Hi guys, it`s my very first crossover, and I`m pretty sure this one has a complex background plot, so you better read well and take notes, or else you`ll get lost on the ton of details. As you must have discovered, it is a story mixing up Mario and Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney. Since it is my very first crossover, I don`t know if it will be good. also dunno if you`ll like because you will need brains in many parts of it.
While I`m at the beginning of that story... I doné`t own Mario or Phoenix Wright, but it would be so damn cool if I did.
Chapter 1: Yoshi! What happened?
It was a bad day for the forever happy Yoshi. Today he has had every problem one could think of. First of all his eggs were stolen by an obnoxious human, then someone seen frequently tries finding them, and then this. Yoshi looked at what had hit his heart. But he couldn`t as he fell on the floor, bleeding from an hemorrhage caused by that javelin that came from nowhere. Nobody could see him dying, and there was no 1-Up Mushroom around.
***
Only thirty minutes later, Mario, Peach, Bowser and Tatanga were around Yoshi, but the poor green dinosaur was already dead. Mario put out the javelin.
"Oh no, the blood has fully covered the spear. We can`t see any seal…"
"What?" Peach asked.
"Well, remember what we saw earlier, the weapons all had the Bowser face seal."
"So that`s what you meant? What a pesky plumber…" Bowser answered. "Always messing up with my things. Can you give me a break for once?"
"Hey, what am I doing here?" Tatanga asked. "I never should have left my Entrakingdomian cage at theCreep Show in the fair…"
"Shut up, Tatanga!" Bowser screamed. "I know you stole something from me, the brand new weapon I bought at the shop."
"Which new weapon?" Mario asks.
"None of your business, Pasta Plumber Eater. Where is it, Outerspacian?"
"How did you call me?" Tatanga yelled.
"STOP!" Princess Peach screamed then. "We were going to my Castle to arrange all that. Now we are in really big trouble! We found the dead body, we might each get suspected! Even I!"
Just at that time, the four characters heard an argument coming from the bushes. Daisy and Wario came out, fighting with their fists and apparently having a bad day as well. While going out of the bushes, Daisy stepped on something and looked down.
"What is th… a weapon?"
Bowser recognized the object.
"My gun! My brand-new weapon! And this freaking alien stole it!"
"What?" Tatanga continued. "Hey! I got nothing to do about all that! I found this in the Haunted Mansion, and there was no name written on it! I was at first planning to use it for my escape!"
No one understood what was happening. It`s just then that Birdo arrived with some of Yoshi`s eggs.
"What are you doing with that?" Wario asked. "I had them fir…"
"What are you saying, Wario? You got nothing to do on that!"
"Hell yes, I do have something to do in that entire story!" Wario answered.
Just then Waluigi arrived on the crime scene. "Guys, where were you? I have been searching for five min… WAAAAAAH!" He saw the dead body. "It`s not me, I swear! I have never seen that javelin before! Um, I mean… what happened here? Did I miss something really terrible while I was at the Fair?"
Just as everyone was arguing about that, some shouting, some yelling, some others screaming, but everyone talking real loudly to anyone else, a loud voice came from the bushes.
"Hands up everyone! The police is here!"
A troop of Policetoads arrived from the bushes, and Detective Shroomlock arrived, holding professor E. Gadd close. Birdo looked troubled for a split second, and then went back to her usual circle-mouth. Detective Shroomlock began talking.
"I learned from this professor-inventor-doctor-something that one of you had stolen one of its creations. WW—HH—AA—TT?" the detective said, seeing the dead corpse of Yoshi. "OKAY, EVERYONE, WHO DID THIS?"
Each character pointed to someone else, creating some kind of chain where there was no beginning or end.
"So is no one of you wants to talk, then we`ll arrange all that at the Peach Justice Court!"
As the group began saying things like "No way!" "Hey!" "You can`t do that!" "What?", the group was embarked in a small police machine and sent to jail for the night.
***
While in jail, Mario called Luigi.
"I`m in jail, Luigi. I need help, our trial is tomorrow!"
"No way, Mario, is that some kind of April Fools joke?"
"Are we in April? Do you just happen to know which Mushroom Kingdom month we`re in, anyway?"
"Okay, okay," Luigi answered. "I`ll do my best. I`ll call the bestest lawyer in the Mushroom Kingdom: Toddtoad!"
"Are you sure? He`s really expensive!"
"Got any other idea, Mario? You know very well who Bowser is gonna choose for a prosecutor. Kamek, of course. He is smart, he is logical; he can turn any argument into nothing. The only one who can outsmart him is Toddtoad."
***
The following day, at the Court…
"May the court begin!" Toadsworth, as the judge, said. "What is our case today? An egg robbery, an alien kidnapping, a domicile violation, an unauthorized collection of weapons, and a murder? Okay, this will be a full day…"
"Um, judge Toadsworth?" Shroomlock said. "It is all part of the same case, as was told by our suspects and witnesses. Almost everyone has done something bad, and everyone has its part in the story."
"What is the main case then?"
"The murder, Sir. There are many witnesses and three main suspects."
"Fine. Who is the main suspect?"
"Bowser. The prosecutor for this case will be Kamek the Magikoopa."
"And who is the attorney?"
"It is Toddtoad, sir. He is helped by Luigi."
"That will be an excellent day…" Toadsworth said, sighing. "We all know Todtoad and Kamek hate each other. There will be flaming going around… We shall begin the court."
Toddtoad arrives at his desk, and readies himself for a long talk battle. Kamek appeared in a puff of smoke on his side of the court room.
"Do you think it will be OK, Toddtoad?" Luigi asked.
"Yes, but this is one of the most complicated cases I`ll have ever seen… Can you tell me who I am protecting exactly?"
"Um… it is quite difficult… since all these personalities have been seen on the crime scene, and the weapon apparently appeared out of nowhere to kill Yoshi, they are all suspected, however the main enemies are now considered suspects, and the others are now witnesses. I suppose you are protecting Mario from any risk."
The judge Toadsworth thought about it and said: "Fine, the first witness may enter: Birdo, if you would like to enter the Court Room..."
To be continued… Birdo makes her testimony and is cross-examined. She is not clean of everything as she will reveal… she has a huge part to do in the long story of the day the murder occurred. Can Toddtoad unravel the lies in her testimony and prove she is guilty of something? Because she is, but nobody knows yet… except for me, but I`m not going to say it. I`m not a punch-revealer. Well, unless you already have an idea on who did it... because it van be any of them. Even Mario, sadly.
