Sly Cooper: Thieves in Equestriaby Mario-and-sonic-palsChaptersFrom Paris to Equestriaturning Equestriango east young ponyof mares and mechsThe hot smell of hateFrom Paris to EquestriaAuthor's Note I couldn't find any sly cooper stories here, so I decided to make my own. This is separate from my previous story, so consider this it's own thing. From Paris to Equestria Chapter 1 I should probably start from the beginning, my name is Sly, Sly Cooper, and I’m a thief from a long line of thieves. In fact thievery is the family business. If you saw my last adventure, you would know that after time traveling to meet my ancestors, I ended up stuck in ancient Egypt. Lucky for me, my friend Bentley managed to transport me back to modern times. Bentley was the brains of my heists. We grew up in the same orphanage together where we bonded over stealing cookies, our very first heist. Once I got back to the old Paris hideout, I was reunited with Murray, the third in our trio. Murray was our enforcer, the muscle, and the guy who ate all the cookies back in our orphanage days. Ever since then, we’ve been more like a family than a gang. It’s been two weeks since we’ve been reunited, and I decided that we had to pull a heist. I should mention that as a master thief I only steal from other criminals, so, even though it took a while, we decided to steal from a new thief in town. He seemed respectable, but he was about to learn that the cooper family is also interested in magical artifacts. Funny how people get these kinds of things. It was a nice Fall evening in Paris, and the Cooper gang was at the hideout of a new thief in town. “Okay, do you guys remember the plan?” said Bentley. “Of course, my mind is like a steel cap,” said Murray. “That's a steel trap, big guy,” said Sly Cooper, as he and the gang tiptoed around the hideout. “Besides, we’ve been over it a million times, what could possibly go wrong?” “That’s what you said before we time traveled in time and look where that got us. Look, we’re only going to get one shot at this, so we can’t mess up,” said Bentley, as the gang all got into position. Bentley took out the security system, while Murray took out the guards with his strength. As for Sly, he went to the loot that he was after… a golden amulet. “Okay, this was too easy,” said Sly, as carefully grabbed the amulet and left his calling card. “Stop right there, Cooper!” said a voice that sounded familiar. The voice was that of Inspector Carmelita Fox, Sly’s on again off again love interest. “Carmelita, as beautiful and unpredictable as ever,” said Sly, as he made his exit into the getaway van. “Not bad for a reunion heist.” “Yeah, but now the cops are on our tail,” said Murray, as he drove the van away from the police. “Bentley, does the Time Machine still work?” “Yes, but we don’t have any artifacts to use,” said Bentley. “We do now. Hold on tight,” said Sly, as he placed the golden amulet into the Time Machine’s artifact scanner. Suddenly, the machine started to malfunction. “What’s going on, Bentley?” “It appears that the amulet is not sending us to another time, it’s sending us… to another dimension! Hold on!” said Bentley. The van’s Time Machine started lighting up and, in less than a second, the cooper gang was transported to an alternate dimension. Somewhere, in another dimension… The Cooper gang woke up in a big field of green grass, slightly famished. “Is everyone okay?” said Sly. “It’s a good thing my legs are numb, other than that I’m okay,” said Bentley. “I think my butt is broken,” said Murray. “The van’s totaled, so I guess we’re marooned. Where are we?” “I don’t know, but I see a town up ahead, maybe we can ask someone for directions,” said Sly, as he and the gang walked towards the village up ahead. Once the Cooper gang got into town, they noticed something unusual. The town was mostly inhabited by… ponies. “Well, at least we know that this dimension is very different from ours.” The ponies all stared at the cooper gang, and whispered to each other. Just then, a pink pony with a fluffy, cotton candy-like mane started hopping towards the gang. “Maybe she knows what this place is?” said Murray. The pink pony walked up to the Cooper gang. “Hello strangers, my name’s Pinkie Pie and welcome to ponyville. What are your names?” asked Pinkie Pie. “My name is Sly Cooper, these are my friends Bentley and Murray,” said Sly. “We’re a little lost, do you think you could find someone who can tell us where we are?” “Sure thing, follow me,” said Pinkie Pie, as she led the Cooper gang to Twilight Sparkle’s castle. “Princess Twilight Sparkle should be able to help you. She’s very good at knowing things.” She then bounced off to Sugarcube Corner. “Well, if this princess has a way for us to get home, we might as well check if she has some nice loot,” said Sly, causing his crew to give him ‘seriously’ looks. “I know, we only steal from criminals, but I don’t know if there’s any crime here. Let’s just ask this princess for help.” Just then, Twilight Sparkle excited the castle, causing Murray to bow. “Greetings your majesty,” said Murray. “Nice to meet you, my name is Twilight Sparkle,” said Twilight. “What brings you to Ponyville?” “Well, it’s kind of a long story, your highness. But long story short, we’re from another world and we’re kind of lost,” said Sly. “It sounds like a lot to take in, but I think it has something to do with this amulet.” He then showed the pony Princess the gold amulet. “Wow, the legendary Equestrian amulet. How did you find it?” asked Twilight, who was clearly fascinated. “I… uh, found in the storage room of my local museum,” lied Sly, who didn’t want Twilight to know that he was a thief. “I’ve heard of this before, but I’ll have to do some research. In the meantime, you can stay in the castle until you get back home,” said Twilight. “Thank you,” said Sly. So here we were, trapped in a world inhabited by ponies. Colorful and cute was one way to describe this world, but I think it would be nice to stay in a castle for a while. I wanted to tell Twilight that I was a thief, but I figured that I would tell her tomorrow. Besides, I wouldn’t want this princess to know she’s letting a thief live in her home. Until then, I want to see where this goes. turning EquestrianAuthor's Note Just to be clear, the italic opening and closing is Sly's narration, kinda like the games. turning Equestrian Chapter 2 It’s pretty weird to say, but me and the gang are in a pony dominant world. Since Bentley’s Time Machine brought us here, Bentley came to the conclusion that the amulet I stole must’ve been from this world. Weird, huh? Since we needed help, we asked Princess Twilight for help, and luckily she was a straight A student back in school. She managed to find out that a pony wizard named Star Swirl the Bearded transported the amulet to our dimension as a test for a spell to send sirens to another dimension. She also said that the only way to get back home was with our Time Machine, which was damaged beyond repair. So, it looks like we’re going to need some parts to repair the van. This could be difficult, but me and my gang have been through worse. It was a nice, sunny day in Ponyville, and the cooper gang woke up after a long night’s sleep in Twilight’s guest room. “Man, that was one comfortable night,” said Sly, as he and the Cooper gang walked out of the guest room. “Bentley, do you think you can locate some parts to fix the Time Machine?” “I think I can, everything in this world is giving off a magical aura,” said Bentley. Just as they entered the map room (or whatever it’s called), they were greeted by Twilight and the rest of the mane six. “Hey guys, I hope you don’t mind but my friends want to lend a hoof in helping you get home,” said Twilight. She then introduced her friends. “This is Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and you already know Pinkie Pie.” “Nice to meet you all,” said Sly. “Don’t worry, Twilight informed us about your situation,” said Pinkie Pie. “What’s it like in your world? Just asking,” said Rainbow Dash. “Well, it’s like this world but with much taller buildings, cities around the world, and it’s mostly inhabited by anthropomorphic animals like us,” said Sly. “Also, I should just mention this now, I’m a master thief.” “Oh, but you seem rather polite, even for a thief,” said Rarity. “That’s because my family, along with my friends here, only specialized in stealing from other thieves, because there’s no honor, no challenge, and