Sly, Y/n Cooper and The Gang in: A Starry Eyed Encounter!

Another Clockwerk part had surfaced in India, so the boys and I loaded up the van and zeroed in on our next target. A mysterious spice lord known as Rajan. A self-made man who grew up poor on the streets of Calcutta, he started his life of crime selling illegal spices on the black market eventually growing a small outfit to a sizable operation and earning himself a seat in the prestigious Klaww Gang. He since crowned himself lord of the Hills And while he goes to Great Lengths to convince others of his royalty it's mostly to convince himself, true to form he's holding a lavish ball in his newly purchased ancestral palace. The reason; to show off his latest acquisition, the Clockwerk wings. The symbol of our enemy oh, if you saw the wings silhouetted against the night sky it was already too late for you especially if your name is Cooper. Rajan believes displaying the wings will bring him prestige and maybe they will but they're also bringing us.

Sly and Y/n Cooper walked out of the abandoned building in India's jungle that they're using as their hideout as Bentley talked to them via their ear pieces.

Bentley- "Sly and Y/n you'll both want to scope out palace then find a way to break into the ballroom, Let's find out who's at this party. With the drawbridge up the only way across that river is on those conical rocks. Do you two remember how to Spire jump?"

Sly and Y/n adventures through the jungle dodging cobras and collecting coins then looked at some pointed rocks with their Binocucoms as they answered Bentley sarcastically.

Sly & Y/n Cooper- "What? You think we'd forget one of the Cooper family's greatest thieves move? Whenever we are near pointed objects we just need to jump and balance on the rock to perform at the Ninja Spire jump landing."

Bentley- "That's correct...now, let's see it in action."

Sly and Y/n put away their Binocucoms before jumping rock after rock then climbed onto a pipe to reach the palace walls. They began stealing from the rhino guards and knocking them out one by one til they reached they are adjectives for this first mission and took out their Binocucoms again as Bentley talked to Sly and Y/n.

Bentley- "I've figured out how to sneak in above the ballroom without being detected. The only problem is there's no way to climb up to that balcony door."

Sly and Y/n moved the cameras on their Binocucoms around finding a way to get inside smirking.

Sly & Y/n Cooper- "Not a problem. There seems to be plenty of branches for us to walk on... we'll figure it out." They said before putting away their Binocucoms and got to work, climbing up into the trees and began to walk also jumping til they reached the balcony door and entered the palace.

Bentley- "Easy does it Sly, Y/n. Just don't go out from under that balcony and you both should remain undetected." Bentley said through their earpieces before Sly and Y/n pulled out their Binocucoms as Sly took pictures of Rajan, Clockwerk's wings and Electronic winch. "Looks like the wings have been welded onto that statue, They look heavy getting the wings out of here will be a real challenge. An electronic winch that could be useful. That's him, Rajan he's really pulled out all the stops to impress people with this party. Maybe you both should get some shots of the guests." Bentley said as Y/n began taking pictures of Jean Bison, Neyla, Neymar, Contessa, Arpeggio, Carmelita and Carlos. "That's the Countessa, a high ranking prison warden for interpol. She must be working undercover to expose Rajan's spice ring. Carmelita and Carlos are here too, they must be undercover with the Countessa to help bust Rajan. Another Klaww Gang member, Arpeggio specializes in exotic technology. Neyla and Neymar another duo of undercover cops, watch yourselves Sly and Y/n this party is crawling with cops! Jean Bison a member of the Klaww Gang and Canadian shipping Baron, he owns half of the trains in Canada. That's all the photos I need bring them back to the safehouse and we'll start building the game plan." Bentley explains as Sly and Y/n put away their Binocucoms before escaping back to the safehouse to plan. "Stealing the Clockwerk wings in the middle of a crowded ballroom is going to take some serious misdirection and the squad of undercover cops only makes this more complicated although we might be able to use them to our advantage. But no matter what we do in the ballroom sooner or later we'll need to deal with Rajan's security Chopper, Murray could take it out with some of the local armaments but he won't be able to get inside the palace until Sly and Y/n lowers the drawbridge for him."

