AU: This is a rewrite of chapter 1. I've finally gotten a complaint so here comes the rewrite. Oh and to Jokulmorder thank you for giving me an excuse to rewrite this.. been wanting to do this for a while now. Don't worry nothing will change except for updated grammar errors, the lack of a script writing style and maybe a few additional scenes. The core story plot will stay the same. Well enjoy.

Welcome to Nerima Part 1

It's complete the best thing we were able to make.

Hey kekei you done in here.

Crap it's the principal you're going down.

Where are we going to put the body.

A certain fanged boy started walking through.

I know the perfect place.

2:22 P.M.

Japanese Airport

Two figures could be seen exiting from a Japanese airport. One was wearing a blue suit with a red tie in the middle. The other figure was smaller and was wearing a medium outfit. These two people were Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey.

"I still don't understand why we have to go to Japan for a year. Going to those classes were awful, especially after you kept on confusing Japanese with Chinese." Wright said. To this Maya said, "Don't be so wishywashy Nick, after all Detective Gumshoe spent that much time insisting that we go here and besides even with an American/Japanese dictionary and a teacher to guide you there step by step. You've gotta admit learning Japanese was that's all in the past. Right now we're in Japan and heading to uhhh."

Wright seeing as Maya didn't even know where they were going gave out a sigh and said, "Nerima."

"Right Nerima."

To this Wright decided to think of that time he read about the district they were going to and said, "Yeah I guess so, but I kinda heard that Nerima was weird. I heard that there are crazy kendoists, pandas that can pull signs up out of nowhere, chinese amazons, and a pervert that uses cherry bombs as a martial arts technique."

Maya thought up of all the things that they've been through and said, "It's nothing we can't handle."

Wright then agreed with Maya but was secretly thinking "What in the world made her say that. The worse that's happened to us is..." But then he remembered all of his clients and the various prosecutors he's faced. "Oh dear god what is wrong with my career. Hopefully Nerima won't make it even more weird."

Oh how wrong Wright would be.

5:34 P.M.

Tendo Dojo

After traveling all the way here they saw a sign that said Tendo dojo. "Maybe we can stay here for a bit Maya. I read that dojos sometimes offered their services to weary travelers." Wright said "But then again all of that was during the night." He secretly thought.

Maya responded by collapsing with a loud thud and then saying "That's the best idea you've had all day Nick. Maybe they can replenish my burger supply."

"I swear, don't girls watch their weight? She just stopped at a burger joint an hour ago." Wright thought with a sigh.

Wright started walking up to the dojo and knocked on the door. After a short a while some yelling was heard and the door opened, revealing a girl with a dark blue hair.

The girl looked around in annoyance. That look of annoyance turned into one of anger, but as soon as it appeared she sighed and it all disappeared. The girl then started to speak

"If you're another of Ranma's fiances you'll have to wait, because an awful thing has happened."

Maya opened her mouth and said, "Who's Ranma? And what's the awful thing that happened."

The girl sighed and motioned for them to come in.

A pigtailed boy wearing a red chinese shirt came out, "There you are Akane. We have to tell these idiots that there's no way Ryouga killed that crazy principal. Besides he was in your laaaaa NEVERMIND."

Akane got a look of confusion and said,"Huh he was in my what? Well I guess it can't be that important. What should we do Ranma?"(Note: the stress from having Ryouga arrested is making it so that she doesn't get that angry in this turnabout.)

Wright thought in his mind, "I don't care what she thinks. That did sound important. I think I'll make a memo of this."

MEMO ADDED TO COURT RECORD

"Well anyway why don't I try to prove your friends innocence, after all I am an attorney?"

"Are you sure we don't have that much yen?"

"If we win why don't we stay here for a while. And I'll only ask for a bit of yen."

Wright looked liked relieved when he the got the nod that confirmed a yes. Frankly he was starting to get afraid that they would have to stay under a bridge since he found out all the banks were closed and Maya spent all his money in the airport or to buy more burgers.

Wright saw a male figure approaching and guessed it was Akanes dad. His thoughts were proven true when she said this."Daddy can we let these people stay with us, in return they'll help Ryouga out on his case."

The human fountain thought about it for a while and decided to say no, when he remembered that the town committee was still hounding him on the master. The lad said he was a lawyer and maybe he could stop them.

"Sure as long as he helps me with something later." Wright nodded.

Akane sighed with releif. "Thank your for your help Mr. uhh"

"Wright."

