AKA: The Feel Train

Justice's Apartment

May 24, 2035, 6:20 AM

Athena woke up at her usual time. She was always an early riser, ever since she was a child. It was perfect, because it means she could go for her early morning job with the dog, Lenny. She felt her naked husbands arm wrapped around her waist, holding her to him. He was out like a rock. 'Maybe I should've been easier on him last night... Four times in a row might be too much for one man.'

She flipped the sheets off her, and sat up at the edges of the bed, running her hand over her face and eventually through her long hair. She stood up, and went to get her jogging kit on. The morning was misty, but signs of a sunny day stood on the horizon. She walked out with her running short, shoes and shirt on. She walked out of the bedroom, and down the hall towards the apartment door. Lenny was already awake, and was waiting by the front door, ready for his early morning run. Athena walked past a sleeping Maya, who looked absolutely exhausted from the case she had the previous day.

Athena opened up the front door, and Lenny immediately sprinted out, already setting on the jogging path Athena usually took. Athena chuckled, and started jogging after the dog.

With Apollo back, life couldn't get any better. She felt her heart pumping after a few minutes, and her breaths quickened, but she kept going at a steady pace, passing by other joggers as she ran around the park outside the apartment. Lenny was running ahead, looking back at Athena every now and then as if to mock her. 'Heh. Screw you too, mutt.'

After around five laps, Athena only just started feel exhausted. She kept going, however. Pushing her limit.

She was never one to give up.

Justice's Apartment

May 24, 2035, 7:10 AM

Maya's eyes shot open at the sunlight bursting into the apartment, lighting it up. She raised herself up from the couch, moving her hair off her face. Maya walked over to the coffee machine to get her daily dose of 'wake the fuck up.'

She looked outside the window, and saw Athena, jogging around the park, Lenny ahead of her. She seemed to have a smile permanently printed on her face, and Maya was glad to see that. To know it was herself that saved Apollo. If she hadn't of come back from the dead, another friend would've been lost.

She was still questioning a few things as she sat at the kitchen bench with a coffee mug in her hand. The most important one popping in her head every two seconds.

'Why does everyone hate me?'

There were multiple other ones as well. 'What does Raven mean that I'm the reason? How does he know Phoenix? What in gods name happened to his fingers?'

So many questions, yet absolutely no answers. Maya took a sip of her coffee, staring into nothingness, thinking. Her thoughts were cut off by a pained groan coming from Apollo's bedroom. Maya eventually saw the man after some time, wearing black shorts with no shirt on. He limped over to the coffee machine.

"What the hell has happened with you?" Maya asked. She already knew the answer, but it would be quite humouring hearing it from him.

"Ughhh... It was going well... Then Athena got on top of me..." Apollo groaned. Maya practically spit out her coffee from laughing.

"The strength of that woman... She was basically doing all the work... Now it freaking hurts... Owwww..." Apollo winced in pain. Maya tried to hide her laughter, but to no avail. "I'm sure it's funny for you, Maya."

"It sure as hell is." Maya released all of her laughter. She could remember times back when she ran Phoenix dry twice over. She was always laughing at his pain in the morning.

"Where's Athena right now?" Apollo asked as he laid down on the sofa, coffee in hand.

"Taking a jog. You can go right now if you want." Maya said sarcastically.

"I'll... Pass, thanks."

The door opened up, and Athena stepped in, some light sweat on her forehead. Lenny jumped on Apollo, and he nearly spilt his coffee.

"Hey, boy... You enjoy your walk? I'm sure you di-OWWW DO NOT PUT YOUR PAW THERE PLEASE!" Apollo cried as the dog stepped on his groin, his tongue out as he panted, licking Apollos face. Athena burst into laughter, and Maya tried to hide her laughter, as she was the oldest in the room. Athena went over to make her own coffee, and Maya eventually spoke up.

"I'm going to see Edgeworth today, if any of you wanna come?" Maya asked.

"Defiantly! It's always great seeing Miles. I'm guessing he wants to speak with you specifically?" Athena asked Maya.

"Yeah, he would have a lot to ask. I'd bet my badge the first being 'Where is Phoenix?'" Maya stated.

"By the way, Maya, did you see everyone in court yesterday eyeing you like you had some sort of third eye?" Apollo asked, his dog still running circles around him.

