September 22 7:00 A.M. International Space Station
Phoenix woke up in a daze. He lifted his head and looked around the room. He felt sticky. He then found Maya, who was half-dressed and lying in her sleeping bag. Phoenix got up and lugged the medium out of her sleeping quarters and got some pants on her. She then woke up all of a sudden and said, "Oh! Hi, Nick! How is it going?" Phoenix replied, "I feel like a Toaster Strudel icing session gone wrong." Maya then inched herself and replied, "The same. We should seriously take a shower; not together of course."
Maya then told the attorney, "Nick! Here's a song I made up!
Oh... Nick got run over by a reindeer
Walking from the District Court on Christmas Eve!
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Edgeworth, we believe!
Hee hee. Quite funny, ain't it?" Phoenix sweated and replied, "Sure, what ever." "Anyway," Phoenix alerted, "we should get ready for today's trial." The two then found Detective Gumshoe searching the floor frantically. They asked him, "What's with the floor searching, Detective?" He then replied, "Hey pal!", directing his attention to Phoenix, "I found some substantial evidence." Maya got very excited and asked, "Where? What is this evidence?". The detective then lifted up a bag that was used commonly in hospitals for IV medication. It was filled almost completely with blood. "This," said Detective Gumshoe, "is the blood of Chanler Harding." "It will determine if he died from a lack of oxygen or died due to other causes." Phoenix followed with, "Sounds good."
However, as they walked away, Miles arrived and said, "Today, it's croissants, fruit, and cereal for breakfast. Enjoy." He handed the two their meals and backed away. As soon as the prosecutor was out of earshot, Maya said, "Nick, do you know what I just realized?" Phoenix then asked, "What?" Maya then whispered, "Miles Edgworth can't make croissants for... you know what I'm talking about, don't you?" Phoenix immediately started to laugh very hard and turned red as the two ate the rest of their breakfast.
September 22 9:35 A.M. Defendant Lobby No. 3
Maya and Phoenix met with their client just as Pearl entered the lobby. She said, "Mystic Maya, maybe you should act as the defense for today." Maya immediately reacted with, "Well, OK, as long as the Judge is fine with it." Meanwhile, Howard began to explain his situation with those around him. "I know there is some conspiracy going on in this case, and I can feel it!" After a short bout of talking, the PA system blared, "Will the defendant and his attorney, in addition to his staff enter the courtroom?" Maya then told Phoenix, "Nick! Don't worry about me! I've seen you do this lots of times! I know what to do!"
September 22 10:00 A.M. Courtroom No. 3
After a period of random chatter, the judge smashed his gavel against the panel. "Court is now in session for the trial of Mr. Howard Hughes.", he said. Edgeworth said his usual "The prosecution is ready, Your Honor.", but then it was the defense's turn. Maya then piped up and spoke. "The defense is ready, Your Honor.", she said. The judge then asked, "Mr. Wright, what is the meaning of this? Why is your accomplice talking for you?" Phoenix replied, "Maybe it would be beneficial for her to get some court experience." Miles Edgeworth then declared, "The prosecution calls Detective Dick Gumshoe to the stand."
Detective Gumshoe stood up and said, "May it please the court. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a very interesting piece of evidence to show." He then carried with it a very complex and jargon-filled testimony which only Albert Einstein seemed to understand remotely. Maya then got a brave face and said, "Your Honor, I will commence my cross-examination." Secretly, Maya felt her armpits become sweaty and her stomach felt like it was on a roller coaster. "This bag was found in a secret compartment in the Unity Node," he said. "This bag if blood is indeed blood." Maya then yelled out, "Hold it!" "Are you sure that it is filled with blood?" Detective Gumshoe then replied with, "We did basic tests and found that it was blood, specifically AB. Quite rare, I must say." He continued his testimony.
"This blood is a darker red than usual, which means that it was dehydrated before it was stored." Maya then exclaimed, "Igiari! Er... Objection!"
"Detective, are you certain that the blood is lacking adequate moisture?" The detective then answered, "Certainly. Absolutely. No if's, and's or but's about it." "Detective," she started. She slammed her hands down in the table, just as Phoenix did."In space, there is no way in which the water in the blood could have evaporated! At best, the blood could have been tampered with and mixed with dark red food coloring! How do you explain this?". He shook and said, "Well, I was mistaken then."
"Anyways, Your Honor, could I order lunch perhaps?", asked Detective Gumshoe carefully. "Well, I don't see a reason why not.", replied the judge. "I would like a hamburger with straw, chicken manure, and agricultural gypsum." The whole court then uproared and exclaimed, "Who eats stuff like that?" When the food was delivered, the judge said, "All right, Detective. You've got your nasty meal. Eat it." However, the detective replied, "I'm not going to ingest this meal," he said. He then pointed to Maya and continued. "You're going to eat it." Maya then screamed. "What?! Are you kidding me? No way I'm eating that!" Detective Gumshoe then explained to Maya, "That's not a hamburger with straw, chicken manure, and agricultural gypsum!" She then said, "OK then, Detective!"
