Another unmasked scam to add to my collection.
An alleged monster, which turned out to be an ugly monster.
- How about Pandora? - It hangs to the left.
- Now right, the other right. - But what other right.
Your right.
Another one on the way.
Ninth!
Trap!
Excuse me. Here's another hoax for what's left of your collection.
What is that?
A marine creature that is terrorizing the inhabitants of a small paradise
called Marzipan Island.
The Island of Marzipan? Are you serious?
- Do you know her? - Yes sure.
They shot my favorite films there, that place is a dream for me!
It can't be a sea monster, there must be another explanation, right?
Someone who wants to scare people or attract tourists.
- Mmm! - What do you mean?
That we must not rush to conclusions.
But whatever lies beneath it, it's a phenomenal story.
I know him, now he will come and say:
"Prepare the Metamouse Tea, let's go to Marzipan Island."
Prepare the Metamouse Tea, let's go to Marzipan Island.
I still think it's a fake monster.
And we've seen a lot of them!
Who scientists say there are millions of unknown species in our oceans.
Who tells us it's not one of these?
She looks like my elementary school teacher.
A monster.
In the presence of an unknown phenomenon,
one must have an open mind and a scientific approach.
Without getting scared.
Aaah crust and croutons!
- It's just me - Why are you wearing the wetsuit?
Do you think the cabin is about to flood?
No, I just want to check that the engine is okay.
The best way to do this is to go underwater. Who comes with me?
- I don't have diving gear. - I have a game of croquet to watch.
The belts, quick.
- What was Tea? - I'm not sure.
It looks like interference with the navigation system.
- What kind of ship is that? - It's mine.
I am Professor Stanley Wippet at your disposal.
We almost clashed, forgive us.
I don't know what happened, something caused the equipment to tilt.
I'm the one who has to apologize,
I'm using a powerful sonar to do marine research,
this sometimes interferes with the instrumentation of other means.
- Are you looking for that creature too? - Says Berty?
- Berty? - Yes, that's what I call it.
- Do you also have the same mission? - Yes, right.
What is your specialization?
I am a crypto-zoologist.
She therefore studies animals that do not exist.
That's not right young man.
Animal study whose existence has not yet been proven.
After careful study, in Berty's case I have come to the conclusion
that it is a fake.
Seen Geronimo? We can do the service right away.
I'm not convinced it's a fake.
What?
He just listened to an expert.
I find his skepticism strange.
I didn't mean to be disrespectful, I would be honored if she followed us.
No thank you. I've wasted too much time already.
I'll give up on research and you should do the same.
Professor!
Poffartopo, the sonar made the sonar go haywire.
How can I watch the game now?
We're going home anyway and I can see the second half!
I really don't think we should go home.
Wippet said there is no monster, and he is an expert.
If he doesn't believe it's real, why then the professor stayed here.
- Maybe he just wants to get a tan. - What does he need that equipment for?
I did a research on Wippet,
it seems that he was kicked out of many universities
for talking about non-existent creatures as if they were real.
What creatures?
The monster of the caciottate mountains of Romania,
the snake of the great fondue lake.
They have stratumpic names.
You heard, he's from the beach.
Whatever it is,
it's not a good idea to chase a creature that makes those noises.
Well I do!
Are you sure you want to chase that thing? With this darkness.
I have the flashlight.
No Tea, don't go alone. I accompany you.
I just need to pack a bag.
- Dark glasses, a change of clothes. - Don't worry, everything will be fine.
He escaped so quickly that I didn't see him well.
One thing is certain, it is not a hoax.
Perfect, it's time to start our research in earnest.
The system no longer works.
- Tea can you hear me? - I'm behind you.
- Already! - Wait a minute, I'll put my helmet on.
Ready ready! I'll keep in touch with you,
we don't know what we're dealing with, so be careful.
This is the house where Elisabeth Taleggior and Richard Brierton
took refuge to escape the newly married photographers.
The house belonged to a movie star: Mouse Mousette.
Since you can't have a decent internet connection,
I decided to do some research too,
- What's that? - The picture of that monster.
I want to get to the bottom of it.
Have you seen this creature around?
Sorry, did you see this thing?
- It will be very difficult. - Let me review it.
- Trap, it's not the monster! - Oops, I got confused.
Excuse me sir by chance ...
I think you saw it.
How are the images I am sending you?
Very clear!
- What is that - I don't know.
I saw something on the radar, chances are you have company.
Check it out, I'll send you the coordinates.
Be careful.
Coordinates received but I don't see anything.
- Aaah! - Aunt Tea, what's going on?
Have you seen it?
False alarm, it's a harmless octopus.
He must have understood that I'm not a threat.
Okay but be careful.
Here is another witness that the path is right.
- Look. - What?
Thank you.
What's strange about that lady?
She is dressed differently.
