"Fufufufufufufu."

"Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh..."

"Kekekekekekekekekekekekekeke"

"Wh-wh-who are y-y-y-y-y...! That... what is that?"

"The end""

"Huh? Wh-what end?"

"Yours."

"WHAT!?"

"Goodbye..."

"I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!"

"Yes you do... Miss Skye!

"How... do you... know..."

"The daughter of Chief Prosecuetor, how could I not?"

"What is that in your h-h-h-h-hand?"

"Death"

"NO!"

*BOOM*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phoenix was alone in the office. Maya Fey, and Pearl Fey, had both gone missing. It wasn't too big. For some reason, anytime the police tried to get involved, it was called off. Phoenix switched on the TV, hopuing for some good news.

"...And that concludes the report of the missing Feys."

"Damn" Phoenix had just missed it. At least it was publicc now.

"But, now is the time to look over the murder of ...*TV loses signal*"

"WHAT!?" Pheonix was shocked.

"Miss Skye was blown up in her apartment last night, at 3:00AM"

"L-Lana was blown up?"

"Miss Lauren Skye was killed when a bomb exploded in her window"

"Lauren... Oh, Lana's daughter." Phoenix was relieved to hear she wasn't dead. After all he had gone throught o kepp her alive..."

"The suspect is Lucas Biyang, a police officer who looks over K- *TV loses signal again*.

"TO THE DETENTION CENTER" Pheonix shouted. Across from the window, a man shouted "We know were ya goin' sa keep it downs!"

"Sorry"



THE DETENTION CENTER
Pheonix saw a middle aged man, wearing a cloak.

"My lawyer, yes? Very good, I shall expect a complete acquital by tomorrow. MiaFey'sunderstaudywereyounot?" spoke the cloaked man

"Slow down, I didn't get a word of that" Phoenix replyed.

"lawyers... A...R...E...N...'...T... ...Y..."

"Ok, Ok, I get it. you want me to represent you?"

"Yes."

"Where were you at the time of the crime?"

"The city center. I was at Miss Skye's apartment until 2:55AM."

"That late?"

"We had a little...well, maybe each of our firsts..."

"So, you got drunk?"

"Nearly. The pair of us still had our senses. I have some advice for you."

"What?"

"The ctrme scene is not the place to look. Go to where... GARGH!"

"What!?"

An old wound... I will pass out soon, so listen well. Go to the village of the Fe..."

"Of the what!?"

"F-F-Fe-Fe-Fey-Feys..."

"Why?"

"Winding way... Incinerator... turn it off.. look under it..."

He then passed out. Phoenix looked and saw the next train to Kurain Village left in ten minutes. He left to go there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Kurain Village, Phoenix did what he was told, and dug beneath the incinerator. hten Ms. Von Karma came into winding way.

"MR. PHOENIX WRIGHT!"

"Stop calling me by my full name... Please." Phoenix muttered to himself.

Phoenix then felt 10 whip lashes hit his back. He knew it was Von Karma's whip.

She left, and went into the side room. Phoenix soon found a large box in the gorund. He opened it, and saw Pearl, huddled up inside. Ms. Von Karma noticed them, and huurried down

"WHAT HAVE YOU DO..."

Then, gunshots were heard. then, a gas bomb exploded near the trio. all three sank to the floor.

"Mr. Nick!"

"What...?" Phoenix could not see the person speaking, but he could guess. The bomb was a bit slow acting, though. Phoenix could her von Karma's whip crackingnear him.

"Don't... go..." The bomb was kicking in.

"Near... Mister... Jones..."

The three sank into unconsuisness

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phoenix woke up. Von Kaarma was staggering out of Winding Way. There was blood dripping from her hand. she has been shot. There was no sign of Pearl, xcept that some of her Channeling Unifroom had snagged on the roof. Phoenix took it off, and decided to take it owth him. he then headed back to the Detention Center.

