My Little Sly Cooper: Thievery is Magic
I - All Hell Breaks Loose
"Sly! Come in! SLYYY! Do you read me?!?!" Bently's voice boomed through the Binoc-U-Com's earpiece.
"Yeah, I read you, Bentley," Sly grimaced, twisting his pinkie in his ear from the sheer volume of his reptilian friend's outcry. He had nearly fallen off of his lookout post on a water tower near the Paris Police Station. "Loud and... Well, really loud."
"Sorry about that, Sly. This operation has me a little bit on edge... We are breaking into Dimitri's lair, after all."
"Suck it up, Bentley. You're safe in the getaway van! I'm the thief here; I have to steal the Crimson Diamond from Dmitri's hideout before he uses it for something terrible!"
The Crimson Diamond was a powerful gem that was capable of destroying anything that stood in the user's path, amplified by only the user's touch.
"Alright, Sly...." Bentley groaned. "Just remember to always stick to the shadows when you infiltrate Dmitri's hideout. Those lizard guards sure do look violent tonight."
"Gotcha."
"And don't forget that I'm at the wheel, Sly!" Murray interjected. It was always good to hear the cheery purple hippopotamus. "All you gotta do is nab that Diamond, and we'll take care of the rest!"
"Nice. Keep that engine running, Murray. I'll be down in no time!" With that, Sly turned off the Binoc-U-Com and placed it in his backpack. He scanned his surroundings with sharp brown eyes, looking for something that could help him progress. He spotted a possible path: a horizontal flagpole some five meters away from him with a tall telephone post about a meter past it.
Sly took a few careful steps back on the water tower before dashing towards his target, making his jump at the very edge of the tower's roof. He stuck out his family's cane and hooked it onto the flagpole, swung on it a couple of times to gather some momentum, then unhooked his cane and arced through the air, landing agilely upon the narrow telephone post.
From his new perch, Sly noticed three telephone cables running from pole to pole one of which veered off to an abandoned warehouse near the docks. The warehouse had boarded-up windows, guards patrolling the entrances... and a sunroof that was left wide open.
It was Dmitri's hideout, alright.
Sly leapt off of the pole and twisted in the air, the head of his cane leaving behind a golden trail as it spun with him. He came in contact with the wire and began running along it with the dexterity of a tightrope walker, keeping low to avoid a guard's spotlight, which whipped around to see a telephone wire wobble and a gray-and-black striped tail whizz by.
"Ssstay alert," the guard hissed towards his companions. "There could a be sssneaky little prowler on the premisssesss ...."
"Never goes EXACTLY according to plan..." mused Sly, fixing his navy blue beret securely upon his head. At last he had reached the open sunroof of the warehouse. He crept inside the warehouse and landed softly upon a large blood red Persian rug. Standing not two feet away from Sly was a glass case, cradling the Crimson Diamond within it's silicate walls.
"Nice," said the thief, relishing the lack of security for the Diamond itself. He swung his cane viciously at the glass case, shattering it with ease.
*ERRRRR!... ERRRRR!... ERRRRR!*
"Dang it!" Sly exclaimed as he swiftly snatched the Crimson Diamond, threw it into his backpack, and left the Cooper Family Symbol - a masked raccoon - where the Diamond previously sat, "How could I forget about the alarm?!"
Sly knelt down into a squatting position before springing up to the sunroof, stretching his cane-arm as far as he could, and managed to hook onto the ledge. He scrambled up and booked it towards the getaway van, which was idling about fifty meters from him. He leapt onto the telephone cables again and bolted as fast as he could while maintaining his balance. He was halfway there... just a little more-
*BAAAAAANG*
*BZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZZT*
Something had happened to Sly; Suddenly, he was plummeting into reservoir below, his body suddenly seizing up as agonizing jolts of electricity coursed through him. He could have sworn he saw a smokin'-hot vixen in a police uniform holding a large red pistol watching with a mischievous smirk as he went down. Only one thing was on his mind: he couldn't swim
"Another job taken care of," mumbled Carmelita Fox, holstering the Shock Pistol and clapping her hands free of nonexistent dust as she walked towards the scene of the crime.
