OK, here's the first part of the newest Turnabout. Enjoy.

Turnabout Infightning Part 1

At a stage, a crowd of people was watching the stage in excitement as a figure appeared. "Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls…making his Global Studios Debut is-"

"I can make my own entrances, thanks." Said the figure as he jumped down, unsheathing a curved blade as he slashed through a few dummies on his way down. Landing was a figure with silverish skin, black hair tied in a topknot, gray and orange armor and a katana in hand.

"The name is Iron Ronin, folks! I'm the newest hero of Neo Olde Tokyo, taking the helm from my father, the Steel Samurai!" He said as the crowd cheered. "Better stick around, folks! The show is going to start soon!"

Little did they know, in an old part of the studio, where Studio 2 was, laid a man in a blood pool as a figure stood over the now dead body, looking down at him with a small frown. "I apologize, sensei…but you left me no choice." He then walked out at this, leaving behind the body.

January 29th, 15:03 Global Studios.

(Phoenix's Point of view)

'Wow, never thought I'd be here again.' I thought as I walked through a crowd of people with Maya, Trucy, Apollo and Athena in tow. We were going to the Global Studios, one sites of a murder in one of my earlier cases.

"Hey Nick, look! It's Mr. Monkey." Maya said with clear excitement in her tone as I watch with amusement as she ran over and stood next to it.

"Daddy! Take a picture of me and Maya next to the statue." Trucy said, throwing a camera towards me as I quickly caught it before it fell onto the ground as she stood by Maya. I just chuckled at this sight as I got the camera up.

"Alright, alright. Calm down you two." I took a few snapshots of the two before getting them over. 'I swear Maya acts like more like her older sister than my assistant…if they were both kids.'

"So, why are we here again?" Apollo asked as he motioned to all of the children around us. "I mean, what's the big deal?"

"Are you living under a rock or something, Polly?!" Maya sounded like he just asked the dumbest question on earth…which with her, I think he might have. "We're here to see the new show! Duh."

"…What show?" Athena asked, looking confused as Trucy got out a flyer from her pocket and handed it over to them as I caught a peek. On it was some sort of teenage Steel Samurai with a sort of glowy sword.

"…who's this?" Apollo asked, as I got a good look and raised an eyebrow at the sight of the hero in question.

"It's the new spin-off of Steel Samurai! It's a direct sequel to the original series. It's The Iron Ronin: The Protector of Neo Olde Tokyo. He's the son of Steel Samurai and Pink Princess." Maya said, as if it was the most obvious thing ever…again, with her, it was likely the case.

"Oh yeah…I remembered seeing that show…wait, you gave Mr. Wright those videos from when he got hit by that car?" Apollo looked at the two of us, a suspicious look on his face.

"Of course I did. If anything was gonna help him heal after that accident, it would be some good ol'fashion Steel Samurai Action!" Maya said with a huge grin on her face.

"…IT was just a broken ankle, Maya. I think it helped Vera more than it did me." I said with a chuckle as she joined in with her own. She then grabbed my arm and dragged me along.

"Come on, Nick! We gotta get a good seat if before it gets crowded." The others followed us as we made it to some decent seats near the middle of the large stage. I looked around and I was actually impressed: it looked like the backdrop from that old stage show Larry was a part of when he played the Steel Samurai.

The lights dimmed as we all looked up as two familiar figures came down first. An ever-present figure in my office: The Steel Samurai with his silverish body and red and white robe, next to a woman dressed in an all pink and red armor with a rapier.

I looked at Maya and Trucy, who were both grinning, while I looked around the stage area to see if I could catch a glimpse of this hero everyone got excited about. But then…

"AAHH!" Everyone, including me, turned when we saw a guy in black suddenly grab Athena and jumped away with her. "Let me go!" I heard her scream as he came up onto some podium.

"So Samurai, you attack me again, and I drop the girl." The man said with a laugh, as I could tell the Samurai and Princess weren't happy about this.

"How about a new plan?" I heard someone say as, out of nowhere, a guy wearing the costume from the poster came out and tackled the man before grabbing Athena. "You shut up and buzz off." HE then picked Athena up and jumped down and returned her to solid ground.

"…Whoa, thanks." The kid just nods before going back to the stage where, to my surprise, a familiarly purple clad villain appeared.

"The Evil Magistrate?" I heard Maya ask, as I just nod in confirmation. On the stage was the Evil Magistrate, the villain from the original show.

"So, you're back, eh?" Ronin asked as he got his sword out. "What? Did the underworld get sick of you or something? Cause I know we are."

"Oh my boy…don't you know?" Magistrate asked as he snapped his fingers, as pods suddenly form over the two heroes from the original show.

"Mom! Dad!" Ronin yelled as he ran over, but suddenly the pods went under the stage. "What did you do with them?"

"Come after me and find out…" Magistrate suddenly turned into smoke as he vanished, with Ronin chasing after him.

"Want to find out what happened?" the voice in the intercom asked as I looked up, now more confused then ever. "Then you better be ready to watch the first episode of 'Iron Ronin: Hero of Neo Olde Tokyo' this Saturday at 8-7 Central."