THE DETENTION CENTER
"MynameisLucasBiyangwhatdoyouwantwithme?" asked his client
"I'm your lawyer...." Phoneix replyed.
"ah, Mr Left... No, Wrong, oh wait, I got it, Mr Wright"
"Ok, can I aska question?"
"Yes"
"Why was Pearl there?"
"In that box?"
"Yes"
"Mark Jones put her in there"
"Why?"
"Only three pople know what happened in that murder really."
"Who?"
"The killer, and the two Fey girls"
"How would they know?"

Lucas handed Phoenix the address for Hotti Clinic.

"Talk to the fake director. He knows where Maya is"
"...?"
"How? He threatened Jones' wife with his perverted nature. Ticked her loacition out of him."
"That guy is scary enough as he is, but with that kind of threat *shivers*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a long talk, Phoenix got the address that Maya was held at. The patient was then taken back to his room. Phoenix went to the town centre. He went up the block of flats that the address was at. He looked at the room she was supposedly held in. 123. Simple enough. Then he remembered. The murder was at 124!

The door to 123 was gone. The bomb from 124 had smashed the door to pieces. Phoenix walked in, and opened the closet. Maya was in there, like somebody being sacrificed.

"Welcome, Phoenix."

The sound was coming from Maya, but her lips weren't moving.

"Don't be shocked. If you want to know how I am talking to you, look in this girl's hair.

Phoenix felt in Maya's hair, until he pulled out a transceiver.

" You've found it then? That is good."

"How do you know I have this?"

"Look in the corner of the closet. A secuirity camera, that is transmitting to my computer, not the main network. Besides, I have some advice for you.

"What?"

"Hehehe. Drop the case."

"WHAT!?"

"Mr. Wrong. I think I should let you know, I have drugged the girl before you, and she will awake in ... ooh, 3 minutes. Soon as she wakes up, I cut off this transmission."

"And that is relevant how...?

"I have one thing you want."

"And what is that?"

"Something you might need to work out, but shall we say, I have a Pearl."

"WHAT!?"

"Hehe. You understand me now. Drop this case."

"I can't. Very well. A better deal."

"What?"

"Come to the Courtroom tomorrow. You will meet a defense attorney there. Talk to him, and ask him about a Pearl. He will then know what to do."

"What do you mean?"

"She is awake now."

The transeiver went dead. However, Maya did not wake. Phoenix took her back to the office, and went back to the flat.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day...

Phoenix went itno the Courtroom, in the gallery updatirs. Not only had the trial been called off, Maya had not woken up. Then the trial begun. It was the first time Phoenix had only watched, and not been the defendant, or defense attorney of the case.

"Court is in session. Is the Prosecution and the Defense ready?" The judge called.

"Yes, your Honor" replyed Miles Edgeworth/

"...Get on with the trial." Replyed the defense attorney.

"Erm..." The judge was at a loss for words.

"GET ON WITH THE TRIAL YOU FOOL!" screamed the attorney.

"Erm...Yes, yes, OK" the Judge was rather shocked. "The prosecutions opeing statement."

"The prosecuetion seeks to prove the..."

"Before we begin the trial, I wish to state one thing."

"GRR.. What is it?" asked Edgeworth

"There will be now need for witnesses in this trial. After the prosecuetions opening statement, I will rpove my clients innocence." said the blue haired defense attorney.

"Erm... Very well, Mr. Karuma." said the Judge

"Karuma...?" thought Phoenix from the gallery

"Ok, my opening statement. The prosecuetion seeks to prove Mrs. Kuri guilty of killing Mr. de Killer"

"Very well. Evidence?" asked the Judge.

"The murder weapon, a knife with the defendant's fingerprints, from her apartment. Also, her purse, found in the victims trousers."

"OBJECTION!" screamed Mr. Karuma. "Let me see the murder weapon."

