Goodbye, thanks for visiting.
At the exit you will find the gift shop.
Aah!
Is anyone still here?
I'm sorry, but you have to get out. The museum is closing.
Oh no! What happens?
Aah!
All under cover, fighters from the scruff!
Tea the invincible is about to arrive!
Tea the invincible?
You're the one who asked me to be your manager!
- It will be your stage name! - The invincible!
Oh!
Nobody can stop Tea the invincible
from winning that trophy, not even Chang Loi Uh!
Stop!
You ruined my photo!
Tea ruined my chair. What's going on here?
Tea is training for the karate championship.
- Look who's gonna be the judge. - Our friend King Miù!
Already! And this is Chang Loi Uh, the current champion!
I can't wait to meet him.
And to beat him.
- You already signed me up, right? - I tried ...
But the tournament site is so complicated that ...
Trap, you only had to do one thing!
- Now I'll show you! - Calm down both of you!
We ask Re Miù to register Tea for the tournament.
Geronimo, my friend!
How long have we not seen each other!
I see that next to you there is also the delicious Tea!
- I hope you are well. - Sure, Your Highness.
- What do I owe this surprise to? - Now I'll explain.
I would like to participate in the karate tournament
but someone failed to sign up.
Are you referring to Trap, by any chance?
I confess I don't want to be in your shoes.
- Tea will be very angry. -No, she is not angry ...
I recognize the Tea that I have always admired.
I'll take care of your registration.
I hope you will all come and visit me.
She is kind of you, we are very happy to come.
Stratopic!
Could you help me solve a mystery?
Do you know the King's Guardians?
The famous statues? Yes, I've always wanted to see them.
A strange thing happened.
The other night one of them came to life.
She scared a guide and then she disappeared!
A statue that comes to life!
A mustache scoop, I can't wait to find out more!
And I can't wait to find out what's behind this story.
I have a great desire to see you.
This is especially true for you, Tea.
Here you say that there are more than a thousand statues of the guardians.
Were they built to come to life?
Not in the real world.
They are clay statues but in ancient times
it was believed that they would protect the King in the Hereafter.
Do you want to participate in the tournament?
It would not be fair to others.
I am a trap-fu wizard.
Aah!
The idea is to distract the opponent by making him laugh.
Humorous!
- Tea, you need to train. - Now I'm piloting!
Operate the autopilot. We will start with the jumps.
Trap!
Welcome, it's a pleasure to see you again.
- Tea. - Good morning, Your Highness.
My dear Geronimo, you are always welcome here.
Do you know that another statue has come to life?
- Makes the fur curl! - Already! That's right!
Fortunately, no one was hurt.
The statue scared the visitors and then disappeared.
Let's go to the museum
before other statues come to life.
Here is the Geronimo I know and like!
I have a present for Tea the invincible.
She's really nice, thanks.
There's my face on the side, so I'm driving.
Good luck guys.
She is even more beautiful than I remembered.
Let's go to the museum.
I will show you the statues
as long as they have not all escaped in the meantime.
I don't want to stay here to be chased by the statues.
- They are the King's Guardians! - I do not care.
Everyone says the museum is haunted and I think so too.
Nice to meet you.
- Could it be the fault of the stinky cheese? - Your Highness,
would you like to make sure that another statue has not escaped?
Meet the museum curator.
- Good old Hamilton Hey. - Nice to meet you.
I wouldn't say old. I care about the form!
Yes, we know you care.
Geronimo is here to do a report on the statues.
What a great mystery!
Statues never came to life.
I'm sure it's not happening now either.
There is a logical explanation and I want to find out.
Now I have to go.
I have a press conference for the karate tournament.
See you later!
My sister Tea will be participating in the tournament.
Chang Loi Uh is the favorite but she won't be beaten.
Chang Loi Uh also came to the museum
on the first day of the exhibition.
His presence will have attracted a crowd!
It was full! So many visitors,
photographers and journalists came that we had to ...
Yes, closed.
As long as this booth is open
, the Guardians will have no rest.
- I see. - I repeat!
The Guardians will have no rest.
- You're scaring us. - Fear will make you reason.
The Guardians are the witnesses of our history,
not puppets to sell to tourists.
- Do you know that man? - Chang? Of course!
He has been the museum attendant for many years.
He doesn't like Guardian statue souvenirs.
Maybe he is right.
There is nothing wrong with selling a few souvenirs.
- Children like them very much! - This is awesome!
- Maybe it's too big. - Not bad, right?
I ordered a lot of them. Dads like them too.
A toy for fathers and pencils for children?
I am not surprised that the Guardians have come to life.
They want to escape from this humiliation.
Please don't do that!
Chang is very angry about the exhibit.
This may have prompted it to scare tourists.
Can you answer any questions?
I am glad to be here. Hope to win the trophy!
No more words!
Show these funny guys what you can do.
In a moment, Tea has prepared a fruit salad for you.
- You're really good. - Oh!
- Aah! - What a squeeze!
But I squeezed very softly.
Why isn't Chang Loi uh here? I was hoping to meet him!
Maybe it will come tomorrow for the tournament.
Great job, an interpretation with a mustache!
- I'd do anything for Tea. - Some fresh fruit?
Shooting is ruined.
The surveillance system is new.
It must have been mounted incorrectly.
The most important question is not about the Guardians.
Really? Sounds like an important question to me.
We should be wondering where they went.
Indeed it is a mystery.
Maybe I know how to find out what happened.
Guardians have always come to life at night.
We will spend the night here and watch the Guardians.
