Note: I do not own Rhythm Thief.

In Raphael's room Marie walked back and forth again to think about what happened with Raphael the other day. It seems impossible that Raphael had changed his personality so suddenly just because he was revived by Napoleon. Elizabeth was sitting on the other side of the room dressed in a nightgown, looked worried.

"Marie, so do not panic, you'll be fine." Elizabeth whispers to her daughter.

Marie looked like if he had appointed the devil, how it was possible was that still she hadn't realized what was going on.

"Mom, I'm not quiet at all! I am thinking about Raphael! I can't believe it's changed so suddenly!" The daughter cried out, her frustration coming out through her voice.

"I actually understand that." Marie's mother admitted.

"That's the point! I have to figure out what happened!" Marie turns around to face the empty bed.

"How can you do this accomplishment?"

"Well ...I do not know. However I have to study a plan ... "

Elizabeth had never seen his daughter so determined; saw in his eyes the sparkle of self-confidence. Suddenly Marie tapped a fist in the Palm of your hand.

"I found it! The catacombs! "She said firmly.

"What about the catacombs? Is it where Napoleon is hiding, even as we speak?"

"Exactly, mother! Once Raphael told me of Napoleon's secret base! And it is precisely in the catacombs! I'm positive that they are there right now!"

"You're not thinking about ...?"

"Yes mum. that's just what I intend to do. But without recognition, and for that I will need the help of Charlie." Marie concluded with a smile of satisfaction.

The following night…

There was a silence of Tomb at Les Invalides. Napoleon's coffin was impressive in the middle of the main hall. The silence created shivers to the only person present at that time. Had the same Phantom R attires but unlike him they perfect the long hair riconsceva blonde ... was Marie!

That morning…

"No, not if it is too dangerous!" Charlie retorted.

"You're quiet too Charlotte; I can do this! I look after myself! But for my purposes I absolutely need your Phantom R costume! "

"But if the Knights recognize you? You realize what could succederti if your plan fails? "

Marie looked long into her eyes and lovingly took his hands.

"I know that you worry about my safety, but ... even Phantom R did it, he took care of me when I needed it and risked his life for me. This time I have to be me to save him! Understand me? "

Charlie's eyes shone full of emotion on hearing that speech; really Phantom R had taken care of her? Unable to curb his curiosity asked:

"Tell me the truth; you're in love with him?" That question Marie felt her cheeks a blaze of a deep red almost like hair of Raphael. But you see so much, he thought of himself.

He was about to utter something but Charlie raised his hand to stop it.

"You don't need a reply, and besides, it can be seen from your face and your eyes when we talk about him ... and okay get well costume but I recommend ..."

Charlie stops and puts her hands on her shoulders to say, "... Be careful."

Marie smiled warmly responding, "Thanks Charlotte, I owe you a favor".

Later on…

"Of course this place puts the chills of night ..." said Marie looking around. The guards fortunately at that time there were but had to hurry. Approached the coffin and inspected carefully until she found a kind of lock consisting of two ns. There was an incision below it, Marie read it carefully:

"Connect the two N... N as Napoleon of course ... should not be difficult. I wonder who has studied this mechanism. "

Following the path of the lines was able to draw a path that connected the two N and heard a click. The pedestal of the coffin began to move revealing of stairs underground.

"This path should lead to the catacombs ... see you!" Once descended the stairs found himself in a damp Gallery, crammed full of skulls, lit by old flashlights. She is finally in the catacombs!

"The torches are lit ... a clear sign that someone is still here!" thought Marie allarmandosi. She began to go the Gallery trying not to make noise but had to stop all of a sudden; she spots shadows come close, assuming that they were the Evil Knights. Marie finds a hiding place behind a rock and carefully listened to the conversation:

"You've noticed that he is very thoughtful? It almost seems that something niggles ..."

"AH!AH! I think it is because of that girl ... I think we have our hearts broken...I think that despite all the fancy still beside him. To this definition I heard alone with a dog on a plane..."

"Do you think will be here after all?"

"I'd say no one. On the other hand I've heard that he couldn't get enough of her. .. That he wanted for himself and would not share with anyone ..."

"Heck! This is just in love! "

At the end of the conversation the two allontarono fast pitch leaving Marie confused by their words.

"But those who are talking about these?" He wondered; puzzled but then Marie felt a dip to the heart...

"They said with a ... dog? There will be talking about ...mmmph?! "

Marie felt someone tap them her mouth with one hand ... panic failed to revolt and saw the world sfocarsì in front of her. .. never before heard a voice say:

"Finally you are here ... I missed you so much ..."

And then darkness consumed her mind as she falls into unconsciousness…
