Turnabout Princess (Phoenix Wright x MLP)

?????

June 11

2:45 p.m.

("Am I...Am I going to die?" Rainbow Dash thought. "The last thing I remember is being knocked out. My subcontious has returned. But I am not able to wake up. Does this mean Death is here? Has he found me? I feel as if I had something to report, but when I was thrown into the water, my head hit a rock and I can't remember what is was or to who it was for. So, I guess I should just embrace Death seeing that I have no purpose.")

"Oh no this isn't good!" Twilight yelled.

"We need to start looking for her!" Applejack exclaimed.

"Yes. I guess we could put off the investigation that could save your Princess." Edgeworth said shrugging his shoulders. "Cause if we don't that would mean that Rainbow Dash might die. If she isn't dead already."

"Edgeworth!" Phoenix exclaimed. "What the Hell?!"

"Think about it Wright, it's a catch 22. If you Investigate the Case, you risk Rainbow Dash's life. But, if you look for Rainbow Dash...YOU'LL LOSE MAYBE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO PROVE YOUR CLIENT INNOCENT!" Edgeworth answered pointing his finger.

("DAMN! HE'S RIGHT!!!" Phoenix realized.) Looking for Rainbow Dash could take hours. Which means he could lose anytime he'd use to investigate.

"WAIT! Couldn't we split up?" Pinkie asked.

"W-Where did...?" Edgeworth was taken back by Pinkie's sudden entry.

"Just Pinkie being Pinkie." Phoenix remarked. "And yes I suppose we could split up. Twilight, Take Edgeworth and Investigate. Me and the others will look for Rainbow Dash."

"Wait, why should I do your work for you?" Edgeworth challenged.

"And why can't I go with my friends?" Twilight asked.

"I this part of your fetish Wright? Trying to get more pictures?" Edgeworth stabbed.

"NO!!!" Phoenix answered. "And it's simple. Edgeworth I want you to investigate so you can try and prove your hypothesis on Von Karma's identity. And Twilight you're the only one of us that knows how to get around Canterlot!"

"Not exactly." said a voice.

"Trixie!? What do you want?!" Aj asked.

"Trixie is offering to help Mr. Edgeworth get around Canterlot so that Twilight can go with her friends." Trixie answered.

"What's the catch?!" Aj pressed. "You just testified against us!"

"No catch. Trixie just owes Mr. Wrong a favor." Trixie said.

"Huh?!" Phoenix was confused, he didn't remember doing anything to help Trixie.

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked.

"Trixie doesn't have to tell you anything! Now do you want Trixie's help or not?!" Trixie answered.

"Well this seems like our only chance." Phoenix said.

"You're right Phoenix. Ok. Go ahead Trixie, take Edgeworth to Canterlot and help him investigate." Twilight agreed.

"Rainbow Dash!"

"Dashie!"

"R-Rainbow Dash!"

"Dash!"

"Hey! Rainbow!"

("Who is that, could it be, my friends? I wish I could call back to them...but I'm still asleep..." Rainbow thought, still flowing down the river.)

"Hey you hear that?" Phoenix asked.

"What?" Twilight replied.

"Running Water!" Phoenix answered. "Is there a river nearby?"

"Well yea. The Ponyville Dam is just... You're not saying!" Twilight remarked.

"Let's just hope I'm wrong!!!" Phoenix replied running toward the sound, the others following him hasty.

3:30 p.m.

"So...ummm...Trixie was it?" Edgeworth asked.

"That's The Great and Powerful Trixie to you Mr. Edgeless." Trixie answered.

"It's Edgeworth. And I hope you know I'm not going to call you that." Edgeworth remaked.

"Whatever Mr. Edgeless. Anyway Trixie thinks the best place to check first would be Cadance's room at the Castle." Trixie huffed.

("Whatever is exactly the word I was thinking.") "Well lead the way Miss. Trixie." Edgeworth said.

