Haiti. 2001. Sly Cooper World. One year before Sly Cooper and his gang would stop Mz. Ruby's reign of terror.
The Haitian jungle is dark, damp and desolate. It was no place for a human boy to walk through. Harley Keener seriously wished he would've thought things through. Harley was in the Haitian jungle to meet a voodoo priestess alligator named Mz. Ruby. Mz. Ruby was a anthropomorphic female alligator who was a voodoo priestess. She wasn't just some woman who was taking the magic spells and whatnot. Mz. Ruby was a real witch. She was essentially like Samantha Stephens from the TV show Bewitched, if she was 100% insane and evil.
This version of Harley Keener was from the future. A year and a half in the future to be precise. How Harley came from the future to be in the Haitian jungle in the past will remained unspoiled for now. Harley had desperately wanted to bring back half of the population of his world. He had no idea who caused half the population of his world to be disintegrated. The teenaged human boy had no idea that a purple alien named Thanos was the person who caused half the population of his world to crumble to dust with a snap of his fingers inside of a super powerful gauntlet that was powered by Infinity Stones.
The Avengers tried to stop Thanos from collecting all six Infinity Stones to put in his gauntlet. They were unsuccessful at preventing Thanos from collecting all six Infinity Stones and putting them into his gauntlet to them snap his fingers which led to 50% of the Earth's population to disintegrate into dust.
Harley had recently built a gauntlet that looked similar to the gauntlet that Thanos had used to wipe out half the population of his Earth. The gauntlet was purple. When Harley told the Cooper Gang about his plan of bringing back half the population of his Earth with a gauntlet, they thought that Harley was insane. They thought that Harley's plan was suicidal. But Harley didn't want to listen to what the Cooper Gang had to say about his plan of restoring life on his world. He was going to restore the people he'd lost back whether anybody liked it or not.
This mentality is what brought Harley to the Haitian jungle to see if Mz Ruby could make his gauntlet powerful enough for him to bring back all of the people he'd lost on his world. Harley continued to walk through the Haitian jungle. He was starting to get closer and closer to Mz Ruby's hideout. Harley felt strangely excited about contacting a voodoo witch to enchant his gauntlet. Harley continued to walk toward Mz. Ruby's hideout.
Meanwhile, in Mz. Ruby's liar, Mz. Ruby was watching things through her crystal ball. Mz Ruby was an female alligator with curly violet colored hair. She was kind of obese. Mz Ruby suddenly saw an intruder breaking into her premises. She activated her crystal ball. A 17 year old human boy from the future had appeared in the crystal ball. Mz Ruby didn't like intruders invading her privacy. She sent her ghost minions after the human intruder. Harley was staring off into space when suddenly, he saw a bunch of phantoms and ghosts coming toward him. Harley was immediately scared and he sprinted away from the ghost. He ran really fast through the Haitian jungle. He jumped across big gaps. It was mid afternoon outside. Harley eventually came across Mz Ruby's castle.
Harley vaulted over the gate that surrounded Mz Ruby's castle. Harley was about to run away when he was suddenly teleported to Mz Ruby's lair. The lair was like a cave. It was dark and moist. Harley looked at the female alligator witch with excitement.
"Are you the one they call, Mz Ruby?" Harley asked the alligator.
"Yes. I am Mz Ruby." The alligator said to Harley. "What did you come here for."
"I came here because I want to restore half of the population of my world. You see, half of the population of my world was mysterious turned to dust by an unknown force. My mother was one of those people who got turned to dust. I need you to enchant my gauntlet to be super powerful so that way I can use it to restore half the population of my world back." Harley said to Mz Ruby. He walked over to the crystal ball. Mz Ruby's crystal ball suddenly showed various scenes form the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie: Avengers Infinity War. Harley and Mz Ruby both watched in horror as they saw a purple alien collecting all 6 multicolored gems throughout space and time and put thrm in his Infinity Gauntlet. This purple alien was named Thanos.
Thanos had been going on a quest to find all of the Infinity Stones that were scattered around the universe and put them in his gauntlet so that way he could get rid of the universe with just a snap of his fingers. That's exactly what Thanos did. Thanos, along with his two minions had successfully managed to collect all six of the Infinity Stones and he put the stones in the gauntlet. He snapped his fingers and just like that, half the population of the Earth was disintegrated in an instant. The Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy had tried to stop Thanos from obtaining The Infinity Stones. Thanos was too powerful to stop.
Harley Keener cried when he saw Thanos snap his fingers and made half the population of his world disappear like a magic trick. He couldn't believe that it was real.
"I want to reverse what that f**ker did to half the population of my world!" Harley yelled at Mz Ruby.
"I'm sorry to say this, but that event is beyond my control. I can't reverse what that guy to your world, Harley. It's beyond my power." Mz Ruby said.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S BEYOND YOUR F**KING CONTROL TO LET ME BRING BACK EVERYBODY FROM MY WORLD? YOU HAVE MAGIC POWERS. I'M MORE THAN CAPABLE OF REVERSING WHAT THAT C**KSUCKER DID TO HALF THE PEOPLE OF MY WORLD!" Harley yelled and screamed at the alligator.
The female alligator witch was taken aback by what Harley had said to her. She had never heard somebody this angry before in her life. She secretly wanted to curse Harley for his behavior.
"I want you to enchant my gauntlet right now!" Harley demanded Mz Ruby. "I need to restore my people."
"You don't use that tone of voice with me." Mz Ruby said to the human boy.
"I can talk to you in any tone of voice that I please." Harley snapped at Mz Ruby.
"I'm not gonna enchant that glove if you're going to use that tone of voice with me." Mz Ruby warned Harley. "Don't make me use my powers on you."
"You don't have magic powers. You're a fake. You are a fraud. You ain't no witch. You're nothing." Harley said to Mz Ruby.
"You wanna see how fake my powers can be?" Mz Ruby asked Harley.
"Yes." Harley said. "Prove to me that you have magic powers and that you ain't shitting around."
The alligator conjured up a voodoo doll of Harley Keener. It was a cloth doll. Mz Ruby touched the doll's arm. Harley felt somebody touching his arm. The alligator pushed down on the voodoo doll's arm. Harley couldn't move his arm. He felt immense pressure on his arm. Harley screamed in pain. Mz Ruby lifted the human boy up in the air like he weighed nothing. Harley was beyond terrified by what Mz Ruby was doing to him. Mz Ruby let go of the Harley voodoo doll. She lifted Harley back down to the ground.
"Now do you believe that my powers aren't fake and that I'm not a witch?" Mz Ruby asked Harley.
Harley was a loss for words. He was petrified. He was starting to regret going to see Mz Ruby for help in restoring his people back. Harley was saying multiple cuss words underneath his breath.
"You shouldn't have yelled at me." The female alligator said to Harley. "You should've known better not to mess with a voodoo priestess like me. For your rotten behaviour toward me, you'll be forced to help out the Cooper ancestors throughout various points in time for all of eternity. If you refuse to comply, I will put you in suspended animation forever and you'll never be woken up ever. I've already enchanted your gauntlet. Have a nice trip, Harley."
Before Harley could say anything, Mz Ruby opened up a portal and it sucked Harley through. Harley Keener blacked out. The human boy had learned an important lesson that day: never mess with a voodoo priestess who has magical mystical powers.
