Hey there everyone. My name is Sephiroth 200. This is my first fan fiction on this site so please take it easy on me. This chapter takes place after Clock-las destruction.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own the Sly Cooper series.

Chapter 1: Lifes Intervention

A brilliant explosion of flames ignited the night skies of Paris, France. Following the explosion was a rain of metal. The Cooper gang had done it. In removing her

hate chip the gang had triggered Clock-la's self-destruct feature. Within seconds Clock-la was no more. The parts however were a different story. Despite the

magnitude of the blast the parts were barely phased. A few dings and scratches maybe, but the parts didn't really take any serious damage. Then moments

later Carmelita landed the helicopter she and Sly used to shoot the bird down.

For a few moments they stared at the wreck that was the arch rival of the Cooper family. Then Sly lifted the hate chip that Bentley pulled out of Clock-las

mouth. He and Carmelita stared at the tiny glowing chip wondering how such a small device could keep a monster like Clockwerk alive for so many centuries.

Sly considered throwing the chip into the water along with the rest of Clockwerk s remains, but then some other group would just retrieve the parts, and then

it would happen again. It was a mistake they could not allow to be repeated. So they did what they had to do.

Doing the honors, Inspector Fox threw the chip on the ground, and crushed it. Then almost instantaneously the parts started to age, as if time had finally caught up

with the old bird. Then Sly heard a very familiar click. He turned to see Carmelita raise her shock pistol pointing it right at him. Just like the first time upon Clockwerk s

destruction Carmelita was back to bringing Sly and his gang to justice. With Bentley's injuries from retrieving the hate chip and the team van no longer with

them they were in no condition to escape.

So Sly told Carmelita that he would go quietly if she would allow Murray and Bentley to escape. She agreed, Bentley and Murray escaped, and right on schedule

about half of Interpol s forces arrived on the scene. The chief congratulated Carmelita on capturing Sly and asked her to assist in escorting the master thief

back to Interpol.

However despite there being an army of cops, no one noticed a small figure in a top hat and overcoat approach the area of the hate chip remains.

"Rather big fuss over one thief, but if Sly Cooper crushed this chip himself... it must be dangerous." he muttered to himself. Then the figure quickly removed a

small plastic bag from his coat, opened it, and quickly put the shards of the hate chip into it. When it was done he sealed the bag up, and then put it back in his

coat.

"Dr. M I found something that might interest you. I'm en route back to base." said the figure into an ear communicator. Then he exited quickly before anyone

noticed. But it did not end there.

Even though Clock-la was no more, life had other plans for her organic counterpart. A short distance off a pair of siblings watched the scene from the shore line

of the Seine River. It was quiet the entire time. Then the silence was broken by the younger of the two.

"Hey Jacques what's that over there?" asked the young one to her elder brother as she pointed over to the spot she was talking about. Sure enough there

was a motionless lump right on the shore.

"I don't know Annie lets go check it out." said Jacques to his younger sister. They both hurried to the spot and saw that the lump was in fact a person.

To be exact it was a young tigress. Female, lilac colored fur, blue stripes along her back and tail, there was a circlet with a red gem on her fore head, and she

was wearing a blue sleeveless top, brown shorts, and boots all topped off with a scarlet hood with yellow markings, but the hood was tattered in the back to

reveal long black hair. In fact her entire outfit was tattered, and she looked like she had gone toe to toe with the devil. But besides that she was beautifully

built.

Then Jacques felt for a pulse, and found one.

"She's alive! But she needs medical attention and fast" said Jacques as he picked up the young tigress.

"Brother! Look up!" said Annie as she pointed to a helicopter in the sky. They both looked up in time to see a sleek form in blue jump out of the helicopter and

deployed a blue and white parachute. As he descended a voice boomed from the entrance of the helicopter.

"I'll find you Cooper!" shouted the voice.

"C...C... Cooper." said the barely conscious tigress.

"We better hurry Jacques." said Annie to her brother.

"Right just hang on miss... you're going to be alright." said Jacques to the tigress. Then the siblings continued on their way to get the injured her some help.

Despite all the trouble she had caused in her life Captain Neyla was about to get a second chance.

Soon the two siblings arrived at the hospital. Bursting through the door they headed for the receptions desk.

"May I help you...? Whoa!" said the desk clerk.

"We need to see Dr. Elena." said Jacques.

"Jacques... you know your mother is very busy right now... perhaps we can..." started the clerk.

"Please! This lady needs serious medical attention!" interrupted Annie referring to the young tigress in her brothers arms.

"Well can you tell me what exactly happened to her?" asked the clerk.

"We don't know! Just please help us!" said Jacques.

"But I can't just... ah hell. Alright give me a moment." said the clerk as she picked up a phone and paged a number.

"Dr. Elena, I know you're busy right now, but your kids have brought someone in need of immediate medical attention. Yes... uh huh... OK I'll tell them." said the

clerk to the doctor. Then she hung up the phone.

"She told me she's on her way down. In the meantime does she have a name?" asked the clerk.

"We don't know. She was unconscious when we found her. We'll ask her when she wakes up." said Jacques.