3:45 p.m.

"Alright everyone start looking in the water!" Phoenix exclaimed. He knew there was no time too lose. If he was really right about what he thought had happened to Rainbow Dash. Then it could be in mere minutes that they could lose her for good. Being human, Phoenix also knew that he could dive underwater to look. He wasn't too sure about the others' swimming abilities. Phoenix took his blue suit jacket off so it wouldn't get wet, and dove face first into the river basin. Phoenix look all around until he had to surface to take a breath.

"Did you see her Phoenix?" Twilight asked.

"No. Sorry Twilight." Phoenix answered. "Maybe, thank the princess. I'm wrong for once." But just as Phoenix and Twilight had thought that Rainbow Dash couldn't be here, Fluttershy screamed.

"W-we found her..." Applejack said.

Cadance's Room

June 11

4:00 p.m.

"Well let's see here." Edgeworth said. "Do you know anything about this room?"

"Why would Trixie know anything about this room?" Trixie asked.

"I don't know. I guess I thought you were like the royal fool or something since you were dressed like that." Edgeworth replied.

"How dare you make a mockery of the Great and Powerful Trixie!?" Trixie yelled. "Did you hear Trixie's testimony?! I am a traveling magician!"

"Either way, it seems you were more useless than I thought." Edgeworth shot back. But, when he outstretched his hand, Edgeworth knocked over a book on the shelf and a letter fell out. Edgeworth picked it up and read it.

"Cadance,

If I don't hand the Crystal Heart over the Her, she is going to invade the Kingdom and take it anyway. Besides, she said she'd spare us if we gave it over willingly. I brought the Heart with me and I am going to meet her later tonight. Hopefully either I can get her to leave us alone. But in a worse case, I will have to hand over the Crystal Heart to save us both and our subjects.

-Shining Armor."

"Well that answers some questions...but makes more at the same time..." Edgeworth said examining the note.

"Changelings." Trixie blurted out.

"Excuse me?" Edgeworth asked.

"Changelings. You said that the Prosecutor was dead right?" Trixie continued. "The Princess and her Husband had a run in with the Changeling Queen a couple years ago."

"OK." Edgeworth acknowledged. "But what does that have to do with Von Karma?"

"Simple." Trixie answered. "They can change their shape to match anyone they've seen."

4:17 p.m.

"Is-Is Dashie..?" Pinkie stammered.

"Dead?" Phoenix asked. "I don't know. Hand her here." Aj took Dash's seemingly lifeless body off her back and placed her in Phoenix's arms. He placed his fingers on the side of Dash's neck.

("Who's touching me?" Dash thought. "Maybe it's the cold touch of Death's Bone's taking my soul away.")

In real life Dash's body shivered but she did not wake up.

("Ooops. My fingers must be dead cold.") "Well guys, the good news is she has a pulse." Phoenix said getting up. "But the bad news is she could still die if we don't get her to a hospital soon."

"Alright! Put her back on my back and I'll have her there in no time! You guys go catch up with that windbag Trixie and Mr. Edgeworth!" Aj announced.

"Alright. Her life is in your hooves Applejack." Phoenix said, doing as she said.

Canterlot

June 11

4:30 p.m.

"Heya Edgeworth, find anything?" Phoenix asked.

"Oh it's you Wright." Edgeworth said. "Here I found this note in the room."

(Phoenix reads the letter.) "Well that's very good! See I knew I could trust you to do a good job!" Phoenix said. "But what about Von Karma? Is it him?"

"That's what I'm going to find out now. I take it you found Rainbow Dash alive?" Edgeworth replied.

"Yea. But she's out cold." Phoenix answered. "So what is the key to finding out who Von Karma really is?"

"We're going to study Changelings." Edgeworth remarked.

"Oh no. You don't mean?" Twilight asked.

"Oh yes, we mean it has to be old Queen Chrysalis up to no good!" Trixie answered.