"OK" replyed Edgeworth

"Hmm...Hmm, oh, yes..." muttered Karuma"There are clear glove marks on this. The defendant's fingerprints COME FROM HER EATING DINNER WITH THIS KNIFE! Oh, give the detective in charge of this case a 'raise' after the trial."

"Th-th-then... what about the purse?" asked Edgeworth, who was a bit shaken up.

"I would like to direct the court's attention to this video I found in the office of the hotel took place."

The video played.

It was footage from the room of the murder. It showed a woman enter the room, with her head down. Due to view the camera give, you couldn't tell the size of the person. Then, it showed her approach the victim, who was asleep on her bed. The defendant was sleeping on the cpouch on the other side of the room. Then, the girl grabbed the knife and stabbed the defendant. Then, the girl lifted her head slightly. You could see a heart pattern in her hair,. Due to the picture being in black and white, you couldn't see what colour her hair was. She was also wearing gloves. But you couldn't see her face. Then the woman ran out of the room.

"One thing is clear. The defendant is not guilty." said Karuma as soon as it had finished.

"True... But who is this third person?" said Edgeworth.

"There is no way to know. No person fitting the description was found that day."

"Very well, I declare the defendant NOT GUILTY" cried the judge.

The trial was over. The crowd was shocked.

That;s it so far. Oh, can I say something?
First of all, the trial up there ^ is NOT related to the case.
Please comment.

OK, this is part two. It goes up to Sutwil, and introduces two of our new main characters.

When everyone else had left, Phoenix went down to the Defendant's lobby. Inside, the attroney was waiting.

"Yes?" said Karuma
"I have to talk..." replyed Phoenix
"Take your own case"
"Huh?"
"If you wanted to tlak to me, it would naturally be for defense purposes. But you are a defense attorney yourself. Therefore, I will refuse, and make you take your own case."
"No, it's not about that."
"Then get out of my sight."
"Listen! If you don't the kidnapper... he will... Pearl.."
"...Very well."
"What?"
"I will give you 2 minutes"
"OK."
Phoenix explained what had happened in the apartment
Karuma was deep in thought.
he then stood up and left.
"Thank you for the informaition"
"B-b-b-b-but..."
He never finished the sentence, and Karuma had left.

Back in his office, Phoenix saw the transeiver beepoing. He switched it on.
"You told him."
"I did."
The line went dead. Phoenix went to the crime scene of the case he was working on, after making sure Maya was still OK.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phoenix hired a taxi to take him to the crime scene.

As Phoenix got into the taxi, something very... odd was happenning at the place he was going.

Someone opened the door. That person went straight up to the Detective.

"Erm... Miss Fey."
"Yes, Detective?"
"We have enough evidence but..."
"But?"
"Your fresh out of law school... The department doesn't want yo..."

He never got another word in. The next moment he was on the floor, with a firm red cheek mark oin his face.

"Sorry, Miss Fey..."

The woman smiled, her blonde-brown hair, fashioned in the shape of a heart glinted in the sun. HEr clothes (which were nearly identical to Maya's) made her stand out. She left the scene.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phoenix arrived at the scene, only to see a frowning Gumshoe.

"What is it?" asked Phoenix
"Your client's gonna live" replyed Gumshoe.
"That's good. Why are you frowning?"
"The prosecuetor is presenting the decisive evidence... And we are looking for the new suspect."
"Who is it?"
"She won't give me a name."
"She... It's not Franziska is it?"
"Nope. Brand new one. Just came up yesterday."
"Oh, anyway, about the evidence..."
"The prosecuetor took all of it. Except your autopsy report. That was in my trenchcoat."
"Ah... thanks.

The report said 'Killed By Bomb Supposedly
Name: Lauren Skye
Tme: 3:01AM'

"Supposedly?" asked Phoenix.
"We found her charred remains. No evidence. So we can't be sure that the bomb was the weapon. But we still now that it was the only conceivable weapon." said Gumshoe.
"Thanks, I'll be going"
"One more thing..."
"Yes, Detective?"
"The prosecuetor... her surname is Fey."
"W-W-W-W-W-W-What?"
"All I can say."