no fun in stealing from regular people,” said Sly. “Oh, I forgot to mention, I come from a long line of master thieves. So, stealing is basically the family business.” “That sounds nice, but how do you keep track of your family history?” asked Fluttershy. Sly then pulled out an old book. “With this. The thievius raccoonus. This book has been passed down from generation to generation in my family, filled to the brim with the techniques of my ancestors, including my father,” said Sly. He then started to think about his dad. “He would’ve been proud to see what I’ve become.” “I’m sure he would,” said Applejack, as the six ponies flipped through the pages of the thievius raccoonus. “Would ya look at this here fella, Tennessee ‘Kid’ Cooper. Sounds like he’s right up my alley. Not that I would live a dishonest lifestyle, no offense Sly.” “None taken,” said Sly. “Anyways, we’re going to need some help repairing our van, so you might need these.” He then handed each of the six ponies binocucoms. “These will help you see stuff at a great distance.” “I don’t know, isn’t stealing wrong?” asked Fluttershy. “Don’t worry, we will do the stealing while the rest of you do reconnaissance missions and inform us about this world,” said Sly. “Exactly, but since this world is mostly magic, we’ll need magical artifacts to power up the van so we can even get home,” said Bentley. “What’s worse is that I don’t know where we can find an engine for the van here in Ponyville.” “If it’s an engine you’re looking for, then we better mosey on down to Manehatten. They got some fancy technology that could help you,” said Applejack, who was being honest as usual. “That may be a good place to start,” said Twilight. “We better get to the train station, asap.” In Manehattan… Once the gang was in Manehattan, they began to search for an engine that would work in the Cooper gang’s van. Lucky for them, they found the engine in an old dumpster, but the engine was in great condition. “I still cannot believe that you chose to go dumpster diving,” said Rarity, in disgust. “Hey, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, or in this case engine,” said Sly. “Anyways, this’ll definitely work in the van. It’s the right size and the right type. What could possibly ruin this moment?” “How about your arrest?” said a familiar Latina voice. It was Carmelita Fox. “Did you really think that you could hide behind these adorable little ponies? Face it, Cooper, you’ll never escape the law.” “Carmelita, wait! I haven’t stolen anything, honestly. Wait, how did you end up in this world with us?” said Sly. “I grabbed onto Murray’s van before it took us here. Once it did, I was flung into the air and landed in a giant cake,” said Carmelita, as she grabbed a candle out of her hair. “I’m sorry officer, but I order you to let Sly and his friends go. By order of the princess of friendship,” said Twilight. “That’s me, by the way. It’s the reason I have wings and a horn.” “So you are of high authority. Very well, but if Cooper steals from you then I will lock him up for good,” said Carmelita. “Sly, care to introduce us to her?” asked Pinkie Pie. “Right, where are my manners? This is Inspector Carmelita Fox, she’s an old flame of mine,” said Sly. “Oh, why ever did you break up?” asked Rarity. “Probably because he’s a thief and she’s an inspector,” said Rainbow Dash. “And because I pretended to have amnesia for about eight years,” said Sly, causing the ponies to gasp. “I know, it was wrong and I regret it.” He then faced Carmelita. “Look, I’m sorry I did you any wrong, can you ever forgive me?” “You are forgiven for now, Cooper. But if you steal from these ponies, I’ll revoke my forgiveness,” said Carmelita, who wasn’t making it clear if she was sarcastic or serious. “As soon as we get back to Paris, I’ll only let you off with a warning.” “See, that’s progress. Now, don’t you two feel much better?” asked Pinkie Pie, who clearly doesn’t know how to read a room. “So, what do you need next to get back this ‘Paris’ of yours?” “Most of the stuff we found in this dumpster was what we needed, but the rest is modern technology that doesn’t exist in this dimension,” said Bentley. Suddenly, the gang started to smell a familiar stench. “Eww, what is that awful stench?” said Rarity. “Cyrille Le Paradox!” said Sly. “I recognize that stench anywhere.” The gang followed the stench cloud to an abandoned building, and, sure enough, Cyrille Le Paradox was there with what appeared to be mind controlled ponies. “What the h-e double hockey stick is going on?” asked Applejack. “I don’t know, but with this stinker involved it can’t be good,” said Sly, as the gang snuck into the building. I couldn’t believe my eyes, Cyrille Le Paradox was there in Equestria and not in prison. I guess this proved my hunch correct, we weren’t the only ones interested in magical artifacts. While we were in the building, we explained to our new hoofed friends that Le Paradox was bad news. The last time we encountered him, he tried to erase my family name from history, which ended with his arrest and me getting stuck in ancient Egypt. I thought he was done with crime, but Carmelita explained that Le Paradox had escaped prison a while back, which was the reason she was in that warehouse on the night we traveled here. As for our new friends slash recruits, they were ready to help me and my friends anyway they can. I was going to say no, but after they told me about their past adventures, which also included time travel, I decided to let them help. Luckily, they knew a few extra ponies that could help us out, but first things first we had to find out what Le Paradox was doing in Equestria. This should be fun. go east young ponyAuthor's Note Yes, I am aware that Equestria isn't Interpol territory, but Carmalita arrested people in cia territory before, so that's why she tries to arrest sly. go east young pony Chapter 3 So things weren’t looking so good. We did manage to find the parts we needed to fix the van, but we didn’t expect to find Cyrille Le Paradox controlling an army of ponies. It turns out, he managed to escape prison and used some of the Equestria artifacts from our latest heist to travel to Equestria. Since Le Paradox lost his army after being captured, he decided to control innocent ponies here in order to make his revenge plan a reality. Talk about overkill. We managed to explain to our new pony friends who Le Paradox was, and they immediately knew that he was bad news. First he tries to erase my family history, now he’s taking over a pony world, this time Le Paradox has gone too far. It’s time to bring that filthy skunk to justice. But first things first, we’re going to need some intel. “So let me get this straight, this Le Paradox guy tried to erase your family name from history, and now he’s going to extract his revenge because you were the reason why he was in jail,” said Twilight, who was now back in the castle with everyone else. “That’s pretty much the entirety of our last adventure,” said Sly. “If we’re going to figure out what he’s up to, we’re going to need some intel.” “And how exactly do we do that?” said Rarity. “We’ll have to find a way to get the info we need from Le Paradox by sneaking into his secret headquarters,” said Bentley. “But the only way to do that is to do some reconnaissance missions. Lucky for us, we have six new friends that can help us get to Le Paradox.” “So you want us to help you get to this power hungry skunk while possibly getting killed in the process?!” asked Rainbow Dash. “We’re in. But only because you’re not a common criminal.” “You do realize that he is a thief, right?” said Carmelita. “There’s no need to be rude. Besides, Sly has shown that he can be trusted,” said Fluttershy. “We’ll help anyway we can.” “Just tell us what you need,” said Pinkie Pie. “Okay, here’s the plan…” began Bentley as he began to explain the plan to everyone. Back at Le Paradox’s secret hideout… Once the gang was at the secret hideout, they all snuck onto the rooftop. “Okay, does everyone remember the plan?” asked Sly. “Yes. Fluttershy will distract the guards with the gypsy outfit that Rarity made for her,” began Twilight, as she motioned to Fluttershy who was dressed in a gypsy outfit. “Once they're out of the way, Murray will use his strength to open the door. Then, Bentley will use his spy, remote control toy car to infiltrate the room Le Paradox is in and use it to figure out what his plan is. Once that’s done, we make our daring