This story is a sequel to Friendship is SHOWTIME!!

Takes place in the same verse as Friendship is Showtime. It's actually a Prequel, not a sequel, but FIMfiction doesn't have the option to my knowledge.

All things have a memory, and the planet is no different. The Gaia Memory contains knowledge of everything that has ever existed in the land of Equestria. If knowledge is power, then the power of the Gaia Memory is a great and terrible indeed.

When this power is harnessed by a mysterious syndicate and falls into the hooves of criminals, Cloudsdale experiences a crime wave the like never before seen. The floating city's only salvation may be a mysterious two-in-one detective.

Those who make Cloudsdale cry, prepare to count up your sins!

Alternate Universe beginning several years before "The Mare in the Moon".

NOTICE: This is an unofficial and highly expanded story adaptation of the "PWaaMLPfim" Youtube Video Series: Phoenix Wright / My Little Pony FIM - Turnabout Storm! The videos came first, NOT this story!!!!

A quiet summer night in Ponyville takes a violent turn when two pegasus ponies enter the Everfree Forest and only one comes out alive, leaving the second accused of murder, on trial for her life. Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright finds himself dragged from his own world, magically summoned to Equestria by Twilight Sparkle to defend Rainbow Dash from charges of killing Ace Swift, a superstar pegasus athlete and champion racer.

Trapped in an unfamiliar world ruled by magical talking ponies, Phoenix must draw on all his wits and experience to solve the crime and uncover the conspiracy behind it... before Rainbow Dash is banished to the sun for a murder she didn't commit.
