Ace Attorney Opening
Phoenix
Hi, My name is Phoenix Wright. I was once a famous attorney that fought countless battles till one day I met a rookie prosecutor that cost me my badge. I aided Apollo through his battle. The courtroom has gotten to be even worse since I was gone. I went back and took the bar exam again to take on these fierce opponents. My road will change forever now because my old friends have come and helped me on my new quest in the courthouse. I am ready for battle, OBJECTION!
(Objection 2001: Ace Attorney: The Series Theme)
Phoenix
(Flash back to Episode 7, Objection! 2002) Last Time as the trial continued Mr. Higurashi and Iris untangled the ties in the mystery. I find out that Kagome's clothes were in fact covered in blood. They were covered in Iris' blood. Iris was stabbed during this case. To end this long mystery on why Iris was here. Maya called her here to take care of her daughter Mia. Five years ago Maya was with Pearls and Kay and Maya got raped. The man is in jail thanks to Edgeworth.

Phoenix
Kagome, why didn't you tell me all this.
Kagome
I was in shock that I got arrested and I blocked most of it out. When I get scared, I blacked out a lot of things. I'm sorry.
Phoenix
That's okay. I know most of it. Only you know who's in the black clothes Kagome. You need to testify.
Kagome
I don't know if I can.
Phoenix
You've gotta try Kagome. InuYasha has been worried for you.
Kagome
(Closes eyes, begins to cry.) I… I know, I just don't know if I can do it.
Maya
Nick, I have to pick up Mia. Iris has to go get a check-up.
Phoenix
Okay, you think about what I said.
Maya
Okay.
Phoenix
Okay, Maya let's go.
Maya
Okay.

(Iris gives Mia to Maya.)
Maya
Thank you, Iris.
Iris
No problem, what are cousins for?
Maya
Was she a problem?
Iris
No. (Looks at Phoenix) Oh Phoenix, Miles said you can talk to Tammy before the trial.
Phoenix
Thanks.
(Iris leaves.)
Phoenix
(Bends down to Little Mia's level) So you must be Mia. You look just like mommy. You evenhave aunty's cheeks. (Touches cheeks.)
Maya
(Looks at Little Mia.) She does? I hadn't notice.
Little Mia
(Looks at Maya.) Mommy?
Maya
Sorry. (Looks away for Little Mia.)
Phoenix
(Holds out hand to Little Mia.) I'm Phoenix, you can call me Nick if Phoenix is too hard for you.
Little Mia
(Smiles.) Okay, Nick. Are you a mean person?
Phoenix
Oh, I see where you're getting at. No sweet heart, I help people. I know daddy hurt mommy before you were born, Mommy has known me since Aunt Mia died.
Little Mia
Really, you knew Aunt Mia?
Phoenix
Yeah, she taught me how to be a defense attorney.
(Tammy and Ema shows up.)
Ema
Mr. Wright, here's Tammy.
Phoenix
(Gets up.) Hello Tammy.
Tammy
(Looks up at Phoenix slowly.) Hello, are you a friend of Iris?
Phoenix
Why, yes I am. What can you tell me about Kagome?
Tammy
(Confused.) Kagome? (Smiles.) Oh, she's that girl with the red and white doggy that walks on two.
Phoenix
(Raises eyebrow.) Yes she is.
Tammy
(Puts hand to chin.) She was hurt when Mommy was killed.
Phoenix
How did she get hurt?
Tammy
This woman in black clothes rammed my bat into her belly. She fell on top of Iris. I picked up the phone to call 9-1-1. Mr. Gumshoe has been taking care of me until Iris got out of the hospital.
Phoenix
Really? Well thank you so much for that info. Did you get hurt?
Tammy
No. I was scared I… I… I can't say it.
Phoenix
Don't worry about it. It happens to the best of us.
Ema
(Looks at Phoenix while placing her hands on Tammy's shoulder.) So how's Mia doing?
Phoenix
(Looks at Ema.) Shouldn't you be asking how Maya's doing?
Maya
(Looks at Ema.) Yeah, I'm the one that got hurt not Mia.
Ema
(Looks at Maya with a smile.) Right, how are you doing?
Maya
Trying my best to hold-up. Keeping my daughter from trouble.
Ema
To let any of you know, Kay is doing fine. Her appendix was removed. The poison was removed and she'll be out tomorrow.
Phoenix
That's great news.
Maya
Yeah, I was beginning to worry about her.
Phoenix
Well gotta get some rest and get ready for tomorrow's trial.
Ema
(Smiles.) Okay.
July 8, 2027- 10:00 a.m. - Courtroom No. 3
(Gavel Slams. Trial Begins 2001)
Judge Perciding
(Looks at Edgeworth.) So did you get Tammy cleared with Interpol?
Edgeworth
(Points to the judge.) I had them begging at my knees while I threw them a bone.
Judge Perciding
(Closes his eye and then looks up.) I really don't care for the Dead Ringer pun, but let's get her on the stand.
Edgeworth
I thought that was a good Meat Loaf song.
(Tammy takes the stand.)
Edgeworth
Now can you state your name and what grade you're in?
