Sly AU: Penelope joining the gang early
WHAT IF PENELOPE JOINED THE COOPER GANG EARLY?
As early as the first game itself? How would it affect the franchise? Let’s find out, shall we?
———————-
SLY 1: You know sly’s origin, how his parents were killed by the fiendish five who stole the pages of the thievious raccoonus, but here’s where things get interesting. This is where sly begins to talk about not only Bentley and Murray coming into his life, but also Penelope, meaning all four meet up in the same orphanage. While Sly calls Bentley “tech genius and strategist supreme” and Murray “part time driver and full time burden”, he would describe Penelope as “the reconnaissance.” She’s basically like a scout but also the brains like Bentley. Sly also describes her as a “jack of all trades”. Now she does not form a romantic relationship with Bentley yet, as that needs to build up over the games before that happens. So for the first game, they start out as just friends. Like the original, All four grow up and form the cooper gang to track down the missing pages, avenge sly’s father and reclaim his birthright.
PROLOGUE: During the tutorial mission where sly steals the fiendish five police file, after sly talks to bentley through his binocucom, Penelope makes her debut to tell sly that she’s also worried about him. Her first conversation would go like this…
Penelope: “sly, you really should be careful.”
Sly: “Penelope, don’t tell me you’re worried too.”
Penelope: “well of course I’m worried! I know how you are.”
Sly: “well I wouldn’t say you know everything about me.”
Penelope: “don’t just…whatever, just be safe!”
This of course follows up with sly stealing the file, getting chased by Carmelita and of course the backstory on the whole setting of the game. Also, In the world select, where Bentley is at his desk and Murray does random things, Penelope can be seen tuning up an RC car.
————————————-
TIDE OF TERROR
Now in this version of the game, you get the standard levels with sly and Murray, but the major difference would be Penelope. She would be more braver than Bentley and is willing to go on missions. There would be a mechanic where you could choose either sly or Penelope to help Murray. She would be playable in most of the mini game levels. Not much dialogue here until After sly retrieves three treasure keys, where Penelope pops up after Bentley….
Penelope: “he’s right, that canon looks pretty risky, but it’s the only way to get up to Raleigh’s blimp. You’ll need four more keys to unlock it.”
Sly: “I’m on it.”
And in the treasure chest crab-shooting level, she uses an RC sub to get the chests while sly shoots the crabs.
————————————-
SUNSET SNAKE EYES
During the racing level with Murray, Penelope would provide a special power up (shaped like her insignia) where her RC car or chopper comes by and takes out enemy racers.
Sly: “it’s all you, man. drive the van with the left analog stick, and if you manage to pick up any nitro power ups, you can get a boost by pressing the square button.”
Penelope: “And if you see a special power up I’ve provided along the way, I’ll lend a hand using my RC chopper or car to take care of the other racers. Go get ‘em big guy!”
Murray: “I’m on it!”
———————————
VICIOUS VOODOO
Here, Penelope would use an RC boat for the piranha lake level. Dialogue before the level goes like this…
Bentley: “Penelope had volunteered to help open up the voodoo gate with her RC boat.”
Penelope: “It’s all tuned up and ready to set sail!”
Sly: “alright Penelope, the only way to open up that voodoo gate and get that key is to light up all 25 tiki torches using your RC boat.”
Penelope: “of course, I just use the left analog stick to steer and press the X button to fire the flamethrower.”
Bentley: “good to hear, But Unfortunately, you’ll need fuel for the flamethrower and the only source of oil is from those piranha you see swimming around. Run them down with the boat, one fish fuels one shot. Hurry! You only have two minutes to get all the torches lit!”
Penelope: “Not a problem, That key is as good as ours.”
———————————
FIRE IN THE SKY
Like the racing level from episode 2, Penelope uses her RC chopper or car to take out enemy racers for Murray, plus another mini game level has Penelope using her RC car to race through a fireworks compound and race up to the top before the lit fuse does in order to get a key.
———————————-
THE COLD HEART OF HATE
During one of the final levels where sly gets trapped in the gas chamber with Carmelita, Penelope would help Bentley with hacking into the systems. This level would have optional co-op mode where you can play it with one player or two players, the second player being Penelope’s own hacking avatar.
And of course, after the final battle with clockwerk, sly goes over every single adventure he had and that he finally restored the thievious raccoonus and that he couldn’t have done it without his friends.