She took an enormous bite and began eating it. Then, halfway through chewing it, she expelled the half-eaten meal in disgust. Gumshoe immediately fell down laughing and Maya exploded, "DETECTIVE!" He then said, "Sorry, Maya. We didn't have any straw, so we used hay instead." She then spit out even more material and then the judge yelled, "Get off the stand, Detective! I've had enough of your incompetence for the day!"
Miles then said, "In yesterday's trial, it was revealed that Jacob White was receiving secondhand information from the business Backhand Motors. It produces automobiles and other car supplies. At this time, the prosecution calls Franziska von Karma to the stand."
Ms. von Karma then stated her testimony and relaxed. Maya, on the other hand, was shaky and nervous as the cross-examination started. "I established Backhand Motors to counter the cost of being an attorney. I developed a good company, so I decided to contact NASA about a possibility of space flight."
Maya yelled, "Hold it!" "Why did you believe you were entitled to space flight?" The attorney replied, "I had produced over $1,000,000 in profits! It was only natural to!" Maya then sighed and thought to herself, "Well, I guess Nick was right. Having the surname 'von Karma' gives you a free pass to be arrogant and highly annoying." Franziska continued. "So I sent Jacob White into space. When Chanler Harding was killed, it was his job to prevent me from becoming a suspect or him being charged, so he told his testimony just as I told him to!" Maya then screamed, "Objection!"
"If Jacob White was one of your employees, how could you become suspect? After all, why was Jacob White having to prevent himself from being charged?" Franziska replied, "To prevent me from being sucked in to a trap! We must not soil von Karma blood!" Maya then announced to the court, "If this is true, than Jacob White is a conspirator!"
Miles Edgeworth grimaced and blurted, "Wha?!". The jury roared in chatter and the judge banged his gavel three times. "Order! Order in the court!", he stated. Suddenly, The court room door burst open. In the dust cloud near the door was none other than Lotta Hart.
"Your Honor," she screamed, "I have very disturbing news to reveal to you." The judge then shook and asked, "What is this information we need to hear?". She replied, "Jacob White has committed suicide!" The judge's eyes opened very wide. Edgeworth jumped. Maya yelled out, "Mama mia!". The jury roared out in amazement once more. "How did he do such a thing?", asked Phoenix in awe. Lotta explained, "He put magnets on his feet and the floor and hanged himself!"
The judge banged his gavel. "We will now summarize today's trial. We found that we have tampered evidence on our hands. We also know that a witness has killed himself.", he said. He then banged the gavel again. "And with that, court is adjourned!"
September 22 2:22 P.M. International Space Station
Phoenix asked Maya, "I am a bit curious about your sister's funeral. Can you tell me about it?". Maya replied, "Sure. At the funeral, which took place after Redd White was executed, Mia's body was dressed in her best attorney's uniform and was placed in an oak casket. The inside was lined with a purple polyester lining. He uniform was black and had purple on it in some areas. She was buried in a cemetery inside Kurian. Her gravestone is made out of granite and contains writing which is etched on the front in English and the back in Japanese.
It reads: MIA FEY
BORN APRIL 2, 1989
DIED SEPTEMBER 5, 2016
MIA DIED WITHOUT SUFFERING BY BEING MURDERED BY A GREEDY TYRANT, WHOM HAS CAUSED MANY GREAT PAIN. And that is all there is to it.", she told. "Mia was the best sister in the whole world; we never fought, we never argued, and we were great family members."
Phoenix then saw tears forming in her eyes. Maya then sniffed loudly and streams of tears travelled down her face. "I mean... why did she have to be a victim?", she asked herself. She then pulled out her cell phone and listened to the last time she heard her sister's voice. She held it to her face and listened. After the call ended, she put her phone back in her pocket and wept some more.
Phoenix then said, "Maya, don't be like this forever." He then hugged Maya. Maya immediately felt a vague sensation of happiness wash over her. She then told Phoenix, "Um... Nick, you are getting a little intimate with me for being in public." He immediately let go and asked, "What do you mean by that, Maya?" She answered, "You were getting awfully close to my boobs, Nick." Phoenix became red in the face and said, "Um... thanks for telling me. I bet that we should head off to lunch at this time." Maya answered, "I bet we should." As they travelled towards the luncheon, Maya asked herself, "Can I maintain a relationship with Nick? I mean, he's cute. I wonder if he would make a good husband... but I probably wouldn't marry him for at least another two years."
