Kaede Akamatsu's P.O.V.
We saw NJ left the living room in a rush as we followed him.
"NJ, wait up!" Shuichi called.
And then, we met Shane and Klavier but with their 'getting stabbed by the katana's pose. Although, the katana has no blade, only a handle that she held.
"Help! This brat stabbed me," Klavier panicked.
"Hardy har har... You weren't stabbed, Prosecutor Gavin. Plus, why you called Rhianne a brat, even though, you never called her like that?" Ms. Skye asked with her serious tone. She knew about Shane's and Klavier's friendship.
"Only we saw are your poses. I see no blade on Shane's handle," Kiyo noticed as Angie took a picture.
"What?! Sincerely that you're blind," Klavier growled.
Out of the blue, a flash of light appeared Apollo, Alro, Nahyuta and Kokichi at the other side.
"Apollo! Help me out!" Klavier yelled.
Apollo glanced at Klavier as he looked at their position. "I don't know if I'm right but who are you? Why you possessed Klavier?"
"That's Kristoph Gavin. His motive is to erase your existence and Mr. Wright. He used his own brother as a disguise by entering the party. The real Mr. Klavier supposed to watch our performance but Kristoph possessed him and focused his crime. He had Mr. Wright's number and changed the SIM card as an anonymous," NJ answered correctly.
"Kristoph Gavin? Are they brothers?" I asked.
"Yes, they were. They have the same hairstyles but different clothes and Kristoph wore eyeglasses. As NJ knew the attacker, that means he brought the black cloak and a knife from the kitchen because it's near the ballroom. After he ambushed Mr. Wright, Mr. Payne witnessed the black culprit by hiding at the bathroom. Kristoph hid the black cloak and knife under the sofa at the library and met Apollo, "Shuichi explained.
"Likewise, I also witnessed him as he made Apollo heartbroken. Apollo and I went to the library to talk about it as the lights went out. When I heard Kokichi's voice, I activated the Spirit Card to send Apollo to the Spirit Realm for safety and I got stabbed instead," Nahyuta continued.
"It's all thanks to me and Alro. If we weren't there, Apollo might get killed. Since Nahyuta, Alro and I can't turn on the lights, Apollo is the one to turn it on. In Spirit Realm, he can hunt things, like supernatural phenomena," Kokichi grinned cheerfully as he put his hands on the back of his head.
"Guess he exited to the library's window and entered the living room's window by walking to the rails on the wall. That's why I saw the hand print," NJ added.
"Oh! I didn't notice there," Angie surprised.
"As for the black cloak and the lighter, I guessed that he burned the black cloak and threw it out of the living room because he held the bloodied knife. And then, he threw the lighter in the trash can. He didn't wear his gloves but he tried to frame Klavier," I added.
"Perhaps he has the eyeglasses in his pocket the whole time. Only to remove him is to throw his eyeglasses so that the possession halted. However, he can't get out of the palace because Alro, Kokichi, Maki and I put purified salt and Alro's spell. That's why the ghost trapped," Kiyo stated.
"Kristoph, get out of Klavier's body now!" Apollo shouted.
Then, I heard Kristoph's respond is a chuckle. "You can't force me, Apollo. They don't believe about the supernatural. I can lie all I want that I blamed myself as my pathetic brother," he smirked.
"I guess we brought you to the Hall of Justice here. They believe in supernatural and spirits. Apollo will be Klavier's lawyer and Nahyuta as the prosecutor. Although, we don't need the Séance because Mr. Wright and Nahyuta are still alive and witnessed your crime as Kristoph Gavin... I realized that after your execution, Kuya Klavi took your eyeglasses as a memento," Shane stated sadly. She felt bad that the Gavin brothers are having a bad blood.
"I see... That's why he regretted it as he took it and lied about his eye problem," NJ nodded.
"Right now, I'll get you out of Kuya Klavi's body and lock you into the ghost thermos!" Shane shouted outrageously. She slashed as Kristoph's spirit removed from Klavier's body.
