Chapter 1
Note: Italics are Phoenix's thoughts, normal are actual statements
Phoenix and Co. Law Firm, 8:00 pm
Phoenix: This is unusual… I got a call from my client today and I have to meet him on my office on the start of the day. He never said to me the case, but he claims that it was very important. This is the reason why I'm here waiting for him to come. At least my secretary doesn't come and disturb me. She is not the early bird kind of…
(Maya Fey startles Phoenix Wright)
Phoenix: Maya! What made you…
Maya: I have an early flight today! Imagine me winning a free ticket to Moscow! Who wouldn't want to miss it!
Phoenix: Here we go again… Maya, I never remembered you having joined a contest…
Maya: I DO! Well, who knows, I might channel someone there…
Phoenix: That is something I am worried about…
Maya: Anyways, I came here early because my flight is at 10:00 am. Could you take care of Pearly for me?
Phoenix: Alright… she has been helpful in some cases…
(Pearl Fey comes in)
Pearl: Mr. Nick! I promise that I will be behave this time!
Phoenix: Alright…
Maya: I have a flight to catch! See Ya!
(Maya leaves the scene)
Phoenix: She never gets that excited before…
Pearl: Oh the essence of Mr. Nick falling in love with Mystic Maya…
Phoenix: STOP THAT PEARLS!
(A mysterious thick-eyebrowed English man wearing a green suit entered the room)
Phoenix: Who are you?
?: I'm afraid that you must keep this conversation sealed from the outside world.
Phoenix: I don't know but maybe this is a very confidential case… (Phoenix closes the curtain walls and locks the door)
?: Anyways, my name is Arthur Kirkland and I'm the, how should I put it, the head of the court's defense bureau
(Profile added to Court Record)
Arthur Kirkland
Age: ?
A mysterious Englishman who claimed to be a head of the defense court bureau of another country. He acts politely and in a gentleman manner, but not all the time
Arthur: My apology for waking you up this early. I want to hire you with double of your law firm's account just to defend someone.
Phoenix: I'm getting suspicious at this one… Why would you be willing of doing this?
Arthur: Simply because this case must not be known in the public by any ways possible.
Phoenix: Why is that so?
Arthur: You will learn later. Are you going to accept?
Phoenix: I'm not sure…
Pearl: Wow, Mr. Kirkland, what is that green thing flying behind you?
Phoenix: What flying green thing?
Arthur: Oh, you could see him… there are lots of them if you allowed Mr. Lawyer to accept the case
Pearl: (turning at Nick in an angry manner) MR. NICK! Accept this case please! I would tell Mystic Maya that you didn't take care of me properly!
Phoenix: Now, whatever that thing that made Pearl this angry, I have to force myself to accept this case. If not, Maya might kill me on the spot for not taking care of Pearls properly… Alright, I'll accept the case.
Arthur: Good. First of all is to give you a special badge for this case
(Item added to court record)
Special badge
Type: Possessions
A mysterious yellow star-shaped badge given by Arthur. Gives special access in joining this case.
Phoenix: What is this for?
Arthur: This is a very special case and this badge approves that you are a part of this trial. However, since this must be a top-secret one, open the doors and windows and meet me outside of the Law Firm.
Outside the Law Firm 8:12 am
Phoenix: Now, we are now outside…
Pearl: I want to join too!
Arthur: Every kid would want to join there! Just promise me to keep quiet about this.
Phoenix: Arthur, why this secrecy?
Arthur: You'll just see…
Phoenix: After that, Arthur brought out a wand with a star-shaped head and wiggled it in the air. Right after that, I found myself inside a very colorful place…
