Turnabout Harmony
Scorched
Load Full StoryThe sun, and the moon.
Forever locked in an endless cycle.
"Finally, the time has come"
This cycle keeps balance amongst all
"Hey Cobalt, I'll be right back. I'm gonna go see what's causing the trouble"
The sun, as well as it's warm light and scorching heat, rises at the peaceful dawn"
"Hm? What was that noise"
And the moon, with its silver glow, rises before the restless dusk, dethroning the sun in the sky
"What the! why...
*gasp*
This cycle is infinite, always maintaining itself
Always
"No! Please!"
And if the cycle was ever to stop
*Crack*
The world would fall into disarray and calamity

Maya, I am NOT having this conversation again!
M: But Nick, are conversations are always so much fun
That depends on your definition of "fun"
M: Aww, Nick. Are you saying that I'm not fun?
(No, I'm saying that sometimes you're not fun to be around)
(Play song)
Maya, I don't know if you have these in Kurain Village, but ladders and step-ladders are NOT the same thing!
M: Oh Nick, always so close minded.
(I wouldn't say close minded, I'd say "right")
M: They both have "ladder" in the name, so they're pretty much the same thing.
M: Do you consider sailboats and speedboats to be different as well?
Yes! Because they are!
M: Ya see Nick, that's your problem
M: Always using the definitions of things to define everything you see.
(Of course I do! Since when is that a crime! Or even remotely close to being wrong!)
I...you know what Maya, I give up you're right, they're the same thing.
(This argument would never end if I didn't just give.)
(Although I have a feeling this won't be the last time I'm going to be having this conversation.
M: Yay!
M: I love the taste of victory almost as much as I love the taste of a good burger
(My name is Phoenix Wright. I'm a defense attorney. And it has been a long while since I've been able to say that.)
(I lost my Attorney's Badge in court after unknowingly presenting falsified evidence in a trial a few years back.)
(I recently just got it back, and I've just finished my first case since returning.)
(It's been hard to maintain a living since I lost it. It's through close friends and family that I've been able to get by
(Like Apollo Justice, another attorney that works at my law firm...slash talent agency *sigh* )
(As well as my daughter Trucy, Trucy Wright. A budding magician. She is VERY talented at what she does, even it is just sideshow tricks)
(Although, her true name is Trucy Gramaye, a family of talented and world renowned magicians, similar to herself.)
(So as you might have guessed, she is my adopted daughter. I started taking care of her after her father..."disappeared")
(But now I'm back, and I'm ready for whatever the world has to throw at me!)
M: Ahem! Don't you think you're forgetting somebody!?
(Oh yeah. This is my...assistant of sorts, Maya Fey.)
M: Of sorts!?
(Anyways, she's a spirit medium, and the current master of the Kurain Channeling Technique.)
(This may sound weird, but she actually has the power to call upon the spirits of the dead and have them take over her body.)
(Like I said, it sounds strange, unbelievable even. But it's true. I've seen it with my own eyes.)
(Me and Maya actually use it to keep in touch with someone close.)
M: Oh stop.
(Fine, I was planning to anyway.)
M: Ah. I didn't mean it.
???: Mr. Nick! You shouldn't be arguing with you're special someone.
M: P-Pearl!
(This is Pearl Fey. Maya's younger cousin and fellow spirit medium)
(Pearl also has the spiritual power to perform the Kurain Channeling Technique.)
(In fact, she has even more spiritual power than Maya.)
(However, the Master title is hereditary and Maya's departed mother was chosen over Pearl's mother. This rule has led to too much bloodshed and pain for all of us.)
P: You should be ashamed of yourself!
*slap*
Ow! Pearls!
(Even her slaps are adorable. Even if they do hurt. That's why she has her equally adorable nickname.
M: Oh, Pearl.
(What is SHE smirking at?)
M: Man, those burgers were delicious.
Yeah, our usual joint always does offer high quality stuff.
M: Yeah but tonight was just...
Just what?
M: I don't know, higher quality.
They tasted the same to me.
M: Yeah well you have no sense of taste. I'm the food critic and I say that the food tonight was better and of a higher quality.
Maya, you say that every time
M:Yeah...but this time I know they was different. They probably changed the recipe.
I highly doubt that
M: How do you know?
Because there was a massive banner on the front of the place saying "Come Try Our Burgers. Same Recipe for the Last 15 Years"
M: Oh Nick. They just put that up there to make people think that.
(Why would ANYONE do that?)
Ugh. I'm just glad that this case is over with.
M: Yeah, a murder at a theme park isn't as fun as it sounds.
(A murder at a theme park sounds FUN to you.)