NJ took out the ghost thermos that we borrowed from Danny. Suddenly, Shane was strangled as we witnessed it. "Shane!" NJ shocked.
Shane was holding something on her neck as she rose up, like she was hanging by the rope. And then, Kiyo sprinkled a hand of purified salt. As a result, Shane fell down on the ground and freed. She coughed and breathed. "Thanks, Kiyo... But it's not over yet. Kristoph went to the ballroom in the spirit realm," she said.
"What?! We have to warn the others!" Ms. Skye shocked.
"It's impossible. He's in the Spirit Realm," Nahyuta stated.
"Apollo, can I borrow the card?" Alro requested.
Apollo pulled out the card with the purple butterfly logo on it and gave it to Alro. "Here... You all stop him. I'll take care of Klavier."
Alro nodded as she raised the card. Swiftly, the card shone brighter as we teleported in the same place with many strange creatures. I was surprised that it's my first time to see them like angels, unicorns, pegasus, dragons and fictional creatures from the books, movies, anime and cartoon.
"This is your first time to see the spirit realm. I'll explain later. We need to kick his ass," Alro said.
Shuichi, Angie, Kiyo, Kokichi, NJ, Shane and I nodded as we all chased Kristoph. He went to the ballroom.
"Hey! What's going on?! Why the creatures suddenly appeared?!" Tenko surprised.
"It's magiiiiiic!" Himiko guessed excitedly.
"Oh! I might find Atua's friends here," same as Angie.
"Angie, Tenko, Himiko, Kaito, Maki, Ryoma, Gonta, Rantaro, Kirumi, Miu, Hinata-san, Komaeda-san and Keebo are in spirit realm too. I thought it's only us," Kokichi confused.
"With the combination of the spirit card and my power, I can summon the people I want. I'm sorry that I involved you all to this situation," Alro apologized.
"You don't need to apologize, Alro. You need our help. It's fine," Rantaro smiled.
"Gonta gonna help you all too," Gonta agreed.
"Keebo, Kaito, Himiko, Maki, Kokichi, Shuichi and I have powers to fight but others don't. The weapons are at the mothership. How can you fight?" Miu questioned. She's right. How can we fight without weapons?
"Hahahaha! Long time no see, Kaede," I heard a sinister laughter as he called my name. We all looked at the black spirit with Kristoph.
"A black spirit?" Maki raised her brow.
"Oh my gosh! This is Kambal Karibal Ace Attorney version! Kristoph summoned Bendy from the ink machine!" Shane shocked.
"I don't need his name but we should call him Bendy. One thing I'm sure is that Bendy isn't a spirit but a dead person with malevolent deed," Alro explained.
"I didn't know Kristoph summoned him," Komaeda-san mumbled.
"Hey, Kristoph! If you continue your evil doing, I'm gonna call someone," Shane said.
"Oh really? Therefore, who are you going to call, the police, and the law or ghost busters?" Kristoph crossed his arms to his chest and smirked.
"YO MAMAAA!" Shane yelled.
"KRIIIISSTOOOOOPH!"
Kristoph jolted as he heard a voice of an old woman. All of us looked at the left side. A woman in her 60's wore long-sleeves, white dress, her hair is blonde with a little white highlights and glowed herself as she's already dead and became an angel. That woman is Gavin Brothers' mother.
"Mama!" I noticed that Kristoph shivered in fear by the wrath of his mom. Heehee! Busted! 0\u/0
His mother rushed to him as he grabbed his ear, tightly and pulling it. "Don't you know that you made a huge mistake about messing up with innocent people's lives, showing your own schemes and using your little brother as a decoy? I'm very disappointed in you! I will tell God about giving you a second chance and atone your sins!" she scolded as she pulled him away.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Mama!" Kristoph cried out as they went to the light. And then, they're gone.
"Nyeheehee! That was easy," Kokichi giggled.