"Yeah... I don't know why everyone hates me so much... I'm gonna try and get an answer to that as soon as possible." Maya answered.

Location: ? Time: ?

May 24, 2035

"Miss Fey, I'd like to invite you to my office tomorrow. We could have some tea and talk about a few things. I'm sure your life has been rather interesting these past five years."

"Sure thing! I'll drop in at about 9 in the morning."

"Good to hear. I'll see you then, Miss Fey"

Click.

A person had been listening to that entire conversation with the wiretap they had. Now they knew exactly where Maya was.

"Perfect..."

The person sat in a crappy apartment building, drinking vodka and thinking. This person has seen that Maya Fey had returned, and this person hated that she had risen from the dead.

"The witch is back..." This person had been given a task.

Kill Maya Fey.

The person stood up, and walked out of the apartment. This person had a gun store only a couple of blocks away, and they stepped into the gun store.

"Howdy! What would ya like to buy?" The clerk asked. The person scanned the line of guns, looking for the perfect one. They eventually pointed to one sitting in a glass container.

"Barrett M107a1? Good choice, pal! It'll be around $8,900, but it's a fine wea-" the clerk was cut off by the person slamming a roll of money on the desk, growling a few words.

"Give it to me. Now."

"Well, aren't you excited. You got a license?" The clerk asked. The person was getting impatient. They showed the clerk all the ID they had, and they were eventually given the rather large sniper rifle. They put it in the backpack they had, and walked outside and into an alleyway. They saw a ladder, and climbed the steel ladder on the side of a building. They eventually reached the high roof, and looked down to see the window of the Chief Prosecutors Office. They zipped open the backpack and pulled out the pieces of the sniper rifle. They put it all together, and eventually grabbed out a rather large clip. A laser pointer shot out of the weapon, and into the office. No one noticed it, however. "Great..."

Now all they had to do was wait.

Wait for the witch to walk into the door.

Wait to get the shot.

'Wait to blow that bitches brains out, once and for all...'

Café Marté

May 24, 2035, 8:30 AM

"You weren't kidding. That was some seriously good bacon." Maya said as her plate was taken away by a waitress.

"Told ya. We come here nearly every morning for breakfast. It's great." Athena told Maya. She nodded, smiling.

"So, looking forward to seeing Edgeworth today?" Athena asked. Maya nodded, leaning back in her seat, looking at the road beside her.

"Yeah... It'll be great. I can't imagine what the poor guys been through... Did you know Kay's a prosecutor now? I reckon it's a better choice than a thief to me." Maya told the other two. They were rather surprised.

"No! I guess she must be recent. It'll be so cool to face her in court!" Athena said.

"I personally can't wait for the day where I face Edgeworth in court." Maya said. Apollo horns dropped down.

"I remember looking forward to facing Miles," Apollo started, "then after the trial I had against him, I never wanted to his face again."

Maya chuckled a little bit. "Yeah, he's a friend, then inside court he's a complete twat. Speaking of Miles, I think we should go visit him now. Let's go." Maya said as she got up and walked over to the prosecutors office. Apollo and Athena followed after her.

"So, when do you reckon my next case will be?" Maya asked.

"A common trait in the Justice Law Agency is that cases show up in the most unexpected places. Don't expect a murder case every time, though. You do get boring crap every now and then." Apollo told Maya.

"All I've seen you two handle are murder cases. So excuse me if I find that hard to believe." Maya joked. The prosecutors office wasn't that far away, and the three eventually stood in front of the large building. They entered, ready to see some familiar faces. It didn't take long until they saw a oh too familiar one.

"G-G... Gumshoe?!"

The old detective walked over to Maya. "Hey, pal! Where've ya been?!" Dick cheered as Maya pulled him in for a hug. Gumshoe had a thick beard, and it suited him quite well. The 49 year old man had aged quite well, and lived a rather happy life. A man stood behind Gumshoe, watching him intensely.

"Long story... Who's this?" Maya asked. Behind Gumshoe stood a rather grey man with a jacket that looked to have bullet holes in the jacket he held behind him. He seem to have an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

"Oh, this is Tyrell Badd, my supervisor. Say hi!" Gumshoe told Badd.

"...Hey." He spoke in a gruff deep voice.

