Imagine how Samurai Jack and Sly Cooper would meet:
Samurai Jack is wandering around an abandoned stone palace. Sly Cooper climbs up on one of tre pillars trying to make a surprise attack but Jack anticipates it by dodging it. Jack unsheats his sword.
Sly:"Whoa! Tough guy, I see. And that's a very valuable sword."
Jack:"A talking tanuki? And moving like a ninja too.."
Sly:"Uhm.. first of all, I'm a raccoon. And second, well thanks. Hm, I'd say you're not a criminal.
Jack:"My intentions are noble and pure, raccoon. And if you get in my way, it will not end well for you".
Sly:"Hey, calm down. I don't want any conflict. I was only putting you to test, and I'd say you're a very skilled fighter. What's your name?"
Jack:"They call me Jack. Samurai Jack."
Sly:"I'm Sly. Sly Cooper. And I'm a thief".
Sly:"I see you don't trust me yet, do you?. Well, luckily I won't steal your sword. It would be fun, for sure. But you're not a jerk."
Sly:"Well, the Cooper Clan steals only to other thieves and criminals. So, you're not on my list. But, just for curiosity, what is your purpose?"
Jack puts away his sword and sits down. Sly does the same and listens.
Jack:"I am... not born in this time period. I come from the past. An evil demon named Aku flunged me in this dark future. My purpose is to return home, defeat Aku... and save my people."
Sly:"Oh... I see. You're really a noble hero. Well, I guess I should leave then. It was a pleasure meeting someone with good intentions and doesn't want to kill or arrest me..."
Jack:"Wait, young raccoon".
Jack:"Tell me more about you"
Sly:"Uh... ok. I am the last member of the Cooper Clan. I inherited from my father a family book that contains hundreds of special heist tecniques..."
Sly talks about the Thievius Racconus, Clockwerk, the murder of his family and how he met his friends.
Sly:"... and now I've achieved the title of Master Thief".
Jack:"Hm, that's a great story. Now I am going to put you on test".
Jack throws his sword to Sly who dodges it by using the Spire Jump and landing on the sword's handle.
Jack:"Really impressive. How is this tecnique called?"
Sly:"The Spire Jump. From my japanese ancestor Rioichi"
Sly jumps off and gives the sword back to Jack.
Sly:"I see you've been trained".
Jack:"That's right. I've learned many fighting styles during my training to face Aku"
Sly:"You know, you and I are not so different"
Jack:"Indeed. (chuckles and smiles). It is so bizarre that I made friend a talking raccoon thief. But it does not matter. Would you like some tea?"
Sly:"Uhm... yes. Maybe we can spend our time by talking about how many fighting styles you learned".
Jack:"And I am curious to learn from you more tecniques".
Sly:"That would be a pleasure. I'll lend to you the Thievius Racconus if you want".
Jack:"Very well, my friend"
