From the first case to win for Phoenix Wright to become a defense attorney with his teacher Mia's help and falling in love with another student as a murder mystery solver name Cassie Freeman with amazing skills 'and some psychic powers', this was only the beginning. To start things off as Phoenix narrates things off.
Phoenix: (I'm Phoenix Wright. While I Somehow proved my client's innocence in my first trial, I'm still a highly inexperienced rookie attorney. But I'll do my best to help those who have no one on their side!)
As it was day time out for the cherry blossoms on the trees to be blooming, Mia calls up someone who was very closes to her to talk about something for her upcoming trial she needed to do. To also show a Bluecorp. Billboard on top of a building 'to be very important later on'...
?: Hello? This is Maya.
Mia: Hello, it's me.
This young girl seems to know who Mia was to be sisters.
Maya: Oh, Mia! What's up? You haven't called in a while.
Time: April 3, 9:27 AM
Location: Fey & Co. Law Offices
Mia: Sorry, I've been busy lately. How have you been?
Showing from Mia's office and to where Maya was living in...
Maya: Lonely...And it's all your fault for leaving your beloved little sister alone! Just teasing! I'm good. I've gotten use to having my own place.
And back to Mia's office to be be working on the statue Thinker to fix it or something.
Mia: Oh, I'm glad. Actually, I'm calling because I have a favor to ask.
Maya knows of the drill for Mia wanted to help her out on.
Maya: I know! You want me to hold evidences for you again?
Mia: Indeed. The case I'm working on will be big. I'm uncomfortable keeping the evidence here until the trial.
Maya: So, what is it this time?
For Maya wishes to know what this one will be.
Mia: A table clock.
Maya: Clock?
Mia: Yes, it's made to resemble the statue The Thinker. And it tells you the time! You've always liked toys, right?
For sisters to be teasing each other to get along very well.
Maya: Hey...I'm not a little girl anymore, Mia!
For the Thinker had to be taken apart a lot on Mia's mind.
Mia: Oh, but at the moment, the clock doesn't talk. I had to remove the clockwork. I put some papers inside instead.
Maya: Is it the evidence, then?
Elsewhere, in some dark room for someone to be eavesdropping on both Mia and Maya's phone conversation...Not good.
Mia: Sharp as always. There are important, so keep them safe.
For this man looked like trouble, whoever he was...
?: The Thinker, eh? Smart thinking, Ms. Fey.
This guy's smiling teeth to be shining...Not good at all. Hours later as Phoenix was working hard at Mia's office and some paper work for Cassie to be doing her normal day and normal cases to do in trial, for Phoenix has never been more happy to have Cassie to be working with both him and Mia to make his day complete – of being in love.
Phoenix: (Wow...Look at me working with someone who I fell in love with name Cassie Freeman. Maybe I can ask her out to fall in love with me back.)
While dusting to almost dropping something for Cassie to help out Phoenix in time before it could break.
Cassie: Hey! Easy there, Phoenix.
Phoenix: Ah! Excuse me?
Cassie: This vase almost fell to hit your head, but I caught it, so you're welcome. Since you've won on your first case, this place has never been as busy so much to help out people with Mia around. And for me to solve murder mysteries are so much fun.
Yeah a lot to always have Mia Fey to defend on other who didn't commit any crime to be proven innocent for Phoenix to do so much and Cassie backing her boss up a lot.
Phoenix: I guess so...
Phoenix was still blushing.
Phoenix: (Wow, even when she smiles to be serious, she still has a cute look on her face.)
Soon from Phoenix cleaning the bathroom next, Mia wanted to tell both him and Cassie about something and for them to take a break.
Mia: Phoenix. Cassie. Can I talk to you two for a moment?
She then tells them about her little sister Maya Fey to go out to eat tonight and wants to invite them to join in, sounds like fun. For Cassie to hear about Maya a lot 'to not see her in person yet' nor Phoenix never knew of Mia having a little sister until today.
Phoenix: Huh? You have a little sister, Boss?
Mia: I hadn't mentioned that? I did with Cassie to never seen Maya yet.
Phoenix: No...This is the first I've heard of it.
Cassie just nodded at Phoenix to let him know.
Cassie: I guess you and I are in the same boat. But you know how we get when we learn something.
Mia: First time for you then, Phoenix. She's also coming to the office tonight to see me. Why don't you two join us for dinner?
With Mia asking them to join with both Mia and Maya, Phoenix and Cassie were more than happy to go out together tonight.
Phoenix: Really?
Cassie: Us to join with you two? Are you sure, Mia?
Not so hard to be asking this type of question at all.
Mia: I don't mind at all, Cassie, nor Phoenix. So of course. Then, let's meet up here at 9 PM.
Sounds like a plan for Cassie and Phoenix headed back to their apartments until they both meet up again later on.
Cassie: Sure! I can't wait, Mia!
Phoenix: Got it! We'll see you later!
A lot of fun time tonight for all four of them to be doing and going out, for Phoenix and Cassie will be meeting with Mia's sister Maya 'who loves food'. For them to do well to save people of their innocents in court, some lawyers than defense ones 'like the prosecutor lawyers' are against people to prove them guilty a lot; for one of them in court right now was one man who can win it all who is known as Miles Edgeworth himself.
Edgeworth: And with that, the prosecution rests its case.
And when I meant to say about Edgeworth will do whatever it takes to win, he does it. As he bows to everyone else in the room for the Judge to hit his gavel to say the verdict.
Judge: I shall hand down the verdict...Guilty!
To everyone else's surprise on another job Edgeworth just did, but a random defense lawyer knew that Edgeworth might've cheated on his end...A unfair law to make some of those thing happen now a days in court to be unfair at times.
Lawyer: Why wasn't I informed about that evidences?!
But all he does back was to point and says it like it is in Edgeworth's own words.
Edgeworth: Reflect on your own incompetence before criticizing my methods.
For this today's news happened to be all over the TV and the newspapers for Phoenix to read it on the train ride. Saying things like: "Genesis Prosecutor wins again. Dark rumors follow victory." And down the bottom to also be on the front page also says something about Phoenix Wright's work along with Cassie's too... "Rookie attorney takes plaudits and the strange girl with odd powers to back him up. Could this be love at first sight?"
