Turnabout Princess (Phoenix Wright x MLP)

"I hope you know what you're doing Edgeworth." Phoenix said.

"Hmph. I seem to have everyone's attention. A feat you haven't been to accomplish today." Edgeworth replied. "See, even that gray pegasus with the lazy eye is watching me as I take this turnabout by storm!"

"Of course...you only took over to boost your ego..." Phoenix mumbled.

"Alright, so you say that the prosecution has lied about who they are?" Judge Harshwhinny asked.

"Yes. I know this can't be Manfred Von Karma. See this document says that Manfred Von Karma....died in prison!!!" Edgeworth announced.

"Prosecution! What is the meaning of this?!" Judge Harshwhinny exclaimed, trying to make it seem as if he already didn't know that this was in fact the truth.

"Also...just to sell my point even further, Manfred Von Karma was my mentor...and the Prosecution didn't even attempt to make it seem as if they knew me! They asked who I was! The real Von Karma knows me on a first name basis and would have called me "Miles"!" Edgeworth pressed.

"Prosecution I demand you reveal your truth self to us at once!"

"Fine..." Von Fake hissed. ("But don't blame me if you get your wife back a little battered.")

Green flames engulfed the courtroom as Larvia shed he guise as Manfred Von Karma and appeared before the audience in her true form.

"As I thought the Queen's daughter." Edgeworth said.

"Happy now Mr. Edgeworth?! I don't see what this has to do with the murder case..." Larvia commented.

"I will explain in due time. As horrid a man as he was, the real Manfred Von Karma did teach me how to properly back up my claims!" Edgeworth retorted.

("Why do I feel like me and Mia should be insulted?") Phoenix thought.

"Now. One thing bothers me. How can you take the form of Manfred Von Karma? I thought Changelings had to see a being in person before transforming into them?!" Edgeworth continued.

"Your Honor. I am still the Prosecution. No matter my identity. This is irrelevant to the trial!" Larvia exclaimed.

"Give me a chance! ("I sound like Wright. This is what I get for taking over the Defense...") I am trying to link another case to the current trial!" Edgeworth called.

"I am curious to what Mr. Edgeworth has to say. The Prosecution's Objection has been overruled!" Judge Harshwhinny said.

"Does anyone remember the Break In at the Castle a month ago?" Edgeworth asked.

"I do, pal!" Flash Sentry yelled.

"Does any other pony remember it?" Edgeworth asked again.

"I remember hearing something about it, yes." Judge Harshwhinny answered with a nod.

"Well, this is connected by one hard fact. The only thing taken was a book of Summoning Spells and things of that Nature. So. How is this connected to this case you may ask? Well you saw the result. This Changeling was able to masquerade as the perfect prosecutor, Manfred Von Karma." Edgeworth theorized.

"I still fail to see what my little disguise has to do with this trial." Larvia remarked. "We can discuss my Break In charges later."

"Is that a confession?" Edgeworth asked.

"Yes. I won't hold it back. I stole a Spell Book so I could meet Manfred Von Karma. I even picked up a few Prosecuting lessons." Larvia admitted. "Still irrelevant to the current case."

"Yes Mr. Edgeworth I still fail to see how this is actually relevant to the murder of Prince Shining Armor." Judge Harshwhinny agreed.

"Well lets recall Phoenix Wright's theory." Edgeworth continued. "Now, I think masquerading as the Prosecutor at the trial of the murder you committed and is being blamed on another is a good cover up. Especially if the Defendant was the other pony you were trying to get revenge on. Wouldn't you say so Your Honor?"

"Well. You do seem to have a good back up for your claim." The Judge said. "But!"

"Aghhh! But what?!" Edgeworth exclaimed.

"You are missing one bit of evidence. Mr. Wright's theory hasn't been proved in full yet!" Judge Harshwhinny answered. "He has presented no decisive evidence to prove it as an absolute truth."

"Damn..." Edgeworth said. "Yes, you do have a point, Your Honor."

"Hmm. This trial has been so back and forth that I have forgotten where we left off!" Judge Harshwhinny commented.

"Mr. Edgeworth here was just going to slink off with his tail between his legs." Larvia remarked.

"Please, no personal attacks on the Defense." The Judge said. 'Now the Cross Examination of Queen has not incriminated nor proved innocent Miss. Cadance. But based on facts and evidence, I believe that I can in fact pronounce Princess Mi Amore Cadenza..."

Everyone's heads turned to the door, standing in it was a fully awake and functional Rainbow Dash.

"Nix! I can testify! Let me please give testimony!" she pleaded.

"B-but Rainbow Dash, weren't you...?" Phoenix stammered.

"In a coma?" Trixie asked. "Trixie went to see a healer, and she made a potion that woke her this one up." she added pointing to Dash. "Now. This Witness knows something that was obviously enough for someone to want her silenced. I suggest that the court hears her out!'

"Yes!" the Judge agreed. "I think the court should here this witness out!"

-What I Witnessed-

"So after the trial was ended Yesterday, Mr. Edgeworth told me and my friends about that Von Karma guy was a fake and the real dude had died. So I followed him to confirm this. When I found him, he was talking to you Your Honor! He admitted to having the Crystal Heart and murdering Shining Armor. He also reminded you about having your wife hostage so that you'd give a 'guilty' no matter what! Then I made a mistake and yelled out loud and the Von Karma dude found me. But it wasn't him. It was that Changeling that is sitting where the Prosecutor sits! She then knocked me out and from what I gathered when I woke, I was also thrown into a river.

"Who is going to cross-examine the Witness?" Judge Harshwhinny said, his voice full of fear.

"My role is done here. I have stated my theory. Mr. Wright may take his Defense back." Edgeworth said with a bow.

("Thanks for giving the spotlight back while things are rough...") Phoenix thought.

-What I Witnessed-

"So after the trial was ended Yesterday, Mr. Edgeworth told me and my friends about that Von Karma guy was a fake and the real dude had died. So I followed him to confirm this. When I found him, he was talking to you Your Honor! "

"Rainbow Dash are you sure it was the Judge you saw with Von Karma?" Phoenix asked.

"Yes! It was Judge Harshwhinny!" Dash answered.

"Um, I do believe that..."

"Your Honor." Phoenix said. "Why would the Witness lie about this?!"

"Well she is your friend as well as the Defendant's!" Larvia remarked. "How do we know she was really in the hospital prior to arriving here?"

Just then Trixie threw a folder onto Phoenix's desk.

"That envelope holds all of the Witness' documentation from Ponyville Urgent Care!" Trixie announced.

"Errr!' Larvia gasped.

("I've got you know Changeling girl. Time to blow this case wide open!") Phoenix thought.
