Sorry for not updating sooner, I have a lot of studying at school to do. Not to mention, I hit a slight stumbling block with the story. But I have an idea. This chapter will be primarily exposition for any Ace Attorney fans. Phoenix/Rite learning about the world of rating games and we learn the change I had with the Ace Attorney cast.

Edit: Added a new character to represent Spirit of Justice


Turnabout Vision


"It is time to start your peerage."

Wow dad…can you make that sound even more ominous?

For the whole peerage game, I became a bit of a late bloomer compared to the others. That was due to my training. It took a while, but I finally got enough control of my powers to be worthy to receive the chess set.

Me and dad were in our family study room. This in rich people terms means a giant library. The symbol of the Phenex family was inscribed on the ceilings above.

The central table was where me and my siblings did the majority of our studying. The devil world was definitely a fascinating one indeed. The death of the original devils, the war between the factions, the creation of the evil piece…

The bible would be a lot more interesting if things like this were written.

Ah, yes. Evil pieces and the rating games. Guess I have to explain that.

See, after this whole war, the devil population started to hit rock bottom. It was to the point where the original 72 families have dwindled down to just 30. My family, the Phenex, being one of the survivors.

The head scientist of the devil world, Ajuka Beelzebub, created a way to reincarnate other beings into devil. Don't ask me how, it is probably just a bunch of devil magic that I have no hope to ever understand.

Devils are a lot like Edgeworth. A fascination for both fine class and a love for chess…was Edgeworth a devil in the past life? It would certainly explain a lot...no that would be too mean. Von Karma on the other hand...

Chess was the signature game when it comes to devil. It was so beloved, that Beelzebub actually based an entire system around it.

So he created the evil pieces. The high class devils each get their own personal set given to them.

The owner of the Evil Piece set will be known as the king of their peerage, the people they collect in the process.

I wasn't exactly happy to learn that the whole peerage treatment was essentially slavery in a sense.


2 Years Ago

My mouth was opened as I was asking my brother about how the system works.

"WHAT?!"

"Why are you so shocked?" Ruval questioned, rubbing his ears. "Any devil who abandons their master is considered a Stray Devil."

I was starting to sweat. "I get that! But to kill them? Isn't that a bit on the extreme side?"

"It's the punishment they have to follow for breaking the rules."

"But that's basically slavery!" I protested. "You can't just own someone! It's not moral!"

Ruval rubbed the back of his head. "Well we are devils. In any case, none of my peerage would betray me. Sure they may be some genuinely awful masters out there. But that's why dad says it's important to be kind to your peerage."


Yeah…Anyway, the evil pieces are divided into six categories.

The King: That's what the leader of the chess set is.

The Rook: Those with high defense and attack. They have pretty bad speed though.

The Knight: Good attack and high speed. They aren't very durable though.

The Bishop: The magic expert. As proven multiple times, mages are not built for such a thing.

The Queen: D: All of the above.

The Pawn: On paper it is the weakest piece. But it also has the most potential. It can evolve into any type of piece.

"…And that's the capability of the chess pieces." I recited, listing off the powers to my father.

Dad nodded. "And what are the rating games?"

Rating games. After the war, devils needed a way to settle disputes without losing other devils. Thus the rating games were created. It was like chess, people say, but only on paper.

It was more like a showdown between the powers of two sides. Some of the rules of chess apply, such as the promotion, and the game ending when a king dies. But other then that, it's a slug show.

My family has a lot of powers we could use. So much, that the people in charge even limited some of our usage. The phoenix tears for example, are only allowed three bottles per battle.

The games measure the strength of a devil and of his peerage. My parents were both retired mostly from the whole rating games.

Riser is an upcoming star. While Ruval and his team are in actuality in the top ten for peerage. Yeah, my older brothers are really freaking powerful. Enough to make a guy fell inadequate…though I always felt inadequate to a lot of people, so it is nothing new.

Raval is still too young, and I'm just starting out. While my healing ability is superior to my brothers'. My offensive on the other hand, still needs a lot of work.

"…And that is the rating games!" I finished to my father, who nodded in approval.

"Good." He opened the chess board. The glittering red pieces were located inside. Maou, what is it with devils and the color red? It reminds me too much of Dahlia…who has proven to be more devilish then the actual devils…go figure.

He gave me a piece. This one had a glittering crown on it. I picked it up and gulped. "So the king's piece?"