Phoenix: (Talk about night and day...)
Same with Cassie too as she was running on her track workout back at her apartment to be watching the whole thing on the TV.
Cassie: (From talking about Phoenix and me on a fine job in working, and some other prosecutor who's been winning in so many cases against others. Some who haven't committed any murders or illegal crimes at all.)
I take it that Cassie can sense some bad people who don't do their jobs right unlike Mia and Phoenix do, and for her as well to not know who Edgeworth was 'not just yet'. Later at night time...As Cassie arrives back at Mia's office building to meet with her and Maya in a bit, Phoenix was running a bit late to be checking on his watch to be in a big hurrying getting there.
Phoenix: (I'm late!) Ah! Cassie, hi! You've made it.
He arrives and to be happy seeing Cassie again.
Cassie: And you've finally made it yourself. Come on, Phoenix, the two girls are probably waiting for our arrival. Let's head on up.
Time: April 3, 9:08 PM
Location: Fey & Co. Law Offices
Into the Fey & Co. Law Offices they go right away. Arriving to have one office light to be on, but the other room was completely dark inside of it, how weird. Was Mia there with her sister or what? Or was there anyone there at all?
Cassie: Hello? Mia? Maya? We're here! Are you two somewhere? Anyone...?
Phoenix: Not here yet...We're back!
Going in for Phoenix to hear something break of glass piece from the sound of it from his shoe to stop and look at it, same with Cassie to feel something wasn't right. To have the room in darkness, something made of glass to shatter all over, a complete mess all over, and looking around to have only lamp light on to see something disturbing...Both Phoenix and Cassie also see Mia's body...Lying on the ground to look dead, she was murder!
Cassie: What...? What is this...?
Cassie was horrified to then check on her pulse.
Cassie: No, please don't be dead...! (This isn't happening...! I don't feel any heart beating from Mia at all. Her head was hit pretty hard to end up dead like this. No!)
Phoenix: M-Mia?
Phoenix sees from Cassie's sad reaction that Mia was long gone.
Phoenix: Mia!
Cassie: Phoenix, I'm sorry. But Mia's been killed...!
Not good at all, for the two stop to hear someone else was in the room to be crying a lot more, a young girl. She's Mia's little sister name Maya Fey to lose her older sister just now to arrive before they did.
Phoenix: Who's there?
For Phoenix and Cassie see Maya to be in the corner of the room crying and to be seeing these two for the first time, and a very bad timing right now.
Cassie: Hey, isn't that...?
Cassie might know who Maya was.
Phoenix: Y-You're...
From there, Phoenix stops to see Maya was herself to be nodded a no and she was innocent.
Phoenix: Oh, it's okay. We work here.
But instead, Cassie rushes over to Maya's side to help her out.
Cassie: You must be Mia's little sister, correct? We are-! We were good friends of hers, I'm so sorry about this. You can trust in us.
Still to be a sad thing to lose someone who was closes to you, Maya rushes over to Mia's body to be crying in sorrow.
Maya: Mia! Mia! Mia...
Very sad, as Maya breaks down in tears.
Phoenix: So you're really Mia's...
Just then, a noise was heard in the building for Phoenix and Cassie see someone coming in. From Cassie seeing from the window of some woman making a panic phone call from across the street at some hotel, for a lot of cops and a detective arrives to be showing his badge to see a murder scene to take place. As he also tells the other three to stay put under police law.
?: Freeze, pal! It's the cops. Crime scene's secured.
Right away, Cassie knows who this person was.
Cassie: Oh, no...Not this guy.
This surprises Phoenix to be hearing this.
Phoenix: Wait! You know him?!
A lot to explain for Cassie, as a lot of officers were parked outside of the office to look around a murder crime scene for this man introduces himself name Detective Dick Gumshoe. For this guy and Cassie know each other very well.
District Police Detective – Dick Gumshoe
Gumshoe: I'm Detective Dick Gumshoe, pal. Ah, you again, kid. I thought you would be here at a murder scene to try solving another murder mystery like this one. Still dreaming of being the best of the best, huh?
A lot to explain next.
Cassie: It's nice to see you again too, Mr. Detective. We bump into each other a lot, Phoenix, to work at times differently. I love solving murder mysteries to finding suspects on who's the real murderers are and he does his part to follow the law...quite a bit differently. He calls me 'Kid' as a nickname, while I call him by 'Mr. Detective' to be friends.
Gumshoe: As long as you're not causing any trouble, Kid, I'm watching you.
Yeah, overdoing his job a bit much from the looks of it for Gumshoe to be worried over nothing. For him to do his job with one of the officer to tell Gumshoe on what he and the other officers have found.
Officer: Excuse me. Look at this.
One of the officers alerts Gumshoe about something. Using some rubber gloves, Gumshoe spots a piece of paper lying next to Mia's dead body to be a receipt on something Mia has bought from a few days ago.
Gumshoe: This is a receipt.
For Cassie and Phoenix check it out while Maya was standing around to feel all sad, for the paper said on the front side – 'Receipt, April 2, and Antique glass light stand'. And on the back side, had something written in blood of someone's name on it – 'Maya'. Oh, no!
Gumshoe: Hold up...'Maya'? This mean anything to you, pal? Or you, Kid?
Phoenix: N-No.
Cassie: Don't look at me.
Things only get bad to worse when Maya speaks up.
Maya: Th-That's my name...
Gumshoe: What's your name?
From this feeling Cassie was getting was not good on what Maya was going to say, it the police will think that Maya has murder her own sister. But she would never do such a terrible thing!
Cassie: Wait, Maya-!
But Cassie warns her too late.
Maya: Maya Fey, here sister.
Even Phoenix feels bad for Maya on what she's going through.
Phoenix: (Maya...)
And from there, Gumshoe just arrests Maya right away by grabbing hold of her arm.
Gumshoe: Case closed! You're coming down to the station!
This was really bad for Cassie had to do something to save the sad Maya.
Cassie: Mr. Detective-!
Gumshoe: Kid, please don't. Try to stop me, and I'll have no other choice but to arrest you for butting in to law business like this one. I'm sorry. Don't make this harder than it already is.
She stops for Cassie can't save Maya now nor can Phoenix.
Phoenix: I'm sorry, Cassie. But just wait a second...