escape.” “Any questions?” asked Sly. “Yes, why do I have to be a distraction? Rarity’s beauty is better than mine,” said Fluttershy, who was having second thoughts about the mission. “While that is true, you look much better in green than I do, darling,” said Rarity. “Besides, the guards look like they prefer cuteness over beauty.” “Well… okay, I’ll do it, but you all owe me big time for this,” said Fluttershy, as she got into position. “Yoo-hoo, are you handsome gentlecolts ready for a show?” She then started to dance seductively (or at least what was considered seductive by pony standards), which seemed to get the attention of the two guards in front of the building. “Okay Murray, you’re up,” said Bentley. Murray tiptoed to the door, and used his might to open the door, followed by Bentley activating his remote control car. “Okay, time to get that info.” The car raced past the other guards, but it managed to reach the room Cyrille Le Paradox was in. “So, Le Paradox, what exactly is your plan for taking over equestria?” said a familiar female voice (which was at least familiar to the ponies). “Nothing severe, but it will involve those guardians of friendship you mentioned. Once those ponies are out of the way, I will finally get my revenge on Sly Cooper,” said Le Paradox. “Did I ever tell you why I hate this Sly Cooper?” “No, you have not,” said the female voice. On the roof of the building, the mane six and the Cooper gang were trying to figure out who the female was. “Well, Sly was not the only one who comes from a long line of master thieves, I too have thieving ancestry. One day, my father was going to frame Sly’s father for stealing the world’s biggest diamond, but he was too late and he was arrested instead,” said Le Paradox. “With nobody to teach me anything, I became a terrible criminal. Ever since then, I have sworn that I would get rid of the Cooper family once and for all.” “Very interesting, definitely more interesting than me losing my hive to Starlight Glimmer,” said the voice, which made the ponies realize who she was… Queen Chrysalis. “But anyways, thanks for freeing me from that statue prison.” “My pleasure, your highness,” said Le Paradox. “Now, let us discuss the rest of the plan somewhere else.” Once they left the room, the remote control car left the building. “Holy shamoly, Queen Chrysalis is alive,” said Pinkie Pie. “Let me guess, she’s an evil queen and she hates anything that’s good,” said Sly. “Pretty much,” said Twilight. “Whatever Le Paradox wants, it can’t be good if it involves Queen Chrysalis.” I had to agree with Twilight, and after she explained what Queen Chrysalis has done before I knew we were in for the fight of our lives. It turns out, she once tried to trick Twilight’s brother into marrying her. Talk about marriage fraud. Eventually, Twilight’s pupil, Starlight Glimmer, managed to turn the changelings against their former leader and Chrysalis ran into hiding. More recently, Twilight had trapped Queen Chrysalis in stone along with Tirek and a filly named Cozy Glow. I assume the former is this world’s version of the man below. We may not know much about this world, but I know two things. One, this isn’t Carmelita’s jurisdiction, and two, we are going to stop Le Paradox and Queen Chrysalis from destroying this world or any other world for that matter. Now that we have the intel we need, we can start the next phase of our plan to save Equestria. of mares and mechsChapter 4 Now that we got the information we needed, we had to find out the next phase of the plan. Before we did that, we were gonna need some back up. Luckily, Princess Twilight knew exactly where to get the extra help. We needed to go to the Crystal Empire to recruit her brother, Shining Armor. Once we recruit him, we’ll have an army big enough to take down Le Paradox and Queen Chrysalis. Twilight said that the army would help us as long as we explain everything to them. That should be enough to convince them, considering that they almost had a wedding ruined because of Chrysalis. Funny how things work out sometimes. Once everyone and everypony was at the Crystal Empire, they entered the castle where they were greeted by Shining Armor and Princess Cadence, along with their baby, Flurry Heart. “Hey Twilly, we got your distress signal, what’s the emergency?” said Shining Armor. He then noticed the Cooper Gang. “Does it involve your new friends?” “It does, actually. An enemy from their dimension is here to destroy Equestria and their world as well. To make matters worse, he freed Queen Chrysalis from her stone prison,” said Twilight. “We’re going to need some help to figure out his plan, so we were wondering if you and Cadence would be able to help us.” “Don’t worry Twilight, we’ll do anything we can to help,” said Cadence. “Flash, watch over Flurry Heart while we’re gone.” “As you wish, your highness,” said Flash Sentry, as he took Flurry Heart to her room. “We’ll round up the rest of the guards, just tell us where to go,” said Cadence. At Le Paradox’s secret base… On the train ride to the secret base, the Cooper gang explained everything Le Paradox had done in the past. They also managed to explain why Le Paradox was doing this in the first place. “Yikes, this Le Paradox guy sounds like a lot of trouble,” said Shining Armor. “I still can’t believe his dad tried to frame your dad for stealing the world’s biggest diamond.” “It’s unbelievable, I know. I still can’t believe Queen Chrysalis’s plan was basically marriage fraud,” said Sly. “Anyways, we gotta stick to the plan because the faith of both our worlds are at risk.” “Don’t worry, we have the plan memorized,” said Pinkie Pie. “Us ponies will distract the evil guards, while Sly sneaks into the hideout to get more information about Le Paradox. Then, once we have the information, we’ll surround him and Chrysalis, and save the world.” “That’s basically a summary of the whole plan, but thanks for the recap,” said Bentley. “Quickly, everyone and everypony into position.” Once the ponies distracted the guards, Sly snuck into the hideout. He then used his binocucom to listen in on Le Paradox’s conversation with Queen Chrysalis. “So, what exactly is your major plan, Le Paradox?” asked Queen Chrysalis. “It’s quite simple,” began Le Paradox. “Once we have enough ponies to carry out the mission, we’ll travel to modern day Paris and use their magic to make me immortal. Then we’ll take over Equestria and destroy the ones that you call Celestia and Luna.” “That’s what you think Le Paradox,” whispered Sly, as he signaled to everyone that it was ambush time. “The jig’s up, Le Paradox. You’ll never take this world.” “Cooper! What are you doing here with these little horsies?” said Le Paradox. “We are ponies, and the guardians of friendship. By order of me, Princess Twilight Sparkle, I place you under arrest for fowl napping these innocent ponies and attempting to destroy Equestria,” said Twilight. “Don’t think I’ve forgotten about you, Chrysalis. The same charges apply to you.” “Oh, I’m so scared,” said Queen Chrysalis, sarcastically. “It’s not like we destroyed anypony.” “Besides, we have other plans,” said Le Paradox. “Then explain yourself, why go after Equestria instead of exacting your revenge on me, Le Paradox. What’s the deal?” asked Sly. “The deal is that I lost my army because of you, Cooper,” began Le Paradox, “so I needed a way to get revenge on you in a unique manner. That’s when I discovered those magical artifacts from this dimension, and a way to use them to travel here. Once here, I discovered Chrysalis and freed her from her stone prison, and she gave me the idea I needed to defeat you.” “What’s that?” asked Sly. “Immortality. All I needed was hate from these little ponies and what was left of Clockwerk, and now that I have all the hate energy I need, it is time to start your end,” said Le Paradox. He then activated the mechanism behind him, which transformed into a giant mechanical version of Le Paradox. “See you in Paris, Cooper!” said Le Paradox, as he entered the mechanical body, which caused him to become immortal. “Behold, the almighty, time bending, Le Paraclock.” “To Paris, Le Paraclock,” said Queen Chrysalis, as Le Paraclock picked her up and used the clock in the center of his chest to travel to modern day Paris, taking the mind controlled ponies with him. “Great, we’re too late. Now our dimensions are doomed,” said Rainbow Dash. “It’s not too late yet, we can still make it back to Paris, but we’ll