Turnabout Infighting Part 2

January 30th, 12:45. Wright Anything Agency.

(Phoenix's Point of View)

"OK team, we need to set this up." I told my team as we sat in the main room of our office, as I looked at each of them. "Athena, Apollo, I want you two to try to search for anything after the detective comes. I'll go to the Detention center with Maya and Trucy to find out more about our client."

Apollo crossed his arms, and I could tell by his grim expression he was deep in thought, and something told me that Maya could tell as well. "Polly, you alright?" Maya asked, though I tried to keep myself from snickering from her using Trucy's nickname for her half-brother.

"I'm just confused about the guy in the costume. Iron Ronin, wasn't it?" Apollo asked as we all nod. "It seems he knew you, Mr. Wright. How come?"

"Maybe Mr. Powers told him about me? He is in the show as well, so I am sure he knows about the case we had with him a few years ago." I said with a shrug while Athena looked at me with confusion.

"Wait, you defended a celebrity?" I sighed at that question, since it was kind of insulting that she wouldn't think that I could get a celebrity.

'Do I seem that boring? Heck, I've defended TWO actors…the other one, I'm not exactly happy about.' I thought, a scowl forming at the memory of Matt Engarde and what he did to Maya all those years ago. 'I hope that Iron Ronin isn't as bad as he was…'

"Listen, we better head out. Come on, Trucy." Maya said as she grabbed her purse from the table as Trucy nods as I got my briefcase and my note pad so I can jot down notes later.

"OK, you two better head out as well. I want you to send me pictures from the crime scene. You guys got cameras on your phones?" I asked, as Apollo and Athena both got out their Smart phones, which the courts gave all Lawyers to help with the court record so we can keep things more organized.

"Yep." Apollo told me as Athena gave me a nod, with me returning the nod.

"Alright Team Wright, let's do this!" Maya said with clear excitement in her tone, as Trucy grinned as well.

"Yeah! Go Team Wright!" I just chuckled at their behavior as we went to my car as Apollo went over to his own red motorcycle.

"I take it that's Klavier's old motorcycle?" I asked him as Apollo just scowled.

"Don't remind me…he gave it to me for my birthday. But it works, I guess…I had to repaint it though. I don't want that goofball's old band logo on it." Apollo said, as if that was the worst thing on earth.

'Seriously, is this what he's worrying about? I'm just surprised he can drive that thing…how can a motorized bike even COUNT as a vehicle?' I thought as I went into the driver's seat.

"Make sure to put your seatbelts on, girls." I told Maya and Trucy as I did just that, Maya just giving me an eye roll from the passenger seat.

"Yes, Dad." Maya said with a joking tone as Trucy gasped.

"Why didn't you tell me you were Maya's dad to, Daddy?" Trucy asked, as I looked at her with shock.

'…I really hope she was just joking around…' I thought as I saw the two girls burst out laughing…at what I would only guess was my expression. 'And I walked right into that one…'

"You walked into that one, Nick." Maya laughed as I just rolled my eyes as I started the car and headed towards the Detention Center, Apollo going the opposite direction with Athena holding onto him for dear life.

"You two kids play nice now!" Trucy yelled out from her seat, as I just chuckled as I could only imagine the look on their faces at that. I continued down the road, not sure of what to expect.

January 30th, 13:23. Global Studios

(Athena's point of view)

'Ugh…am I ever so glad to be on sweet, sweet ground…' I was groaning as I was throwing up into a nearby trashcan. "Ugh…Apollo, you need to invest in a side car for that stupid motorcycle. At least then I can make sure I don't end up car sick."

"How do you get carsick on a motorcycle?" Apollo asked me, and I just gave him a glare.

"Don't get technical, please." I groaned as I took a tissue from my bag and wiped my lips, before heading towards the scene of the crime, but we were stopped by a cop. Ugh, I always hate it when they do that.

"Sorry kids, but this part of the studios are closed off until investigations are over." Said the man in front of the tape, as I just groan in annoyance.

