Canterlot Castle~Hallway

"I've never felt so embarrassed in whole life" I said in an irritated tone as I continued down the long hallway along with Mr Wright and the ponies that brought us here. I was still in complete disbelief that all this had happened to me and the different kind of reactions that I was getting from the different ponies roaming the halls wasn't helping.

"I wouldn't say it was that bad" Rainbow Dash said in a sheepish tone as she ran her hoof through her mane.

I shot her an annoyed glance "where you even looking at the different looks that I was getting from those ponies, they probably this that I'm some horned monster" I said trying to convey my annoyance. "Also I swear that green unicorn I passed has some kind of obsession with my hands" I said while eyeing my own hand carefully.

"Don't pay any attention to them Mr Justice, they just aren't used to seeing any of your kind around here" Rarity said in a reassuring tone.

"Yeah Apollo, you should feel honoured" said Mr Wright in a joking tone and laughing a little, I just threw him an irritated look (your enjoying this, aren't you Mr Wright?) I think sarcastically. As we turned the corner I saw more recognisable faces from the photo, that dragon like thing and two other ponies, one of them was pink with a curly mane and the other was bright orange wearing a cowboy hat.

"There you girls are" the dragon said while both he and the other ponies ran up to us "what took you so long, visiting hours are almost...over." The dragon stopped talking as soon as he noticed us "err...who are these guys, I thought you were getting Phoenix here."

Mr Wright gave the dragon his trademark grin before speaking "well its nice to see you again too Spike" the ex-lawyer said in a sly way, this caused to dragon to go wide eyed for a second.

"Feenie? wow thats a great costume, I could've sworn you were a hobo from the look of you" the pink pony said in a bubbly tone.

"Well its not exactly a costume Pinkie, but it is good to see you girls again" Mr Wright said while scratching the back of his head.

"Are these more of your pony friends Mr Wright?" I ask in a calm tone as Mr Wright nodded.

"And jus' who in the hay are you supose' ta' be?" the orange pony said looking at me in a confused way.

"I'm Apollo, Apollo Justice, I work for Mr Wright over at the agency" I introduced not wanting to be rude, even if I was talking to a bunch of talking ponies. (I'm going to need some serious therapy after all this) I think to myself about the reprocusions of this.

"Well then nice to meetcha' sugarcube, mah names AppleJack" the cowpony introduced while shaking my hand vigorously, causing it to lose all feeling.

"Hi there Polly, I'm Pinkie Pie, party thrower extrordiner" the crazy haired pony said blowing into a noise maker and throwing a bunch of confetti into the air. I backed away slowly from her while wondering what was going on through her mind.

"and I'm Spike, pleasure" the dragon said in an unsure tone, he then turned back Mr Wright, giving the ex-attorney a concerned look "I think you know whats happening to Twilight by now Phoenix" he said in a sad tone.

"Yes Spike I know, but I can't defend her in court" Mr Wright said regretably promting a look of shock from the ponies and dragon.

"W-WHAT!? but why, Twilights life is on the line here and your not doing anything about it" Spike said with tears forming in his eyes and a look of rage showing on his face.

"Now Spike its not like that at all, Mr Wright can't defend Twilight because he is out of practice" Rarity said in a calm tone trying to calm the dragon down. But after hearing that Mr Wright was out of practice Spike had a look of confusion on his face.

"What do you mean by 'out of practice'" the young dragon said in confused tone.

"I lost my attorneys badge ages ago and I haven't defended in court since" he said down to the dragon before looking directly at me and putting his had on my shoulder. "Fortunately Apollo over here volunteered to come with me and has agreed to here Twilight out about the crime" he said in a confident tone, which only made me face palm (if by volunteered you mean kidnapped then yes I agreed) I think sarcastically.

"Are ya' sure 'bout this Mr Wright, Ah mean this fella don't look like he's that experienced" AppleJack said eyeing me suspiciously (gee thanks for your support) I think in an annoyed tone.

"I have complete faith in Apollo, he's just as good a lawyer as I was and as I've heard you don't really have time to find another lawyer" he said to the ponies to which all of them replied with a slow nod. "Just trust me on this one girls, right now he's the only one qualified for the job" he said giving me a trustful smile, me on the other hand I was panicking at this statement (could you maybe have a little less faith in me boss) I think nervously.

"Well...alright then Phoenix, we'll take your word for it" Spike said in more of a trusting voice, he then came over to me and took my hand in his claw. "The dungeon is this way Apollo, just follow me" he said leading me to the dungeon entrance which was being heavily guarded, I attempted to enter but the guards blocked the entrance with their spears.

