Description: Iris has been released from jail, only to face another turnabout and some more chaos. A Phoenix x Iris story, more chapters to come, takes place two years after Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations.
Chapter 8: The Real Witness
No investigation was needed for Phoenix; he knew this Mori girl must be the real killer. He arrived at the defendant lobby about 30 minutes before he even needed too.
Then the trial started
"I call the witness, Mori Fern to the stand!" Announced Franziska; "this poor girl had to witness a terrible crime at only the young age of 16, so don't do anything foolish!"
A girl who appeared to be a teenager took the stand, she had way too much makeup on and was chewing gum. Her wavy black hair was tossed behind her shoulders, and she looked off to the side much like Dahlia did when she flipped her hair. Her shirt was baggy and punk style, and her skinny jeans were ripped
"Mori Fern…" Mori popped her gum, "student, let's get this over with."
"What you saw, you foolish fool!" Franziska commanded, whipping Mori.
Testimony:
"I was walking down the mountain, and heard Victor Dash's voice."
"Then I saw the sinful no-good-spirit medium shoot him once."
"Then April May came in and called the police."
"This is vague, too vague…" Thought Phoenix
Cross-examination:
"I was walking down the mountain, and heard Victor Dash's voice."
Hold it!
"How could you tell it was Victor Dash's voice?" Asked Phoenix
Mori popped her gum; "dude, he introduced himself to that nun chick."
Hold it!
"Then April May came in and called the police."
Hold it!
"Y-You mean you didn't care that you just witnessed a murder?" Asked a shocked Phoenix
"I wasn't going to waste my time doing that, okay? I was on my way to the mall!"
"Then I saw the sinful no-good-spirit medium shoot him once."
Objection!
"Ms. Fern, you claimed to have heard one shot, yes?" Asked Phoenix "because it clearly states here in the autopsy report, the victim was shot twice!"
"Objection!" Yelled Franziska, "she could've just been coming down the mountain when the pistol was shot again!"
"Objection!" Phoenix yelled back "but she said she heard Victor's voice, before the murder!"
"Gaaaahhhhhhhh!" Yelled Mori; swallowing her gum before calming down. "I guess you've figured me out, I'm not who you think I am…Good Sir. I see Sister Iris has been accused of murder again, long time no see, Mystic Maya."
"A-Auntie Morgan?" Asked Maya in disbelief.
The Judge slammed his gavel down, "we will take a 15 minute recess to sort things out! Court is adjourned!"
How was that for an unexpected twist? I know there are still unanswered questions, but they will all be revealed soon!
