CHAPTER 6: THE STORY UNFOLDS

"And thus the guests finally made their appearance..." the old man wrote, before turning around to see his guests and he closed his book. "I welcome you back to Labyrinthia, Professor Layton and his friend whose name I forget."

"Hey, it's PHOENIX WRIGHT, I was literally the town hero back in the magic days!" shouted Phoenix.

"Calm down Nick," said Maya. "Hi there Storyteller we hear you're a mad lad and probably have connections to this mad man we're looking for."

"Ho. I see you have a refined taste in mad men. Very well. If I cannot help you immediately, I shall invest billions into ensuring you get what you have come for soon enough."

"Excellent," said Storm. "We're looking for the scientist known as Madd Mann."

"I do not know anyone of that name."

"Wellllllll that figures," said Maya. "He IS like 200 years old or something."

"WAIT," said Rocco. "My hypersensitive sense of smell is picking something up."

"Hypersensitive smell?" asked Edgeworth. "Well you ARE an animal I suppose."

Rocco sniffed the floor and eventually bonked his head on a door. The door had a big silver lock on it.

"What's behind there?" asked Storm.

"I don't know, it's been there ever since I was born but I've never been back there, the key belongs to a wealthy landlord who passed away several years ago." said the Storyteller.

"Odd..." said Storm, deciding to keep a note of this. "Anyway cmon boy let's go."

Rocco went to follow Storm out but he tripped over something. He fell flat on the floor and the floor bent downwards.

"ROCCO, YOU PUT A DENT IN THE FLOOR!"

"Sorry hippie." grunted Rocco, but then he tripped again and fell through the floor.

Storm ran to where Rocco fell and saw that that dent he made was actually a button that unlocked a hidden door in the floor.

"ROCCOOOOO ARE YOU OKAYYYYYYYYYYYY?"

"Yes hippie I'm fine, come on down."

Storm and the others climbed down into the passage. It was a very dusty passage, but there disturbances.

"Someone has been here recently," said Storm. Everyone looked at the Storyteller.

"Hey don't look at me I didn't know this was here."

They went down the hall for a bit until they finally found a glowing light. They all peeked around the corner and saw a big shelled monster.

"Oh shit it's Bowser," said Rocco.

"You know that guy?" said Maya.

"Yeah, he's the guy who destroyed Tom Nook's time machine."

"Wow, we needed that," said Storm.

"Shhh, guys can we please just listen," said Edgeworth.

"Gahahahahah gereererrer garargregerrr erregarrrr,"

"God I can't understand a word of this," said Rocco.

"SHHH, someone else is about to speak," said Edgeworth.

"Yes milord we have contained Mario within Hotel Dusk and shall execute him shortly."

"HOTEL DUSK?!" shouted Phoenix, which alerted Bowser and the minion to their presence.

"Aw shit sorry man I didn't mean to eavesdr-" Phoenix tried to excuse himself only to have his hair burned off!"

"GRAARRRGRARGR GARRR GARRR" shouted Bowser!"

"What?" said the minion.

Bowser cleared his throat.

"Arrest all of them."