"Wait... Is that true that his mother died?" Shuichi asked.
"Mr. Klavier said that their father died from heart attack and their mother died from leukaemia. In the original Ace Attorney game, they didn't mention their parents, Athena's dad, enemies and so on, "NJ clarified.
"So many mysteries in AA. I should wait for the new game," Shuichi nodded.
"Since Kristoph is out of the picture, we're going fight him," Hinata-san glared at the black spirit.
"Seriously! Who exactly are you?!" I shouted.
"A basher?" Hinata-san raised a brow.
"You'll see," the black spirit smirked. He snapped his fingers the shadows rose as they absorbed the people's light auras.
"What are they doing?" Kaito asked.
"Oh shit!" Alro charged her electrical ball and blasted at them as they vanished. "The shadows are absorbing people's souls! When their souls are gone, the other people didn't know their existences," she explained as we saw the shadow was already done absorbing one victim and disappeared.
"Just like 'Shakugan No Shana'?" Tenko asked.
Alro nodded. "However, they're different because they're only absorbing negative souls with depression or being evil. Negative souls give them strength. While positive souls are impossible to get because it created light."
"Like Hope or Despair? I had enough of those but we need to create good vibes like cheering them up or talk to them," Keebo suggested.
*Beep! Beep!*
All our IPhone beeped as we were received a message from Rev.
'Sing and Dance!
I send a music to Keebo's memory. Also, don't fight the shadows. They're intangible. You'll might hurt people without noticing you by accident.'
"Sing and dance? Really?" Maki muttered. She disliked the idea.
"Oh! He got the point. I poked Mr. Edgeworth's ass," Kokichi remembered. He can be lying.
"Nahyuta and I witnessed it," Alro said honestly as I shocked.
"U D Wha?!" Shuichi gasped in awkward shortcut.
"What about Alro's electric ball and my stars?" Kaito raised a brow.
"The shadows burned and reappeared in minutes," Alro replied as the shadow appeared behind her. She upper-cut punched it with her glowing hand.
"We have no choice but to do it," I agreed.
"Guess we need to exit the spirit realm and make a dance on the stage," Alro said.
"Nyeh! How about practice?!" Himiko shocked.
"There's no time! Do you know the songs, 'BAAM', 'In my feelings', 'Du-ddu-du-ddu' and 'Something just like this'?" Keebo asked in a hurry.
"I know all the songs. The girls and I danced for fun but not on the stage," Himiko answered nervously. "Who cares! Let's dance to kill those shadows or bashers!" she suddenly cheered.
"Already?!" I shocked by her.
"Keebo and I will handle the sounds," Miu said.
"I'll do the lights and effects," NJ suggested as he turned on the computer.
"Gonta knows that fighting with shadows are impossible but dance with good vibes, Gonta like it," Gonta smiled.
"Hey, Alro! Rantaro, Shuichi, Kaito and I will dance 'Something just like this' if it's okay for you," Kokichi suggested.
"Um... Sure," Alro tilted her head. I'm pretty sure that Alro will bewilder if she sees them dancing.
"Hajime and I stay here and shove the shadows with this," Komaeda said as they took their lightsabers. Well, not from Star Wars. Their handles are cross-shaped. "Don't worry about us. We have a spirit card to pull us out."
All of us nodded as Alro raised the spirit card as we, except Hinata-san and Komaeda-san, exited the spirit realm. The people in the ballroom didn't notice our magical appearances.
"Pink Head, there you are! I was looking all over for you! I saw shadows are absorbing my people," Princess Rayfa shouted outrageously. Wait! She can see us?!
"Jeez! You don't need to shout. Anyway, can you dance with us? Your people might be excited to see their Benevolence's dance," Alro suggested.
"Hmm... I know dancing with positive energy can defeat the shadows. I can join without a problem," Princess Rayfa joined. I have no complain about it. The more, the merrier.
