Luke: What are you talking about?
Arianna: GO!
Luke: Whay are you doing this? Arianna, we both know you're not a witch!
Sonic: You two know eachother?
Arianna: Luke and I were friends before all this happened.
Luke: Arianna, we're still friends! I don't think you're a witch!
flashback
We open at a small party where Luke was sitting all alone.
Arianna: Adults talk about the most boring things. All they talk about is politics and the weather, too! Let's get out of here.
She then grabbed Luke's hand and rushed out with him to see a beautiful arrangement of stars.
Luke: Wow.
Arianna: Amazing, right? Looking up at the stars reminds me not to take things so seriously. Sometimes, the world can seem so big and scary.
Luke: I know. But we're all so small when you think about it.
Arianna: I'm Arianna. Maybe you and I could be friends. Deal?
Luke then shook her hand.
Luke: My name is Luke. Luke Triton.
Then a shooting star flew by.
Arianna: Did you see that Luke?
Luke: What did you wish for?
end flashback
Luke: Arianna, you're not a witch! Stop saying that!
Arianna: Luke, I am cursed. Everyone has a right to fear me.
Luke: Arianna.
Then Seamus came in.
Seamus: What the? How did you whippersnippers get in here? Miss Arianna, are you all right? Out! All of you! Before I call yer mommies and daddies!
Layton: Everyone, come. Let's go.
They soon left the building.
Ulrich: That could have gone better.
Orihime: Why was her attitude so severe?
Luke: I can answer that. Arianna is very sick.
Renji: She looked fine to me.
Layton: Let discuss this somewhere else.
They were soon outside away from Barde Manor.
Luke: I learned she first had it from her dad at that party. He said even the best doctors couldn't do anything. That's probably why she shuts herself inside the house.
Tails: It really doesn't help if people think she's a witch. Even herself.
Layton: Then let's prove her wrong.
meanwhile behind Barde Manor...
Flux: Keep digging!
Ian: I am.
Flux: I don't get it. I was positive it would be here. Then again, maybe we're searching in all the wrong places. I'll search the house, you search the lake.
Ian: But that witch is still in there.
Flux: Please. I don't believe in witches. Just facts. We'll both search the house as soon as they leave.
Ian: Got it.
meanwhile the group questioned random citizens about Arianna being a witch. But had no proff until...
Voice: Well I'll be. Its the heroes.
They turned to a familiar group of creatures.
Heroes: Team Crusader?
Krokorok: In the flesh. I hear you were asking about the witch. Well your in luck, one of my boys saw something very interesting. Bastiodon?
Bastiodon: I was looking for clues about the Golden Garden when I saw an old man paint a strange mark on a house's door.
Shun: The witch's mark.
Bastiodon: Anyway, I was tailing him to the market, but lost him.
Layton: Thank you. I think I have the solution now. What are we trying to do?
Ichigo: Clear Arianna's name.
Bastiodon: He then got in a boat and went back to that mansion. And he was a boy form Highyard Hill.
Layton: Good. Now what was found near the mark?
Bastiodon: All that was there was a candy wrapper.
Layton: Correct. I think we better head back to Barde Manor to show you.
They soon went back to Barde Manor to see Arianna and Seamus by the lake.
Arianna: Go away! I cannot be held responsible for what happens.
Layton: Arianna, you are not cursed. The calamity witch is a myth. It was created to protect you. And the one behind this is you there young man.
Seamus then looked surprised.
Layton: He was the one who painted the witch's mark on homes of people who spoke ill of you. Sir, could you take the mask off?
He then took off the mask to reveal a small boy.
Arianna: Tony.
Emmy: Tony?
Tony: I couldn't forgive the people who were mean to my sister.
Arianna: Tony?! What have you done?!
Snorunt: How did you know?
Layton: In the house we saw photos of Arianna with a small boy, but he was nowhere to be seen, although we saw many signs of his presence.
Arianna: We just wanted to be left alone. We don't want people to fear us.
Robin:Now tell us about the Specter's Flute.
Arianna: I don't know anything about that.
Luke: Arianna, please. You don't have to be afraid anymore.
Arianna: You don't know anything about me! I already told you, I don't know anything about a flute. Now leave.
Luke: If you want us to leave, we'll leave.
Odd: We will?!
Layton: Everyone, let's go.
They soon left the two.
Emmy: Luke,perhaps you should tell us what Arianna is so afraid of.
Luke: You mean the specter?
William: Go ahead Luke.
Luke: The specter can destroy the very fabric of our families, i t ruins not just our houses, but our homes. When we become filled with fear, our hearts go cold. And I fear that has already happened... The specter has been a part of Misthallery for generations. It hears all. Its listening to us now. And under the fog of its powers, the keepers of the town become nothing more than pawns. Like my father. Mr. Layton, your everything I thought you would be. I am so glad I chose to seek help from people outside of Misthallery. You all have not disappointed me. The specter...the witch.. Mr. Barde...This is all happening so fast.
flashback
We open to a crimescene with the body of Mr. Barde covered and Arianna sobbing.
Arianna: Why papa? Why did you leave us? Why?
various shady people: Glad he's gone...good riddence...you reap what you sow...disgusting...he deserved it.
Arianna: No!
Luke: Arianna? Arianna, are you all right? Is there anything I can do?
Arianna: Don't touch me! Go away! Go back to your nice family and your perfect little house. I hate you! I hate everyone! Just go and leave me alone. I mean it, Luke.
end flashback
Luke: Aianna was never the same after that day. It wasn't long before the specter began to appear. Ever since tat day, it has been as if Misthallery was cursed. People have been getting sick. My mother disappeared.
Rukia: Disappeared? What do you mean?
Luke: My father says she is is traveling, but she wouldn't just go on a trip without telling me. He's under the power of the specter, I know he is! The specter will take over the heart and soul of everyone in town.
Layton: I sensed Clark's unease when we arrived. Luke, I believe the specter has these powers you describe. It seems that all of it began with Mr. Barde's passing. We will have to access the police reports. Luke, I promise I will solve the mystery that plagues this town. And I always keep my promises. That is the duty of an English gentleman. Now let's make a visit to the police station.
They soon arrived to the local police station.
Chippe: How may I help you?
Layton: My name is Hershel Layton and we are investigating the specter. I need to look at some records.
Chippe: The chief is out investigating the specter too. Can't show ya nothing til he gets back. Sorry, but its standard policy. Check the archives at Scotland Yard.
Layton: I have a feeling when the chief gets back he won't show us anything.
Emmy: Professor, I'll go to London and find the record. Anyone want to come? My scooter seats three.
Aelita: I'll come.
Tails: So will I.
They soon got to the scooter and drove off while someone watched from the bushes.
Flux: This is my oppurtunity for some prevenge before the revenge. Hope they like roadkill, cause that's what they'll be when I'm done.
He got into a random car, hotwired it and drove after them. meanwhile back in another se of bushes.
Volt: We can't let him kill them before we're finished. Lync, we must pursue.
Lync: Right.
They got into a motorcycle and drove after them.