need some help restoring the flow of our dimensions,” said Bentley, facing the ponies. “Hold on, you want us to travel back to your dimension and risk our lives to destroy two of the most deadly people in the entire world… we’re in,” said Pinkie Pie. “But, how exactly do we get to Paris?” “We can use the Time Machine that brought us here,” said Sly. “Who's up for a road trip?” The good news is that we managed to figure out what Le Paradox was planning, the bad news is that his plan was already in motion. He just replaced his mortal body with soulless machinery just like Clockwerk all those years ago. Lucky for us, the Time Machine was all fixed up, so we were ready to follow Le Paradox and Queen Chrysalis to modern day Paris. We figured that we might need some help, so we were glad that our new friends decided to tag along. We were about to leave this amazing new world and return to our home dimension. I’ll admit, I’m gonna miss this place, but on the other hand I’m gonna be glad that we’re finally going back home. Because now it’s time to save the world. Author's Note What will happen next, even I don't know. The hot smell of hateChapter 5 So, Le Paradox’s latest plan had become a reality, and he and Queen Chrysalis were about to destroy our worlds, starting with Paris. Thankfully, Bentley modified the Time Machine to travel across dimensions without any artifacts required, and our first step was to head home. We knew that we would need some help, so our new friends decided to tag along for the ride. Once we got to Paris, we were stunned to see that Le Paradox had already taken over. Bentley did a little research while we introduced our pony friends to our dimension, and he found out that Le Paradox and Queen Chrysalis used their mind controlled army to take over Paris. We had to watch our back if we were going to stop them and send our friends to their home dimension. Once everyone and everypony arrived in Paris, the ponies were amazed by the beauty of the city. “Wow, this dimension of yours is awesome!” said Rainbow Dash. “But, were those banners of Le Paradox always there?” “Nope, those banners are new,” said Sly. He then faced Bentley. “Bentley, what’s going on?” “It seems that Le Paradox and Chrysalis used their army to rule over Paris. Their last known location was at the biggest national landmark in Paris… the Eiffel Tower,” said Bentley. “Not the Eiffel Tower! I don’t know what that is,” said Pinkie Pie. “What’s this tower you speak of, and why is it important?” “It’s a national treasure, and the only treasure I can’t steal, mainly because it’s too big,” said Sly. “We better get there before it’s too late.” They all got into the van, and drove to the Eiffel Tower. “Um, guys. I think we’re gonna need a plan before we confront Le Paradox,” said Murray. “You’re right, Murray. We’re going to need a way to sneak into their secret base. Lucky for us, we have magic and science on our side,” said Bentley. “Fluttershy, do you think you’re up for being a distraction again?” “I guess so, but only because you asked politely,” said Fluttershy. “Great. We’ll need you and Sly to take out the guards with a distraction, then we’ll be able to sneak and take care of the security system. Once that’s done, Sly will be able to get to Le Paradox and destroy his mechanical body. It’s almost crazy enough to work,” said Bentley. “Excellent planning Bentley, but just to ensure that the distraction works,” said Sly. “Don’t say it,” said Bentley. “ I’ma going to use my Italian accent,” said Sly, in his infamous Italian accent (emphasis on the infamous), causing the Cooper gang to groan. “I said crazy, not suicidal. Besides, you have the worst Italian accent I’ve ever heard,” said Bentley. “We could really use the extra flavor, besides I’ve heard worse accents,” said Twilight. She then used her magic to levitate pizza delivery outfits. “Rarity made these just in case.” “This’ll go great with my Italian accent,” said Sly, followed by him and Fluttershy changing into their outfits. “ Come on, Fluttershy. Time to cause a distraction.” Sly and Fluttershy walked up to the guards. “Bonjour my friends,” said Fluttershy, who was putting her French to the test (I never said that it was perfect). “We are-a here to deliver a pizza to Le Paraclock,” said Sly, in his Italian accent. “I didn’t know robots could eat pizza,” said one of the guards. “If we-a don’t deliver the pizza to him he’s-a going to be very angry,” said Sly. The guards let them into the base. Once inside, Sly and Fluttershy ditched their disguises. “Okay, let’s look for a way to get the others into the base.” “Let’s try the air vents,” said Fluttershy. She then opened the air vents, allowing the others to sneak in. “Alright, time to end this once and for all,” said Twilight. They all rushed to Le Paraclock and Chrysalis, where the final showdown was about to begin. “Chrysalis! Le Paradox! Show yourself!” Suddenly, Le Paraclock emerged from the ocean, carrying Chrysalis in his left hand. “I see you made it home with your pony friends,” said Le Paraclock, in his new robotic voice. “There is no way you can defeat me this time, Cooper. Once we take over Paris, we are going after Equestria next. All we need is for your complete and utter surrender.” “Never gonna happen, Le Paradox. Because we have friendship and family on our side, not only is it something you lack, but it’s also the greatest thing you can ever ask for,” said Sly, causing his gang to smile at him. “We get it, your friends are your power. Enough playtime, let the battle begin,” said Chrysalis. “Okay, you asked for this,” said Sly. Suddenly, the royal guard appeared, ready to attack. Speaking of which. “Attack!” The army charged at the mechanical monstrosity and the former changelings queen, using all their might to do as much damage as they possibly can. “Sly, hop on, we can defeat Le Paradox faster if we take to the sky,” said Twilight, followed by Sly hopping on to her back as she took to the sky. “Maybe if you zap his mechanical parts, it’ll give me the chance to destroy him once and for all,” said Sly, to which Twilight nodded in agreement. Twilight then started to zap Le Paraclock’s body, until he collapsed into the ocean. “He’s still powered on. Sly, this is your chance, destroy him!” said Twilight. Sly then jumped onto Le Paraclock’s body, jumping from broken body part to broken body part until he reached the head. “Destroy me if you can, Cooper, you’ll never be rid of me,” said Le Paraclock. “Maybe, but you can’t do any harm from the depths of hell,” said Sly. He used his cane to destroy Le Paraclock’s head, causing him to enter self destruct mode. “Uh oh, that’s not good.” “I got ya buddy,” said Rainbow Dash, as she grabbed Sly and flew him to safety. Suddenly, Le Paraclock exploded into a million pieces, leaving nothing but a pile of rubble. “Holy Chalupa! He exploded.” “Thanks for stating the obvious, but now let’s deal with Chrysalis,” said Sly. Luckily, they already had a plan for this. “Twilight, Cadence, time for operation Stonehenge.” “Right away, Sly,” said Twilight. The ponies all surrounded the former queen of the changelings. “Cadence, horns at the ready.” Cadence nodded. “You’re kidding right?” said Chrysalis. Suddenly, Cadence and Twilight used their magic into stone once more. “May I?” asked Sly. “Be our guest,” said Twilight. Sly then used his cane to shatter Chrysalis into a million pieces, ensuring that she will never return ever again. “That’s the last we’ll ever see of them.” Once everyone and everypony went back to the Time Machine (and sent the mind controlled ponies home), they all said their goodbyes to each other. “It was nice working with you,” said Twilight, as she and Sly fist bumped. “We’ll never forget you.” “Right back at ya,” said Sly, followed by Bentley sending the ponies back to their world. And with that, our magical adventure came to a close. We met so many amazing ponies, and learned so much from them that I didn’t want it to end. But as the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Everything was going to be okay… until I remembered about Carmelita. I thought for sure she was going to arrest us right then and there, but she was true to her word and left us with a warning. After that, me and my friends set out to find the greatest treasures we could find around the world. After all, friendship truly is the greatest gift. The End Go outside. Author's Note That last part is a reference to sly 2 band of thieves. Also, I wouldn’t be a sly fan if I didn’t use the infamous Italian accent.
