Turnabout Princess (Phoenix Wright x MLP)

"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.

"And from what Trixie has told me, this Queen Chrysalis has a clear motive to commit this crime!" Edgeworth announced pointing out his finger.

It all fell into place to Twilight now.

"Phoenix!" she called.

"Yea Twilight. What is it?" Phoenix replied.

"The "Important Business" that one guard testified about. It was a Royal Gathering of Equestrian Leaders. Queen Chrysalis and her daughter were there!" Twilight answered.

"W-What!? Now that I think of it Twilight. Isn't this all stuff you should've known from the beginning?" Phoenix asked.

"Well, I guess I too was so sure that Cadance had done it, that I thought the Queen being in Canterlot was irreverent." Twilight guiltily.

"Well it's OK now. Edgeworth, you and Trixie need to fill out the papers to call this Queen Chrysalis to the stand tomorrow. I'll take the others to see Rainbow Dash." Phoenix said.

"Whatever Wright." Edgeworth remarked. "The sooner this case is over, the sooner I get home. Come on you."

"You will NOT refer to me as anything but The Great and Powerful Trixie!" Trixie replied.

"Shut up. I already said I wasn't going to call you that." Edgeworth said as he and Trixie walked off to the Court House.

"So, I want to know. Where did you go those 30 mins you were missing from the meeting?" Chrysalis asked a younger Changeling. "As a matter a fact where were you earlier today?"

"I don't know what you mean Mother." The child said.

"Well, then explain this Court Summons I just got." Chrysalis replied. "I'm to testify in a murder case I'm suspect in."

"I did it." the Child said.

"What?!" Chrysalis was taken aback.

"I killed the Prince of The Crystal Empire and am going to successfully frame his precious Cadance as the murderer." her daughter answered. "And when that happens, I'll have restored your honor and gotten revenge for what they did to you!"

"I should report you! I told you that I didn't want any trouble with those damn ponies!" Chrysalis yelled.

"Not to worry. I have the Judge bought. If he even dares to hint that he's going to lay down a 'Not Guilty' verdict, I'll have his wife executed on the spot!"

"Larvia, I do think you've become insane with ambition!" Chrysalis said.

"Oh don't worry Mother. To answer where I was earlier." Larvia put on her guise of Von Karma. "I'm the Prosecutor!"

Ponyville Urgent Care

5:05 p.m.

"Oh Thank Celestia you guys came." Aj said as the others came in the door to Dash's room.

"I had Trixie and Edgeworth continue the investigation so we could visit." Phoenix remarked. "How is she?"

"Not too good." Nurse Redheart answered. "She'll live yes. But even if she were to wake up anytime soon. She could very well be paralyzed from the shoulders down."

"Oh no...all because she wanted to help with the investigation..." Twilight said.

"It's OK Twilight. You heard the Nurse, Dashie will live." Pinkie said.

"But she's still in critical condition!" Twilight sobbed. "She..."

Phoenix put his hand on Twilight's shoulder.

"It'll be OK...we just need to keep on...and believe that she'll be fine..." Phoenix said.

"Mr. Phoenix are you crying?" Fluttershy asked.

"N-no! I'm just...umm water got in my eyes when I dived to look for her earlier!" Phoenix replied.

"It's OK Feenie! Dashie is your friend too." Pinkie said.

"Yea...she is..." Phoenix agreed. ("Why do I feel this is my fault?")

Canterlot

June 11

5:10 p.m.

"Now with that filed we can call this Queen Chrysalis up to the stand." Edgeworth said. "But to find out how to piece this case together I need to do more."

"What do you mean!? Trixie has given you what you need!" Trixie said.

"Not quite!" Edgeworth remarked. "Now watch as I show you a trick of my own. I'm going to use Logic to put the fragments we have into place!"

"Lets see here." Edgeworth started. "We know:

1.) That Chrysalis tried to invade Canterlot and was foiled by the Defendant and the Victim.

2.) Was Using the Crystal Heart as ransom not to attack The Crystal Empire and spare the Victim and Defendant's lives.

3.) She was here on the night of the murder because of the Meeting of Royalty in Canterlot.

4.) The Defendant had no knowledge of the ransom because the Victim hid the letters from her.

and

5.) She is a Changling, meaning she can become whoever she wants."

"That's it!" Edgeworth exclaimed. "I've figured out most of it!"

"Most?" Trixie asked.

"Yes. Here's what happened. The Victim and The Defendant defeated Queen Chrysalis a few years back. So being in the position she was in she probably lost the support of her subjects. So knowing that the two ponies who caused her downfall would be at the Royal Meeting in Canterlot she decided she'd go as well. But first she had to get them to acknowledge her. So, starting even as early as a month from the meeting, the Queen started sending demanding notes to the Victim saying she wanted the Crystal Heart on the Night of the meeting or she'd level out the Crystal Empire. But, even if they did comply, she was going to kill them after getting what she wanted. But, the Victim was hiding the Letters from the Defendant. So to save his people and wife he took the Crystal Heart when he and the Defendant left for the Meeting. During a recess in the Meeting, the Victim went to meet with Chrysalis. Chrysalis was surprised that the Defendant didn't come as well. Fearing what the Queen would do with the Crystal Heart the Victim brandished his spear as a last defense. But the Queen used her magic to take the spear and kill him. Knowing that there'd probably be witnesses she took the form of the Defendant to leave evidence that it was the Defendant who killed him. In example the hoof prints and she even got a few witnesses to think she was in fact the Defendant. Ergo, the only one who could have done this is Queen Chrysalis! But there is one problem." Edgeworth explained.

"What is that?" Trixie said exasperated.

"Why would she want the Crystal Heart?" Edgeworth pondered.

"Well duh! Do I have to tell you everything Mr.Edgeless?!" Trixie asked. "It's because the Changelings feed off of love! If she had the Crystal Heart she could rule the Crystal Empire, and as long the ponies in the Empire stay happy. They would power the Crystal Heart with Love and the Changelings could maybe even live forever!"

"Forever, eh?" Edgeworth questioned. ("Why go though these lengths for just immortality and revenge?") "Well Mrs. Trixie we must get this new info to Wright."

"OK then, lets go find Mr.Wrong and give him the details." Trixie agreed.
