North Matthews: Ace Attorney

Disclaimer: I don't own Phoenix Wright or the OC Sam

Chapter 2: Turnabout Lighting, Day 1 Trial

I was in the courtroom, waiting for the trial to start and I was also waiting for Athena, Sam and Apollo to show up. I was about to fall asleep when, "Court is about to start, the defense attorney must come into court. If she is not here, then the client gets a guilty." The bailiff told me. "I'll substitute for now. She'll get here, in due time." I said, walking into the courtroom and I could all eyes turn to me. "That guys the attorney. He is probably going to lose. Why is he here? I thought Samantha Johnson was going to take the case. Looks like a loser will take her stead." Was all I could hear throughout the courtroom. I was already sweating bullets. (Great, first few seconds and already everyone hates me. Kind of like law schoo- Don't think about that now!) I sighed, and took my place at the defenses bench, fully ready for the trial ahead.

"This court is now in session for the trial of Robin Newman!" The judge yelled, banging his gavel. "The defense is ready!" I yelled, putting on my shades. How does Klavier wear these and not feel the slightest bit awkward? "The prosecution is ready as well. Another day, another rookie to destroy a rookie." Mr. Payne said, grinning his smart-ass grin. I gritted my teeth and said something quite funny, "And you got humiliated by a freaking rookie not too long ago, considering the fact that Phoenix whooped your ass." I said, turning Payne's grin into a grimace. "Urk! Phoenix Wright isn't a rookie, he is a legendary-" Payne got out before I yelled, "Objection! At the time, he was a technical rookie, he had just gotten his badge back and was just returning to the courtroom!" I yelled.

"Can we just get on with the trial, please? This is a courtroom, not a debate club!" The judge yelled. "Fine, let's get this on. I am going to win anyways." Payne mumbled, his face still in a grimace. "You really don't seem to be ready for this." I thought to myself, as the first witness was brought up to the witness stand. "Witness, state your name and occupation for the record." Mr. Payne said, back to his normal self. "Robin Newman, I am a potter and almost a prosecutor." Robin said, after throwing down a pot teary eyed. I sweat dropped. "All we need is a testimony. ""I said, slamming my hands down on the table. "OK! OK!, SHEESH! MANNNNN!" Robin yelled.

Witness Testimony- What I was doing on the night of the murder.

I was out looking at some pottery outside of the store I go to.

When I was walking by, I heard a scream inside my room.

Surprised, I ran inside and saw the woman there, dead!

"Well then, that was interesting. Your cross-examination, Mr. Matthews." The judge said to me.

Cross-Examination

I was out looking at some pottery outside of the store I go to.

When I was walking by, I heard a scream inside my room.

Surprised, I ran inside and saw the woman there, dead!

"HOLD IT! Could you find any murder weapon?" I asked, hoping for an answer.

"Just one item. A gun. That's all that was used for murder." Robin replied, shivering just slightly.

"I request that the statement be added to their testimony!"

The only thing used to murder the victim was a gun.

"Objection! Robin, you are wrong about one fact! There are two murder weapons in this murder case!" I yelled, slamming my hands on the table like nobody's business.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Robin yelled, jumping back. Payne just grinned.

"You do realize that you just put the nail in your own coffin? This means the defendant is most certainly guilty!"

"Dammit!" I yelled, as sweat poured down my face.

"Your honor, a verdict should be handed down. Here and now!" Payne yelled.

"I gotta do something, I gotta- oh not now!" I thought to myself before something horrible flashed in my mind.

All I could see was fire, and more fire. Death has surrounded me and I can't escape its grip.

"Looks like this trial I win!"

"Objection!" I heard a voice yell.

"S-Sam? Thank god you're here…" I said before my vision faded to black.

Sam POV

I knew he was suffering. I HAD to help North, "Your Honor, I'd like to take over for Mr. Matthews."

"Very well, Ms. Johnson."

I could hear voices throughout the courtroom, the people in the gallery sounded happier now that I was here.

Its Samantha! That loser won't be defending anymore! She'll get Ms. Newman a "Not Guilty"!

"Will you all shut up?" I asked, annoyed, "North is just as good as I, I'm just older." I scoffed at turned towards North, "Are you gonna be alright?" I asked.

"Yeah, I-I'm sorry, I-I-I failed, yet again, just like long ago." North sobbed, tears coming down his face.

"North listen to me! You won't fail!" I placed a hand on his shoulder, "Now c'mon! You're North Matthews and you're fine!" Gosh Apollo is rubbing off on me! Damn!

"I-I am North Matthews and I AM FINE!" North yelled.

I took my hand off his shoulder and slammed my hands on the desk, "I'd like to continue questioning Ms. Robin Newman!"

"Yeah, there is something like a therapy session, I suppose. If only we had Athena." North said, turning red. Third Person POV Change

Sam pulled out a small device, "Thena lent it to me." She placed Widget around her neck and put the glove on. (write out Robin's testimony okay

"Alright, Ms. Newman, time for a little therapy!" North yelled, slamming his hands on the desk.

"MAN! I WAS AT THE STORE GETTING MY STUFF. WHEN I got back, There was a Woman dead. there was a gun and a blade nearby." Robin testified, Yelling most of the time.

"Well, I suppose that this does require therapy. The defense may start its therapy session." The Judge intoned.

North POV

"WOAH! This is all shock! What is this therapy session gonna turn out like?" I yelled, jumping back.

"All you have to do is probe." Sam said.

"Oh, ok. That seems easy enough." I mumbled. "Mon Ami, Let's do this!" I yelled, smacking my fists together.

"MAN! I WAS AT THE STORE GETTING MY STUFF. WHEN I got back, There was a Woman dead."

"GOT IT!" I yelled, startling everyone around me.

"Ms. Newman, you were scared of the dead body, weren't you?" I asked. "Yeah man! It's unnatural to find a dead body in your room!" Robin yelled, being her normal self. "Alright, time to add some new information!" Sam yelled, adding in the statement to the mood matrix. Noise: 50%

"It's unnatural to find a dead by in your room, MMMMan!"

"GOT IT! Robin, you probably don't notice it, but you feel anger here at this statement." I said.

"I'm just angry that I got framed for this!" She yelled.

Noise: 25%

"Adding that statement!" Sam yelled, putting the statement in.

"I'm just angry I got framed for this! I saw a gun and knife nearby!"

"Hold it! Did the knife have blood on it?" I asked.

"Yeah, but it dried faster than the blood on the gun!"

"Add that in, Sam!" I yelled.

"Yeah but it dried faster than the blood on the Gun!"

"Objection! Robin, this proves, without doubt, that you are innocent." I yelled, putting on a smile. "Objection! There is nothing of the sort to-" Payne got out before I interrupted, "Objection! If Robin was the murderer, then she wouldn't have guessed that the knife was first to dry. In fact, it was the gun's blood that dried first, not the knife's!" I yelled, pointing my finger. "GUAGHHHH!" Payne yelled, jumping back.

"Your Honor, I request that there be more investigation in order for this trial to continue!" I yelled. "I agree to the defense's request. There will be a day of investigation before the next trial! Court is adjourned!" The judge yelled, slamming his gavel.
