Canterlot Castle~Hallway

(Well, that went better than I expected it to go) I thought to myself as I emerged from the dungeon, almost instantly I was greeted by Mr Wright along with the now familiar faces of the five ponies and baby dragon. "Apollo! How did it go?" Rainbow Dash asked in a curious tone.

I decided not to keep any of the group in suspense any longer "well I've made up my mind, I've decided to defend Twilight" I announced finally giving the ponies the answer that they where looking for.

Almost instantly after I had said this, I saw all the ponies eyes light up with gratitude, but it seemed like Spike had the most noticeable reaction. "Y-you will?" the baby dragon said with his eyes filling with joy at each passing second.

I nodded as a reply to his question "I can't just sit back and watch someone whose truly innocent be punished for a crime that they didn't commit, no matter how strange the origin" I said in a determined voice. "Don't worry about a thing girls, I'll get Twilight out of this mess, I promise" I said noticing Mr Wright in the corner with a smug look on his face.

Immediately after I had said this, I was tackled straight to the ground by Pinkie Pie "thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou, you have no idea how much this means to us Polly" the party pony said at one million miles per hour while giving me a bone crushing hug. (Owwwww, I think she might've broken my back) I thought out of pain as AppleJack dragged her off me.

"Hold yer horses there sugar, give the fella some space" the farmer said to Pinkie before offering me a hoof to help me up. "Sorry bout that Apollo, she just gets excited easily" she continued with a sheepish smile as I dusted myself off.

"Its okay, but can please save the celebrations until after the trial, all I've done is accept her defence request" I said while trying to calm the group down. "That reminds me, when exactly is the trial?" I asked not wanting to be unprepared for this case.

"Erm... the trial is tomorrow morning Mr Apollo" Fluttershy replied in her usual innocent voice, which I had gotten accustomed to in the past few hours.

"Well then, that gives us plenty of time to-" I began to say before I actually realised what the yellow pegasus had said. "Wait a second, DID YOU SAY TOMORROW MORNING!?" I blurted out in shock causing everyone in the group to jump in surprise, Fluttershy being the most shocked by all this.

"Eep...yes tomorrow morning, did I say something wrong? I'm sorry if I did" the shy pony said in a shaken up voice and trembling as a result of my outburst.

"No you didn't say anything wrong, but now this means that I only have a few hours to gather evidence and have a case ready" I said as the reality of the situation came crashing down on me.

"Don't panic Apollo" Mr Wright said as he placed a hand on my shoulder "I was underprepared my first time in Equestria as well, we just have to make sure that we have a quick start on the investigation" he continued with a confident look on his face. I on the other hand was panicking on the inside (I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack at any second now) I thought to myself in fear.

"Nix is right girls, if we want to help Twilight we have to start investigating right away" Dash said in a cocky, yet determined tone of voice. The pegasus then flew over to me "so Apollo, what do we do first?" asked the multi-coloured maned pegasus.

"Well seeing as how we have no leads at the moment, I'd suggest we head over to the crime scene" I said starting to finally calm down about the whole 'last minute preparation' thing. "Who knows, the police probably missed something while they where looking around" I finished as the group nodded in agreement.

"Alright then, lead the way Apollo" Spike said now sounding less depressed and more determined as I led the group to the crime scene.

Prince Blueblood's Room

We finally arrived at the the crime scene and needless to say it wasn't hard finding out where it was, considering that it was the only door on the corridor with police tape on it. "So, this is the place huh?" I asked to no one in particular earning a nervous nod from each of the ponies (Well, lets see what fine mess I've gotten myself into this time) I thought to myself as I opened the door.

The room was an absolute mess, with furnitue sprawled all over the place, the lights where flickering on and off, the window was wide open and the bed mattress completely drenched in the victims blood, with a tape line on top of it to show where the victim had died. I recoiled in shock at the scene that was before me and I wasn't the only one with most of the ponies and even Mr Wright having looks of shock on their faces.

"Oh my word, I knew that Blueblood was an inconsiderate stallion but I never would've wished this to happen to him" Rarity said in complete disbelief.

"Y-yeah, I think I'm with you there Rarity, this is just messed up" Rainbow Dash said with more of a disgusted look on her face.

I quickly snapped out of the stunned state I had been in and remembered why we came here in the first place. "Alright everyone, lets ignore the state of the room for now and focus on finding evidence that could be useful" I said in an almost commanding tone.

"You got it Polly, detective Pinkie Pie is on the case" Pinkie said with a quick salute before she pulled out a Sherlock Holmes styled hat and a magnifying glass from out of nowhere. (I really should be questioning this, but given everything I've seen so far I'm just going to let it slide) I Thought before offically starting to investigate.

After a couple of minutes of searching, we came across our first clue "Hey everypony, ya might wanana see this" AppleJack said as she called over from one of the side of the bed, causing me to roll my eyes at the terminology. (You know you can say 'everybody' and I'd still understand what you mean) I thought to myself before examining what the farm pony had found, a small piece of torn fabric.

"Hmm, what the heck is this thing? It doesn't look like it came from anything in the room" I said while examining the rooms white colour scheme.

"It could've belonged to the victim, there might have been a struggle between him and the murder" Mr Wright suggested only for that theory to shot down moments later.

"I doubt it Nix, from what I saw of the guy he only wore white" Rainbow said in an unsure look on her face.

"Then maybe we should keep this thing, who knows it might come in handy in the trial tomorrow" I said while putting the fabric into a brown folder.

Small piece of fabric has been added to the Court Record

"Hey Polly, do you think that this will come in handy?" Pinkie Pie said before she handed me a book with the picture of a magic wand on the cover.