From Paris to EquestriaAuthor's Note I couldn't find any sly cooper stories here, so I decided to make my own. This is separate from my previous story, so consider this it's own thing. From Paris to Equestria Chapter 1 I should probably start from the beginning, my name is Sly, Sly Cooper, and I’m a thief from a long line of thieves. In fact thievery is the family business. If you saw my last adventure, you would know that after time traveling to meet my ancestors, I ended up stuck in ancient Egypt. Lucky for me, my friend Bentley managed to transport me back to modern times. Bentley was the brains of my heists. We grew up in the same orphanage together where we bonded over stealing cookies, our very first heist. Once I got back to the old Paris hideout, I was reunited with Murray, the third in our trio. Murray was our enforcer, the muscle, and the guy who ate all the cookies back in our orphanage days. Ever since then, we’ve been more like a family than a gang. It’s been two weeks since we’ve been reunited, and I decided that we had to pull a heist. I should mention that as a master thief I only steal from other criminals, so, even though it took a while, we decided to steal from a new thief in town. He seemed respectable, but he was about to learn that the cooper family is also interested in magical artifacts. Funny how people get these kinds of things. It was a nice Fall evening in Paris, and the Cooper gang was at the hideout of a new thief in town. “Okay, do you guys remember the plan?” said Bentley. “Of course, my mind is like a steel cap,” said Murray. “That's a steel trap, big guy,” said Sly Cooper, as he and the gang tiptoed around the hideout. “Besides, we’ve been over it a million times, what could possibly go wrong?” “That’s what you said before we time traveled in time and look where that got us. Look, we’re only going to get one shot at this, so we can’t mess up,” said Bentley, as the gang all got into position. Bentley took out the security system, while Murray took out the guards with his strength. As for Sly, he went to the loot that he was after… a golden amulet. “Okay, this was too easy,” said Sly, as carefully grabbed the amulet and left his calling card. “Stop right there, Cooper!” said a voice that sounded familiar. The voice was that of Inspector Carmelita Fox, Sly’s on again off again love interest. “Carmelita, as beautiful and unpredictable as ever,” said Sly, as he made his exit into the getaway van. “Not bad for a reunion heist.” “Yeah, but now the cops are on our tail,” said Murray, as he drove the van away from the police. “Bentley, does the Time Machine still work?” “Yes, but we don’t have any artifacts to use,” said Bentley. “We do now. Hold on tight,” said Sly, as he placed the golden amulet into the Time Machine’s artifact scanner. Suddenly, the machine started to malfunction. “What’s going on, Bentley?” “It appears that the amulet is not sending us to another time, it’s sending us… to another dimension! Hold on!” said Bentley. The van’s Time Machine started lighting up and, in less than a second, the cooper gang was transported to an alternate dimension. Somewhere, in another dimension… The Cooper gang woke up in a big field of green grass, slightly famished. “Is everyone okay?” said Sly. “It’s a good thing my legs are numb, other than that I’m okay,” said Bentley. “I think my butt is broken,” said Murray. “The van’s totaled, so I guess we’re marooned. Where are we?” “I don’t know, but I see a town up ahead, maybe we can ask someone for directions,” said Sly, as he and the gang walked towards the village up ahead. Once the Cooper gang got into town, they noticed something unusual. The town was mostly inhabited by… ponies. “Well, at least we know that this dimension is very different from ours.” The ponies all stared at the cooper gang, and whispered to each other. Just then, a pink pony with a fluffy, cotton candy-like mane started hopping towards the gang. “Maybe she knows what this place is?” said Murray. The pink pony walked up to the Cooper gang. “Hello strangers, my name’s Pinkie Pie and welcome to ponyville. What are your names?” asked Pinkie Pie. “My name is Sly Cooper, these are my friends Bentley and Murray,” said Sly. “We’re a little lost, do you think you could find someone who can tell us where we are?” “Sure thing, follow me,” said Pinkie Pie, as she led the Cooper gang to Twilight Sparkle’s castle. “Princess Twilight Sparkle should be able to help you. She’s very good at knowing things.” She then bounced off to Sugarcube Corner. “Well, if this princess has a way for us to get home, we might as well check if she has some nice loot,” said Sly, causing his crew to give him ‘seriously’ looks. “I know, we only steal from criminals, but I don’t know if there’s any crime here. Let’s just ask this princess for help.” Just then, Twilight Sparkle excited the castle, causing Murray to bow. “Greetings your majesty,” said Murray. “Nice to meet you, my name is Twilight Sparkle,” said Twilight. “What brings you to Ponyville?” “Well, it’s kind of a long story, your highness. But long story short, we’re from another world and we’re kind of lost,” said Sly. “It sounds like a lot to take in, but I think it has something to do with this amulet.” He then showed the pony Princess the gold amulet. “Wow, the legendary Equestrian amulet. How did you find it?” asked Twilight, who was clearly fascinated. “I… uh, found in the storage room of my local museum,” lied Sly, who didn’t want Twilight to know that he was a thief. “I’ve heard of this before, but I’ll have to do some research. In the meantime, you can stay in the castle until you get back home,” said Twilight. “Thank you,” said Sly. So here we were, trapped in a world inhabited by ponies. Colorful and cute was one way to describe this world, but I think it would be nice to stay in a castle for a while. I wanted to tell Twilight that I was a thief, but I figured that I would tell her tomorrow. Besides, I wouldn’t want this princess to know she’s letting a thief live in her home. Until then, I want to see where this goes.
turning EquestrianAuthor's Note Just to be clear, the italic opening and closing is Sly's narration, kinda like the games. turning Equestrian Chapter 2 It’s pretty weird to say, but me and the gang are in a pony dominant world. Since Bentley’s Time Machine brought us here, Bentley came to the conclusion that the amulet I stole must’ve been from this world. Weird, huh? Since we needed help, we asked Princess Twilight for help, and luckily she was a straight A student back in school. She managed to find out that a pony wizard named Star Swirl the Bearded transported the amulet to our dimension as a test for a spell to send sirens to another dimension. She also said that the only way to get back home was with our Time Machine, which was damaged beyond repair. So, it looks like we’re going to need some parts to repair the van. This could be difficult, but me and my gang have been through worse. It was a nice, sunny day in Ponyville, and the cooper gang woke up after a long night’s sleep in Twilight’s guest room. “Man, that was one comfortable night,” said Sly, as he and the Cooper gang walked out of the guest room. “Bentley, do you think you can locate some parts to fix the Time Machine?” “I think I can, everything in this world is giving off a magical aura,” said Bentley. Just as they entered the map room (or whatever it’s called), they were greeted by Twilight and the rest of the mane six. “Hey guys, I hope you don’t mind but my friends want to lend a hoof in helping you get home,” said Twilight. She then introduced her friends. “This is Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and you already know Pinkie Pie.” “Nice to meet you all,” said Sly. “Don’t worry, Twilight informed us about your situation,” said Pinkie Pie. “What’s it like in your world? Just asking,” said Rainbow Dash. “Well, it’s like this world but with much taller buildings, cities around the world, and it’s mostly inhabited by anthropomorphic animals like us,” said Sly. “Also, I should just mention this now, I’m a master thief.” “Oh, but you seem rather polite, even for a thief,” said Rarity. “That’s because my family, along with my friends here, only specialized in stealing from other thieves, because there’s no honor, no challenge, and no fun in stealing from regular people,” said Sly. “Oh, I forgot to mention, I