Back in Paris

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.

A Shadow from the Past

A Shadow from the Past

In Cairo, Egypt, at the Museum of Natural History, figures ran across the rooftops before four figures slide down a rope, revealed to be Sly Cooper and the Beauty Trio.

"Okay, we're in the main hall." Karai noted.

"Let's see what Bentley has to say." Rarity added as the four brought out their Binoc-U-Coms.

"Breaker Alpha Foxtrot this is the wizard, do you and Three Fates read me Sitting Duck?" Bentley asked on the Binoc-U-Coms.

"This is Peking Duck, I hear you Blizzard." Sly answered.

"No Sly, I'm "the Wizard" and you're "Sitting Duck."" Bentley pointed out on the Binoc-U-Coms.

"I read you loud and clear Lizard." Sly responded.

"No I'm... forget it, you're not taking this seriously." Bentley deadpanned on the Binoc-U-Coms

"Yeah, I'm not. Look Bentley, I know this is your first time out in the field, but you've got to loosen up. If we're going to get to those Clockwerk Parts, we need you on your toes." Sly advised before Karai cleared her throat, shaking her tail.

"Sorry. Poor choice of words." Sly apologized.

"Anyway, what's your status?" Adagio asked.

"Well, I've established myself the basement and I'm pretty sure I can rewire the service elevator if you can power it up from that security station." Bentley informed on the Binoc-U-Coms.

"Hang tough pal, it might take some time, but we'll figure out a way to get up there." Sly said.

"I'm here in the van on police look out." Sweetie Belle pointed out on the comms in boredom.

"Sweetie Belle, we went over this, you're staying safe from the police in here." Rarity explained.

"Come on, Rarity. This way." Adagio said as the group jumped up a trampoline and onto a whale skeleton.

"This feels wrong for multiple reasons." Rarity dreaded.

"You'll get used to it." Adagio responded as the four went across the skeleton and jumped onto the security station from the tail before Sly pulled a switch.

"Where are the guards?" Karai asked.

"Further ahead probably." Sly noted.

"Okay, I've spliced the wires-Ouch! Hold on, there it is." Bentley said on the comes as the elevator came up with the doors opened, revealing Bentley in some gear while wielding a crossbow with darts as ammo.

"Nice weapon, Bentley. Suitable for someone of your talents." Rarity noted as Bentley came out of the elevator.

"Well, more safe than sorry for me." Bentley responded.

"I'll go with Bentley to back him up." Karai volunteered.

"The computer’s not that far, really." Bentley pointed out.

"I don't mind. Safety in numbers." Karai shrugged as Bentley walked over to the computer.

"Okay okay, let me at that security computer. *Begins hacking computer with one hand easily before the spotlights turned off* The spotlights are offline… *Continues hacking before the lasers receded* There goes the laser security system. I’m working on the security gate. *Keeps hacking before the gate raised* Presto, all clear." Bentley said, having finished his job.

"Thanks pal, for your first time out you did pretty well." Sly noticed.

"We better find Murray." Adagio said.

"Oh this operation is far from complete. Now that the lasers and spotlights are offline, Murray should be moving into position for your rendezvous. I’ll stay here and provide computer support while you go on ahead." Bentley informed as Karai found a good place to guard Bentley before the others went ahead with the three moving forward, then right. "*On speakers with a gruff voice* Uh, attention all guards. This is the network administrator. We're installing some new software into the security mainframe, so don't be alarmed if some systems get turned off for a while. Uh, thank you. You're all doing a great job."

"Seriously?" Karai deadpanned as the three went right again, then left.

"You have something better?" Bentley asked.

"Fair enough." Karai responded as the three were soon on a balcony before bringing out their Binoc-U-Coms.

"According to my information the Clockwerk parts are being stored up there…" Bentley informed on the Binoc-U-Coms as the three saw a building to the left quite a ways from where they are.

"How'd these parts even end up in this museum?" Rarity asked.

"I haven’t looked into that yet. Now to get access you’re gonna have to meet up with Murray at the rendezvous point… Unfortunately the route through the garden is filled with guards." Bentley explained on the Binoc-U-Coms.

"No problem, we’ll just take the long way around." Sly assured.

"And equally fun way." Adagio agreed as Sly and the two she-cats started running across the ropes, avoiding detection before getting onto another balcony.

"Murray must've gotten lost along the way. Try pressing on ahead without him." Bentley noted on the comms.

"I seriously hope the big guy is okay." Adagio said.

"Thunder Flop!" A voice cried out as Murray suddenly crashed through the ceiling window and on the ground. "Greetings citizens. I hope you all weren't harmed by my meteoropic entrance."

"No Murray, we kept at a safe distance." Sly responded.

"That was totally awesome!" Adagio awed.

"Good, good... And thank you. The Thunder Flop knows neither friend nor foe, only destruction." Murray explained.

"I'm definitely loving this new Murray style." Adagio smiled.

"Yeah, could you maybe channel some of that “raw energy" into this security gate?" Sly requested.

"Of course, it is nothing before “The Murray.”" Murray declared as he went to work and started lifting the gate before he soon got it all the way up. "Okay, all clear." Murray assured as the three got through and went onto a balcony before Murray caught up with them while letting the gate lower. "Another barrier stands before you... Fear not, I shall bend it like the truth." Murray said before he stomped while grabbing a bust before throwing it at a door, shattering it open.

"Solid work Murray, you're really in the zone." Sly noticed.

"I missed you, big guy." Adagio said.

"My hulking frame is too much for that puny rope. You guys go on ahead and unlock the doors from the inside. I'll be waiting in the hallway to help you carry out the Clockwerk Parts." Murray explained.

"Rarity, you go with Sly. I'll hang with Murray." Adagio volunteered.

"Alright." Rarity nodded as she and Sly ran across the rope and went inside and towards the room, only to find no Clockwerk pieces. "Darling, you sure we're in the right place?"

"I don't get it, guys. The Clockwerk Parts should be here! This is all wrong! We need to pull the plug on this operation right now!" Bentley urged on the comms before the two sarcophagus opened up, revealing Carmelita and Neyla.

"Freeze, Cooper!" Carmelita ordered.

"Inspector Fox... as beautiful and unpredictable as ever." Sly noted.

"Whereas you crooks are sooo predictable, you always return to the scene of the crime." Carmelita scoffed.

"Crime? My friend and I haven't stolen anything... yet." Sly pointed out.

"Now let's just calmly talk about this and do anything rash." Rarity advised.

"Oh really? Then who broke in last night and made off with all the Clockwerk Parts? You've got the motive." Carmelita questioned.

"Someone already stole the parts!?" Sly asked in shock.

"Wait, we didn't have the opportunity! We got here two days ago." Rarity tried to explain.

"Don't play dumb with me." Carmelita growled.

"It might not have been him and his friends, Carmelita. The method of entry and guard casualties all point to this being a Klaww Gang job." Neyla explained.

"The Klaww Gang?" Sly repeated, raising an eyebrow.

"Hey, we don't kill!" Rarity informed.

