After losing both his mother and his father, due to a group of villains attacking his home, a young Sly Cooper is sent to a nearby orphanage with his family's cane in hand. There he finds Murray, Bentley, Gilda, and Derpy Hooves, the four people that he would eventually come to call family one day. Together they practice their individual talents and pull off some successful heists, all while searching for clues as to the whereabouts of the Fiendish Five, the people that took out Sly's parents... as well as recover the pages of the Thievius Raccoonus.
All of them must deal with the tests and challenges that come with being in a gang of thieves, especially when some tests will push them to their breaking points.
(Sly Cooper/ MLP crossover)
(Part of the Universe 13 story series, though reading the other stories is not required)
Got a question before you start: will you be keeping the ending of Thieves in Time the same?
8848512 For the most part, yes... but I figured out a way around what happens at the end.
Not bad of a start.
Wow I wonder how bad Gilda is at sticking out? She apparently didn't change form when she went through the portal and now she will stick out like a sore thumb.
8848569 She's anthro as well. It says hands and feet when I described her appearance.
8848569
8848579
In all honesty, an Anthro griffon is probably the Anthro that requires the least change between quadruped and biped. All you do is give the Griffon a bipedal stance and body type.
8848812
and female attributes, of course...seeing as its Gilda...
im such a Bad Dragon, ill see myself out....smokebomb!
*POOF!*
Derpy shouldnt care about the electrical tube access, shes been struck by lightning before...
8855426
She has “siblings” who aren’t so lucky
8855612
eh, details....
8856069
They are important!😁
8850083
I still have the first three ps2 games
8856253
they r boring...and i reject them...
8855426
Ah, but given that she has been de-aged and had her memory wiped, how exactly is she going to know that she is mostly immune to electrocution? I doubt that she was hit by lightning in current memory.
8857556
its a mystery...
Flying OP, plz don't nerf.
I wonder what sort of powers Derpy and Gilda will get by the end of this story... I imagine Derpy will get something related to lightning, same as Rainbow, or something matching her bubbles Cutie Mark (although it would be hilarious if her powers were based on muffins). Gilda, I'm guessing she gets more focus on physical strength, and possibly augmenting her claws and beak with Ki/Magic/whatever.
Also, sorry if this had been asked before, but which games do you plan on going through with this?
8868156 All four Sly Cooper games, as in the Thievius Raccoonus, Band of Thieves, Honor Among Thieves, and Thieves in Time.
8868164
Can we please see some of what goes through Carmelita’s side of things I’d love to hear what she goes through while hunting Cooper.
8869043 I'll see what I can do in that regard... and I might have a good opportunity coming up, when we get to Muggshot's area.
8869173
Awesome
Plank.
Sly's.
Tires
Just.
Narrowly.
Only one trio needed.
And now, onto one of the creepiest areas in the series.
8886897 True, Mz. Ruby did have one of the creepiest areas in all four games... but, personally, I found her fight sequence to be one of the easiest as well.
It was fun if not terrifying to five year old me.
nice work.
I'm guessing Derpy and Gilda's "awakenings" will start either here, or in the Clockwerk fight.
8892661
Here, or as soon as they notice that they are walking on, rather than through, a patch of low hanging fog.
Powers hinted, but not awakened
One foe beaten, another hidden
wonder what will happen with the panda king?
It does make me wonder if Derpy and Glenda can even do the magic in those books?
8904521
Very poetic (golf claps)
So is life Ms. fox
Poor Derpy!
Going for a Red Oni/Blue Oni deal with the sisters? Gilda gets Wind and Passion, while Derpy gets Lightning and Calm? I like it, and it fits their personalities in the show.
8934478
She’s in a world where clockwerk is at least Proof of consept of cybernetics. I think she’ll be ok
I saw this and instantly said, “ Oh hell yes.”
8850083
Yeet. I agree.
Derpy's eye...
Why do I have the feeling Secretary Sen is Discord?
no spoils.
ok
So... who wants to bet Gilda loses her left eye, so the sisters match?
A chaotic name for a chaotic individual. Is he actually going to be adventuring alongside the Coopers?
Y'know, if Discord did have to choose only one animal with a single mutation to use as a cover identity, he would choose a male hyena with wings. Maybe even a female hyena if he was feeling particularly chaotic that day.
8946364
at least until he gets bored and decides to swap genders for giggles...say in the middle of taking a bath with Sly and the other boys...
i could see that happening
You know, I half expect that this isn't Discord, just to mess with expectations. That said, I noticed that you didn't describe Diz's wings. Are they feathery and bird like? Scailly and dragon like? Furry and bat like? And don't get me started on the lack of coloration. These are details we need!
well looks like a lot of the sly 2 game is going to be changed from this. neyla is not going to be having as easy a time to frame carmelita with this and the butterflies for sly 3 might make sure sly won't fake amnesia in the end. though when sly 4 comes around i fully expect sly and carmelita's children to join the adventure if it works out by that point. and i really hope penelope doesn't end up crazy and just join the gang in the time travel adventure. i really think her and bentley go together well... and i'm getting the feeling carmelita is going to be traveling with the gang once the second game starts. though i will admit neyla doesn't deserve to be mind whammied by clockwerk.
8950577 Yeah, there are some key things in the second game that'll change from this point forward... and your comment has made me consider other aspects of the story that I hadn't considered before.
8950852
that's what i'm here for to get people thinking .
8951077 I like it when readers offer ideas like that on my stories, as they either add to what I already had planned or they offer new ideas that I personally like and decide to add into what's already going on... and, like I said earlier, you got me thinking in a good way.
Well, so much for Diz being Discord... maybe an aspect of him, separated and thrown into the world so Discord could keep watch over Gilda and Derpy. An incomplete aspect, with no memory of who he really is, and little to no control over his powers. Perhaps at some point during or after Thieves in Time, his memories of being Discord start coming back, which starts the girls' journey home as the gang works to recover his true past. Except, what then? Does Diz S. Cordious merge with Discord? Does he want to? Would he prefer to remain as his own being? Does he even have a choice in the matter? Will he have become something more than an aspect of Discord by then? What does the gang/family think about it?
