Hi, my name is Sandra. Sandra Cooper and I'm a thief. Stealing is the family business. I have two brothers, Benjamin, the Brains of our group, and Carlos, the Brawns, also the explosives. We are the Cooper Trio. One of the world's most wanted, and one of Inspector Garrett Wolf's most criminal chasing with a shock pistole. Inspector Wolf and I go back a while. I was his Moriarty, though. Without the mass genocide, I am very tricky, though. The Interpol police were after us, but high time evil criminals were too because of the family name. Everyone knows you can't out steal a Cooper thief. Though I am not afraid no one can catch... until that's what I thought.

In the city of Paris, a family of five laugh and enjoy the lovely night in their tranquil tiny home. A little female red raccoon started running around laughing, along with a slight male grey raccoon and an orange fox, as an older male grey raccoon chased them around. The older female fox watched in amusement at what was playing in front of her. "You can't catch us, officer daddy!!" yelled the little red raccoon with glee " You'll never catch the Cooper Trio alive!!" "Will see about that!" as they run around while climbing over obstacles. "Gotcha! Time for the tickle prison for you, mister" Ahhhhhh!! I've been caught! Help Benjy, Sandy!" yelled the little fox. "I don't want to go to tickle prison. You know I'm very ticklish.". The female red raccoon looked in shock then turned around while grabbing the taller grey raccoon. "Quick, Benjy, we must help our younger brother Carlos." Your right Sandy! Hop on my back, sis. Let's save Carlos!"
she climbed up her brother's back, they went charging at the older grey raccoon, yelling, "Tickle attack!!" jumping and tickling the male raccoon as he fell over laughing as the younglings were 'saving' the little fox. "Alright! Alright! I surrender!" he said through a fit of laughter. The three gather together. "Yay! Cooper Trio wins again!"Quick let us stash the treasure in the Cooper Vault." the female raccoon said while holding up a drawn picture of treasure chess with gold and rubies. The three ran to a little fort made of blankets and pillows. The male raccoon looked at them with a smile and laughed at how excited their little faces were. Getting up, he walked up to his wife, hugging her while watching his little kits playing. She was reminding him of his old times with his gang. Smiling, he signed with content, "How did I get so lucky?" questioning no one in particular. "You know I ask the same thing to ring-tail." the female fox said to her husband. She was none other than Carmelita Fox or Carmelita Cooper now that she was married to Sly Cooper, the most famous thief in all of Paris.
He chuckled, giving her a smirk while holding onto her tight, and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. She couldn't help but blush at his actions. It has been years since Sly has retired from his thieving life, but they had many amazing adventures together during those years, now they settled down in a lovely little house, and Sly decided to work back on Interpol as Sly, not Constable. The two got closer without having to lie to one another anymore. Then Sly finally had the guts to ask Carmelita to marry him. He made his wish come true, but only to add to that wish when he figured out that Carmelita was pregnant with Benjamin, who is now 8 years old. Sly would have thought that Benjamin would be a thief like him, but to his surprise, he was the brains much like Bently, but it didn't stop him from loving his son.
When Carmelita told the news to him again that she was pregnant, he was thrilled to hear that news. That was his little girl Sandra. Sandra was born the runt. She was small compared to most girls her age and didn't have enough vitamins. The doctors said themselves it was a miracle that she lived, but they had faith that she would make it, and she did. She managed to get in better shape and grew a bit, but when she got older, the doctors estimated that she would be 4'9 or smaller when she turned 15 when most girls stopped growing. Though Sly didn't care, he was happy with his little girl, and she would always be there to put a smile on her family's face. She took her looks and actions from both parents, making her a handful like Sly.
Carlos Cooper looks like Carmelita, but he knows how to keep his anger in check than his older brother, but he would tend to freak out a bit since he is the youngest. Despite his age, Carlos was more athletic than his siblings, not as flexible as Sandra or a brainiac like Benjamin, but he was pretty intense for a kid his age. Sly was happy with his three kids. He wouldn't trade his family for anything in the world and always promised to protect them since he knew the dangers of a Cooper. Seeing the kids grow a bit, he notices how they would act as a gang, just as Bently, Murray, and he were during his times.
