We are nearing the end! I plan to have three more chapters, but those are going to have some of the biggest plot twists in the entire series, I'll let you guys have a hint, the culprit is someone we've already met :D -Darkblah
Episode 3: Turnabout Colors
Part 4-2: Trial
Abigail: This is about Zak?
Apollo: Yes, I would like you to testify about where you were when you woke up in the crime scene.
Mak: (What is he doing?)
Apollo: (Don't object Mak, I'm trying to help...)
Witness Testimony:
I woke up but...
There is something I haven't told you...
I actually woke up twice...
The first time, I saw the explosion coming towards me...
Then, I lost consciousness again...
Then, I woke up in this weird room, the door was locked...
But I somehow, I escaped...
Which is where I met Yako, Apollo's friend...
Abigail: There's my testimony...
Apollo: Thank you, now it's my turn.
Mak: (I hope you can do this...)
Cross-Examination:
I woke up but...
There is something I haven't told you...
I actually woke up twice...
The first time, I saw the explosion coming towards me...
Apollo: Hold it! How did you survive?
Abigail: I... I don't know...
Apollo: (Should I press harder? No... This isn't what I'm looking for...) Please continue...
Then, I lost consciousness again...
Then, I woke up in this weird room, the door was locked...
Apollo: Hold it! Do you have any idea how you got into this room?
Abigail:...Sorry, nothing comes to mind...
Apollo:...Hm...Continue.
But I somehow, I escaped...
Apollo: Hold it! If the door was locked, how did you escape?
Abigail: That's the weird part, I have no idea how I got out, I just did...
Apollo: (Is that the same room 'Zak' and I tried to get into?) What did the door look like?
Abigail: Huh?
Apollo: I'm asking you did the door have a certain design.
Abigail: Oh... um... All I remember of the door is how the knob looked...
Apollo: What did it look like?
Judge: Mr. Justice, where is this line of questioning going?
Apollo: Just trust me, your honor.
Abigail: Well, it seemed like nothing even hit it, like if it was just replaced...
Apollo:...! (Just like the door knob on the door 'Zak' and I tried to open!) I'd like this added to the testimony!
Abigail:...Right...
The door knob looked as if nothing hit it...
Apollo: Objection! How is the door knob still there if the explosion went off?!
Mak: Objection! This isn't the reason for the testimony!
Apollo: Objection! This has everything to do with the testimony!
Mak: How?!
Apollo: When I was investigating, I found a door, locked, with a door knob without any damage on it!
Mak: What's the purpose?!
Apollo: Maybe Zak is in there!
Mak: Wh-What?! Why didn't the police find this door?!
Apollo: (...She has a point, why didn't the police find the door?!) I... Don't have an answer for that question...
Mak: Just when I thought there was an answer to where Zak is...
Apollo: (...If we prove Abigail innocent... Zak would be trapped! If we prove Zak innocent... Abigail would be trapped! We're stuck in between a rock and a hard place...)
Mak: First, everybody betrays me except for Zak, Abigail, and you, Apollo...
Apollo: Hm...?
Mak: And now I'm going to lose the only other family I have!
Apollo:...
Mak: Why did Zak run?
Apollo: (Run? No... He isn't one to run...)
Mak: Zak! Why did you run!
Apollo: Objection!
Mak: Huh?
Apollo: Zak didn't run!
Mak: Then where is he?!
Apollo: There's only one possibility! Behind that door!
Mak:...
Apollo:... (What's wrong?)
Mak: Your honor...
Judge: You want the bailiff to inform the police department?
Mak: Yes... and I want Apollo, the defendant, and I to come with them...
Judge: Any objections?
Apollo: None at all.
Mak: Then let's get over there!
August 6th
The Destroyed Factory
11:34 AM
Mak: Here we are...
Apollo: The door is over there!
Mak: Detective Chili!
Chili: H-huh?
Mak: Get the police officers to find the keys to that door!
Chili: W-What if we can't find it?
Mak: Then... I don't know...
Apollo: Then break down the door!
Mak: Huh?
Apollo: That's a last resort, only do it if you don't find the keys...
Chili: Y-Yes sir!
Mak: Just so you know... I'm the only one that gives her commands...
Apollo: That doesn't matter... besides, she still followed my orders!
Mak: Tch... By the way Apollo...
Apollo: Huh?
Mak: I hope I get another chance to go against you in court, it was quite fun yelling higher than you...
Apollo: Me too...
Chili: Sir! We couldn't find the keys!
Apollo: Then it's time for the last resort!
Chili: Break down the door?
Mak and Apollo: Break down the door!
Chili: Three... Two... One... Go!
Blash!
Chili: Mak... Apollo... You might wanna see this!
Apollo: Hm... What?! (I knew it! The fake 'Zak' lied to me!)
Mak: No... Why?!
Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!