Phoenix tries to say something next.
Gumshoe: You're coming too, pal. Yeah, to the station! For you and Kid. Let's go!
Now having the police tape to cover up the building as Maya is found arrested to be taken in at the Metropolitan Police Department for other people to see the scene of the crime, with news media and all. As Phoenix and Cassie go into a different police car to be questioned by them for a long night. Also, for the woman with pink hair at the hotel across the street for Cassie to notice for she has made the police call. Just by looking out from a far though? This was on her mind all night long for her and Phoenix to go home afterwards but Maya to stay in a jail cell on a crime she didn't do. Not good at all...The next morning, what a rough night that was to be far from over. With Cassie waking up back at her apartment to take a shower and to hear the news on the radio from last night's murder of Mia Fey. For her to lose a teacher like her must be really hard to go through.
Phoenix: (Mia...I can't believe you're really gone.)
While back at Phoenix's apartment to be waking up looking tired, as he watches the news about his teacher's death as well on TV.
Newscaster: [This was the scene of a crime. Last night, the chief of Fey & Co. Law Offices, Ms. Mia Fey, was murdered.]
It was showing a photo of Mia on TV. To say – 'Beautiful Attorney Murdered – Mia Fey (27)' For the horrors of seeing Mia's dead body for Phoenix to remember and to never forget the scene there.
Phoenix: Mia...
Remembering from a flashback of all the other good times with Mia on Phoenix's first case and for Cassie to work so hard with her.
Mia: Of course. Couldn't take you under your wing and skip this important day. You're finally leaving the nest.
From there and winning the case afterwards.
Mia: Well done, Phoenix. And you too, Cassie, way a go.
End of flashback for Phoenix hears the rest of the news on TV about Mia's murder to still be going on.
Newscaster: [Police suspect the beautiful attorney's own sister murdered her. Currently, she's been held in custody.]
This made Phoenix mad to punch the ground with his fist. From there, Cassie also looked upset while standing in the shower to be running, and Maya in her cell room. Sad to be crying over her sister's loss to see the horror images of her dead body lying there in the office. Poor girl...It was there for Cassie got out to get dried off to know what she needed to do next for Maya 'for Mia wanted to help her sister out' and fast to get going.
Cassie: (I can't just stand here while Maya suffers on a crime she didn't do. I have to talk to her to solve this murder mystery of Mia Fey's murder. And if I'm right, I'm sure Phoenix will be there too.)
To the Detention Center place Cassie heads to next! And I think Phoenix will since he's riding his bike in the area of the place to see Mia and Cassie as well. For the cherry blossom petals to be falling down, for this type of feeling to not give up on someone like this.
Phoenix: (Those tears weren't fake.)
See? He was being serious now.
Time: April 4, 9:07 AM
Location: Detention Center – Visitor's Room
Arriving there for the two – one being a defense lawyer and another one being a murder mystery solver to see each other again as they both waited for Maya to come out of the other room from the other side, for them to ask the poor girl some questions.
Cassie: Phoenix, I knew you would show up. Rough night, wasn't it?
For them to both stay strong together for Maya's sake.
Phoenix: Cassie...Yeah...Rough...
He was out of it again in love.
Cassie: Ah, Phoenix?
She once again helps Phoenix snap out of it.
Phoenix: Huh?! Oh, yeah it was. Sorry, Cassie. (Damn, I can't help for this girl to be so cute! I want to to tell Cassie how I feel about her...!) Listen, Cassie, both you and I know about Maya's innocent who would never murder her own sister. Which means someone else set her up and we need to find out who.
The two sat down on the chairs.
Cassie: Right. Let's question Maya and see what we can get. (Phoenix is silly, but he's caring to get the job done.)
Like Cassie was ready, so was Phoenix as well. Soon, Maya 'who was tired out and sad still' walks up to the room to take her seat as an officer watches on her to also be dressing up very weird. Like she was in the old times of Japan as a mystical maid of some kind. For Cassie dresses weirdly to not bother her about it, leaving Phoenix to be confused on Maya's appearance a little.
Phoenix: (Now that I get a good look at her, her outfit's rather strange.) Um...
But she says something first.
Maya: It's you, the lawyer and friend.
Cassie: Hey, Maya. We're here to help you out for we once worked with Mia, she's was a great lawyer. I'm Cassie Freeman, a murder mystery solver. And this is my partner who's also a defense lawyer name Phoenix Wright. It's nice to finally meet you.
Maya: Hello to you too, Cassie.
A nice start so far for Maya to speak up...
Phoenix: You've had a rough night, huh? Have you contacted your family?
Maya: My mother and father are both gone.
Sad for Mia and Maya lost their parents to no longer be around anymore for Maya to be the only one left.
Cassie: I'm so sorry, Maya. (Wow, she's almost like what I've been through.)
Cassie felt the pain that Maya was going through. Sad, isn't it? Also, when Cassie places her hands next to some – to sense, feel out, and can tell if someone's a good person or not. What kind of powers does this girl have? Anyways, continuing on for Phoenix changes to asking Maya another question next.
Phoenix: Last night, you came to see Mia at the office, right?
Maya: She asked me to come.
For Maya to explain from what happened to arriving there as they planned to go out to eat last night if Mia wasn't killed.
Cassie: Oh, we were going out to eat. All four of us.
Oh yeah, Cassie remembers that part very well.
Phoenix: I see. You're right, Cassie.
But that's not all, Maya also tells the two another reason why Mia ask for her sister to meet up with her.
Maya: She also wanted to ask me to hold on to some evidence for an upcoming trial.
Phoenix: Evidence?
Maya: The clock that's shaped like The Thinker.
Yeah, Cassie and Phoenix remembers The Thinker clock as well that Larry made to give another one to Mia, since the other one he created to Cindy was used to kill her to happen again to Mia now. Yeah...For Phoenix to have the odd look on his face once he learned.
Phoenix: (The one Larry made!)
Cassie: Funny how a clock to be made by hand was used twice on two people to get killed from the head. Bummer...I guess it just happened.
It was there for Maya also remembers talking about the conversation with Mia just yesterday about the case she was working on.
Maya: I'm pretty sure our conversation is on my cell phone.
On Maya's cell phone to be left recorded?! This could be important here.
