Rajan had an satelite array driven by an elephant. Bentley planned to get rid of it as he sent Sly to feed the elephant spices to make it run away in rage.
Sly picked up a water bug to carry to Rajan's office for Bentley to monitor from its radio frequency. In order to keep it from getting angry and from alerting the guards, Sly placed the water bug in little pools to calm it down. Once Sly made to Rajan's office, he placed the water bug in a pool after getting past laser security.
As Rajan kept his operation blueprints on his person, the gang needed a safe way of getting close to steal them, but Rajan was impervious to Bentley's sleep darts so Bentley had to find another way of putting him to sleep. He discovered that Rajan had an insatiable appetite for Indian watermelons which, if eaten whole, would put even Rajan into a deep sleep. By leading Rajan to three different watermelons, Bentley was able to steal all three blueprints but the violation of his personal space spooked Rajan and forced him into hiding in his temple.
To get Rajan out of hiding, the gang decided to flood him out by destroying the dam behind the temple. Bentley planned to destroy it with an auto piloted helicopter, but did little damage as the helicopter was stuck by a piece of the dam, causing it to crash.
Sly entered the spice grinding facility to destroy the spice grinder. He managed to get past laser fences by destroying them with a tnt barrol he walked over in. Once Sly reached the spice grinder, Bentley informed him that destroying the grinder will put Rajan out of business and give him no reason to stay. As soon as Sly destroyed the grinder with a tnt barrel, Rajan's voice was heard through a speaker, shocked to see spice production stopped.
As Sly went after the Clockwerk Heart producing spice, he ran into Neyla who led Sly to the entrance of it. To gain control of the crane holding the heart, Sly pickpocketed two guards with keys. Once Sly used the keys on the controls, the crane dropped the Clockwerk Heart. Sly then walked over to the heart and took it.
Bentley made a contract to acquire a cherry bomb 500 for the heist in exchange for a giant ruby. Sly acquired a ruby from the roof of a temple. Bentley and Murray soon appeared and took the ruby to their contractors who gave them the ruby, in honor of their bargain.
The Cooper Gang planned their final operation: Wet Tiger. To start the operation, Murray lifted a lever to open the elephant statue's mouth revealing a door filled with water, while Bentley covered him in the helicopter as he destroyed hunter seeker bombs. Once Murray finally lifted the lever, Sly hid inside a tnt barrel and walked it to the elephant's mouth, causing it to explode and flood the temple with water. When this was successful, a mad Rajan finally showed his face and yelled at the Cooper Gang to face him.
Neyla reappeared right after, seemingly wanting to help the gang in their battle against Rajan. However, she betrayed them, knocked Sly out and watched as Murray and Rajan were pitted against each other. Even with the help of his guards and his upgraded staff, Rajan was defeated and passed out, leaving Murray to claim the Clockwerk heart, but leaving him very tired and no match for the incoming police. Neyla quickly turned the Contessa against Carmelita and got Rajan, Sly, Murray and Carmelita arrested, as Bentley watched helplessly from a distance.
As was revealed in the games ending credits, after his incarceration, Rajan reformed and became an owner of a rug dealership franchise in North America.
Qin Gasped.
Qin: That's horrible!
Neyla: I know. I was a member of the KLAWW Gang myself. But thanks to Brittney and everyone, I was redeemed and saved from myself.
Brittney went over Neyla's history.
Neyla was born into poverty on the streets of New Delhi in India, and the deprived life she had there propelled her to aim high. She attended a university in Britain, where she set up an elaborate ring of students to complete her homework for her. When the ring was broken, Interpol were so impressed at her ability to foment criminal schemes that they offered her a job, as she could access the mind of the lawbreaker, which would be an invaluable asset in this capacity.
Constable Neyla was the assistant of Inspector Carmelita Fox. She was partnered with the Inspector following the events of the Thievius Raccoonus affair, and was present during a Cooper Gang-engineered break-in at the Museum of Natural History in Cairo. During a situation in which Sly looked complicit in the absence of the Clockwerk Parts, she seemingly bought time for Sly by mentioning the KLAWW Gang's possible involvement. It was not only a distraction but a lead to encourage Sly into chasing them down to retrieve all the Clockwerk Parts for her. Neyla's distraction worked, as Carmelita was unable to stop Sly from fleeing.
Later, Neyla met up with Sly in Paris and offered a key to Sly for the back door of Dimitri's nightclub. Seemingly now an ally of the Cooper Gang, she continued to offer help and support to them.