I just don't think it's a good idea.
- It will be very uncomfortable. - I don't like the plan
but it is the most logical solution, no doubt!
It is easier to believe that there is a rational explanation ...
Stand back! I'm a trap-fu ace!
- Uncle! - Oh!
Sorry, I thought you were ... forget it.
I placed motion sensors in the room.
Whatever moves we will know.
Bravo, Benjamin! Now let's rest for a while.
We will have to be awake and rested in case ...
Here we are! Soon!
It appears to be as immobile as a statue.
Meow! Meow!
Sweet dreams, uncle.
We have hundreds of Guardians protecting us.
That good news!
Do you eat this? Here, good!
Keep fit for the tournament. I'll give you a hand.
Chang Loi Uh! Here it is!
Hey! Chang Loi!
Poffartopo! Even Chang is afraid of you!
I am sure you will win the tournament! Guaranteed to cheese!
Have you heard too?
- Oh! - Over there!
Hey! Who is there?
But that was Chang Loi Uh!
What's a karate champion doing in a museum?
Poffartopo!
Escape!
There is something moving right above us.
It's you, uncle!
Oops!
- Excuse me. - I had an idea.
What are you doing?
- Now we know where it is. - But he doesn't know where we are.
Great job, Benjamin. We have to get out of here.
We try to reach the door before he notices it.
- Oh! - What are you doing here?
- I'll ask you the same question. - I work the night shift
since I scare tourists during the day.
Watch that door.
We've locked a Guardian in there.
Be careful! Tea the invincible has arrived.
Aah!
Crusts and croutons! Have you slept here all night?
Yes, we wanted to make sure no one came in or out.
- A Guardian has come to life! - It's behind that door.
He has disappeared!
This is genuine magic.
The Guardians know how sensors work.
- Let's take a closer look. - Go ahead.
Let's go open the museum.
I have a theory, Benjamin. Analyze the traces of clay.
Let's go back to the era to which they belong.
- Right away, uncle. - The statues are very old.
So this clay should be too.
Yeah, but it's not: it was recently cooked.
Just as I thought!
But this clay can also give us other indications.
Footprints of sneakers!
One thing is certain, the Guardians are modern.
- Looks interesting. -She went through the wall.
- Guardians are magical! - The explanation is another.
- Meow! - That's where the cat was!
In the same place where the Guardian hid.
Tea, you are strong!
Tea Stilton wins the match.
- Viva Tea the invincible! - How is it possible?
It is the third in a row. They all look scared.
I didn't even have to lift a finger!
And with this tomorrow you will face Chang Loi Uh!
- That's what you wanted, right? - Yes, but I wanted to fight!
I haven't fought so far!
You seem to have scared them all!
I have a feeling there is something behind it.
I assure you that I will find out soon.
Thanks, you are very kind!
Our gadgets are beautiful!
This must be the old part of the museum.
You're right, it looks like no one has been in it for a long time.
If we exclude the fugitive Guardian!
Hey, they're bathrooms.
Do you think the Guardian needed to take a shower?
I don't think so, let's go.
- He got me! - It's okay, Benjamin.
This statue is nothing more than a statue.
I believe the Guardian from earlier brought her here.
These are the three missing Guardians.
Yes.
And look here!
It's one of the helmets they sell at the gift shop.
Here there are no statues that suddenly come alive.
Here is someone who is stealing the Guardians one at a time.
He is the most patient thief ever.
- We need to expose him. - Meow!
Come on, Benjamin!
So Chang Loi has a key to the museum.
It is suspicious.
I knew he was doing something.
Chang Loi, wait!
Let me go!
- What are you doing here? - I'll solve the mystery for you.
Was it Chang Loi Uh?
The statues have started to come alive since you have been here.
And then I saw you sneak into the museum.
Before each meeting, I pay tribute to the Guardians.
- It brings me luck. - Why are you coming in from the back?
Because there are always many journalists at the entrance.
Yes, they would ruin the intimacy of that moment.
I asked Hamilton for a key and he gave it to me.
But if it's not him, who is behind this mystery?
I have a theory.
But to prove it, I need the help of all of you.
Taken!
Let's not drop it!
Come on, Tea! Win for us!
Pick it up with someone your size!
Bring him here, we need to protect the statues!
Agree.
I will not let you!
You fight very well to be a museum curator.
- My dear Hamilton? - How did you find me?
When I saw the statues piled up in the back of the museum,
I realized that their coming to life was a diversion
to hide what was actually a real theft.
Why did you think about Hamilton?
Benjamin discovered the shoe prints.
Hamilton here is the only person wearing sneakers.
The ideal shoes to carry out a theft with dexterity.
And then Hamilton filled the gift shop
with his size helmets.
She got his disguise delivered.
So I was able to bill it at the museum.
You couldn't hope to get away with it.
A trap was enough and you ended up in it.
The statues were wasted on those sucker tourists.
If I had sold them, I would have become rich.
- What happen? - You'll be the new curator.
I'll talk about you to her Majesty.
Now let's call the police.
Now the army of statues is complete again.
Former curator Hamilton will have to spend a lot of time
under the surveillance of many other guardians.
Now let's enjoy the final of the karate tournament.
Tea the invincible faces off against champion Chang Loi Uh!
Tea and I fought together to save the Guardians.
- We don't want to fight each other. - Well done!
Then it's a draw!
- We have two winners today. - Do you need a manager, Chang?
I am the mouse that leads you straight to the point!
The right mouse that makes you take a shot.
Then there is a way to shut him up.
Greetings from Geronimo Stilton!