"Constable Neyla, I allowed you to sit in on this stakeout as a favor to the Contessa... I really don't need any help." Carmelita said.

"Oh, I think you might. Look at the facts." Neyla pointed out.

"Facts!? Sly Cooper is right here! I caught him and his buddies red-handed." Carmelita insisted.

"You mean after they snuck away?" Neyla noted.

"Quiet!" Carmelita growled as Sly and Rarity were sneaking up the staircase.

"I'm just saying that there are other criminals in the world other than-" Neyla tried to explain before Carmelita noticed the two.

"Sly Cooper! After him!" Carmelita urged

"Run!" Rarity yelped before two started running as Carmelita jumped after them.

"You can't run forever!" Carmelita said as the two dodged her blasts before Murray and Adagio came out and joined them.

"Oh geez...! Wait up, guys!" Murray urged.

"I hate it when Carmelita is mad at us!" Adagio groaned.

"Shake a leg, you two. It's time to go!" Sly declared as the four kept running while Carmelita kept firing.

"Stop thieves!" Carmelita ordered as Bentley and Karai joined the group.

"This wasn't part of the plan!" Bentley pointed out as Karai leapt onto Murray and held on tight.

"Yeah, well, this is where things get fun." Sly said.

"Just run!" Rarity urged.

"Freeze!" Carmelita yelled while still chasing the six fleeing thieves.

"Sly, this is getting a bit tight!" Karai informed.

"Yeah, this is gettin' a little hot. You guys go warm up the van, I'll keep Carmelita busy." Sly said.

"Nice knowing you." Karai deadpanned.

"You're all going to jail!" Carmelita declared.

"Pick me up at the rendezvous!" Sly informed as Murray rushed for the van with Karai still tied to him.

"Be careful!" Bentley said before following after Murray as the other three broke through a window before police cars on the ground arrived with blaring sirens. and spinning blue/red lights.

"Move it or lose it, boys!" Adagio shouted as Carmelita broke through a different window before aiming at the three.

"Hold still!" Carmelita ordered while still firing.

"As my friend Applejack would say... You got the aim of a crossed-eyed armadillo." Karai yelled from the distance as that made Carmelita more angry before she started shooting more rapidly as the three ran across the rope.

"Hey, come back here, Ringtail!" Carmelita growled as the trio kept running before while they crossed another rope with Carmelita leaping after them before they started sliding down pipes.

"I'm heading toward your positions! Jump in fast so we can get outta here!" Murray informed on the comms before his van arrived and pulled over with the back opening up.

"You lose again, Darling." Rarity quipped when the trio got off the pipe rails and into the van as the back door closed before driving off.

"I'll find you, Cooper." Carmelita sweared when the van took a sharp right before driving off as she busted through a fence before seeing that they escaped, pounding a fist on the ground.

"Carmelita's just as angry as ever. *Looks at the right mirror, seeing Carmelita in the distance reflection* She's really quite lovely when she's angry." Sly smiled.

"That's Inspector Fox you're scared of?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Afraid so, Sweetie Belle." Rarity answered.

"Where are the parts?" Karai questioned before Sly remembered something.

"That Constable Neyla. Was her reference to the Klaww Gang just a slip of the tongue, or an intentional clue?" Sly noted.

"Probably the latter." Rarity added.

"Either way, it’s our only lead on the missing Clockwerk Parts." Sly admitted.

"What's the big deal about these parts?" Sweetie Belle wondered.

"…Clockwerk. He was consumed with jealousy for the Cooper Clan’s thieving reputation. He created the Foot Clan of this world to destroy the Hamato Clan. Is it inappropriate to refer to him as a monster? No, not at all. What kind of person stays alive for hundreds of years with the expressed intention of wiping out a rival’s family line and clan? Imagine the hatred fueling that first decision to replace his mortal body with soulless machinery. Ultimately, it did the trick. Clockwerk lived on. He caught up with my parents, and I wound up in an orphanage. It’s there that I met my pals, Bentley, the brains of our outfit, and Murray, the brawn. They turned out to be all the family I needed. Two months ago, I thought I finished it. How naive to think I could so easily put an end to that kind of hatred. And now he’s back. In pieces, sure, but the threat is real. Does the Klaww Gang even realize what they’ve stolen?" Sly noted.

"Doubtful. They probably just know what parts are beneficial for their operations." Karai responded.

"I don’t know what’s in my future, but I won’t let it be a repeat of my past." Sly vowed.

"Don't worry. We'll help you find those parts and destroy them." Rarity assured.

"Thanks, guys. We'll need all the help we need for this." Sly smiled.

"Let's get to first part and fast." Adagio declared as the van drove off into the night.

"You know the first member?" Adagio checked.

"Yeah, but we had to call in a few favors to get the goods on the Klaww Gang's local operator." Sly said as Bentley typed in the info.

"Who is it?" Rarity asked.

"Dimitri, a sort of underworld celebrity, equally home at high-class art circles and shady back-alley crimes." Sly answered.

"A double threat?" Adagio noted.

"One could say that. He was once a passionate young art student who worked hard to develop his own visionary style." Sly began.

"That's an odd, yet humble beginning." Karai admitted.

"Unfortunately, the art world wasn't quite ready for his "kinetic aesthetic". So he gave them what they wanted and started forging old masterpieces, his way of punishing those with bad taste." Sly explained.

"Wait, he copies paintings?" Sweetie Belle noticed.

"In a way, yeah. Anyway, Dimitri now runs a nightclub on the westside. The thumping music, colorful light shows, and a hint of danger lure in chic young patrons from far and wide. And it's here, hidden somewhere, where we'll find the Clockwerk Tailfeathers. What Dimitri plans to do with the Clockwerk part is beyond me, but those plans end tonight." Sly declared with a gleam from his cane as Murray pulled down his right glove and Bentley cocking his crossbow, the Cooper Gang ready to head out.

"Couldn't have said it better myself, darling." Rarity agreed, giving her kama a spin in her hands as Adagio pulled her kusanagi sword out of its sheath a bit, making it give off a gleam, while Karai put on her mask and Sweetie Belle flared her paws out with her nekode finger nail claws equipped, prepared to make their move.

The Beauty Trio, Sweetie Belle,

Satellite Sabotage/Breaking and Entering

Sweetie Belle was training as she sliced a training dummy to pieces.

"She has potential, Rarity." Sly noted.

"Still, I’m worried about her." Rarity admitted.

"Can't baby her forever, Rares. Gotta let her do it herself." Sly advised as Karai showed up.

"Guys, Bentley wants to see us." Karai advised as she and the trio ran up to Bentley's work place.

"So did you find anything?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah, as I’m sure Sly will help explain it." Bentley said.

"You know the first member?" Adagio checked.

"Yeah, but we had to call in a few favors to get the goods on the Klaww Gang's local operator." Sly said as Bentley typed in the info.

"Who is it?" Rarity asked.

"Dimitri, a sort of underworld celebrity, equally home at high-class art circles and shady back-alley crimes." Sly answered.

"A double threat?" Adagio noted.

"One could say that. He was once a passionate young art student who worked hard to develop his own visionary style." Sly began.