"Unless you have any business in the dungeon I suggest you leave, unless you want to end up in a cell yourself" the white guard said in a threatening tone which me to jump a little.

"But I am here on business" I say to the guard in a brave voice, even though in reality I was scared out of my socks. "I'm here to see this 'Twilight' about the crime shes been accused of" I said to the guard ponies in a demanding tone.

"Then show your identification" the guard pony on the right said in an equally strict tone.

"Right here" I say to the guards showing my attorneys badge to the ponies with a smug grin on my face (I don't know what I'd do without this thing) I think in a triumphant way. But to my shock the guard still wouldn't let me in.

"What is that?" the guard on the left asked me with his voice still showing signs of getting out of the way.

"Its my attorneys badge" I said in a confused voice as I examined my badge.

"An attorneys badge? it looks like you got that badge from a cereal box" the guard said (did I just get insulted?) I thought as the guard gave me a more serious look. "Unless you have offical Equestrian identification beat it spikey" the guard said as I rejoined the others.

"Well theres no way I'm getting into the dungeon with my badge, so now what?" I ask as the ponies and dragon consider their options.

"I think I might have the solution Apollo" Mr Wright said as he revealed the pink heart that had been in the evidence box.

"Come on Mr Wright be serious for a moment, how am I suposed to get into the dungeon with a pink heart?" I ask in irritation.

"Hey isn't that the girly defence badge that you used last time Feenie?" Pinkie Pie said in before going into a laughing fit.

"Girly defence badge...Your kidding right?" I said looking at the heart in disbelief "this is an attorneys badge here?" I questioned before Mr Wright nodded trying his hardest not to laugh himself.

"Yep, I'm sure this should help get you into the dungeon to speak with Twilight" he said with a smirk on his face.

I pondered this for a moment before I sighed "alright fine, just gimme the badge" I said as I took the badge from Mr Wright (goodbye dignity, we had a good run) I think as I looked at the badge.

Equestrian Attorney Badge added to court record

After I took the badge I walked back over to the guards wearing the badge "Okay guys here it is" I say presenting them the heart shaped badge. (Klavier would be laughing it up if he saw me now) I thought as the guards finally moved out of the way "alright then girls lets go" I said motioning for the girls, Spike and Mr Wright to follow me into the dungeon.

"Sorry Mr Apollo" said Fluttershy in a quiet voice, which I had grown to expect from her at this point "but only attorneys are allowed to speak with the suspects, sorry" she apologised.

"So I have to go into that dark dungeon, BY MYSELF!?" I shouted in fear at this fact.

Mr Wright just came up to me and gave me a reassuring smile "don't worry about it Apollo, just focus on your talk with Twilight" he said reminding me of what I was doing here.

"Well could you at least tell me what she looks like, that way I can avoid asking violent criminals and possibly getting hurt" I ask trying to get a description from the ex-lawyer about the suspect, as well as avoid getting myself critically hurt.

Mr Wright just remained quiet before finally speaking "you'll know when you see her Apollo" he said being his usual criptic self. "We'll be right here when you come out, good luck" he said as I walked down the steps to the dungeon (well I've lived a long and full-filling life, right?) I think as I go to meet the suspect.

Canterlot Castle~Dungeon

I walked through the dark, damp dungeon of the castle, trying to find the suspect for this case while avoiding the various ponies who where reaching through the cell bars trying to get me, as well as shouting various insults at me like "Mr Red Monkey" or "freak show" as I continued through the dungeon. (I think I owe Trucy an apology from when I said ponies will never be scary) I thought shivering in fear at the criminal ponies, after a good few minutes I finally heard something different among all the yelling, the sound of someone crying.

Following the sound I found a cell containing a lavender unicorn inside it, but there was something different about this unicorn, this unicorn had a pair of wings (it seems I've found this Twilight everyone was going on about) I thought as I heard her crying to herself. I slowly walked up to the cell trying as hard as I could to be quiet, but I obviously failed because she got aware of my presence the closer I got to the cell "who-whose there?" the unicorn questioned out of a mixture of fear and sadness.

I finally revealed myself to the unicorn, who went wide eyed at the sight of me "woah there, I'm not going to hurt you" I say with my hands held up, in an attempt to calm her down.

"You, you're a human" the unicorn said wiping her tears away and looking at me in an interesting way, almost as if she was examining me. "What are you doing here?" she asked in a questioning tone but when she noticed the pink badge I was wearing I saw a glimmer of hope in her eyes "wait a moment, are you..." she began before I stopped her by holding up my hand.