All of us climbed up the stage as Alro held the mic. "Ladies and gentlemen, let's give applause to the DRV3 dancers and Princess Rayfa!" she announced loudly.
All the people looked at us with blank stares. That makes nervous. Miu turned the speakers on, Keebo played the music and NJ controlled the light and effects with his laptop. The background changed into galaxy. Kokichi, Rantaro, Kaito and Shuichi walked in and danced as they learned the dance videos from YouTube.
(Something Just Like This – Chainsmokers and Coldplay)
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
But she said, "Where d'you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts.
Some superhero,
Some fairytale bliss.
Just something I can turn to.
Somebody I can kiss.
I want something just like this."
The audiences cheered, mostly the girls. I'm pretty astonished by Shuichi's groove. Maki blushed as she saw her boyfriend danced. She thought that Kaito's lying. When I looked at Alro, she got nosebleed. I took out my handkerchief and poked her shoulder. She got my attention as she realized about it. She took it, thanked me and wiped the blood from her nose. Is she nose bleeding by a punch or the boys' sexy dance? We heard the cue as the girls, the other boys and I showed up as we rolled in and danced.
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
I want something just like this
(BAAM – Momoland, English version)
Princess Rayfa went to the center on the stage as she picked up the mic and sang in English while all of us dancing. All the citizens went crazy to see their princess' talent.

I keep getting dizzy, I haven't even thought about it
But you just come right in BAAM (BAAM)
You shake me up with your indifferent worlds
Pick pick pick, I'm fainting BAAM (BAAM)
As if you're soulless (you lift me)
With your cold words (you let go of me)
In your (No Doubt) eyes (No Doubt)
I'm not there

As if you're drawing a line (you do this)
You put up a wall (you do that)
So how,
oh how, why
I'm looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
I'm falling, falling
I close my eyes but I see you anyway
What do I do? Baby tell me why
We shook our hips with our hand movements in the chorus gracefully. Which is good for the exercise. The people, young or old, danced with enjoyment, just like Athena, a boy with a bun, a woman in purple kimono and the Payne Brothers. They danced ridiculous, however, in a positive way.
When I see you,
My heart races
I think of you every night
Why are you doing this to me baby?
As time goes by,
I can't hide my heart
When I see you, I keep getting
oh what's wrong with me?

Next, we danced 'In My Feelings' Challenge'. Therefore, no need a car to perform this. Only a short dance.
(In my feelings –Drake)
Kiki, do you love me
Are you riding, say you'll never ever leave
From beside me, 'cause I want ya, and I need ya
And I'm down for you always
KB, do you love me
Are you riding say you'll never ever leave
From beside me, 'cause I want ya, and I need ya
And I'm down for you always
The music changed as the boys left because the next music is a girls' group dance.
(Ddu-du-ddu-du – Black Pink)
My face is kind but not my attitude
Thin body frames with hidden volume twice as much
We go forward without holding back, no need to be cautious
Black then Pink, we're pretty savages
If I want it, I'll take it from you straight up
Even if you want something, it's like cutting water with a sword
In my hands is a fat check
If you're curious, do a fact check
My standards are way up top
Like a fish in water
I'm kind of intense, I'm toxic
You fall for me, I'm foxy
We're incomplete about the K-pop idols' dance moves, only we danced basics. Nonetheless, when we did the 'bang bang' with our fingers, all men screamed in fanboy mode.
Think twice
Cuz I can't act nice like everyone else
Don't misunderstand
My easy smiles are for myself
You still don't really know
But if you really want me, test me
It's obvious, like looking at fire
If you wanted something easy…
Oh wait til' I do what I do
Hit you with that ddu-du ddu-du du
Hit you with that ddu-du ddu-du du
"Hinata-san, status report?" Alro asked while dancing.
"The positive energies from the people are raising as the shadows vanished. On the contrary, the black man, or Bendy didn't dis-"
"Oh my gosh! There's a black monster on the ceiling!" the teenage girl with two rings on her head shouted and pointed at the ceiling.