"That's an odd, yet humble beginning." Karai admitted.

"Unfortunately, the art world wasn't quite ready for his "kinetic aesthetic". So he gave them what they wanted and started forging old masterpieces, his way of punishing those with bad taste." Sly explained.

"Wait, he copies paintings?" Sweetie Belle noticed.

"In a way, yeah. Anyway, Dimitri now runs a nightclub on the westside. The thumping music, colorful light shows, and a hint of danger lure in chic young patrons from far and wide. And it's here, hidden somewhere, where we'll find the Clockwerk Tailfeathers. What Dimitri plans to do with the Clockwerk part is beyond me, but those plans end tonight." Sly declared with a gleam from his cane as Murray pulled down his right glove and Bentley cocking his crossbow, the Cooper Gang ready to head out.

"Couldn't have said it better myself, darling." Rarity agreed, giving her kama a spin in her hands as Adagio pulled her kusanagi sword out of its sheath a bit, making it give off a gleam, while Karai put on her mask and Sweetie Belle flared her paws out with her nekode finger nail claws equipped, prepared to make their move.

"Let's get those feathers." Sly smiled as everyone left the hideout.

Soon, the group were at another hideout in the westside of Paris as Sly, Rarity and Karai headed out and onto the hideout’s roof.

"Gotta admit, I missed the sights of this world." Karai said.

"I wonder if our Paris is like this. But let’s see what’s on the agenda." Rarity giggled as the trio brought out their Binocucoms.

"I tell ya Bentley, it’s going to be a real pleasure robbing this nightclub." Sly admitted.

"And knocking down an art forger." Rarity added.

"I share your enthusiasm, but before we hit the inside we’ll need to do a little reconnaissance work." Bentley informed on the binocucoms.

"Alright, Bentley. Where's our entry point?" Karai asked.

"Yeah, what’d ya have in mind?" Sly agreed.

"I’ve installed this special antenna on the safe house to help with our first job, hacking into Dimitri’s satellite array. The coordinates for the job start beacon have been uploaded to your binocucoms. Make your way to this position and I’ll give you a full briefing on our objective." Bentley answered on the binocucoms.

"We’re on our way." Sly nodded.

"Simple enough." Rarity noted as the trio jumped across rooftops and walked across rope lights before arriving at the rendezvous and bringing their binocucoms back out.

"Guys, I need you to hack into Dimitri’s communication array so that we’ll have access to his database." Bentley briefed on the binocucoms

"Just tell us what to do, Bentley." Karai pointed out.

"Karai has a point. How are we supposed to do that?" Sly added.

"To start, you’ll need to get to the top of that tower. Then reposition the satellite dish to point at my safe house antenna. Try climbing up that pipe." Bentley explained on the binocucoms.

"Right, we’re on it." Sly nodded.

"Might be hard for me." Karai noticed.

"Well, it's not exactly close to the tower wall." Sly explained.

"We can manage. We're always doing well." Rarity said as the trio climbed up the pole before Sly pressed some buttons on the control panel, making the satellite dish lower, then started communicating with the safe house antenna.

"Great, the first one's in position. There's two more, as I've uploaded the next satellite dish location into your binocucoms." Bentley informed on the comms.

"Girls, let's split up and cover more ground." Sly suggested.

"What about you?" Rarity asked.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on this one." Sly assured.

"Let's go, Rarity." Karai declared.

"Very well." Rarity nodded as the duo headed out, moving across rooftops before soon finding another satellite dish. "I got it." Rarity said while activating her Grapple Bracelt, firing it into the computer, hacking it as the satellite dish aimed and transmitted to the safe house antenna.

"Okay, only one more to go. Remember, the view is always better from the rooftop." Bentley added on the comms.

"Easy climb." Karai noted.

"Good luck." Rarity said before Karai headed out as she jumped across rooftops before soon reaching the satellite dish.

"And without legs." Karai quipped as she pressed some buttons, hacking the computer and aiming the satellite at the antenna before all three powered it up with the antenna gaining information from the nightclub's antenna. "Getting stuff, Bentley?" Karai asked while putting on her binocucom as she could tell Sly and Rarity put theirs on too.

"Nice work guys… I’m downloading from Dimitri’s mainframe as we speak!" Bentley confirmed on the binocucoms.

"All in a night’s work." Sly shrugged on the binocucoms.

"Need anything else?" Rarity asked on the binocucoms.

"Your next job is to break into the Nightclub and take some reconnaissance photos of the Clockwerk Tailfeathers." Bentley answered on the binocucoms.

"That sounds easy." Karai responded.

"To get inside you’ll have to sneak through an old wine cellar beneath town." Bentley explained on the binocucoms.

"Okay, we’ll head out for the cellar." Sly assured on the binocucoms.

"See if there's any Sake in there." Adagio requested on the binocucoms.

"Funny you should mention that." Bentley noted on the binocucoms.

"Huh?" Adagio asked in confusion on the binocucoms as Karai took off her binocucom before making her way to the cellar entrance door, meeting up with Sly and Rarity.

"Through here." Sly said.

"What? Did you forget to invite me?" A familiar voice quipped.

"Visamo." Sly smiled as the trio turned around, indeed seeing Visamo.

"It's been a while, guys." Visamo noted.

"Hey, Visamo." Karai greeted.

"Glad to see my friends are doing well." Visamo said.

"Come along, Darling. We have work to do." Rarity replied as the four went inside, soon meeting up with Murray and Adagio.

"Good to see you little buddies. I guess the way through the wine cellar is guarded by those rats. Bentley thought you might like some help clearing ‘em out." Murray explained.

"So just leave it to the two of us." Adagio said, confidently.

"Actually, this sounds like fun. All of us, back to back…" Sly noticed.

"Totally! Outnumbered… fighting impossible odds… it’s perfect!" Murray agreed.

"I missed you, Murray." Karai chuckled.

"I can understand that." Adagio giggled.

"Alright everyone, let’s get to it." Sly said as everyone followed him inside.

"Fear the Murray!" Murray declared as a brawl then started before a big group of rats charged at them.

"Come on, boys!" Adagio taunted in her fighting stance before she slashed a trio of rats coming at her, knocking them unconscious.

"Save some for me!" Murray said as he punched some rats, knocking them down and out.

"Come on, ladies." Sly responded as he sweeped two rats with his cane, then sliced down two more with his sais, knocking them out cold.

"Wanna try me, boys?" Karai quipped as she gave a whiplash with her tail, knocking a duo of rats back.

"Darlings, we got an important job to do." Rarity pointed out as she summoned her shields before some rats crashed into them before she cut them with her kama, beating them.

"Bentley has the easy job." Visamo noted as the he spat venom at a rat, making him cover his eyes in pain before the samar cobra attacked the rat, making him fall unconscious. Soon all the enemies were beaten.

"Glad you ladies weren't slacking off." Sly smiled.

"Hold on guys... *Heads towards something* I'll lower the bars for ya. *Lifts that something, lowering an upper gate* There you go. To get over this thing you'll have to help each other. *Pushes that something fully up, completely lowering the upper gate* Looks like you guys are on your own from here." Murray said.