"I haven't agreed to anything yet, but I at least want to know more about the crime that you've been accused of before I make my judgement" I say trying not to rasie her hopes to high in case I declined, she looked like she was depressed enough as it. "I'm Apollo by the way, Apollo Justice attorney at law" I introduced while offering a smile to try and brighten the mood "I assume your this Twilight pony that those ponies upstairs have told me about" I finish with the winged unicorn sighing slightly.

"Yes, I'm Twilight Sparkle, its nice to meet you Mr Justice" she said still sounding a little bit broken, not that I could blame her at this point.

"So if you don't me asking" I begin while pulling up a nearby stool to sit on "how does a unicorn like you end up with a death penalty placed over her head?" I asked still pondering what got her locked up in the first place. (Compared to what regular punishment for murder is around here, I don't know whether or not the death penalty is more or less cruel then what she would've got?) I think to myself still bafled by the bizare way this world works.

"First of all Mr Justice I'm not a unicorn anymore, I'm an alicorn" Twilight told me in a stern voice, but all this did was cause me to roll my eyes (I'm a lawyer, not a fariy tale expert, did you expect me to know what you were) I think to myself in an annoyed tone. "Secondly the reason I'm in here is that I've been acused of murding a member of the royal family of Equestria" the alicorn said now sounding a little bit frightened.

"I'm going to need more details of the crime before I make my decision Twilight" I tell the pony in the cell while at the same time keeping my left hand on my bracelet. "So could you tell me a little bit more about the crime?" I ask in a firm tone.

"Well I don't know a lot about the murder, but I'll tell you everything I know" she said starting to sound a little bit more perky but still rather hurt. "All I know is that the murder victim in this case was the nephew of Princess Celestia, Prince Blueblood" she said finally revealing the name of the victim in the case.

"Do you know anything about the victim besides his relations?" I asked trying to find out as much about the victim as I could, seeing as how anything about the victim could help in case given my experience.

"Only that he was one of the most eligible bachelors in Canterlot" Twilight said before her eyes narrowed a little bit "and an incident that happened between him and one of my friends at the Gala, but thats beside the point" she said before changing the subject. "The point is that he was murdered last night in his own room" she said starting to get more and more serious.

"So do you know why you where made the prime suspect?" I ask trying to get a little bit more info about the case.

"I'm sorry Apollo, but all I remember is the guards bursting into the room and arresting me on the spot" she said before I saw tears begin to form in her eyes. "I remember all those ponies looking at me like I was a monster and worst of all the princess, she looked so ashamed and dissapointed in me" she said before completly breaking down into tears "I-I feel so alone."

"Hey cheer up, your not completly alone" I said trying to calm the crying alicorn "your friends obviously haven't abandoned you, otherwise I wouldn't be in this mess and Mr Wright seems to believe your innocent so you have that" I continue with a convincing smile on my face.

Her face lit up in shock after I mentioned Mr Wright "Wright...as in Phoenix Wright, he's here to?" she asked in complete shock.

"Yeah, except he's not in a position to be the defence, so he sent me down here to hear your side of the story and from what I've heard you sound pretty innocent to me" I said before looking at my bracelet. (Time for the million dolar question) I thought before going in for the question "but I have to make sure, so I want you to answer this next question honestly Twilight, did you have anything to do with the death of Prince Blueblood?" I ask while doing my objection point.

"I'm telling you nothing but the truth Apollo, I didn't do anything" she said sternly as I once again turned to my bracelet, and there was no reaction (its official, she's innocent) I think before Twilights voice brought me out of my thoughts. "Are you okay there, you kinda blanked out on me for a second" the alicorn said sounding concerned.

"It's nothing Twilight, but I've decided I will represent you in court as your attorney, I trust you" I said while noticing a gilmmer of hope in her eyes after I'd said this.

"You will, thank you so much Mr Justice, I owe you one" she said with a look of excitement on his face.

"Hey calm down, I still have to win the trial" I said with Twilight looking slightly embarrassed after I said this. "I suppose the first thing I should do is head to Bluebloods room and find some evidence that should be useful in court, you wouldn't happen to know where it is would you?" I asked still a little unsure about the castles layout.

"His room is a floor up from the main hallway and two doors on the right" Twilight said now starting to look much better, still a little bit depressed but feeling much better than before.

"Alright thanks Twilight, now just hang in there, I'll have you out of here in no time" I said as I began to leave the dungeon, while the unicorn said a quiet good luck as I left. (Why do I have the feeling that Mr Wright knew this would happen) I thought as went to rejoin the group in the hallway.