"I've heard about you. Aren't you part of a Yatagarasu or something?" Athena asked. Badd reached into his jacket, glaring at Athena. Apollo walked in front of Athena.

"Hey! Don't threaten Athena like that!" Apollo argued. Badd, however, wasn't reaching for a weapon like they thought. He was instead reaching for a mirror to inspect his face. "Oh..."

"You heard right, kid... I'm still under government watch... But I still work at the department... What're you kids doing here?" Tyrell asked.

'Kid... Great.' "We're here to visit Mr. Edgeworth." Maya told Tyrell.

Badd grabbed the unlit cigarette in his mouth, and pulled it out to reveal a lollipop instead. Apollo sprung back. "That's a lollipop?!"

"Edgeworth is upstairs... Twelfth floor... Can't miss 'im" Badd told the three.

"Thanks." Maya said as she made her way towards the elevator. Apollo and Athena stepped in after her. Maya pushed the 12 button with her thumb, and the elevator started to rise.

"Here we go... Let's see what Edgeworth is like."

The elevator rang out a ding, and the doors opened. The three stepped out, and walked towards the Chief office. Even the door was quite grand, and Maya knocked on it three times.

"It's unlocked." A female voice chirped from the other side. Maya opened the door, and saw Miles Edgeworth signing some paperwork, with Kay Faraday sitting in a sofa in the back, next to the window. Miles looked up, and smiled.

"Miss Fey. It's great to see you again." Miles got up to give Maya a handshake. She didn't take, instead wrapping both arms around Miles tightly.

"Great to see you too, Edgeworth." Maya unwrapped Miles, and planted a soft kiss on his cheek. He kept his composure, moving his hand to two sofas facing each other, and a wooden coffee table in between them.

"Hey, Maya!" Kay chirped out, hugging the attorney. Maya returned the hug. "Hey, Kay."

Maya saw the clean prosecutors badge pinned to her chest. "So you really are a prosecutor, huh? Looks great on you!" Maya said. Kay ran her finger under her nose, grinning.

"Thanks! I only got it just last week, and I'm still waiting on my first case, but I'm looking forward to it! Maybe it'll be against you, Miss Fey!" Kay said cockily. Maya slightly laughed.

"Maybe."

Maya sat down in one of the comfortable sofa chairs as Miles poured a cup of tea for her. Apollo and Athena inspected the room, and took note at just how neat it was compared to their agency.

"So, Miss Fey, let's talk. I have one question first, however. I'm sorry to ask, but do you know where Wright is?" Miles asked. Maya sighed sadly.

"Sorry, Mr. Edgeworth, but no... He left me, just as he left everyone else. I have no idea where he could be." Edgeworth nodded, keeping his cool.

"Thank you, Miss Fey. Now tell me, what have you been doing these last five years?" Edgeworth asked, taking a sip of his tea.

"Studying. I went to Themis..."

The sniper saw Maya enter the room, and knew it was time. They picked up the sniper rifle, and aimed it at her. They were ready to take the shot, but was blocked when the girl with what appeared to be a key in her hair walked in front of their sights, hugging Maya.

"Godammit, move..."

Maya was eventually free, but she immediately moved out of sight towards the left side of the office. The sniper cursed themselves, but knew she'd come back into sight at some point.

"Just gotta be patient... She'll be dead in no time... And her blood will be painted on that wall."

"So, I go to the agency, they hire me and I get my first case the next day! Now I'm here."

Edgeworth nodded, smiling slightly. "Glad to hear you're back on track. I wish Wright were here, too... I'm sure he'd be proud of you." Edgeworth said. Maya snorted, rolling her eyes.

"The prick doesn't give a shit what I do. He only cares about himself." Maya said. Athena gave a concerned look to Maya. 'That wasn't exactly what you told me the other day...'

"You are not on good terms with Wright? Why's that?" Edgeworth asked.

"Mmph..." Maya hated this subject. She had never talked about it before, nor did she plan to today. "I'm sorry, Mr. Edgeworth... I... He left so suddenly... He abandoned me, you, Apollo, Athena... And Trucy... I can never forgive him for that."

Edgeworth was surprised, but kept calm. "I can understand, but if he does come back, could you at least forgive him then?" Miles asked. Maya slightly twitched. She just wanted this subject to end.

"Miss Fey? Please answer me... I know you care about Wright." Miles said.

That did it.