Cassie: On your cell phone?!
Phoenix: Then please! Let us hear it!
Yeah, about that part for Maya to bring in the bad news for them.
Maya: But I dropped it somewhere...
Another let down there to be twice in a row today.
Phoenix: Of course.
And Phoenix was upset a little.
Maya: I'm so sorry...
Then Phoenix has to ask Maya about her outfit she's wearing, to no ordinary people would wear it a lot in public.
Phoenix: By the way, what's with that bizarre-
Cassie shoves Phoenix a little to say something different.
Phoenix: I mean, interesting outfit?
Cassie: It's not Halloween yet.
Well, it didn't bother Maya when Phoenix asked and Cassie to make a little joke to answer back.
Maya: I-I'm not strange, really! I'm a spirit medium. In training...
So Maya Fey's a spirit medium who can summon spirits to control her body to talk to them once again. Wow! That must be something big for her to do! And for both Phoenix and Cassie to be hearing this to be out of nowhere.
Phoenix and Cassie: S-Spirit Medium?
This was new to Cassie, but not to Phoenix.
Phoenix: (I'm pretty sure that qualifies as strange.)
Maya: I'm still in training, but the Fey family has always been sensitive to the spirit world. Especially the women.
If Maya was doing it, does this also mean for Mia was too while working as a lawyer. Who knew!
Cassie: Now that sounds really cool. I wish I can do those type of things with these strange powers I have.
Phoenix: So Mia was into this stuff too?
Maya: Yes. Her powers were seriously out of this world!
Again, Phoenix was having trouble hearing all of this to be very true. But not to Cassie since she felt something to feel very real.
Phoenix: I had no idea...
Right there, Phoenix stops for Cassie was staring at him.
Phoenix: Ah...I didn't mean that in a mean way, Cassie! Don't get me wrong! Wait, Maya, can't you ask Mia's spirit who killed her?
Not a bad idea, but will it work?
Cassie: Good idea, Phoenix! Please, Maya, use your powers to try to ask her spirit about anything she remembers.
One problem for Maya to bring them another bad news.
Maya: Oh, no...Sorry, but again I'm still in training.
Phoenix and Cassie: In training?
Maya: I couldn't do something as amazing as contacting a spirit...
Maya felt bad she couldn't do anything right now. Hey, she wanted to if Maya could do it with enough training somehow for Phoenix and Cassie have to think of something else next. As for this lawyer to see Cassie to have a special gift, so did Mia and Maya has it to still be working on it.
Phoenix: (I guess it wouldn't be that easy, huh? And for someone like Cassie to not faze her about Maya or Mia having powers, she seems to have a very strong powers to sense anything from others...And I thought I've seen everything.)
Maya: By the way, Mr. Lawyer...Cassie...Could I ask you two for a favor? Um, could you contact a lawyer name Grossberg for me?
Looking for a man name Grossberg for Maya to ask for his help and not them?
Phoenix: Grossberg?
Cassie: Who's Grossberg?
Maya: My sister said if I ever in trouble, I should call him.
For Maya to ask for a different lawyer and not ask for Phoenix's help, wonder why?
Phoenix: You know, I'm a defense attorney, too.
Maya: But...You never believe me.
She sounded upset just saying it.
Cassie: What? We do!
Phoenix: Why do you think so?
From Phoenix sees Maya to look odd to show up where Mia was killed, so it was an accident to see her out of the blue.
Maya: Your eyes back then, Mr. Lawyer...
When Maya brought it up, of a flashback of Phoenix to spot Maya to show up crying to look shock but Cassie.
Phoenix: Y-You're...
End of flashback on what Maya was trying to say.
Cassie: Ouch...Well, he didn't mean to.
Cassie felt bad to make a whole lot of scene.
Maya: Yes, you looked at me like I'd done it.
That had Phoenix to feel bad to also have his jaw to drop.
Phoenix: No, I never thought...
Maya: It's okay. I understand.
From feeling silly, to Phoenix to lift his head back up to get to work and the same with Cassie to try helping him out as well. And for this, Cassie and Phoenix looked at each other for they know that giving this Grossberg the message to defend Maya in court, was her only chance to help her out either way.
Cassie: Phoenix, let's do this for Maya.
Phoenix: All right. So, Grossberg the lawyer, right, Maya? We'll go ask him for you.
Leave it to them who worked with Mia to help out the innocent Maya to have her name clear in court.
Cassie: Yeah! We'll help you out in any way we can to talk to Grossberg.
This makes Maya feel a bit better to leave this to Phoenix and Cassie.
Time: April 4
Location: Grossberg Law Offices
As they go to alert the other lawyer about this mess, as they headed to Grossberg's building of another law defense office who knows of Mia 'who he trained her a lot' and seeing Maya a lot. Once he heard the news to feel sad of Mia's loss, and seeing how well Phoenix was becoming a lawyer himself and Cassie who worked for Mia to to what he can. Nice office he had with a cool painting of a man in Africa whose also patting a animal.
?: Ah, my boy and young lady...So you two worked under Mia. She was my student. It's a shame what happened to her. Don't you two think so?
Grossberg Law Offices Chief – Marvin Grossberg
An understanding guy, isn't he? For Phoenix and Cassie to both get the point from this man.
Phoenix: Um, well...I'd like to ask you to defend Maya, her sister.
Cassie: Please, Mr. Grossberg, she's in real trouble.
Asking nicely for Cassie to beg for his help. Lucky with Marvin here was good to Mia and Maya to be a dear friend to them both. For he would help out the Fey sisters anytime.
Grossberg: Oh yes, Mia told me about her. Asked me to look after her if she were ever in trouble.
Phoenix: Then...?
Cassie: You will save Maya?
So in other words, Marvin will take the case on for Maya Fey. Alright!
Grossberg: Of course I'll defend her! If I, Marvin Grossberg, do not take this case, who will? Leave everything to me, young ones.
This makes everything good for Cassie to smile and Phoenix to bow down and say his thanks to Marvin.
Phoenix: Thank you so much!
Cassie: Yeah, thanks, Marvin!
As the two left the room, for Marvin will get to work right away.
Marvin: Goodbye, then.
The next thing for Marvin gets a phone call to answer it.
