No connection is intended with actual persons or events. At the beginning of the 19th Century, almost all of Europe lay in the hands of a single man: Napoleon Bonaparte. This first, glorious emperor of France had a favourite saying: Imagination rules the world. Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Movie 1 - The Mystere Incident ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Constable: Oh no, no, no, Mon Dieu! Th-The casket! It is gone! Napoleon's Casket has been stolen! ?: Time to awaken, Emperor. It is time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Narrator: Three years later... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Movie 2 - Enter Raphael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raphael: The name's Raphael. This is my apartment, or as we say in Paris; "mon appartement". I used to live here with my father. Now it's just me and Fondue. My father taught me a lot. Like "never take stuff that doesn't belong to you". And before you ask, no, this art doesn't belong to me. It's a long story. I have a secret. Fondue: Woeuf! Raphael: That is, Phantom R has a secret: He's me! No time for that now Fondue. It's showtime! ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* Chapter 1: Chance Encounter C1PR ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* Raphael: Papa, wait! What do you mean you aren't coming back? Father: Forgive me, Raphael. Raphael: Where are you going? Don't leave me! Papa!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Movie 3 - The Secret of the Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phantom R: It's been three years since my father disappeared without a trace. But for the first time, we've got a lead. Right Fondue? A coin my father left me had an unusual mark. There's a bracelet on display in the Louvre and it's got the same mark on it, Fondue. Fondue: Hurn...? Phantom R: If I get ahold of that bracelet maybe I can find my father! Whaddya say to that, Fondue? You with me? Fondue: Woeuf! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phantom R: You see the paper today? Finally, coverage worthy of us! Check it out! "Phantom R: Next Stop, The Louvre!" "The Paris Constabulary has received a warning from Phantom R that his next target will be the Bracelet of Tiamat." "The bracelet, an ancient Babylonian artifact, is part of the Mesopotamia Exhibit on display at the Louvre." "Authorities are baffled as to why Phantom R would be after this heretofore unknown treasure." "Inspector Vergier of the Paris Constabulary insists it's nothing more than a publicity stunt." "He vows to capture Phantom R and put a permanent end to his purloining." "Only time will tell if Phantom R is in for the crime of the century or simply in over his head." A publicity stunt? Hmph. Sounds like Inspector Vergier has his pantaloons in a knot. Fondue: Woeuf... Phantom R: You're not gonna let that windbag get to you, are you Fondue? Have I ever led you astray? We got this in the bag! Fondue: Woeuf! Phantom R: Atta boy, Fondue. Now if I'm not mistaken, we have an appointment at the Louvre. All set. Now let's shake it to the Louvre! Fondue: Woeuf! Woeuf! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raphael's apartment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phantom R: Fete de Paris festivities are about to begin! Do you know why there are so many flags out on the streets? The French flag is said to stand for liberty, equality, and fraternity, you know. We fly the flag to remind us of these important things! At least once every few years. Every day? That would be overkill. Fondue: Woeuf! Woeuf woeuf! Phantom R: Huh? Fondue! Whoa boy! Where are you going... Paula: Aw, what a cute little doggie! And what a...What are you? Phantom R: H-Hey, M-Madame Paula...Er, eh, eh heh... Paula: I know you're excited about the Fete de Paris, but isn't it a little early to go about in costume? Phantom R: Costume...right! Heh heh. Er, I guess I just couldn't wait. Paula: It's okay, dearie. I understand. It's hard, with the Champs- Elysee and the Eiffel Tower all lit up. It's a once-in-three-year event! Of course you want to make the most of it! Phantom R: Er, right. You got me. Paula: Look at me, rambling on like a little old lady. You know, there's a boy just about your age living right here in this apartment! He's going in costume too! Why, you'd get along famously. I bet you have lots in common. Phantom R: More than you think. Whew, that was close. I almost forgot I was in disguise for a second there. Note to self: be more careful when I'm out and about in disguise. Fondue: Woeuf... Phantom R: Uh-oh! I'm going to miss my date with destiny! Better hurry to the Louvre. