A/N: It's been three thousand years since we last met (well not really, but if feels like that) and now we're back!

So, I'd just like to first of all thank CrazyBlueOwl, Ayano's Theory of Relativity (yes, I did mix them up and I've fixed that), DrakonOwl21995, cghe (Book Selling is kind of original, but is based on the selling games that they've had, My Great Idea to Change the World is taken from their presentation challenges, Impractical Oracles is based off them, The Wheel of Doom; Liar, Liar, Stuff on Fire!; U No Me, Rite?; A Case of Demigods Leading the Blind; are all mostly based off the show. The others are sort of ideas taken and moulded in a different way), LegitMistress123 (I don't doubt you at all), Guest (safety first!), Neutrino 2000, the Girlster (yes, there are mistakes, I've fixed them. Actually I wrote Percy's challenge as Leo's first and then interchanged them. Guess I forgot some things), juanitolarocca, ConnorPerson, Guest, Someone the World Forgot, Anne Trent, and update.

Military professionals are usually exempt from the normal laws of civilians, or at least for a while. As such, in Camp Jupiter this is almost partly true…. and this means that it is even harder for them to find people willing to oversee military tribunals. As such, Camp Jupiter sent out a notice looking for upstanding citizens willing to preside over small disputes.

Unfortunately, all they got was Percy, Leo, Frank, and Jason and were therefore forced, with no choice, to use them. As you can imagine, they have no intention of doing things properly.

Each candidate has been assigned a case (given by the others) and so will have to be the judge and hand down the decision. As such, this is a 'Refuse You Lose' contest as well, but in addition to that, they must make sure that the decision is not later appealed to a higher court, and that no one finds out that it is a television show, and in addition that no one complains to Reyna.

Our first candidate up was Frank. Now, this posed certain problems considering that fact that he was Praetor now and all, so they circumvented all the issues it would cause by having Frank's case between two Greek demigods who were just visiting.

Both of them were boys, one was about fourteen and had black hair and the other looked about the same age with blonde hair. They were both wearing baseball league uniforms for some reason.

The guard outside introduced the two. He pointed to the one with black hair and said, "This is Marco. He has a complaint against Matt, who he says stole his, um, Pokewalker?"

"What's a Pokewalker?" Frank asked.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Leo said. "Seriously Frank? A Pokewalker is something that you use in the games Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver. And what is this guy doing? Those games were released ages ago. He should be done with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire by now."

"You have waaay too much time on your hands, Leo," Percy said.

"Considering the fact that we've spent so much time filming all of this, I think we can safely say that we all have too much time on our hands," Jason said.

After the guy was done repeating what Leo had explained, the guard says, "Matt says that he didn't steal it."

"Shouldn't this normally be done in a civilian court?" Frank asked. "I mean, these two aren't even citizens of Rome, or soldiers."

"Yes, but there really isn't any civilian court here," the guard muttered sheepishly. "We've never needed them."

"So, what makes you think, Marco, that Matt was the one who did it?" Frank asked.

"Okay, Frank, while this guy's talking, I want you to look at your phone and change the ringtone on it to a setting that I added," Leo said.

"Wait- you took Frank's phone without him knowing?" Percy asked.

"No, I was going for Jason's phone to delete some photographs," Leo said, "but then I found out that it was Frank's phone and thought, 'why not?'"

"Because it's stealing Leo and invasion of privacy," Jason said. "That's why not."

"Tell that to the NSA," Leo muttered.

Marco began speaking. "So, we were playing a friendly game of baseball, when Matt was pitching." He frowned as he noticed that Frank was looking at his phone while he was talking, but because no one had given him any indication to stop, he continued talking. "And then, something slipped out of his pocket, and it turned out it was a Pokewalker. Some of the other guys noticed, and then I heard him tell them that he had stolen it from some kid. Mine went missing about a week ago, so then I thought, that that must be it."

At this very moment, Leo called Frank's number on his phone.

Suddenly, music began playing as Frank's phone rang. It went, 'I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie World, Life's so-"

"Don't pick it up!" Percy said. "Let it ring, and then ask which idiot left their phone on in a courtroom. Then, wait a while before realizing that was your own phone."