"Ah, we're used to it. Thanks for the help." Sly responded in gratitude.

"I'll stay with Murray in case more Rats come." Adagio volunteered.

"Are you certain?" Rarity asked.

"Of course." Adagio nodded.

"Well, thanks for helping us out." Karai said.

"Yeah, really appreciate it." Visamo agreed.

"Anytime buddies." Murray replied as the four helped each other get over the lowered gate.

"Chili Dogs?" Adagio challenged.

"Extra Cheese?" Murray added.

"You're on." Adagio smirked.

The four got past a gate of lasers before encountering a seemingly impenetrable one.

"Guys, in order to get past these lasers, you need to crawl under that table." Bentley informed on the comms.

"That's not a problem for me." Karai said as she slithered past under the table, getting past the laser gate. "Not even a challenge."

"I hear that." Visamo agreed, having slithered under the table too.

"Focus on the job. It's too important." Rarity said.

"They know." Sly pointed out while crawling under the table.

"Why would Dimitri needs the the Tail feathers specifically?" Rarity asked before she crawled under the table, meeting up with the others.

"We’ll find out soon enough." Sly assured as the group crawled under another table, getting past another laser gate as they soon saw a big guard with a big firearm and flashlight.

"These flashlight guards are too tough to fight head-on. Crawl under the tables to sneak around him." Bentley explained on the comms.

"Alright, I guess stealth is needed here." Karai noted as the four crawled under the table one at a time, getting past the guard before finding another one, moving the flashlight left and right. "Time for my venom." Karai said as she avoided the flashlight while getting under the table and she turned her head towards the big guard. "Surprise." Karai quipped as she spat venom, blinding the guard’s eyes while allowing her and the others to get past him before reaching an open vent.

"This air vent leads into Dimitri’s Nightclub." Bentley informed on the comms.

"Disgusting." Rarity gagged.

"Come on, it’s not that hard." Sly said as he crawled into the air vent easily.

"Hard, I believe. Sanitary, definitely not." Rarity argued.

"Hey, you don’t have time to be picky at times like this." Karai pointed out as she slithered into into air vent, following Sly. Rarity then jumped in, hoping not to run into vermin. "Let’s go." Karai urged, letting Rarity pass her before following the snow leopard as everyone got out the other end of the vent, seeing a yellow laser gate protected by another warthog guard.

"In order to shut down those yellow lasers, you’ll need to take down that guard. Sneak up behind him and knock him into the air, then slam and knock him out." Bentley explained on the comms before Sly got the idea as he snuck up behind the guard.

"Go for it." Rarity nodded as Sly knocked the guard up into the air then slammed him on the ground with his cane, knocking the enemy out cold.

"Nice one." Karai smiled as the yellow lasers deactivated.

"Thank goodness." Rarity said in relief.

"Let's keep going." Karai said as the group moved forward while slipping past a laser gate.

" That sneak attack slam move only works on guards who haven't seen any of you. Wait until this guy turns his back, and then let him have it!" Bentley advised on the comms.

"Wish we had room for my Spiderweb Trick." Rarity sighed.

"I got this one." Visamo volunteered.

"After you." Sly replied while the guard turned around as Visamo sneaked up behind him before sweeping him into the air with his tail before before grabbing him with said tail and slammed into the ground, knocking the enemy out.

"Come on." Visamo called out as the group entered a room, seeing a few rat guards.

"If you get in a fight with those rats, the sneak attack won't work. It's purely a stealth move." Bentley warned on the comms.

"I know, Bentley." Sly said.

"So how do we take care of this?" Karai asked.

"Like we always do." Sly answered as the four faded into the shadows, ready to take out the rat guards one by one.

"Excuse me, boys." Rarity called out, coming out in changed clothes.

"Huh?" The rat guards noticed in confusion.

"Could you help a delicate flower like me out?" Rarity requested, revealing to be in a beautiful dress, getting the rat guards smitten with her straight away. "I'm trying to find the wash room but I seem to have gotten lost." Rarity said, really getting the rats’ attention as they were more than happy to help while Sly and the others got ready for Rarity's signals while she took her compact mirror out. "Oh dear, my mascara is running." Rarity feigned worry before she started heading out as the rats followed her. Sly waited before one passed by him and nabbed the rat guard, causing another rat guard turned around, thinking he heard something, but saw nothing as he shrugged and went back to following Rarity.

"Any of you boys have a hairbursh?" Rarity asked, making the rats worry as they searched their pockets before Karai threw one close to her hiding spot and a rat guard saw it. Said rat guard went over to the hairbrush and picked up as a shadow passed over him, only for the rat guard to have vanished with the hairbrush on the floor. "Never mind, I found mine in my bag." Rarity shrugged as she kept going before purposely dropping a lipstick roll away in secret. "My lipstick!" Rarity gasped as a rat guard noticed and went after it.

"That's right." Visamo smirked as the rat guard was about to pick the lipstick up, he heard that before he was dragged into the shadows.

"What was that?!" The rat guard gasped.

"What was what, darling?" Rarity asked, feigning confusion as she switched her compact mirror to knock out gas.

"Is something wrong?" The rat guard checked.

"Nighty-night." Rarity quipped as she walked away while pressing the button on a device and dropping it, making the device release the gas. "Sleep tight." Rarity finished as the remaining rat guards fell asleep from the gas. "All clear." Rarity called out as Sly, Karai and Visamo came out of the shadows as Rarity changed back into her normal outfit.

"Why did you get the easy job?" Karai asked.

"Because I'm beautiful." Rarity answered.

"Are you saying that because I'm a snake?" Karai deadpanned.

"No, because I have legs." Rarity responded.

"Sounds like you're mocking me." Karai hissed.

"Girls, focus. And if we were mock you, Karai, we'd bring up you needing to cling to Murray in cold weather." Sly pointed out smugly as Karai blushed in embarrassment at that before he went onto the stage and broke an air vent's grates.

"Aha! Another air vent! Judging by that angle, it should lead to the printing press room." Bentley calculated on the comms.

"I'll go in." Karai volunteered.

"You sure?" Visamo checked.

"Absolutely." Karai confirmed.

"Well, don't get caught." Sly advised.

"You're talking to a kunoichi." Karai giggled as she slithered into the vents and soon came out, falling into a bigger vent. "So far, so good."

"Jackpot! The heart of Dimitri's operation. Head for those windows and take some reconnaissance photos." Bentley requested on the comm.

"I'm on it, Bentley." Karai replied as she brought out her binocucom and looked around the place through the windows, seeing plenty of stuff before noticing Dimitri and took a picture of him.

"That's our target, Dimitri, professional lounge lizard and international forger." Bentley confirmed on the comm.

"Yuck! And he's a smoker." Karai gagged before she noticed a warning label on something and took a picture of it.

"That generator seems to be powering the security systems down here." Bentley noticed.

"Useful information." Karai said as she then saw the Clockwerk Tailfeathers having double-barreled dollar signs on one side of them while being used as part of a money printer and took a picture of the parts and the machine.