"Pearly, stay behind me!" the woman with her bun hair pulled her closer.
Kaito saw it as he charged a flare ball. "Kamehamehaaaaa!" he fired and hurt Bendy as he disappeared. As a result, Kaito's flare ball got the people's attention. "Um… It came from NJ's hologram for lights and effects," he said nervously.
"It's maaagiiiiic," NJ mimicked Himiko's voice.
"Nyeh! That's my line and my voice!" Himiko gasped.
Bendy's gone… Is it over, isn't it?
"KAAAAEEDEEE!"
"Aaah!" I screamed as Bendy grabbed me as his hostage.
"Kaede!" Shuichi shocked.
"Let her go, you degenerate ghost!" Tenko jumped and gave Bendy a flying kick. Unfortunately, her kick went through Bendy's body and crashed at the table.
"Oh no! Tenko!" Angie frightened as she went to help Tenko with Kirumi and Himiko.
"Kaede, it's sad that you don't remember your own father…"
As I heard his voice, my head struck me painfully as I suddenly regained my memory. In my memory, I was the part of the idol group with my twin sister, Kanade. Our songs were inspired by our mother. She's a music teacher. We have a youngest brother, Haruto. We loved her so much until our father killed her in our eyes. We testified in the court that he's a murderer but the people in the court believed in my father's lies. The verdict is going to get 'not guilty' and we ran away from him. To hide ourselves from public, we quitted our careers and use our money to rent a house and food to live. Kanade worked as a waitress while I took care of Haruto. We're still studying at school as we promised to our mother. Then, everything changed when our father caught Kanade. I don't know what to do but I ran away again with Haruto. So many people are hard to trust. Even, the police think that I'm a runaway rebel. At the end, I sent Haruto to the orphanage where he's safe without me. To get more money for my own, I signed in the reality show, DanganRonpa.
"KAEDE!"
I snapped that I saw Shuichi punched Bendy's face with the bead necklace. Bendy knocked off as his face got burned. Speaking of the devil, that bead necklace belonged to Nahyuta. Nahyuta is a Khura'inese monk. Therefore, that's a holy bead necklace to harm the evil spirit. "Are you alright, Kaede?" Shuichi let me a hand.
I nodded as I took his hand and pulled me to stand up. "Shuichi, that shadow is my father!"
"What?! How did he died and transformed?!" Shuichi asked.
"I don't know. My memories came back but I don't know if my siblings are still alive or not. Did my father hunt them? Are they dead? Is it all my fault?" I felt like I blamed myself for leaving them behind. I was panicked as I hugged myself tightly.
Then, Shuichi held my shoulder as I glanced at his grey eyes. "Kaede, your father wants you to think negative thoughts to make him stronger. As for your siblings, we still don't know but I'm sure they're fine."
"No, Kaede! They're de- AAAAAH!" My father was slashed by Hinata-san with his lightsaber.
"Shuichi is right. Kanade Akatmatsu and Haruto are safe at the orphanage. Alyas saved them two years ago. For more information, can we end him pronto?" he suggested.
As I listened to them, I wiped my tears and nodded. That made me so relief. I stood up as I glared my father.
"They're lying, Kaede! Kanade and Haruto are dead with your mother!"
"SHUT THE FUCKING MOUTH, KIRIHITO AKAMATSU!" I screamed outrageously. "I don't trust people before. Now, I can! You can't hurt me because you're totally dead! You're just annoying, lying douchebag!"
"Yeah! Go, Kaede!" Miu cheered.
"Is this how you threat your own father, you little bitch?!" my father attempted to kill me.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Right before our eyes, Princess Rayfa blocked him with light energy shield from her staff. "I heard the whole conversation and your actions. You shall not outbreak your own daughter, you phoney-baloney! Blonde Head! Pink Head! Give him some punishment!" she commanded.
"Hai!" Alro and I saluted. Wait! Why we did that?!
