Ready? This is Geronimo Stilton.
Lilac, what a pleasure to hear from you! How can I help you?
You?
- Never a satisfaction! - I know Timothy the archaeologist.
What have they stolen?
- Keep calm. - What do you do?
- You need a massage. - You squeeze my ears!
Can't you see I'm on the phone?
I take all my creams and leave.
Looks like a mustache scoop! Thank you, Lila.
Ready for mustache and fur? Just a little regulation.
What happened to you? You're trying to make yourself useful.
Exactly! And it is thanks to my sphere of fortune.
Foretells the future with 50% accuracy.
There is even written on the packaging.
This morning I asked her: "Will Geronimo need my help?"
She replied, "Yes, very likely."
Ah! In fact, a plastic ball can't be wrong.
I say so too.
Come back here, I need to shine your shoes
and mend your socks. Do you wear her socks?
Yay!
Sorry, uncle.
The skateboarding championship starts soon.
- I must train. - Right in front of the office?
Let's see'.
One moment.
Yes, there is no doubt!
You're not making yourself useful.
Benjamin, train somewhere else.
For example in the park.
Tea, I was looking for you.
She called me Lilla Caciottella,
the person in charge of the ancient finds of the Topazia museum.
- An heirloom is missing! - Has the museum been stolen?
The find was stolen from the home of an archaeologist
who had found it days ago in Topotamia.
Timothy Prontoratto was supposed to take it to the museum today.
Timothy Prontoratto ... the millionaire archaeologist?
Just him and now I'm going to his house.
- Come with me? - Yes.
Wait for me!
The sphere says you will need me today.
- How's your training going? - Not well.
The first test of the race will be tomorrow.
I have to find a place to train
and also a coach.
Unfortunately I have to do one thing.
Please, Pandora! The others are all busy.
Watching a skater train is boring.
Unless it's Joey Topinsky.
He is really great.
Others are boring.
You just have to time me and give me some suggestions.
Ok. So I'm going home to find a stopwatch.
No need, I brought mine.
Oh!
Do not touch it! You don't even have to look at it.
Ok, I'll be waiting for you below this building.
Geronimo Stilton! Welcome to my home.
He won't want to advertise the embarrassing story
of how I got an ancient heirloom stolen.
- Not exactly, I ... - Good!
- In this case it is welcome. - Thank you.
What can you tell me about the stolen figurine?
I discovered it a few months ago during some excavations.
It was supposed to be on display in the museum.
I was asked to keep it during the restoration of the galleries.
It must have been a very precious object.
Actually, no.
It was just a small terracotta statue.
The other pieces in the collection are worth a fortune,
- but they have been ignored. - Do the police have any clues?
- Not yet. - How strange!
The thief ignored the valuables
to take something that was not at all.
- Why did he do it? - I have no idea.
This is a photograph of the statuette.
It seems that a piece is missing.
- I found it like that. - What about those internal cavities?
- What were they for? - I do not know.
It is a particular object.
I think this figurine hides some secrets.
The answer to this question is likely to be yes.
Yes, of course.
Thank you, see you soon.
- No, stop! - Yes.
A nice fifty fifty!
5.0 is a bit poor.
- Discreet kickflip! - You're not making an effort.
You just say things that I already know.
The competition will start with my weak point: freestyle.
- Help me figure out where I'm wrong. - You're boring and obvious.
Everyone can do a few flips.
You must be different.
Different? And how?
Oh!
Poffargatto!
Do you have any doubts? Ask the sphere.
No thank you. I seem to have seen this object.
A moment of patience and I'll tell you.
It is very likely.
- But where? - The sphere will tell us.
There is too much interference, I can't concentrate.
Shake it up more.
Yep, that's a great idea.
Now I remember!
I saw a similar object in the museum collection.
Here it is!
What a memory!
Two eagle-headed creatures.
- This is also broken. - But what if they went together?
It's possible.
Good morning, Mr. Prontoratto. This is Geronimo Stilton.
Does the word "anzuratte" mean anything to you?
You mean a lion with an eagle's head from Topotamia?
That's right, the stolen figurine is half of an older milk.
The other half is kept in the museum's collection.
Of course! How did I not think about it before.
In ancient times this bird was an object of veneration.
It was commonly believed that he had magical powers.
However, it is a very valuable artifact.
The thief must have known.
That's why he just stole that.
- The next target will be ... - The missing fragment
from the museum.
Oh, thanks for the help. We will talk soon!
I need to sit down.
Fantastic round for the amazing Joey Topinsky!
- 78 points. - Wow!
- Joey Topinsky! Nervous? - A bit'.
But I feel ready thanks to you.
- Thank you! - 37!
It's my turn, I'm on my way!
Come on, Benjamin!
Newbie Benjamin Stilton knows what he's doing!
A big round of applause for Benjamin Stilton!
- Yes, 80! - Yay!
You qualified, bravo! You will go to the final!
You are great, man. You have all my respect!
Does your nice friend compete too?
- I ... - This is Pandora.
- My trainer. - She looks like a tough girl.
- Can't fail to participate. - I'm not ...
Aah!
Fantastic! A myth!
What a style! Which class!
But it's a lot of fun and easier than it looks!
