The Beat of the Phantom

The Dazzlings are filming their new music video to comeback start their pop star career but all goes wrong when a mysterious phantom disrupts the film shoot. Can Rubble and the Mystery Patrol Gang save the film shoot and solve an all new mystery?

## Script

(We open on the Dazzlings in their music festival clothes, vocalizing)

Adagio:Alright, follow my lead girls.

Aria:Just once I'd wish we can follow my lead for a change.

Adagio:Well *I'm* the leader!

Sonata:Can I get tacos?

Adagio and Aria:No!

Adagio:Let's just do this thing. It's our only way to make a comeback.

Aria:Playing at the Star Swirl Music Festival wasn't good enough?

Adagio:No! The place was named after the wizard who banished us to this world in the first place! Now let's do it!

(Adagio clears her throat and is about to vocalize the ending of Find the Magic when suddenly she feels shore in her throat)

Aria:What the? Adagio what was that for?

Adagio:I don't know Aria.

Aria:See? I told you we should've followed my lead.

(She starts to do vocalization for Find the Magic and she gets horsed)

Aria:Hey what's with this stupid headset microphone?!

Sonata:Maybe you need a drink Aria. And maybe you too Adagio.

Adagio:Maybe, but I took some water before we began.

Aria:Sonata, how are you feeling?

Sonata:I'm fine. (Sings into her headset and goes bad)Oh no! My voice! My beautiful voice! Now Pinkie Pie and I won't get cupcake flavored tacos and tacos flavored cupcakes!

Aria:Or maybe tacos are the reason you can't sing.

Adagio:If that was the case Aria, then you and I would have had the same.

Aria:But if it's not because of drinking water or eating tacos, then what?

(A mysterious figure resembling the Phantom of the Beat from the Warner Brothers Movie World live show Scooby-Doo Disco Detectives appears on the big screen monitor)

Phantom:Mwhahahahaha! I am the one responsible for that! Mwhahahhahah!

Aria:And just who do you think you are Bub!? Going around stealing pop singers' voices!

Phantom:I am the Phantom of the Beat! Mwhahahhahaha! I grow weary of hearing nothing but pop music and pop singers! And I'm going to put a stop to it once and for all! Be warned, if you do your film, there will be trouble! Mwhahahahahaha!

(Disappears and Sergio comes, he is a tanned male with gray hair and a white cap and a gray director vest with pockets on the front and a white collar and white sleeves and white pants with white shoes)

Sergio:Are you girls ready to start shooting the film?

Adagio:Sergio, we've got some bad news.

Aria:Our voices are gone! Only this time our pendants weren't destroyed by the Rainbooms!

Sergio:Whatever happen to you?

Sonata:Some creepy guy appeared on the monitor saying he's called the Phantom of the Beat!

(She says that pointing up to the screen)

Sergio:Oh dear. What do we do about this? Surely there must be somebody to help. Like your friends the Rainbooms, who solve mysteries.

Adagio:We can't get them at the moment. But we do know someone else who can help us.

(Cuts to the Mystery Patroller driving down the road to the location of the shooting)

Danny:This vacation's gonna be amazing. Well not so much as a "vacation" we're just going to a filming location.

Katie:Yeah, the Dazzlings are shooting their new music video there. (Acts like she's ready for a closeup)And I'm hopping they make me an extra!

Ryder:Maybe you shouldn't push it Katie. It'll be nice to go to a film location and not a haunted house for a change.

Rubble:Yeah, unless the film is set at a haunted house.

Ranger:Oh, you worry too much Rubble.

Ace:Yeah, this'll be fun.

(We cut to the location where the van pulls up to the place)

Katie:(As they get out)Are you sure this is the place?

Ranger:I have to agree with Katie, do we really have the right place Ryder?

Ryder:There should be a huge TV screen around here somewhere.

Rubble:You think it'll get Apollo the Super Pup?

Danny:Oh Rubble!

(They laugh and Ace points upwards to the building)

Ace:Is that it up there?

Ranger:Awesome Ace.

(They high five)

Katie:Well if we're in the right place then how come no one's here?

