## Story

### *Carl Cooper: A Kingdom Hearts Tale*

#### First Visit

In the first game, Carl, Sarah and Tadashi start toward this land, and Carl is afraid that because they are so big, they and the Gummi Ship might destroy Mousedom. However, the land's reaction to outsiders transforms them: Carl into a black rat, Sarah into a white mouse and Tadashi into a brown gerbil.  The three then find themselves face-to-face with a young little mouse by the name of Olivia Flaversham, who is looking for the renowned detective known as Basil of Baker Street, yet had not seen Yuzu or King Mickey.

When the quartet arrives at Baker Street, during which time Heartless attack and try to kidnap Olivia, while the party kills them, they find Basil with his trusty assistant David Q. Dawson and faithful maid Mrs. Judson investigating their latest case. Not only do they have to find Olivia's father, but also stop the notorious Professor Ratigan from taking Mousedom over from Queen Mousetoria. Basil then becomes a recruitable character in this land only.

The quarter plus Olivia take a ride on Basil's pet beagle Toby to track Ratigan's scent, of which they find Fidget stealing mechanisms. Soon they follow Fidget to Ratigan's lair , inside the Rat Trap, where apparently Fidget and Ratigan are executing their plan involving the Heartless quite nicely. A party is then held for Ratigan, the "world's greatest rat," which upsets him when he hears that. After witnessing Bartholomew get eaten by his cat Felicia after a slip of the tongue due to drunkenness, they find clues in there. However, Carl ends up getting drunk after drinking all the rose champagne, of which Basil sees as the source of the Heartless in this area.

Ratigan eventually finds out what happened in his lair and kidnaps Olivia, taking him with her to the palace. A high-speed chase on Toby begins, with Pete soon joining in the fight. Once the gang reaches the palace, they find that Ratigan, Fidget and Pete are making a robot Queen Mousetoria, while they are going to feed Her REAL Majesty to Felicia. After a fight with Felicia, the crew then helps the Queen oust the robot as a cheap imitation, of which Ratigan is enraged by, fleeing with Olivia and Fidget (of whom he kills) on his zeppelin to Big Ben.

Inside of Big Ben, Carl and the gang have a fight with Ratigan, to the death. When it seems like Ratigan wins, Big Ben strikes 10:00, killing him and destroying his Heartless self. As Ratigan dies, Carl sings the same song Bartholomew told him, then seals Mousedom's Keyhole, located in the robot Queen, and departs with his friends. Basil gives him the Detective's Work Keychain as a thank-you present.

#### Second Visit

When the gang returns, they find that Nobodies are haunting the area. Basil and Dawson assess the situation, noting that a mouse with pink hair and a black hood was up to no good, and collecting the hearts of the citizens of Mousedom. They eventually find out it is Marluxia who is collecting them, and he summons the Grandfather Clock Nobody (which turns out to be Ratigan's Nobody) to dispatch them. When they kill it, they also squash Marluxia under its weight, killing him instantly, and Basil gives them a new reward: an upgrade to their Time magic known as Stopga. Our heroes then bid farewell to Mousedom...for now.