M: I heard that wasn't even the first murder there. Apparently one happened about two years ago.
Oh yeah! Edgeworth told me about a kidnapping case he tackled around two years ago that also involved a murder.
(How has that place not closed yet!)
(You would think that a theme park sponsored by the police force would have a better track record.)
M: Poor Gatewater Land. I used to love that place.
(Speaking of Edgeworth, I haven't seen him in a while. Maybe he's out abroad again.)
(I don't know what prosecutors do with their free time.)
(Stop song)
M: Anyways, I think I'm going to call it a night.
(That's my line.)
P: Yeah, it's way past my bed time. I'm really tired.
M: I'll be taking her back to Kurain Village. Night Nick.
P: Bye Mr. Nick!
Good night.
*sigh*
(I think that I'm have enough credence that I live a strange life)
(Spirit channeling assistants, future predicting stories and witchcraft, magician daughters, ghost mentors, and magic, lie detecting stones.)
(However, after all that stuff I just listed.)
(None of those things are the weirdest thing in my life.)
(I've seen something even more ludicrous than all of that.)
(And that thing...is Equestria)
(Yes, an entirely spate world filled with mythical creatures, magic...)
(And talking ponies.)
(Yes, I know that sounds insane and that i should be sent to an asylum)
(But it's true...all of it)
(And the only evidence I hold that convinces me that it wasn't all a dream...)
(...is a silk hat and a photo.)
*shudders*
(Rainbow Dash...)
I wonder how they're all holding up.
Well, I'm now talking to myself in the middle of the night about talking equines.
(Time to hit the hay.)
(heh...hay)
(Stop song)
Well I'm going to bed.
*Crack*
What in the...!
*Flash*
?????????
June 7, 10:05
(Ugh...wh-what happened)
(All I remember was a bright, colorful flash and then...nothing)
(Where am I? this floor is freezing cold.)
(Argh, my muscles. I can barely move)
(This feels all to familiar)
(What are these voices?)
???: Oh, he's waking up.
???: Are you sure, darling?
???: I, uh think I'm...pretty sure.
???: He, uh, ain't look'n to good.
???: Oh he'll be fine...probably...maybe...most likely.
???: Maybe he's just REALLY tired and is taking a nice long nap
???: Uh...sure sugarcube.
(These voices sound so familiar)
(Where have I heard them before.)
(I still can't move my muscles enough open my eyes)
???: He sure don't look comfortable down there.
???: Do you think that we should...um...help him.
???: Girls, the best thing we can do right now is give Mr. Wright some space.
(Wait, that new voice...)
(Twilight!)
(My muscles are coming to. I think I can open my eyes.)
...
???: Good morning sleepyhead!
Ah!
P-Pinkie Pie!
PP: Oh Feenie! You remembered my name!
(Did you think I would EVER forget that experience!)
(Wh-what is going on.)
PP: Oh! Oh! We should TOTALLY have a "Welcome Back Feenie Party"
???: I don't think now would be a good time for a party Pinkie.
Rainbow Dash?
RD: How is it going Nix? Long time no see.
???: Um..it's good to see you again Mr. Phoenix.
Fluttershy?
F: Eep!
Oh...sorry.
(I forgot how...incredibly timid...she was.)
(With a name like hers, I don't know how I ever forgot.)
???: It's okay sugarcube. He's just...confused, is all
AJ?
A: Howdy Mr. Wright. Good to see you again.
???: Yes. It is quite nice see you again after all his time.
Rarity?
R: It is a pleasure.
(Stop song)
(But where is...)
Phoenix?
Twilight?
Phoenix!
Twilight hugs Phoenix
TS: It's so good to see you again.
I...it's great to see you to.
(Well someone sure is clingy)
Hug breaks up
TS: It's been so long since you've last been here.
Uh...yeah, almost 3 years now.
(It really has been along time, hasn't it.)
(Whether that is a good or bad thing is something I'm still not sure of myself)
TS: Well, we're glad that we were able to meet you again.
(This is just to sudden and weird.)
I guess I should ask the obvious question.)
Uh, Twilight.
TS: Yes?
Why exactly am I...here?
(Is that rude of me to ask?)
TS: Oh
(Stop song)
(Oh?)
TS: I suppose now is a good a time as ever to tell you what happened.
(I knew that saying 'hi' wasn't the reason they pulled me here)
(Regardless, I have a bad feeling about this.)
Tell me what? What happened?
(Why do they all seem so...depressed?)
TS: There has been...an incident.
An incident?
(Oh boy, here it comes.)
TS: Yeah,
TS: a...murder
(Hmph, surprise of the century.)