"Okay, who's phone is that?" Frank asked angrily. "This is a courtroom! You people should have the basic decency to switch off their phones when you're in a court room. I'm going to have whoever's phone is ringing held in contempt of court."

Scared, the other people began checking their pockets to see if they had accidentally left their phones on. About fifteen seconds of ringing later, Frank suddenly said, "Oh wait, my bad, that's my phone that's ringing."

If Marco and Mark had any doubts about the Roman justice system, they had probably cemented into certainties.

"So, what does the defendant have to say?" Frank asked.

"I'm not guilty!" Mark said. "I swear, this is my Pokewalker! I can explain. See, I don't usually carry it around with me but I forgot to take it off today and then it fell out when we were playing baseball. So, then one of the guys saw it and they began laughing and started singing the Pokemon theme song. So you know, I started getting embarrassed and said that it wasn't mine. To explain it, I did what any rational person would do: I said that I had stolen it from some kid on the bus. But then this guy came and started shouting at me and then we got into a fight and all."

Mark ended with that.

"Wait, he did what now?" Leo asked, grinning. "It seems that Frank isn't going to be the funniest thing in this segment."

Frank looked at Mark for a second. "How is anyone going to believe that? Can you prove that this Pokewalker is indeed, yours?"

"The guy was embarrassed to be playing Pokemon?" Percy asked. "He should've just said, nah man, that's nothing, the judge here in Rome has the Barbie theme song set as his ringtone."

"Yeah, I mean all the Pokemon in there are mine," Mark said.

"I lost mine a week ago!" Marco said. "He could've just erased the data and then started a new game on it!"

"Why would I even steal one then?" Mark asked.

"I don't know, maybe you lost yours!" Marco said.

Frank sighed and put his head in his hands. Of course, this meant that the whole thing could probably never be resolved now. Once again, his phone began ringing because Leo had called it, but Frank shut it off before he could be told to do otherwise.

"Okay, this is what I've decided," Frank said. "Since neither of you seem to be able to prove your points, the case is dismissed and all charges against Mark are dropped."

That was done, but the case was eventually appealed for in a higher court, though in the end it turned out that Marco found his Pokewalker with someone else and Mark had been telling the truth. Bad luck then.

Result: Frank gets a negative point.

Next up was Jason.

As he was simply an ex-Praetor, he was going to be dealing with some Romans this time.

As it turned out, Jason was dealing with yet another case involving theft. This one, however, involved actual Roman soldiers finding someone stealing.

"So, in essence, this is what happened," a legionnaire said. "This man," she said, pointing to a young son of Mercury, "was caught red-handed stealing the legion's prized golden eggwich."

"What's an eggwich?" Jason asked.

"A sandwich made using an egg as one of the things you put in between the slices," the other guard explained.

"And why is this so special?" Jason asked.

"Well, it is the special golden eggwich," the guard said. "Legend has it that there is a special golden rooster which lives at the top of an insurmountable mountain that lies at the place where the sun sets in the east. Once every thousand years, the rooster lays an egg and a legendary golden eggwich is made."

Frank scratched his head. "How come I've never heard of something like that? Leo, did you hire some guys for this?"

"What, you guys think that I'd do something like that? Go behind all of your backs and hire some people to mess with you during a contest?" Leo asked innocently. "Well, I have to admit that it is really a great idea, but this isn't on me."

"Jason, there are a lot of contradictions in that statement," Percy said. "Give them a Phoenix Wright pose and scream 'Hold it!' and tell them all the contradictions, and say that you're going to have to give them a penalty."

Jason made a Phoenix Wright pose, which is basically just dramatically pointing your finger at someone and said, "Hold it! There's a contradiction in your statement!"

Jason then said, "First of all, roosters don't lay eggs. Second of all, the sun doesn't set in the east anywhere. Then, if the mountain is insurmountable, where did someone get the egg from?"

The guard shrugged. "Look, we don't know the details exactly, but it is supposed to be a special sandwich."

"Well then, just for that I'm going to have to give you a penalty," Jason said.