Phoenix left, with his head in his hands.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Phoenix arrived at his office, he noticed two things instantly.

First, Maya was gone.
Second, where Maya was, there was now Pearl. Also, the transeiver was missing.

There was a message by Pearl.

"To Mr. Wrong, Pearls like sleeping agents, from Mr. Jones"

Phoenix scowled. He guessed he wouuld have to wait until tomorrow for her to wake up.

The next day...

Phoenix was nervous. Pearl was going to channel Mia, but she would not be able to until 10:30. So he had to last sometime without her. But she would still be in court. She might be some help, anyway.

In court...

"We are here for the trial of Lucas Biyang. Is the defense and prosecuetion ready?" asked the judge.
"Yes, Your Honour" said Phoenix.
"And I am standing here, why...?" said the prosecuetion on the room.
"Erm... Who are you?" asked the judge.
"Hmph.I am new in the courtroom, so I suppose it would be helpful for the court to know."
"I wonder who it is." asked PEarl. "I hope we can be friends" She then seemed very hppy by this thought. However, she never thought to get a proper look at this prosecutor. PHoenix knew Pearl would be in tears by the end of this.
"I am the 'Prodigy', Pearl Fey." said the prosecutor. She looked very much the part. The only things was that this person was the wrong proportions for a child, but some... 'body features' were not there.
"W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-WHAT!?" cried Pearl. Then she started sobbing.
Pheonix was outraged as well. Then he stopped. Maybe... Just maybe this was a coincedence.
"The prosecution begins it's opening statement. While I am standing here for the prosecution of Lucas Biyang, none of the evidence now points to it."
"So... what does this mean?"
"This trial... It needsto be postboned. Until tomorrow. Oh, I know what you will say. Why? Simple, the prosecution presents one piece of evidence. And one ALONE."
"W-w-wai..."
"Be quiet."
"OBJECTION! Then why didn't you call of the trial on these gorunds."
The prosecution thought. Phoenix knew if she couldn't find a legitimate excuse for this action, the prosecution would be unable to present this evidence. It would become illegal.
"Pearl, I think we have this person."
Pearl (The one by Phoenix) went back a few steps to get the best view.
"Erm.. Is that normal?" she asked, and she then pointed at this 'Pearl'.
She had her elbow on the desk, and was resting her hand in it. She was also positively beaming. Also, she was holding a small, white flag, which she was waving in the other hand.
"My reason: Evidence."
"W-w-w-w-WHAT? OBJECTION! Couldn't that have waited?"
"No, it clears an innocent man's name, while making sure that we hjave the right person. Here is the evidence: A video tape. I will now play it"

The video was decisive. At 2:59:99,a woman enterd the apartment (again, a top-down view was shown). The hairstyle of the person weas clear. A love heart. Then, the person grabbed a pulled a bomb fronm her clothes, planted it, and ran. Then Lauren came in, and *BOOM*. The camera then broke.

"You see?" asked 'Pearl' "I know exactly who this person is."
"Who is it?" asked Phoenix.
"THe person is Right next to you, Mr Wright!"
The court was in uproar.

Pearl was taken to the detention center, Lucas was released, and Phoenix got payed. Pheoenix knew one thing. This was bad.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the detention center, Pearl was waiting.

"Mr. Nick..."
"Yes, Pearls?"
"Can I ask you to t;lk to these people?"
She slid him a piece of paper, with two names on it.
"Sutwil and Steele?" Phoneix recognized the second staright offr the bat. he had defended him, and then worked on a case with him last month. He was now a business man, making the drink he made, 'Ocean Spray'. He was now in a lawsuit with the Manic Street Preachers. Sutwil didn't ring bells.
"Mr. Nick, go to Sutwil, he is in Kurain Village. He knows where Steele is. HE knows everything."
"Thanks, PEarls."

