A/N: Hey guys, it's Nathan. As I asked last time, I asked a question. I didn't pick one this time, but I got some interesting feedback, and this brings me to my point: Ask ME questions, as well. What's your favorite color? What's your opinion on _? Things like that. And i'll give a response, like this:
-Guest (1): How did I get introduced to both? Well, I got introduced to Phoenix Wright when I used to watch crime shows (and I still do). One day, I wondered if there was a crime game, and Phoenix Wright was one of the titles that came up. I watched the 1st game, and eventually played it on an emulator. I was hooked when I heard the full ost. That was amazing. I've been hooked ever since.
Now, RWBY is pretty recent. I've been a fan of Roosterteeth for 2 years at that point. At first, I wasn't to stoked for it. I watched the Red trailer right as the Yellow trailer came out. I watched all 4 in one sitting twice. I always got home and watched the episode as soon as it came out. Now, the idea for this story didn't originally come from these 2, as I will address in my next question.
-Guest: Yeah, I did watch Turnabout Storm. It. Was. Amazing. It was beautifully written, and the case was thought out amazingly. They picked a pretty good ost for it, and the animation was great. Now, fun fact: This was originally a sequel to that. But, my love for the MLP and it's fandom died right about RWBY came out. Now, will I write a true sequel for it? Maybe. It depends on how successful this is.
Now, with all the questions out of the way, let's get to the story!
They walked through the front gates, the 2 lawyers accompanied by the 3 girls now. As the lawyers looked on, they were very impressed. The school was kept clean, organized, and everything looked beautiful. The birds were singing ass the way until the yellow tape. Apollo and Athena were shocked at the sudden change in both scenery and mood. So much beautiful green grass all the way here, and then bloodshed.
The scene was very gruesome. Blood was everywhere. Once they got a glimpse, the 3 girls that led them here had to look away immediately. Blood covered the ground in puddles, almost like it was raining blood for days in just this area. Apollo heard Athena whimper a bit, and, knowing her past fear of blood, put a hand on her shoulder. She looked at Apollo, and nodded, as they walked in, watching their step.
Once they got to the head, they were greeted by a man in a darker green coat, like one most detectives wear. He had a scruffy beard, and kept a pencil behind his ear. "Hey! What are you kids doing here!? This is a crime scene, pals!"
"Woah woah, hold on!" Apollo reasoned, "We're lawyers for a Blake Belladonna."
"Blake Ballarina?" He asked, confused for a moment.
"No; Belladonna."
"...Oh! The murderer?" The detective's mind finally clicked, partly.
"Well, she isn't a murder yet, at least." Apollo looked over the detective's shoulders, and 2 bodies were on the ground, next to each other. "Anyway, my name is Apollo Justice, and this is Athena Cykes, my co-worker."
"Hi." Athena waved from behind Apollo.
"Athena... Cykes? I wonder if..." Gunshoe's voice trailed off, thinking.
"Wonder if... what?" Athena asked, waving her hands for him to continue.
"Ah! It's nothing, really." Gumshoe ended his thought. "If you want to take a look, feel free. Here," he handed Apollo 2 paper bags, "In case you ned to throw u-" The detective suddenly turned pale, eyes widened to full extent. He ran by Apollo, through the tape, as he opened a bag, and started puking in it.
The Lawyers just looked at their bag's, scoffing at it at first. Then they took one last look at the scene before heading in, and put their bags at the ready.
Once they walked in, the smell instantly hit them like a train ramming a car. The instantly doubled over from the smell, but trudged on. Then, they got to the bodies, where a corner was kneeling over. "Hey, we're the lawyers for a Blake Belladonna, the current suspect. Can you give us a few details on the bodies?" Apollo asked, now holding his nose.
"Well, the bodies were almost mutilated. But, luckily for them, they were killed first before all of this," He reached his arm out, pointing towards all the blood splatter, "happened. They were strangled, out in this very spot, by the looks of it."
"Ok, so they're already dead. Why mutilate the bodies after?" Apollo asked for an open discussion, which the coroner instantly turned down.
"That's your job." He said, getting up. But, luckily, Athena got 1 last question in, "Do you know what could've caused this damage?"
"I can do more than that, sweetheart." The corner pointed over to a place where police surrounded, "The murder weapon is over there as well. Good luck." He said, muttering, "you're gonna need it." as he walked away. Apollo and Athena looked at each other, then over to the circle of police officers, and walked over there.