In India she was, along with Carmelita, the Contessa and many other Interpol agents, present at KLAWW Gang member Rajan's palace undercover. She clandestinely met up with Sly and danced with him. Carmelita interjected, requesting a dance from Sly. Fox was unaware of his true identity due to an elaborate disguise employed by the thief, and Neyla stood back at this point, taking an incriminating picture of the two together. At Rajan's spice factory in the same country, Neyla once more offered her services to Sly, but machinated events to land Carmelita, Sly, Murray and Rajan in the custody of Interpol. Murray did not yet understand why she didn't help when Sly was hurt. She was commended by the Contessa, who took charge of the arrested captives.
Neyla was subsequently ordered to arrest the Contessa in Prague, and was afforded a team of mercenaries equipped with planes, tanks and other weaponry to do this. She succeeded in arresting the Contessa, and was promoted to Captain.
She later tailed the Cooper Gang to Nunavut Bay in Canada, where she flew a special aircraft against the Cooper Gang during a daring train robbery. She was defeated by Bentley's RC chopper, but stayed in Canada to command a police unit to track down the escaped Interpol captives- including Carmelita.
It was revealed aboard the blimp of Arpeggio, KLAWW Gang engineer, that Neyla was in fact an employee of Arpeggio, and that she had assisted the KLAWW Gang during the entire affair. After Sly failed to pull Clockwerk apart, Neyla soon betrayed Arpeggio, killing him, and commandeered the Clockwerk Frame, which Arpeggio had reconstructed.
While making their way to Paris, Neyla had to keep up her strength by draining power from the blimp's engines. The Cooper Gang planned to destroy the engines to weaken Neyla to a state in which they can attack. Once done, Inspector Fox soon contacted Bentley and offered her services to help the Cooper Gang fight Neyla in her new form, but had trouble locating the blimp. Sly flew to the top of four radio towers, boosting their energy to give alert to Carmelita. Once she arrived in her helicopter, Sly hopped on and used its turret to take down Neyla. However, Neyla suddenly crashed into the blimp, causing it to explode. She then noticed Bentley and Murray inside the Northern Light battery and snatched them in it to lure Sly. Once Sly made his way to Neyla after soaring the blimp's debris, he attacked her in the face, causing her to crash into the streets of Paris. Before the Cooper Gang could celebrate their victory, however, Neyla was still active as she summoned a laser barrier around them. As the Cooper Gang took cover, Bentley recalled Neyla mentioning a hate chip as her source of power. This encouraged Murray to make his way to Clockwerk's head where the hate chip is and opened its mouth to reveal Neyla, now as a holographic head, vowing to have revenge on the Cooper Gang and destroy them. Bentley then approached Clockwerk's head and placed bombs by its sides to take out the laser field. Before disappearing, Neyla threatened the Cooper Gang that they will not defeat her ever. The hate chip was soon revealed, and Bentley grabbed it, but was then crippled as Clockwerk's head fell on top of him. Luckily, Murray saved him. Neyla was soon killed as Carmelita showed up and destroyed the hate chip, causing the Clockwerk parts to slowly disappear along with Neyla.
Qin gasped.
Neyla: I know. It was my dark self that was the source of it all.
Qin: I'm glad that she's dead and gone for good.
Me: Me too Qin.
Qin: Who was the 3rd member?
Lucy Loud: That would be The Contessa.
Brittney: Leni would hate her.
Brittney revealed the history of The Contessa.
When she was younger, the Contessa once married a wealthy aristocrat who "mysteriously" died of poisoning after the wedding. After gaining her fortune, the widowed Contessa used her psychology and psychiatry skills she learned in school to become Interpol's top interrogator. She would use her hypnosis techniques to reform criminals to a better life, but only after she makes them tell her where they keep their loots so she can have them for herself.
The Contessa first appeared in Episode 2 at Rajan's ball, accompanying Carmelita Fox and Constable Neyla undercover. She later appeared with them at Rajan's spice temple, where she placed Sly, Murray, and Carmelita under arrest (after Neyla betrayed all three of them). Following her to Prague, Bentley bugged her with his sleep darts, which he had discovered would transmit the sound of her voice after making contact, resulting in her unwittingly revealing Sly's location in her prison. Later on, Murray is held hostage by the Contessa who is working on controlling Murray's mind with her hypnosis. He discovered her to be a secret member of the Klaww Gang, hypnotizing criminals to learn the location of their loot. She was also using illegal spice to help with the hypnosis and contributed hypnosis light wave generators to Arpeggio's blimp.