The lights turned off as people began to leave quickly as Maya looked more surprised than excited. "…OK, this is weird." Maya said with a tone that I could tell was her stupefied…which was a rarity for her.

"Let me guess? A seasoned fan isn't used to this sort of thing?" I asked as we made our way out towards the studios.

"What I mean is that they brought back an old bad guy to fight the new hero. And the pilot episode is about him saving his parents. I'm just surprised they went with that route. Who wrote that episode idea?" Maya sounded like she was trying to figure it out…as I accidently bumped into someone.

"Whoops, sorry-wait…" I looked at the person I bumped into. IT was a young woman, looking around Maya's age, with neck-length brown hair, a pair of glasses over her eyes and a black vest over what looked like a stripped shirt and black jeans. But her face looked really familiar…

"Penny Nichols?!" Maya said with a smile as the two girls hugged. "Ah man, I missed you. How are you?"

"I'm good Maya, Mr. Wright. Wow, it's really good to see you two again." Penny said with a huge grin. Before any one asks, Penny here was one of the witnesses to a client we had here at Global Studios. Though that is a long story…

"So what have you been doing these days, Miss Nichols?" I asked, trying to strike a conversation…as I was sure Apollo, Athena and Trucy were just standing around confused.

"Guess who's the head writer of Iron Ronin." She said with a huge grin as Maya's eyes seemed to turn star-struck.

"NO WAY! You're working on the show!?" she asked as she looked excited. "Did you write the pilot episode? Where did you get the idea?"

Penny just smiled as she adjusted her glasses. "I got it from Episode 214 of the original Steel Samurai show, where-"

"One of the Evil Magistrate's henchmen capture parts of Neo Olde Tokyo and the steel Samurai has to fight him and save the hostages? I get where you're coming from now. Wow…that is really cool. So, who's the Iron Ronin? Wait…is Mr. Powers still the Steel Samurai?"

"Yep. Couldn't have this show without him, after all. Heck, the Iron Ronin himself said he wouldn't join in if he weren't going to be. Heck, we got the original Pink Princess to reprise the role as well." Penny said as she led us to the dressing room when we heard a yell from Studio Two.

"What was that?" Trucy asked me, looking scared as I frowned.

"No idea, come on!" Apollo said as he lead the way as we saw security run up and catch two people fightning: A guy with blood on his hands against…the Iron Ronin? Wait, what?!

"You killed him, why?!" The Ronin asked, throwing the man against the old studio van, and I couldn't tell from the mask…but I could tell he was angry.

"No wait! I didn't do it! I swear!" The man he was fighting sounded panicked, even scared of the person who couldn't be less than a foot shorter than him.

"Liar!" He yelled as he threw him onto the ground, looking like he was gonna pummel him into next week until the security held him back as the other officers handcuffed him.

"Really! I didn't kill Master Lee, I didn't!" He said as he was lead away.

"Boss…I think that guy is telling the truth…" Athena told me as I nod, a frown forming. "His heart is crying out that he is innocent."

"Come on, we gotta get to the bottom of this." I followed after the security group as the man looked at me.

"Wait, you're that Phoniex Wright guy…ah thank god…listen, you gotta believe me, I didn't do this!" He told me as I nod.

"I believe you. Just go with these people to the detention center. I'm sure the police will arrive soon." I reassured him as he nods and went with them as I saw the police arrive.

"Heh, Mr. Wright…haven't seen you in a LONG time…" I turned to see the Ronin glaring at me, as he just sighed a bit. "Whatever. I know what I saw, and you ain't gonna let him go free." He unsheathed his sword as he pointed it right at me. "I'll make sure of that…in court. Hope you got you're A-Game, Mr. Lawyer. You're gonna need it." He walked off at this.

"…OK, that was weird…who was that?" Apollo asked me while I just sighed a bit.

"I got no idea…come on. Lets see what's going on before the detective arrives…or at least get an idea." I lead the group towards the building as I look through the hole of what used to be Studio Two…but only saw it was pitch-black and there was a body of a middle-aged man wearing a white kimono with his neck sliced open.

"…Oh god…" Maya gasped, as Trucy looked unnerved, my eyes narrowing.

"Well…this case just got…interesting from the start…come on, lets head back to the office. We need to prepare ourselves before we come back." I lead my team back to my car, hopeful to get answers…and also find out what's going on. "And we'll also need to make a stop to the Detention center after they're done with the man they apprehended."

A second man was murdered here at Global Studios…not sure why or how, but I know this: The man they took away didn't do the murder. I can feel it…I just need to make sure I can prove it. IT won't be easy, but when has this job EVER been easy?

End of Part 1

Yeah…sorry if I didn't get to the full investigations part of this, but this is my plans for this story. Part one of each of the Turnabouts is meant to put a basis on the case. Meaning the murder and things that happen before we start the investigations. Don't worry, there is more on the way when I can get my thoughts together since I'm having to do finals. So please Read, Review and Suggest away.