Sly and Y/n ventured back to the palace to get the first mission of the new heist complete as Bentley talked to them via earpiece.

Bentley & Sly- "Sly, Y/n, Murray and I can't get inside the palace unless you lower the drawbridge." He said as Sly whispered to not catch the guards attention. " I'd love to Pal but the winch is all lockdown... you know where I can find the keys?" Bentley thinks before saying. "Key guards have recently taking up positions around the palace. Sneak in, pick all of their pockets, and bring the keys back to the locked down winch."

Y/n rolled her eyes as she and Sly separated to collect all five keys for the locked down drawbridge winch and thirty clues for the areas vault along with coins and the other guards valuables filling their leg pouches before knocking out the guards around the palace. Once Sly and Y/n had all five keys to unlock the winch they got back to work unlocking it. "Nice work Sly, Y/n now Murray and I can access the palace grounds." Bentley said through their earpieces before Murray came out into the field to do his mission; Battle the Chopper. "That chopper is a menace to all future aerial operations while this job." Bentley said to Murray through his mask. "Yeah, it's all covered in missiles and guns and stuff." Murray replied as Bentley explained to their large hippopotamus friend. "Now, be a team player and take it out with that Rusty pre-war turret." Murray got to the turret and spoke up. "Ok, I had a potato gun once; I bet it works just the same." Murray began firing at the chopper and the missiles it fired towards him while clearing up the sky above Rajan's palace. Sly and Y/n knocked on the ballroom's entrance door balcony as Sly spoke to the door keeper. "Hello, My sister and I are here for the dance." The door keeper looked down at Sly and Y/n saying. "Whuh? Sorry "Sir and Ma'am" but we have a dress code... you got any tuxedo and dress?" Y/n looked at Sly before speaking towards the door keeper. "Uhh...no?" The door keeper was not amused at all. "Sorry, pals. No tux and dress, no entry!" With that said the sliding peephole was shut up tight as Bentley spoke up to Sly and Y/n from their earpieces. "Sorry Sly and Y/n, somehow I totally overlooked the need for Formal Wear. That guy is not going to let you both in without a tuxedo and dress." Bentley sounded disappointed til Y/n spoke up. " don't beat yourself up Bentley... At a party this ritzy there has to be spare penguin suit and glamorous dress around here somewhere." Bentley sounded a bit more cheered up by the sound of his voice as he said to his Raccoon friends. "Try the guest house, someone may have over packed." With that in mind Sly and Y/n Cooper headed towards the guest house area to collect Sly's Tuxedo and Y/n's ballgown. "Okay Bentley, We're in position inside the guest house, have any intel for us?" Sly asked Bentley as he spoke up. "Ah well, I'd recommend searching all the rooms. It's statistically probable that each should hold at least one portion of a tuxedo and dress plus accessories for it." Y/n's ears perked up happily as her tail fluffed up with her giddy attitude. "What do we look for inside the rooms?" Sly asked confused as Y/n went off to the ladies portion of the guest house to collect the dress she'll be wearing plus it's accessories for it. Soon Y/n found a black silk like to the touch split leg dress, black silk gloves, beautiful black dancing heels, a red silk scarf to wear around her neck and some dangling ruby earrings with a star cut ruby ring then she started getting ready in from of a vanity mirror styling her h/c hair into an elegant yet wavy ponytail bun and putting on some rose scented perfume with the finishing touch a new coat of shiny red lipstick on her lips before pulling on the gloves securely then slipped the ring onto her forefinger. "Looking beautiful, sis." Sly said as Y/n looked over at her brother smiling before at the full length mirror in front of her. "Thanks Sly and you look dashing, bro." Y/n said seeing Sly in his 'new' tuxedo before the Cooper twins headed back to the ballroom door and knocked on it as the door keeper looked down at the pair. "You got your tuxedo and dress now..."Sir and Ma'am?" Sly and Y/n smiled up at the door keeper saying. "Of course we do...We're here to dance." The door keeper opened up the door for Sly and Y/n Cooper to walk in smiling while saying. "Then come on in."