Sly: “Murray, boy, it took a lot guts for him to get out in the field with me. I know he was scared, but he’s got more heart than anyone I’ve ever known. And Thank goodness for Bentley, without his expertise, I never would’ve found my my off that rooftop back in Paris. and who could forget Penelope? While she is also the brains of the group, she does a lot what we do except for the whole muscle thing. But What’s important is her RC gadgets really helped us out, I wouldn’t have made it this far without her.”
And of course it wraps up with Carmelita giving sly that ten second head start, he kisses her, cuffs her to the railings and the gang makes their getaway.
—————————-
COMIC BETWEEN GAMES 1
Issue one is pretty much the same, except during the flashback story of sly remembering his very first heist at the orphanage, we see a young Penelope aiding the boys in their cookie stealin’ plan by using her RC car.
——————————
SLY 2:
PROLOGUE
in the prologue where sly sneaks into the Cairo natural history museum, after the exchange between “the wizard” and “sitting duck”, sly makes it to the elevator where we see both Bentley and Penelope. Their title shots read “Bentley the brains” and “Penelope the RC specialist”. This is where they both hack into the security so sly can get through. Here’s some dialogue…
Sly: “Thanks guys, for your first time out, you did pretty well.”
Penelope: “Thanks sly, I’ve never felt more alive already.”
Bentley: “oh this operation is far from complete. Now that the lasers and spotlights are offline, murray should be moving into position for your rendezvous. We’ll stay here provide computer support while you go on ahead.”
Penelope: “and if you get into any trouble, my RC chopper will be there to lend you a hand, or grappling hook.”
And of course, after Murray makes his entrance and opens the gate, and Penelope uses her RC chopper to get rid of another obstacle, Carmelita and Neyla appear and the gang make a run for it…
Murray: “oh geez! Wait up, sly!”
Sly: “shake a leg, Murray! It’s time to go!”
Bentley: “this wasn’t part of the plan!”
Sly: “yeah well, this is where things get fun.”
Penelope: “Sly’s right, we can worry about the missing clockwerk parts later! Right now we gotta keep moving!”
Sly makes it to the team van at the rendezvous and the game begins.
——————————-
THE BLACK CHATEAU
Now this is where Penelope becomes playable on the field for the first time. Like the boys she jumps and double jumps, crawls under tables (except for Murray), hides in barrels and shimmies on ledges. Her combat consists of using a wrench to attack, which she can also use to fix mechanical stuff. Her triangle button attack is an uppercut punch. When fighting, she’s stronger than Bentley but a little bit weaker than sly. Like the guys, Her circle button interactions are crawling under tables, sneaking along ledges and interact with certain objects like gears, levers, anything mechanic. She can also hack into computers like Bentley but she needs a bit more help with that department. Her RC vehicles are only playable during missions though.
In this AU, she becomes more cocky and overconfident because of how easy some of the missions can be. She believes that nothing can touch the cooper gang at this point. Also, during the interactions with Sly and Neyla, Penelope is already suspicious and doesn’t trust neyla. Like this dialogue here for example…
Penelope: “be careful sly, we don’t really know what she’s all about. She’s a cop, and yet she’s trying to help you? I wouldn’t trust her.”
Sly: “aw come on penelope, what could possibly go wrong?”
Penelope: “famous last words.”
The missions She is playable during are when sly has to pickpocket the keys to the laser security and after unlocking, Penelope comes in to hack the system where we are treated to a hacking mini game early, and she escorts Bentley during the bombing mission where while he bombs the supports to the night club’s peacock sign. Plus she has her own mission where she uses her RC car to take care of any extra security through the vents.
During operation thunder beak, Penelope helps Bentley turn off the fountain and provides extra cover for sly to fight off any guards before they pull down the peacock sign. Once that’s done, sly battles dimitri, grabs the clockwerk tail feathers and the gang makes their getaway.
——————————
A STARRY EYED ENCOUNTER
During the mission where sly gets pieces of a tuxedo in order to get into the ball, Penelope comments on how handsome sly looks in a tux. And During the Bentley chopper missions, they would also have optional co-op mode where you can play it with one player or two players, Second player being Penelope using her own chopper alongside Bentley’s.