Maya slowly lowered her tea to the table, shaking. "C-c-can we end this subject..?"

Miles shook his head. "Miss Fey, I need to know-"

"NO! YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT FUCKING PRICK!" Maya screamed. "You NEVER cared about him, just like how he never cared about us! He left me! That fucker ruined everything! Do you understand, you British shit?! He's gone, I don't know where he is, and I don't want him back, nor am I EVER FORGIVING HIM! Now STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM!"

Maya stood up, panting from her massive outburst. Surprisingly, everyone had a calm look on their faces, especially Edgeworth.

"You've been building that up for five years now?" Edgeworth asked. Maya sighed loudly and slowly sat back down.

"Y-yeah... I'm so, so, so sorry... You can kick me out if you want..." Maya hoarsely whispered.

"Don't be a fool. You needed that. I cannot blame you." Miles told Maya.

"Thank you, Mr. Edgeworth..."

"You alright, Maya?" Kay asked. Maya sighed, and eventually smiled at the girl.

"Yeah... Thanks for not thinking I'm a psychopath."

"Miss Fey, I have something for you. Please come to my desk." Edgeworth said as he stood up. Maya followed him, and he reached into his desk drawer and pulled out something.

"I've been meaning to give this to you whenever you came back. Feel free to accept or refuse it." Miles said as he handed her a photo. Maya took it, and studied it.

She could remember that photo.

Quite well actually...

Gatewater Land

March 13, 2019, 12:20 PM

"Wow, Nick! You really kept your promise!"

Phoenix, Maya and Pearl sat in a small boat, while Phoenix rowed as they looked at the sights before them. The water stretched out a long way, but in the distance was a city. In the other direction was Gatewater Land. It had only been a month since the trial of Iris, and after having nearly lost Maya for the fourth time now, Phoenix decided it was time for them to actually do something together. He remembered a promise that he made, that he would take Maya on a boat.

He kept that promise, and the spirit medium couldn't be happier.

"Hey, I'm not one to break trust. I'm sure Pearls is enjoying this just as much as you are."

Pearl was staring deeply into the water, looking at the fish below them. "Wooow! They look so beautiful! Hey, Mr. Nick!"

Phoenix turned his head to look at Pearl. "Hm?"

"It's said that couples that cross this bridge," Pearl pointed towards a rather fancy looking bridge, "will find happiness together!" Pearl put hands on her cheek. "Does that mean you and Mystic Maya will find the real everlasting love between you?"

Phoenix felt sweat dripping from his forehead. "Pearls..."

Maya slightly giggled. "It is gonna be the last time I see you for a while, Nick. Savour the moment, for you shall not see my beauty for a long period of time starting tomorrow!"

Although Phoenix laughed, he couldn't help but feel a punch to his gut. Maya was going back to Kurain, but Phoenix didn't want her to leave again.

'Why is that damn training so important to her? She's never happy there...'

"Hey, is that Mr. Edgeworth on that bridge over there?! Hey, Edgeworth! Look over here!" Maya screamed.

"Maya! Keep it down!" Phoenix sharply whispered. Miles seemed to in deep thought about something, but Phoenix could never figure out what. There's just be moment where'd he go arms crossed, eyes closed, and think. Then in about 30 seconds, he's figured out some sort of solution to the case.

'Not as bad as literally seeing the secrets of someone's heart but still... Gotta hand it to the guy, he's genius.'

Meanwhile, Miles stood at the bridge, and Kay watched Miles as he put piece and piece together.

"Hmm... I don't really see a connection between these two bits of information..." Edgeworth muttered to himself.

"Umm, Mr. Edgeworth? You've been-"

"Silence, Kay. I'm using logic." Edgeworth cut her off. Kay sighed. 'You've been using logic the last 5 minutes and you've found nothing!'

Phoenix pushed the paddles against the water, advancing back to shore. They eventually reached it, and Phoenix stepped off the boat. He reached out a hand, and Maya took it as he pulled her up to shore. He also leaned down, and picked up Pearl, bringing her to shore.

"I think we should really capture this moment, Nick. It's gonna be the last we see of each other for a while." Maya said sadly. Phoenix sighed, nodding. "Okay..."