After failing to hypnotize Murray, the Contessa fled from her clinic and escaped to her castle estate, where she held possession of the Clockwerk Eyes and had Carmelita bound to an Iron Tech 250 in her re-education tower, where she tortured her and attempted to brainwash her with the Eyes and make her take the fall for her at Interpol.
Whilst the gang headed there to get the Eyes back, a war broke out between the Contessa and Constable Neyla, in which both had their own respective armies at their disposal. The Contessa's immediate plan, and one Sly and his friends would not allow, was to brainwash Carmelita with a Mind Shuffler into becoming her personal slave, so that she would take the fall at Interpol. However, Sly, Bentley, and Murray stopped her plans and Sly defeated her in combat.
Apparently, the Contessa knew all about Sly's family line, and even taunted him into fighting. Even after losing once and playing the innocent routine, she still declared herself mentally superior to Sly's gang. However, after fighting and defeating her for a second time, it is clear that Sly, Murray, and Bentley are a much tougher match. The Contessa is then arrested and stripped of her title.
She is mentioned by Arpeggio later on in the game when he reveals his master plan to Sly, speaking of her skills in hypnosis aiding the plan to hypnotize Paris. During the credits of Sly 2, it is said that after her incarceration, the Contessa became a highly successful real estate broker, with her clients displaying eerie hypnosis-like symptoms. Nonetheless, it is not known if this is actually true, seeing as how Dimitri was revealed to be a criminal even though he was stated to have become a dance teacher. In the second Sly Cooper comic, she is shown as serving time in Heathrow Prison, with her cell underneath Muggshot's. The time stamps for these events are not given. The slide could be years in the future the jail being the present.
Qin gasped.
Qin: Another good cop gone bad.
Brittney: We blew up her rehabilitation prison and her nice estate is now the house of The Goths of Darkness.
Qin: I saw that. That house is amazing!
Lucy Loud: It's an amazing and perfect house for us.
Olga: Yep.
Lana: But we then faced Jean Bison.
Brittney went over Jean Bison's history.
Jean Bison first appeared in Episode 2: "A Starry-Eyed Encounter", along with the first appearances of the Contessa and Arpeggio, at a ball Rajan was hosting. It is safe to assume he was a VIP at the event. He later appeared beside Rajan as they watch Sly dance with Neyla, commenting that he wished Rajan's spice shipments moved as well as Sly.
Despite his backwards, low-tech ways and old-style thinking, Jean Bison ended up with four of the Clockwerk Parts: the Lungs, Stomach, and Talons. When Sly first encountered him in a log cabin to take pictures of the train routes, he overhead him talking to Arpeggio through a speaker, Sly learned that Jean Bison attached the Lungs and Stomach to his three Iron Horse trains, allowing them to run day and night without stopping. Sly also learned that he hid the blueprints of them in his trophy bass, which Sly managed to steal one in the cabin Bison was in. Sly then went over to another cabin where the second blueprint was being guarded by ducks. Sly acquired the blueprint from the trophy bass there and then went after the third blueprint in a cabin guarded by mooses. As Sly managed to acquire all the blueprints, he went to the top of mountain where a satelite dish is to intercept with Iron Horses GPS data.
The only way into the Iron Horse trains was through the caboose which were locked tight. In order to open them, Sly had to collect spices from several balloons in the sky to use as explosives as Murray flew him in an ice plane. After finishing collecting spices, Sly then had to land directly on the train's cabooses in order to open them. After that, however, Murray was captured by Inspector Fox. Sly was to follow Inspector Fox to pickpocket her for her three keys to Murray's cell.
Bentley entered the first Iron Horse train and made his way to the front of the train where one of the lungs is. Bentley stole the part and got off the train.
On the second Iron Horse train, Bentley used his RC chopper to destroy the train's defense system.
Murray snatched two bear cubs in order to lure a bear and destroy and cage protecting a hand rail. As he brought the two bears to over the hand rail's cage, the begin to fight which the mother bear noticed and destroyed the cage to stop the cobs from fighting.
Sly made his way inside Iron Horse 2. He made his way to the front of the train and stole the other lung there.
Iron Horse 3 was going too fast for the Cooper Gang to follow in town, so they drive in the hand cart from earlier and after the train. As Sly made halfway through the train, Neyla appeared in her biplane, preventing Sly from moving forward. Luckily, Bentley unleashed his RC chopper upon Neyla and defeated her with it. Once Sly made it to the front of the train, he found the Clockwerk stomach to be bolted down by Jean Bison. Neyla reappeared in her biplane, but was defeated again by Bentley's RC chopper. Bentley then crashed his RC chopper into the train's smoke stack, freeing the Clockwerk Stomach.