——————————
THE PREDATOR AWAKENS
Halfway through the episode, Bentley and Penelope start to grow a bit more closer to each other and even have these little romantic thoughts and comments, but Penelope quickly dismisses the idea at first because she sees the gang as her family and Bentley as a really good friend, But their relationship would play out later.
Penelope’s overconfidence grows more when she tries to get more off of rajan during the mission where Bentley steals his blueprints, but rajan grabs her and runs off with her but Bentley manages to catch up with him. Here’s dialogue after the chase…
Rajan: “you want this pipsqueak? Take her! Mark my words turtle, you’re playing with fire and things will get worst once I get my claws on all of you!”
The spice lord tosses Penelope back at Bentley, whom helps her up.
Bentley: “Penelope are you ok?”
Penelope: “I’m fine. You were right, we should’ve left when we had the chance. But It was very brave of you going after rajan like that.”
Bentley: “what matters is you’re safe. Now let’s get outta here, we’ve got all the blueprints we need.”
Later on, sly once again accepts neyla’s help but Penelope is still suspicious and warns him, but once again he ignores her warnings.
During the chopper level, Bentley controls the chopper shooting at the dam while Penelope uses her RC chopper to shoot missiles.
After the boss fight with Rajan, Carmelita, Neyla and the Contessa show up. Neyla frames Carmelita and Bentley narrates the situation as sly, Murray, Penelope and Carmelita are captured by the contessa, thus starting Bentley’s character arc to become more braver, save his friends and start to develop some feelings for Penelope.
—————————-
JAILBREAK
Bentley’s character development starts as he sets off to rescue his friends from the contessa’s prison. first rescuing sly, then the two work together to find Murray and Penelope, but no matter how hard bentley tried to track her down, Penelope was nowhere to be found in the prison. Bentley starts to worry, but sly assures him that they’ll find her and rescue her. After freeing and chasing the contessa who makes her escape, The three take some time off to relax and enjoy being together again, but Bentley was still a little down and can’t stop thinking about Penelope. In fact, he even starts thinking romantic feelings for her and promising himself that he’ll tell her how he feels after they find the contessa.
—————————-
A TANGLED WEB
Once the boys find the contessa’s castle where an all-out war was going on, Sly sneaks into he re-education tower Where it is revealed that both Penelope and Carmelita are restrained and being hypnotized by the clockwerk eyes. Bentley is horrified and angry to see that Penelope was going to be brainwashed, motivating himself even more to save her.
The first half of levels goes well, but during the second half we get to see just how angry Bentley has been going through all this with sly and Murray being concerned about him. Sure he’s overcome his fear, but at what cost? They need to get Penelope and Carmelita out of there as fast as they can. The rest of the missions go like usual, sly destroys the machine holding the clockwerk eyes, Carmelita is freed and goes after the contessa while Penelope is freed, sees sly and Bentley and hugs them tight, happy to reunite with them.
But of course, Neyla gets the other eye and sly chases her while the two brainiacs get out of the tower. After the contessa’s boss battle and the gang meets up to make their getaway, Penelope and Bentley stare at each other for a long time until Penelope breaks the silence.
Penelope: “You alright Bentley? I hope I didn’t scare you or anything.”
Bentley: “No, it’s fine. I just…don’t wanna lose you again. I would’ve made the contessa pay.”
Penelope: “it’s ok now, I’m here. And I kinda learned a lesson from all this. I shouldn’t have been so overconfident, even with how easy everything’s going so far…”
Thus begins their romantic arc.
—————————
HE WHO TAMES THE IRON HORSE
The first half of missions stay pretty much the same, but during the second half to get the clockwerk stomach from the third iron horse and Neyla shows up, once again Bentley and Penelope use their RC choppers to take her down.
————————-
MENACE FROM THE NORTH
Again, the missions stay the same here, but with some differences like both Penelope and Murray competing in the RC combat club under disguises. And during the lumberjack games there’s a part where Penelope partakes in an ice skating round. And of course, the gang sabotage the games and take the judges’ places but Jean bison knew it was them and knocks all four of them out with the clockwerk talons.
Once again you play two player mode with Bentley and Penelope, this time during Bison’s boss battle. Dialogue after the battle…
Penelope: “Who’s the stew-pid one now, huh?”
Jean: “Tarnation! I’ve been Done in by some four-eyed turtle and rodent? Times have changed…”
Bentley: “Once again, brains triumph over brawn.”
Penelope: “You said it.”
