Disclaimer: "Phoenix Wright" is owned by Capcom, Shu Takumi, Atsushi Inaba and Minae Matsukawa. I do not own the series in any shape or form, nor will I ever be able to. I do however own the OC characters in this story. That being said, I hope you enjoy, and have a good day.
The Situation At Hand!
Phoenix is seen being escorted inside the police station. Despite his earlier anguish, he figured the best approach to this would be just to remain calm. The police officer then proceeds to lead him into a cell, and then shuts the door on him.
"Sir, you've got to believe me, I didn't commit any murder." Said Phoenix.
"The knife was on your desk, and it was covered in blood." Said the police officer simply.
"I don't even own that type of knife!" Said Phoenix.
"Tell it to the judge." Said the police officer.
Phoenix then proceeds to sigh, and then proceeds to sit down on the bench.
"Alright Phoenix, stay calm." Thought Phoenix to himself. "Now think, somebody obviously bears some sort of grudge towards you, so much so that he'd pin the blame on you for a murder. The question is who, and for what purpose? And if they really hated me that much, why not just kill me instead of...her."
Phoenix's mind then proceeds to wander for a bit, trying to piece together who could have possibly done the murder. All of his conclusions though have ended with people who were already in prison, already dead, or had too much of a respect for him, grudging or not, to commit such a personal crime against him.
Suddenly, his cell begins to open. Phoenix snaps out of his deep thinking trance and get's up.
"Time to make your phone call." Said the police officer.
We then cut to Phoenix entering a long hall, it's wall filled with rows of phones. Several other inmates are seen talking on the phone as well. One of them proceeds to look at Phoenix for a few seconds, only to go back to his phone call.
Phoenix approaches the phone, and begins to dial a number.
We then cut to a small house in some other part of the city. It is white with a black tile roof. Inside the house, we hear a phone ringing. From a hallway comes a young man with short brown hair with two spiked tips and brown eyes, wearing what appears to be a normal white T-Shirt, and long blue pants. He picks up the phone.
"Hello?" Asked the young man.
"Apollo, it's me. Look, I know it's your day off but...there's been a situation." Said Phoenix.
"Phoenix? What happened?" Asked Apollo.
"I arrived at the office building this morning, and when I got into my office, I found this bloody knife on my desk. A balisong I believe." Said Phoenix.
"A balisong? Those are illegal aren't they?" Asked Apollo.
"They are, but listen." Said Phoenix. "Shortly after that, the police arrived and swarmed the building. I think you should be able to put 2 and 2 together."
"No, don't tell me..." Said Apollo.
"Yeah I'm afraid so, you'll also never believe who I'm framed for murdering." Said Phoenix. "You know that young woman I introduced you and Athena to the other day."
"You're kidding!" Said Apollo, his eyes widening in shock.
"No, I wish I was, but I'm not. I'm currently being detained, I need both you and Athena to get down here as quickly as possible." Said Phoenix.
"Don't worry Phoenix, I'll get down there ASAP." Said Apollo.
"Thank you." Said Phoenix. He then proceeds to hang up the phone.
Apollo then proceeds to dial in another number on the phone. The phone proceeds to ring for a few seconds, and the voice of a young woman proceeds to answer. "Hello."
"Athena it's me, listen..." Said Apollo.
"This is Athena Cykes, I'm sorry that I can't come to the phone right now, but please leave a name, phone number and message, and I'll be more than happy to call you back." Said the voice, belonging to Athena Cykes. A more computerized voice then proceeds to say "To leave a call back number, press 5." And then the beep.
"Athena, it's Apollo. Listen, there's been a situation at the office, and to make a long story short, Phoenix is currently being detained in the police station. He wants us both to meet him there. Either call me back or head on over there as soon as you can. Bye." Said Apollo.
He then proceeds to enter his bedroom, and closes the door behind him. After a few moments, Apollo proceeds to come out, now dressed in his usual work attire. A red buttoned vest with a white shirt underneath adorned with a blue tie. He has long red pants and black laceless shoes. Around his left wrist is a golden bracelet. Apollo then proceeds to step out of his house, and locks the door behind him.
A few hours later, we see Phoenix once again behind the same cell as he was before, this time sorrounded by other detainees.
"Aren't you the defense attorney Phoenix Wright?" Asked one of the detainees.
"Yes. Yes I am." Said Phoenix.
"The hell did you do to get slammed in with us?" Asked the detainee.
"I was framed for murder." Said Phoenix.
"That sucks." Said the detainee.
"You're telling me." Said Phoenix.
"You didn't do it." Said the detainee.
"How can you be so sure?" Asked Phoenix.
"I don't know, you just don't look like the killing type." Said the detainee.
"Good eye." Said Phoenix.
"It's the reason why I'm in here." Said the detainee.
"Oh?" Asked Phoenix.
"Attempted to rob a jewelry store, but my partner bailed on me." Said the detainee.
"Most people would try to cover that up." Said Phoenix.
"Not me." Said the detainee. "You know what they say, honesty is the best policy."
"That's a good policy." Said Phoenix.
A police officer walks up to the jail cell. "Wright, you got visitors." Said the officer.
We see both Apollo and another young woman sitting beside him. The young woman has long light brown hair, tied with a blue ribbon. Attached to her right ear is a yellow crescent moon shaped earring. She has blue eyes, and wrapped around her neck is a necklace with a blue smiley face attached to it. She is wearing a small yellow jacket, with a white shirt underneath and a blue tie. She has a black glove on her right hand. She is also wearing a yellow skirt, with long black pants underneath. She has white shoes with blue stripes adorning it.
"Sorry we're late, we tried to get here as fast as we could." Said Apollo.
"It's fine, better late than never." Said Phoenix.
"Tell us what happened, Phoenix, we'll try to make sense of the situation." Said the young woman.
"Again, I've been framed for murder. I walk into my office this morning and there is a bloody balisong knife on my desk. Next thing you know, a swarm of police vehicles sorround the building, and Detective Gumshoe is seen dragging me off here." Said Phoenix.
"Apollo told me who the victim was, I'm so sorry to hear." Said Athena. "But don't worry, me and Apollo will do everything in our power to prove you're innocent."
"Glad to hear." Said Phoenix.
"Sir, do you happen to know anyone who'd have a grudge against you?" Asked Apollo.
"That's the thing, I've came up with almost every solution, but all the solutions I've come up with have either already been executed, or still currently behind bars." Said Phoenix. "As far as I'm concerned, I've earned the hatred of a complete and total stranger!"
"Well whoever this stranger is won't be getting away with murder. Not on my watch." Said Apollo.
"I know you two won't let me down. You never have before." Said Phoenix.
"Time is up." Said the police officer.
"I'll talk to you guys later." Said Phoenix.
Phoenix then proceeds to leave the room. Apollo and Athena proceed to stand up.
"So, what do we do now?" Asked Athena.
"We look at the evidence, hopefully the woman we're looking for is in today." Said Apollo.
"Let's hop to it then." Said Athena. "The faster we clear things up, the better."
"Right." Said Apollo.
The two proceed to leave the visiting area, questions forming in all three defense attorney's heads. The most important questions however being, "Who did this, and why?"
Comments: And here we are with the second chapter, sorry if nothing really happened here, I'm just trying to take the slow and steady route, considering last chapter everything in my opinion kind of escalated quickly. So yeah, Apollo and Athena just proclaimed that they're defending Phoenix in the upcoming trial, so there's that to look forward to. Well then folks, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, thank you for reading it. Please leave your comments and reviews, as I love hearing feedback from you guys. Have a nice day.