♤•Rajan's Party: Ballroom•♤

Sly and Y/n Cooper walked into the ballroom wearing their formal wear instead of their usual theiving attire as Bentley spoke to them through their earpieces. "Your tuxedo and dress disguise is working perfectly; no one will recognize you two in those outfits. Now, during the heist you'll both need to dance with Carmelita and Carlos to keep them and the crowd distracted. The only is their picky about dance partners so you'll both need to impress them first." Sly and Y/n spotted Neyla and Neymar not far from them as they replied to Bentley. "Alright, We know just the girl and man for the job." Sly and Y/n whispered softly before walking up towards the tiger twins on opposite sides as Y/n approached Neymar smiling seductively.

Y/n Cooper- "Constable Neymar, you look dashing this evening.~" she said as Neymar looked down at her.

Constable Neymar- "I'm sorry do I know you, Ma'am?" He asked as Y/n moved her hands in front of her smiling.

Y/n Cooper- "I used to chase after you back in Paris along with you chasing after me when we first met under the moon lite sky.~" she said honestly as Neymar's sea foam green/blue eyes widened.

Constable Neymar- "Paris?....Y/n Cooper?! You aren't by any chance here to turn yourself in? Old ironsides would fall out of his tuxedo." He said making Y/n blush slightly.

Y/n Cooper- "As good as that sounds how about you dance with me first?" She asked while holding out her gloved hand with the ring on it to Neymar.

Constable Neymar- Smirked charmingly at the female ring tailed thief as he took her hand gently and lifted it to his lips and kissed the top of her gloved hand. "Enchantė my beautiful desert flower.~" He said before he pulled her close to his body resting one hand on Y/n's lower back as she placed her own hand on his shoulder then held their free hands together before doing the tango. "You look ravishing tonight, Y/n. But are you using me to get at old ironsides?~" he asked.

Y/n Cooper- smiled seductively yet sweetly up at Neymar. "Yes, I am...do you mind Neymar?" She asked while they paused on dancing.

Constable Neymar- Leaned down as he whispered into her ear. "Not at all desert flower, shall we continue?" He asked as Y/n hummed softly before they began dancing once more without a single mistake or flaw as Neymar dipped Y/n smirking. "It's an honor to hold a lovely woman like you close even if it's a dance." He said making her blush bright red.

Y/n Cooper- "And my family calls me a shameless flirt, you Neymar are a charming tiger whose words are like pure poetry to me as you speak of your endless love towards me.~" she teased thus making him blush before lightly snarling at her seductively.

Rajan & Jean Bison- "That fellow and young lady are very graceful." Rajan said as Jean Bison looked at the old spice lord. "If only you moved spice shipments as well." The Caveman attired bison said as Rajan snarled at him. "Silence!"

Constables Neyla and Neymar danced on with Sly and Y/n Cooper til they dipped or were dipped down by their dance partners.

Constable Neymar- Gently helps Y/n back onto her feet smiling. "Thank you, that was delightful my desert flower." He said while kissing her hand once more lightly.

Y/n Cooper- Smiles sweetly at Neymar. "Thank you Constable Neymar, after all...it takes two to tango.~" she said as Carlos walked over towards Neymar and Y/n.

Constable Neymar- "Yes, and three is always a crowd." He said seriously as He and Carlos glared at each other.

Carlos Montero Fox- "Neymar, your friend here is quite an accomplished dancer." He said as he looked up and down at Y/n not recognizing whom she was thanks to the dress.

Constable Neymar- "I tried to make her look good." He said seriously as Carlos glared at him while they growled at each other.

Carlos Montero Fox- "Please Neymar, her skills far surpass you." He said as Y/n stepped in between the growling todd and tiger with a hand each against their chests lightly passing them apart.

Y/n Cooper- "Perhaps later you and I might share a dance? Mr?..." she asked while Carlos took her hand into his own kissing it as Neymar did.