come from a long line of master thieves. So, stealing is basically the family business.” “That sounds nice, but how do you keep track of your family history?” asked Fluttershy. Sly then pulled out an old book. “With this. The thievius raccoonus. This book has been passed down from generation to generation in my family, filled to the brim with the techniques of my ancestors, including my father,” said Sly. He then started to think about his dad. “He would’ve been proud to see what I’ve become.” “I’m sure he would,” said Applejack, as the six ponies flipped through the pages of the thievius raccoonus. “Would ya look at this here fella, Tennessee ‘Kid’ Cooper. Sounds like he’s right up my alley. Not that I would live a dishonest lifestyle, no offense Sly.” “None taken,” said Sly. “Anyways, we’re going to need some help repairing our van, so you might need these.” He then handed each of the six ponies binocucoms. “These will help you see stuff at a great distance.” “I don’t know, isn’t stealing wrong?” asked Fluttershy. “Don’t worry, we will do the stealing while the rest of you do reconnaissance missions and inform us about this world,” said Sly. “Exactly, but since this world is mostly magic, we’ll need magical artifacts to power up the van so we can even get home,” said Bentley. “What’s worse is that I don’t know where we can find an engine for the van here in Ponyville.” “If it’s an engine you’re looking for, then we better mosey on down to Manehatten. They got some fancy technology that could help you,” said Applejack, who was being honest as usual. “That may be a good place to start,” said Twilight. “We better get to the train station, asap.” In Manehattan… Once the gang was in Manehattan, they began to search for an engine that would work in the Cooper gang’s van. Lucky for them, they found the engine in an old dumpster, but the engine was in great condition. “I still cannot believe that you chose to go dumpster diving,” said Rarity, in disgust. “Hey, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, or in this case engine,” said Sly. “Anyways, this’ll definitely work in the van. It’s the right size and the right type. What could possibly ruin this moment?” “How about your arrest?” said a familiar Latina voice. It was Carmelita Fox. “Did you really think that you could hide behind these adorable little ponies? Face it, Cooper, you’ll never escape the law.” “Carmelita, wait! I haven’t stolen anything, honestly. Wait, how did you end up in this world with us?” said Sly. “I grabbed onto Murray’s van before it took us here. Once it did, I was flung into the air and landed in a giant cake,” said Carmelita, as she grabbed a candle out of her hair. “I’m sorry officer, but I order you to let Sly and his friends go. By order of the princess of friendship,” said Twilight. “That’s me, by the way. It’s the reason I have wings and a horn.” “So you are of high authority. Very well, but if Cooper steals from you then I will lock him up for good,” said Carmelita. “Sly, care to introduce us to her?” asked Pinkie Pie. “Right, where are my manners? This is Inspector Carmelita Fox, she’s an old flame of mine,” said Sly. “Oh, why ever did you break up?” asked Rarity. “Probably because he’s a thief and she’s an inspector,” said Rainbow Dash. “And because I pretended to have amnesia for about eight years,” said Sly, causing the ponies to gasp. “I know, it was wrong and I regret it.” He then faced Carmelita. “Look, I’m sorry I did you any wrong, can you ever forgive me?” “You are forgiven for now, Cooper. But if you steal from these ponies, I’ll revoke my forgiveness,” said Carmelita, who wasn’t making it clear if she was sarcastic or serious. “As soon as we get back to Paris, I’ll only let you off with a warning.” “See, that’s progress. Now, don’t you two feel much better?” asked Pinkie Pie, who clearly doesn’t know how to read a room. “So, what do you need next to get back this ‘Paris’ of yours?” “Most of the stuff we found in this dumpster was what we needed, but the rest is modern technology that doesn’t exist in this dimension,” said Bentley. Suddenly, the gang started to smell a familiar stench. “Eww, what is that awful stench?” said Rarity. “Cyrille Le Paradox!” said Sly. “I recognize that stench anywhere.” The gang followed the stench cloud to an abandoned building, and, sure enough, Cyrille Le Paradox was there with what appeared to be mind controlled ponies. “What the h-e double hockey stick is going on?” asked Applejack. “I don’t know, but with this stinker involved it can’t be good,” said Sly, as the gang snuck into the building. I couldn’t believe my eyes, Cyrille Le Paradox was there in Equestria and not in prison. I guess this proved my hunch correct, we weren’t the only ones interested in magical artifacts. While we were in the building, we explained to our new hoofed friends that Le Paradox was bad news. The last time we encountered him, he tried to erase my family name from history, which ended with his arrest and me getting stuck in ancient Egypt. I thought he was done with crime, but Carmelita explained that Le Paradox had escaped prison a while back, which was the reason she was in that warehouse on the night we traveled here. As for our new friends slash recruits, they were ready to help me and my friends anyway they can. I was going to say no, but after they told me about their past adventures, which also included time travel, I decided to let them help. Luckily, they knew a few extra ponies that could help us out, but first things first we had to find out what Le Paradox was doing in Equestria. This should be fun.
go east young ponyAuthor's Note Yes, I am aware that Equestria isn't Interpol territory, but Carmalita arrested people in cia territory before, so that's why she tries to arrest sly. go east young pony Chapter 3 So things weren’t looking so good. We did manage to find the parts we needed to fix the van, but we didn’t expect to find Cyrille Le Paradox controlling an army of ponies. It turns out, he managed to escape prison and used some of the Equestria artifacts from our latest heist to travel to Equestria. Since Le Paradox lost his army after being captured, he decided to control innocent ponies here in order to make his revenge plan a reality. Talk about overkill. We managed to explain to our new pony friends who Le Paradox was, and they immediately knew that he was bad news. First he tries to erase my family history, now he’s taking over a pony world, this time Le Paradox has gone too far. It’s time to bring that filthy skunk to justice. But first things first, we’re going to need some intel. “So let me get this straight, this Le Paradox guy tried to erase your family name from history, and now he’s going to extract his revenge because you were the reason why he was in jail,” said Twilight, who was now back in the castle with everyone else. “That’s pretty much the entirety of our last adventure,” said Sly. “If we’re going to figure out what he’s up to, we’re going to need some intel.” “And how exactly do we do that?” said Rarity. “We’ll have to find a way to get the info we need from Le Paradox by sneaking into his secret headquarters,” said Bentley. “But the only way to do that is to do some reconnaissance missions. Lucky for us, we have six new friends that can help us get to Le Paradox.” “So you want us to help you get to this power hungry skunk while possibly getting killed in the process?!” asked Rainbow Dash. “We’re in. But only because you’re not a common criminal.” “You do realize that he is a thief, right?” said Carmelita. “There’s no need to be rude. Besides, Sly has shown that he can be trusted,” said Fluttershy. “We’ll help anyway we can.” “Just tell us what you need,” said Pinkie Pie. “Okay, here’s the plan…” began Bentley as he began to explain the plan to everyone. Back at Le Paradox’s secret hideout… Once the gang was at the secret hideout, they all snuck onto the rooftop. “Okay, does everyone remember the plan?” asked Sly. “Yes. Fluttershy will distract the guards with the gypsy outfit that Rarity made for her,” began Twilight, as she motioned to Fluttershy who was dressed in a gypsy outfit. “Once they're out of the way, Murray will use his strength to open the door. Then, Bentley will use his spy, remote control toy car to infiltrate the room Le Paradox is in and use it to figure out what his plan is. Once that’s done, we make our daring escape.” “Any questions?” asked Sly. “Yes, why do I have to be a distraction? Rarity’s