After losing three of his Clockwerk parts, Jean Bison escaped to his large lumber camp on the coast of Northern Canada and continued his true operation—using his giant attractor to collect the light energy of the Aurora Borealis into his Northern Light Battery for Arpeggio's blimp. While Sly heard him talking to himself, he also began preparations for his Lumberjack Games, a competition for which he put up his Clockwerk Talons - that he'd been using to cut down trees - as a trophy to bring in the competition. This drew Sly and the Cooper Gang like moths to a flame. After setting up the northern lights battery for their transport to Arpeggio's blimp, they entered the games.
However, during the games, Jean Bison persuaded the judges to give him tens, making the Cooper Gang knock them out and dressed up like them. Despite stellar performances and cheating to make Jean Bison lose, the three were captured as Jean saw threw their disguises and threw the talons at them. While the Cooper Gang was in his custody, Bison had his men raid the gang's hideout and steal all of the Clockwerk Parts that the gang had collected and sold them to Arpeggio (including the talons). He then revealed this to Bentley after he escaped and called him stupid for being a turtle. Bentley was then forced into a battle with Bison and, using the lumber camp's equipment, Bentley was able to beat him. As he laid there in defeat, he claimed how times have changed after losing. Just then, a man on the speaker told Bison that Arpeggio is coming to pick up the Northern Light battery.
According to the ending of Sly 2, although he was not arrested, Jean Bison somehow turned over a new leaf and went to work for the EPA, and froze yet again on a mission to save baby penguins.
Qin: That's awful. I feel sorry for him.
Sly: I feel the same way too.
Jean Bison: I appreciate your concern Qin. Thank you.
Qin: You're welcome.
Brittney: But then we faced Arpeggio. He was the leader and mastermind of it all.
Brittney revealed the history of Arpeggio.
Arpeggio attended a prestigious boarding school, so his background life and information on his parents are a mystery. He was at the top of his class intellectually, excelling in all subjects, but due to his tiny body and wings, he was unable to fly, and fell behind the other kids physically. Furious at his feeble body, he focused his powerful mind to find a cure. His studies led him to the works of the Italian Renaissance Masters, whose notes and machinery designs served as a spring board for the sinister young genius. Eventually, Arpeggio constructed a large blimp, which served as his home and base of operations. He also had an army of toucan individuals equipped with his weapon designs act as his security forces and servants. Arpeggio's blimp fortress managed to act as a slight substitute for him to be able to be in the air. His small size was also compensated for when he used a mechanical birdcage on wheels to travel. Still, the evil mastermind wanted a way to make up for his feeble body.
At some point, Arpeggio became fixated on the infamous owl, Clockwerk. The ancient bird had kept himself alive for thousands of years with a new, robotic body, and immense feelings of jealousy, anger and hate. After being defeated by Sly Cooper and his allies, Clockwerk was reduced to a pile of immobile parts put on museum display. Arpeggio was determined to use this mechanical frame to give himself a new body. However, his purpose was no longer merely to be able to fly, but to become immortal, through Clockwerk's mastery of hatred. At some other point, Arpeggio met the young Neyla, who had an impressive ability of persuasion and manipulation of others. She was said to be his protégé, though the extent of their relationship is unknown. She agreed to serve as his lieutenant in his endeavors to gain power through Clockwerk. Despite her seemingly unwavering loyalty, Arpeggio was unaware that Neyla was truly only concerned with her personal interests. Their affiliation to each other was kept a dark secret to all but themselves.
At some point, a criminal organization, the Klaww Gang, was assembled, with Arpeggio as chief inventor and leader. His brilliance made him the mastermind behind their illegal spice trading ring, which would be the starting point of his ultimate goal. Arpeggio knew that bringing together the Clockwerk parts would not be as difficult as creating a large amount of hatred. The Clockwerk Frame needed hatred in order to be fueled to immortality. Arpeggio concluded that spice consumption made one mad, and they could then be hypnotized into a state of hatred. The negative energies would bring forth Clockwerk's immortality, which Arpeggio desired more than anything. Each individual member of the gang contributed a significant factor for Arpeggio's plot. Dimitri was the owner of a night club in Paris, which he used to widely distribute spices. The spices were grown by Rajan in India. The Contessa used her hypnotist expertise to be used on Arpeggio's blimp, which would transmit flashing lights to hypnotize those that consumed the spices. Jean Bison managed to collect the energies of the Northern Lights to use as waves in this mesmerizing process. Ultimately, Arpeggio would use his blimp to create a hypnotic light show to hypnotize the citizens of Paris into extreme hatred.