You have something familiar.
-She doesn't she seem to you too? - I don't know, I just got here.
You seem to have mozzarella legs. What you are doing?
- Why are you chasing her? - I'm not sure.
I have to find out more.
- Geronimo, I would return aboard. - Yes, you've been there for a long time.
I'll find something next time.
Okay, don't move, we don't know if he's aggressive.
She flooded me with ink!
We are coming.
The creature escaped.
I are there guys. Let's chase it.
Full speed, go!
That monster is making fun of us.
Maybe not. Look it stopped.
- But bye, good morning! - He seems to want to tell us something.
What's it got between its fins?
The flashlight that had slipped from my hands.
- Where is he going? - I do not know.
It seems he wants to be followed.
He's entering that cave.
Oh! Watch! Berty is a she.
Yeah, a loving mom.
- Something's coming. - Yes, and very fast.
- He's headed for ... - Berty.
No!
I'll come back to save you.
Brace yourselves ,
It's Wipped!
Okay, there they are. But it can't be.
He can't be a sea monster, he had a hat and shoes!
- It's a ghost! - What?
Monsters, movie stars and ghosts. Nothing is missing here.
Wipped, what are you doing?
I was wrong, this creature is real.
So now I'm going to show it to the whole world.
It cannot take it away from its habitat, it is cruel!
Yes, maybe he is right. I did not think about it.
I'm glad you got it. Leave her now.
Yes, okay. I am so sorry.
Could you come up to help me melt the net?
Certainly.
Well done,
He won't be able to stop me, from now on no one will laugh at me anymore.
Let him go, or we'll come and get him.
I wouldn't do that if I were you. If you get close, Stilton will be in trouble.
Come on guys, we have to save the uncle.
- One moment. - What's up?
Come on, there's no time to waste.
- True, but I have discovered that ... - Geronimo and Berty are in danger.
- There is someone who could help us. - They're taking uncle to that island.
But what will he have in mind?
Nothing good.
I'll tell you what, but you'll have to return what you stole from me.
Excuse me, who are you? What would we have stolen from her?
That's what I was trying to tell you. This is Ida Formaggini.
She's been on this island for so long that she knows every secret.
- You can help us. - The great actress of the 60s.
She disappeared 40 years ago, no one knew where she was,
but she has always been here.
But you found me, you know how much it bothers me to be disturbed.
Delete the photos you took of me.
All right.
- Okay, done. - that's the island of crabs.
It is so called because it is inhabited by thousands of crabs.
Nobody will take me there, I don't want to be eaten by those beasts.
They are not dangerous, just a little pushy.
In these parts the tide rises to cover the island,
if your friend is there, you have little time.
Okay, let's get moving.
Berty? That we will do? It is in the hands of Wippet.
Let's split up, I go to Geronimo and you go to Berty.
How will we do it?
I think I have a good idea,
I learned a lot from the adventure films I made. I'll tell you everything on the way.
Plan please. In short, what ways!
No, down. Via unbearable little animals.
Sorry, we hope her friends will save her soon.
It will end very badly.
But what he says!
When I exhibit that creature at the museum, people will be thrilled.
And I will receive great honors for my discovery.
Let's hope he can convince them.
Don't worry, a friend of mine has seen the creature up close,
it's anything but aggressive and won't hurt you.
Calm down Geronimo!
Sometimes unexpected allies are found.
Thanks friends, faster.
What are they doing?
It doesn't matter, if they get close they will sink.
Sorry I don't have time to play, let me pass.
Come on guys stop it.
- Tea! - Come on! Are you OK?
Never took so many pinches at once.
Now you have to swim, I'll help you.
No, no oh!
- Don't make a fuss. - Excuse me.
What's happening?
But where did it go?
You won't get away from me that easily.
What is it now?
Maybe you needed this propeller?
You will pay for it!
Courage.
Quick, she's chasing Berty.
We must try to reach her before him.
Okay, leave it to me.
What is happening?
Look, Berty is free!
She greeted us.
Well, finally she will be able to live calmly and happily with her little ones.
What will become of the professor?
You will have to wait a few hours for the cops to arrive!
She at least she will be in company.
In the company of many little friends.
Ouch! No!
I am Professor Wippet!
See you soon friends!
And so was the creature that had terrorized the island.
Like many other creatures we told you about,
it turned out to be yet another hoax.
That's all. Geronimo Stilton from the Echo of the Rodent.
But Berty wasn't a scam.
I know, but sometimes legends better remain legends.
If I had told the truth, many would have gone to bother her.
Everyone deserves peace of mind, right Pandora?
This is a rule that also applies to former actresses.
Well, Berty is not a beauty, but you have to go beyond appearances.
The monster of the swamp!
- Wimp. - Trap!
Tea?
Yeah, I almost become a monster when I work in the engine room.