beauty is better than mine,” said Fluttershy, who was having second thoughts about the mission. “While that is true, you look much better in green than I do, darling,” said Rarity. “Besides, the guards look like they prefer cuteness over beauty.” “Well… okay, I’ll do it, but you all owe me big time for this,” said Fluttershy, as she got into position. “Yoo-hoo, are you handsome gentlecolts ready for a show?” She then started to dance seductively (or at least what was considered seductive by pony standards), which seemed to get the attention of the two guards in front of the building. “Okay Murray, you’re up,” said Bentley. Murray tiptoed to the door, and used his might to open the door, followed by Bentley activating his remote control car. “Okay, time to get that info.” The car raced past the other guards, but it managed to reach the room Cyrille Le Paradox was in. “So, Le Paradox, what exactly is your plan for taking over equestria?” said a familiar female voice (which was at least familiar to the ponies). “Nothing severe, but it will involve those guardians of friendship you mentioned. Once those ponies are out of the way, I will finally get my revenge on Sly Cooper,” said Le Paradox. “Did I ever tell you why I hate this Sly Cooper?” “No, you have not,” said the female voice. On the roof of the building, the mane six and the Cooper gang were trying to figure out who the female was. “Well, Sly was not the only one who comes from a long line of master thieves, I too have thieving ancestry. One day, my father was going to frame Sly’s father for stealing the world’s biggest diamond, but he was too late and he was arrested instead,” said Le Paradox. “With nobody to teach me anything, I became a terrible criminal. Ever since then, I have sworn that I would get rid of the Cooper family once and for all.” “Very interesting, definitely more interesting than me losing my hive to Starlight Glimmer,” said the voice, which made the ponies realize who she was… Queen Chrysalis. “But anyways, thanks for freeing me from that statue prison.” “My pleasure, your highness,” said Le Paradox. “Now, let us discuss the rest of the plan somewhere else.” Once they left the room, the remote control car left the building. “Holy shamoly, Queen Chrysalis is alive,” said Pinkie Pie. “Let me guess, she’s an evil queen and she hates anything that’s good,” said Sly. “Pretty much,” said Twilight. “Whatever Le Paradox wants, it can’t be good if it involves Queen Chrysalis.” I had to agree with Twilight, and after she explained what Queen Chrysalis has done before I knew we were in for the fight of our lives. It turns out, she once tried to trick Twilight’s brother into marrying her. Talk about marriage fraud. Eventually, Twilight’s pupil, Starlight Glimmer, managed to turn the changelings against their former leader and Chrysalis ran into hiding. More recently, Twilight had trapped Queen Chrysalis in stone along with Tirek and a filly named Cozy Glow. I assume the former is this world’s version of the man below. We may not know much about this world, but I know two things. One, this isn’t Carmelita’s jurisdiction, and two, we are going to stop Le Paradox and Queen Chrysalis from destroying this world or any other world for that matter. Now that we have the intel we need, we can start the next phase of our plan to save Equestria.
of mares and mechsChapter 4 Now that we got the information we needed, we had to find out the next phase of the plan. Before we did that, we were gonna need some back up. Luckily, Princess Twilight knew exactly where to get the extra help. We needed to go to the Crystal Empire to recruit her brother, Shining Armor. Once we recruit him, we’ll have an army big enough to take down Le Paradox and Queen Chrysalis. Twilight said that the army would help us as long as we explain everything to them. That should be enough to convince them, considering that they almost had a wedding ruined because of Chrysalis. Funny how things work out sometimes. Once everyone and everypony was at the Crystal Empire, they entered the castle where they were greeted by Shining Armor and Princess Cadence, along with their baby, Flurry Heart. “Hey Twilly, we got your distress signal, what’s the emergency?” said Shining Armor. He then noticed the Cooper Gang. “Does it involve your new friends?” “It does, actually. An enemy from their dimension is here to destroy Equestria and their world as well. To make matters worse, he freed Queen Chrysalis from her stone prison,” said Twilight. “We’re going to need some help to figure out his plan, so we were wondering if you and Cadence would be able to help us.” “Don’t worry Twilight, we’ll do anything we can to help,” said Cadence. “Flash, watch over Flurry Heart while we’re gone.” “As you wish, your highness,” said Flash Sentry, as he took Flurry Heart to her room. “We’ll round up the rest of the guards, just tell us where to go,” said Cadence. At Le Paradox’s secret base… On the train ride to the secret base, the Cooper gang explained everything Le Paradox had done in the past. They also managed to explain why Le Paradox was doing this in the first place. “Yikes, this Le Paradox guy sounds like a lot of trouble,” said Shining Armor. “I still can’t believe his dad tried to frame your dad for stealing the world’s biggest diamond.” “It’s unbelievable, I know. I still can’t believe Queen Chrysalis’s plan was basically marriage fraud,” said Sly. “Anyways, we gotta stick to the plan because the faith of both our worlds are at risk.” “Don’t worry, we have the plan memorized,” said Pinkie Pie. “Us ponies will distract the evil guards, while Sly sneaks into the hideout to get more information about Le Paradox. Then, once we have the information, we’ll surround him and Chrysalis, and save the world.” “That’s basically a summary of the whole plan, but thanks for the recap,” said Bentley. “Quickly, everyone and everypony into position.” Once the ponies distracted the guards, Sly snuck into the hideout. He then used his binocucom to listen in on Le Paradox’s conversation with Queen Chrysalis. “So, what exactly is your major plan, Le Paradox?” asked Queen Chrysalis. “It’s quite simple,” began Le Paradox. “Once we have enough ponies to carry out the mission, we’ll travel to modern day Paris and use their magic to make me immortal. Then we’ll take over Equestria and destroy the ones that you call Celestia and Luna.” “That’s what you think Le Paradox,” whispered Sly, as he signaled to everyone that it was ambush time. “The jig’s up, Le Paradox. You’ll never take this world.” “Cooper! What are you doing here with these little horsies?” said Le Paradox. “We are ponies, and the guardians of friendship. By order of me, Princess Twilight Sparkle, I place you under arrest for fowl napping these innocent ponies and attempting to destroy Equestria,” said Twilight. “Don’t think I’ve forgotten about you, Chrysalis. The same charges apply to you.” “Oh, I’m so scared,” said Queen Chrysalis, sarcastically. “It’s not like we destroyed anypony.” “Besides, we have other plans,” said Le Paradox. “Then explain yourself, why go after Equestria instead of exacting your revenge on me, Le Paradox. What’s the deal?” asked Sly. “The deal is that I lost my army because of you, Cooper,” began Le Paradox, “so I needed a way to get revenge on you in a unique manner. That’s when I discovered those magical artifacts from this dimension, and a way to use them to travel here. Once here, I discovered Chrysalis and freed her from her stone prison, and she gave me the idea I needed to defeat you.” “What’s that?” asked Sly. “Immortality. All I needed was hate from these little ponies and what was left of Clockwerk, and now that I have all the hate energy I need, it is time to start your end,” said Le Paradox. He then activated the mechanism behind him, which transformed into a giant mechanical version of Le Paradox. “See you in Paris, Cooper!” said Le Paradox, as he entered the mechanical body, which caused him to become immortal. “Behold, the almighty, time bending, Le Paraclock.” “To Paris, Le Paraclock,” said Queen Chrysalis, as Le Paraclock picked her up and used the clock in the center of his chest to travel to modern day Paris, taking the mind controlled ponies with him. “Great, we’re too late. Now our dimensions are doomed,” said Rainbow Dash. “It’s not too late yet, we can still make it back to Paris, but we’ll need some help restoring the flow of our dimensions,” said Bentley, facing the ponies. “Hold on, you want us to travel back to your dimension and risk our lives to destroy two of the most deadly people in the entire world… we’re in,” said Pinkie Pie. “But, how exactly do we get to Paris?” “We can use the Time Machine that brought us here,” said Sly. “Who's up for a road trip?” The good news is that we managed to figure out what Le Paradox was planning, the bad news is that his plan was already in motion. He just replaced his mortal body with soulless machinery just like Clockwerk all those years ago. Lucky for us, the Time Machine was all fixed up, so we were ready to follow Le Paradox and Queen Chrysalis to modern day Paris. We figured that we might need some help, so we were glad that our new friends decided to tag along. We were about to leave this amazing new world and return to our home dimension. I’ll admit, I’m gonna miss this place, but on the other hand I’m gonna be glad that we’re finally going back home. Because now it’s time to save the world. Author's Note What will happen next, even I don't know.