"Alro, Kaede, can I join too?! I'm an extraordinaire!" Shane volunteered.
"Yes, you can. You're our secret weapon" Alro replied. Secret Weapon?
"Shuichi and I will be your back-up dances," Kokichi thumbs up.
"Yeah!" Shuichi nodded.
"You can't make me by your useless-"
"In one, two, three!" Keebo shut my father and counted as he played the music.
We stepped to our position on the stage. I took a deep breath and sing.
(Yakusoku no Kizuna - Kyoukai no Kanata)
Me: "Tenohira ni tsukanda yakusoku wa."
Alro: "Eien ni kienai takaramono."
Me: "Itsuka miageta."
Alro: "Sora no kanata ni."
Both: "Bokura no asu e to michibiku
Future Star."
Alro, Kokichi, Shuichi and I started to dance. Our dance steps are coming from the characters of Kyoukai no Kanata. Same as before, only basic. I noticed my father has headache and groaned. Just like Pichi Pitch. Futhermore, Alro has a good voice.
Me: "Kimi to tomo ni nagashita namida. Both: "Kiseki wa guuzen ja nai doryoku no kesshou de.

We continued dancing as we got the cue for –HOLY MOTHER OF PINK! Shane wore a sleeveless, shining pink shirt with heart-shaped bead necklace and ring bracelets, fluffy angel wings, pink tutu, light pink stockings and pink ballerina shoes with diamonds. She went to the center as she sings.
Shane: Motto mae e susumou

Kimi to naraba ganbareru

Since Hope Peak's Academy existed, Shane's going to be the Ultimate Diva in the future. I totally forgot that she inherited her talents from her mother. All of the people screamed for excitement and cheered for us. I saw my father is fading away soon as he became weak. We're going to end him now!
All of us:
Wasurenai yo egao.
Donna tsurai michi mo.
Itsumo kimi ga soba ni iru.
Tadoritsuita saki ni.

Future Star.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I heard his final scream and vanquished his entire existence. All I'm hearing now are the people's cheering and encoring some more. I sighed in relief as I finally regained my true memory and moved on. After the incident and the party were over, the guests went home. The royal family, Apollo, Mr. Wright, Athena, Nahyuta, Hinata-san, Komaeda-san and Alro went to the living room for a meeting. My friends and I explored and bought souvenirs from Khura'in. And then, we went to a luxurious penthouse that Nahyuta let us stay in two weeks. At night time, all of us slept as I decided to find Alro. Without warning from the shadows, I found her at the balcony, talking to someone on her IPhone.
"Alro?" I called her as she glanced at me.
"I'll chat you later, Rev," she ended the call. "What's up? Let me guess, Hinata-san told you that my sister saved your siblings."
"Yeah… He told me while we fought my dad… Did you say sister? Her name is Alyas, right?" I tilted my head.
Alro nodded. "Two years ago, Hinata-san discovered about the kidnapping girls incident and showed the place to my sister. Alyas' fighting skills are very dominant but using her power weakens her. So, she succeed the mission and saved the female victims by knocking the bastards out. The leader attempted to kill her but Kanade shot him in the head fatally. She explained to my sister that the real reason of kidnapping girls is because they sell them as prostitutes and murdered them if they spread a report to the police. At the end, the victims were rescued and Kanade reunited with your little brother. Futhermore, they don't mad at you. They worried about you, even watching you from DRV3."
"Oh my gosh! They thought that I'm dead!" I panicked.
"Don't worry. I explained to them that you revived. They know me and my sister and promised not to tell everyone about our powers," she clarified. Her IPhone rang again as she answered it. "Speaking of the devil, someone called you," she gave her IPhone to me with a smile.
I raised a brow for her reason. As I looked at it, my tears of joy came out.
"Big Sis Kaede! Hi!"
"Kaede, I'm glad we call you!"
"Kanade, Haruto, I miss you so much!"