Pheonix left.

in Kurain Village, all the mediums were trsining. Phoenix went to the Side Room, like it said on the paper.

He heard something on the balcony, and he went oput. He was expected. There was a young man staring straight at him.

"Hello, Mr... Wright, I take it? I have heard much about you ffrom Maya.. and somethings from Pearl as well."

The person talked at a quick pace. He wore a costume that was similiar to the Kurain Channeling costuem, but with slight differences. First of all, the coat (the 'upper' layer of the costume) was blue. Underneath that, was the (now normal) colour of light pink. The purple bow was also larger (it was about as long as his ribs) and was a darker purple. He had a lot of hair. It fell down tp his ankles, and some of his hair was pulled up into a small love heart, similar tpo Pearl's. But this person seemed more omnious.

"All... right. Phoenix Wright, attorney at law." said.. Phoenix.
"very well, Phoneix. I am Sutwil, the only male to ever master the Kurain channeling technique. I am, in modesty, nearly a prodigy."
"How old are you?"
"I am 13. Not much older then Pearl."
"Hang on... Why don't you use the term Mystic?"
Sutwil threw his hair back and laughed. " It is merely a form of polacing us above other people. Somethign I abhor. Anyway, down to business. I you were to come here, Pearl must of sent you. Probably to meet Steele... Correct?"
"Yes..."
"But, before that, I want you to talk to someone. Miss Mia Fey."
"Why?"
"Simple. She knows how to solve the case."
"How?"
"Well, she will. I will go to the Channeling Chamber. I will leave her a note. Ask her about the murder in 5 minutes." He them burrowed his brow in thought. It was the first time his facial expression changed.
"What?" asked Phoenix.
"I wonder if cross-gender channeling works..."
The pair left, and then Sutwil picked up his hair, and scooped it up into a bun. He then ran into the Channeling Chamber.

This all I have for now. Oh, if you think that some of this is creating suspense, then dropping it, is becuase it is hosted in two-paragraph posts on the other website.

When Phoenix walked into the Channeling Chamber, he noticed Mia, who was apparentely looking at a long stick with a glove on it.

"Hello, Phoenix." she said, noticing his presense immeditately.
"Hell, Mia." replyed Phoenix. Too be honest, Sutwil did know a lot. He had changed his clothes before the channeling, so it looked more or less natural... except for the huge mass of hair (which was placed into a bun).
"I know what has happened. Sutwil left me a note."
"Ah. Erm... what is that?" Phoenix asked, gesturing to the stick.
"I don't know. Something that Sutwil has done..."
Then, the stickbounced, and grabbed Mia's sleeve. It then dropped off, grabbed a pen, and picked up the note that Sutwil had left. On thw back, it wrote something. Phoenix picked it up, and read it aloud.

"Hello, my name is Mr. Hand. Sutwil made me. He told me to get you a chance to talk to Steele. But, I have a condition. You must let me see Franziska VOn Karma."

"Phoenix... are you sure that's what it says?" asked Mia, who was curois about the message.
"Yes, I am sure."
"WHere is Franziska, anyway?" asked Mia.
Phoenix explained about the scene the day before yesterday.
Mr Hand tapped Phoenix on the shoulder, and then wrote down one word on the paper. HOtti.
"That's where she is, then" said Phoenix.
And so they went there.

-Mr. Hand added as evidence-

OK, this is going quick, so I will go into some more detail on Mr. Hand. The apperanence of Mr. Hand. Mr Hand is basically, a stcik, with some complicated machinery wired in. A glove is placed over the top of that, black and leather. The deising of him is so Sutwil's sense of humour is consistent. It is known to do rude gestures very oftenly. Using it's fingers (and small, thin legs on the beam) it can move along the ground, and can push itself up, making it 'jump'. Sutwil often places it on high sheleves and the like. Anyway, back to the story.

