Here is my newest Fanfic, hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Phineas and Ferb, or the film this fic is based on
On the eve of the jury's final verdict, accused Serial Killer, Phineas Flynn, requested an exclusive interview with investigative journalist, Kevin Rockmore. Phineas sat in a room, security stood around the room, Phineas was handcuffed. The door to the room opened and a man that was average in height and slightly chubby, with short brown hair and a five o'clock shadow entered the room, he was dressed in a black business suit.
"I suppose I should, uh...thank you, for the opportunity. For choosing me above the others" said Kevin
Phineas didn't respond.
"Can I ask why me?" asked Kevin
"With your reputation, your...history...you were clearly the only choice" said Phineas
Kevin sat down at the other side of the table Phineas was sitting at, there was a file on the table.
"Are you the Serial Killer known as The Dark Defender?" asked Kevin
Phineas hesitated and smiled.
==One Day Later==
Phineas was in a courtroom.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, have you reached a verdict?" asked the judge
A member of the jury stood up.
"Yes we have, your honour" said the jury member
"Will the defendant please rise?" asked the judge
Phineas stood up.
"On the 33 counts of murder, how do you find?" asked the judge
Outside, multiple news reporters, half the population of Danville and plenty of security surrounded the courthouse, awaiting the verdict. Protesters were also there showing their support for Phineas. News Reporter, Spencer Garfield, was giving a report
"We are standing here today, outside the supreme court, where over 100,000 have gathered in attendance to await the verdict in the extraordinary trial of Phineas Flynn. The entire world is watching this bizarre trial and no one knows which way the jury will vote, but, one thing's for certain, whichever way the..." said Spencer
Spencer's report was interrupted when 3 men exited the courthouse and approached a podium.
"...Wait, it looks like we may have a verdict" said Spencer
Protesters kept chanting 'Set Flynn Free'.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for your patience..." said one of the men
The man took a document from his jacket, a woman could be heard screaming 'NOT GUILTY!'.
"This trial is unprecedented in our history, it has sparked controversy and evoked emotions worldwide, we are now in a position to announce that after months of trial and jury deliberation, we finally have a verdict" said the man
An explosion interrupted the man's speech.
==2 years ago==
A news report came on DNN. The headline was 'Masked Man kills Priest'.
"Good evening, this afternoon, we received brutal footage from a masked man calling himself 'The Dark Defender'..." said the news anchor
A photo of a shadowy figure appears on screen.
"...we must warn you that some viewers may find the following footage disturbing" said the news anchor
==Footage==
A shadowy figure faced the camera in a dark room with only a small light switched on.
"Do you know me? I'm just like you" said the man
The footage cuts to the inside of some sort of office or study, the door bursts open and an overweight old man falls through the doorframe and onto the ground, before proceeding to crawl away from what he was trying to escape. The footage cuts back to the dark room.
"I'm just another face in the crowd" said the man
The footage cuts back to the office, a man is only seen from the waist down, wearing a pair of dark blue jeans, a black hoodie, black gloves and black boots. He grabs the old man by the back of his shirt collar. The footage cuts back to the dark room.
"Wife, child, mortgage..." said the man
In the office, the old man is now standing up, the other man is seen with some sort of baton in hand, he hits the old man in the back of the knee.
"A job I hate...A life I hate" said the man in the dark room
In the office, the unseen man continues to beat the old man to death with the baton.
"A life without meaning" said the man in the dark room.
The man in the dark room stepped forward and the dark red mask he was wearing was revealed.
"...I'm The Dark Defender" said the man
In the office, the old man is dead, the Dark Defender grabs a hidden camera that was recording the murder and the footage stops.
==News Report==
"You just witnessed the brutal murder of retired priest, Dennis Harrison. At this time, it is a mystery why this man, calling himself 'The Dark Defender' murdered Mr Harrison" said the news anchor
==Board Room==
Kevin was in the board room of DNN along with the news anchor and a male employee.
"So, that's the story you ran?" asked Kevin
"Yes" said the male employee
"Mm-Hmm" hummed Kevin
"It's not unusual for us to edit footage, we usually do it to protect people" said the male employee
"Yeah, I'm familiar with that concept, Matt, thanks, but you were withholding certain aspects of the story. Aspects that were quite clear and self-explanatory on the footage that 'The Dark Defender' supplied" said Kevin
"We were under orders" said Matt
"From whom?" asked Kevin
==Police Station==
Kevin sat in an office talking to a detective.
"At that stage, what did you know about The Dark Defender?" asked Kevin
"Well, nothing really, except that he had a lot of information about his victims" said the detective
"Where do you think that information came from?" asked Kevin
"He was a very sophisticated and intelligent predator, he seemed to have a wide network" said the detective
"Exactly when was the Task Force formed?" asked Kevin
"I was brought in after the fifth killing, then Task Force Swordfish was formed" said the detective
"The pressure to catch him must have been immense" said Kevin
"Absolutely, we can't just have someone going around killing people, justified or not" said the detective
"Justified?" asked Kevin
That does it for the first chapter, hope you enjoyed, let me know what you thought
