"I need to go talk to Cadance about our theory." Phoenix said getting out of his chair.

"I'll come too!" Twilight called after him.

"No Twilight. You need to stay here with Rainbow Dash." Phoenix replied dismissing her. "It'll only take a few minutes."

"What Mr. Wrong! We have some more evidence to back up our claim!" Trixie called running up the hall.

"Oh? That's defiantly some perfect timing." Phoenix remarked. "Hey, where's Edgeworth?"

"Mr. Edgeless decided to study more on Changlings." Trixie said.

"Huh? I thought we had some pretty solid evidence!" Phoenix exclaimed.

"There's one little problem..." Trixie said.

"And what's that?!" Phoenix asked.

"Changlings usually can only transform into beings they've seen in  person. So...even if Queen Chrysalis had seen a picture of this Von Karma... she wouldn't be able to transform into him." Trixie answered.

"Whaaaaa?" Phoenix was taken aback. "B-but she's seen the Defendant right?"

"Yes." Trixie answered.

"Well at least our whole theory isn't wrong." Phoenix said. "I hope Edgeworth finds out who is impersonating Von Karma then, and how."

"Changelings can only transform into an animal or living creature that they've seen personally." Edgeworth read. "Darn...that can't be Manfred Von Karma! But if it isn't Queen Chrysalis...then who?"

"Have you found anything of value, Mr. Edgeworth?" Princess Luna asked. ("I can't believe it! I've gotten to speak with Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth! It's a Gamer Mare's dream come true!")

"No. I haven't." Edgeworth replied. "I can't figure out who is impersonating Von Karma, and how they're doing it."

"Hmmm. Well you said you originally thought it was Queen Chrysalis, right?" Luna asked.

"Yes. But where and how could she have seen Von Karma in person?" Edgeworth replied.

"Maybe it has to do with the break in a month ago..." Luna pondered.

"Break in?" Edgeworth repeated.

"Yes. There was a break in last month. The criminal was never found and the investigation was put on hold due to the murder.' Luna answered.

"Did they take anything?" Edgeworth pressed.

"Yes. An old spell book." Luna replied. "Changelings can use magic too. And if they used their ability to cloak themselves as a Royal Guard it would be easy to get into the Spell Archive."

"Hmm. Maybe we should investigate this Spell Archive, if that's OK with you Your Highness." Edgeworth said taking a bow.

"Of course. I'll accompany you." Luna answered. ("I can't believe I'm on an actual investigation with Miles Edgeworth!")

"Hello Phoenix." Cadance said as Phoenix took his seat in front of her.

"Hey. So I'm going to skip to the chase. We know the real murderer." Phoenix said.

"Oh?" Cadance said. "Who is it?"

"It's Queen Chrysalis. I'm sure you remember her." Phoenix answered.

"I-I do. I should have known." Cadance agreed.

"Edgeworth also found proof that Shining Armor had the Crystal Heart on his person at the Royal Meeting." Phoenix said hading her the letter.

Cadance read the letter Shining Armor had left for her in the book. And as she went on the more thing cleared up for her.

"I-I should have known..." she gasped. "All of this could have been prevented!"

"Well, It's too late for that. But, I know all I can do is stay by your defense till the end!" Phoenix announced.

"Thank You...Phoenix Wright." Cadance replied.

"Well here it is Mr. Edgeworth." Luna said as they walked into a door to a room filled with countless scrolls and books.

"Wait, do you hear that?" Edgeworth commented as he heard a small rustling in a pile of knocked over parchment. "Who's there?!"

"O-Oh sorry..."

As Edgeworth called out to the noise, a black pegasus with a blue, sleeveless sweater stood up out off the parchment mess. Upon further observation, Edgeworth saw that the pegasus also had a golden yellow mane and wore a steel shoulder pad on his right fore-hoof.

"I was investigating this room to see if I could find evidence to clear Princess Cadance's name." he told Edgeworth.

"What a coincidence, so are we." Edgeworth replied. "And you are?"

"I'm Starseeker." the pegasus answered. "I'm a First Class Soldier, in the Royal Guard. I also go in between the Crystal Empire and Canterlot. Kinda like a representative."

"Mhmm. So that's why you're trying to clear Princess Cadance's name, so that there isn't any tension between the two cities. Right nephew?" Luna asked.

"Yes, Aunt Luna." Starseeker replied.

"So you're related?" Edgeworth asked.

"Yes." Luna answered.

"Can I please join your investigation Aunt Luna?" Starseeker asked.

"Yes. That's ok, right Mr. Edgeworth?" Luna asked.

"Of course." Edgeworth said. "He can start by telling us about what he found."

"You do realize I will call you out when Princess Cadance's attorney proves that I couldn't have done it!" Chrysalis yelled at her daughter.

"Oh? You won't play along and watch her as she's taken away to rot in prison. Then afterwords we can take over the Crystal Empire." Larvia asked.

"What?!" Chrysalis was shocked at her child's offer. "Take over the Empire?"

"That's right." Larvia answered. "I have the Crystal Heart. Think of all the Love we could feed off of. Face it, you know that you love this plan Mother."

"You're right. This is too good of an offer to pass up." Chrysalis agreed. "I never thought I'd have to make a deal with my own daughter. But you are an evil genius. Revenge, Immortality, and a whole new land to take over. Brilliant."

"Oh, I see." Starseeker said. "You think that the Break In a month ago is connected to the murder case!"

"Yes." Edgeworth answered. "But how so Princess?" he added to Luna.

"Well as I said before. Changelings can use magic just like Unicorns and Alicorns. So, I believe that Queen Chrysalis stole the Spell book so she could use a spell to either, summon Manfred Von Karma here before he died. Or, she went to visit him." Luna theorized.

"Well, seeing that me and Wright are here...that isn't a that far fetched." Edgeworth said scratching his chin. ("Could she have killed Von Karma too. To keep him quite about seeing her?")

"How's Rainbow Dash?" Phoenix asked walking into her room.

"She's been stirring in her sleep occasionally." Twilight answered. "All the others went home."

"Oh, hows that going?" Phoenix commented.

"Well she mostly just tosses and turns. But earlier she was calling for you. She said "Yo Nix...I need to tell you about an important piece of evidence." Twilight answered.

Phoenix keeled down next to Dash's bed and whispered in her ear.

"What is it Rainbow Dash, what do you need to tell me?"

Rainbow Dash started to toss and turn again. She did this for a minute then layed still again.

"They have a hostage...Trial is rigged...not Von Karma..." Dash said aloud.