"That is correct. As a king, you must lead your peerage to victory. The queen, rooks, knights, bishops, and pawns are the allies you need." Dad listed off. "Rite…it is impertinent that you treat your peerage as best as you can."

I nodded. "I can try. I don't want them turning into stray devils because of my mistakes."

"I concur. A kind master won't have any of his servants betray him."

I tapped the table. "…I still say it is more slavery."

Lord Phenex sighed. "I understand how bad it sounds. But know that we do this in order to expand the devil line. Just treat your peerage fairly, and nothing else will go wrong."

Do I really have the right to turn someone into a devil against their will? I know that these things can revive the dead, but to be enslaved in the process?

It was then that I decided that I will always give a choice. I don't care how; there will always be a choice!

Dad looked at the watch and his eyebrows raised. "Look at the time. I'm late for my meeting! You know how your mother gets!"

I sweated. "Don't remind me dad. Those are the things nightmares are made out of."

Lord Phenex shuddered in response. "I can definitely relate my boy. If you want to go somewhere to start your 'Collection', ask Riser."

"Do I have to?"

"Ruval has to take the meeting with me. Besides taking care of his siblings is one of the things that Riser actually tries at". Can't argue with that.

"And with that, I am off!" and just like that, he disappeared in a flash of light.

When I learned that since Ruval will be heading the family, I would have to choose an occupation. I always wanted to see if I can be a lawyer again, so I forced myself to do something that I never did in my past life.

I cracked open a law book.

Let's just say that devil law is pretty confusing. The general idea I was familiar with, but they're a lot of different ideas. The Jury system that failed to get off in my old life, cross examining multiple witnesses. Varying days on how long a trial could go on. I was too confused to properly study it all.

When I asked mom about it, she tapped her chin and said, "Well…if you take a special course, you can become a full fledged lawyer at the tender age of eighteen!"

…what is this? Europe?

I actually kinda want to take that special course, but maybe making my peerage first would be a priority. Speaking of, dad left behind the chess case with our family's insignia located on it. I did the obvious thing and picked it up.

I was not expecting a slight shock. And I was definitely not expecting the evil pieces to gain a green aura around them. Then the chains appeared.

'Psyche-locks? How the hell can inanimate objects have psyche-locks!?'

I couldn't scream, my mouth refused to move. I could see a blue aura appear around me, and I could see the locks absorbing the aura. It bore an uncanny resemblance to the color of the Magatama. The locks cracked open, and I was hit with a rapid-fire vision.

"The Prosecution; Miles Edgeworth is ready your honor"

I see a gray hair boy, reading at some sort of library. He was doodling some sort of runes and circles into a book. A man holding a broken sword and a chipped shield was lecturing him.

"I'm…Maya Fey"

I see a young monk in purple robes. His hair was tied similarly to the ancient samurai's of the past. He was currently meditating under the waterfall, two women watching him from the distance.

"I guess that makes you my boss! I'm Athena Cykes"

I see a laboratory. A young ginger-haired boy was all alone in a white room. Pink headphones were around his ears and he was drawing. A sad look on his face.

"THAT'S DETECTIVE GUMSHOE PAL!"

I see a large teenager, working very hard labor. It was the slums of some sort of city, and the boy was carrying some sort of crate. His hair had three spikes, and his face was covered in a band aid. He grunted, and kept on walking, limping all the way.

"I am Godot. I never won, and I never lost".

I see a hospital room. A man with dark skin contrasting to his white hair lay on the bed. The machine next to him blinking. A noticeable scar over his eyes.

"Hmph…let's see what you can do against Simon Blackquill, old man".

I see a cave. Inside the cave was a man in seiza position. His hair was black with various white streaks. His hands were covered with chains, and his eyes were closed. I saw some sort of hawk flying around him.

"I'M APOLLO JUSTICE AND I'M FINE!"

I see a young boy with horn-like hair staring at the night sky. He was constantly shouting something. I can't hear him, but his lips can be read as 'I'm Fine!' He was standing in front of a church.

"Foolish fool, don't you know the name Franziska Von Karma?"

I see something similar to the gray hair boy from before. A kid with light blue hair was extensively reading a book. A whip lay by his side. He was also being lectured by an elderly man, his cane tapping the floor.

"Are you Mia Fey? I'm Ema Skye!"

I see a young boy was experimenting with a chemistry set. A chessboard next to him has an array of calculations on it. He wore a lab coat and was currently mixing chemicals.

"Achtugn Herr Wright!"