Despite their contributions, the Klaww Gang was unaware of Arpeggio's intent to become immortal. After he had been defeated by Sly Cooper and his allies, Clockwerk was reduced to a pile of immobile components put on display in a Cairo museum. Arpeggio and his gang orchestrated a break in of the museum and stole the parts. Each member was given some of Clockwerk's pieces, which they used in their own trivial schemes. Arpeggio held onto the Clockwerk Brain. He then prepared for the next portion of his plan alongside Neyla, whom the rest of the Klaww Gang saw as a mere police officer; she had gone undercover within Interpol as a constable and partner to Carmelita Fox. Behind-the-scenes, Arpeggio and Neyla devised a way to get the other parts back from the rest of the gang. Sly Cooper and his close friends, Bentley and Murray, broke into the same museum in hopes of stealing and destroying their old foe's pieces. They were confronted by Inspector Fox and Constable Neyla. Carmelita revealed that the parts had already been stolen, believing Sly had the motive, and Neyla pointed out that the crime scene made it look more like a Klaww Gang operation. Sly was interested in the gang name, it being his only lead on finding Clockwerk's parts, and escaped.
With Sly on the scent, Arpeggio waited while he defeated the other members and collected to parts for him. All the while, Neyla assisted Sly and his gang, though she truly just wanted to go after the parts herself. Arpeggio was first seen by the Cooper Gang while attending a ball at Rajan's palace along with the rest of the Klaww Gang. He was taken in a recon photo, and Bentley described him as a specialist in exotic technology. Neyla later revealed her true colors to the Cooper Gang, and was allowed to toss them in jail by Arpeggio, overjoyed to finally be able to pursue to parts alone. She then betrayed Interpol, even after being promoted to Captain Neyla due to her actions in apprehending the Contessa. Sly and his gang made it out of prison and continued gathering parts. In Jean Bison's camp, Sly overheard a telephone conversation between Bison and Arpeggio, the latter being heard on speaker. Bison was trying to convince his friend to sell him the Clockwerk Brain, but Arpeggio pointed out that Bison already had more parts than anyone else. Later, in Bison's second base, he discovered the Cooper Gang and took them prisoner. His men raided their hideout and stole all of their accumulated Clockwerk parts.
Jean Bison sold every part to Arpeggio and had them transported to his blimp, which was en route to pick up the large battery containing the Northern Lights. Sly and his allies escaped imprisonment, defeated Bison, and went to stow away on Arpeggio's blimp. They were lifted into the air when the blimp picked up the battery, Arpeggio unaware that the gang had emptied it of its electric charge to stuff themselves inside. They devised a plan to get inside Arpeggio's Blimp HQ and stop Clockwerk from being reassembled. Time was short, however. The blimp was on its way to Paris, where Arpeggio's plans would come together, though the Cooper Gang was unaware of this. Inside the Blimp HQ, Sly took recon photos, and found that Clockwerk's body had already been put back together. A pair of spinning magnetic inducers circling the Blimp HQ's walls were holding the parts together. At the front of the HQ, Sly discovered that Arpeggio and Neyla were aboard, waiting to power up the Clockwerk Frame. Bentley told him to reverse the polarity of the magnetic inducers, hoping that the result would pull Clockwerk apart. This, however, had the opposite effect. The parts fell from their wires holding them up to the ceiling, but locked together instead of breaking.
Arpeggio and Neyla were alerted by the shocking boom, which also destroyed the equipment and desk in Arpeggio's office. They came out to see what had happened, and Arpeggio was greatly pleased to discover that Clockwerk was locked together. He and Neyla went down to the lower platform, where Clockwerk's body lay in wait. Sly revealed himself, much to Neyla's dismay. However, rather than being angered with Sly's appearance, Arpeggio was grateful for his inadvertent contribution to his plans. He explained how everything had played out to his and Neyla's exact specifications, and how he was getting ready to fuse with Clockwerk to become a new, immortal being as the Paris light show caused immense hatred among the city's population. Sly described Arpeggio's forced hatred on the Paris citizens as "outlandishly cruel," but Arpeggio was unconcerned with all but his success and eternal life. He then told Neyla to keep Sly covered as he approached Clockwerk, but at that instant, she betrayed him. Using her whip, Neyla knocked over Arpeggio's birdcage, leaving him helpless on the floor. She then leaped in front of him, and knelt down to her former master, taunting him. Neyla had been manipulating Arpeggio all along to get Clockwerk for herself.