"Ingenious! Dimitri is using the Clockwerk Tailfeathers as printing plates. Given their rare alloy, they'll never wear out. Unlimited forged money!" Bentley explained on the comm.

"That explains the reasons why the Tailfeathers specifically." Karai noted.

"That should do it, Karai. Get the others, head back to the warehouse and we'll cook up a plan of attack." Bentley said on the comm.

"I'm on it." Karai nodded as she then slithered away, heading back to the others.

Bug Dimitri's Office/Follow Dimitri

Bug Dimitri's Office/Follow Dimitri

In the safe house, a presentation was going on as Bentley was showing a picture slideshow. "The recon photos are a grim reminder of what the modern thief is up against. *Draws arrows in spotlights* Spotlights, *Underlines flashlight guards* stepped up patrols, *Circles the peacock sigh before scribbling it out* the sum of it all renders a direct assault impossible. To solve this puzzle, I’m going to need some more intelligence. *Circles a painting in one picture, and draws an arrow to an office in the next* First, replace this bugged painting with one Dimitri has in his office. *Draws lines on painting in a picture, and radio waves on the next* Once in place, we should be able to listen in on his communications. *Circles Dimitri* Second, if you see the boss, tail him. We might learn something from studying his movements. Once we’ve got a proper understanding of the operation, *Circles Clockwerk Tailfeathers* those Clockwerk Tailfeathers are as good as ours." Bentley instructed as he ended the slideshow.

Karai slithered out the hideout with Bentley's device before Sly's voice was heard. "Don’t forget about me."

"Thanks, Sly." Karai smiled.

"No problem." Sly assured as he and Karai headed to the task rendezvous, soon arriving there as they put on their binocucoms while seeing a portrait of Sly.

"Sly, Karai, I managed to outfit this forged painting with a bug. I need you both to sneak into Dimitri’s office and swap it with the original." Bentley informed on the binocucoms.

"This is suppose to be art?" Karai asked.

"Nice! So we’ll be able to listen in on his conversations?" Sly noticed.

"Yes, I thought things might go more smoothly with an ear on the inside. Just be careful with the fine art, take any damage and the painting’s ruined." Bentley explained on the binocucoms.

"Relax, Bentley. This is easier with two working." Karai pointed out as Sly put the painting on his back.

"I know, but it's better to be safe than sorry." Bentley replied on the binocucoms.

"You're right, Bentley." Karai admitted as the duo went up, then started moving and jumping across the rooftops before they reached the clubhouse and sneaked towards a window, opening it and going inside. They entered the clubhouse before putting on their binocucoms.

"The schematics indicates that door is locked from the inside." Bentley noticed on the binocucoms.

"That's alright; I never was one for the direct approach." Sly shrugged.

"Same here." Karai agreed.

"Swell, because the indirect approach... is way up there, through that air vent." Bentley informed on the binocucoms

"Like that's a problem for me." Karai said as the duo managed to sneak past the janitors and headed up, sneaking across lines and behind a waterfall fountain towards the air vent as Sly broke it open before Dimitri's voice was heard.

"Dimitri coming at you loud and clear. I've got to high-five give it up to my main men working the disco. Spice sales are up, up, up! Keep on moving that spice, a'ight? And to every homeslice down in the special fake money making room: the nicest of jobs there, man, I tell you. Keep full-steaming ahead with my new Clockwerk printing plates, all of us retire early. You picking up on what I'm throwing down? Peace out!" Dimitri announced on the intercoms.

"What did he say?" Karai asked.

"Eh, we can worry about that later." Sly answered before crawling into the air vent as Karai went in after him, enjoying the hot air the vent was producing as it made her Cold-Blood feel good. Soon, the duo dropped into Dimitri's office and saw the portrait as Sly swapped it with the bugged one.

"Nice work, guys. The bug's in position. If you manage to get the original back to me in one piece, I can sell it through my internet connections and make us a ton of coins." Bentley said on the binocucoms.

"My thoughts exactly." Karai nodded as the two exited the office before sneaking up and out of the clubhouse via window again. "That was easier than most of our heist."

"Well, we’re just setting things up for the heist." Sly pointed out.

"True." Karai admitted as the duo sneaked across rooftops and made it back to the safe house. "We're back."

"And one fragile delivery unscathed." Sly added as Adagio took the painting from Karai.

"Not bad, you two." Adagio smiled.

"Any jobs for me, Bentley?" Rarity asked.

"I believe so. You don’t mind going with Visamo, right?" Bentley checked.

"Not at all. Sweetie Belle, stay here." Rarity requested.

"Fine." Sweetie Belle pouted.

"I mean it." Rarity clarified as she left the warehouse with Visamo.

"Alright, let’s head to the rendezvous." Visamo said.

"Agreed." Rarity nodded as the duo soon made it to the rendezvous point before they brought out their binocucoms.

"I just intercepted an email from Dimitri. He’s ordered his guards to ring the boat’s bell when the coast is clear." Bentley informed on the binocucoms.

"That's a little low tech for this operation." Rarity noted.

"But what’s the signal for?" Visamo asked.

"Of that I’m uncertain, Ring the bell and follow him without being seen then maybe we’ll find out what he’s hiding." Bentley replied on the binocucoms as Rarity checked her bracelets and readied the grappling hooks just in case. Visamo then rang the bell before he and Rarity hid immediately when Dimitri, the nightclub owner, came out and started walking into the city with Rarity and Visamo secretly following him across the rooftops and light lines.

"Mmm... smooth, keep it smooth, baby. Walk tall, stand tall, feel funky. Juice? Who's got the juice? Smooth. Dig that kinetic, Kinetic Aesthetic. Make art, breathe art, feel art, be art! Yay, yay, yay! Make art, be art! Got to keep it smooth." Dimitri said to himself.

"Huh?" The duo asked, not comprehending that talk at all.

"Qu'est-ce que c'est?" Dimitri noticed before the duo hid as he looked around, seeing no one following him before he kept going as Rarity and Visamo went onto the ground, secretly following him still while staying out of the boar guards' sights. They then saw Dimitri stop at a door. "Hmm... Uh? Grrr. Ah-ha!" Dimitri struggled to remember before entering a code before it opened as he went inside.

"Good job tailing him, guys. He had no idea you were both watching while he typed in that secret code." Bentley congratulated on the comms.

"What was he babbling about earlier?" Rarity asked.

"Beats me." Visamo shrugged.

"Hold on... Looks like that door leads to the nightclub's aqua pumps. Hmm... This might be useful for the heist." Bentley noted on the comms.

"You think so, Darling?" Rarity checked.

"Yeah, and besides, this is a job for Murray. Come back to the safe house for now." Bentley answered on the comms.

"Okay, Bentley." Rarity responded.

"I could use a break." Visamo agreed as the duo went off and snuck back into the safe house.

Waterpump Destruction

Waterpump Destruction

Adagio and Murray exited the safe house.

"Alright, let’s head to that rendezvous." Adagio declared.

