At the center of the volcano, Sly, the Beauty Trio and Visamo arrived at the death ray.
"There are the jetpacks right where Carmelita and Mei Ling said they would be!" Bentley informed.
"Could've picked a better spot, you two." Adagio pointed out.
"It was the only stable place at the time." Mei Ling responded on the Binoc-U-Com.
"It’s not stable anymore since the magnatronic support field for the Death Ray got destroyed as you guys were making a run for Sly’s cane. You’d better hurry, this whole thing is about to fall apart!" Bentley urged.
"We’re on it!" Sly replied.
"You got incoming, Ringtail!" Carmelita pointed out as more of Clockwerk's robot birds came swarming in.
"This just got fun." Sly said.
"Well, we should still move fast!" Rarity reminded as she and the other four thieves started climbing up the sinking weapon as they fought off the robot birds.
"Really wishing I had legs right now." Karai hissed.
"You’re not the only one here!" Visamo agreed.
"Work with what you got." Sly responded.
"You two know snakes can climb, right?" Adagio reminded.
"Yeah." Karai answered.
"Then you can climb those loose pipes." Sly informed as Karai and Visamo latched on.
"Well then, let’s get slithering!" Visamo declared as he and everyone else fought their way through to the jetpack.
"Hey Sly." Rarity called out.
"Yeah?" Sly asked.
"I think Clockwerk failed in his goal of robbing you of your thief status." Rarity noted.
"Yeah, but something feels off about that." Sly agreed.
"What do you mean?" Adagio asked.
"I have a feeling that when Clockwerk attacked my family and stole the Thievius Raccoonus, he let me live on purpose." Sly realized.
"You sure he didn't see you that night?" Karai checked as she sliced up some robo-birds.
"Think about it, if he’s an enemy of the Cooper and Hamato Clan for so long, he must’ve known about me." Sly explained.
"It's possible." Rarity admitted.
"He might not have noticed you, buddy." Visamo said as he kept climbing.
"Like I said, he probably knew I was there, but left me be." Sly reminded.
"We'll get that answer, buddy." Adagio said as she was slicing some robo-birds.
"We’re close!" Karai pointed out.
"I'll lead them away. You guys take Clockwerk down!" Visamo said.
"Will do, buddy." Sly responded.
"Hey you glorified windup toys, your mothers are broken toasters!" Visamo taunted as he drew the attention of the robo-bird minions away.
"I like him." Adagio noted.
"I think Rarity and I like him too." Karai added.
"Yes. He certainly is noble." Rarity agreed.
"Told you he’s a good friend to have around." Sly said as he and the Beauty Trio arrived at the jetpacks.
