Phoenix Wright- Edgeworth's sad turnabout

Oct. 13, 11. 20 a.m.

"No!" yelled Edgeworth, telling a man to stop.

"I don't care! This case will make history, Edgeworth!" the man shouted.

"I will not help you, never in a million years!" Edgeworth said, he turned back and ran away.

Soon, a loud BANG was heard. Edgeworth looked back and found the man he was talking to a few minutes ago dead on the floor.

Oct. 14, 7.17 am

"NICK! Stop reading that book and come here!" ordered Maya.

Phoenix was so shocked that Edgeworth was in Phoenix's own office.

"What're you d-doing here E- Edgeworth?" asked Phoenix.

"I-I need you to be my a-attorney for my case… if you'll take it," mumbled Edgeworth.

Phoenix thought, "Is Edgeworth serious? Should I take his case?"

"Well, Wright? Give an answer," said Edgeworth, giving him a mean look.

"S-Sure, I-I'd be glad to help you," answered Phoenix "But, why are guards following you around?"

"You'll find out yourself, Wright. Lose the case, and I'll drag you down with me," replied Edgeworth.

"Yikes! Did Edgeworth do something wrong? I better find out," Phoenix thought.

The guards brought Edgeworth to prison. THE Phoenix Wright hasn't taken any cases for 6 months now, and it have also been a long time since he seen Edgeworth, for about 8 months I guess.

"Nick! Read the paper!" Maya said pointing to today's paper.

BREAKING NEWS! Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth and the innocent man in 'Cyber Mall'!

A man named Dave Fed died after an incident in 'Cyber Mall' yesterday; at 11.23 pm. Rumors spread that prosecutor Miles Edgeworth pushed the victim down from the fourth floor to the ground floor, killing Mr. Fed. Still, those are just rumors and may not be true.

"Maya, do you think that Edgeworth would do that?" asked Phoenix.

"I don't know. It depends on the case, right?" said Maya "Hey! I know where Cyber Mall is! We can go there by train!"

"Alright, then, let's go!" Phoenix said eagerly.

"Nick, before we go, can we stop at the yummy ice cream parlor?" Maya asked.

"Oh, Maya, you act exactly as a child…" Phoenix was thinking.

IN CYBER MALL... Oct. 14, 9.15 a.m.

"Nick, where's everyone?" asked Maya.

"Maybe Cyber Mall isn't open today because of the case," answered Phoenix.

"Are you sure? Look, a salesman!" said Maya, pointing to a shop where a salesman was daydreaming.

"She is right, is it always like this here? I've never been here but I guess business isn't so good here…" Phoenix thought.

"Hello, are you here to buy some new gadgets? Like computers or ovens or phones, huh?" asked a man.

"Not really. We're here for the incident yesterday; did you see anything in the incident?" asked Phoenix.

"Well, I saw it. I saw everything! No one knows, boy. But I can't tell you the killer, though. I don't know his name but what I know is the most of a witness would know. Oh ya, my name is Donny Den, by the way," explained Donny.

"Nick, we have a witness!" Maya said happily.

"Maya, we have to look for some evidence too, not just a witness or else we'll fail!" Phoenix told Maya.

"Well, we DO have evidence, look at that big pond of blood!" cried Maya.

"I guess she's right. Oh, Phoenix! Why don't you check it out already?" Phoenix said in his mind.

"Let's check it out Maya," said Phoenix, folding his arms.

"I guess this is where the victim landed when he fell… I can't think of how sad it must've been when Edgeworth saw it," Maya said as a tear drop from her eyes went down to her mouth.

"Well, maybe Edgeworth is the killer, Maya. But I definitely don't think he would be THAT cruel to a person," Phoenix exclaimed.

"You're right, Nick! We'll find the- look! It's a foot print!" Maya cried, pointing to a foot print beside the pond of blood.

"It is a foot print, good work Maya! But we still need MORE evidence," Phoenix said.

"Are you THE Phoenix Wright?!" asked Donny.

"Yes I am," Phoenix replied.

"If you really are, then let me tell you about the killer," Donny told both of them "That footprint is the victims footprint!"

"I understand. Mr. Den, please tell us about what happened in the crime scene," Phoenix demanded Donny.

"Very well, I was going to lock my store up but I heard a loud echo from the fourth floor. I thought that it was just another shopkeeper locking up their store. Then, a loud BANG was heard and a man fell from the fourth floor to the ground floor I'm standing on. I hid inside my store when suddenly, the killer went down to check him. The killer's hair was black with some blue highlights; he then laughed and ran outside. But he stepped on the puddle of blood before he went outside. I stayed in the store all night because I was scared that the killer would kill me because I saw what happened. That's all I know," explained Donny.

"Scary. So it could never be Edgeworth!" shouted Maya.

"You mean the guy with the red suit and the grey hair? He knew I was there when the crime scene happened, he told me not to worry," Donny said.

"That explains a lot, Mr. Den, thank you," replied Phoenix.