'WHY do these idiots keep doing this to me?' I asked myself, but widget had to say 'You idiot' against my will.

"Hey!" said the cop, as I grew nervous until a woman wearing a lab coat saw us.

"Easy there, officer. They're OK to come in.," she said, walking over. I saw Apollo looking shocked as I got a good look at the girl. She had on a white lab coat over a green button up vest over a pink shirt, a pair of brown pants with a black belt, a pair of heels, pink-tinted sunglasses with white rims and a pink bag. She kind of reminds me of a scientist more than a detective. "Hello there, sorry about him, ma'am. I'm Detective Ema Skye for LA's CSI."

"Hey Detective Skye. Think you can let us in?" Apollo asked casually, which is surprising given his history with 'Bobby Fulbright'.

"No problem. Come on." Said Detective Skye as she led us inside. "Though I'll have to warn you, I'm not in charge of this crime scene. My sister is."

"Wait, you have a sister?" Apollo looked surprised to learn this, as she smiled.

"Yep, Lana Skye. She was head prosecutor back in the old days. She wanted my help on this case, since I got skills in forensics. A few years ago, after some…events…she was arrested, but was allowed to be a detective again thanks to Mr. Edgeworth. As long as she's working with me that is." Detective Skye explained to us, as I just nod.

'So she's a babysitter for her big sister? Wonder why she was arrested…' I thought as we headed in side, the police being very thorough with the investigating of evidence, making sure to set things up.

"Alright, make sure no stone goes unturned. If it looks suspicious, let me know." A woman's voice said as a young woman, a little older than Mr. Wright, was surveying everything. She had long brown hair, green eyes, a military-styled jacket with a few medals on it, a pair of gloves, a red scarf around her neck and a brown skirt and black shoes.

"Detective Lana Skye, I presume?" I asked as I walked over to her, with her turning to us.

"Yes? And you two are?" She asked, looking at us with an eerily calm tone, making me really nervous…though something was with her tone that caught my attention.

"Uh…Apollo Justice and Athena Cykes, we're…friends of Phoenix Wright. His students, actually." Apollo said, and I can tell from his tone that he was nervous before I saw her stoic face break into a playful smirk.

"Calm down you two, if you're with Mr. Wright, you're OK. And you're lucky that, unlike the Prosecutors I used to be in charge of, your opponent is more generous than most. If it's not evidence he wishes to see personally, he says he wants the Defense to see it." Lana explained, as I raised an eyebrow.

"That's oddly…generous." Apollo said, not sounding convinced as I just sighed a bit.

"Listen, Detectives, can you show us what you were told?" I asked as Lana nods and led us into the building where the murder took place.

"Ironically enough, this is the third death in this building. A few years ago, there was a manslaughter in Global Studios for a man named Manuel, which later lead to the death of popular actor Jack Hammer, also a manslaughter disguised as a murder." Lana explained as I looked at her with surprise.

"Jack Hammer…that was the third case Mr. Wright had as a lawyer and his first official case with Miss Fey." I realized as Lana just nods. "So…what makes this different?"

"This one is full-on murder. The murder weapon is a blade of some kind, so we sent weapons back to the lab for trace. Ema already checked them all for blood…none. So we're either dealing with a man with good cleaning skills, or…"

"Or the killer hid the murder weapon." Ema finished as she sighed. "And other than that, there was obviously a struggle here, so our victim went down fighting for his life."

"We got a name?" I asked, as she nods and got out a file.

"Yeah, his name is Judan Lee, a former actor himself. He used to be a stunt man as well before an injury on set caused him to go on a limp." Ema said as we walked into the building, and I was shocked at the sight of the room.

The entire room was a single roomed trailer with a few posters on the wall, some of them stained with the blood from the crime, with a knocked over table and a few weapons hung up on a wall, and chairs and other things knocked over and even some broken items.

"Dang…this place looks like the aftermath of a battle scen-" I stop mid-step when I heard the sound of squishing liquid hit my shoe.