Marvin: Hello? This is Grossberg.
?: Long time, no talk...Mister Lawyer.
From the shocking look on Marvin's face and the man to have shining teeth when he grins to be calling Marvin, can only mean not good at all. He must be the real murderer. Calling it a day for Phoenix walks Cassie back to her apartment to see it for the first time 'since she has seen his so far', for all they can do now was wait within two days before the trial can begin.
Phoenix: Man, what a day...A lot to wait for Mr. Grossberg to take care of the rest for Maya.
Tiring, but Phoenix and Cassie can do their work to lend a hand for Maya and Marvin on everything they can to solving this murder case of Mia, for her sister's sake.
Cassie: Phoenix...?
Phoenix: Yeah! I'm fine. I just want to help out Maya. (Cassie's really cute!) Listen, Cassie, it'll all work out.
Cassie: I know, we will. And it was nice of you to walk me back at my apartment like this. I hope you'll be fine getting yourself back home.
Lucky they both exchange phone numbers with each other to call from time to time if they're not around when needed.
Phoenix: I'll be fine, I got a train to catch to go back to where my apartment is. With us exchanging phone numbers to keep contact with each other... (So far, so good.) I better get going. Are you sure you'll be okay alone?
He had to double check on how Cassie was holding up on her end.
Cassie: Yes, Phoenix, you silly. Now get back and I need some sleep for us to meet up tomorrow...At the office to find Maya's cell phone to then seeing the suspect at the hotel across from the building. Now get going. Good night. (Phoenix, he's strange but sweet to worry about me and others.)
For Cassie to be smiling and laughing to see how nice Phoenix for them to be smiling at each other before the young lawyer takes off to make his first move of getting Cassie's phone number by luck to look happy to soon ask her out.
Phoenix: Good night.
This has Phoenix as he unjust his tie of his suit and coming back from shopping a little, to then lying down on his bed to hope for the best until then as Phoenix stares at the ceiling of his apartment. For him to do what he could for Maya and looks at his attorney badge.
Phoenix: (I'm glad he agreed to defend her.) This is for the best, really.
As for Cassie back at her apartment to shower and then get ready for bed to be reading 'with the TV on' from the clues for Phoenix and Cassie have gotten about Maya and Mia to be sisters and what Maya does a lot as a spirit medium. A few more clues and suspect to learn about later. She loves these things to do what she can and for Phoenix for Mia Fey would've wanted it, for losing a teacher/friend was hard enough to not lose someone else again.
Cassie: Two sisters who are both Spiritual Mediums in the Fey name of the women, but for Mia to be a defense lawyer to end up killed...Damn. (Maya, both Phoenix and I promise you that you will be proven innocent by any means. I swear in Mia's name.)
A lo to do and enough for Cassie and Phoenix to get some sleep next, as somewhere at night time at the Prosecutor Building where Edgeworth works at in his room number #1202 for him to get the case he'll be working on to prove in Maya Fey's guilt. No...! A nice office he had to be drinking his tea to have a type of trophy on his chair, a chess place on the table, a statue of some samurai too, a vase of flowers, his other uniform jacket on the wall, and so much for a rich type of person. Almost...Looking at the latest murder case of Mia on who she is and how she died to all be on there.
(Case File
Name: Mia Fey
Sex: F
Age: 27
Estimated Time of Death: April 3, after 8 PM
Cause of Death: Blunt force trauma to the head)
Edgeworth: (Mia Fey, once a defense lawyer...I remember her.)
It appears Edgeworth remembers Mia's work before to see her in a few cases she's won and himself to go up again. Hmmm...Weird. Whatever this sneaky lawyer has in mind, it can't be good at all. The next day – Phoenix and Cassie meet with each other at the Fey & Co. Law Offices as promised to have a look around before the cops arrived to try giving Marvin a hand.
Cassie: Hey, Phoenix.
Cassie said to also see how different the room is since Mia was murder.
Cassie: Wow, look at the place. It looks so sad now.
Phoenix: Yeah, it does... (I still can't believe it. Mia...)
He look at Mia's old desk with her old laptop to her plant she took care of. Another flashback for Phoenix to see the plant for Mia who she named it Charlie when she was working for Cassie saw it a few times to help her out, and for him to see how Mia cares for the plant like this one.
Mia: Here's your dinner, Charley.
Mia waters Charlie for Phoenix was laughs.
Mia: What's so funny?
Phoenix: But it's just a so strange...Calling a potted plant 'Charley'.
He was just saying is all.
Mi: Really? 'Phoenix Wright' is a far stranger name, if you ask me.
Phoenix: That's not the point.
End of flashback of the good memories for Phoenix and Mia to be laughing together for he'll never forget his teacher, nor will Cassie. Soon she sees something in the pot of Charlie to spot an item in there.
Cassie: Huh? What's this...? (Maya's cell phone.) Hey, Phoenix! Come take a look at this! In Charlie!
He joins with Cassie to see it was Maya's cell phone. No doubt about it to look pink with a ribbon strap of a key chain on it.
Phoenix: Is this...Nice going, Cassie.
Phoenix looks at the phone for Cassie sees it behind his back to get information on her end.
Cassie: A voice message...Maya was right! Let's listen to it.
He plays the message of Mia talking to Maya from the other day...
Mia: [Then, the office tonight. Say 9:00 PM?]
Maya: [Okay, but I except dinner! Something good! Like burgers! I could really go for a good burger!]
Their first clue with the voice call message on there. Soon Gumshoe comes into the office to do his work, as he runs into Phoenix and Cassie.
Gumshoe: Oh?
Cassie: It's you again, Mr. Detective. (Really? At a time like this?)
Gumshoe: Hey, Kid, working again I see. And aren't you, uh...?
Phoenix introduces himself to Gumshoe next.
Phoenix: I'm Phoenix Wright, an attorney.
Gumshoe: Oh right! You've got an odd name, pal.
Oh, really...Besides Mia saying that to Phoenix about his name once, Gumshoe has an odd name himself.
Cassie: Really, Mr. Detective? Look who's talking.
Even Phoenix agrees with Cassie there to have weird names sometimes.
Phoenix: (Like you're the one to talk, Suedeshoes.)