In the Hotti Clinic, the mental patient was not out (apparentely he had been clobbered with a whip). Mia alsosaid that Sutwil was not able to keep the channeling for long, something was calling her away, and Sutwil was tiring himself quickly to stop it. Franziska agreed to talk to him. She said that she could give him some evidence. But first, Phoneix showed her Mr. Hand. She didn't know anything about it, but was rather intrugued with it... until she saw the gesture the hand was doing. She then threw it back to Phoenix. Also, Mia then said she had to go to the toilet for a while.

Phenoix asked her about the piece of evidence. She give him an empty glass.

"What's this?"
"Hmph. It is the most powerful piece of evidence. If you can find out what this drop of fluid (she pointed at the purple fluid in the glass) is, you know the real murder weapon. I have no idea."
"Ok, Franziska."
Then, Mia came back, and Phoneix then saw something peculiar. For a moment, he saw Mia's features fall apart, to be replaced by Sutwil's. Then they went back to normal. Phoenix then left the center, and Mia went back to Phoenix's office.

Pheonix went to the office not long after. He found Sutwil, leaning on the couch in his office, and, most starngely, he was wearing his original clothes.

"Oh, I did carry some extra clothes with me (in the taxi)"
"ah, OK"
"Oh, Maya is *toilet flushes* in the toilet."
Maya walked out. She seemed extremely happy that Phoenix was there. Maya wanted to tlak with him immeditately, but she needed to talk to Pearl at the same time. Sutwil had explained the case, and so they all went to the Detention Center.

Pearl was waiting. Sutwil was sitting down in one of the three chairs, and Maya and Phoenix in the other two. Maya said immediately that there was two ways to win the case.

"One, we find out what the stuff in the glass is. Then we get leads from there." Maya said
"Good!" said Phoenix.
Pearl jumped for joy at it.
"But... that leaves us with over 100 possibilities left. And we can't cross-reference, we don't have an age." said Sutwil, bringing down the mood.
"OK, Two, I think that the apartment has a a ID Crad scanner. We just look up the name."
"Better then the last one. said Phoenix
Pearl started biting her thumb. "That prosecutor lady said ID Cards were Magatamas..." she whispered, only just above ear level.
Sutwil voiced his opinion. "First, I already have. Here is the sheet."

Phoenix looked at it. The name for the time was... Pearl Fey. Phoenix read it aloud. But, before Pearl started crying, Sutwil spoke.

"Remember, Pearl doesn't know what an ID card is. She thinks they are Magatama's. Now, who is the only other person with the name PEARL..."
"That prosecutor".. said Phoenix.

There was nothing left to say. Tomorrow, they were next to dead.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, something popped into Sutwil's mind.

"Phoneix, we have to meet Steele!" he shouted.
Phoenix and Maya left the room in a panic. Sutwil ran straight to the Courtroom. He walked up two flights of stairs, and then came into a starnge room. It led into the Spectator's gallery. Phoenix had gone in the other side. There was no room there. There was a young man in a business suit on the couch on the west side.

"Steele." said Sutwil, nodding.
"Sutwil." said Steele, nodding back. "Hello, Phoenix, Maya." he said, with slightly more feeling.
"Hello Steele." said Phoenix.
"Hiya" said Maya.
"Right, as soon as we're finished using 3 syllables maximum per sentence, Steele, I have a task for you. It is simple enough. Can you tell what this liquid is?" said Sutwil
"Can I stab you in the heart now? I can, so I can do this easy." he replied. It took him 5 seconds. "Ocean Spray" he said.
"Ocean... Spray?" asked Maya.
"Steele's favourite drink, he is now making it on a nationwide scale. Becuase of the name, he is being sued by the Manic Street Preachers. He is innocent on all charges, thank you very much." said Phoenix, having an unnatural knowledge of it.
"Wow, Nick... hwo did you know that?" said Maya.
"Erm... I have daily weekly updates from Steele." said Phoenix.
"Hm... Can I ask a question?" asked Steele.
"What?" asked Sutwil, and Phenix, within seconds of each other.
"It is: Why do you want to know?" he asked
Phoenix explained what Franziska had said.
"ah, very well." Steele finnaly said.

