Phoenix wondered round the icy map of Arendelle whilst searching for clues. There could be something that could prove Felix innocent. His wife was released without charge, which was a good sign. Phoenix had heard that they tried to arrest her as an accomplice to murder, but Sergeant Calhoun was in her own game, Hero's Duty on the night of the murder.
"Edgeworth!" Phoenix cried out the second that he saw a man's cravat wave with the wind. "I should have known it would be you taking on the case."
"The same goes to you too... Wright."
They had been best friends since they were school, but they could become tense rivals when their eyes met in court. They had been through many trials together and everything their game thrown at them had made them closer.
"I have spoken to Queen Elsa," Edgeworth explained. "The Duke is clearly lying about his claims."
"Really?" Phoenix opened his eyes and gasped. "How is that possible."
"Queen Elsa banned him from the game," Edgeworth said. "If he ever comes to Arendelle again, his code would be destroyed. Naturally, there would have been no way that man is telling the truth."
Phoenix's heart sank. He thought that he was going to have an easy case. He knew that if there was something that sounded too good to be true that it was most likely the case. On the other hand, Phoenix was known for turning things around when things got tough. "Well that's my beautiful contradiction gone with the wind."
"I'm sure you'll think of something outrageous," Edgeworth said in comfort.
"HEY! LOOK!" Phoenix said as he peered over and saw a blonde man with a reindeer steering blocks of ice from down the mountain. "There's someone there. Perhaps he knows something." Phoenix ran up to the man with Edgeworth gracefully following him with a little less haste.
"Excuse me." The man stopped. "My name's Phoenix Wright. I'm a lawyer investigating a case."
"The name's Kristoff," the man said. "This is my friend Sven." The reindeer grinned as he gazed at Edgeworth's cravat. Sven licked his lips.
"Was there anyone else around during the time of the murder?" Edgeworth asked Kristoff.
"You get these idiots they come and go," Kristoff said. "There was one time where I woke up at two in the morning by the sound of screaming."
"Screaming?" Phoenix asked. "Could you be more specific."
"Just a bunch of kids," Kristoff replied as he looked down on the snowman behind him. Phoenix and Edgeworth didn't notice it until Kristoff mentioned him. "Trying to hit old Olaf here."
"That's right!" Olaf jiggled around as he tried to fix his carrot serving as his nose.
"The snowman talks?" Phoenix shouted. Edgeworth was speechless.
Kristoff nodded. "Yep that's Olaf. Loves the summer."
"But he'll melt in summer."
"Don't you know?"
"Know what?"
"That Elsa is the snow queen."
"That's right!" Olaf jumped as he spoke and twirled around the snow. "In sunlight I get a cloud of snow just for me and I will never melt. I can't wait for summer."
"This game makes no sense," Phoenix whispered to Edgeworth.
Edgeworth answered back. "Sometimes you make no sense either."
Phoenix shrugged his comment off. "So Olaf, what do you know about the victim?"
"He had plenty of enemies," Olaf said, folding his arms. "I'll never forgive him for what he did to my friends."
"I take it you're very close to the queen and Princess Anna?"
"Elsa created me."
"Where were you when the murder took place?"
"I was with all my friends having some fun on the camp-site."
"It's time to return to our game," Edgeworth told Phoenix. "You need to speak to your client."
"Athena and Apollo are with him at the moment," Phoenix said. He then nodded in agreement. "I better get down there and see what they've got." He turned to Kristoff, Olaf and Sven. "Thank you for time. It was nice meeting you."
"Same goes to you."
Sven leaned over to Edgeworth's chest and gobbled his cravat.
The first day of the trial was tomorrow. Phoenix had a feeling that it was going to be a long trial. The prosecution and the defence have no idea what was going on and the police department were anything but helpful. Bobby Fulbright was dead in the Ace Attorney Games, but the Game Central Police Department decided to bring him back from the dead now that The Phantom had finally been destroyed. The Phantom's devastation to many games had finally ended.
The dark age of law had come to an end. People were beginning to trust the legal system once again. But it was far from over, Phoenix had a guy feeling that if Felix didn't get the 'not guilty' verdict, then all hope would be lost once again.
Apollo and Athena were still busy in the detention centre when Phoenix arrived. Edgeworth returned to his office to compile what evidence and testimonies they got for tomorrow's trial.
"Here he is," Apollo said. "I told you he would be here."
"Thank you guys," Felix said. Phoenix didn't expect Felix to be that tiny. He looked no taller than a little kid. His shivering hands and vacant expression made it no secret that he was nervous. It was understandable, being accused of murder was a soul-breaking experience. Phoenix himself had been through it several times before, so he knew how they felt.
"Hello Felix," Phoenix said. "My name is Phoenix Wright. I'm your lawyer."
"F-Fix-It Felix Jr."
"So Hans befriended you and stole your hammer on the day he was murdered?" Phoenix asked.
"That's correct."
"What did you do afterwards?"
"Felix already told us," Athena responded. "He went straight to The Game Central Police Department to report the robbery."
"Who did you speak to?"
"I was referred to a guy named Lance," Felix explained. "He said he was head of the game central police department."
"Who is the head of the game central police department?" Phoenix asked curiously.
"Lance," Apollo replied. "He's rarely in his office. He used to be the leader of Kanto's Elite Four and now he's been the Pokemon Champion of Johto for a long time."
"Oh him!" It all came to Phoenix now. He had no idea that Lance was head of the police quarters though. Phoenix didn't know much about Lance, but he knew that he was one of the most powerful characters in game central.
"And was Lance present when you were arrested?" Phoenix asked.
"He's in a tournament at the moment," Athena said. "We might not be able to talk to him until the tournament ends."
Damn, Phoenix thought. He had never felt more under prepared. Felix was obviously innocent, but he had no proof to clear his name. The trial would begin in 12 hours time and visiting hours will officially be over. He jut hoped that Felix wouldn't give up. He was determined to get to the bottom of the case even if it meant freezing his ass off.
"Lance was really nice," Felix added. "He got his dragonite to guide me home. I'm sure he would help me out"
"Visiting hours over!"
"Don't worry Felix," Athena said as she banged against the glass. "We're gonna clear your name."
"Damn straight!" Apollo cried out.
The three lawyers left the detention centre with feeling that justice was theirs.