Anyways, Gumshoe then sees Phoenix holding Maya's phone 'of course he doesn't know it's evidences to not care'. Not that I care, but what a clumsy detective Gumshoe is...
Gumshoe: What's with that girly cell phone? Is it yours, Kid?
Cassie: As if!
This has gotten Cassie mad to show Gumshoe her real cell phone.
Cassie: This is mine to be blue color! Pink is not my style!
For Phoenix forgotten he had it still in his hands to laugh and hides it behind his back.
Gumshoe: OK, kid, if you say so...
Gumshoe then laughs about Phoenix having Maya's phone.
Gumshoe: So a girly cell phone for a girly guy. Perfect fit.
Was Gumshoe making fun of Phoenix or being nice? Well the defense attorney himself couldn't help but to laugh a little.
Phoenix: No one's ever called me 'girly' before... (Maybe if Cassie would call me cute might be better.) So, Detective, have you figured anything out?
Cassie: If anything, we would like to know please, Mr. Detective? (But I doubt he'll say anything to us.)
Yeah, he's just doing his job...Or tries to to have Gumshoe laughing.
Gumshoe: Sorry, pal and you too kid, but I got no info to give an attorney! Or you either, kid!
Wrong idea, Gumshoe. Wow! For Marvin was defending Maya, while Phoenix and Cassie help him out gather some clues and such with suspect too.
Phoenix: (But I'm not defending her.)
From there, Cassie stops to get Gumshoe to talk somehow.
Cassie: But-! (Then again...This is our chance to get some information from him.)
For Cassie to be winking as Phoenix sees her plan to get some more information out of Gumshoe to be a bit clumsy to slip up. It was the only plan they can do for now.
Gumshoe: Well, there's one thing I can say for sure. There's no way you're winning tomorrow's trial, pal. Same with you too, kid, sorry.
Cassie: And why is that...?
Even Phoenix was since he was telling this to Phoenix and Cassie to be the first ones to know.
Phoenix: Yeah, w-why do you say that?
Gumshoe: They've put Mr. Edgeworth on the prosecution.
Once Gumshoe say Edgeworth's name, this comes to a surprise to Phoenix a lot more than the man's work.
Phoenix: Edgeworth?
Cassie: Edgeworth...? I've heard of the man who's the best prosecutor lawyer ever, but I didn't think he'll show up to a murder case like this one. He must be really good.
Gumshoe: Looks like both of you have heard of him...
There was a lot more for Phoenix knows from Edgeworth to also learn of his work...So much so to see how he does it.
Phoenix: (Of course I have.)
From Edgeworth slamming his hands on the table in court to pointing out with his finger to shout out these words...
Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!*
...And then getting back on what Phoenix was telling all about Edgeworth himself. As he was standing in front of other people near the stars to do interviews and taking pictures of Edgeworth shaking hands with his teacher who taught him everything who look fancy too 'more about that guy later on'.
Phoenix: (Miles Edgeworth...He hasn't lost a case since he became prosecutor at the incredibly young age of twenty. A man who will do anything for a 'guilty' verdict, he's a unprecedented genius prosecutor)
For Cassie still didn't know who Edgeworth was in person yet.
Cassie: Ah, Phoenix...? (I guess he does know who this Miles Edgeworth is, a whole lot from the looks of it.)
She could tell from the look on Phoenix's face. A lot for Phoenix to tell Cassie all about it later, but for right now...Back to Gumshoe to know about Edgeworth will win once again.
Gumshoe: So give up, go home, and cry into your pillow, pal.
Cassie: Oh really? Hey, Phoenix, follow my lead. We need more clues about the case.
He gives it a try with Cassie backing him up for Gumshoe won't say a word, or so he thinks...
Phoenix: By the way, Detective Gumshoe, what about that witness from last night?
The girl who say the danger from across the streets of the hotel building, who goes by the name of April May for Gumshoe to bring it up.
Gumshoe: You mean April May. Like I said, I'm not giving you any info, pal Nor to you either, kid.
Gumshoe spills the beans without knowing it.
Cassie: "April May", huh...?
That's one thing down so far for Cassie and Phoenix has gotten about April as a witness...
Phoenix: (Her name's April May, huh? Got it, Cassie, I'll see what I can ask for next.) She must've gone home by now, right?
Asking Gumshoe about it next...Not yet to be a good thing for the two to check out next and thanks to Gumshoe to be spilling it again. From him laughing to not say a word to Phoenix nor Cassie to be smart. Yeah, right...
Gumshoe: Who do you two think we are? Now way would we let her leave her room till the trial ends!
Another lead to have and Cassie to remember well as does Phoenix's the same.
Cassie: I see... (Wow, Mr. Detective, you sure know how to slip up without knowing about it.)
Cassie smirks a little.
Phoenix: (That means she's still in the hotel across the way.)
From the cell phone and April May to talk to at the hotel was their next thing to take care of next. Thanks for everything, Gumshoe.
Gumshoe: You see, kid? I know my role to do my job right. My lips are sealed tighter than a bank vault, pal!
Going along with the whole thing for Phoenix to get it to smile with a salute hand.
Phoenix: Got it, pal!
Once they leave the office building for Gumshoe and the other officers to get back to work, this allow for Cassie and Phoenix to have a word with April while also searching for other clues. Across from the law and office building was the Bando Hotel. Nice place! Or the Gates Water Hotel.
Cassie: This is it...The Gates Water Hotel, also known as the Bando for a funny nickname.
Entering inside to go near April's room 303 to try to see if she was still in there and not out of the hotel rooms.
Phoenix: Looks like it. (The key witness, April May...This must be her room.)
He tries knocking on her door.
Phoenix: Um, anyone here?
Doesn't sound like it...
Cassie: Hmm...No one's in-! Wait, Phoenix. The door's open. See? Who leaves the hotel door open while you're staying? Sounds like a break in from the looks of it. Still, we need to go in there.
And so they do to opening the door all the way for Phoenix and Cassie both sneak inside to see if April was in her room somewhere.
Phoenix: Cassie...? (Bad idea, but what other choice do we have?) Excuse us...
Looking around the room to have two beds, with a nice window view, with a TV, a table with two chairs, and seeing from the window back at Mia's office was Gumshoe and the other officers to be working hard.
Cassie: There goes Mr. Detective and the other cops.
