Tragedy Hits Home!
The full moon shines down upon the city in all its luminous glory. The city itself is seen glowing with a plethora of lights. People are seen walking the streets, cars drifting slowly on the roads.
"Wow, it seems that a lot has happened in the past several years, huh?" Called out the voice of a young woman.
"Yeah, then again, that's bound to happen a lot in this career choice." Said another voice, male.
Descending into the street level of the city, two young looking people, a man and a woman are seen walking down a street. The man is tall, with spiked black hair and black eyes. He is currently wearing a blue suit with a white buttoned shirt and red tie underneath. He is also wearing long blue pants, and black laceless shoes.
The young woman walking next to him is almost just as tall, reaching up to about his neck in terms of height. She has long black hair, and black eyes. She is wearing a light purple kimono, tied with a dark purple ribbon. Around her neck is what appears to be a pearl necklace, donning a 9 shaped red stone.
"It's hard to believe that I already have to be heading back home. It feels like I just got here." Said the woman.
"Time flies when you're having fun, huh Maya?" Asked the man, smiling.
"Yeah, I suppose it does." Said the young woman, named Maya. She then proceeds to smile. That Athena is something else.
"You're telling me." Said the man. "When the situation calls for it though, she's always willing to lend a hand."
"Just like you, huh Nick?" Asked Maya.
"Ha ha ha. Yeah, that pretty much sums it up." Said the man, called Nick.
The two proceed to turn at a corner, and in the distance is what appears to be a train station.
"Well, here we are." Said Nick.
"So soon? I thought we had a few more blocks?" Asked Maya, with a mix of both surprise and some slight disappointment.
"Yeah, I'm afraid so." Said Nick. "Shall we?"
Maya nods, and the two proceed to walk towards the train station. They proceed to enter inside, and people are shown sitting in the seats. One man in particular looks very suspicious, this man donning short brown hair, and wearing a jet black suit with a blue tie. He has green eyes, which Maya could swore were looking at them as they entered.
"Maya, is something wrong?" Asked Nick.
"Oh, nothing, nothing at all." Said Maya.
"Well come on, you don't want to miss your train do you?" Asked Nick.
"Of course." Said Maya.
The two proceed to walk up to a receptionist, who dons short blond hair, and is wearing a red vest with long black pants with brown laceless shoes. The man looks up towards them with his shining blue eyes.
"Yes?" Asked the receptionist.
"Yes, I have a train heading to Kurain Village." Said Maya.
"Ah yes, the number 4 I believe." Said the receptionist. "Do you have a ticket?"
"Right here." Said Nick, flashing the train ticket in the receptionist's face.
"Right." Said the receptionist. "It should be in the right terminal. Just turn in the terminal marked 4, and the train should arrive to pick you up shortly."
"Thank you." Said Maya. She then proceeds to turn to Nick. "Well Nick, I'm off."
"Yeah, so it seems." Said Nick. "Do you want me to go with you?"
"Nah, I'll be fine." Said Maya. She then proceeds to embrace Nick in a hug, which Nick almost immediately returns. They stay like that for a few seconds before breaking the hugs.
"Take care alright, and come back to visit soon." Said Nick.
"Same to you." Said Maya. She then proceeds to walk through the gate. "Good bye Nick!"
"Good bye Maya!" Said Nick.
Maya looks back and waves, before walking off. Nick then proceeds to sigh in relief.
"Hope to see you again real soon." Said Nick to himself. He then sighs again, and proceeds to walk out the building. The suspicious man watches as he leaves, and then turns his head towards the receptionist. The receptionist gives him a nod, and the man proceeds to stand up and head towards the terminal. He flashes the ticket towards the receptionist, and the receptionist opens up what appears to be a magazine.
Maya is now walking down a long hallway, and proceeds to walk towards the terminal marked 4.
"There it is." Thought Maya. She then proceeds to walk through the terminal leading outside.
Coming down the hallway, we see the suspicious man's head, reaching into his pocket. He pulls out what appears to be a black butterfly knife, and takes the knife out of it's holster.
Maya is seen standing and waiting for the train to come. To her surprise, the train seemed to be taking it's sweet time getting there. She reasoned though that maybe she had arrived just a few minutes earlier than she should, and that's why the train isn't coming in yet.
"What a week." Thought Maya. She had just gone through with a week long visit with her old friend Nick, otherwise known as the defense attorney Phoenix Wright. She had first met Phoenix when her sister, Mia Fey was murdered. The blame was pinned on her for the murder, but thanks to Phoenix's efforts, she was proven innocent. For a while, she had worked as his assistant, and had helped on several cases. Nowadays though, she found herself with the responsiblity of being the head of the Fey Clan, a clan of spirit channelers who lived in the Kurain Village. She was lucky enough to get this weeks visit, as there is a lot of responsibility to being the clan's head. Once she got home, she would resume her duties as normal.