"Right behind you, Dagi!" Murray agreed as the duo managed to get onto the rooftops and move forward while beating enemies along the way before arriving at the door as Adagio inputted the code, unlocking the door before she opened it. "It's exciting to work with you girls again!"

"Yeah, now let’s go." Adagio agreed as the duo went inside before bringing out their binocucoms.

"Murray, Adagio, I need you both to make your way back to the aqua pump room and sabotage it." Bentley informed on the binocucoms.

"By that you mean, break it?" Adagio checked.

"A simplified version, but yeah." Bentley answered on the binocucoms.

"Geez, I don’t know. How are we supposed to get past these lasers?" Murray pointed out.

"Murray, you should be able to break that power box by throwing something at it. You can stomp near the ice machine to pick up a block of ice, then you can throw the block at the power box." Bentley informed on the binocucoms.

"Stomp to pick stuff up, then throw, got it." Murray noted.

"Like that's going to be a problem for us." Adagio scoffed as Murray stomped near the ice machine, grabbing an ice block before throwing it at the power box, damaging it. The hippo did it two more times before it was destroyed, turning the lasers ahead off. "Perfect!"

The duo moved forward, only to find another laser gate ahead as Bentley called on the comms. "You're strong, Murray. Try picking up other stuff in the room."

"Should be easy." Adagio noted before Murray stomped, picking up a barrel and threw it at the next power box as she kicked a chair at it, damaging the power box before Murray stomped again, picking up a crate and throwing it at the power box, destroying it while shutting down the next laser wall. "Good work, Murray."

"Thanks." Murray smiled.

"Enemies that are knocked out can be picked up with your stomp move, Murray. Throw something at that guard, then jump up there and pick him up with your stomp move." Bentley explained.

"Yeah, that boar guard's not leaving any blind spots for sneaking up on him." Adagio noticed.

"Leave it to me, Adagio. Then you take him out." Murray said as he picked up a chair and threw it at the guard, knocking him out cold.

"Speed Slash!" Adagio shouted as that attack definitely made sure the guard would be out of commission for quite some time, likely for the rest of the night. "Pathetic." Adagio scoffed as she then saw the laser gate, noticing a gap to get through. "Oh, boy."

Murray: *Catching up with Adagio* "Something up?" Murray checked after catching up with Adagio.

"Just follow me carefully, Murray." Adagio warned as she got through the laser gate's gap before Murray followed through. "Nice job, buddy."

"Thanks." Murray responded as the duo continued forward, arriving in a room before rat guards noticed them, charging into battle.

"Toss the rats into that open water main and plug up those pipes!" Bentley said on the comms.

"There's a piece of irony on this." Adagio noticed.

"How?" Murray asked.

"It'll take too long to explain." Adagio replied as Murray punched a rat guard, knocking it out.

"Guess he had a glass jaw." Murray quipped as he picked up the rat guard and threw him into the water main.

"Now he's also clean." Adagio added.

"Come on, we’re not done clogging yet." Murray pointed out.

"Yuck." Adagio gagged before the kept fighting the rat guards as they threw in four more, building up more and more pressure in the pipes before the main one exploded, causing water to spill out.

"That did it, guys. With the aqua pump out of commission, they’ll be forced to route water through the old pipe tower. Those fools! They’re playing right into our hands!" Bentley explained on the comms.

"You're something else, Bentley." Adagio noted.

"Well, you and Murray get back to the safe house. I’ll need to plan further in preparation for the heist." Bentley added on the comms.

"Really? And I was going shoe shopping." Adagio noted as Murray snickered at her remark. "Oh what? You challenging me to something?"

"No." Murray answered.

"Oh well, let’s head back." Adagio shrugged.

"Yeah." Murray agreed as he and Adagio snuck out of the area before heading back to the safe house as they soon arrived.

"We're home." Adagio informed.

"Just in time, you two." Bentley noted.

"Great." Murray smiled as Bentley then started a photo slideshow, beginning with a picture of the printing press room. "Okay, fellas, I've constructed a plan *Next picture shows the machine with the Clockwerk Tail Feathers circled* to get at the Clockwerk tail feathers, *Next picture showing the nightclub, then a guard patrolling Paris* but we'll need to pull off a few more jobs to set things up for the heist. *Shows pictures inside the nightclub, pointing at boar guards and their pockets while one showed the chandelier* First, Sly and Sweetie Belle will have to pick a few pockets in the theater so that we'll have access to the spotlight control center. *Next picture showing the Printing Press room with arrows pointing at security features* Once that's accomplished, we'll be able to turn off all the security around the printing press. *Shows building and alarm horns around it with radio waves drawn on one and said alarm horn scribbled out before the next showed more guards* We'll need your muscle and Rarity’s diamond blades, Murray, to take out all the exterior alarm horns. We don't want anything to alert the guards while we pull off the big job. *Shows more pictures of the building outside and inside with one having two arrows pointing at the disco ball and another pointing down below it* And finally, we'll need to get into the discothèque to drop this mirror ball. *Shows a picture of the nightclub with the peacock statue sign having X eyes* Trust me, it's all part of the plan."

Everyone understood the plan, but Rarity couldn’t help but be worried for Sweetie Belle.

Theater Pickpocketing/Silence the Alarms

Sweetie Belle was just about ready to head out. "My first heist!"

"Easy, kid. We’re still setting things up for that." Sly chuckled.

"And I'm still hesitant about this in general." Rarity pointed out.

"Hey, I get that you’re worried, but this is more of a test run. So no problem." Sly assured.

"Alright." Rarity sighed.

"I’ll be okay, Rarity." Sweetie Belle said.

"Okay, just… *Hugs her little sister* be careful out there." Rarity requested, and then off Sweetie Belle went with Sly. Adagio looked at the sisterly love and couldn't help but fantasize herself with a child.

Soon, the duo left the safe house.

"Now then, let’s get to that rendezvous point." Sly said.

"Yeah." Sweetie Belle agreed as the duo snuck and jumped across rooftops, as well as walk on light lines before reaching a balcony and opened the door, heading inside the building. "This is awesome."

"Come on, let’s put on our binocucoms and see what Bentley has to say." Sly informed as Sweetie Belle brought out hers and was amazed by the design before putting them on while Sly did the same.

"Wow…!" Sweetie Belle awed as Bentley came through.

"Okay you two, there’s the power boxes which route to the printing press area. To take care of them I’ll need you both to put a splice clip in those spotlights." Bentley informed on the binocucoms.

"Sorry Bentley, but those fans are spinning way too fast to walk on." Sly pointed out.

"Any suggestions?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"They can be slowed down from this control panel… but you’ll both have to do a lot of pickpocketing to get at it. The guards are carrying special fragile keys that will be destroyed if you attack. Make sure you pickpocket their keys before you take those thugs out." Bentley answered with a warning on the binocucoms.

"Sounds simple enough." Sweetie Belle shrugged as the two put off and pocketed their binocucoms.

"To pickpocket guards, sneak up behind them and quietly loot their pockets." Bentley explained on the comms when Sweetie Belle remembered something as she took off and pocketed her nail claws before her paws fluffed out.

