Gumshoe and Evil Phoenix disembarked the plane.

"Ok pal now what?" asked Gumshoe.

"It's simple, Gumshoe," said Evil Phoenix. "Good Phoenix AKA the Real Evil Phoenix must be hiding Maya and Edgeworth somewhere else. That means we must look somewhere else."

"Good idea."

"Also, we must enlist the aid of my nephew John Phoenix. He is the best lawyer ever. From the satellite I watched over him. I was always with him. I'm just sorry I couldn't watch him grow up from a baby to a grown man in two months time in person." His eyes hardened. "Good Phoenix will pay for his sins."

MEANWHILE IN A DUNGEON

Edgeworth was being stretched on the rack.

"My logic!" he exclaimed as his bones were longified. "This is worse torture than reading Turnabout Everlasting by Jordan Phoenix!"

Good Phoenix AKA the Real Evil Phoenix walked into the room chuckling.

"So sorry to torture you, Edgeworthless, but I'm evil so I have no choice."

He flipped a lightswitch and flamethrowers and buzzsaws came out of panels in the walls and got dangerously close to Edgeworth's naked flesh.

"No, Wright!" cried Edgeworth desperately. "You don't have to be evil! You can overcome this! Your evil twin brother who's actually good may have been the man who saved me from the darkness, but you were still that little boy who cried in that class trial all those years ago."

Real Evil Phoenix patted his mouth and yawned. "Your point?"

"If you can cry... you must not be truly evil!"

Real Evil Phoenix only laughed cruelly.

"It appears you have become too sentimental, 'old friend'... you don't understand that evil is a real tangible force in this world, not just a concept. You will learn."

He took a page of Turnabout Everlasting out the garbage and threw it at Edgeworth. It landed over his eyes and he screamed like a little girl.

In the other room, Maya trembled. Just what tortures were waiting for her?
