//------------------------------// // 2-2 Trail Latter // Story: Twilight Sparkle Ace Attorney Case 1 Turnabout Abduction // by DeviousNights //------------------------------// "Well Twilight, it sure has been awhile. I heard from a unicorn over the phone that you were in another pinch. I'm here to help you prove Pinkie Pie innocent." He said pointing his finger at Dark Side. Dark Side simply shrugged his shoulders. "Do as you please. This case is already done. We left no evidence unaccounted for." "OBJECTION! There is one piece of evidence that you had taken a closer look at. Twilight? Remember the butcher knife Pinkie supposedly used to murder the victim? Take a closer look at the handle of the knife." "? The handle?" She asked herself, inspecting it. On the handle were inscribed three letters "SGC". "Dark Side." "What do you want you can't possibly be still trying to disprove my theory." He said smugly combing his hair back, levitating a comb back and forth. "Actually, I can." She said with a voice full of confidence. She felt that, at this point it was make it or break it. She wasn't sure what exactly "SGC" meant, but it was her only lead. "If you would, take a look at the handle of the knife." "That's some pretty penmanship." He said complimenting the pony who made it's ability to craft letters and various designs. "Hmmm... SGC? Is that some kind of pony word or something?" "Er, no your honor, it seems to stand for initials." "Wait! You can't be implying that-" Horseshoe said, piecing things together. "She is." Phoenix said boldly. "This knife may very well not even belong to the defendant." "Hmm... Well, this is a sudden turn of events. It seems that this knife may very well not even be the defendant's, meaning it would be very hard to gain access to it. Well I may be able to announce my ver-" "OBJECTION!" Dark Side objected. The whole court went silent. "You just sealed your fate Twilight Sparkle." "What are you talking about, you surely can't talk your way out of this one, prosecutor!" Phoenix said, not knowing his name. "Actually, I can. Thanks to you the judge will finally be able to declare "guilty"!" The crowd in the stands went wild unbeknownst to what Dark Side was about to reveal to the court. "That dirty prosecutor can't crawl his way out!" "Go get em purple pony and blue weirdo!" "Mommy, I don't like the new blue guy." "OBJECTION! Enough chit chat, as I was saying Twilight, you dug your own grave. "SGC" can only mean one thing. sSuGarcube Corner.." Dark Side said asserting his claim. "No way!" Phoenix exclaimed with his trademark surprised expression. "No!!!" Twilight shrieked "Horseshoe! You know where I'm going with this! Testify as to how this proves that the defendant, or more accurately the murderer, that she is in fact, the killer." He barked a Horseshoe. He flinched backwards in shock. "Yes sir!" He exclaimed saluting as he did so. "That pony reminds me of someone Twilight." Phoenix told Twilight, referring to Horseshoe. "That'll have to wait Phoenix!" Witness Testimony (Allegro) ---Reason for Suspicion PT.2--- Well, Like Dark Side just said, The knife clearly means Sugarcube Corner. This reveals that only an employee has access to these knives. Combine that with the hoof prints and there is little room for doubt. "Well, Ms. Sparkle you may begin your cross examination." The judge said. "Yes your honor." Cross Examination (Allegro) Well, Like Dark Side just said, "HOLD IT! Detective Horseshoes! You are your own individual! You don't always have to follow up behind Dark Side. Use your own brain!" "Hey! I take that offensively pal! I'll have you kno-" "OBJECTION! Horseshoes, there's no need for any explanations. Just hurry up and wrap this up." Dark Side commanded, making the same piercing noise with his horn. "Sorry sir....please don't cut my pay..." He asked meekly. "OBJECTION! Actually Dark Side there's no need. I already found my contradiction. Notice, that, in Horseshoe's testimony, that he stated that, 'you can't gain access unless employed.' While that is true there is one other person who could've obtained it, namely the victim!" "Wait....WHAT?" Dark Side exclaimed, taken aback by her claim. "Well, they don't keep the knives relatively hidden so it's not a stretch to think so. Ergo, it's possible he committed suicide!" Twilight exclaimed, believing she was onto something. "OBJECTION! Sorry Twilight that is impossible. A suicide could not include multiple cuts around the body. It's simply impossible." Dark Side explained. "But still, this proves that there is still a possibility!" "Ummm...Twilight?" Spike said unsure of what he was reading on the back of Pinkie's memo. "What Spike?" "Read this..." He said, handing the memo over. "Do not forget. Bring the recipe. If you do not Maud probably will not make it to see tomorrow. Signed~Soarin?!!!!!" "Wait what?! The one from the Wonderbolts?!" Phoenix exclaimed rather loudly forgetting their situation for a moment. "It seems so. Your Honor. Please read the back side of Pinkie s memo. I believe we can cast suspicion on another individual with this evidence." She said, relinquishing the memo over to the judge. "....recipe....live.....Maud....WHOAH!!!! Soar in!?" He said skimming until he came across Soarin's name. "But he went missing weeks ago!" "Well, your honor , this proves that this requires further investigation." Twilight stated, hoping to get another investigation day. "Well this does seem to be the case. Your thoughts, Dark Side?" "I don't care. I will still get my guilty verdict in the end. They can have the rest of the year for all I care!" Dark Side taunted. "Alright Ms. Sparkle, you have the rest of the year to-" "OBJECTION! Not literally!" To be continued, I may job st edit this chapter j instead of making another.