Akane said more cheerfully, "Right, Mr. Wright. Oh wait we haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name is Akane Tendo, this is Ranma this is my daddy, My sister Kasumi is out shopping right now and I don't know where Mr. Saotome is."

"What's with all the guests daddy."

Akane who thought getting into an argument over these new guests staying with us and about the money it would cost just said,"Oh and this is my other sister Nabiki.

"My name is Phoenix Wright. I'm a defense attorney and this is my assistant Maya Fey."

Maya got a grumpy look on her face and said,"Hello and don't listen to Mr. Blabbermouth over here.I'm not just an assistant. Nick here wouldn't be anything without me." "I resent that. Anyway what sort of trouble is your friend in?"

"You mean Ryouga? We're kinda not friends. Any who you better ask the cops, they know the case better than we do."

"I might as well go the scene of the crime. Maya you stay here and see if you can find out more about this case."

"You can count on me."

"Just don't ask Nabiki for information unless you have a lot of money." Ranma warned.

"Oh come on I'll give you guys a discount. I'll only charge 10,000 yen."

"You call that a discount." Everyone thought in their heads with a sweat drop.

8:30 P.M.

Furinkan High

"So this is Furinkan High. It sure has a lot of holes in the building. I better ask about the case from that cop over there."

"The case is pretty clean and cut. The suspect is Ryouga Hibiki. He is charged with murdering Kuno's dad, otherwise known as the principal of Furinkan High School. His backpack was found near the body, a witness saw him commit the crime, and he claims that he has someone to support him. His body was found near the school he was charged with."

A man in a kendo outfit suddenly appeared.

"Who are you? Wait tis not rude to ask for someone's name and not give your own? I am the Shooting Star of Furinkan High, Tatewaki Kuno, age 18. To this a shooting star could be seen in the background. Are you here to help me defeat the foul sorcerer Ranma Saotome?

"What? No. My name is Phoenix Wright and what do you mean Ranma's a foul sorcerer."

"Well for one he used black magic to enslave my beloved pigtailed goddess and the fierce Akane Tendo. I swear on my title as the Blue Thunder (insert thunder backdrop) that I shall free them." "Didn't he just call himself the Shooting Star." Wright though with a sweat drop.

"Don't you mean Blue Blunder?"

"What who said that. Allow me to cut your impotent tongue with my noble blade.

Ranma then hopped out of the roof he was in. "Yeah, Mr. Wright don't trust anything he says, he should've gone to a mental ward years ago."

"What was that! We shall do battle." Kuno charged in with his sword prepared to finally free his pigtailed girl and Akane Tendo when Wright saw Ranma kick Kuno out into the next ward. Once this was done Ranma then began to roof hop home.

"Wow that something you don't see everyday. I guess I should try to find more clues."

"Hmm that look likes blood in a sword."

BLOODY SWORD ADDED TO THE COURT RECORD

"Those marks look like they were made from a pig, but they suddenly disappear right then and there."

MYSTERIOUS PIGMARKS ADDED TO THE COURT RECORD

"What's a teakettle doing here?"

TEAKETTLE ADDED TO THE COURT RECORD

"It's getting pretty late. I wonder how Maya is doing?"

SPLASH

"Those sprinklers sure can catch people off guard."

SPRINKLERS ADDED TO THE COURT RECORD

10:47 P.M.

Tendo Dojo

"So Maya how did the search here go? I was able to find some clues."

"Well Ryouga is supposed to be a super powered martial artist that can destroy things that aren't living with one finger due to an Amazon technique. He has a fierce rival with Ranma and a pigtailed girl. Often saying "RANMA PREPARE TO DIE!" whenever they see each other, but they usually help each other out when people are in danger, and he also has a crush on someone called Akari. Oh yeah he can also get lost looking for the bathroom."

Wright looked at Maya disbelievingly. "Are you sure some of that stuff wasn't made up?"

"Nope you can ask the people here yourself and besides I used this lie detector to find out for sure."

"You mean the one we got at the airport from the guy that was carrying a chicken?" Wright thought with a sweat drop.

RYOUGA'S INFORMATION WAS ADDED TO THE COURT RECORD

"Well that's about it. By the way what court am I going to?"

Nabiki popped out of nowhere.

"You're going to the one near Furinkan High, you can't miss it. By the way I'm going to tell you this now. If you want to win this case with the information you have, you need to get Ranma and Ryouga to reveal a harsh secret."

"What do you mean." Wright said with a look of worry in his face.

"You're a smart attorney. You'll be able to do it. It's about time that Akane opened her eyes to the real world."