Once that’s done, the four race to the northern light battery to stow aboard arpeggio’s blimp.
————————-
ANATOMY FOR DISASTER
The missions go the same except for one difference. During a mission, Penelope suddenly says something that surprises Bentley…
Penelope: “Bentley, in case something bad happens should clock-wa win, I just wanna say that I…L…Lo…”
But before she could say it, She gets ambushed by guards. Bentley takes them all down and Checks to see if Penelope is alright, which she is, and is grateful for once again rescuing her.
We get to the final boss where Sly and Carmelita take clock-la down, The mechanical bird crashes down, Bentley removes the hate chip but the beak crushes and paralyzes him. Both Murray and Penelope rescue Bentley and the gang make it out just in time as clock-la explodes, the parts laying scattered around. The cooper gang won.
Penelope is shocked and devastated to see Bentley injured but happy that he’s still alive. Carmelita arrives, destroys the hate chip, sly turns himself in to let his friends go, then he escapes from Carmelita, ending the game.
———————————
COMIC BETWEEN GAMES 2
After sly gets info about the cooper vault from his father’s old friend mcsweeny, sly and Murray both find Bentley at the hospital, they plan the cooper vault heist, But of course this is where Murray leaves the gang and heads to Australia to undergo the dream time mystic arts. Sly and Bentley knew they had to convince their friend, but first they needed to find Penelope. Like Murray, Penelope felt like she didn’t do a good enough job protecting Bentley, so she had been going through a lot of physical training to make sure nothing like that happens again. After some boxing practice at a 24-hour gym she leaves, 20 minutes into her walk she bumps into sly and bentley, whom she’s happy to see and hugs Bentley. He tells her that it’s not her fault he got crippled and she felt better already. Penelope also marvels at Bentley’s newly modified wheelchair, while he marvels at how much stronger she became thanks to her training. they tell her about the cooper vault and she accepted the offer.
—————————
SLY 3:
PROLOGUE
we start off on kaine island, Bentley and sly open up their intercoms and Bentley mentions the gang is ready. We only see the gang’s silhouettes but can make out their voices. Sly sneaks his way through the island with some help from the gang, reaches the vault but Dr M arrives and their interaction stays the same. Sly and Bentley escape but Dr M and his mutated monster arrive. The abomination grabs Bentley, sly throws his cane to save him, the monster grabs sly and everything fades to white, then the cinematic cutscene starting the game.
—————————-
TUTORIAL
The hazard room tutorials stay the same, with the addition of new ones for Penelope like her own Combat including new boxing moves, RC vehicles and she can now pickpocket thanks to a little flying drone she can activate. She even has new thief net upgrades like ankle braces that help her jump higher or new armor and weapons for her RC gizmos.
—————————
AN OPERA OF FEAR
We start off with sly, Penelope and Bentley trying to find Murray’s whereabouts.
Sly of course sneaks into the police station, meets dimitri and they work out a deal for sly to break him out of jail while sly distracts the cops, Carmelita chases him, he reunited with Murray and the two escape.
The missions are pretty much the same again, with some differences. like for example during the gondola mission where sly, Bentley and Penelope have to take out the blue vipers, it once again had optional two-player mode where Sly and Bentley take one gondola while Penelope takes the other. Then during the mission where sly has to bomb the supports to Octavio’s balloons advertising his comeback recital, Bentley and Penelope supply sly with bombs, but when sly knocks the sign snagging the second balloon he hears the two geniuses screaming over the intercom. Sly races back to the fireworks stand where Penelope was alright but Don Octavio has gotten Bentley. Dialogue…
Penelope: “let him go, you big bully!”
Sly: “put our friend down or I’m gonna knock out all of your teeth, one at a time, and make you eat ‘em.”
Octavio: “Such tough words from little tiny pipsqueaks. You’re pathetic! Back in my day, we had enforcers that would make people pee their pants just by looking at them!”
Sly: “Believe us old timer, we don’t make idle threats.”
Octavio: “I know all about you and your crack little gang. you ain’t nothing without this turtle’s brains! So I figured I’ll just scoop em out real slow and use em to fertilize my tomato plants!”
Bentley: “I’m allergic to tomatoes! (Octavio runs off with him) SLYYYY! PENELOPEEEE!”
Penelope and sly both chase Octavio down until he gives up and tosses Bentley back at them but luckily Penelope catches him and places him down gently.