For a thousand cheeses, 81!
We will go to the final!
May the best man win.
Taxi! Taxi! Taxi!
Is a taxi the fastest way to go to the museum?
He said: absolutely not.
Don't take it!
- Go ahead, thanks. - What are you doing?
We need to get to the museum
before the other half of the figurine is stolen.
- Yes, but let's take the bus. - Why does the sphere say that?
- She was never wrong. - Do not push!
- She was never wrong, huh? - There are skate competitions!
- The roads are blocked. - Don't worry!
I know we made the right choice.
- Oh! - Okay, let's walk.
I am the director of the museum.
Thank you for notifying us of the possible theft.
- Nice to meet you. - My pleasure.
I have enhanced security throughout the museum.
Therefore its presence is not necessary.
But we are journalists.
All we want is to do a story about the story.
I guess you have taken some other precautions.
Sure, follow me.
Why didn't Lila know that you have an anzuratte?
The museum's collection boasts two million artifacts.
Only a genius could know them all.
Yes, I see.
We moved the figurine to an alarm case.
Nobody will be able to steal it and if they try ...
If you let me, I'd like to take a look around.
- So, just out of curiosity. -Do as he wants.
I have to get back to my job.
Dear viewers, friends and girlfriends ...
this is the moment we have been waiting for.
- Good luck! - The championship final!
Street!
- What are we looking for? - Confusing forecasts.
- Try it later. - Trap!
He is actually right. I don't know what to look for.
See, sphere? You guessed it again.
High five! Right, you don't have hands!
It does not matter.
Today all attention is focused on the race.
There are a lot of people around.
The ideal environment to commit a theft.
There he is! I caught you, crafty rat!
Trying to pass yourself off as a guard, huh?
I got it! I caught the thief!
- Tim, Sten! What's wrong with you? - He's the thief!
I saw him wearing his jacket to pretend to be a guard.
I am a guard, I changed my jacket
- because it was stained. - Excuse me!
You there! You can not enter.
The museum is closed!
- She's disappeared! - The thief has entered
but it won't leave the museum! Block all exits!
In any case, he can't have gone too far.
Tea, search the museum. We control the outside.
You said skateboarding is boring.
Watching it is boring ... and I'm really good at it.
The exits are sealed, the thief cannot have gone out.
- I wouldn't be so sure. - The sphere could help us.
- What are you looking at? - This poster.
All other posters are old and broken.
- This looks new. - Already!
- Looks like new! - Come to your senses, Trap!
He's running away!
Stop it! To the thief!
-He managed to escape. - Very smart.
He fled mingling with the competitors of the race.
Benjamin is in danger!
Oh no!
- Great! Ready? - A thief entered the museum.
He stole a statuette.
He has a skateboard and he sneaked into the race.
Stay away from him, he can be dangerous.
Got it, uncle! I'll be careful.
There he is!
- Pandora, there is a thief in the race. - What is it, a trick?
- Do you want to distract me to win? - No, I assure you.
He called my uncle. The thief robbed the museum.
- We have to stop him. - It's not up to us.
We are the only ones who can stop it.
I wasn't very nice, but I was a little jealous.
- Will you help me catch the thief? - Okay.
Ok!
I would recognize that thief at first glance.
We can't cross the street.
- What if we get over it? - With the helicopter?
No problem, let's ask the sphere.
Says nothing.
He's running away! Let's chase it.
Let's go back to pay later.
I don't see it anywhere.
Do you want to say something? Still nothing!
Go to the airport!
- Hello, Benjamin? - We followed the thief.
- He's on his way to the airport. - I told you ...
Stay out of it, I know. We just followed him.
Tea, at the airport.
And he! Great job, Benjamin.
I know a shortcut. Come on, Pandora.
Ready to take off!
We are at the airport so ... let's fly!
Rattami tries to escape with his accomplice
and the two parts of the statuette. Where will it be now?
- Found it! - He's running away!
I know how to stop it. One two Three!
She was not handled with care but so much was already broken.
- They're running away! - The sphere says otherwise.
Help, I fall!
Have you seen? The sphere has guessed again.
Yay!
Do you believe me when I tell you I've never seen her before?
No! And neither will the judge, dear Rattami.
- And dear Prontoratto! - Ready?
How did you find me?
Only that statuette was stolen from his house.
This proved that the thief was an expert.
That object did not belong to her
but then he never wanted to part with it.
You are not cops, you are dogs.
Two beautiful flea dogs.
Oh!
It seems my passage has arrived.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
- What do I do? - I'm sorry.
There is only room for one.
We will meet again soon, Geronimo Stilton!
Hey!
Street! Street!
I'll get you next time!
The thieves had come up with a very clever plan.
But they hadn't reckoned with these young champions.
One question remains.
Why did Rattami and Prontoratto want the statuettes?
And why did an archaeologist ally himself with Rattami?
Maybe because he really has magical powers.
Let's find out.
It seems to have nothing magical about it.
Ancient peoples believed that music was magical.
This figurine has no supernatural powers,
but the power of music makes people happy.
It's like a harmonica. Can I try it?
She says no.
From the Topazia museum a greeting from Geronimo Stilton.
