Episode 1
The Curtain-Fall Turnabout
?: Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore art thou Romeo?
Lights flicker on to reveal a stage of Juliet's tower and two actors playing their roles.
Romeo: Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
Juliet: Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
Suddenly the lights shorten out as the entire world is caught in a veil of darkness.
A maniacal laughter is heard.
?: Sorry, Romeo. But Juliet is mine!
The sound of flesh being torn open is heard and suddenly the curtains fall down upon the stage. When the lights flicker back on security guards remove the sheet to reveal Romeo... with his neck sliced open, a knife by his side and... his culprit? A man in a guard costume.
Guard: Wait, wait! It's not what you think! I didn't do it!
Cut to a black screen as a mask of pure white and a face of evil appears.
?: Foresooth. It appears that tragedy has struck. Even earlier then it was intended to be. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
The mask disappears as the image of the dead Romeo actor remains in sight.
May 22, 11:35 A.M.
Wright and Co. Law Offices
Wright and Co. Law Offices, the place for any innocent soul to go to for help when nobody else will. This particular day however was quite uneventful as it hasn't had a case since a year ago with the murder of Elise Deauxnim a.k.a. Misty Fey, the master of Kurain Channeling Technique and head of the Fey Clan. This company was run by one Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney, a famous defense attorney. His friends like to call him Nick.
Phoenix: Another day, another case-less month. It starts to get quite dull around here without anything to do.
Suddenly a bright chipper girl wearing a kimono and a magatama around her neck. She was the current Master of the Kurain Channeling Technique and head of her clan, Maya Fey. Also by her side was her cousin Pearl Fey, or Pearls as Phoenix and Maya like to call her.
Maya: Yeash, if it gets anymore uneventful might as well be seeing tumbleweeds come through.
Pearl: Um, what's a... tum-bull-weed?
Phoenix: (Guess she doesn't know much about the Wild West) I'll tell you later. Let's just hope we get some form of case to take on.
Maya: Yeah, I don't want to be stuck cleaning the toilet or watering the plants for the rest of the month.
Maya seemed very determined to get some form of work other than chores done. She's quite rambunctious and wacky.
Phoenix: (My name is Phoenix Wright, I'm a Defense Attorney. This here is Maya Fey, head of her family clan which specializes in the Kurain Channeling Technique, it's basically summoning a spirit to inhabit your own body. That there is Pearl Fey, though we like to call her Pearls, she's Maya's cousin and apparently much more experienced in channeling dead spirits. Together we run the Wright and Co. Law Offices, though nowadays there doesn't seem to be much work here. My last case dealt with the death of Maya's mother, a plot to kill her, and a benevolent spirit from my past to haunt me once again. But anyway, It's nice to have a quiet day but after a while it starts to wear on your brain. No cases means no work and no work means no money to pay rent. Sometimes I ask myself why I can't just buy myself a house. The answer, however, always seems to slip by me. But this year would be different. For this year was the year where I would get entangled in a war with one of the most feared prosecutors, a rival clan that plotted against the Fey Clan and so much other stuff it would be enough to choke a pack of tigers. This was the day... where i met HIM.)
The rest of the day continued pretty much the same. Phoenix sat at his desk, Maya was doing house chores and Pearl was watching television to ease her bored mind. Suddenly Phoenix's phone began to rang as the familiar Steel Samurai tune played. Maya and Pearl jumped towards the desk to see who it was. Then Wright answered.
Phoenix: Hello? Wright and Co. Law Offices. Phoenix Wright, speaking.
?: Oh thank god. I'm glad I got you. I had nowhere else to turn.
Maya had her cheerful demeanor with her hands together as she was waiting for what was going to happen. Pearl seemed pretty happy as well. Wright then put his phone on speaker
?: Let me get introductions out of the way. My name is Sylvester Dramito.
Maya gasped at that.
Maya: THE Sylvester Dramito, the famous playwright?!
Sylvester: The one and only. Anyway, I am need of your services.
Maya: Alright! We got a case!
Pearl: Yippee!
The two feys were dancing in joy and happiness as they finally had work to do.
Phoenix: (Wow, never knew they danced like that after being bored for a long time.) So Mr. Dramito. What can I do for you?
Sylvester: Here's the deal. I've recently put on a play of Romeo and Juliet, the most tragic love story of all time. The sad tale of two star-strung lovers forbidden to see each other by their families and it all ending in tragedy for the beloved duo. The play was going on so well up until the famous tower scene. Dimitri Lubosi, the actor that played Romeo, was murdered on stage and one of my other actors is being accused of the crime. Mark Straight, the guard in that scene, was arrested and accused of the crime.
Phoenix: I see. I'll see what I can do.
Sylvester: Oh thank you Mr. Wright, ever other lawyer I went to dumped the case and I had nowhere else to turn. Thank the gods for you. I have faith that you will bring Mark to light and the show will go on!
After that Sylvester hung up.
Maya: Alright, Nick! We're back in business! Time to get the lead out and do what we do best!
Pearl: I'm right behind you Mystic Maya and Mr. Nick.
Phoenix: Yeah, I guess it has been a long time since our last case. So let's pull together and see what we got.
Maya and Pearl cheered as the trio made their way to the Detention Center to meet their newest client and embark on a journey more perilous than any other adventure they had.
