Title: Turnabout Justice

Summary: Nighttime. A dark cover that criminals use to hide. A shot rang out, and a cut is delivered. A suspect is caught. But what is, in the end, the real truth?

Disclaimer: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney belongs to Capcom.

Pairing: Probably KlavierApollo; side-pairings to be decided in future.

Warnings: Might contain OOC-ness, AU.

A/N: First time writing for AP:AA, but second for PW:AA. Reason to put both disclaimers is because the story focuses more on AP:AA, but has some characters from PW:AA returning, which you guys probably have an idea of… Anyway, let's get on with it!!

Huff. Huff.

I took a quick look back.

Huff. Huff.

Someone is still chasing me.

Huff. Huff.

No! A… dead end!

Huff. Huff.

What does he want!? He- Argh! My throat! It's… burning! I… gotta get out of here!

Huff. Huff.

I got past him, but where to go?

Bang!

ARRRGHH! Why…?

Turnabout Justice

Prologue

June 19, 8: 36p.m.

People Park

" Someone call the police and the ambulance!"

" Oh my goodness, who did this?"

" Poor boy…"

Klavier stopped his motorbike and addressed the crowd. " Might I ask, what happened?" He asked with a charming smile he normally held.

" Someone's murdered!!" A lady called. Klavier got off his motorbike and made his way through the thick crowd. His face instantly paled, when the bloody sight greeted him.

" Apollo?!" He exclaimed.

The young defense attorney was lying in a pool of blood, and judging by the scene, was his own blood, which seemed to be a little dry. He looked to be shot in his chest, probably near his heart, Klavier told himself, as Apollo was breathing quite heavily, struggling for air. There was also a wound on his throat. Whoever did this was probably intent on killing Apollo. Klavier managed not to curse out loud as the wailing sirens announced the arrival of the police.

" Coming through, please make way! Oh my…" Klavier turned around. " Prosecutor Gavin! What on earth happened!?" The detective cried.

" No time to explain, Apollo's wounds are quite dangerous." Klavier replied as the paramedics rushed to get Apollo onto the stretcher while not further injuring him. " He's cut on his neck, and shot in his chest. Both wounds are good enough to deal death." Klavier quickly explained. He was about to go to his motorbike when the detective pulled him back.

" Wait a minute there. It's probably going to drive you crazy if you go now anyway. I suggest you tell us what happen, or ask some witnesses what they saw." Klavier let out a breath he didn't knew he was holding.

"I happened to pass by, and saw this crowd here." Klavier explained. " Fräulein, I'll leave this place to you, temporarily." Klavier said before disappearing into the distance on his motorbike.

For the first time ever, Klavier was scared. He was afraid that Apollo would die. He knew that he had to tell him. Klavier never wanted to face that man again, yet he still did in the end. He had hated to meet him again with a very bad news too, but something told him that he had to do it.

June 19, 9.02p.m.

Wright Residence

Trucy frowned as she got up from the couch. Phoenix motioned for her to get the door, though he can't help but wonder who was at the door. Trucy opened the door and without noticing who was at it, began talking. " Polly, why are you so– Prosecutor… Gavin?" Trucy asked, confused. Despite his current mood, he flashed his charming smile and asked, " Fräulein, is your father in?" Trucy nodded. " Daddy!" She called.

Phoenix walked over and a frown met his face. He had a feeling that something is wrong. " Mr. Wright… Might I… have a word with you… alone?" Klavier asked. Phoenix nodded and asked Trucy to get back to watching the television.

" Yes, Mr. Gavin?" Klavier frowned once more.

" I'm afraid… there is some bad news. You see… Apollo is in the hospital… in critical condition." Klavier explained. Phoenix straightened up. " Fräulein is working on the scene, and I'm about to head for the hospital." Klavier said.

Phoenix looked over his shoulders. Trucy was looking at them, a worried expression on her face. Phoenix sighed. " Could you give me a ride, Mr. Gavin?" Klavier nodded. He had the intention of doing so, since he came here in the first place. " Trucy, go to bed, okay? You have school tomorrow. Daddy has something to take care of." Phoenix said with a light smile. He closed the door and followed Klavier down. " Might I ask, why did you come?" Phoenix asked. " I… don't understand it either. Something just tells me to come." Phoenix could only smile.

June 19, 9.53p.m.

General Hospital

Accident and Emergency Department

To their surprise, Ema was there waiting for them. " Ema." Phoenix greeted.

" Where's Apollo?" Klavier asked.

" He's still inside… The doctor had said that there was a high chance of him… dieing. They're still working on Apollo." Ema said. Klavier subconsciously clenched his fist, of course with Phoenix noticing them.

" How about the crime scene, Ema?" Phoenix asked. Ema explained what she knew while Phoenix nodded in response.

" No suspect has been caught yet, but the police are working on the witnesses, and the report should come in soon." Ema replied.

Phoenix took another glance at Klavier again. The rock-star prosecutor was been feeling very uneasy since the beginning. Something seems to be bothering him and Phoenix himself had been having a bad feeling about this. Needless did he knew, that it would come that quickly.

" Detective Skye." A man, in shaggy clothes, greeted.

" Detective… Gumshoe?" Phoenix said, surprised.

" Hey pal! Haven't seen you in a while." Detective Gumshoe said.

" What is it, Detective? Have you gotten the suspect?" Klavier asked. Gumshoe winced. Phoenix stood up.

" You… mean…?" Phoenix asked. Gumshoe nodded slowly.

" Who is it, Mr. Wright?" Ema asked.

" There's a witness… saying the person… was Prosecutor… Gavin."

A/N: The return of old Gumshoe!! And a cliff-hanger – which I haven't done in a long time. So rock-star Prosecutor Klavier Gavin is suspected for the assault of Apollo? Looks like it's time for some reappearances of some characters in the next chapter then. And yes, I apologize for the short prologue… But it is a prologue, right? I'll appreciate reviews, considering this to be my first AJ:AA fic.

Edit on 8th April: Due to many reviewers telling me so, I have edited this chapter – which is quite obvious: I separated the speeches. I used to do that, but I felt that it was too long. So that's why it's in paragraph.

Thanks for the review so far, and the second chapter is posted with this edit.