Next is where Murray meets up with both Bentley and Penelope in the tar drum ball form mission. Here’s some dialogue…
Bentley: “come on, what happened to the Murray? The guy who’d get into a fist fight with ten thugs wearing nothing but a towel?”
Penelope: “the guy who used to punch first and not bother asking questions later?”
Both: “where’s that guy? Where’s our old friend?”
Murray: “I…I’m sorry guys, especially you Bentley. I tried to save you, but I just wasn’t strong enough.”
Bentley: “get over it, Murray. I don’t blame you and never have! The only thing I feel bad about is losing our pal.”
Murray: “look, I wanna help you guys. You’re like my second best friends. It’s just that I promised I’d stay here and peacefully meditate until the black water ran pure.”
Penelope: “Well what if you could help us peacefully? You wouldn’t have to punch anyone.”
Murray: “I’m in! Keep it peaceful, and I’ll smash up anything you’d like!”
After that mission, Penelope and Murray have another chat…
Penelope: “listen Murray…(hugs him) I get why you did the things you did, to be honest I still can’t forgive myself either. Felt like I could’ve done more if I wasn’t weak.”
Murray: “What? you’re not weak, Penelope. In fact, when you hugged me, I noticed you were a little stronger.”
Penelope: “yeah, I’ve been going through some stuff. I just wanna let you know that I’m not mad at you either. In fact, I wanna help you and that to tell you there’s always a place for you in the cooper gang.”
Murray: “thanks Penelope, it really means a lot. I just don’t wanna screw up again.”
Penelope: “you won’t. Cause we’re gonna do this thing together.”
This fist bump each other and hug one last time before heading their separate ways.
The final mission, operation tar-be-gone, plays out the same. Opera battle, Carmelita arrives, the cooper gang chase down and shoot down Octavio in the canals. After Octavio crashes and uses the demolition switch, Bentley tries to stop him but the old mob boss knocks him down. This not only angers Murray, but Penelope as well. Murray rips off his fossil necklace, punches Octavio and of course Penelope also sucker punches him.
Murray: “The Murray returns!”
Penelope: “Yeah! No one messes with us!”
Once again, it’s a one or two player option where you can play as just Murray or Murray and Penelope. The boss battle ensues, sly uses the tar spits to slow down Octavio while Murray and Penelope bring the smack down on him. Soon Octavio is defeated and arrested, the cooper gang make their escape and are back together again, wrapping up the episode.
—————————
RUMBLE DOWN UNDER
The gang was glad to be back together again, but Murray still felt guilty about abandoning his Dreamtime training, so the gang helped him out and the four head to the Australian Outback. Murray told them story after story about the guru and his amazing abilities, and Sly knew that the guru would be the perfect recruit for the cooper vault job. But when they finally arrived at the outback, they were shocked to see that miners have taken over and drilled into the landscape. After sly found the guru imprisoned, The first thing they needed to do was to purify the landscape and chase away the miners.
Once again, the mission play out the same, but with differences like when Penelope meets the guru herself, she’s tasked with using her RC chopper to take out the other choppers patrolling the landscape. After the guru is freed, it was time for the second half. When it came time to do the bar brawl mission, the cooper gang needed to act tough and angry, but Penelope was unsure.
Bentley: “I’m not sure I can do it. How do you guys get angry?”
Murray: “find the match deep inside yourself. Light it, and let the fire burn up your guts and boil your blood!”
Sly: “uh yeah, I’d pretty much do the same thing.”
Penelope: “are you sure these guys are tough? I don’t think are.”
But she doesn’t stop the boys from doing their thing. Inside the bar, the lemonade drinking contest ensues, only this time it’s four vs four as Penelope competes as well. But when the dingos accuse Bentley of cheating, it was time for a brawl, Switching out different perspectives from fighting as Bentley, Sly, Penelope and Murray. After that was over, the jacked up dingo possessed by the mask of dark earth enters the bar. The boss fight plays out with Sly distracting the dingo, Bentley setting his bombs and Murray and Penelope throwing stuff at the dingo. The boss is defeated and the mask jumps off but it doesn’t leave the bar. It looks for a new host…
Sly: “finally, that guy was tough! Let’s get outta here!”
Murray: “uh guys? Where’s the mask?”
The boys turn around and gasp. The mask was now on Penelope!