Phoenix: Looks like it. (Look at them go.)
Just then, on the table had something to be very important...from two wine glass since April was the only one in the room to have someone else, a box kit of wire cores and such, and a funny looking screwdriver with diamonds on it. What a weird looking screwdriver. But it looks like they have a few more clues/evidences. As Cassie gets some of this whole thing down, and Phoenix to pick up the screwdriver in his hands.
Cassie: We got more evidences to have, Phoenix. Look at these. Also, there are two wine glasses. (I thought April was the only one in her room, was she having someone else over?)
Phoenix: A flashy screwdriver?
Freaking out to hear a noise to drop the screwdriver under the bed to get it, but Phoenix soon discovers something else underneath the bed for another clue to find with another diamonds on it to be part of someone's fancy suit.
Cassie: Phoenix, you've found another clue...A strange cuffs with diamonds on it. What could all of this mean?
It means something's up. Just then, they hear a woman's voice to be April who's in the shower to think it was some Bellboy person to bring her a drink she requested. Bad timing...!
April: Is that you, bellboy?
She calls him out in a sexy way to be showing her legs from the bathroom a little.
April: Leave the wine there, would you?
Not good! Phoenix and Cassie have to get what they can and getting out.
Cassie: Ah, Phoenix...
Carefully, Cassie whispers to Phoenix to do something. As he tries to sound different to answer back to April.
Phoenix: N-No thanks!
Putting the screwdriver back to tripping over a trash can to pick the pieces to put back in to see something on the floor of a wire tap machine.
Phoenix: Another clue...
Cassie: It's a wiretap. I think we got what we needed, Phoenix, let's get out of here.
And they do just in time before the real Bellboy appears to bring April the drink. Cassie leaves first for Phoenix to follow her 'as he also acts normal around the Bellboy' to join with her outside of the hotel just in time to get what needed to be done. As for talking to April, that would have to wait in court tomorrow.
Phoenix: Man...What was close...! I'm sorry, Cassie! Please forgive me! I didn't look at April naked or never dream to-!
Phoenix felt bad to see a bit of April's leg expose to apologize to Cassie so much.
Cassie: Wait, wait, Phoenix. Why do you have to apologize for? April just did it out of nowhere...Anyways, we have this baby here to help us out for tomorrow's trial.
From the clues they've found at April's hotel room, like the wiretap will be very useful to them.
Phoenix: Looks like it. Is this really a wiretap?
Cassie: Seems like it. Those things care very illegal to use on other people's phone calls, it can get you arrested for the rest of your life time.
So true...Soon, Phoenix gets a phone call to be Marvin, only to bring him and Cassie some very bad news.
Phoenix: Hello? Oh, Mr. Grossberg...
As Marvin was talking to Phoenix and Cassie to listen in, he looked sad in his office.
Grossberg: I'm truly sorry, but I can't take the case.
Once he said that, it was very bad news...
Cassie: What?! Why?
Phoenix: But you agreed yesterday! Please! The client is Mia's sister!
No matter what Phoenix or Cassie say to Marvin, he was force to say no.
Grossberg: I know that...But I'm sorry, to both of you and Maya as well.
Phoenix: Could you at least refer another attorney?
Phoenix begged of Marvin.
Cassie: Please, Marvin!
Cassie tries to help out Phoenix to talk some sense into Marvin. It was really hard for them more than it was for the other two.
Marvin: Terribly sorry, my boy. And you too, young lady. But I'm afraid no lawyer worth their salt would take this on.
Phoenix: W-Why? I mean-
And Marvin hangs up on Phoenix to end the phone call in shame. With the room to be dark and quiet 'to also be missing a big painting on his wall', something was up for the real killer said something mean to Marvin to not defend Maya Fey at all. For the sad signs has the rain pour all over for Phoenix to be riding his bike 'as Cassie holds on to ride with him'. Trying to see other lawyers to try finding other ways to have someone defend Maya before tomorrow. For the rain was pouring down hard to have cheery blossoms to fall of its petals...Stopping the bike, the two had to think of something.
Cassie: This sucks...Not only am I'm getting completely wet, but we're having trouble finding another lawyer to defend Maya. What can we do, Phoenix?
Looking upset to try to do something to not have Maya not like Phoenix was when he was a kid.
Phoenix: I don't know, Cassie...What am I...Or the two of us supposed to say to her?
A flash back shows of a raining day for Phoenix had trouble walking back to his own to be down pouring...As a little girl with an umbrella walks by the young Phoenix, but she comes back to place her umbrella under Phoenix's head to keep him dry; only to cut to the next part of Phoenix crying at school for all the kids call him a thief 'even the girl he became friends with, but no more'.
Children: Thief!
All over the class for the teacher to watch the whole thing for Phoenix was feeling upset, as the other kids and the girl kept calling the poor boy a thief over and over again as he kept on saying to them...
Phoenix: It wasn't me...It wasn't me! I didn't do it!
End of flash back...As Cassie didn't want to see Maya in jail through the rest of her life and Phoenix tilting his head to the skies to be raining on him, to know what he and Cassie can't give up hope on her. From there and Maya to look upset still back at her jail cell, to be sleeping with tears coming out of her eyes.
Phoenix: (Right now, she's in the same position as I was in!)
Getting back on his bike to make a few more rounds with Cassie by Phoenix's side.
Cassie: Phoenix? I take it you have something else in mind?
Phoenix: It does, Cassie. Hold on to me.
As they went to a few more places to find some lawyer who might help them out, then hours later as Phoenix and Cassie returned back to the Detention Center to meet up with Maya again to both look a lot wet from the rain to try drying themselves off before seeing Maya in the visitor's room. Good thing the cops gave them some towels.
Cassie: Ah! We're all wet!
Cassie dries herself off, as Phoenix finds her to be cute even more to try helping her out somehow to dry her legs to lend a hand.
Phoenix: Hey, Cassie...
He moves slowly to Cassie's legs.
Cassie: Phoenix! What are you doing?
This felt funny when being touched like this differently.
Phoenix: Sorry! I'm trying to make it quick, but not so rough.
Phoenix kept drying Cassie off slowly to then be smelling her hair to feel nice.
Phoenix: (Such an amazing scent she has.)
