Turnabout Princess (Phoenix Wright x MLP)
CH4: A Great and Powerful Testimony!
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"T-Trixie?!" Phoenix and Twillight were caught off guard. Neither had expected Trixie to testify in this case.
("Wait!") "Your Honor, That was kind of quick to be handing down a verdict!" Phoenix exclaimed. "This case is too deep to be giving a verdict this early!"
"Oh...ummm. I guess I got a bit excited. Yea, I'm sorry Mr.Wright. That was very unprofessional of me." The Judge replied.
*EHEMM* "Trixie came to testify, not listen to Mr.Wrong and the Judge have a conversation!" Trixie interupted.
"S-sorry..." Phoenix said.
"DON'T BE!" Rainbow Dash yelled.
"Anyway the Witness is right. She may Begin her testimony." Judge Harshwhinny said.
"After she states her name and occupation!" Von Karma added.
"The Great and Powerful Trixie is a Traveling Magician!" Trixie said.
"More like a one trick pony!" Dash called out.
"The Audiance will be removed if they continue to yell out like that!" Judge Harshwhinny remarked.
"Rainbow Dash, Stop it!" Rarity said.
"Ok. Now you may begin your testimony." The Judge continued.
-I Saw The Attack-
"Well I am a Traveling Magician, but I live in Canterlot. Trixie was returning home from a trip when she heard a comotion in the Castle Garden. She decided to easedrop, because She was curious. What Trixie saw was the Suspect and the Victim. The Vicitm was holding his spear to defend himself and the Defendant took it with her magic and killed him. Here, Trixie took pictures."
The pictures showed Cadance and Shining Armor in the Garden, the first was them just standing there. The second showed the moment of the attack.
"The Court accepts this very decivie evidence. Either way, Mr. Wright, do you wish to Cross Examine the Witness?" The Judge asked.
"Yes Your Honor!" Phoenix answered. ("I knew Trixie wasn't here to HELP me...")
"Well I am a Traveling Magician, but I live in Canterlot. Trixie was returning home from a trip when she heard a comotion in the Castle Garden. She decided to easedrop, because She was curious. What Trixie saw was the Suspect and the Victim. The Vicitm was holding his spear to defend himself and the Defendant took it with her magic and killed him. Here, Trixie took pictures."
"Why stop?" Phoenix asked.
"Because, Trixie wanted to see what was happening. Why else Mr.Wrong?"
"No relevance!" Von Karma said.
"Sustained." The Judge agreed.
"Well I am a Traveling Magician, but I live in Canterlot. Trixie was returning home from a trip when she heard a comotion in the Castle Garden. She decided to easedrop, because She was curious. What Trixie saw was the Suspect and the Victim. The Vicitm was holding his spear to defend himself and the Defendant took it with her magic and killed him. Here, Trixie took pictures."
"Your Honor, my Client couldn't have been there!" Phoenix yelled slamming his desk.
"How so Mr.Wrong? Trixie has pictures!" Trixie said.
"Easy, it's not my Client in the pictures and I'll prove it!" Phoenix replied pointing out his finger.
"Please show me what in the picture tells you this isn't you Client, Mr.Wright." The Judge said.
"The eyes!" Phoenix announced!
"What about them?" The Judge asked.
"They're green." Phoenix continued.
"SO?!" Trixie asked.
"MY CLIENT'S EYES ARE PURPLE!!!" Phoenix yelled.
Trxie withdrew, "WHHHHAAAAT?!"
"Order! I will have Order!" The Judge said. "I do believe Mr. Wright is 'wright'."
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" Everyone else but Phoenix yelled.
"That is the Defendant!" Von Karma yelled.
"How so?" Phoenix asked confidently.
"Tsk. Tsk." Von Karma shook his finger. "She used her magic to change her eye color!"
"WHHHHAAAA?" Phoenix hadn't taken this into consiteration. The Judge obviously hadn't either as he too was dumbstruck.
"Yes! The Defendant is an Alicorn, therefore she would have the magic ability to do so!" Von Karma replied. "So anticipating that little Twilight Sparkle would call on Phoenix Wright to save her precious Princess Cadance, she changed her eye color to give Mr. Wright a contradiction to use!"
"ORDER! ORDER!" Judge Harshwhinny said. "Why I do believe that is a liable theory!"
"I AM CONVINCED THAT IS NOT MY CLIENT!" Phoenix yelled. "I request another day to investigate!"
"I will give you your request. Any Objections, Mr.Von Karma?" The Judge said.
"No.Because it is futile. Go ahead and give Mr.Wright his precious day. I'll still get my Guilty verdict." Von Karma answered.
"Then Court is adjourned until tomorrow!"
As the Court emptied Edgeworth couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this case that met the eye.
("Wait, I knew something was bugging me. That has to be it..." Edgeworth thought.)
"What's wrong Edgy?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Don't call me that..." Edgeworth replied. ("Am I really going to talk to these things instead of waiting on Wright?")
"What are you thinking Mr. Edgeworth? Is it something that can help Princess Cadance?" Rarity asked.
("I guess I am since Wright is taking his sweet ass time...") "The Prosecutor is dead." Edgeworth answered.
"Huh? Hey I hate that guy too. But..."
"No you dolt. I mean he can't be here. Because in the world me and Wright come from, Manfred Von Karma died in prison after Wright reveled him to be the murderer in the DL-6 incident. Don't ask about it it's a long story." Edgeworth explained.
"But if that's so, who's that guy?" Rarity asked.
"I don't know..." Edgeworth replied.
"Well Imma find out!" Rainbow Dash said as she bolted out to follow Von Karma.
"What! It could be dangerous!" Edgeworth called.
"She's gone." Rarity remarked. "Should we follow her?"
"No. It'll be her fault if she get's in trouble." Edgeworth answered with a shrug. "Let's go find Wright."
"But...oh...Pinkie go follow...She's gone too..." Rarity said. "Oh Mr. Edgeworth wait for me!"

