Time Out: Jail House Rock
Of course, Dad wasn't just sitting around twiddling his thumbs while we were working on the outside. He was busy inside the jail, finding Tennessee Kid and finding a way out.
Sly walked along in the black and white striped jailbird suit he'd been forced into, the massive stone ball chained to his ankle carried in his arms for easy walking. He was led through the jail to a cell in a tower before being shoved in. He quickly discovered he wasn't alone in the large cell, and the desert sand colored raccoon in the cell with him could only be one being, even without the almost trademark cowboy hat and yellow scarf he was known to always wear. "Um...howdy," Sly greeted nervously. He wanted to make a good impression.
T.K. smirked up at him from where he sat, feet up on a large barrel. "Howdy yerself," he greeted warmly. "Looks like you must have ticked ol' Toothpick off pretty good. I like that. You got a name?"
Sly decided subtlety wouldn't be the best approach here. Dropping the ball, he decided to be blunt. "The name's Sly. Sly Cooper."
T.K.'s eyes narrowed angrily as he leapt to his feet. "Now son, you should know I don't take kindly to-"
Sly slipped his cane out of his sleeve, spinning it to put the hook at T.K.'s neck. "Are we really going to waste time debating tense here? I got myself thrown in here to bust you out, not to be lectured. I've got two little ladies waiting for us to get out of here, and it's not my Missus' patience we need to worry about growing short."
T.K. grinned eagerly. "So I gots me some relatives ah ain't never heard of? No real surprise. Show me what your branch has got to offer with busting us out-"
Slipping the cane back into his sleeve, Sly heaved the ball at the wall, shattering the stone around the window to create an opening to leap out. "See you at the bottom!" he said as he leapt onto the ball before running backwards on it to roll it out the hole.
T.K. watched as Sly dropped like a rock to the ground, leaping off just before impact before landing back on the ball to keep rolling it. He shook his head wonderingly. "Well, he certainly ain't short o' cajones, that's fer sure." He then raced down the stairs just in time for Sly to blast the main door of the cell open with the ball. "Looks like break time's over! Let's get outta here!"
"We just need to make enough racket that my friends know where not to shoot," Sly stated firmly as he led the way forward, breaking down doors as he went.
"Uh...don't ya mean, know where to shoot?" T.K. asked curiously.
"Sly!" Bentley suddenly yelled in Sly's ear. "T-Bone got impatient! Watch out!"
"Get down!" Sly shouted, tugging T.K. to the ground just before the Turbokat shot overhead, a large sphere dropping from it as it passed, falling in a parabolic arc before hitting the wall of the prison and blasting a huge hole in it, providing an instant getaway for the pair. "...and no, I did not."
"What in all the nine hells kinda plane was that?" T.K. demanded in stupefied amazement, the cigar he'd held in his teeth dropping unnoticed to the ground. "It...it flew by like lightning and dropped thunder! Even the family flying machines can't pull that off!"
"Yet," Sly corrected as he tugged T.K. towards the gap. "I'll fill you in completely once we get back to the hideout, and you get into something other than jail duds."
"Yet?" T.K. asked intently. "Ya mean that crazy theory o' mine about all the crazy doodads Toothpick's got at his disposal being from the future was true? And I thought I'd just finally flipped."
"Can't say one way or the other about your mental state," Sly allowed. "You are a Cooper, after all-"
"Ha!" T.K. barked out. "And so are you, that's fer sure."
"-but yes, the tech is from the future...and so am I."
"How many generations?" T.K. asked curiously.
"Can't say for sure," Sly admitted. "My memory's not the best since my bout with amnesia, and the first sign we had someone was messing with time was pages vanishing from the Thievius Raccoonus."
"How'd you get amnesia?" T.K. inquired in concern.
"I can't remember."
Tennessee burst into laughter as Sly leapt out the side of the jail, towing his ancestor along with him as he pulled out his paraglider to glide away to safety.
It didn't take long for Dad to get back to the hideout with Tennessee in tow. Of course, that first impression...could have gone better.
Tennessee glanced around the hideout, his eyes going from Coco to Bentley to Murray to the SWAT Kats. "So...this yer team?" he asked Sly carefully.
"My family," Sly corrected.
"...ya sure this ain't some crazy death-based hallucination cause they already hanged me? Cause this is the craziest group ah ever seen assembled."
"Seems this ancestor is a bit cruder than the other one," Carmelita mused dryly as she dropped in from the roof.
Tennessee looked her up and down appreciatively. "Well, now ah know ah'm dead, cause ain't no other way I'd be seeing an angel." He took Carmelita's hand and kissed it, leaving a desert rose he'd pulled out of nowhere in her grip as he pulled back.