Carlos Montero Fox- "Mr. Fox...Carlos Fox...and I accept, I'd love to lead a lovely woman such as yourself in a dance. I'll show you how to properly tango." He said smiling down at her then he watched her walk away from him then vanished into the crowd. 'I feel like I know whom that woman is?' He thought.

Bentley- "Alright boys and girl we're ready for the next phase. I plan to get at the Clockwerk wings requires use of the electric winch above the ballroom, to get control of the over the device I need to hack into the computers in Rajan's board room plus we'll need an extra strong saw blade to cut the wings off of the statue, to make a saw blade that durable I'll need Sly and Y/n to steal the gems off headdresses of Rajan's prized elephants and finally I'll take to the skies with my remote controlled helicopter and nullify the palace surface-to-air defenses. That should clear things up for the heist." Bently explained the next phase of the heist.

Sly and Y/n walked out of the safehouse to retrieve the six gems for the saw blade from the spooked elephants with Sly getting three gems from the first elephant as Y/n got the other three gems from second elephant. "That's it! With these jewels I'll be able to create an ultra hard real saw for the heist." Bentley said as Sly and Y/n ran to the vault room of Rajan's palace which was a long one but got Murray and Bentley inside. "Thanks for breaking us in pal, "The Murray" approves." Murray said in the third person again as Bentley spoke up. "Let's get down to brass tacks. I need to hack both the Vault room computers to get control of the electronic winch above the ballroom." Murray looked down at Bentley confused. "So what are me, Sly and Y/n here for?" He asked as Bentley explained. "The second I enter their servers they'll be on to us. You guys need to work together to keep the thugs off my back." Sly and Y/n smile looking up at Murray. "You and us pal, side by side." The Cooper twins said as Murray smiled at them. "The Murray" knows no fear." He said as Bentley got to work Sly, Y/n and Murray began fighting off guards to keep Bentley safe. "I'm unstoppable! I've got control of the winch. Thanks for the back up guys." Bentley said as Y/n hugged him. "No problem, the big guy and us had it covered." Sly and Y/n said together as Bentley smiled hugging Y/n back before looking at Murray. "Murray, let's hook up the direct feed and get out of here well the coast is clear." Sly and Y/n escaped through the drainage pipe from before while seeing Bentley's remote controlled helicopter in the air finishing of the defense jeep as they headed back to the safehouse to hear about Operation: Hippo Drop!

Bentley- "Okay, synchronize your watches this Heist is going to take extreme precision, here's the plan I'll start things off by demolishing the palace's main bridge that should cut off reinforcements from the guest house and hopefully distract the ballroom guards standing watch over the Clockwerk wings. Sly and Y/n will then take Carmelita and Carlos on their invitations for dance and while the crowd is transfixed by their tango. Murray will lower into the ballroom on the electronic winch, once down he'll cut the wings free and then winch backup for an exit. Murray should then make his way out of the palace, I'll cover his exit with the RC chopper once he's passed the drawbridge we're home free." Bently explained as Sly and Y/n got ready to dance again while left the safehouse to destroy the main bridge to the guesthouse.

Once Sly and Y/n Cooper got back into the ballroom they separated as Y/n was flirted with by a few guests whom she rejected to dance with as the Coopers watched Rajan speak with his guards.

Rajan- "What?! The bridge is destroyed? Thank all the men power you need and look into it too." He said as the guards left the ballroom.

Y/n Cooper- Moved a piece of her h/c hair behind her ear as she whispered softly to Murray above her. "Murray you in position?"

Murray- Hanged above the statue on the electronic winch with the saw in hand. "Check, N/n." He said smiling.

Y/n Cooper- "Looks like Bentley's little distraction did the trick. Initiate phase two- I'll take care of Carlos while Sly does the same with Carmelita and the crowd, you handle the heavy lifting and be careful big guy." She said while she walked onto the ballroom floor as she walked up to Carlos. "Mr. Fox, I believe you owe me a dance?" She smiled up at the todd.