Tammy
My name is Tammy McMichaels and I'm in 7th grade.
Edgeworth
If you would try the best you can and testify to what you saw the morning of your mother's death.
Tammy
(Testimony ~ Allegro 2001: From Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney.) Okay, I'll try.
- Iris was talking to my mother about my behavior.
- I was eating my breakfast when the door flew opened.
- I saw a woman wearing black clothes.
- Her face had nylon over it and she had long black hair.
- She stabbed Iris in the arm and pushed her.
- She then picked up my baseball bat and swung it at my mother's head.
- Blood flew all over the room and on me.
- Then Kagome enters the room fighting for my bat.
- She told me to run to the bathroom when I saw the woman jab the bat into Kagome's belly and threw her on top of Iris.
- I ran to call the police when the woman grabbed me.
- That's when Mr. Gumshoe came and saved me. That's all I can remember.
(Music fades out.)
Phoenix
(Puts hand on chin) (I can't find anything wrong.) Could you see the woman's face through the nylon, Tammy?
Tammy
Not really?
Phoenix
Thank you.
Edgeworth
(Pointing at Phoenix.) Mr. Wright, are you assuming that someone knows the killer's identity.
Phoenix
(Looks at Edgeworth.) Assuming no, do I know who knows the killer's identity, yes.
Edgeworth
Who would that be?
Phoenix
The one who was face to face with the killer. Saw the face up close.
Edgeworth
(Folds arms.) Tell us by all means.
Phoenix
(Puts out to Kagome.) Kagome Higurashi, ...
(Objection! 2001)
Phoenix
...The same person who tried to protect Tammy.
Tammy
(Shocked.) She was after me?
Phoenix
That's the only reason Kagome fought back was to protect Tammy.
Edgeworth
Are you suggesting that you have your client take the stand?
Phoenix
Yes, I am.
Edgeworth
What are we waiting for? Kagome will be the next witness. Tammy you may step down.
Tammy
Okay.
(Tammy gets off of the stand and Kagome takes the stand. Music fades out.)
Edgeworth
Name and occupation please.
Kagome
Kagome Higurashi and I'm unemployed right now.
Edgeworth
Tell us your story of the scene.
Kagome
(Testimony ~ Allegro 2001: From Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney.) Alright.
- I was exiting the bathroom when I heard a woman scream.
- I could see that Ms. McMichael's door was opened. I saw a woman in black at the doorway.
- I ran in when I saw Tammy standing in the kitchen.
- The woman in black headed towards Tammy as I grabbed the bat.
- I wasn't sure of who the person was behind the nylon mask.
- Then she drove the bat into my pelvis.
- She threw me aside.
- If I saw a picture of this person I'm sure I'd remember.
(Music fades out.)
Judge Perciding
If only we knew who she was.
Phoenix
Thanks to Tammy we know the person has long black hair.
Maya
That's right, who could it have been.
Phoenix
I know, Maya channel your sister.
Maya
Why?
Phoenix
She could give me something.
Maya
I'll try.
Mia
(Inside Phoenix's head.) Phoenix don't try to figure out who she is, find out who Stacy had a grudge with.)
Phoenix
(Shocked.) What? Maya don't channel her.
Maya
I couldn't, she couldn't reach me.
Phoenix
The only person that knows who she is, is Stacy and you Edgeworth.
Edgeworth
(Shocked.) Why me?
Phoenix
You have all her files in your office. Before you were prosecutor that room was her's.
Edgeworth
I do recall seeing a report about a black haired girl. She was convicted by Stacy when Stacy knew she was innocent. Stacy couldn't help it that the defense attorney was so weak. Yes, that case was 12-years-ago before Tammy was born. Stacy was pregnant, the FD-27 case.
Judge Perciding
(Shocked.) The Maggie Johnson case.
Edgeworth
Maggie Johnson, if we had her photo then this case would be solved.
Phoenix
Then we need Gumshoe.
Edgeworth
It's strange that something like this came up. Gumshoe should be here with that file.
Gumshoe
HOLD IT!
(Objection 2001)
(Gumshoe shows up.)
Gumshoe
I've got that file.
Edgeworth
(Points at Gumshoe.) I need that photo.
Gumshoe
(Pulls out photo.) This one of the defendant?
Kagome
(Shocked.) That's her.
Edgeworth
(Arms wide open.) Case closed.
Judge Perciding
Well since we are all in agreement, then this case is over. I find the defendant, Ms. Kagome Higurashi…NOT GUILTY.
(Cheers from everyone. Music fades out.)
Judge Perciding
Courts adjourned.
July 8, 2027- 11:30 a.m.- Defendant Lobby No. 1
(Phoenix is talking to Kagome. Won the Lawsuit ~ The First Success: From Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney.)
Phoenix
Congratulations, Kagome.
Kagome
(Crying.) Thank you so much.
(Hugs Phoenix when InuYasha shows up.)
InuYasha
(Looks at Kagome and Phoenix hugging.) Hey, can I get in this hug too?
Kagome
Sure, InuYasha. (They all hug.)
Phoenix
(So that ends my first case back with Maya back at the office .)
(Music fades out.)