As they got over there, they dispersed, leaving the evidence where it was. The smell got stronger, as they got closer, and closer. Apollo felt like leaving, but, knowing he had a job to do, didn't hesitate as he strutted forward. Luckily enough, the 3 girls were right behind them. They blonde girl tapped both of their shoulders making them startled. "Hey, you might need these." In her palm were 2 cloths-pins. They took them, and pinched them on their noses. Apollo looked up, and saw that the 3 girls, now accompanied by Trucy, were wearing them on their noses. Apollo gave a thankful nod, and headed towards the murder weapons again.
As they got there, Apollo got a good idea of what the things were. And was mortified forever. The murder weapon was there, which was obviously the rope. But there was something else there, something covered with enough blood to make a hospital rich.
Apollo got right over it, looking at it at different angles, before making the conclusion. "It's a sword of some kind..." Apollo looked over his shoulder, and the blonde one was in tears already.
"Yang...?" He asked slowly. She fell to her knees, crying out now. Athena rushed to her side, calming her down. "Yang, what is it? You can tell us, it will all be okay." Athena rubbed her back, trying to calm her down just enough.
"*Sob* It's... it's... hers. It's her weapon." Athena couldn't even stop the breakdown that Yang went through at that moment. Her friends were at her side, comforting her, and allowed Athena to stand back, stunned at what she heard. Once she comprehended it, she didn't even give her mind the opportunity to wonder. She knew, in her heart of hearts, that that girl wearing the bow was innocent. She just needed to believe.
Apollo stood next to Athena, mind racing. What next? "So the crime scene, huh?" He asked. Athena only nodded. "Where do we go from here?"
"...Maybe the headmaster's office. He might have some information."
"Good idea. Do you still have that map?" Athena gave him the map, and walked over to tell the girls where they were going. Apollo looked over the map carefully. Then, in his peripheral vision, he saw someone at the tree line. Once he looked at it straight on, it was on 2 legs, and was all black. Before Apollo could call out to him/her/it, it ran off into the trees. Apollo stood there for a moment, head beginning to turn.
"C'mon Apollo! We gotta go!" Athena tugged on his shoulder, and Apollo went with her, looking over his shoulder every once in a while.
They finally got to the building, and were immediately greeted by the desk lady. "Hello, welcome to Beacon. Are you interested in enrolling your child?" Apollo and Athena looked at each other, both instantly grossed out by the thought of them...
"No, no, no, no, you don't understand." Athena Put her hands in front of her, waving them while explaining to the lady why they were there.
"Ohh! Ok, I'll call him up for-"
"That won't be necessary. He's expecting them." Apollo and Athena turn around to see a lady with a black and white dress, and a purple cape following behind her glasses.
"Ok, Glynda. Take them to him." The lady behind the desk went back to her work.
"Ok, come along you two. We have a bit to discuss." Glynda turned around, and made a follow motion with her hands. The lawyers looked at each other, and left behind Glynda.
Elsewhere...
Blackquill sat at the cafe, drinking a cup of his coffee. He sat in his usual prosecutor attire, as this was his most comfortable cloths he had. After all, he wore them in jail for the longest time. They started to grow on him.
As he looked out the window, he heard a bell ring, the little bell that sits above the door. He didn't look to as it was, but he somehow heard 2 sets of footsteps that walked through. He then realized, as he continued to hear it, that the entire cafe had gone silent. Still, he didn't care who it was.
That is, until the footsteps slipped into the other side of the booth. When he looked up, a man with a white top-hat appeared. He wore an all white suit, and he wore an arrogant smile. "Funny, Prosecutor Blackquill, I thought we'd never meet."
"It would be a true pitty if we didn't Roman." Blackquill said, showing no fear.
"Say, how's my brother doing?" Roman asked sarcastically. Blackquill didn't give a response. "I have a job for you, Mr. Blackquill." Roman pushed a file towards him. Blackquill only looked at it, not saying anything. "It would be in your best interest if you were to accept."
"Are you intimidating me?" Blackquill asked, chuckling. "Prison can change a man, Roman. It change syour mind, you begin to think like a murderer."
"But that doesn't make you a real murderer." Roman pointed out.
"Ah, yes, but I could kill a 15 year old girl running around with a red hood." Blackquill countered. Roman smashed his fist into the table, his eyes on fire. Then, he realized what Blackquill, the former psychologist was doing. He chuckled, "Oh, Mrs. Cykes did teach you, didn't she? Fine, don't accept. I hope you have a good day." And with that, Roman got up, and left, leaving the folder with him. He looked at the folder, seeing the name "Blake Belladonna" on the cover.
To Be Continued...
A/N: Chapter done! Again, this is a rare update. Believe it or not, it took me 3 days to write this, each time was about 20 minutes. I don't have a lot of time. So, no any real-world updates.
I encourage you to leave Reviews, Constructive Criticism, and Questions. Thanks!
May God be with you this week!