Maya pulled out her pink phone, and turned on the front camera, getting her, Phoenix and Pearl in one shot. She pressed the camera button, and a timer started. Pearl put on her cutest smile, and Phoenix slightly grinned. Just when the timer was at one, Maya looked at Phoenix, and planted her lips on his cheek. He sprung up in shock, just when the sound of the picture being taken sounded.

Chief Prosecutors Office

May 24, 2035, 9:20 AM

Maya held the photo. On the left stood Pearl, smiling towards the camera. On the right, Phoenix had a shocked look on his face as Maya kissed his right cheek. She looked so happy doing so, too. Maya stared at that photo for about a minute, before she saw a tear drop fall on to it. She didn't even realise she had been crying over the photo. She held the photo to her chest, before placing it in her pocket.

"Thank you so much, Miles..."

Kay stood next to the window, watching the two. She couldn't help but smile herself. Apollo and Athena smiled at Maya as well.

Then Edgeworth noticed something.

On Maya's forehead, he saw a red dot.

"What the..."

Miles looked behind him, and past the window, on the roof of the building opposite of his, he saw the unmistakable glint of a sniper scope.

Kay also noticed this, and gasped. The two had a realisation at the exact same time.

"Maya! MOVE!" Edgeworth cried.

"Huh?" Maya then noticed the shine of a sniper scope aimed right at her head. Maya tried to move, but her legs were completely frozen. 'No! Godammit, no!'

Edgeworth stood up, in an attempt to get to Maya before the sniper does. Apollo grabbed Athena and pulled her away from the window, before charging towards Maya to save her.

Then, they heard the crack of the sniper rifle being fired.

Everything seemed to have gone slow motion for Maya. Edgeworth's papers spreading everywhere as he stood up. Apollo running towards Maya. Her breathing quickening. Her heart pounding. Her legs refusing to move.

But, it would not be Apollo Justice nor Miles Edgeworth who would save Maya.

Maya felt a weight in her right side, and she was shoved to the floor. She turned around, and saw that the person who had shoved her was the person who put herself in Maya's position.

Maya could only watch, as the person who saved her stood in her position.

Maya could only watch, as the window shattered when the bullet entered.

Maya could only watch, as the sniper bullet burst through Kay Faradays chest.

The sniper bullet punched into Kay's ribs, piercing through her right lung. The impact of the bullet launched her, causing Kay to hit the wall behind her. She then slid down, and slumped over, her breathing forced and barely active.

Through the blurs of color, the echoes of panicked crowds outside, she could only hear one thing. A desperate cry from Edgeworth.

"KAAAAY!"

"Sir, was... Was that a sniper shot?" Gumshoe asked Tyrell. He looked outside, and saw crowds clearing the streets, running off in random directions. Tyrell nodded, before hearing a desperate cry from above.

"Kaaaay!"

Badd completely froze. He couldn't even move, nor could Gumshoe. Tyrell's eyes bulged, before he finally started running towards the stairs. Gumshoe followed after him.

'No... No, she can't be...'

Badd sprinted up every single step, eventually reaching the twelfth floor. He sprinted towards Edgeworths office, and charged through it.

"Kay?! Are you alright?!" Gumshoe asked in panic.

Then, they saw her...

She was slumped over, leaning against the back wall. Her breathing was heavy. Edgeworth was covering her bullet wound, and Maya was calling the ambulance.

"No... No, no, NO! Kay!" Badd screamed. He ran over kneeling down to Kay.

"U-U-Uncle... B-Badd..." She forcefully croaked out.

"You're gonna be alright!" Gumshoe ran over to her.

Little did they know, Kays life was draining away.

She wasn't going to live, and she knew that.

"G-Gummy... It... It hurts... S-so much..." Kay whimpered out. Badd frantically tried to help her, but her breaths were fading.

"Kay, stay with me! Please!" Tyrell begged. Kay looked up at the three men gathered around her, and muttered her final words.

"I... I-I love... You... all..."

Kays head slumped over, and her breathing stopped.

"Kay?! Kay!" Edgeworth cried as he shook Kays body.

"Kay?! Please, don't... No..." Gumshoe croaked out.

Kay Faraday wasn't breathing. Her heart wasn't beating. She wasn't living.

No, this can't be happening.

Badd didn't want to believe it. Edgeworth never wanted to believe it. Gumshoe refused to believe it

Lying in front of them, slumped on a back wall, was Kay Faradays dead body.
