CHAPTER 11: ARGUS HAKAN SEARCHES THE TOWER
"So what're ya doin' here?" said Seven.
"Well it turns out I didn't actually die so-"
"Shut up I know that part, why are you HERE?"
"To gather evidence and discover the truth behind John Phoenix."
"Oh so you think there's something odd about him too, 'k," said Seven.
"Anyway I'm trying to get into this room help me break the door down will you?" said Argus.
"No," said Seven.
Seven went to the main desk and fished out a box that belonged to one of the old staff members and he put in a 7 digit code and it opened.
"Woah how'd you know that?" said Argus.
"Because I used to work here before that rich cunt bought the place for himself," Seven cried a tear for his lost past. "Anyway I knew I might want to sneak in here some time so I stored my master key in this safe just in case that day came, now we can go anywhere."
Seven unlocked the door Argus tried to open and they went in, it was Room 101 and it appeared to be a study.
"Hey there are pages everywhere" said Argus.
Seven picked one of the pages up. "...I can't read."
Argus grabbed the paper from him but he couldn't read it either, it was very hastily written but it did appear to be long.
"Uh, hmm... something something Phoenix, something something Dylan... Bloomberg... Eliminate the Race Attorney group... forget it, it's meaningless."
Seven and Argus ran up the stairs and started looking through the flats. John Phoenix had apparently repurposed each flat to a room of it's own purpose, they found many types. A kitchen in room 201, a living room in room 202, a bathroom in room 205, a wishing room in room 215, a greenhouse in room 321, a dancehall in room 444, an observatory, a prosecutor's office, a mini police station, a cinema, a restaurant with robot servants (they even stopped by to eat and the robots questioned nothing!) everything one could imagine was here in John Phoenix's home!
Eventually they got to the top floor but there was a door that Seven couldn't unlock with his key.
"Maybe we need to solve a puzzle?" thought Argus. There was an unfinished paths puzzle written into the wall and Seven looked at it for a minute.
"BORING," said Seven and he picked up a crowbar (this was a construction room) and pried the door open.
"Okay that works too."
Argus and Seven walked into the room and their jaws dropped to the floor when they saw what was in there.
There had been no room quite like this one in the rooms previous, in fact that closest any room before had come to the one before them was the lobby made of solid gold. But this room was not made of gold, but a formidable steel. It was understandable it would be this secure for the room housed hundreds of stacks of solid gold, and mountains of banknotes in between. Argus and Seven had discovered riches previously thought beyond the economy.
"John Phoenix is LOADED," said Seven. He pulled his hat off and started stuffing it with banknotes and even pocketed a few gold ingots while he was at it.
"John Phoenix is no ordinary person. These are riches that only the likes of... the president could achieve," Argus smartly observed. "Just who on earth is he?"
Argus left Seven to his pilfering and went to the next door and peeked inside. There he saw somebody! And they were holding something. Argus peered at them as they went to the safe and put in the combination and threw the thing inside and shut it. The person then jumped out the window.
Argus immediately ran in. This room appeared to be John Phoenix's bedroom. As he walked to the safe, he tripped over something and picked it up.
"Diary of... I can't read that name but it's definitely John Phoenix's handwriting," said Argus. "Reading diaries is bad though."
Argus put the diary in his pocket and went to the safe and put in the combination and he opened the safe and saw...
MILES EDGEWORTH! AND HE WAS DEAD!
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?" shouted Argus. "Edgeworth are you okay?"
No response.
"He's DEAD! OH NOOOOO!" cried Argus. He, who had once experienced death himself just a few days ago, understood Edgeworth's pain of being dead more than anyone else.
"Woah man who did that?" said Seven who walked in then.
"I don't know but I know where to find them," said Argus.
Seven and Argus walked all the way back down to the lobby but this time someone was waiting for them there.
"Yes I thought it'd be you who was snooping around up there," said the figure from before.
"Hey it's you, Maya Fey!" said Argus.
"You are trespassing and for that you shall be killed!" said Maya and she put spiritual energy into the golden suits of armor and they ran at the pair!
"Seven dodge it!" yelled Argus but Seven stood still as the armor swung its sword at him and it hit his head then it bounced back and impaled the knight.
"What?" shouted Maya, then Argus grabbed the sword from the armor and swung it around like back at the church, the knights kept dying so Maya grabbed the last suit and got into it herself!
"Now you'll fight something actually intelligent!" she yelled and swung her sword at Argus who dodged it but she didn't let him attack and then he was in a corner and she swung but before it hit Seven threw his big body at her and she fell out of the armor!
"Damn you, Argus Hakan!" said Maya. "What do you think you'll get out of this?"
"The truth," said Argus. "But I already have that. I know exactly what John Phoenix is, who Dakoolguy is, and the answers behind all the mysterious events so far."
"Have fun with that, I'm going home," Maya pouted but then someone came in and arrested her.
"Not so fast Maya, you'll have to come and watch the trial," said Winston Payne.
Payne turned to Argus. "What happened to our friend Wellington?"
"Wha-? WHA-? What's going on here?" yelled Seven.
"It's alright, my friends," said Argus. "All will be explained... at the trial of Phoenix Wright."