The hot smell of hateChapter 5 So, Le Paradox’s latest plan had become a reality, and he and Queen Chrysalis were about to destroy our worlds, starting with Paris. Thankfully, Bentley modified the Time Machine to travel across dimensions without any artifacts required, and our first step was to head home. We knew that we would need some help, so our new friends decided to tag along for the ride. Once we got to Paris, we were stunned to see that Le Paradox had already taken over. Bentley did a little research while we introduced our pony friends to our dimension, and he found out that Le Paradox and Queen Chrysalis used their mind controlled army to take over Paris. We had to watch our back if we were going to stop them and send our friends to their home dimension. Once everyone and everypony arrived in Paris, the ponies were amazed by the beauty of the city. “Wow, this dimension of yours is awesome!” said Rainbow Dash. “But, were those banners of Le Paradox always there?” “Nope, those banners are new,” said Sly. He then faced Bentley. “Bentley, what’s going on?” “It seems that Le Paradox and Chrysalis used their army to rule over Paris. Their last known location was at the biggest national landmark in Paris… the Eiffel Tower,” said Bentley. “Not the Eiffel Tower! I don’t know what that is,” said Pinkie Pie. “What’s this tower you speak of, and why is it important?” “It’s a national treasure, and the only treasure I can’t steal, mainly because it’s too big,” said Sly. “We better get there before it’s too late.” They all got into the van, and drove to the Eiffel Tower. “Um, guys. I think we’re gonna need a plan before we confront Le Paradox,” said Murray. “You’re right, Murray. We’re going to need a way to sneak into their secret base. Lucky for us, we have magic and science on our side,” said Bentley. “Fluttershy, do you think you’re up for being a distraction again?” “I guess so, but only because you asked politely,” said Fluttershy. “Great. We’ll need you and Sly to take out the guards with a distraction, then we’ll be able to sneak and take care of the security system. Once that’s done, Sly will be able to get to Le Paradox and destroy his mechanical body. It’s almost crazy enough to work,” said Bentley. “Excellent planning Bentley, but just to ensure that the distraction works,” said Sly. “Don’t say it,” said Bentley. “ I’ma going to use my Italian accent,” said Sly, in his infamous Italian accent (emphasis on the infamous), causing the Cooper gang to groan. “I said crazy, not suicidal. Besides, you have the worst Italian accent I’ve ever heard,” said Bentley. “We could really use the extra flavor, besides I’ve heard worse accents,” said Twilight. She then used her magic to levitate pizza delivery outfits. “Rarity made these just in case.” “This’ll go great with my Italian accent,” said Sly, followed by him and Fluttershy changing into their outfits. “ Come on, Fluttershy. Time to cause a distraction.” Sly and Fluttershy walked up to the guards. “Bonjour my friends,” said Fluttershy, who was putting her French to the test (I never said that it was perfect). “We are-a here to deliver a pizza to Le Paraclock,” said Sly, in his Italian accent. “I didn’t know robots could eat pizza,” said one of the guards. “If we-a don’t deliver the pizza to him he’s-a going to be very angry,” said Sly. The guards let them into the base. Once inside, Sly and Fluttershy ditched their disguises. “Okay, let’s look for a way to get the others into the base.” “Let’s try the air vents,” said Fluttershy. She then opened the air vents, allowing the others to sneak in. “Alright, time to end this once and for all,” said Twilight. They all rushed to Le Paraclock and Chrysalis, where the final showdown was about to begin. “Chrysalis! Le Paradox! Show yourself!” Suddenly, Le Paraclock emerged from the ocean, carrying Chrysalis in his left hand. “I see you made it home with your pony friends,” said Le Paraclock, in his new robotic voice. “There is no way you can defeat me this time, Cooper. Once we take over Paris, we are going after Equestria next. All we need is for your complete and utter surrender.” “Never gonna happen, Le Paradox. Because we have friendship and family on our side, not only is it something you lack, but it’s also the greatest thing you can ever ask for,” said Sly, causing his gang to smile at him. “We get it, your friends are your power. Enough playtime, let the battle begin,” said Chrysalis. “Okay, you asked for this,” said Sly. Suddenly, the royal guard appeared, ready to attack. Speaking of which. “Attack!” The army charged at the mechanical monstrosity and the former changelings queen, using all their might to do as much damage as they possibly can. “Sly, hop on, we can defeat Le Paradox faster if we take to the sky,” said Twilight, followed by Sly hopping on to her back as she took to the sky. “Maybe if you zap his mechanical parts, it’ll give me the chance to destroy him once and for all,” said Sly, to which Twilight nodded in agreement. Twilight then started to zap Le Paraclock’s body, until he collapsed into the ocean. “He’s still powered on. Sly, this is your chance, destroy him!” said Twilight. Sly then jumped onto Le Paraclock’s body, jumping from broken body part to broken body part until he reached the head. “Destroy me if you can, Cooper, you’ll never be rid of me,” said Le Paraclock. “Maybe, but you can’t do any harm from the depths of hell,” said Sly. He used his cane to destroy Le Paraclock’s head, causing him to enter self destruct mode. “Uh oh, that’s not good.” “I got ya buddy,” said Rainbow Dash, as she grabbed Sly and flew him to safety. Suddenly, Le Paraclock exploded into a million pieces, leaving nothing but a pile of rubble. “Holy Chalupa! He exploded.” “Thanks for stating the obvious, but now let’s deal with Chrysalis,” said Sly. Luckily, they already had a plan for this. “Twilight, Cadence, time for operation Stonehenge.” “Right away, Sly,” said Twilight. The ponies all surrounded the former queen of the changelings. “Cadence, horns at the ready.” Cadence nodded. “You’re kidding right?” said Chrysalis. Suddenly, Cadence and Twilight used their magic into stone once more. “May I?” asked Sly. “Be our guest,” said Twilight. Sly then used his cane to shatter Chrysalis into a million pieces, ensuring that she will never return ever again. “That’s the last we’ll ever see of them.” Once everyone and everypony went back to the Time Machine (and sent the mind controlled ponies home), they all said their goodbyes to each other. “It was nice working with you,” said Twilight, as she and Sly fist bumped. “We’ll never forget you.” “Right back at ya,” said Sly, followed by Bentley sending the ponies back to their world. And with that, our magical adventure came to a close. We met so many amazing ponies, and learned so much from them that I didn’t want it to end. But as the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Everything was going to be okay… until I remembered about Carmelita. I thought for sure she was going to arrest us right then and there, but she was true to her word and left us with a warning. After that, me and my friends set out to find the greatest treasures we could find around the world. After all, friendship truly is the greatest gift. The End Go outside. Author's Note That last part is a reference to sly 2 band of thieves. Also, I wouldn’t be a sly fan if I didn’t use the infamous Italian accent.
