Rarity and Sweetie Belle were just exiting the front door of Canterlot High as they waited for someone.

"Glad we're going to spend time together, Rarity." Sweetie Belle smiled.

"Not in the way I expected though." Rarity noted, leaving Sweetie Belle confused before she realized something with a gasp.

"We're going on a ninja adventure?!" Sweetie Belle guessed in excitement.

"Love the enthusiasm, but please calm yourself." Rarity giggled.

"Rarity, come on." Karai urged from the distance.

"No need to rush her, Karai." Adagio added, also in the distance.

"Come on, Sweetie Belle." Rarity said.

"Okay!" Sweetie Belle smiled as she and her sister got to Adagio and Karai.

"Got the voice disguiser, Adagio?" Karai asked.

"You bet." Adagio nodded.

'Hope Rarity brought the bracelets." Karai noted.

"I have them, but I hope Bentley can upgrade them." Rarity added.

"We going somewhere?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Whoa, she's coming? If Carmelita sees her, she'll rip us apart." Adagio warned.

"I promised her we'd spend time together. Besides, my parents are out of town." Rarity explained.

"Okay, and since you two go to the same high-school, let’s just hope she isn’t considered a kid." Karai sighed.

"Let's get moving. Sly said this was an emergency." Rarity said before a portal opened, except it wasn't sucking anyone in.

"That's our ride." Adagio noticed.

"Wow! I wonder what'll happen when we get through." Sweetie thought aloud.

Meanwhile, Sly was pacing nervously.

"Sly, they'll be here." Bentley assured.

"Sorry, guess that Clockwerk being alive's still on my mind." Sly admitted.

"Hope they'll take it easy." Murray added before a portal opened up.

"It worked!" Bentley whooped as the Beauty Trio landed safely.

"I actually missed having this body." Rarity smiled while looking at her before someone else came out of the portal.

"Here comes Sweetie Belle." Adagio noted as a teen female snow leopard was revealed, 2 years younger than Rarity.

"Wow!" Sweetie Belle awed.

"This your little sister, Rarity?" Sly noticed.

Rarity: Yes, Sly. This is Sweetie Belle.

"Hey, there." Sly greeted.

"Wow! Are you Sly Cooper?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"That's me. I bet my friends don't need an introduction." Sly noted.

"Bentley and Murray?!" Sweetie Belle asked.

"That's us." Bentley confirmed.

"Hi." Murray waved as Sweetie Belle jumped around in excitement before her paws fluffed out.

"So what's the job, Sly? Stealing the Wright Brothers plane from an illegal collector?" Adagio guessed.

"No, of course not." Sly answered while he secretly signaled to Bentley to hide the plans.

"What is it, then?" Rarity asked.

"Well, we're gonna steal a bunch of stuff, then destroy it." Sly informed.

"That's a strange thing to do as a thief." Karai noted.

"It's... The Clockwerk Parts." Sly replied as silence whistled through the air.

"What?" The Beauty Trio asked in complete shock.

"The Clockwerk parts are in a museum, completely unscathed and intact." Sly explained.

"But how?!" Rarity gasped.

"I don't know but we got steal them and destroy them." Sly clarified.

"Count us in." Adagio said without hesitation as Sly smiled, knowing he could count on his friends.

"Can I help?" Sweetie Belle asked while holding Sly's cane.

"Sly, if the police sees her we'll get in trouble for child endangerment." Bentley warned.

"Hey! I’m a teen!" Sweetie Belle pointed out.

"Though younger than us." Bentley responded.

"Not bad, kid. You took my cane blind and I didn’t even know you were there." Sly noted.

"How about we just have her do jobs we know she won't be spotted." Karai suggested.

"Well, good news is we know where the pieces are." Murray informed.

"Alright, let's go get them!" Karai declared.

"Hold it, Karai. We need to formulate a plan to get the parts." Bentley informed.

"Bentley's right. This is a job where Bentley and Murray are coming onto the field." Sly agreed.

"Really?" Rarity asked.

"You bet!" Murray nodded as he came out from a room wearing gloves and a mask.

"You look like some kind of wrestler." Adagio noticed.

"Perfect. Exactly what I was going for." Murray smirked while flexing.

"I better go see what Carmelita is up to. Might smart for to be a step ahead of her." Rarity noted.

"Agreed." Bentley nodded.

"I'll go with." Sweetie Belle volunteered.

"Absolutely not. If Carmelita sees you, it qualifies as Child Endangerment." Rarity denied.

"She's right. And Carmelita doesn't really see logic when she's mad." Sly agreed.

"How’s this, I’ll go with Rarity." Adagio replied as Rarity was more relieved at that choice.

An hour later, Rarity was in the police station disguised as an officer.

"Everything alright, Diamond?" Adagio asked on the comm.

"Really, Darling? Michelangelo stuff?" Rarity softly deadpanned.

"Hey, this is serious spy work." Adagio pointed out on the comm.

"Alright. Diamond here. Go ahead, Melody." Rarity responded.

"Close to Big Vixen’s office?" Adagio asked on the comm as Rarity found Carmelita working in her office

"Yes." Rarity softly confirmed as Carmelita was ranting on the other side of the door.

"Grr! Where is she? I know I’m doing this as a favor, but…" Carmelita groaned while Rarity watched as a new officer entered the room. Now that Rarity payed attention, it was a female violet bengal tiger in Indian clothes.

"Who's that?" Adagio asked on the comm while spying via Binoc-U-Com.

"Someone from this world's India, that's for certain. Possibly from an Interpol branch there?" Rarity softly informed as Carmelita and the new officer started talking.

"State your name." Carmelita requested.

"My name is Neyla Sundari. Rank, constable." The tigress answered as Adagio zoomed in and looked at Neyla.

"Guess Carmelita has a new friend." Adagio noted as Rarity noticed Neyla's choice of weapon.

"I'm getting out of here." Rarity said.

"Diamond, what happened?" Adagio asked.

"Carmelita is in a bad mood and I don't need her recognizing me." Rarity replied.

"You sure?" Adagio asked on the comm before seeing Carmelita incinerate a police photo of Sly. "'Nuff said, then."

As the pair ran off, Neyla was showing Carmelita her special papers. "I heard you had a run in with some members of my clan and they outsmarted you."

"What?" Carmelita asked with a glare as Neyla threw a shuriken, showing her Foot Clan.

"Wanna nab them, gotta trust the enemy." Neyla smugly advised with legs on the desk.

"What's your game here?" Carmelita growled.

"I help you nab your raccoon boyfriend & his playmates and you help me with my Klaww Gang case." Neyla teased.

"He is not!" Carmelita angrily responded as Neyla snickered at her fury.

"I'm offering you the means to nab him and more wanted criminals. And the perfect bait to start with." Neyla said as she threw photos of the Clockwerk parts to Carmelita.

"Why would they be after the Clockwerk parts?" Carmelita asked.

"That's what we're going to find out. Truce?" Neyla offered with a handshake.

"Fine." Carmelita answered with an annoyed sigh while outside the building, as Adagio and Rarity headed back to the hideout, a single playing card, a Jack of Diamonds, flew through the air, with the two being unaware of a dark omen.
