The Wedding of Phoenix and Maya Wright

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!" screamed Phoenix. "RELEASE ME AT ONCE!"

"Ha ha, you're quite the joker Mr. Wright," the priest chuckled. "Anyway, hm, I'm not quite sure what I'm meant to say but yeah, these two love each other and will now vow to stay by each other's side for eternity. Maya, do you take Phoenix as your holy wedded husband?"

"Hell yeah I do!" said Maya.

"And Phoenix, do you take Maya as your wife?"

"NO! FUCK YOU!" shouted Phoenix but then someone jumped out from the crowd and and grabbed his jaw.

"I. DO." muttered the man as he pulled Phoenix's jaw to match those words.

"Excellent, now-"

"THAT WAS A LIE FATHER!"

"Too late, now, if there are no further objections..."

Phoenix screwed his eyes shut, there was no saving himself now. The church was painfully silent... except for the footsteps rushing to the altar.

"...I announce that Phoenix and Maya are now lawfully hu-"

Just before the priest could make their union official, he stopped speaking as he was cut off! Somebody had dashed up to the altar and punched the priest square in the nose! When the guards came to apprehend him, he pulled a sword out of one of the suits of armor and swung it around haphazardly in a way that still looked cool, disarming the guards in the process. He then cut the ropes that tied Phoenix and he opened his eyes.

"I object, father," said the protestor. "I have unfinished business with my friend, the groom."

Phoenix got ready for a fight, but then saw who it really was and did not relax at all.

"ARGUS HAKAN?"

Argus grabbed Phoenix and they battled through the crowd that had come to watch, all who were armed with weapons that were no match for Argus' pathetic swordsmanship. They ran out of the court and Phoenix had to lie down because it'd been years since he'd run so much.

"COME BACK MR. GROOM!" shouted some people, but then they stopped. "Wait a minute that guy's a murderer, ARREST HIM!"

They ran and ran and eventually lost the crowd.

"What... are you doing here... Argus?" panted Phoenix while they hid behind a bush.

"Saving you, what else?" said Argus.

"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!" shouted Phoenix.

"Okay okay not so loud, people listening might take that the wrong way."

"I don't get it, how are you here?"

"I'll explain... now."

STORM SENTE POV

"That body doesn't belong to Argus Hakan!" said Storm.

"Whaaaaaaaaat?" said Ana. "You sure about that?"

"Yes! For one thing, Argus wore green, this guy's wearing red! And his face is completely different!"

"But how can that be?" asked Seven.

"Let me start from the beginning," said Storm. "Two nights ago, Argus, Phoenix and I went to sleep in the forest when Argus was stabbed in the stomach."

"OBJECTION!" shouted Seven. "Ana said he was stabbed in the heart!"

"Shut up and keep listening," said Storm. "Anyway, Argus had been rendered unconscious by the stabbing, but he didn't die. When I woke up and screamed at his body, his consciousness probably started to return. It was when he was being carried to the morgue when he woke up.

"WH-WHAT?" shouted the guy carrying him.

"Hey I'm alive!" said Argus.

"NOT FOR LONG!" said the cop pulling out a knife.

"Woah man calm your shit!"

"The cop, for reasons unknown, would've tried to kill Argus again. Argus retaliated by stabbing him in the chest with the knife that'd been stabbed into him" said Storm.

"So that's why Gumshoe saw a different wound," said Ana. "I told you guys I was right!"

"Anyway, the point is!" said Storm. "That Argus might still be alive somewhere!"

"I dunno man this all seems far-fetched," said Seven.

"Blah blah who cares, let's go out and search for him already!"

"Whatever..."

They were about to leave when Storm realized something.

"Wait a minute Ana there's one last thing I'd like to know," said Storm. "Why are you examining that corpse?"

PHOENIX WRIGHT POV

"And that's how it happened," Argus finished up telling Phoenix the exact same thing Storm had just figured out somewhere else.

"Wow," said Phoenix. "Wait a minute THAT MAKES YOU THE CULPRIT!"

"Shut the fuck up," said Argus not wanting to get arrested. "We'll pretend the guy who stabbed me is the culprit."

"Okay sounds good to me," said Phoenix as they walked through the neighborhood. "So where we going?"

"We're going to a friend of mine, he should be willing to help," said Argus.

Argus knocked on a door.

"Do keep an open mind, however..." said Argus as the door opened.

"What can I do for..." said Richard Wellington.