"Kick, Sly, kick!" the raccoon larcenist thought furiously as he lashed at the water. Alas, it was in vain. His body began to feel like lead from the strain of resisting the water's pull. The murky water began pulling him under, entering his mouth and filling his lungs. His struggles slowly came to a halt until, finally, he was still.
All was quiet.
All became black.
"Sly?" Bentley hollered into the Binoc-u-Com. "Sly?! Come in, Sly!"
"Bentley, what happened?!" asked Murray, chewing his fingernails anxiously.
"It's Sly! He's not picking up his Binoc-u-Com! You don't think he's-"
"No! Don't say that! Sly isn't dead!"
"Murray..."
"There's no way! Sly can't die!"
"MURRAY!" Once ensured silence, Bentley pushed his glasses up his nose and wheeled over to Murray, who sat down in a nearby chair, shaking his head in worry. "You have to accept it. It's not easy, but... you gotta."
Murray pulled Bentley into a crippling hug, tears threatening to blast forth from the fuchsia hippo's eyes.
First
Anyway, looks good so far.
I saw this, and the only thing I could think was "WIN" I'll have to read it tomarrow then, its late
Read it sooner than tomarrow, looks awesome xD
I excepted like more of the final in the third game, but this is like a side-quest (<3) and I love it!
the first part of the story is word for word from the start of the first game until you say Dimitri's hideout, then when you talk about the gem it stops but good job!
So she killed Sly? She had worked for years to catch Cooper and he gets killed.....
Well, I shuld not complain. It is not my story.
i was just playing third one and thought hey there should be a fimfic of this and im so glad there is
( Wasn't expecting that.... ) Awesome! Must keep reading!
she is a cop; she would have fished him out so she could cart him off to jail. unless.... that wasn't really her?!
Ah yes, good old unnecessary on-the-job exposition. It just wouldn't be Sly without it.
ALL OF MY YES. This used to be my favorite game, and the first fanfiction I ever wrote was for Sly Cooper. My username was even Sly Cooper.
... Why have I never played this game....
YOU KILLED SLY!!!Y OU JERKHEAD!!!
1473188 That Carmelita is an imposter, the real Carmelita wouldn't have let Sly die if only so she could have the honor of hauling him off to jail.
By the way did you know that Sucker Punch recently released Sly Cooper 4 Thieves in Time for the PS3?
dead on the first chapter.... man the rest must be flashbacks lol jk
I never knew alot about sly cooper until recently, it pretty cool
I'm unsure as to why nobodies noticed this yet, but you kinda have a major error in grammar just, like sitting there.
'Here' doesn't adhere to the perspective you're using for your story. As, we are not physically there, and therefore do not know where here technically is. Instead you should put,
"He pulled himself up and booked it towards the getaway van, which sat about fifty meters away from where his current spot was located."
That would not only sound better, but be correct as well.
Missing a period.
That must have been an imposter, for surely the real Carmelita would not have a) left him in the river and b) left him to die.
Also, Sly forgetting about the alarm? Expecting no one to notice him smashing open a glass container? Are you casting him as one of those Metroid style protagonists who develop amnesia between games? He's made an awful lot of OOC mistakes in order for you to set him up for this story.
Finally, Dimitri (spelled with an "i" after D, you're missing it in a few places) did not have lizard guards. He employed warthogs, mice/rats and frogs, but no lizards.
In chapter 3: Sly is an international man of intrigue. He speaks many languages during his many trips around the world, even if the games take place primarily in English/whatever language the game is localized for. Also, odds are that with a backstory like his, the current Cooper generation was English-speaking originally. If he noticed the ponies not speaking French, he would have tried as many languages as he could before giving up. (That brings up the question, is the Thievius Raccoonus written in one language, or in the language of whoever was the head Cooper in that time period? If the latter, then Sly is definitely a polyglot.)
Chapter 4: ...I give up. It's too dull. Perhaps "adventure" should be replaced with "slice of life?" (Before you say "it gets better later," there should have been something that got me hooked well before ten thousand words. Taking a character I like and placing him in a new setting for very little reason is not enough.)
SSSSLLLLLLYYYYYYYY!!!!