"What is this?" I said as I took the book from the pink pony and began looking through the book, the book itself contained various giberish titles including Goldor, Ignaize and Dimere. "Anyone want to fill me in on what this is? because I don't speak randomness" I said still trying to make sense of the book.

Spike walked over to us and took a quick look at the book "it looks like an intermediate level spell book, I know because Twilight used to have one of these before she moved to Ponyville" the dragon explained to us as I continued to look through the book, then I found out this book wasn't even the victims.

"Look at this" I said pointing to the middle of the cover page, the page was handwritten and it said 'this book is property of T.L.'

"Who in the hay is 'T.L'?" Rainbow Dash asked in confusion as I closed the book.

"I don't know Rainbow, but I'm positive that this might come in handy at the trial tomorrow, I think we should take it" I said putting the book away in the folder.

Unicorn spell book has been added to the Court Record

"Is there anything else around here that we can use?" I asked before I stumbled across another clue, however unlike the other two pieces of evidence this one was a mysterious green substance right next to the bed. "What is this stuff?" I said as I examined it further and essentially called the others to check it out as well.

"I don't know, but that shade of green does look...familiar" said Rarity who was looking quite puzzled. "But I for the life of me can't remember where I've seen it before" the unicorn finished with the other ponies also giving off uncertain looks.

"Don't think to hard into it Rarity, this stuff is evidence in its own right" I said as I grabbed a container that was on the desk nearby and scooped the green substance into it. (This stuff looks like it came from an alien or something, but considering I've got talking ponies on my hands right now aliens really wouldn't surprise me) I thought as I closed the containers lid.

Strange green substance has been added to the Court Record

"Right, so have we missed anything?" I said wanting to be as prepared as possible for the trial.

"What about this Apollo?" Mr Wright said holding up a lavender feather, simillar to the colour that was on Twilights wings.

"A feather? no offense Mr Wright but how does this prove Twilight is innocent?" I asked wondering what the ex-attorney was up to.

"Twilight's a unicorn right? Well this proves that a pegasus killed Blueblood, not Twilight" Mr Wright said in a relieved tone, but all he got from us was a bunch of confused looks (No one has told him yet, have they?) I thought as I gave Mr Wright the news.

"I'm not so sure boss, Twilight definitely had wings the last time when I first saw her" I said as I watched Mr Wrights expression turn from relief to confusion.

"Yeah Nix, Twilight is an alicorn like Princess Celestia now" Rainbow Dash continued prompting Mr Wright to give the ponies a glare.

"Why didn't any of you tell me about this?" Mr Wright exclaimed in shock dropping the feather in the process.

"Sorry about that Phoenix" Spike apologised "Its just that with Twilight being in danger of execution we haven't been able to think straight" the dragon finished calming down the piano player.

"Its fine Spike, I'd be the same way if Maya was in this much trouble" Mr Wright said in an understanding tone of voice.

I then picked up the feather that Mr Wright dropped and examined it slightly "I still think we should take this feather boss, at this rate we need all the evidence we can get" I said slipping the feather into the folder.

Twilight's feather has been added to the Court Record

After closing up the folder I took another look around the room to see whether or not I'd missed any evidence, unfortunately it seemed like this was all I could find. "Looks like this is all where going to find" I said in a regetfull tone.

"Are ya' sure bout that sugarcube? it don't seem like we've been searching fer that long" AppleJack said in a confused tone of voice.

I slowly but surely nodded "the police must have the rest of the evidence with them right now, we'll probably see it tomorrow in court" I said before frowning slightly "I only wish I had more time to prepare."

"Where terribly sorry about the short notice Mr Justice, its just that I never thought that summoning spell would take so long to figure out" said Rarity looking down at the floor in shame.

"Hey don't be too hard on yourself, besides what we found here is better than no evidence at all" I said in a calm tone. "But we probably should get some sleep if we want to be fully awake for the trial tomorrow" I continued with a yawn.

"Awww, but I'm not tired yet Polly" Pinkie said starting to sounding like a kid who wanted to stay up late, but moments after she said this the party pony was fast asleep. (I don't the word strange is enough to describe this pony) I thought as she was levitated into the air by Rarity's magic.

"Yeah, I think some shut-eye is what we need at the moment" Mr Wright said in the same worn out tone we all had at the moment. "You girls go on ahead, we'll catch up with you" the former lawyer said as the others left the room, he then turned his attention to me "you okay Apollo? you seem a little tense" he said to me giving me a worried glance.

I sighed before answering him "I'm just not so sure about this Mr Wright, I mean I feel as though I'm completly out of my element here" I said to Mr Wright in an unsure voice.

"Apollo, don't worry about a thing" Mr Wright said in a calm tone. "Let me tell you something my mentor told me, if you believe in your client then just go off that and pursue that truth, if you do then nothing can stop you" he finished giving me one of his trademark smirks.

I started to feel a little better and relieved about the trial after Mr Wright said that "thanks boss, I'm still feeling a little nervous though" I said with a small smile.

"Its fine, we all go through it" Mr Wright in a sympathetic tone before he suddenly getting a little more serious. "Just a word advice though, I'd recommend doing a little research on Equestria before heading off to bed, just to avoid a certain mistake that I made during Rainbows trial" he said with a nervous look on his face.

I replied with a nod before a voice interupted us "hey are you guys coming?" said Spike who was standing in the doorway with his arms crossed.

"Where coming Spike" I said as we followed him to our rooms for the remainder of our visit. (This is going to be on difficult trial esspecially giving the circumstances, but I gave my word to defend Twilight and I have no intention of going back on that promise now, I just hope that justice will smile in our favour tomorrow) I thought hopefully to myself as I shut the door to the crime scene.
