"OBJECTION! Where's your proof?" Yumihiko asked, although he seemed desperate now.
(Why is he so desperate?)
"If you have no proof, the only one who could have done it is the defendant!" Yumihiko retorted.
(He really wants a guilty verdict all of a sudden now?)
"OBJECTION! The proof is in the pudding! He incriminated himself!" Apollo retorted.
"OBJECTION! That's not what I meant!" Yumihiko countered.
"Wha?" Apollo started sweating.
"Motive, Mr. Justice. Why would I have killed her?"
"Hey, Athena, any help-" I turned to see that she was gone. "Hey, where did she go?"
"Sorry about that!" Athena ran back in from the side. "Look at this, I got it from Gumshoe just now." Her voice was hoarse.
"A list?" I looked a bit closer. It had Tommy's name on it, as well as several other notorious names. Smuggling ring leaders.
"This is what you need, Apollo! Now, just think it through!" Athena smiled.
*List added to the Court Record*
"H-hey! Put that down!" Tommy pulled out a tomahawk from nowhere. He then threw it at the defense. It hit the wall behind them.
"Rip it up! Or I will-" He was being held back by several bailiffs.
(Let's do this!)

"Let's go over the case. Tommy was doing something with the defendant. He then got angry and pushed her into the street, where she was run over by Kay. Kay then crashed her car, and fell out. She saw the body, and Tommy, and then passed out. He then got out of the crime scene, and called Ari, and told her the details of the crime. She then called the police. What we need to find out, is his motive."
"What is his motive?"
:He was mad at Misty:
:Misty found some dirt on him:
:Misty attacked him:
:Misty found some dirt on him:
"So, Misty found out a secret about him. But what is that secret?"
:He kidnapped Ari:
:He likes wearing girl's clothes:
:He killed Misty:
:He kidnapped Ari:
"Exactly! It says he was a suspect, after all, plus we have Ari's testimony. Hmm… but that can't be all. That isn't enough to kill someone over. No, we need more motive! But, what else could be motivation?"
:He's a girl:
:He kissed someone:
:He's part of the smuggling ring:
:He's part of the smuggling ring:
"That one was a shocker, but depending on his reaction to that list, it must be true. So, his motive is..!"
:He didn't want his secrets to be let out:
:He hated Misty:
:No motive:
.:He didn't want his secrets to be let out:.
"That's it! He didn't want his secrets to be let out of the bag. Somehow, Misty found out. So, he killed her to keep her from talking!"

End
"I have a motive for you." Apollo slammed the desk. "You didn't want your dirty little secrets to be released, correct? Specifically…the smuggling and the kidnapping."
"S-smuggling!" The judge asked in shock.
"That's right. Our little CEO here, is the leader of a notorious smuggling ring!" Apollo pointed.
"AGH! You mean…!" Yumihiko hit himself with his baton.
"Yes. The one that caused many problems, including several murders." Apollo slammed the desk. "Well, what do you have to say to that-" Apollo ducked a tomahawk.
"He…hehehehehehe…" He laughed. Suddenly, he started screaming, and throwing a lot of tomahawks at the ceiling. Dozens and dozens of tomahawks, no one knew how he hid so many, were thrown at the ceiling. Some splinters fell as they hit the ceiling. As the last tomahawk hit the ceiling, it broke, and all of the wood fell down on top of him.
"Prosecutor Ichiyanagi? Has the witness been detained?" The judge asked. He was silent, with a wince on his face.
"Prosecutor Ichiyanagi?" The judge asked.
"…He's been detained. After he dug himself out of all that wood, we arrested him immediately." Ymihiko started shaking. "I-I lost…No, I-I couldn't have…!" Suddenly, he ran out the door.
"Wh-what's going on!?" The judge asked as the court burst into chaos.
"ORDER IN THE COURT! I will bring down my verdict now. I find the defendant, Kay Faraday…"
NOT GUILTY
"Court is adjourned!" The judge banged his gavel.
3:30 PM 11/15/28
Defendant's lobby #3
"Thank you so much, Apollo!" Kay smiled.
"You're very welcome, Kay." I smiled back.
"How did you have so much faith in me? It seemed like such an open and shut case…!" Kay looked surprised.
"There's a reason for that." I looked through my evidence. Where was it…?
"TAKE THAT! Because, you are the Yatagarasu. And the only thing they steal is the truth. They would never steal a life." After I said this, Kay brought me into a tight hug.
"Thank you so much! I have to go now, though. Bye! Thank you again!" Kay waved as she and Mr. Edgeworth left.
"Well, that was surprisingly short." Athena said, frowning.
"And what was up with Yumihiko?" I asked.
"I have no idea." Athena shook her head.
"Are you feeling better?" She nodded.
"Much."
"That's good." We jumped at Yumihiko's voice.
"Oh, hi Yumihiko." Athena smiled.
"What am I going to do..? I'm so dead, I'm done!"
"What are you talking about?" Athena frowned.
"This!" He handed us a note. But before we could read it, some police bust in.
"Yumihiko Ichiyanagi, you are under arrest." One of them said.
"Wh-what? What for?" He frowned.
"The murder of Winston Payne." Yumihiko just looked shocked.
"B-but he died of natural causes!"
"No, he didn't. He died due to a poison that made it look like a heart attack. Now, come with us." Yumihiko stood silent.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He ran outside.
"Wait! What's going on?" Athena frowned.
(They eventually caught him. And he was then put under arrest for who knows why.)
"We have to defend him, Apollo!" Athena insisted.
"…"