Penelope: “what? Why are you staring at me like that? Ooooh…I’m feeling strange all of a sudden…(grows in size, her voice deepens) what’s happening…to…meeeeRAAAAAGH!”
The possessed Penelope runs out of the bar. Now they really need to destroy that mask. Instead of the gator feeding mission, Murray and the guru have to try and get the mask off Penelope without hurting her but of course she gets away. During operation moon crash, the guru has to again distract Penelope while Murray posing as the moon spirit is suspended from a crane. But things go wrong when Carmelita arrives, but they can’t stop the mission now. Murray crashes onto Penelope, the mask comes off and she’s back to normal.
Penelope: “ow my head…what happened? Murray? What are you doing?“
Murray: “sorry I had to do that Penelope, but it was for your own good!”
Now comes the part where the mask latches itself onto Carmelita, she grows in size and gets even bigger. The gang had to get the mask off her face so sly volunteers. After climbing up her and have her knock the mask off, she shrinks back to normal and the mask is destroyed. Carmelita lays there unconscious but the cooper gang kept watch over her throughout the night, sly finds her camera and they have fun with it taking goofy pictures and messing around (Penelope’s poses in those pictures have her squishing her cheeks, flexing, making kiss faces and posing like a diva), and leave the next morning just as Carmelita wakes up. With the landscape now clear of miners, The guru joins the gang and the episode wraps up.
————————-
FLIGHT OF FANCY
In this canon this episode is majorly different.
It’s discovered that a new dogfight competition called ACES is being held in holland, and it’s hosted by the black baron. Now we all know that in the original game Penelope was the black baron, but in this AU the baron is a full-blown character and actual villain. In this chapter we find out that Penelope is not just an RC specialist or second in hand muscles, but also wants to become a pilot. With the black baron as a full-blown character here, there’s some actual history and personal drama in this as The reason why Penelope wants to become a good pilot is because not only was the baron a childhood hero of hers, but her parents were also pilots. She always dreamed of becoming a pilot herself, But things took a horrible turn when her parents died in a plane crash and she was sent to the orphanage when she was six. Some say the crash was an accident, some say someone planned for that to happen but the perp was never caught. The gang decided to help Penelope prove her worth and avenge her own biological family. After building a plane and sly and Penelope getting their pilots licenses the fastest way possible, the gang set for holland to compete in the ACES tournament.
Sly meets up with dimitri in the holland hotel and gets some info about the flight roster after agreeing to owe dimitri a favor in the future, we are introduced to the black baron, and the first half of the missions begin. During the mission with Murray defending the cooper plane from Muggshot and his goons, and a one or two player mission where Bentley and Penelope activate the hanger defenses and Penelope uses her RC chopper to get rid of guards and tanks. The first dogfighting round is also one or two player where you play as both sly and Penelope taking out teams Iceland and Belgium.
The second half of missions of course have Bentley Roasting muggshot and Sly tricking Carmelita into taking out the big lug, The guru hijacking a giant wolf and Bentley hacking into the windmills. During the final round, sly and Penelope take down the black baron who retrieves onto the wing of a larger plane but Penelope goes after him in her first solo boss fight.
Penelope: “oh no you don’t, you weasel!”
BB: “weasel am I?”
Penelope: “we beat you, your biplane is in pieces!”
BB: “Bur we’re both still airborne aren’t we? I’m surprised that someone like you knows how to fly a plane well. The last person I knew who could fly like that was….Wait…it can’t be…you’re Persephone and Claudius’ daughter?!”
Penelope: “you knew my parents?”
Penelope is surprised that the baron knew her parents, and he replies that he used to be good friends with them before she was born, but he was always jealous of how much better they were than him. And with his corruption of power, he had to take them out and show everyone that nothing could top the black baron. So yes, the baron was the one who killed her parents. And the reason why he was never considered a suspect for their demises is that he planned the attack and made it look like Persephone and Claudius crashed their planes on accident by sabotaging their planes. Penelope is angry at this, one of the people she looked up to as a hero was nothing more than a monster. This was it, time to prove her worth and avenge her parents.
The boss fight is the same, The baron charges and punches but Penelope dodges and boxes the baron until he is defeated, in which he falls off the wing to an unknown fate. Penelope stands victorious just as Sly arrives to get her off the wing and onto his plane.