That night, Phoenix had a dream.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" IT was the first sound.
Phoenix found himself in the Courtroom, looking across the Courtroom, to see Maya talking to the judge. HE then noticed where he was. He was by the Prosecutions's bench, chained to the ground. Steele was on the stand. He was talking about the murder... that Phoenix had done. Then, the defense attorney, who was Maya, said she had no more questions. That judge's gavel pounded down... declaring Phoenix as a murderer. That slam... it was his practical death. Phoenix then woke up, deep underground. He could hear a voice... A familiar voice...

"As much as you try... Turnabouts don't happen..."

That voice... It was... It was...

Phoenix woke up.


The courtroom... Today it was omnious. Phoneix was by the defense's desk. Court was about to begin... And they were unlikely to win. They would be beaten unless luck was on thier side. A harsh whisper buzzed into his ear. Phoenix turned his head, expecting MAya to be there. But instead, was Sutwil. He was wearing a large black cloak, which was a multidtude of pockets. He has been wearing it in the morning. He was going to be his aide for this trial. There was one witness, Pearl herself, as far as Phoenix knew, anyway. And a high anmount of evidence. Court began.

"This is the trial of State Vs Fey." said the Judge "Are the sides ready?"
"Yes, Your Honour" spoke Phoenix
"Your Honour" said 'Pearl'.
"Very well. The prosecutions opening statement?"
"The prosecution is here to prove Pearl Fey guilty of the murder of Lauren Skye."
"Very well." said the Judge, nodding. "Evidence?"
"The sheet if paper showing the names of people who were on the same floor as the victims. At 2:59, the defendant's name comes up. Also the victim's curtains. They were blown onto a balcony. They are covered in the defendant;s fingerprints. Finally, a scrap of the defendant's channeling costume was torn inside the partment. That is all, Your HOnour." she then said.
Phoenix biy his tounge. The case against Pearl ws solid.
"No it isn't Phoenix." said Sutwil, who was grinning.
"But it all points to Pearl..." said Phoenix.
"Two of them are. One of them is not so solid." he then said. "Think about Phoenix."
Then Phoenix understood.
"OBJECTION!" yelled Phoenix. "As the court knows, the apartment was blown to bits by the bomb! there was nothing for it to get caught on! Also, if I am correct, the murderer LEFT the apartment! So, why is this EVIDENCE HERE NOW!"
"HOLD IT!" cried 'Pearl' "Your agrguement is a mess!" She was pounding the desk with her fist.
"Oh, but in what way, Miss Fey?" asked Sutwil, who picked up from Phoenix.
She seemed shocked by this.
"Hm.. Miss Fey, do you have a reason?"
'No... Your Honour"
Sutwil seemed pleased. "Phoenix. There is only one way that evidence can exist. And that is if it is forged."
"Hmm..." said Phoenix.
"HOWEVER!" said the female prosecutor "I will rpoceed to call a witness to the stand. He did not witness the crime, but he will clear up the murder weapon. A bomb... WASN'T THE MAIN WEAPON!"
"W-w-w-WHAT!?" cried Phoenix.
Steele was then called to the stand.
"Witness, state your name and profession." came 'Pearl's' voice.
"I go by the name of Steele, and I manufacture the drink 'Ocean Spray'"
"Ok, testify about the properties of Ocean Spray."
"Ok."

TESTIMONY

"Ocean Spray has various properties."
"These include it's purple colour, and light taste"
"It is also quite flammable,"
"when exposed to petrol and fire, it explodes"

"..." said the Judge "This was a waste of time. It will be striken from the Record."
"OBJECTIOn, you FOOL!" screamed 'Pearl. "This is very relevant. After all, IT WAS THIS DRINK THAT CAUSED THE MURDER!"
"It was?" said the Judge
"Yes, it was. A statement will be added to the testimony." said 'EParl.
"Well, Phoenix, this is it. Time to destroy another piece of decisive evidence." said Sutwil

CROSS EXAMINAITION

When Phoenix got to the statemnt about the explosion, he asked about Ocean Spray being the murder weapon. Steele then said he would mend his testimony.

