A/N

Given that my original one-shot (Beta'd by HopeThePixii, THANKS! :D) turned out pretty good, I decided to move onto an idea I had for a while. This is a multi-chapter fiction but my update time might be erratic, just as a warning.

Credits to the characters used will be given at the end of this chapter, as several of my friends gave me the go-aheads to use their legendary's for this fic.


The air here was silent as a tomb; not a breath of wind ran through these plains. The ground was black rock; stone that crunched under every footstep. The sky was filled with ominous black clouds that shot blue lightning almost constantly with the loud announcement of a thunderclap.

Here is where it began…

In the darkness that enveloped this island floating in a void of space, there stood a single figure. Her height could put almost any other pokemon to shame, her armor and other physical features hidden from view by the shadows. In front of her on the floating isle was a single white orb about the size of a human's fist. This orb glowed occasionally, but the light was immediately enveloped by the darkness of this domain.

"To the legendary that has found this, I wish for you to never speak of what I'm about to say to anyone except Arceus, and this orb is to go straight to him after you view it." the figure said into the orb, which was seemingly recording everything she said.

"You probably already know of the horrible crime that was committed in the Hall of Origin roughly a week ago, and you already know of the trial and conviction of the one we believed to be the one behind it. But, I've found proof of something different…" she continued, closing her eyes as one particular memory from that week of hell came back to her.

----Flashback----

"Letmis, isn't it awful!?" a still shocked Articuno, whom we call Irea, said in the Hall's meeting room, where numerous legendaries were gathering.

Letmis didn't answer. She was still trying to convince herself that this was all just a dream; that none of this was really happening, but she was forced to realize this was real; that one of their own was truly gone forever.

"Everyone, attention please!"

The white-furred, golden hoove leader of the legendaries standing on the platform in front of them tried to get the crowd to quiet down, but the numerous private conversations about the act that had been committed just tuned him out. "I SAID ATTENTION!" He slammed his fore hooves onto the marble floor, leaving two hoof-shaped imprints. At that, every conversation was silenced as their eye's moved towards their impatient leader.

"Thank you…" He let out a sigh as he began his speech. "As most of you are aware, one of our own has been found... incapacitated on the lower levels of the Hall." That one sentence sparked a flurry of raised voices, comments, and accusations toward various legendaries.

"I, for one, think it's Hekiashi who did it." a Cresselia, who we know as Luna, commented over the storm of voices.

"BULL!" said Darkrai, known as Hekiashi, yelled back across the room. "Sure, it was tempting, but even I have limits!" he defended, and eventually the two Lunar Legendaries ended up in an argument over things that didn't even apply to the main topic.

"It has to have been Rosalie! You all know how much she hated the victim!" Another voice rang out, originating from Dialga, who we know as Tiam.

"FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I WAS IN MY DIMENSION THE ENTIRE TIME, BASTARD!" a voice roared so loudly that all the other legendaries winced, but did not break off their separate arguments.

"SHUT UP!!!" Arceus's voice boomed louder than even Rosalie's as he slammed his fore hooves down again, creating a shockwave that knocked over some of the lighter standing legendaries. Everyone silenced as the legendaries that had been knocked over stood back up, looking over at their leader. "INSTEAD OF ACCUSING YOURSELVES UNTILL THE END OF TIME, HOW ABOUT WE ACTUALLY TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE CULPRIT!?" he roared, and everyone winced at the volume.

"What about a trial?" Luna suggested when Arceus had calmed down enough where she wouldn't be at risk of a Judgment to the sails. "The humans do trials when they try to figure out things such as this. We could easily set a similar one up." She continued, and Arceus thought about it for a few moments.

"Very well, Luna. A trial it is." Arceus spoke, and everyone let out their breaths now that the God pokemon had calmed.

----End Flashback----

The tall figure opened her eyes again, looking back down at the orb. It still felt like yesterday that the one lost had been down in the Torn World on a casual visit, and while it was only about a week ago, now his memory never seemed too far away.

"From what I've discovered… I've come to one conclusion." she began, before a laugh came from behind her. She spun around, eyes narrowed at the newcomer to this, her place of solitude.

"Well, you've gotten too deep, haven't you?" The voice chuckled as the Pokemon of Origin approached…

Here is where it began… and here is where it will end forever.


A/N

Well, there's the Prologue of A Most Legendary Murder. The victim will be revealed next chapter, and take note that this chapter occurs AFTER the next few chapters.

Credits for the legendary's go to my friends and fellow RPers HumanPikachu, EternalShiningPikmin, ClinicallyInsaneAndDangerous, and HopeThePixii, of course. XD