"Soft paws…" Sweetie Belle quietly realized as the two hid when a boar guard moved forward before turning around and headed back, allowing the two to sneak up behind him as Sweetie Belle searched his pockets, pulling out three coins.

"Keep picking his pockets. Sometimes, you have to dig a little." Bentley added on the comms.

"Come on." Sweetie Belle softly growled as she pulled out another three coins before looking one more time, pulling out a fan control key. "Finally!" Sweetie Belle smiled with a whisper when the boar’s ears twitched as Sweetie Belle noticed that before pocketing the key and brought her Nekode Finger Nail Claws out again as she went cat-claw crazy on the guard, knocking him out cold. "Did I do that?"

"Yeah, despite not having natural claws, you’re a pretty sharp snow leopard." Sly quipped.

"Thanks." Sweetie Belle said in gratitude.

"Now we just need five more. I’ll get three, you get the other two." Sly listed.

"On it." Sweetie Belle nodded as the duo split up before Sly soon pickpocketed a few coins and a key.

"Check one, check two. Solid. Dimitri on the mic with a shout-out to all my nightclub samurai. Stand tall and feel beautiful. I hear there's some raccoon dude giving us static! If y'all spot this cracker-box, bam! Make him unhappy, take no prisoners, go hardcore, extreme, all over his face! Okay, peace out." Dimitri announced on the intercom.

"Huh?" Sweetie Belle asked in confusion.

"Beats me." Sly shrugged on the comms as he took out the guard he pickpocketed before Sweetie Belle managed to pickpocket a guard of more coins and another key.

"I think swiped a hundred dollar bill." Sweetie Belle noticed as she then knocked out the guard she pickpocketed. "Knock out."

Meanwhile, Sly snuck behind the curtains and up above the stage as he managed to pickpocket some coins, a treasure and a key from a sleeping guard watching television that was in static. "Nice pen." Sly noted as he then knocked out the guard while Sweetie Belle snuck behind the curtains too before pickpocketing a guard of his coins and key.

"Too easy." Sweetie Belle smirked before knocking out tthe guard as Sly snuck up behind a guard on the stairs, pickpocketing coins and the sixth keys before knocking him out.

"Nice work, guys. Now head for the control panel to slow down the fans." Bentley spoke on the comms.

"Right." Sweetie Belle nodded as the duo went up the stairs, then went left to find the control panel, having six locks.

"Ladies first." Sly offered.

"Thanks." Sweetie Belle smiled as she used the three keys she had to open and take off the locks on the left before Sly used his three keys to do the same to the locks on the right.

"Not bad." Sly smirked before he went to work on the control panel as the ceiling fans slowed down to a halt.

"Looks like the fans have stopped. Use them to get on top of the main chandelier and insert that splice clip." Bentley informed on the comms.

"After you." Sweetie Belle said.

"Thanks." Sly responded in thanks as the duo jumped across lines when Sly jumped onto a fan cable, climbing before jumping into the next one as Sweetie Belle followed before the two soon got onto the main chandelier.

"Wow, my sister did this stuff before?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Yep. You sound surprised despite knowing she’s a ninja." Sly noticed.

"She never was a thief." Sweetie Belle responded.

"Really? Seen her reading any news?" Sly checked.

"Sometimes." Sweetie Belle answered.

"Ever wondered what they were about?" Sly added.

"No." Sweetie Belle shook her head.

"Maybe ask her yourself later." Sly suggested as he inserted the splice chip and pulled the lever.

"I’m overriding the spotlight’s security guns." Bentley said on the comms as the guns fired, taking down alarm and security systems, and spotlights. "That should do it, no more security in the printing press room."

"Thanks, Bentley." Sweetie Belle smiled.

"No problem, now get back to the safe house." Bentley added on the comms.

"No ice cream?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Don’t worry, Sweetie Belle. We’ll get you some on the way back." Sly answered.

"Hooray!" Sweetie Belle cheered.

"Shh." Sly hushed.

"Sorry." Sweetie Belle apologized as the two managed to sneak out of the building and soon returned to the safe house as Sweetie Belle was having some ice cream.

"Not bad." Rarity noted.

"Huh? You saw?" Sweetie Belle said.

"It was pretty good." Rarity confirmed.

"Really?" Sweetie Belle checked.

"Yes. But don't get cocky." Rarity warned.

"Okay." Sweetie Belle nodded.

"Rarity, Murray, you’re up next." Bentley said.

"Got it." Murray smiled.

"Let’s go." Rarity declared as the duo headed out of the safe house. "Time for our rendezvous."

"Yeah." Murray agreed as he and Rarity jumped onto and across rooftops before arriving at the rendezvous, bringing out their binocucoms.

"Okay you two, that’s alarm horn will tip off Dimitri during our heist. There are three of them out here and I need you both to take them out." Bentley briefed on the binocucoms.

"Check!" Murray nodded.

"That sounds like a plan." Rarity smiled.

"This is going to take some serious muscle Murray, as well as serious diamond durability Rarity, you’re the only ones on the team who can pull this off. Murray, stomp to pick things up then throw it at those alarm horns. Rarity, spin the diamond shields you summon like saw blades. Good luck pals, this could get rough." Bentley informed on the binocucoms.

"He makes it sound difficult." Rarity noted.

"Evil doers feel my wrath!" Murray declared as Rarity giggled. "I’ll take care of the first one, just watch my back."

"Go ahead, Darling." Rarity nodded as Murray stomped, picking up a potted plant before throwing it at the alarm horn, damaging it as the alarm went off.

"Looks like it’ll need more hits." Murray noticed.

"Please." Rarity agreed when she saw incoming rat guards as Murray stomped, picking up a table before throwing it, damaging the alarm horn more while Rarity fought the guards. "This feels wrong."

"How come?" Murray asked while he gave a stomp, picking up a guard Rarity knocked down before Murray threw the guard, destroying the alarm horn as Rarity knocked out the rest of the guards.

"That's the last one!" Rarity said while kicking.

"Awesome! To the next horn!" Murray whooped.

"After you." Rarity said as the jumped onto and across rooftops again before they soon reached the second horn. "My turn to shine."

"Beauty before brawn." Murray quipped with Rarity giggling at that before summoning a diamond shield as she started spinning it like a sawblade.

"When I start, this alarm will sound off. Can you keep the guards away?" Rarity asked as Murray just cracked knuckles at that.

"I got this." Murray assured with Rarity having started slicing the alarm as it went off, causing rat guards and a boar guard to show up. "Come on!" Murray taunted as he fought off the enemies while dodging attacks from the rats, frogs and boar before Rarity soon managed to destroy the alarm horn.

"Finished." Rarity smiled.

"Nice! Just one more!" Murray cheered while stretching and shadowboxing.

"Enjoyed your fun, Murray?" Rarity noticed.

"Yeah!" Murray answered as the duo jumped onto and across rooftops one more time before jumping to the ground and found the final alarm horn.

"There it is." Rarity noted.

"Let’s do it!" Murray declared.

"After you." Rarity offered as Murray punched a rat guard before picking him up and threw him at the alarm, damaging it as it went off. "Oh, come on."

