Hey guys guess what I'm actually not dead!

So, back to my point. This is my second PW fanfiction. And I PROMISE it's not nearly as crappy as the first. plsgivemeanotherchanceipromisetorewriteit

AHEMAHEM. What was I saying again? Oh yeah. Sooo, this takes place during Dual Destinies. And speaking of Dual Destinies, anyone remember the first case? You know, the bombing of the courtroom? And how (SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T COMPLETED WITH IT YET) Ted Tonate was the one who killed Candice Arme and threatened the court with a model of the HH-3000, saying it was the real thing AND tried to steal the bomb? Well, this is an extension to it, as to why he tried to steal it and sell it on the black market. Besides, Ted Tonate's my favorite character, he needs more love waaaahh! I mean seriously. There are NO stories about Ted Tonate. I check three times a week. So why not break the barriers AND WRITE STORIES ABOUT TED TONATE!

This chapter is just a prologue to what's about to come after this. One last thing: Ted Tonate's breakdown just happened, Gaspen Payne fled, and now he's confessing to selling the bombs. I even added some stuff that is relevant to the story!

Chapter One

For My Sister

The courtroom had seen some serious crap that trial day. A mad bomber, Ted Tonate, had murdered Candice Arme with the HH-3000 used to blow up Courtroom No. 4. He had threatened the courtroom with a model of the HH-3000, the bomb used to murder Detective Arme and blow up the courtroom, saying it was the real thing. Everyone fled, with the exceptions of Phoenix Wright, Athena Cykes, the judge, and one young woman in the gallery. A couple of minutes ago, his own goggles had blown up in his face. He had confessed to murdering Candice Arme and selling the bombs on the black market.

"...I found that kid all up in my transport case!" He explained.

"That's when I snuck up behind him and...BAM! And when the idiot police arrested that little girl...I thought for sure I could pin it all on her! Why...oh why...Ari...?"

"Ari?" Athena echoed the last word Ted had muttered. Very strong vibes were coming off of him, a sadness like he had just lost a family member or was about to lose one. Slowly, he produced a well worn-down, folded up photo of a young woman, in her late 20's or early 30's. Her hair was a vibrant blonde that went down to her shoulders, her eyes were as blue as the sea, although one irises was blood red and there were white spots flecked on the pupil and the iris. She was wearing a headset and looked like a professional coder.

"My sister...Ari. Ari Tonate...She works at D-Lab-O...I was selling the bombs I dismantled on the black market all to help support her... She had a condition...If I was able to sell the HH-3000...I would finally get enough money to finally pay for the surgery needed to get rid of her condition."

"I always carry her photo around with me...she's like the light on the LED display of the HH-3000, bright and could light up the darkest room..."

The judge slammed his gavel down.

"Mr. Tonate, you are under arrest under suspicion of the courtroom bombing, the assault of Mr. Justice, and selling bombs on the black market, even if it was for your sister. However, we shall provide the money needed for your sister's surgery. Your innocence or guilt will be determined in a later trial." The judge announced. Finally, everyone that had fled with the exception of the prosecutor, Gaspen Payne, had returned to the gallery and joined the young woman there, who actually looked like she was about to cry.

"Ah yes, I see almost everybody has returned to the gallery. One person, however, still seems to be running far, far away." The judge added.

"Be that as it may, I will now announce Ms. Juniper Woods' verdict."

NOT GUILTY

Everyone erupted into cheers. The same woman who looked as if she were about to cry, however, actually burst into tears. She ran out of the courtroom, face in hands. No one took notice of her, however.

Later that very night, the woman who had burst into tears silently crept into the Detention Center. Ted was sitting in the chair on the other side of the glass. The two of them picked up the phones.

"Hello, brother."

"Hello, Ari."

"I'm so sorry about my condition, if it weren't for it, you wouldn't be in this prison. Don't worry, though. I promise that one day, I will get you out of here. I never break my promises." Ari sweetly smiled through the glass.

Aaaaand, the first chapter is done! So sorry that this was shorter than my other fics. It's only a prologue and will get longer as I progress! Now then, I'm off to rewrite "Turnabout Twins" kthxbai