A small breeze proceeds to blow, and the brilliant light of the full moon shines down on the lone maiden.
The suspicious man is now seen walking past the terminal entrance, eyeing Maya intently. He then proceeds to lean next to a wall, and takes a small breath.
The man slowly approaches Maya, knife in hand.
"Look out!" Called a voice. Maya's eyes then proceed to widen. Suddenly, she feels a stabbing pain in her back and lets out a small scream before the man covers her mouth.
"A long way you are from the shepherd, said the wolf to the sheep." Said the man. He then proceeds to twist the knife, and Maya's eyes widen in pain. The man takes the knife out of the poor maiden's body, and gently places Maya to the ground. Maya's eyes fill to the brim with tears.
"Why...why did you do this..." Said Maya, her vision now becoming blurry.
"It's nothing against you, miss Fey." Said the man. "Rest in peace."
Maya gasps a few times, before her vision goes completely black. Her body goes limb, and she stops breathing. A small puddle of blood proceeds to form underneath her body, and the man then proceeds to walk away.
The man walks back to the reception area, and the receptionist proceeds to give him a look. The man walks out the building, and the man places a closed sign in his work station. He walks out.
The receptionist takes out a small blue cell phone, and proceeds to dial 911. The phone rings, and a female voice proceeds to answer.
"911, what's your emergency."
"Send the police over quickly, I think someone was just murdered!" Said the man, his voice now filled with panic.
The next day, we see Phoenix walking towards the Wright Anything Agency building. He takes the keys out and unlocks the door. The building is surprisingly empty, but then again, Phoenix usually arrived here early. Phoenix walks up the stairs, and turns down the right hallway. He walks up to the door leading to his office, takes the keys and places it in the lock. To his surprise, the door seems to have already been open. He walks into his office, and it appears that the window leading to his office has been opened.
"What the hell?" Thought Phoenix.
He walks over to the window, and the moment he approaches his desk, his eyes widen. On his desk, is the butterfly knife, the blade covered in blood. Phoenix slowly picks it up and proceeds to examine it. The blood on the blade as far as he could tell was a day old, but the stench still reeked.
"Who on earth could of done this?" Asked Phoenix.
"Nick..." Called out Maya's voice.
Phoenix then proceeds to gasp, and drops the knife. "Maya!?"
Suddenly, a swarm of police vehicles proceed to sorround the front of the building.
From one of the vehicles comes forth a man with small black hair spiked in the front. He has black eyes, and a bandage on the bottom left part of his face. He is wearing a green jacket, with a brown shirt and red tie. He is wearing long black pants held by a belt, and black shoes. He pulls out a megaphone from the vehicle, and shouts into it.
"Phoenix Wright, we know you're in there. Come on out with your hands up!" Yelled the man.
"Gumshoe..." Said Phoenix. He immediately runs for the door, and quickly runs downstairs. He opens the door to the entryway and exits the building.
"Put your hands behind your hand!" Yelled the police man, now called Gumshoe.
"Gumshoe, what is..." Phoenix began to ask.
"PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK AND GET ON YOUR KNEES!" Yelled the detective.
"OK, OK! Calm down." Said Phoenix. He proceeds to do so, getting on his knees and placing his hands behind his head.
Several police officers run past him, and enter into the building. Gumshoe with a pair of handcuffs in hand comes up to Phoenix and forces him to put his hands behind his back.
"Phoenix...I can't believe that you of all people would do this...and to her, your old friend!" Said Gumshoe, barely maintaining his emotions.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Phoenix.
"Sir, we found the murder weapon, it was on his desk!" Said one of the police officers.
"You should be ashamed. Phoenix Wright, you are under arrest for the murder of Maya Fey!" Yelled Detective Gumshoe.
"WHAT!?" Yelled Phoenix. "Maya Fey has been murdered!?"
"Don't play dumb with me, you scumbag!" Yelled Detective Gumshoe. "You very well know she's been murdered, you're the culprit!"
"Wait a minute, no, this has to be some sort of mistake!" Said Phoenix. Gumshoe then proceeds to jam Phoenix in the back of the car.
"Maya...has been...murdered!?" Muttered Phoenix in disbelief. "No...NO!"
The view zooms out from the building, more police vehicles enter into the scene.
"MAYA!" Yelled out Phoenix's voice, filled to the brim with anguish and sadness.