A cute moment to be going on for Cassie helps out Phoenix to dry his hair off carefully.
Cassie: (Phoenix...) Hey, let me help you out too.
It feels good on Phoenix's head for Cassie to lend him a hand next and for him to love the feeling.
Phoenix: Thank you... (I wish this feeling never ends...)
But sadly, it does to get back to work for Maya to be sitting down.
Cassie: It's time...Thanks for helping me out, Phoenix, now we can get back to work. Let's go talk to Maya. Hey, Maya!
As Cassie sits down first and Phoenix next for Maya to see and hear on what news they've for her so far...A sad one but for them to not give up just yet. For Phoenix goes first to be bowing for forgiveness to Maya.
Phoenix: I'm sorry.
Cassie: Please forgive us, Maya! It doesn't mean we're not giving up at all!
For Maya knew about this part for they're really trying.
Maya: None of this isn't any of your faults. I've been abandoned, huh?
Don't give up hope just yet...
Phoenix: Like Cassie said, that's not true. Err...
Phoenix shows his notebook on a few lawyers he and Cassie are seeing.
Phoenix: Look! These two said they'd hear us out. Don't give up!
For Maya's eyes wide open to see from a few pages saying 'Kyle Rivers Law Offices' to a few more to also have...a few blossom petals on the pages. As Maya started to cry a little to see some type of miracle before her own eyes.
Cassie: Maya, we'll do what needs to be done. Won't we, Phoenix? We're going to see this one right away.
For Cassie to get up from her seat and Phoenix to get going as he places his notebook back in his jacket.
Phoenix: We'll go see them now. We still have time!
Soon to also see more petals on Phoenix's back, to Cassie on her hair, to also have one to fall on the desk, Maya gets up out of her seat to say something to the two...For Cassie to guess on what's to come next to let her partner know about it.
Cassie: Huh?
She sees it from Phoenix looking at Maya and for her to be crying.
Cassie: Hey, Phoenix, look.
From the sun to shine and the rain to finally stop and for more petals to fall in the puddles, soon Maya's tightens her fist to stand tall and to walk up to the window to ask Phoenix something.
Maya: Mr. Lawyer...Cassie...
And Phoenix does the same thing on the other side of the room too.
Phoenix: Maya...
And then both Maya and Phoenix say this together...
Maya: Please defend me!
Phoenix: Please let me defend you!
Yep, to their surprise and allowing them to do it and Cassie to make a peace sign with her hands to agree on them both.
Cassie: Oh, we're so in.
It's official then.
Maya: Gladly-
Phoenix: I'll be glad to-
As they said to also be bowing down to each other...too close to the window to be hitting their heads really hard.
Phoenix Ow!
Maya: Ouch...
And they just laugh together for Phoenix and Cassie will be defending Maya and she agrees with them, for tomorrow's the trial.
Cassie: We're in then. Thanks for trusting in us, Maya.
Cassie said to then rubs Phoenix's head to make sure he was not seriously hurt.
Cassie: Hey, Phoenix, I think you'll be fine. It just a little bump.
Her hands were soft to feel good on Phoenix's head to make it much better.
Phoenix: So good...Anyways, Maya, we'll do what we can. Just leave everything to Cassie and me.
And they will do it too. The next day...A brand new day to start, as Edgeworth to drives his nice looking car to get to the court house right away, while Phoenix gives Cassie a bike ride to the court as well. With a lot of media standing near the entrance for Edgeworth to part his car and the officers opening the door for him to walk inside.
Business People: Mr. Edgeworth!
Man, he looks ready to take on anyone.
Prosecutor Attorney – Miles Edgeworth
And Phoenix and Cassie both arrive there next 'and just in time' for them to park the bike with the others and head inside too.
Defense Attorney – Phoenix Wright
Murder Mystery Solver – Cassie Freeman
Phoenix: Get ready, Cassie, this will be the first time we're going up against Edgeworth himself. He may look calm and such, but he's more trouble than he's worth.
So Cassie has heard a lot about the man only but never in person but she will in a bit.
Cassie: I know, Phoenix, I've read about Edgeworth. But as long as you and I can put our skills to good use, we'll prove in Maya's innocents in no time. Still... (Phoenix seems to know Edgeworth, a lot more than hearing about his work.) Ah, how bad can he really be anyway?
Only one way to find out inside the courtroom itself.
Time: April 6, 9:10 AM
Location: District Court – Courtroom No. 1
For Phoenix and Cassie take their stands on their side of the defense part, only with Mia Fey to be their for them anymore.
Cassie: (Mia, I promise we'll save your sister.)
And Phoenix tries to be brave like Cassie was on her end, to be looking where Mia once stood by his side was hard to believe she was really killed.
Phoenix: (Last time, I had Mia by my side. But today, Cassie and I must fight alone to save her sister!)
And making his way to the prosecutor's side of the stands was Edgeworth to walk through the door to open up. For Phoenix to tighten his hand into a fist to really know Edgeworth a lot to finally seeing him again 'somehow' for Cassie keeps that part to herself until she'll learn more one day.
Cassie: So that's Edgeworth himself...
As Edgeworth bows to the Judge, Phoenix says these few things to him before they could begin.
Phoenix: It's been a while, Edgeworth.
He sees Phoenix to know him very well too.
Edgeworth: What in the world are you doing here, Phoenix Wright?
And with that, this leaves Cassie in shock and confused about those two to be left out.
Cassie: Huh...?! You two know each other already?! Like this much?! Sorry...We'll talk about it later, Phoenix, I know. This trial comes first. (Okay, Cassie, give it your all. You can solve another murder mystery like this one.)
Phoenix: Thank you, Cassie.
Phoenix was ready to take on Edgeworth in a reunion like this one to hold on to his attorney badge with his hand, to let go of his badge from holding it, and slams his hands on the table, and points out.
Phoenix: (At last...At last, I've come this far. I became an attorney to stand in this courtroom. Let me show you, Miles Edgeworth, what Phoenix Wright, attorney at law, is made of! With Cassie Freeman by my side!) *OBJECTIONS*!
What happens next is for Phoenix and Cassie to do their part to save Maya against the toughest prosecutor lawyers ever...Miles Edgeworth himself. Let the murder trial begin!