At the end it’s Penelope’s time to shine. She is deemed champion of the ACES games, avenged her parents and and the baron, who miraculously survived the fall and landed in a lake, is called out for his crimes and is not only kicked out of his own competition for good, but also arrested by the police. sly didn’t care about the trophy and prize, he’s just happy that Penelope got her time to shine and that she’s gone a long way. Of course we also get a little interaction between Bentley and Penelope and let’s just say their feelings for each other start to grow more and more. That wraps up the third episode.
————————-
A COLD ALLIANCE
During the mission where Murray finds the team van frozen in ice and after Penelope uses her RC choppers to drag it to Murray, both of them work together to fight off the guards and get the van back to the hideout with the panda king help clearing the way for them. The RC car race up the mountain plays the same except at the end where Penelope comes up the mountain after her RC car to untie Murray and they both hug.
The final boss fight plays out a little differently, While sly fights the dragon to save Penelope, Panda king battles tsao during a second half.
—————————
DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES
During the dynamic duo mission, some dialogue has been changed like leave out “sly’s taught you a lot” where Bentley wishes he wasn’t in a wheelchair but Penelope reminds him that he’s amazing with that chair. Like in canon, the missions lead to the gang getting a ship to sail to dagger island, retrieve dimitri’s grandfather’s diving gear but captain Lefwee arrives and holds Penelope hostage. She may be strong, but lefwee’s crew were way too strong for her and they were to subdue her for the time being. While she does ultimately fight back, lefwee is smart and figures out how to subdue her for the time being. Just like in canon, the cooper gang do the missions to upgrade their ship canons and meet the crusher in order to save Penelope.
After all that, now comes the lefwee boss battle, where after sly tricks lefwee, guru controls the crusher, Bentley frees Penelope and She and Lefwee battle it out with a sword duel. Once again, Penelope is victorious and lefwee is sent to Davy jones’ locker. Penelope and Bentley’s relationship fully blossoms into a boyfriend-girlfriend thing, and sly’s happy for them that they’re able to connect through all these crazy adventures that they’ve had over the years.
————————
HONOR AMONG THIEVES
Like in canon, Carmelita arrives to save sly from Dr M’s monster. After that, the cooper gang find sly, get him onboard the ship and go through the canon missions like the guru controlling sharks, Dimitri diving to try and get the cane, sly wakes up from recovering from his injuries, Penelope using her RC car to destroy the towers and sly gets onboard his plane to take down Dr M.
Panda king launches the cooper van up to the vault entrance, and sly heads inside while Bentley, Penelope and Murray stay and guard.
Bentley wonders if Dr M was right about sly treating them as sidekicks, but Murray and Penelope assure him they’re not and that sly has always been the best friend and brother and they always stuck together no matter what. But they’re interrupted as Dr M’s minions break in. Murray fights the hybrids while Bentley and Penelope once again have a one or two player segment where you take down Dr M.
The final boss battle plays out the same with sly getting rescued by Carmelita and he saves her from the blast, Bentley and the others make it out safely and Dr M is crushed under the falling rocks of the collapsing cave.
The rest of the gang find the vault but couldn’t find sly anywhere, but they know that he’s still alive and just like in canon, the gang went their separate ways. Bentley and Penelope build a new vault and Bentley drops a hint of a time machine. And that end with Bentley checking on sly and Carmelita from the rooftops, and turns out sly is faking amnesia as proven by sly winking at Bentley, who replies “that sneaky devil!”
——————————
SLY 4
PROLOGUE
Bentley and Penelope were living happily in their own lab and have completed the construction of their time machine.

TURNING JAPANESE TO CLAN OF THE CAVE RACCOON
The game here is basically the same so far.
————————
OF FROGS AND MECHS
While planning on rescuing sir galleth, Bentley was still worried about Penelope, but Sly assured him that they’ll find her. Sir galleth is rescued and he tells them about the black knight, the rest of the missions go the same but when it came time to follow the black knight to the blacksmith’s, things go differently. Bentley followed the black knight up in the rafters of the blacksmiths, eavesdropping on his conversations on how he plans on stopping the cooper gang and how “operation overlord” will make him unstoppable. When he mentioned Penelope and how he stole Bentley’s time machine plans with the help of le paradox, it made the turtle’s heart sink. He swore on his mother’s shell that he would crush the black knight himself. After more spying, maneuvering over obstacles and hacking, Bentley makes it to the end of the blacksmiths where the black knight reveals who he really is…Sir Raleigh the frog! And there was someone else there too….Penelope! Turns out Le paradox kidnapped her because he knew about her and Bentley’s time
Machine and has Raleigh hold her hostage, forcing her to build his robot army and mech under blackmail. Penelope was too scared to fight back because she knew Raleigh would hurt her and Bentley if she didn’t comply. Bentley was angry and vowed to get back at Raleigh and rescue his girlfriend.