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Musee d'Orsay Station ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ghislain: You there. Have you come across any peculiar medals in the city? I'm told there's a hidden shop that only sells items in exchange for those medals. And if I'm not mistaken, you can win them by playing rhythm games, too. The higher the rank, the more medals you win. Bernard: Hmm. Perhaps you're not completely useless after all. Very well, I'll tell you about the master instrument. It's a mysterious instrument that actually changes as it hears new sounds. That's why I need someone to gather sounds for me. My shop is just through here. Come by if you'd like to help. Oh, you're here. This is the shop I've set up to craft the Master Instrument. Impressive, I know. It takes rare talent to craft the Master Instrument. Without further adieu. Will you seek out the next sound then? Listen well. It is this sound. Did you get that? I need the Gushing sound. Fetch it for me, would you? --- Auban: Hi, I'm Auban, the store manager of Shop Auban. A customer! Who in their right...er..Haven't had one of those in a while! Take your time. Don't mind the mess. --- Phantom R: Uh oh! I'm going to miss by date with destiny! Better hurry to the Louvre! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Musee d'Orsay Station ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grace: What a shame. I came all this way to the Musee d'Orsay, but it's closed. My horoscope said this was my lucky day...so much for that, I guess. Say, that outfit looks familiar...I know! That's a Phantom R costume, isn't it? Nice choice, Phantom R is going to be big. Huge! He's practically a legend already. Rumor has it he'll be putting on a special performance today at the Louvre. Phantom R: A performance? Grace: What else would you call theft so deft it becomes art in its own right? They say he can dazzle with a glance...Not sure I've ever had the pleasure! But someday. Someday...Maybe I'll pay a visit to the Louvre myself. Who knows? If my horoscope really was right, I might just run into him! Phantom R: What? No way, Fondue. Horoscopes are a bunch of baloney. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuileries Garden ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phantom R: Huh? Fondue: Woeuf? Phantom R: Tuileries Garden might seem an ordinary park...and it is. Except when the traveling amusement park comes to town! Papa used to bring me here when I was a little boy... Fondue: Rouf rouf! Phantom R: Gimmie a break, Fondue. I'm just reminiscing. I'm not going to cry on you. That Bracelet of Tiamat...and the mark on it will lead me to him. I'm sure of it. Y'know, I gotta admit I'm getting kind of excited just thinking about it. --- Emilie: What a day! I got to ride the Ferris wheel and the merry-go-round so many times my head is still spinning! Mama's gonna buy me a balloon on our way home! Yippee! --- Maxim: Step right up! Don't be shy! If you're looking for a pick-me-up, look no further than Maxim's one-of-a-kind balloons! Elastic and made to last, with enough of these, you could probably fly to the top of the Eiffel Tower! ...But it's not recommended. Don't let go, either or...WHOOSH! Gone in the sky! You there, in the suit - I think a balloon would be just the lift you need. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Louvre ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Albert: I'll never get sick of seeing this place at night. It's like a work of art all on its own! Hard to go wrong with the Mona Lisa...and the Victoire de Samonthrace, and the Venis di Milo, and Renoir...*scribble scribble* The art on display at the Louvre truly stirs the soul. A visit here should be required of any budding artist. Why, I think I'm ready to paint a few masterpieces myself! Phantom R: The Louvre at night is a sight, I'll give him that. I love it more each time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Louvre, Main Entry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loic: Front of the Louvre, reporting. No problems here. Yet. Phantom R: Inspector Vergier's really pulled out all the stops this time. Better keep sharp. We won't get far through the front. Good thing we know another way! Fondue: Woeuf! Phantom R: Hush, Fondue. It's not a secret if you tell everyone about it. Quick, to the southwest corner! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Louvre, Denon Wing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I thought. Security's lighter on the ground out here. Who would expect a hidden entrance to the Louvre, one of the best-guarded museums in the world! Heck, I didn't even expect this. Gotta wonder who made it, and why...They say the Louvre is full of mysteries and this is just one...The wonder of it all, Fondue! The mystery! Fondue: Woeuf! Phantom R: What, me? Cheesy? You're one to talk, Fondue. Now, let's get this thing open! Hmmm...I think the secret was moving from low to high to reveal a secret path. That flashing spot on the relief should get us started. There, that did it. Okay, we're doing this one by the book. You ready, Fondue? Fondue: Woeuf! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Louvre, First Floor - Mesopotamian Sculpture ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phantom R: The Mesopotamia Exhibit...Which means the Bracelet of Tiamat is somewhere in here! That statue always looks like it's staring at me. What was this again? The Shedu of Sargon II's palace? Fondue: Grrr... Phantom R: Here, don't worry, Fondue. I'm pretty sure it can't get us. Still, a bull with wings is pretty wild. Who thought of that one? Let's keep on keeping on, Fondue. Time to get that bracelet! Fondue: Woeuf...? Woeuf! Woeuf! Phantom R: Huh? What is it, Fondue? Hold up, that's a security camera! That wasn't there before. I should have expected them to tighten security after I warned them. We could just force out way through, but that wouldn't be very Phantomesque. Let's take a little detour. We'll hit the security room on the Second floor. I'll bet we can fake out that camera! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2F - Art Display Corridor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phantom R: Fondue, quiet! Fondue: Woeuf? Phantom R: Check it out. Looks like they upped the number of guards on patrol, too. You know, I bet we could use those statues to get where we need to go! What's life without a little risk, eh, Fondue? Fondue: Woeuf! [R02 happens] Phantom R: Success! Okay, into the Security Room! Rattle...Rattle... Phantom R: Huh? It won't open. That's odd. Fondue: Woeuf! woeuf woeuf! Phantom R: Later, Fondue. Can't you see I'm a little busy right now? Fondue: Woeuf! *click* Phantom R: Whoa, Fondue! Don't just go pressing any old button... Security: SPEAK! SPEAK! VOICE DETECTED, CONFIRMING IDENTITY... "........." ERROR! UNAUTHORIZED VOICE. Phantom R: Whew...That was a close one. No more buttons, Fondue! Fondue: Woeuf... Phantom R: They never had a voice recognition lock before. This must be inspector Vergier's doing. They just HAD to use sound-activated security locks....Hmm. I'm guessing they only let in the guards the system knows. Maybe we can convince one to put in a good word for us. Fondue: Woeuf! Phantom R: Let's find us a guard, Fondue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- French Paintings ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phantom R: Shh! There's a guard over there! Joseph: ...Zzz...zzz... Phantom R: I think he's alseep! Fondue: Woeuf! Woeuf! Phantom: Perfect! I'll just use my recorder here and get a sample... [You recorded the Snore] Phantom R: Got it! Back to the Security Room. Fondue: Woeuf! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Security room ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Security: VOICE DETECTED. HELLO, JOSEPH. HOW IS YOUR PATROL GOING? RELEASING LOCK. Phantom R: Easier said than done! Let's let ourselves in, shall we? [inside security room] Phantom R: Hmm...There should be a camera control panel around here somewhere... Fondue: *sniff* Woeuf!? Phantom R: Nice going, Fondue! Who knew it would be the panel would the flashing red light on it? Phantom R: This the one? Right! This dummy clip should work. We've only got about five minutes of airtime, so let's get downstairs, pronto! Fondue: Woeuf! Phantom R: Finally, time to make that bracelet ours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1F] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phantom R: Finally, time to make that bracelet ours. Fondue: Rouf! Rouf! Phantom R: Fondue? What's up? Huh? There's something on the floor over there. A notebook? [checks notebook] Phantom R: Joseph...? That's the security guard we caught snoozing! Check it out... [Security Guard's Notebook Password Change memo Press the button and listen well! Most buttons will have a pair. You want the one that doesn't.] Phantom R: Looks like instructions for shutting down security, but security for what? Press the button that is the odd one out? Sounds simple enough. Fondue: Woeuf! Phantom R: Info like that just might come in handy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mesopotamian Case ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phantom R: C'mon, bracelet... This is it. There's the mark, just like in the paper! Fondue: Woeuf! Phantom R: I know, Fondue. Another security panel, right? Hold on - I bet that notebook was talking about this security panel. Right...So I was supposed to press the one that does not have a pair, was it? Well, let's give it a shot! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Crack the Security Code++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The notebook said to find the sound that does not match +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Phantom R: I think it's deactivated. Thanks for Monsieur Joseph! Our work here is done, Fondue. Time to make our grand exit out the pyramid in front! Fondue: Woeuf! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Movie 4 - Inspector Vergier ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vergier: Stop right there, Phantom R! For the appropriation of cultural artifacts...I arrest you! Raphael: Inspector Vergier! Vergier: That mark upon the bracelet...You will tell me everything! Today we get to the bottom! Voila, the famed Paris Roller Skate Brigade. Escape is not an option. Go, get him! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- R03 - Le Getaway ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vergier - Today you rot in jail! - I'll see you in chains, Phantom R! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paris, Place Vendome ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phantom R: I'll hand it to Vergier...He really knows how to throw a party! Fondue: Wooo-Woeuf! Woeuf! Phantom R: I know, Fondue, but the best dancers always stay a step ahead of the competition. Fondue: Woeuf... Phantom R: Scared? Me? I'm having way too much fun being Phantom R to be scared! Speaking of which, I wonder what this "incident" he was talking about is. We've got the bracelet. Time to go home and ponder. You do much pondering, Fondue? Fondue: Woeuf! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuileries Garden ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grace: I made it all the way to the Louvre, but the constables wouldn't let me get close enough to see Phantom R. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Musee d'Orsay Station ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loic: Musee d'Orsay Station, checking in. No sign of Phantom R here. I'll keep looking. Phantom R: Looks like the checkpoints are already up...Better find a different route. Fondue: Woeuf! Phantom R: Think of it as an excuse to take a night time stroll through Paris! --- Ghislain: Did you know you could go shopping straight from the controls screen before a rhythm game? And it's not just the usual items that are up for sale. Definitely worth taking a look. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Place de la Concorde ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Movie 5 - Meeting Marie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emilie: My balloon! My balloon! Girl: There, don't cry...[plays a bit of Moon Princess, Emilie calms down] Raphael: Here you go. Emilie: Merci! Thank you! Raphael: Oh man, don't they ever give up? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Champs-Elysees ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phantom R: Another checkpoint. The constables mean business tonight. Sarah: Excuse moi, constable. I was wondering if you could help? Eric: Of course, madam! If there is anything I can do to further the peace of Paris, you need only say it! Sarah: It's my dog, my precious Sapphire! She has gone missing. Will you help me find her? Eric: It would be my pleasure, Madame. A dog named Sapphire must be a treasure indeed! Tell me, what breed is your dog? Sarah: My sweet Sapphire is a purebred bulldog! A beauty, like her owner, you see? Eric: A b-bulldog!? Buh-buh-buh...B-Beg Y-Your pardon, Madame...But I am cuh-currently on the lookout for the notorious Phantom R, and I may not leave my post. Not even for...a dog. I am sorry, but I am sure another constable will be able to assist you. Good day, Madame! Good day. Sarah: Alors, did he not just say he would do anything to help? The constables these days, what are they good for? Eric: Are yai yai! That was too close. A buh-buh-bulldog! Just my luck. *shiver* Phantom R: There's more to this constable than meets the eye...or maybe it's less. Sarah: Sacre bulldog! A constable who will not help a damsel in distress! Is this what we pay for? Ooh, but where-o-where has my Sapphire gone? What will I do without her? Phantom R: If I didn't know any better, I'd say that constable has a bit of a dog phobia. Hey Fondue, try barking! Fondue: Worrrrr...Woeuf! Woeuf! Eric: Aye yai yai...W-was that a dog barking? No matter! I will not abandon my post! Inspector Vergier would make me the laughing stock of Paris. Phantom R: Hmm, that didn't go as expected. I guess not all barks are made equal. Fondue: Woeuuuf. Phantom R: Sorry, Fondue, you're just too likeable! This bulldog Sapphire, however...What say we find her? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Place de la Concorde ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthias: Wow, I tell you: nothing puts a pep in your jogging step like a bulldog nipping at your heels. Someone leash that thing! Stay away from the right-hand-side of that fountain over there. Unless you want to be chow. --- Charles: Bonsoir. A ferocious bulldog? I think I saw it on the left earlier... There's just something in the air. A certain...I don't know what. The city is steeped in tradition and lore, if you only know where to look...Have you ever heard of the Phantom Notes?