Neyla called Arpeggio stupid for not believing she would double-cross him just as she did everyone else. She then turned to Clockwerk and jumped inside his open mouth. The body then slowly rose, its eyes glowing. Arpeggio was distraught at Neyla's betrayal, saying that she was his protégé, not the next candidate for his immortality. He demanded that she exit the Clockwerk Frame, trying to conjure some threat. Before he could finish speaking, Arpeggio was grabbed by and crushed in Clock-La's beak, killing him. His feathers scattered, his wheel-cage was shattered, and his monocle rolled to a stop at Sly's feet. Neyla then proclaimed herself to be "Clock-La," and flew through the Blimp HQ's front window. However, the maniacal monstrosity was defeated by the Cooper Gang, and Arpeggio's plans never came to fruition.
Qin gasped in horror.
Qin: That's horrifying!
Arpeggio: (British Accent) It was. I don't know what I was thinking. But I let powerlust take hold of me.
Qin: But I'm glad Brittney and everyone helped you redeem yourself. But how did Clockwerk die?
Me: That was the confusing part. Clockwerk lived for 12,000 years because of his extremely intense burning hatred and jealousy towards the Cooper Clan. The reason for this is because of his power source: The Hate Chip.
Brittney: It was his energy source. It was the power from that chip that kept him going for 12 millennia. Fueling him with indescribable levels of hatred and jealousy. I crushed that chip with my bare hands and destroyed it. I also got a massive mega power boost as a result. The parts aged and deteriorated in front of our eyes. 12,000 years have caught up to him fast and disintegrated him into dust.
Me: And now he's fried chicken in the darkness and fire of Hell.
Qin: Good riddance.
Me: We all teamed up and took him down. We ended the Terror of Clockwerk after he caused 12,000 years worth of pain and death.
Nico: Clockwerk, you have failed this world for 12,000 years.
We laughed.
Rice: That was funny.
Natasha: (Polish Accent) I'm glad he got what he deserved,
Hunter: (German Accent) Ja. Clockwerk was a monster from the pit of evil.
Rachel S.D.: I'm glad he got what he deserved.
Vince: Me too.
Qin: Oh yeah. Carmen, I heard you and Maria know the Get Help strategy?
Maria groaned.
Maria: (Groans in humiliation)
Carmen: As a matter of fact we do. It was an idea we got from Thor.
Maria: It's so humiliating.
Me: It may be humiliating but it works sometimes.
Maria: Easy for you to say.
Then the alarm went off.
Me: Uh oh.
We went to the computer and we found out that DNAmy was up to no good.
Kim P.: DNAmy? I thought she stopped her ways.
Me: You dealt with her before Kim?
Kim P.: I sure did.
Kim told us her history.
Amy is possibly the most dedicated "cuddler" (or Cuddle Buddy collector) in the world. After collecting every cuddle buddy ever made, she still wasn't satisfied so she began splicing the DNA of real animals to reflect the chimeric nature of the stuffed toys. Amy Hall, known as DNAmy by her former colleagues, is a disgraced geneticist who was shunned by the scientific community for her unorthodox and unethical splicing experiments.
She was first encountered in the Season 1 episode "Downhill" by Ron and Mr. Barkin when they stumbled across her while searching for the Mount Middleton monster, which turned out to be one of her creations. DNAmy took Ron and Mr. Barkin prisoner after their presence near to her lair which threatened to expose experiments to the authorities. She successfully melded Mr. Barkin with Rufus to create a naked-molerat-man creature, before being defeated by Kim Possible. She was then briefly referenced, though not explicitly named, in the episode "Monkey Fist Strikes", as the scientist who genetically altered the villain Montgomery Fisk, so that he could become Lord Monkey Fist. (Based on production order, this occurred prior to "Downhill").
DNAmy went underground for the rest of Season 1, reappearing in the Season 2 episode "Partners", in which she co-stared alongside Dr. Drakken, who sweet talked her into creating a giant reptilian hybrid creature with which to destroy Middleton as a prelude to taking over the world. DNAmy's second cameo at the end of the episode "Oh Boyz", in which she briefly appeared in the audience during a prison concert given by Señor Senior Junior.
DNAmy's next appearance, originally scheduled to be her last, was 2 episodes prior to the Season 3 finale when she kidnapped the Sensei of the Yamaguchi Ninja School in Japan in order to attract the attention of fellow villain Monkey Fist with whom she was infatuated. For much of the episode, she used the alias "Gorilla Fist", her true identity was not revealed until the closing scenes of the episode.