Carlos Montero Fox- "I thought you had left ma'am? I've been looking for you everywhere." He said as he took her hand into his own and kissed it lightly.

Y/n Cooper- "Just waiting for the perfect moment to dance with a handsome fox as yourself, Mr Fox." She said making Carlos blush slightly.

Carlos placed his arm onto her waist as Y/n placed her hand on his shoulder while they held each other's hands as the tango music played on throughout the ballroom.

Carlos Montero Fox- Dips Y/n down slowly as he asked her. "You look familiar to me, are you in law enforcement?" He gently lifted her back up into his chest.

Y/n Cooper- She looks up into Carlos eyes blushing bright red "I often deal with police on the job, Mr. Fox." She said honestly as her tail swayed in time with the music around them. While Murray got to work on the Clockwerk wings and got them out of the ballroom as the crowd and Rajan were spellbound by the Cooper twins and Foxs dancing as Sly dipped Carmelita and Carlos dipped Y/n in sync as the music stopped playing.

Carlos Montero Fox- "Tell me stranger, what's the name of a beautiful woman such as you?" He asked as they stood back as Carlos kissed her hand once more.

Y/n Cooper- "Oh, Mr. Fox why ruin the moment." She said while walking up to him as they looked into each other's eyes while she placed her hands onto his shoulders.

Carlos Montero Fox- "Huh? I... I don't understand Ma'am?" He asked as Y/n pulled him down into a deep yet passionate kiss while slipping something into Carlos's tuxedo jacket before fleeing with Sly as Carlos was in a daze.

Rajan- "The wings! What happened to the Clockwerk wings?!

Carmelita & Carlos Fox- The Fox twins snapped out of their lovestruck daze and looked at Rajan as Neyla and Neymar were behind the old tiger in their uniforms. "What! How? Who could have... Whuh?" Carmelita found a red rose in her hair with Sly's mark tied to the stem as Carlos felt something in his jacket and held Y/n's mark in between his gloved hands. "Coopers!" Carmelita and Carlos Fox yelled out.

Murray ran through the palace grounds holding the Clockwerk wings as Bentley provided air support from above taking out the guards with huge knockouts bombs as Murray got to the Cooper gang van as the five friends and thieves sped off into the deep jungle.

Sly & Y/n Cooper- "As the gang and us got away with the Clockwerk wings, Carmelita and Carlos blow their cover and started making arrests left and right. With his reputation in shambles, Rajan was forced to flee from his own party. He's now in hiding somewhere deep in the jungle. We and the gang took a break and headed to Bollywood. It took some doing but we eventually snuck Murray onto a full blown Indian Musical. We're happy the guys got to unwind but Rajan was still out there and somehow we knew things were about to get tough."

Meanwhile back in the Fox's hotel room.

Carlos looked down at female Cooper's trademark in his hands before opening it up carefully seeing a letter inside of it as he read it carefully.

Dear, Carlos

Sorry I had to swoon and dash off but, you know that work is never done for Sly, Murray, Bentley and I as long as the Clockwerk parts are out in the world in the hands of the Klaww Gang. I told you before that you along with Interpol should've destroyed them completely, you know what Clockwerk did to my family's name and my childhood. The only good things that came with losing my parents and home was Sly and I meeting Murray and Bentley in the orphanage then later in life meeting you and your sister during one of the Cooper Gang's heists. All those games of cops and robbers that lead up up to you becoming flustered by my flirting banter then our first kiss and the many others we shared along the way. I love you Carlos Montero Fox even if I'm a theif and your a man of the law, your also my heart's true desire and the one thing I want to steal away the most.

Yours Forever,

Y/n Cooper. 👄

Carlos held the letter close to his heart as he smelled Y/n Cooper's rose scented perfume lingering on the paper while looking up at the moon and stars. "I love you Y/n Cooper, Mon amour and I'll make this right to you, your brother and your friends. I promise you that." He said before going to sleep dreaming of his beautiful ring tailed woman.
