Phoenix Wright – Turnabout Future

Part 6 – 2 Years Post T&T

Phoenix sat in the small interview room as Diego was escorted in, he needed to know something and suspected that Diego held the answers. Diego sat across from him and Phoenix felt his eyes stare at him from under his mask.

"What brings you here Wright?" asked Diego calmly.

"I need to know what happened that night," replied Phoenix, "When you spoke to Mia."

Diego smiled, he wouldn't need to ask what night he spoke of, there was only one night he could be referring to like that.

"Why do you think I spoke to Mia that night?" he asked coolly, "I never mentioned anything like that at the trial."

"It was something Mia said," replied Phoenix, "A while before I met you, specifically, that she was unaware of what happened in the world of the living, and yet she was able to tell Maya to channel Dahlia's spirit."

"Very smart," replied Diego, "I hope you have some time to have it explained to you."

"Plenty," replied Phoenix.

The storm rains fell about Diego Armando as he swept the snow from around the torch. He leaned on the broom to inspect his handiwork and smiled, no one would know that this was where the murder happened, there was a cough from behind him and he span round to see a tall figure standing in the entrance.

"Diego," said the figure leaning her head to the side and smiling.

"Mia," replied a shocked Diego.

"Unfortunate we should meet in this weather," replied Mia.

"Do you know what happened?" asked Diego.

"No small talk coffee addict," smiled Mia, "I'd have thought that you'd want to catch up on what I've been doing all these years."

"You died," replied Diego, "You left me to defend Maya from Dahlia Hawthorn alone."

"Did you ask Phoenix to help?" asked Mia, "This would all have been avoided if you had."

"Aren't you going to ask how I knew about the plan?" asked Diego.

"I'd much rather ask about you becoming a prosecutor," replied Mia, "And the fact that you are willing to put innocent people away to defeat Phoenix in the courtroom."

"That's irrelevant," replied Diego.

"No it's not," replied Mia, "I asked Maya to stay with him as Phoenix is a good man, he's probably likely to do something stupid if he thinks she's in danger here."

From the bridge came a loud snap and a scream, the pair ran to the bridge to see it collapsing and Phoenix Wright falling before he hit the water. Mia stood and glared at Diego.

"Now you're alone defending her," she said and walked away.