Her first appearance of Season 4 was in "Grande Size Me" (minus her bio-engineered "Gorilla suit"), amongst a bunch of other villains at Jack Hench's attempt to sell off his latest invention. She later appeared in "Homecoming Upset", where she made a surprise cameo in the crowd during homecoming game. Her last appearance was in "Graduation" were appeared at Drakken's award ceremony, clearly not happy for his success. She also appears during the credits with Adrena Lynn admiring the statute form of Monkey Fist.
Me: Just what the universe needs. Another fucked up mad scientist running amok.
Kim P.: Thankfully she's not like the Paradigm Brothers.
Maria: Well, DNAmy doesn't seem the type of evil scientist to experiment on humans. At least, not on the same level as the Paradigm brothers anyway.
Kim: Well, there's still the matter of her other crimes.
Me: Then we won't have to kill her. But still she has to pay for her crimes.
Nico: We'll put her in prison with Monkey Fist.
Lincoln: It says here that she has a mad crush on Monkey Fist.
Me: (Shudders) I know that feeling. But it says here that she is hiding in a mountain in Idaho. Lets get her!
We were off to the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho.
SAWTOOTH MOUNTAINS, IDAHO
We were flying over the Sawtooth Mountains in South Central Western Idaho. It was a beautiful place.
Me: Wow. The Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho. One of the Rocky Mountains most beautiful mountain ranges.
Lynn: They sure are beautiful.
Sakura Avalon: They sure are pretty. I wouldn't mind coming here for vacation.
Madison: Me neither.
Nico: Same here.
Me: Idaho has a lot of history here. Idaho is known for it's potatoes and they don't call it the Spud State for nothing.
Lana: Oh yeah! Also these mountains were home to the Sawtooth Wolf Pack.
Me: I saw those wolves and they were beautiful.
Laney: They sure were.
Me: Wolves are my favorite creatures on Earth and they are so beautiful.
Isabel: They are a majestic symbol of leadership, compassion and energy.
Me: Yep. And they are yours and my spirit animal.
Isabel: Yep.
I sensed out for DNAmy's signature and we saw a house in the middle of the mountains.
Me: Target sighted.
We flew down and we saw DNAmy!
DNAmy: Team Loud Phoenix Storm. Welcome.
Me: DNAmy, I presume?
DNAmy: That's right. Hello Kim. It's a pleasure to see you again.
Kim P.: I take it you know what we are here for.
DNAmy: I do. You want to throw me in prison.
Nico: That's right.
Then numerous Mutated Animals appeared.
Me: Wow! Look at all of them!
William: You know, I'm surprised you don't mutate humans like the Paradigm brothers do.
DNAmy: Oh, come now. I have done human testing. But I always made sure that the test subjects would retain their humanity. And besides, using mutated animals is much more simple!
Spiderman: At least you've got standards. But we're still locking you up!
Me: You got that right.
DNAmy: You're more then welcome to take me to prison.
Sydney: Good!
DNAmy: If you can defeat 1000 of my minions!
Eddy: (the mutated animals charge at us) Oh, fuck me!
Me: Wow! You sure have been busy.
Sakura Avalon: Look at all of them!
Nico: At least you respect human life DNAmy. Dr. Paradigm and his brothers don't give a flying shit about it.
Carol: No they don't.
Stacy: Yeah. They robbed us of our humanity and destroyed many lives.
DNAmy: That's awful he did that. I may be a genetic scientist but even I have standards.
Me: That's true. Lets get them!
We went at the monsters and faced them with sheer ferociousness.
Sakura called upon the power of the Sword Card and slashed a bunch of monsters all over the place.
Nico blasted them and blew them apart.
Laney fired numerous poisonous barbs at a bunch of them and the monsters melted from the poison.
Naruto slammed a Rasenshuriken into one and obliterated a bunch of them all at once.
Sakura punched the ground and it sent a bunch of the monsters flying into the air and I flew up and slashed a lot of them with the power of the Sword Card.
I fired a massive blast of fire and incinerated them.
Me: Time to finish them with teamwork!
Rhinox: You got it. Rhinox, MAXIMIZE!
Rhinox transformed into his robot for.
Rhinox: Lets get serious! CYBER KEY POWER!
The Animatron Cyber Planet Key went into his right arm and enhanced his weapons power 100-fold.
Humongousaur: Lets do this! ANIMATRON CYBER KEY POWER!
