This is Geronimo Stilton live from the home of Ratter Ratterberg,
the founder of the largest corporation Face Cheese Unlimited.
And here he is in fur and mustache.
Having conquered the world of computers and cheese,
he has decided to give away everything he owns and travel the world on a kayacht.
Now Ratterberg is waving goodbye to the precious cargo,
the Desert Gem.
He decided to send it back to where he found it, in the desert.
We hope you get there without problems.
- A stratopic scoop. - A great story.
Congratulations to myself
for winning a gigantic supply of sunscreen.
What am I doing now?
Help me my gem is missing!
Smurfart, I have drawn attention to the Desert Gem
and now every thief knows of its existence.
If he gets into the wrong hands, it's all my fault.
- We need to find her before that happens. - I'll help you. Let's see,
she was sent to the Rattara desert. Wow, that's huge!
How do we find a truck carrying a jewel in the middle of all that sand?
Try has to check the tracking signal.
- That's where it went off. - Is it possible to have a satellite image?
The desert is desert, it shouldn't be difficult.
Found ah! It must be that!
Wait, or is that it?
Or that other one?
Watch TV.
Sally Rasmousen, also in the desert? Already?
I am the first to officially announce it,
the Ratterberg gem has disappeared in the desert.
The treasure hunt to find her was unleashed.
Rattami, Prince Noguda, the brightest minds of our times
hope they can get their paws on the gem.
I would say the most rattesque pantegane of our times!
All this is thanks to Geronimo Stilton.
The famous actor Brie Pezzoforte. What are you doing here?
For advertising, it goes without saying!
Those rats rushed like vultures.
I have no other choice,
I will have to go to the desert and find that jewel.
We have sunscreen. Let's go!
Trap is not a holiday,
the Rattara desert is the least hospitable place on the planet.
We are about to land.
Let's get ready for the scorching sun,
the heat fry cheese and the swirling winds!
If you need my help, I'll be here reading Ratterberg's biography.
Well, at least we're sure we won't get burned.
Landing in five, four, three, two ... Trap!
Straight in the eye, sorry!
- For a whisker - Aio!
Off road version.
This is the most strenuous off-road in the world.
Well said! It has been modified to take on any terrain.
- Now let's think about finding that jewel again. - Easy, please!
I knew it, Geronimo Stilton!
Stilton is trying to steal the scoop from me. We have to reach him.
Let me do it!
For all the mozzarella, tell those rats to move!
We sowed them.
At least for now.
This is where the tracker switched off.
The question is, where was the truck headed? Perhaps the answer is here.
There are only two habitable places here. But the problem is another.
They are both very far away. Let's look for some clues.
- I look at the biography. - We explore the desert.
- What are we looking for? - We'll know when we find him.
- Could you help us? - No, I better be rested for later.
- Hey uncle! - Tire tracks.
They match those of Ratterberg's truck. Good boy!
They will take us to the gem.
- Sand storm. - No, the footprints!
- Let's go back to the Metamouse. - Yes, we can't lose track!
- This desert is unbearable. - Hurry. Stilton has the advantage.
He seemed oddly sure of which direction to take.
In my opinion he knows very well where the jewel is,
if we follow him he will take us straight to the gem.
Are you suggesting that we all work together?
- Got a better idea, ricotta head? - Collective hug!
- We'll split the loot, right? - Right!
This time we will crush Geronimo Stilton.
Wait for me!
We have lost our last hope!
And on top of that, we found company!
Look, they are encircling us!
Oh no, they think we know where the gem is.
Those scamorze have no chance against no.
- Prepare to attack! - Very gladly!
Smurfart! What was that?
Lunch on the way!
Now they are exaggerating!
You think about finding the jewel, I'll take care of them!
Thanks Tea, we are in your hands. Come on Benjamin!
Here timing is of the utmost importance.
- It's time to serve the second. - Attack! Ah!
Other tasty morsels? Take a seat, no problem!
- We'll never make it. - No, never say never.
I was thinking about something,
they want to steal the gem, but what if it's already been stolen?
You mean he might have been the driver?
He's our prime suspect,
what do we know about him?
Let's see the Face Cheese staff files.
- What did you find? - Face Cheese has no drivers.
- It's time to take a good turn. - Nice try Tea.
- Where did they go? - They seem to have evaporated.
What happens now?
It does not matter. Let's look at the footage we took of the truck.
Okay, zoom in on the cockpit.
There is no driver!