"Is someone in need of... oh my Lord!" said Dr. Elena as she entered the lobby.

"Mom!" said Annie as she hugged her mother.

"Where did you find her?" asked Dr. Elena to her son.

"On the shore of the Seine River; There was some sort of explosion there... we think she may have been caught in the blast." said Jacques.

"Hmm..." said the doctor as she looked at the woman in her sons arms. She was injured pretty badly.

"I'll see what I can do. Come on you two." said the doctor to her kids. She had heard the explosion minutes ago so she knew they were telling the truth

Soon they arrived at the doctors' medical station.

"Put her on the bed." said the doctor to her son as she washed her hands. Jacques followed his mothers' orders and carefully placed the young tigress on the

bed.

"Annie switch on the lights please." the doctor told her daughter. She followed her mothers' orders and soon the room was lit up.

"Now I need both of you to go wait outside." said the doctor to her children.

"Yes Ma'am!" said the siblings. They left the room closing the door behind them. Now all they could do was wait and hope for the best.

Over an hour and a half had passed and it was almost 11:00 PM when their mother emerged from the medical station.

"How is she?" asked Jacques.

"She's stable for now. She had suffered trauma to her arms, legs, torso, back, and a few cuts along her head. I couldn't find any traces of shrapnel, and no

internal bleeding. She's really lucky. But I will have to stay during the night to keep an eye on her condition. Would you two like to stay as well?" asked Elena to

her children.

"I'll stay. I want to know a bit more about her when she wakes up." said Jacques.

"If Jacques is staying so will I." said Annie.

"Alright hang on you two." said Elena as she dug in her pockets for her pager. She found it then paged the front desk.

"Desk clerk." said the clerk.

"Could you send up some blankets to my station? My kids are helping me watch the patient." said Elena.

"I'll send them up right away doctor." said the clerk.

"Thank you. Have a good night." said Elena as she hung up and put the pager back in her pocket.

"Now all we have to do is wait." said Elena.

"Thanks for letting us stay mom." said Annie.

"Any time sweetie; now both of you get ready. This is going to be a long night." said Elena.

"Yes mom." said both of her kids.

"Now I need you both to go inside and keep an eye on her. I'm going to see if I can find her some of my old clothes so she doesn't have to wear her tattered

ones. Then I'm going to see if I can find us something to eat. I'll be gone for at least 30 minutes. Call me on my cellphone if her condition changes." said Elena.

"Yes mom." said the siblings. Then their mother left. Then the two siblings went into the medical station. There they saw the woman still unconscious but

breathing normally. Her heart monitor showed her current pulse. If her condition changed they would know. It was quiet for a while. Then the silence was

broken by Annie.

"Do you think she's going to be okay?"Annie asked her brother in a soft voice.

"We put her in the hands possible Annie. Now all we can do is hope and pray for the best."Jacques replied.

"Cooper..." said Annie.

"Huh?" asked a puzzled Jacques.

"That's what she muttered at the shore. I wonder what it meant." said Annie.

"We'll ask her when she wakes up." said Jacques.

"Yeah I guess you're right." said Annie.

Meanwhile back at their safe house.

"He's waking up!" said Sly to Murray as their fallen comrade woke up.

"Oh my head..." said Bentley groggily.

"Bentley! I'm so glad you're okay buddy!" boomed Murray.

"Not so loud Murray. What happened while I was out?" Bentley asked Sly.

"We won. After Clock-la blew up, I crushed the hate chip and the parts disintegrated. Clockwerk is officially gone!" said the thief proudly having relieved his

family from the mechanical nightmare.

"Then I take it Carmelita arrested you?" asked the turtle.

"Yep, and by the way thanks for helping me escape Murray. Knocking out the pilot, and then jamming up the controls? I don't think she saw it coming." chuckled

Sly to the enormous hippo.

"You're welcome Sly! So Bentley can you move your legs?" asked Murray to his injured friend.

"I'm afraid not Murray. When Clock-las beak closed on my legs I was crippled." said Bentley. This was not what Murray wanted to hear.

"Bentley... I'm so sorry. If I had kept that beak open then maybe..." started Murray breaking into tears.

"No one could have known Murray. Please don't blame yourself." said Bentley.

"Yeah Murray you did what you could." said Sly reassuringly.

"Well maybe you're right Sly. I guess I'm still shaken up from losing the team van." said Murray still heartbroken from the loss of his pride and joy.

"You know while we're talking... What happened to Neyla?" Bentley asked Sly.

"I don't know. She might have been killed in the blast." said Sly somewhat unsure.

"Alright what's bugging you Sly?" Bentley asked.

"I just have this feeling we haven't seen the last her." said Sly. If only Sly knew how very right he was.

Well there you have it! I hope I did well. I'll try and post new chapters from time to time. But I still have school to deal with and my weekends are

always weird. But the good news is that summer vacation is coming in two months or so. So I'll be able to work on this story full time! I have a lot in

store for Neyla. But of course I can't do this story alone. So if any of you Sly Cooper fans would like to assist me in this story PM me. Read and
