CHAPTER 9: DANGER
"Danger danger Storm is dead," said the emoglobins inside Storm's body.
"Not on my watch," said the purple emoglobin.
===OUTSIDE===
Phoenix, Rocco and the others were crying at the feet of the hill.
"Please Storm come back to life you didn't deserve this," they cried. Then the ground shook and Storm was alive, and he was BIG!
"I'd like to know the sciences behind this," Storm's big voice boomed across the world. He turned and saw the hill approach him and it slapped him in the face.
"Storm you must fight it do you need me to teach you how to fight like a giant?" shouted Edgeworth.
"What no what kind of kid do you think I am," said Storm and he crushed Edgeworth for his insult, then Edgeworth became big too.
"Woooow, Professor, step on me!" said Phoenix.
"No, that's weird!" said Layton but he grabbed his foot and slammed it onto his face, but nothing happened.
Meanwhile Storm picked up Edgeworth's giant body and threw it at the hill and it skidded and slipped on the snow. Then it stood up and pushed its arms in front of it and it thrusted towards Storm like a rocket, but then Edgeworth grabbed his cravat and swung it like a baseball bat the the arm flew into space!
Then Storm stepped on the hill.
"WAIT NO YOU IDIOT THAT'LL JUST MAKE IT BIGGER!" shouted Edgeworth.
"No it's okay look it's dead."
"Oh phew," said Edgeworth then they both returned to normal size.
Phoenix ran into the hill to look for Maya.
"MAYA ARE YOU OKAY?" he shouted.
A figure appeared in the doorway and out stepped Maya.
"That was fun!"
"God dammit Maya." said Phoenix. "So what was in there?"
"Crazy stuff, come on Nick come in and look!"
The others followed Maya into the hill and they found a weird set of machinery.
"What's all this for?" said Phoenix.
"It appears this hill is used to store stuff in ice, like our Japanese friend here," Edgeworth patted the shroob who growled at him in response.
"They walked through the hall and saw people trapped in ice."
"Do you think one of these guys is Madd Mann?" said Storm.
"That's likely. If Madd Mann were trapped in ice, it would explain both why Maya wasn't able to channel him and how he would be able to be alive today."
"So let's free him!"
"Good idea."
"Hey Nick what does this button do?" said Maya pressing a big red button.
"Maya stop pressing random buttons!" shouted Phoenix fearing for his life once again. Fortunately, all it did was turn off the lights in one section of the freezers. The ice in the freezer slowly melted, and they immediately took interest in the oldest person there, who also looked like a scientist.
"MADD MANN IS THAT YOU?" shouted Storm.
"My ears! Me hearing ain't what it used to be," said Madd.
"Oh sorry."
"Ooh me is this the future, greetings futurelings I am Madd Mann and I a-"
"GWAHAHAHAHAHAHA thank you all for tying up this loose end," said a voice then Bowser came through the ceiling.
"Bowser I thought the Storyteller ensured you wouldn't return!"
"Yeah but one of my best koopas came and tore the page out of his Story so now I'm free and London is FROZEN gahahaha!"
"Your shit taste in movies aside you don't belong here so we're gonna have to kill you now that you're useless," said Phoenix.
"Not today Phoenix, for I have a great Story written about me," laughed Bowser, then he punched everyone in the face one by one and grabbed Madd Mann and ran away.
"Agghh, we've got to stop that guy," said Phoenix.
"Wait look there's a letter on the floor," said Storm, picking it up. "It says: Dear Phoenix if you come after me I shall murder your loved ones. What could that mean?"
"Wait a minute he took Edgeworth Maya and the Professor too oh NO!" shouted Phoenix.
"Why are you so bad at taking care of your friends hippie?" grunted Rocco.
"Regardless we shall not stop because of this 'cause they'd die anyway, how do we get to Bowser's Castle unnoticed."
Storm, Phoenix and Rocco pondered this for a while but they were not smart enough to come up with a way to save their friends.
"It seems you people need the help of a Great Detective," said someone from inside the freezer. Storm, Phoenix and Rocco turned to it ready to fight, but they saw two friendly looking people step out from the ice. One, a Japanese man wearing blue English clothes, the other a British man dressed in a coat and hat of a 20th century detective. Phoenix immediately recognized them.
"This can't be... I've seen you two somewhere before... but how can it be?"
"Who're you?" said the guy in black only to be stopped by a big hug from Phoenix.
"You're my great great grandfather, Ryuunosuke Naruhodou!"
