Phoenix Wright: Lawyer In Equestria

Discord closed his eyes and began to think. As Phoenix and Von Karma argued.

"There is no need to bring him to the stand.", Von Karma calmly stated.

"You can't prove that!", Phoenix challenged Von Karma.

"But you can't prove that he needs to be on the stand. He's already been questioned."

"Your Honor, this man, er, stallion, could very well be the murderer!", Phoenix practically yelled.

The entire jury gasped, but Von Karma facepalmed.

"Mr.Wright, this is exactly like you, you haven't changed since we last met years ago. You grasp at straws and the moment you see an opportunity to blow the court off of it's feet, you take it. Equestria thrives off of ORDER, Mr.Wright, and if you have no proof to back up your claims, then all you are causing is CHAOS.", He spoke in a calm tone.

This is it, time to put Von Karma in his place!, Phoenix thought before speaking.

"I have proof, Mr. Von Karma."

Von Karma merely laughed.

"Then show it.", he said before Phoenix showed him a bloody credit card.

"Look at the name on this card.", Phoenix said.

"It's covered in blood. Your point?", Von Karma asked.

"All except for a letter F.", Phoenix declared before shouting. "Your Honor, IS THERE AN "F" IN TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"

Discord was still lost in thought, until Fluttershy, who was sitting in the jury, was spotted by him.

"Fluttershy, my main mare! What do you think of all this, the judge gives you special permission to add your input.", Discord smiled upon seeing his friend.

"I-I agree with Phoenix.", Fluttershy stuttered before running out of the room with Pinkie chasing her.

"Then I will prolong this trial until tommorow. Mr. Wright will cross examine Mr.Rich.", Discord slammed his... Mjolnir, down, leaving everyone in the court wondering why he didn't just settle for a normal gavel.

Phoenix walked to Filthy Rich's mansion along with Applejack, whom, if he heard correct, could get the truth out of anybody.

Security wasn't easy to get past though, it felt like an eternity.

"So Mr.Wright. Do you have an appointment or not?", the security guard asked.

"No. For the umpteenth time, I'm a lawyer investigating an ambassador's death, and I have a right by law to be here due to your boss, Filthy Rich being a suspect!", Phoenix told him.

"Then beat it! unless your a VIP, or have an appointment, I can't let you in!"

"Did somepony say VIP?", Applejack asked, the guard noticed her. "The crime took place at Sweet Apple Acres, I decided to accompany, Mr.Wright because of this."

"Go right in, Ms.Apple."

A grand looking pony with a hairstyle similar to Phoenix walked into the meeting room.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Rich.", Phoenix Wright greeted the man, Remembering previous encounters with rich people, Matt Engarde, Redd White, Furio Tigre.

"Same to you, Mr. Wright. What did you want to talk about?", Filthy put a suspicious look on his face.

"The murder of Ambassador Lulamoon.", Phoenix replied, looking him in the eye.

"Why are you questioning me? Am I the newly accused? You wish to defend me?",

"No, but I'd be getting a lawyer, sir. I recently found you to be the prime suspect. But relax, all you are is a suspect."

"Mr... Wrong, was it? Why am I getting accused, I have absolutely no motive."

"He's lying.", Applejack whispered in Phoenix's ear.

""How can you tell?", Phoenix whispered back.

"Because he's trying to sound calm, however someone in this situation wouldn't be calm at all.".

Then it hit Phoenix.

I left my Magatama back home, but apparently the Element of Honesty works like one.

"Okay, Mr.Rich, you win, regardless, I'd still like you to testify, and the judge has requested that you do.", Phoenix explained.

"You got ME to testify!? Impossible! A mere lawyer shouldn't have that kind of power over ME!"

"Why are you so worried? It's not like you're the murderer or anything."

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! YOU HAVE NO POWER TO MAKE ME TESTIFY! "

Wow, this one broke down before he even testified!, Phoenix thought, triumphant.

Applejack and Phoenix looked at eachother.

"What's the penalty for refusing to testify against a judge's request?", Applejack asked Phoenix.

"Contempt of Court and prison until they do.", Phoenix replied.

Filthy let out a blood curdling scream. Security busted in, only to see Filthy was fine.

"Well played, Mr.Wrong.", Filthy panted. "But even if I testify, it's just going to be a repeat of my questioning."

"We'll see.", Phoenix said as him and Applejack left the room.
