Plot[]
Prologue:[]
The story begins from where the secret ending of the last game left off: Sly Cooper has ended up in Ancient Egypt after the explosion of Le Paradox's blimp. He explores the ancient Egypt city, and meets one of his ancestors, Slytunkhamen Cooper I, the ancestor who created the Thievius Raccoonus, and discovers he's in the time of when Slytunkhamen was around, but then, a strange villain grabs them. In the present day, in Paris, Bentley and Murray have still been tracking the whereabouts of Sly Cooper, but have had no luck. But one day, Inspector Carmelita Fox turns up, having received a letter from an unknown citizen, telling her the location of Sly's whereabouts. With the help of Sly's long lost cousin, Ian James Cooper, they steal an Egyptian scarab, confiscated from the now-condemned Le Paradox's collection from a new museum in Paris, Bentley, Murray, Carmelita and Ian, set off to Egypt to save Sly Cooper, in the time machine, and Dimitri is tasked to look after the Thievius Raccoonus.