"HEY! Don't tamper with the crime scene!" Ema yelled out at me as I quickly jump away, shocked as I looked down and saw a large puddle of blood on the wooden floor, and well…I freaked out.

"I am so, SO sorry! I-I didn't mean it!" I said, trying to find a way to apologize as Lana just sighs.

"It's alright, it was an accident. You didn't see the blood pool. I almost made the same mistake." Lana reassured me, as I nod a bit.

'Ugh…stepping in a puddle of mud. I'm gonna need to clean my shoes or give them to the cops for evidence…not sure which I'd prefer.' I looked around the room, moving past the white tape that was used to mark the body.

"So…what do you know about the cause of death?" Apollo asked, as if it was just about asking about the weather…I swear he's getting TOO casual about this.

"A blade to the neck, cut through it. We don't know what kind of weapon did it because the muder weapon is missing. We believe it to be a sword of some kind." Ema explained. "I'm thinking that we can get more information once we find the murder weapon."

"OK. What about you main suspect? What do you know about him?" I asked, looking at the two.

"That we can tell you." Lana said as she got out her own smart phone and showed us the suspect's profile on it. "His name is Ken Doe. He's a martial artist and stunt man here at the studio. He's usually the guy you see dressing up as monsters, along with three of his friends and co-workers. One of them gave us the names of our vic and suspect."

"Where is he?" Apollo asked as I turned and I went wide-eyed as I saw a really gorgeous man walk up to us.

"Detectives, do you need any more questions?" He asked as I got a better look at him, and I could swear my face was redder than my hair. He was at least Apollo's age with dark brown hair with bangs that reach down to his eyebrows, dark green eyes, a simple white t-shirt under a black jacket that he put out really well and a pair of cut jeans. Of course, I wasn't checking him out or anything like that…

"It's OK, Jean. Go back to your trailer." Lana said as he nods and leaves.

"…Who was that?" I asked, as I could tell Widget was bright pink so I quickly hid it, as Ema just giggled.

"That's Jean Guarde, he's a co-worker for the people on the new Samurai Show. Never got the point of it, honestly." Lana said with a shrug as Ema rolled her eyes.

'Looks like someone is a fan' I thought, noticing the eye roll as I nod. "OK. I need names and I also need pictures of any evidence you found here."

"Understood. I sent pictures to the Prosecution Office earlier." Lana told me as I my Smart phone out as officers came up and began to put items in bags on the counter: a bandana with blood on it, clearly from the killer so I took a picture of that to send to Mr. Wright.

I looked over the other evidence from the room: A glove from a costume, a broken hook cane with a bird handle of some kind, and…I did a double take at the last piece of evidence. "What the?"

"What?" Ema asked, confused as I put on a pair of plastic gloves from my pocket and picked up the bag. Inside of the bag was a piece of paper: an autographed picture of the Samurai family.

"What was this doing here?" I asked, looking at Ema and Lana.

"To be honest, we're just as surprised. We were gonna check the handwriting when we got back to the lab." Ema explained to me as I got a good look at the autographs…especially Iron Ronin's, since I remembered him giving a message to Mr. Wright.

I set the bag down and took another picture. "Athena, you OK?" Apollo asked me but I zoned him out as I got my phone out.

"I'm gonna give a call to Mr. Wright." I said as I headed out to get a better signal, when I ran into the unlikeliest of people: The Steel Samurai himself.

"Whoa, sorry about that." Said the tall man as I look up at him with shock at the fact that…he wasn't wearing his mask so I got a good look at his face and, well…

"AHH!" I screamed loudly as I fell back in surprise as he just chuckled, as if amused. The guy had a feral appearance to him: wild-looking hair, a lot of stubble on his face and he was built like a tank and stood well over me.

"Sorry if I scared you ma'am. I'm Will Powers." The tall man said, as I did a double take.

"From the Evil Magistrate and the Matt Engarde case?" I asked, surprised as he nods. "I am SO sorry for screaming, Mr. Powers. I never saw a picture of you, so I didn't know it was you."