"What's that?"

"Jason, explain it like it is in the video games," Leo said.

"Okay, basically both of you have a sort of health bar, and every time you mess up I'll take some points away by giving you a penalty, and when your health runs to zero you'll lose the case," Jason said. "Any questions?"

The defendant raised his hands. "Do we get health potions? Or healers?"

This was enough to set all the others guffawing. "Is nothing going to be taken seriously today?" Leo asked.

"Why are we even here when these things are so hilarious by themselves?" Percy asked.

"No," Jason replied. "Now let's start with…. how does the defendant plead?"

"Not guilty, Your Honor," the defendant said. "Just hear me out for a moment and I'll tell you the truth."

"Jason, scream, 'You can't handle the truth!'" Frank said.

"You can't handle the truth!" Jason shouted.

There was an awkward silence.

And then there was more awkward silence.

"I felt like I needed to say that," Jason said. "So, let's start then. If the defendant is pleading not guilty, I'll hear the report of the legionnaires first."

One of them stood up, saluted and began. "We were on patrol outside the kitchens where the sandwich was being kept. We heard a commotion and saw this thief, and he had already taken a bite out of the golden eggwich for himself. As such, we present our first exhibit."

A guard marched up holding a plate with a sandwich which had a bite taken out of it, and it was reverently placed on a table with importance.

"Now, he denied having stolen the sandwich," the guard continued, "so we frisked him, and eventually a key fell out of the bottom of his trousers, which means he had hidden it, uh… well… you know."

The key was also brought forward in a tray and placed on the table.

"The key is the one to the cabinet where the special golden eggwich was kept," the guard continued. "And it could only be opened with that key, not with one of a child of Mercury's gifts. So, I believe that more than enough points to his guilt."

The defendant was brought next and said, "But I'm innocent! See, it totally went like this. I was just hanging around, you know, like a totally innocent bystander. Then, I heard something going around in the kitchen. So, I went near the window to investigate, and I saw a thief taking the golden eggwich from the stand! Then, the thief, discovering that he had been discovered, left, but before running off, realized that he was going to be caught, stuffed the eggwich in my mouth, after taking a bite-"

"Dude, that's just gross," Frank said.

"-and then, he forced the key down my pants and ran off. I was then caught and brought before you right here," the guy finished.

"So, essentially what you're saying is that someone stole the golden eggwich, stuffed it in your mouth, and then put the key in your underwear and left before being seen by anyone else?" Jason asked.

"Well, when you say it like that it sounds ridiculous," the guy said.

"How do you say something like that and not have it sound ridiculous?" Percy asked.

"It is ridiculous," the guard said. "I say that you should pronounce a verdict of guilty, Your Honor, as quickly as possible."

The defendant began protesting, and a bedlam of argument erupted in the courtroom.

"Jason, open your phone, turn the volume up as loud as possible, and start playing Candy Crush Saga on it," Percy said.

Even over the noise, the sound of the oh-too recognizable game was heard loud and clear and everyone stopped shouting for a second as they turned to Jason, who closed the game.

"No matter what they say, deny that you were playing the game for as long as possible," Leo said.

"Were you just playing Candy Crush?" one of the guards asked.

"Nope," Jason said.

"But we just heard it!" someone else protested.

"No I wasn't," Jason said unflinchingly.

"Okay man, even I heard the music," the defendant said.

"You keep quiet," Jason muttered. "You've done nothing but lie since you've got here."

"Okay, so I was lying about all of that stuff about not stealing the golden eggwich, but I'm not lying now," the defendant said.

"Ah ha!" Jason said. "And now, you have confessed, which I knew you would all along if I did that! And so, another case has been solved and closed by Judge Jason, using my ability to manipulate that ficklest of creatures, human nature."

"Stop trying to sound cool, Judge Judy," Leo said.

As such, the case was solved, and not appealed higher up.

Result: Jason passed.

A/N: And that ends our chapter for now. Good news is we're back, and we'll be back on schedule with weekly updates, for now. I hope I was able to bring back some of the old magic in this one.

Thanks for reading, and as always, do review if you liked!