- I can't believe it, it's impossible. - I smell like a rotten rat.
It's my deodorant's fault, it's not enough in this heat.
- Hurray! - I like this upgrade.
Did you think you were escaping us?
The undersigned has had his hands in cheese for longer than you have.
The truck was probably driven by a programmed on-board computer.
Not from a driver! Ratterberg has always said to trust computers more!
- You can't see anything from here. - We have external cameras.
So if a computer and not a mouse were driving the truck, then ...
- Tea do something! - Do you want to drive?
Hurray!
Well, we've only been joking so far. Now it gets serious.
Ready to use your skills for something useful, at least for once?
Forget it, I'm only here for the commercials,
I don't want to get involved in your plans!
This is what you say.
I like being up here.
It's quiet, quiet, and no one uses you as a target.
Who is shouting?
But she is a girl and she seems to be in trouble.
Come on Tea, we certainly can't leave her down there.
Hello, do you need some sunscreen?
You almost blinded me, how come I'm dressed like this?
They hypnotized me, let's run away!
Oh no, now what?
Don't torment your little head unnecessarily, am I right?
- I said: am I right? - Affirmative Sally.
Let's see if you can now keep yourself cool Geronimo Stilton.
- Air conditioning what a treat. - What is happening?
The air conditioning was turned off, someone tampered with.
Maybe that someone is right here.
- That thing is not mine! - Did you agree with your horse?
Sally must have hidden it while I was hypnotized.
What is happening? It feels like being in a sauna.
Sally tampered with the system, and she didn't just turn off the air conditioning.
It has turned the heating on to maximum
and it absorbs so much energy that we cannot fly!
- Open the window. - No, we'll be an easy target.
Indeed, we already are!
Move!
At this point: to extreme evils, extreme remedies.
I'm not happy to say it,
but it's time to activate the defense system.
- And since when would we have one? - Not new to this version?
Check the Metamouse manual. Where did it go?
I'm sure I've seen it here.
Now we are on horseback!
Caution.
I'm almost on us.
Next time I decide to go to the most dangerous place in the world,
someone lock me in the cheese safe.
Hey, maybe this is a defense device!
Let's try.
Sheltered!
- Let's face it, it's really embarrassing. - I give up!
- I don't know which fish to catch anymore! - What is that?
- Benjamin no!
It's a Ratterberg computer cable.
If the truck was driven by a Ratterberg computer,
it means we are on the right track.
- Looks like it's been damaged. - What are? Teeth marks?
I suggest we finish the Metamouse talk.
Tea we should be close. I ask you for another effort.
Okay, full speed.
I think I've found the defense system.
Really refreshing!
- With this goodbye to the water supply. - Look, pieces of cables!
Looks like someone chewed it up.
What a terrible smell, it's not that of a horse. I think it's from a camel.
Not even a camel could survive here!
You're right, the only animals are vultures,
waiting patiently for someone to be reckless enough
to venture into this desert.
Vultures like those?
Do you think they're here for us?
Geronimo, do you think it's time to start reading?
Soon that jewel will be mine! I meant ours.
This is what you think my dear! Deluded!
- Look in the sand! - Tire.
Let's check.
They're getting closer, let's try this.
Oil? Do you think you are very smart?
Nice thought! Now we are fried!
- How much sun lotion do you have left? - Even too much, why?
Okay help me.
All in your places,
on him!
Here is our truck.
We'll get there in 10 seconds.
Maybe a little more.
We have Stilton in hand now, and he'll do well to talk.
- Chief, take a look. - Long last.
I led those scoundrels to the treasure!
All these emotions are too much for me too.
Courage!
Yup!
Where has Sally gone?
Pantegana traitorous and cheating.
Wait for a piece of jewelry so it will be super shiny.
Come on, come to your ...
Oh mommy!
Maybe that hideous camel swallowed it.
Wrong. This noble camel is Gemma.
It is the name Ratterberg gave to his puppy!
According to Ratterberg's biography,
Gemma was given to him by the villagers of Rattara,
to whom he had provided free Wi-Fi.
It's all written here. You should read Sally from time to time.
No!
Ratterberg is happy to have found Gemma,
but is disappointed that she was the one
who caused the damage to the computerized truck.
When he returns from his journey,
will produce camel bite-proof computer cables.
Now let's move on to the sport.
An unexpected desert rally ended pretty badly.
It turned into an unexpected and tiring marathon.
On the plus side, luckily no one got burned.
Until next time!