When Bentley returned to the hideout and told the gang that sir Raleigh was the one behind the robots and was holding Penelope hostage and against her will, they were glad to have some answers but sad to hear what happened. Sly was not pleased to hear that a villain he knew from the past who had a hand in murdering his parents and stealing some pages of the thievious raccoonus was behind this, but he still comforted his brainiac friend and assured him that they were gonna rescue Penelope one way or another. The plan was to get into the castle and stop Raleigh. Engage operation “frog trap”.
After acquiring materials for homemade bombs made from fire bulbs and Merlin’s magic powder that sly and Galleth gathered, and Murray setting them around the castle moat to detonate the drawbridge open, the cooper gang head off to take down Sir Raleigh! Bentley stayed behind to gather recourses for a useful invention to use later on. Once inside the castle, the gang saw Raleigh in his black knight mech suit just standing there. Galleth, being the energetic knight that he is, charges into battle, but that goes badly and Sly and Raleigh engage in battle. The huge mech is destroyed and Raleigh was about to deliver the final blow but luckily Bentley comes to the rescue in his own mech suit. Another battle ensues but Raleigh had the upper hand and knocks Bentley down. Before the amphibian could finish the job, Penelope comes leaping in to the rescue! She managed to escape from the workshop, now ready to fight. Raleigh and Penelope engage in a sword fight, but Penelope comes out victorious and finishes the fight with a QuickTime event, tossing Raleigh to a wall knocking him out. Penelope and Bentley free sly, she hugs them both and was so glad to see them, saying that she tried to fight back and that this whole time travel fiasco is her fault. Sly and Bentley tell her it’s ok and the only one to blame is le paradox. After dimitri informs the others about ancient Arabia, Penelope provides them with an Arabian coin to take them there, and on the ride through time, Bentley and Penelope had some quality time, so happy to see each other. Thus wrapping up episode 4.

40 THIEVES
Penelope has some interactions with Carmelita and the two become closer for being the only girls on the team. She also has some funny interactions with salim like when he tries to get her to try fried scorpion claws. She’s also playable on the field once again, and during up in smoke, heavy metal meltdown and before the final boss. Latter’s Differences are that instead of Carmelita belly dancing, Penelope builds a robot to distract the guards instead. She even uses her RC car to hack into the time travel blimp security. She even assists sly in miss decibel’s boss battle by again sword fighting with the pachyderm.

FINALE
Penelope, Bentley and Murray all bring five of the sly’s ancestors into the present to help them retrieve their canes. After that, they and Carmelita escape the blimp except for sly who stays behind to battle le paradox. After the final battle and le paradox slips and falls off the blimp, sly paraglides down to safety where his friends were waiting and happy to see him make it out safely.
Le paradox is arrested, cooper history is saved and the gang went their separate ways, thus ending the game. Bentley and Penelope get engaged and start work on a bigger project, like multiverse travel.
Thus completes this AU of Penelope joining the cooper gang early.
Literature
Piff VS Sumo Fetishist.
Sumo Fetishists: How dare you act like an obviously Japanese character turning into a sumo wrestler is racial insensitive, do you not know there are sumo that aren't Japanese?
Piff: As someone who actually IS Japanese, this is still doing Japan a disservice in someway. No I am not talking about actual sumo wrestlers who aren't fat and aren't Japanese I mean a caucassian character turning Japanese and turning into a sumo wrestler. And people that do this fetish in art form aren't doing it to pay homage to a respected Japanese tradition, oh no...they do it because they have a fat fetish. They think sumos are all fat when actually they are not. This isn't about honoring a tradition, this is about 'hurr hurr big fat Japanese men wrestling each-other make me go burr', to them it's cuffing season and they need a big boy. I am sorry but why weight gain, it's something that happens IRL and it's not sexy, Werebelushi is right, those gainer accounts are creepy. I'm the one that is
