The group had managed sneak into the forest.

Bentley:Alright, tracker says they should be this way.

Carmelita's heart was pounding. She was so worried about Ethan.

Sly:Don't worry, Carm. We'll find them.

Meanwhile, Julie and Ethan were continuing to run and hide from the villains.

Julie:This is getting ridiculous.

Ethan:Maybe we could try taking them.

Julie:Worth a shot.

Though, when the poked their heads out, they were greeted by Muggshot and Toothpick, who pointed their guns at the two.

Julie:Okay...that may not have been the best choice of words.

The two took off, with the villains firing their guns at them, thankfully they managed to dodge most of the shots.

Back with The Bad Guys and Cooper Gang, the signal began beeping like mad.

Bentley:That's odd...

Guru:What?

Bentley:They seem to be traveling at high speed in our dir-

He was interrupted by someone running into Penelope.

Panda King:What the?

The two people turned out to be Julie and Ethan.

Julie:Sorry.

Wolf and Diane hugged Julie.

Diane:Good to see you're in one piece

As soon as the two got back, Carmelita almost immediately hugged her son.

Carmelita:Mijo, thank God you're still alive!

Ethan was a little embarrassed. Though when she let go, he didn't look at either at of his parents.

Sly:I know. You're still upset at us at this whole thing. But it's not your fault. It's mostly ours. But we promise, when this is all over, things will be different.

Ethan smiled and embraced his parents.

???:Oh, you're all so forgiving, it makes me want to puke.

They turned to see Marmalade.

Penelope:Was that a complement or an insult?

Marmalade was about to answer but ended up stuttering.

Marmalade:I don't know.

Julie:Yeah...should've mentioned earlier that Marmalade was in on this. Mostly to get payback on us and The Cooper Gang from stealing from him.

Penelope:A guinea pig in a robot suit. I'd say we've seen weirded, but I don't think we have.

Marmalade:I get that a lot.

He boosted up and charged at them.

Panda King:Duck!

Marmalade flew over them. Murray grabbed the suit by the feet and slammed it on the ground.

Marmalade:Hey, no fair! I wasn't ready!

Dimitri:You are the one in a weaponized robot suit, you're one to talk about being fair.

Just then, the other villains soon caught up with the group. Clockwerk then flew in.

Clockwerk:How lovely. The whole family is here.

Guru:What happened to his eye?

Julie:I stabbed him when he was choking me.

Piranha:Woah...hardcore.

Carmelita:Clockwerk, if you laid ONE FINGER on my son, so help I-

Clockwerk:What? Turn me into a cube?

Sly:I really don't get it Clockwerk. You've hunted my family for years, why try to raise my son?

Clockwerk:Because, I realized that having a Cooper at my side could be so beneficial. The skills, the knowledge. Imagine the headlines.

Julie:How'd you even find out about Ethan anyway?

Clockwerk:Shortly after I was rebuilt, I began following Cooper's loved ones. And well, when I learned of Carmelita's son, it wasn't hard for me to put two and two together.

General Tsoa grabbed Ethan.

Tarantula:But that night at the museum, why did you say you were going to kill him?

Clockwerk:Because then his parents wouldn't come looking for him. Now, with that out of the way, Mz.Ruby, you made feed the rest of them to your pet.

Hyena:Sly, what does he mean by that?

Clockwerk:You will see soon.

Sly:If you do anything to my son, I will not hesitate to end you again!

Clockwerk:We'll see.

Sly:Stay strong, bud.

The villains then escorted to a strange pit area.

Snake:This does not bode well...