"It's alright. I tend to scare people when they first see me. Heck, Miss Fey thought I was a killer because of how I look." He said with a chuckle as Apollo came up, and I gained a smirk.

"Well, don't feel bad about that. Mr. Justice here made the same mistake with a case we worked on together with a man named Damian Tenma." I explained as he chuckled.

"Ironically enough, we had an episode where the Amazing Nine-Tails would come in as an ally. Good thing this wasn't next week…of course, Judan was a great guy…man, I hate to tell his wife about this, ya know?" He started to choke up and I got a tissue out of my bag.

"Here." I said as he nods and wiped his eyes. By seeing him like this, I could tell this was a really nice man, so it made sense he'd play a super hero: who else would be this nice and NOT get that role?

"Listen, I don't think Ken did this. Judan treated him as a son, and I know this: No one would have wanted to hurt Judan." Mr. Powers told me as I got up.

"How long has he been here?" I asked, curious as Mr. Powers rubbed his chin.

"Well, he's been here since the Pink Princess first aired. He helped train new actors for the shows how to do martial arts. He also helped on Nickel Samurai and now for this show. He's also helped on the studio's martial arts films." Mr. Powers explained as I write down the information on a note pad.

"Thanks Mr. Powers, this will be of some help. If you have any more information, mind letting us know?" I asked, handing him a card with my phone number as he nods and takes it.

"So…you were looking into the crime scene?" a voice asked as Apollo and I turned to see the Iron Ronin, still in full costume, near by.

'OK, does this guy sleep in that thing?' I thought as I look at him. "And you are? Seriously, what's your REAL name?"

"Not telling. I want your boss to figure it out." He said, rubbing his covered nose in a slightly smug way. "Of course, as the first witness to the stand, I think he can figure me out."

"Why do you think Mr. Doe killed Mr. Lee?" I asked as he just grunts a bit, and I could tell I made him mad.

"Listen here, sister. Mr. Lee was a real-deal samurai. There was NO way a guy who wasn't trained by him couldn't take him out. And I was on stage at the time of death, and he was one of the two people missing. And the other guy missing was had a stomach-ache, so he had to leave the stage." He told me, as I secretly put on a recording to record what he said.

"Alright, thanks Mr. Ronin." I told him as he just leaves with an angry grunt, and I can tell just from his tone from before that he was angry about this whole thing.

"Sorry about him, ma'am." Mr. Powers told me as Apollo and I looked at him. "I know he's a little rough around the edges, but he's a good kid. Trust me, I should know." That gave me a raised eyebrow.

'So the two know each other personally, huh? This could be something to look into.' I thought as I got my phone back out and began to dial a number.

"Hey Mr. Wright, we got some pictures of the evidence and we know what's going on. Well, kind of." I began to explain to Mr. Wright about the evidence and the story with the Martial Arts teacher.

January 30th, 14:23. Detention Center

(Phoenix's point of view)

"Thanks for the info, Athena. We just got to the Detention Center. This evidence should help us." I told Athena, walking towards the cells with Maya and Trucy.

"No problem, Boss. I hope we can help Mr. Doe out. I can tell he didn't do it, so I hope we can get the truth out." I nod with a small smile as I walked towards the cells.

"Alright, see you later, Athena." I said as I hung up as Trucy stopped us.

"What's wrong, Trucy?" I asked as she points towards the cell, with the two of us following her.

"You sure that's how the killer did it?" a voice asked as we all peeked into the room. Sitting across from a man we couldn't see was a man with an orange jumpsuit, shaggy graying red hair, dark green eyes, and wearing what looked like a lot of chains on his body.

"Indeed. Your perpetrator had to be provoked by something. Figure out what could have been what put him over the edge and find the murder weapon. After all, that is the true key to this case." Said the man with a very smooth voice, which sent a shiver down my spine.

'OK, this guy is creepy…' I thought as I led Maya and Trucy away from the door, while leading them to where we should go.

"Who was that guy?" Maya whispered to be as I just sighed.

"I have no idea, Maya…I have no idea." I told her as I lead her towards the main room.

End of Part 2