I see a man with blonde hair tied in a drill was lazily playing his guitar. Another older man with black streaked blonde hair was giving him an amused smirk. There were an arrays of tools scattered around the floor. And a few dangerous looking weapons.

"In Justice We Trust! Detective Bobby Fulbright!"

I see a church. A boy with a horned hairdo was reading a comic book. He had a huge grin on his face as he clenched his fist in righteous fury ignoring the bewildered stares of all the onlookers.

Oh holy mother...let your humble servant: Nahyuta Sadhmahdi bring justice onto this foul lawyer.

I saw a effeminate boy in some sort of shrine. His violet hair was clear as he chanted various sutras.

"Hey Nick! Get me out of here!"

I see a regular room. A brunette was reading a manga. He was humming some sort of tune, and was giving off a perverse giggle.

I think I was screaming the entire time it was happening. I started to see more and more visions as well. Multiple spirits floating about, fields of circles, some sort of dark being. a large bird made of metal, and perhaps the most intimidating of all: A giant red dragon giving off a giant roar.

I see a young girl. She resembled a ten year old and wore something that can best be described as Lolita. She gives me a blank look and said. "So you're the reincarnated one? I hope you can provide some good entertainment."

And it all ended when I heard the sounds of the chains breaking. I was back in my family's library as I took a look around.

What was that!? Who were those people? What were those events?! And why did I have the feeing that little girl is not someone who I would want to deal with?

I shook my head to clear it and turned to my Evil Pieces. They were back to their crimson red color, but they now had a green aura around them.

It was later that I realized that the pieces were telling me what will happen.

The people of my old life will come back!


And here is the thing that might tick a few Ace Attorney fans off! That's right! Athena, Ema, Maya, Franziska…all gender-bended. Why? Because I have a few reasons. One is to have some differences between lives; another is to add to DXD abysmal male cast (at least in the main characters), a third is to make Phoenix uncomfortable. Their personality will remain relatively the same with a few minor tweaks. I could change it to something else, but I want to see how people would react first. In any case, here it is. Sorry it is so short, but I have a lot going on in my life, not to mention other fanfics as well. Which I will shamelessly plug in ads for!

Turnabout Insertion: What if someone from our world was inserted into Phoenix Wright's shoe? Let's see if he can keep the timeline running smoothly and prevent any major divergence.

Hentaiverse: There is an area of the multiverse that is often disconnected with the others and divided in two. One half has the rape and enslavement of various women be a common concept. The other half is blissfully unaware, and happily continues their clandestine acts of coitus. Naruto is split into light and dark. One who saves the victims. One who makes the other half his love slaves.

As I said before, I have something planned on how to explain Rite finding his peerage. Next chapter, we will switch back to the more modern times: The beginning of canon! And spoilers: Issei won't be killed by Raynare! (Seriously, why is that still a thing?)

We will switch from Rite's POV to Issei's POV! (Meaning I'm going to copy-and-paste the light novel but what can a guy do?)

Please Read and Review! For those thirsty of things to come, here's a slight preview…


"Will you die for me?" Yuma asked, her eyes now slanted and her voice more mature.

Issei, who was expecting a kiss, was now baffled to say the least. "Er…what?" And Yuma underwent a stunning transformation.

Her school uniform ripped apart, her body matured to that of a grown-up woman and she wore a very revealing black outfit. Issei's reaction?

'Oh shit! I saw it! I saw her glorious oppai for a second there' His mind was a bit preoccupied…

The scantily-clad woman smirked and formed a spear of light in her right palm. "Don't blame me for this! Blame god for giving you that gift!"

"AND BLAME ME FOR THIS!"

"Huh?" Was Yuma's only response before being punched straight in the face by, and Issei's blinked multiple time to check, a very long, stretchy, arm.

Issei turned and gaped. "Gumshoe?!"

The scruffy face of Richard 'Dick' Gumshoe was now in its usual roughness. But unlike before, this time it was filled with genuine anger. "Like hell am I going to let your harm my pal, pal!"


Rias's jaws have dropped at the scene. Sona on the other hand, merely rolled her eyes in amusement. Rite on the other hand was trying not to laugh.

Rias turned to him. "You knew this would happen?"

Rite merely shrugged. "Not really. But boy am I glad it did! Now what was that about letting me talk to him if he survives the fallen angel?"

Rias groaned and placed her head in her palms. How could have it gone wrong?

Clearly, she had not expected how badly the reincarnation of Detective Dick Gumshoe and Larry Butz can screw things up.


Enjoy!