Ryder:That we'll have to find out.

Danny:Like let's go check the snack bar.

Rubble:Yeah, snack bar.

(The gang look all sigh)

Ryder:Ok let's split up and look for the Dazzlings.

(Cuts to Danny and Rubble looking backstage for the snack bar)

Danny:There has to be a snack bar around here somewhere.

Rubble:Oh where, oh where is a snack bar? Oh where, oh where could it be?

(The see the Phantom of the Beat but it is facing the wall)

Danny:Hey pal, is there a snack bar around here?

(He turns around)

Phantom:Mwhahahahahahaha!

(They freak out)

Danny:(As they run)Like run Rub!

(They run and the Phantom chases them)

Phantom:There is no escaping the Phantom of the Beat!

(Cuts to the Dazzlings' dressing room where the Dazzlings are upset)

Katie:So you're saying your voices were taken by some guy calling himself the Phantom of the Beat?

Aria:Yeah Brainless Blond!

Katie:(Taken back by this)Hey!

Ryder:Yeah don't call Katie a brainless blond! You-you, Purple haired aqua stripped siren!

Aria:(Sarcastic)Ohhh, good comeback.

Ranger:Let's just get this out of the way!

Katie:I don't know, I like it that they can't sing anymore.

Dazzlings:Hey!

(Danny and Rubble are heard screaming and they run into the room and close the door)

Danny:Block the door with whatever you can find!

(The put stereos and chairs and tables and a guitar)

Aria:Whoa, whoa, whoa. (Takes guitar back)You can't use my guitar to block the door.

Danny:Well we gotta block the door! There's a ghost!

(Knocking is heard startling Danny)

(Aria moves the stuff and then opens the door revealing Sergio)

Aria:Hey Sergio.

Sergio:Just came by to see if the detectives arrived.

Ryder:We're the detectives.

Sergio:Thank heavens you've made it.

Adagio:Mystery Patrol, Rubble, this is Sergio, he's the director for our music video.

Sergio:Yes we must do something. Come outside.

(They go out and they talk about the case)

Danny:Maybe we should find the craft service table.

Rubble:Yeah, craft service table.

Sergio:You are not here to gorge on the food at the crafts table. You are here to investigate this Phantom of the Beat.

Ryder:Yeah.

Sergio:You see I have a singing sensation who cannot sing who are in trouble. What am I to do?

(The phantom appears on the screen)

Phantom:Mwhahahahaha! The voices of the Dazzlings are now mine! Soon I shall drain all the pop voices from singers all around the world! Then there shall be a world free of pop music and pop singers. The Dazzlings' voices are now no more then a memory! Mwhahahaha!

(Disappears and Sergio has had enough)

Sergio:This is a disaster! I'm ruined! This was suppose to be Sergio's moment but that silly Phantom of the Beat has ruined it. This was suppose to be my greatest triumph! This Phantom of the Beat has ruined my career and I quiet!

(Walks into the doorway and they run after him trying to convince him to stay)

Katie:Wait a second!

Ace:No no no!

Ranger:Hang on a minute pal!

Ryder:Let's have a chat here Serg.

Katie:Wait Sergio!

Ryder:Yo buddy!

Katie:We need you!

Ryder:Grumpey then.

Ranger:So what now?

Adagio:I guess we'll have to leave too.

Danny:Yeah, before the Phantom of the Beat comes back and steals our voices too!

Katie:We'll have to find clues. Let's check the backstage area.

(They go backstage to investigate and look around)

Ryder:Let's split up.

(They split up and only Katie is left)

Katie:Which way to go? Hmmmm. (Points one way)That way.

(The Phantom tries grabbing here but misses)

(We cut to Danny and Rubble walking around)

Danny:Rubble, you find anything?

Rubble:No not a thing Danny.

Danny:Not even the snack bar?

Rubble:No.

(The Phantom of the Beat appears)

Phantom:Leave this place. Leave this place.

Rubble:Ahhhh! It's the Phantom of the Beat!

Danny:Run

(They run off and the ghost chases after them