Benjamin, the oldest, was the brains of the gang. He is a smart kid for his age, and even Bently was surprised with how brilliant Benjamin is. Carlos is the youngest, is vital for a kid his age, and has a pretty high pain tolerance. Finally, Sandra, she's may be tiny, but she's a very sneaky kid. Like Sly, she was witty, intelligent, clever, slippery, and cool-headed, but she also gained some of Carmelita's traits. Her petite frame allowed her to get around quickly.
"Alright now, kids, it's time for bed," said Carmelita as she went near the little fort. The three of them looked disappointed at this news. "Awwww. Mom, we were having such a great time. Benjy even made a plan on how we can steal the pink panther diamond from the evil Doctor Pork Chop." said the little female raccoon to her mother. "Well, that would have to wait." Carmelita said, "Besides, even great little thieves need their rest." "Okay." The three of them went to their rooms, getting ready for the night.
Sly got up and went to a secret door that led to a study. There was a large study table in the middle in front of a window, a cozy little fireplace, along with an armchair and coffee table. The room also had bookshelves with many books and pictures spread across the room. So many of them were from Sly's time in the orphanage from when he first met Murray and Bently, then went on to each highest and adventure during their years.
He went towards a picture of the gang when they went to stop Doctor M. from stealing the Cooper vault. He opened it, at behind it was the small vault. Putting the combo to the safe, he got out a large book called the Thievius Raccoonus. This book was passed down to each Cooper at the age of eight to learn the ways of the thieving life. Sly goes to the table and sits down, putting the book in front of him. He looks over a picture on the corner of the table. It was a family picture that they took not too long ago. Carmelita was sitting down in an armchair holding Carlos on her lap, and Benjamin was in the middle between him and Carmilta, while Sandra was on top of his shoulders wearing his hat that belonged to his father. Sly smiled at this. He couldn't ask for a better life. He heard a creak from the door as he opened the book. Looking up, he saw the sores of the noise.
"Daddy, can I come in? I had a nightmare, and I didn't want to disturb Mommy since she is already asleep." said the little female raccoon. Sly looked at Sandra and smiled at her. "Of course, sweety," he replied. Sandra went toward her father and sat on his lap. Sandra loves both her parents, but she was closer to her father than her brothers were with their mom. "Can you tell me a story?" she asked her father. Sandra would usually have nightmares, but she never understood what it meant (since she was young) and would go to her father, who would tell her stories of the Cooper clan. Sly smiled and agreed to tell her a story if she promised to sleep afterward. She nodded her head, yes, and Sly told her the story of how He, Bently, and Murray defeated the Findies Five.
As Sly told Sandra what happened, neither of them noticed metallic being outside looking menacing at them. As Sly was getting to how he saved Carmelita, the Being went crashing down, startling the two raccoons. This also woke up Carmelita, who got out of bed to see what happened. Then the front door went crashing down as Multiple figures came in, ransacking the house tearing things apart. Seeing this, Carmelita went to her two sons' rooms, getting them to safety. Benjamin and Carlos put the two boys in a little shack with a safe space hidden behind a bookshelf. Bently built it in case of emergencies. As Carmelita was about to close the door, she looked at her sons' and said, "It will be fine, stay here and wait for uncle Bently and Murray. Okay?" They nodded yes. She closed the door then went back to get Sly and Sandra.
With Sly. He fought the metallic creature as it swiped at him from left to right, injuring him. Sly pushed it back with his cane, then looked back to see Sandra, who was hiding under his study table. As sly was going toward her, he heard metal flapping, tackling him down giving a severe gash across his back. He yelled as he fought the metal being again, this time hitting it in the eye. It screeched in pain fly back, trying to regain its focus as warning signs appeared in front of it. Sandra looked at the metal being. It looked like a bird, but she wasn't paying attention to the Being's detail, but its red eyes showed hate and anger within them. It reminded her of the nightmares she had each night, but her focus was torn away from them when her father picked her up and ran out of the room.
The creature regained its focus and saw the two raccoons escape the room. It was inraged as they ran, but he saw the fireplace as the little fire danced around, caught in its beauty. It grabbed a chunk of wood with the flame caught with it. An idea sparked through the bird as it smiled with glee as it dropped the wood on the carpet. Enjoying the site left the room to chase down the family end the line with no leaks.
