The next job for the Cooper Gang was to blow up Rajan's dam. According to Bentley's research, tigers supposedly have an aversion to water. I found that a bit hard to believe. Then again, I knew nothing about tigers, so how was I to know whether or not tigers had an aversion to water or not. Actually, Bentley's research about tigers was wrong. If you've ever read the book Liffe of Pi or watched the movie, you'd know that when Pi was forced to be on the lifeboat with a tiger named after Spider-Man's father (I'm not kidding), there was a moment in which Richard Parker (the tiger) swam in the ocean to catch fish. Clearly, Bentley was getting his "research" dead wrong. He probably got his research on Reddit, a bullshit forum posting site that is full of lies and rumors. I loathe Reddit with every fiber of my being. A whole, fucking novel was published based on a bunch of Reddit forums called Penpal. (I am not kidding!)
"My research indicates that tigers have an aversion to water. By destroying that dam, the temple will be filled with the runoff." Bentley said.
"That's a crock of shit you made up, Bentley. Tigers are in fact excellent swimmers. I read it in a book called Life of Pi." I said to Bentley.
"How do you know that's true?" Bentley asked me.
"Read Life of Pi." I said to Bentley.
"So you're planning on flooding Rajan out? Good plan, but I don't think your bombs are strong enough to do the job." Sly said.
"That's bullshit." I said. "Bentley's bombs are strong enough to blow up the freaking dam. It's not like he has an RPG to blow the dam up with."
"Luckily, we have an attack helicopter we can use. It's inside the truck." Bentley said. Bentley had to be on some type of hallucinogenic drugs. There is no way in hell an attack helicopter could fit inside of a freaking truck. It's beyond possible. That'll be like saying if a school bus could fit inside the tractor trailer of a semi. It's simply not possible.
"What type of drugs are you on? There's no freaking way that an attack helicopter can fit inside a truck." I said to Bentley. What happened next shocked me beyond belief. I saw the truck trailer come apart and I saw a full size attack helicopter on the bed of the truck. To say I was flabbergasted would be an understatement. I was beyond flabbergasted when I saw that an attack helicopter on a truck. Bentley wasn't taking Quaalude's, molly or any mind altering drugs. He was serious. I then saw Bentley go inside the attack helicopter and he shot at the dam until it burst and the entire area was flooded. Unfortunately, a piece of the dam had struck the helicopter. I watched in horror as Bentley's helicopter lost control and smash against a tower. I sprinted over to where the helicopter crashed to see if Bentley was Ok. Bentley was slightly injured. He didn't look too bad. He got out of the helicopter. The whole area was successfully flooded out.

Murray and Sly's next job was to pry the ruby from an elephant statue. Bentley had recently got into contact with a local crime ring. They agreed to help the Cooper Gang if they had the ruby in exchange for a Cherry Bomb 5000. Murray and Sly pried the ruby off the elephant statue. Murray then had to throw the ruby without breaking it. Bentley provided soft trampolines for Murray to throw the ruby to, so that he could then traverse to the previously unreachable area.
Once at the waterfall, a dealer reacted positively to the quality of the ruby and suggested that they bring the ruby to the buyers. The two made their way to the meeting point, where three buyers appeared and took the ruby, promising a Cherry Bomb 500 when it was needed.

Partial flooding didn't work, so it's time to go the distance. Blowing up the temple's elephant mouth should turn this grotto into a swimming pool. I'll cover Murray from the chopper's gun turret while he pries the mouth open. Once that's done, Sly and Harley will need to walk the Cherry Bomb 500 into the throat, then get to high ground as fast as you can. Rajan is sure to show up and be extra angry. Jump him, snag his half of the Clockwerk heart and we're out of here.

I couldn't believe I was actually holding an actual freaking explosive! An actual, freaking explosive device. I couldn't believe that the partial flooding of the temple didn't work. It had to work. I was worried if we managed to flood Rajan's whole spice temple, that we might flood something beyond the jungle. Me and Sly reached the mouth of the elephant statue. There were a bunch of guards that we had to take care of before opening the mouth of the statue. Once we defeated all the guards, Murray used his might to lift open the elephant statue. All of a sudden, I saw a whole shit ton of hunter seeker bombs being rained down upon Murray. Bentley got rid of the hunter seeker bombs by use the chopper's turret to destroy the bombs before they hit Murray.
Once the coast was clear, Murray finished lifting the lever and opened up the elephant's mouth. Sly and I placed the Cherry Bomb 5000 inside the mouth. Then me, Sly and Murray ran like Usain Bolt away from the bomb. The bomb exploded in a fiery explosion only the MythBusters could be proud of. The entire area was now completely flooded. Rajan came out of his temple. He was mad when he saw that his temple was flooded.
"Black Clouds and Thunderbolts! My spice temple... ruined! I will no longer hide while you villains destroy my hard-won empire. This place is mine... (growls) here I am King! Come, face me, Cooper. With Clockwerk's black heart, I will show you true power. You are nothing. Come, face the might of Rajan, lord of these hills." Rajan said.
"YOU AIN'T THE LORD OF SHIT!" I yelled at Rajan. "NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR STUPID, ILLEGAL SPICE TEMPLE. YOU'RE WORSE THAN PABLO ESCOBAR!"
"You'll pay for those words!" Rajan said to me.
Neyla suddenly appeared. She looked like she was going to help us defeat Rajan. I used my Ninja Spire Jump move to reach the purple tigress. When Neyla saw me, she grabbed my chest with one hand. She looked at me. She had literal fire in her eyes.
"You think you and your team can defeat me. You've got another thing coming. You're filth." Neyla said to me. Before I had a chance to react, the purple tigress took out her claws and slashed me vertically across my chest. I screamed out in pain. I felt Neyla whip me across my legs. Then she picked my body up and threw it off the platform which we were on. A bolt of lightning suddenly struck my entire body as I was falling through the air. The shock was unbelievable! It was as if I was being electrocuted by a billion wires all at once. I saw nothing but blackness and stars. My life literally flashed before my eyes. Memories of my childhood raced through my mind as I fell. I felt my body splash into the deep water. Everything was black, like my favorite Rolling Stones song. My mind went blank.

Sly Cooper was struck by lightning. Murray was shocked when he saw that. He watched as his friend landed on a lily pad. Murray knew he had to beat the shit out of the tiger who had used the Clockwerk heart to strike his friend with lightning. Murray fought Rajan and won. Murray managed to pick up the other half of the Clockwerk Heart, but immediately after, the Contessa, Neyla and their bodyguards arrive to bust Rajan and the Cooper Gang, with the exception of Bentley, who was controlling the scene from the chopper. Carmelita shows up as well, but she is framed by Neyla, who shows the Contessa a photo of her dancing with Sly back at Rajan's ball.[note 1] The Contessa orders her men to place Carmelita under arrest, which makes her furious at Neyla. Bentley monitored this from the chopper and sees Neyla for who she really is... a double-crossing liar.