The Animatron Cyber Planet Key went into his right arm device and it enhanced his strength and turned his hands into powerful bazooka blasters.
Rhinox and Humungousaur: STAMPEDING ARSENAL BURST!
Rhinox and Humongousaur fired machine gun blasts and missiles and they hit the monsters and exploded!
KRABBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!
Volcana: Time for some serious burning firepower! GIGANTION CYBER KEY POWER!
The Gigantion Cyber Planet Key went into her right arm device and it enhanced her fire powers 100-fold.
Inferno (BW): Time to show the Boss our power. Inferno, TERRORIZE!
Inferno transformed.
Inferno (BW): Time to defend the royalty! CYBER KEY POWER!
The Animatron Cyber Planet Key went into his arm and it enhanced his weapons 100-fold.
Volcana and Inferno (BW): INFERNO FIRESTORM INCINERATION!
Volcana and Inferno fired a massive blast of fire and incinerated a bunch of monsters in one fell swoop.
We kept on blasting monsters. Then I sensed a Clow Card.
Me: A Clow Card is here.
Sakura Avalon: I feel it.
Then a little puff of Cloud appeared and out came what looked like a Jester. It was drenching a bunch of monsters with massive torrents of rain and killing them with water.
Me: It's the Rain Card! 雨
Rain's physical form resembles a young and cute little girl with a jesters hat that falls into two long points, tipped in teardrop shapes like rain drops. She has long straight bangs parted on either side of her face, like the Cloud, and hers end in rain drops. Her collar is cut in many points, like the Twin, and tipped in droplet shapes. Her outfit consists of poofy pants in a harlequin pattern, a poofy sleeved top, and pointed boots, the cuffs of which are also tipped in raindrops. In Card form, like the Cloud holds a cloud puff, the Rain holds a drop of rain in her hands. She rides a cloud and has a blue teardrop shaped jewel on its forehead. She is very similar in appearance to The Cloud, and it has been assumed that the two are sisters.
Kero: The Rain Card is a mischievous one.
Me: It would be perfect for helping around the garden.
I fired a bubble of water and trapped it inside it.
Me: RETURN TO YOUR POWER CONFINED!
I held out my hand and an energy card formed and sucked it inside it. The Rain Card was in my hands.
Me: Awesome!
I signed it.
Edzilla: (punches mutated crocodile) ED SMASH MUTANTS!
Sydney: Time for some Final Smash power!
Sydney turned into Quarry!
Quarry: GRASSHOPPER ACID BATH!
Quarry fired a massive deluge of acid from her mouth and melted a bunch of monsters in one fell swoop.
Then a moose call was heard and suddenly from out of the blue came a big Brown Moose Zord.
Me: Wow! A new Wild Zord! The Moose!
Laney: It's breathtaking and beautiful.
The Moose Zord looked at Laney. Then a Brown light was seen and she saw an Animal Crystal appear and it landed in her hand.
Laney: Wow. The Moose Zord is amazing. I have 2 Wild Zords now.
Lucy Loud: Way to go Laney.
Laney: Thanks Lucy. Lets show these monsters the power of the moose.
The Moose Zord agreed and it rammed a bunch of them and pulverized them.
Kim P.: This is for all my friends! SOLAR STAR FIRESTORM!
Kim Possible fired a massive blast of solar fire and burned the rest of them!
Me: That's all of them.
DNAmy: (puts her hands up) A deal's a deal. You defeated my minions. So, I'll come quietly.
May: Don't think of this as defeat, DNAmy. We're going to put you in the Uranus Prison as Monkey Fist's cellmate.
DNAmy: Yes! I get to be with my beloved forever!
Me: (Shudders)
DNAmy: Oh, and Carol? I know I'm the last person to tell you this, but congratulations for getting married to Vince.
Carol: Thank you. We got married yesterday. It's the start of an amazing life together.
DNAmy: I'm happy for you.
During the battle, Nico caught a Volcarona and a Chesnaught.
Kim P.: (To the Viewers) All my adventures pale in comparison to the powers of Team Loud Phoenix Storm. But we have another of the villains I faced brought to justice.
Me: You got that right Kim.
We went back home. We had a great adventure in Idaho. Monkey Fist now had DNAmy with him as his cell mate.
THE END
Another Fanfiction complete and another Kim Possible Villain brought to justice.
DNAmy thankfully is not like the Paradigm Brothers thankfully. But she was cool. NicoChan11 gave me the ideas for this one. Thanks man as usual. Let me know what you all think. Next Clow Card is the Shield Card.
See you all next time.