"Apprantely, Ocean spray caused the murder"

"OBJECTION!" cried Phoenix. "Steele, are you sure of that?"
"If the prosecutor is right, then it is true. Maybe my 'services' might convince you..."
"No, thanks. But, that's a little odd. After all, THIS IS A CONTRADICTION!"
Steele's tie shook for a bit, then he regained his composure. "Where is it?"
"Simple. In this video, it shows someone planitng a bomb. Oh, and this bomb... IT EXPLODES!"
"Gah!" cried Steele, who winced.
"Good going Phoenix. This makes this testimony useless." said Sutwil
"B-b-b-b-but.." said 'Pearl' who was smashing the desk again
"The witness may leave." said the Judge.
Steele got off the stand.
"So I was wrong... But!" said the prosecutor. " I know one thing. That I can now prove the defendant guilty no matter what!"
"How?" said Phoenix
"Simple. I call Miss Pearl Fey to the stand!"

Pearl came up to the stand. She was standing on an upside-down wine box.

" We know your name, so we can get on with the testimony. I want you to testify about your ID Card." said 'Pearl'
"OK" said the real Pearl.

TESTIMONY

"I had my ID Card on the day of the murder
"I lost it yesterday afternoon though"
"I had it at 3 o'clock that morning."

"See, Your Honour. She admits it" said 'Pearl'
" My cross examinaition has started" said Phoenix

CROSS EXAMINIATION

Phoenix pressed all of the statements. Nothing new. then the judge said

"There is no room for doubt in this testimony. I declare the defendant..."

"OBJECTION!"

It was a very loud one.Every one was in shock... excpet for Sutwil, who had objected.

"Pearl Fey!" he said smashing the desk with his hands. "You are leaving one fine detail out!"
"What isthis detail?" said 'Pearl' who then smashed a clear hole in the desk.
"Actually, I have a better idea. Pearl? Can you testify about what an ID Card looks like?
"OBJECTION! That is useless!" said 'Pearl'
"No it isn't!"
"OK, I agree with the defense's arguement." said the Judge

TESTIMONY

"It is round and shiny..."

"OBJECTION!" Came Phoenix's voice. "I know something now. THE DEFENDANT HAS NEVER SEEN AN ID CARD! But this leaves a problem. why is her name on the record. I know why. Because... SOMEONE WITH THE SAME NAME DID IT! Oh, and there's only one person. THE PROSECUTION!"

Then... she broke down. The prosecution eyes went red. She confessed.

".I went into the apartment... I had a gel version of her prints... On gloves... I activated the bomb... it blew up... I went back in.. and fabricated the evidence..."

"I pronounce the defendant NOT GUILTY under the curcumstances."

Cheers went up amongest the court members.

Then, the lights went out. 'Pearl' was laughing. "I will not be caught by you... I will be back" Then the lights came back on.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the defenadant lobby, PEarl was jumping for joy more then ever before.

"Thank you, Mr. Nick!"
"Good job, Nick" said Maya
"Good job." said Steele
"And there are no loose ends. This is a closed case"said Sutwil
"Thanks." said Phoenix

"The only problem now is the 'Pearl' who escaped" said Sutwil
"I'm sure the police will get her." said Maya.

Later... at Phoenix's Office

"Phoenix." came a voice
Phoenix came into his office, and saw Sutwil wating.
"Phoenix, let me ask a question. Would you like for me to ecome an employee?"
"I would... But what about your training?" replied Phoenix.
"I can put that in as well."
"Very well. It would be good to have you employed here." said Phoenix.