Carmelita chuckled softly. "Are all Coopers such charmers, Sly?" she asked curiously.
"Only with the exceptionally pretty ladies," Tennessee joked, tipping his hat rakishly.
Sly gripped his cane tightly in both hands. "That's my fiance you're flirting with," he growled out possessively.
"So yer sayin' ya ain't wed yet and ah still got a chance wit her?" Tennessee asked eagerly.
Coco instantly tugged back on Sly's tail. "No Dad! You can't kill him now! He hasn't done the heist he's famous for or had kids yet! We're trying to stop Le Paradox, not create one!"
Tennessee chuckled. "Nice wordplay there, little lady. Now why don't one of ya fill me in on that full story I was promised?"

Nice wordplay indeed at the end.
Tennessee is my kinda guy. And he's a little crazy to boot.
Heh. Coco saved TK's bacon.
Another one of those double spaces.
And
Hahahaha! This was a funny chapter, Tennessee Cooper is one funny dude.
Emphasis Y-E-T.
Y'know, Sly doesn't stripe me as one who can pull off the jailbird look easily.
Can't say Tennessee dropped the ball on their escape.
Can't say T-Bone ain't jet set on not blowing things up.
And best ancestor has arrived.
8369485
uh, any particular reason you posted the same comment twice?
Slightly off-topic: Have you seen the pilot for the new DuckTales reboot? Do you plan on using the new series to inform this story at all?
Hewie, Dewey, and Luis are actually distinct characters now, for one thing. Also, I get the feeling that Coco and the new Webbie would have a blast together.
Even if you don't plan on having it canon to this story, it's still very worth a watch. Several spots had me burst out in raucous laughter, at least. You can find it on Disney's YouTube channel.
8369418
Indeed.
8369614
My mistake, my internet is shoddy at best and it ends with me posting the same thing twice... or Celestia forbid... four times
What do you mean by "now"?
Once again, the last part was so hilarious
8369743
(nods) fair enough
So now we see where slys crazy sides from
Dang!
TK's accent is so strong that i hear it in me head!!
Yay, my suggestion to have the Cooper Ancestors flirt with Carmelita was used.
I can't wait to see more of Tennessee's antics, especially if the Gang accidentally helps him meet his future wife/lady friend. Tough I wouldn't be surprised if it was a pretty saloon fox or raccoon girl he meets at some point.
These chapters are worth every wait.
8370101
XD So much yes!
Also: Kinda funny how all Coppers like Carmalita, yes? Some sort of famly thing?
8370496
Oh that would be great if all male Coopers went after female Kitsunes, of course I would LOVE to see if Carmalita were magical in a sense and would grow extra tails.
8370514 Even better if she gets to use Fox Fire to hurl fireballs ala Mario. Bad guys think they have her securely tied up? She can burn the rope away and hurl fireballs until she gets her pistol back.
Technology from the future in the west. I'm getting a vibe from one episode of Justice League: Unlimited.
8370528
Coco has magic..... Carmalita controling fire is a go! OwO
8370528
That would be great, the only way though for her to get magic is if she is effected by ANOTHER magical item they find while traveling through time unless a Fire Flower appears in the time vortex and lands in the Cooper Van and Carmalita eats it by mistake, then she would gain Fire Power!
8370556
Alternatively, she could be from an inherently magical bloodline that had been diluted to the point her magic was just enough to give her some resistances from various magical effects (which would be why using the Clockwerk Eyes to hypnotize her took so long), and it's been steadily amplified by being around Coco for so long, just waiting for the right moment to be unleashed by a proper catalyst.
Or I could be making stuff up that has nothing to do with the story because I enjoy watching my readers squirm.
8370563
Curse you Tatsurou, just give Carmalita fire magic already, she is a Kitsune and it would be a REAL big help if she had some magic powers of her own. Of course if she did then what happened at the end of Sly Cooper 4 might not happen in your story, and since Sly 5 isn't out yet do you want to go down the line of what happened with the secret end of Sly 4?
8370496
Guess they all have a thing for predators.
8370563
...I bough love and hate you right now and I can't decide which there is more of.
I could swear there'll be a crash in the future, and it involves Launchpad and the TurboKat.
8371390
T-Bone: We need a backup pilot...
Launchpad: I'm a pilot!
Razor: NO YOU CANNOT DRIVE IT!
8371392
I also have a feeling the Pastmaster might show up.
8370581
Not a Kitsune. She is a normal fox... A sexy anthro fox, that I, quite frankly, would not mind having read me my Miranda Rights, but a fox none the less.
8373609
Hey you never know, she could be descendant of a Kitsune, after all the author of this story could make it happen.