Sly ran down fast to get Sandra to safety in the safe room. He was then met with a group of goons surrounding him. He looked around him to find a way out while holding his daughter tight, but to no avail, he was trapped. As they got closer, a shot was heard taking out one of the criminals leaving him paralyzed. They all turn to see Carmelita holding her shock pistol with an angry face if looks can kill all the criminals with be six underground. Taking this time in surprise, Sly knocked one out, and Carmelita shocked the others with her pistole. "Glad to see you, Carmelita," he said to his mate, "I thought you were with the boys?" she looked at him with worry all over her face as she saw all the injuries Sly had. She then answered, "I was, but I need to make sure you and Sandra were okay." as she looked over her daughter, still in shock, " Glad I did, you were in serious trouble ring-tail."
Sly chuckled, a bit glad she came but was still worried for her safety. That's when he smelled something. He turned and saw black smoke coming toward them along with angry flames consuming everything in its path. SLy looked in shock, then grabbed Carmelita's hand, running out before the fire caught up but were blocked by the Metal bird. It chuckled in delight as it saw the family cowering before him. Sly passed Sandra to Carmelita and the family book as he ran toward the Being. Carmelita was terrified of what would happen, so she ran with Sandra and the book in her arms and left her outside. "Sandra, look at me," she said to the little female raccoon, "I need you to run to the safe room, okay, and don't come out." Sandra was shocked at what her mother said and started crying, "No, No, come with us, please." Said in desperation. "Sandra, take this." Carmelita said while giving her daughter the family book, " You will be okay, we will come back, but right now, I must help daddy, okay?"
Sandra looked into her mother's eyes. She didn't want to leave, but she knew she must have faith in her mother and nodded. Carmelita hugged her daughter, then let go running into the burning house. Carmelita went in, dodging the many flaming obstacles while trying to get to her husband. Sly fought ferociously while avoiding many of the flames trying to engulf him. The metal is being attacked with hate and anger in its eyes. As he blocked an attack from the bird, he didn't notice he was being pushed back to a corner with no way out. When Sly realized this, he knew that this would be the end. Sly accepted his faith in the enemy's eyes, knowing that his family would be safe. Just as the metal bird was about to end its prey with a single swipe, it let out a piercing screech of pain. Looking back to see what has it them, it saw Carmelita with her shock pistol aiming right at it again, causing it to feel an amens amount of pain to erupt around its body. Enraged, it flew straight towards her. Sly saw this causing him to yell at her to move, but it was too late for it clawed at the female fox, leaving her with severe injuries. Sly was enraged and ran towards the bird, fighting it off again.
The metallic bird backed off as it stared at the male raccoon. Its red bloodshot eyes were cracked but still struck fear into the raccoon. It then flapped its wings charging at him but turned away, escaping the firey house. Sly was shocked but didn't dwell much on it. Instead, he grabbed Carmelita and ran to the exit.
Just as he got closer to the exit, it then collapsed on him, selling off the only door. He set down Carmelita and tried to move the debris but was unsuccessful. Sandra saw this and began to run up to her father with piles of wood blocking her and her father. "Daddy!!" she said to her father as pools of tears dripped from her dirty face creating smudges. Sly looked at her, knowing what he must do, grabbed his cane and hat, and gave it to his daughter with a sad expression. In shock, Sandra looked at her father, shook her head no, and tried to move the heavy wood. "No! No! No!" she cried. "That's your cane! Grandpa gave it to you." "And now it's yours," he told his daughter and put the hat on her head while he also slipped the cane through, grabbed her hands, and put the cane on them.
Sandra cried, knowing there was nothing she could do, looked at her father's eyes, and Sly looked back, smiling and telling her one last time,e "Go." and she obeyed, running away from the burning house. When he saw she was gone, he turned back to Carmelita. He held her close, listening to her slow heartbeat as the smoke-filled his lungs, feeling tired with no once of energy at all. 'I think I will take a nap.' he thought as he closed his eyes only to never open them along with his wife.
Outside Sandra ran toward the safe house, to stop and look at the burning building. Ran then poured down, drenching the little red raccoon as she looked at her home and said in the quiet voice, "I love you." Then she turned around, locking herself in the safe house with her brothers, who looked at her with worried expressions. Not looking at them in the eyes, they realized that they were alone with only each other to comfort.