"Alright!" Murray smiled while cracking his knuckles as he charged hard.

"Okay, I’ll get the second hit." Rarity said as Murray attacked the guards, while Rarity managed to give the alarm a slice with her diamond shields.

"Come on! I'm even breaking a sweat!" Murray scoffed.

"Okay, time to finish this." Rarity declared.

"Right." Murray agreed when Rarity jumped as the hippo grabbed her before throwing the snow leopard, allowing her to use her kama sickles to slice the alarm horn apart.

"That makes all three." Rarity counted.

"Yes, it does." Murray nodded.

"Great job, you two. Now get back to the safe house." Bentley said on the comms.

"Right." Rarity responded as the duo soon returned to the hideout as Murray was having some food. "Hungry as always."

"Can ya blame me? I’m still surprised Dagi can keep up with my appetite." Murray remembered.

"Same here. What is her problem?" Rarity asked.

"Not a problem to me." Murray shrugged as Rarity was just deep in thought.

Visamo and Karai headed out of the safe house. "Come on, let’s get to that rendezvous."

"Alright, I’m coming." Karai nodded as the snake duo slithered across rooftops before someone landed familiar landed in front of them.

"Hold it you two!" A female voice said, as that someone was revealed to be...

"Constable Neyla, looks like I have my own police woman pursuing me." Visamo quipped.

"Too bad it's a mammal." Karai joked.

"Please, I led you here." Neyla informed.

"Just like Sly thought, that Klaww Gang tip was definitely a clue." Visamo noted.

"Not exactly hard to piece together." Karai agreed.

"Can’t help but wonder why." Visamo pointed out.

"I’m not as black and white as Carmelita. I know what a menace those Clockwerk parts are and I don’t want the likes of the Klaww Gang putting them to use." Neyla explained.

"There's something else to it, isn't there?" Karai noticed.

"Like fighting fire with fire, so working with thieves to catch one." Visamo said.

"Something like that. But if I’m going to trust you both in this case I need to know that you two can keep up… literally." Neyla challenged.

"Literally?" The snake duo asked.

"Don’t fall behind." Neyla clarified before running off.

"Might as well." Karai shrugged.

"Visamo, Karai, try to keep up with Neyla." Bentley informed on the comms.

"You got it." Visamo nodded as the duo started going after Neyla as they bounced off ceiling drapes, jumped off cars and across rooftops, walking across light lines, running across the ground before later jumping over a gate and snuck over to the discotheque entrance.

"Well done you two, we should work well together." Neyla noted.

"Happy you think so." Visamo smiled.

"Those moves..." Karai awed, having recognized what Neyla did.

"Now, legally I can’t enter Dimitri’s Nightclub without a warrant… but I happen to have obtained a key to his back door… which people like yourselves can use however they please." Neyla informed.

"Hehe, we’re definitely gonna get along just fine." Visamo chuckled.

"Yeah, I guess." Karai shrugged as Neyla jumped up high and away.

"That job inside the disco will require my demolition skills, and I’ll bring Adagio as backup. Head on back to the safe house, I should be all geared up for the field by the time you arrive." Bentley explained on the comms.

"Be careful, Bentley." Karai warned.

"Don’t worry, we’re on our way back." Visamo assured before the snake duo slithered back, soon arriving at the safe house as they went inside.

"My turn." Adagio said as Bentley was all ready to head out. "You ready, Bentley?"

"As I’ll ever be." Bentley answered with a nervous gulp.

"Okay. Let's get started." Adagio declared as the duo went outside the safe house.

"You probably know already, but I can’t really walk on tightropes." Bentley pointed out.

"Kinda obvious, Bentley." Adagio shrugged.

"I'll try my best to keep up." Bentley assured as the duo started moving with him jumping onto and across rooftops, then ran on the ground as Adagio did the same with walking across light lines before the two soon arrived at the disco entrance and went inside, seeing a laser vent ahead.

"Okay Bentley, to get past the laser vents, you'll need to blow it up. Just drop a bomb on it and then get out of the way before it explodes." Sly informed on the comms.

"It's not rocket science, Sly." Adagio pointed out as Bentley went to the laser vent and placed a bomb before backing away as the bomb detonated, disabling it as the two then saw a boat guard facing forward. "No way I can sneak past that guy in this tight space."

"Good thing I brought my tranq darts." Bentley noted while aiming his crossbow before firing as the dart hit the guard, making him fall asleep.

"Nicely done." Adagio smiled.

"Thanks." Bentley responded as he snuck up behind the guard before placing a bomb between him and the next laser vents before heading back to Adagio before it detonated, knocking the guard out and destroying the laser vent.

"Too easy." Adagio scoffed as the duo then went out of the tunnel before bringing out their binocucoms.

"Hey Bentley, how're you holding up out there in the field?" Sly checked on the binocucoms.

"Fine, fine, I'm just fine." Bentley answered.

"He's fine, Sly." Adagio assured.

"I just need to bomb all the pillars supporting that disco ball and I can get outta here." Bentley informed.

"What's with taking out the disco ball?" Sly asked on the binocucoms.

"Its impact will shake the Nightclub's front peacock sign loose from its moorings-Look I can't talk now. I've gotta keep moving, keep safe!" Bentley responded.

"You're the genius." Adagio shrugged as the two ended the call, pocketing their binocucoms when Bentley jumped down to the left and places a bomb on a support pillar before the explosive detonated, taking out the entire pillar.

"Okay, three more to go." Bentley counted.

"Give me two." Adagio said.

"Okay, but be careful." Bentley warned as he did that.

"Oh please, I use to fire cannon balls." Adagio replied.

"That doesn’t make it anymore convincing." Bentley pointed out as Adagio juggled both explosives in one hand.

"Whatever." Adagio scoffed before jumping away with the two bombs as Bentley ran up a ramp. Adagio soon jumped around laser vents and guards before placing a bomb on a support pill before jumping back. "Boom." Adagio simply quipped as the bomb exploded, taking out the support pillar as she bought out a picture, looking at it sadly. "And you, Harmony."

Bentley shot a guard with a tranq dart before placing two bombs between the boar and the support pillar as they went off, knocking out the enemy and destroying the third support pillar. "Just one to go."

"I got it." Adagio assured as she knocked out the guard with a strong kick before heading over to the fourth and final support pillar, placing the bomb down and backed off before it detonated, destroying the last support, causing the disco ball to swing side-to-side before it fell and shattered against the floor with a loud crash and explosion. "That wasn't hard."

"Wow, guys. We felt that all the way back here in the safe house. And you were right, Bentley, the peacock sign had half of its bolts pop off on impact!" Sly informed on the comms.

"Score one for the brainiac." Adagio smirked.

"Come on, let’s get back to the safe house." Bentley declared.

"Yeah." Adagio nodded as the duo managed to sneak out of the building and back to the safe house. "What's for dinner?"

"Well, I made plenty of food for everyone, especially you and Murray, Dagi." Rarity answered.

"Thanks." Adagio smiled before she and Murray started digging on as Rarity watched the tigress.