"That was some sloppy work Your Honor." Von Karma said as he met Judge Harshwhinny outside the court.
"I-I'm sorry sir. But if that Trixie hadn't intervened, Phoenix Wright would have still Objected, and brought up the missing Crystal Heart!" Judge Harshwhinny replied.
"Hmhmhm. It doesn't matter anyway. I hold all the cards. Your wife and the Crystal Heart." Von Karma commented.
"W-wait you have the Heart?!" Judge Harshwhinny was taken aback. "Which means...YOU'RE THE MURDERER?!"
"Why of course. Why do you think I went though the lengths to mimic the perfect prosecutor, and bribe you with you wife's life?" The imposter answered.
"Wait you're not Manfred Von Karma either?" the Judge asked.
"Oh no. You found out my secret." The phony said as his eyes turned green and snake-like. "But I knew that Twilight sparkle would try to get Phoenix Wright to save poor old Cadance and stop me from getting my revenge on her. So I decided to take the form of somebody that would intimidate him." The figure replied as it was consumed by green flames.
"HA! I heard it all!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed jumping out from around the corner. "I gotta tell Nix and Princess Celestia!"
"Oh you're not going anywhere little filly." The Von Karma impersonator said as the door shut behind Dash.
"H-hey not cool!" Dash said.
"Oh You don't have to worry about 'cool' from a bit." "Von Karma" replied knocking Dash out by smacking her neck. "Now I shall be on my way."

"Hey Wright we need to talk." Edgeworth said.
"Oh, Edgeworth. There you guys are? Where's Pinkie and Rainbow Dash?" Phoenix asked.
"Well the pink one just kinda ran off." Edgeworth answered. "Actually a couple of the things I need to say are about this 'Rainbow Dash'."
"Ummm, OK. Shoot." Phoenix replied.
"One: Is she the pony from those pictures Maya found in your pocket when you returned last time?"
"WHHHHHAAAAAAAA?!" Rarity, Aj, and Fluttershy yelled in unison.
"PHOENIX! YOU TOOK THOSE PICTURES OF RAINBOW DASH WITH YOU!" Twilight exclaimed.
"H-HEY! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!" Phoenix replied. "I JUST NEVER DROPPED OFF ANY OF THE EVIDENCE I FOUND AND THE PICTURES WHERE MIXED UP WITH IT!"
"Oh it's OK Wright." Edgeworth said. "Everyone has skeletons in their closet. But like I said that day, yours just happen to be a disturbing pony fetish."
"OK...you can stop now...do you have any questions WORTH asking?!" Phoenix asked.
"Oh yes. What if I told you that you're not really facing Manfred Von Karma?" Edgeworth replied.
"What?!" Phoenix was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"Well think about it Wright...Von Karma DIED in prison." Edgeworth answered.
"T-then whose..." Twilight stammered.
"I don't know, but Rainbow Dash went out to pursue them." Edgeworth answered.
"WHAT?! We need to find her!!!" Twilight yelled.

"Dump this loser in the river."
"Yes my Queen."
"Good, now no one can warn Phoenix Wright and my revenge on Princess Cadance can come true. And now Twilight Sparkle has lost two ponies she loves."
"But my liege, she's not dead."
"THAT'S WHY YOU'RE GOING TO THROW HER INTO THE RIVER! SHE'LL BE SWEPT AWAY AND DROWN!
"Y-Yes ma'am!"
"Bye Bye. Rainbow Dash."
