[bunniefuu]

PW: The m*rder at Hazakura Temple

PW: was an attempt to wipe out the Kurain main family's bloodline,

PW: a horrifying assassination plot by Morgan Fey.

PW: The victim, Elise,was really Maya's mother,

PW: Misty Fey.

PW: And we entered the final day of the trial.

PW: Sensing something off with Iris's behavior,I realized who she really was.

PW: It was the spirit of Dahlia Hawthorne,her twin sister who'd already been ex*cuted.

DH: Dahlia Hawthorne.

DH: Permanently retired.

PW: Where is the real Iris?

PW: And what about Maya?

Title: Bridge to the Turnabout — th Trial

God: Dahlia Hawthorne?

God: Not going to bother hiding your identity anymore, huh?

DH: Why should I? After all, I'm dead.

DH: There's really nothing you can do to punish me!

J: H-How could this be?

PW: These are the instructions written by Morgan Fey.

PW: Did you go along with her plan?

DH: That's right.

DH: Since I was on death row and she was my mother,

DH: it was actually pretty easy to meet with her.

DH: That's when I heard about her plan.

J: And what was the plan?

DH: To m*rder Maya Fey.

PW: What? You were going to k*ll Maya?

DH: The idea was for me to k*ll her and have the blame pinned on Iris.

DH: The plan went a bit wrong, but it seems to have succeeded.

PW: Lies!

PW: Maya's just trapped inside the Sacred Cavern!

DH: You're as foolishly optimistic as ever,my darling Feenie.

DH: I can tell you the truth now.

DH: I've despised you ever since we met.

DH: Your sniveling naivete and your pathetic faith in others...

PW: Why k*ll Maya?

DH: Making her daughter Master was everything to Morgan Fey.

DH: But to do that, she needed the main family heir gone. That's all.

PW: Make Pearls Master?

J: What's this "Master," anyway?

God: Of the Kurain School of Channeling,which has economic and political influence.

DH: If the main bloodline died out, a branch family member would become Master.

DH: That's the only reason she raised Pearl, who has strong spiritual powers.

PW: Enough!

PW: Pearls would never accept that plan, anyway!

DH: Her opinion didn't matter.

DH: All that innocent baby had to do was channel me as her dear mommy said.

God: And you'd take care of the rest after taking over her body?

DH: Bingo.

DH: Seriously, what a garbage, ridiculously stupid plan.

PW: If that's how you feel, why did you help her carry it out?

DH: I only act in my own self-interest.

DH: The reason I helped her was for myself.

PW: What?

DH: Yeah, it was for revenge.

God: Revenge, huh?

DH: Not for one day did I ever forget.

DH: I was sentenced to die because of that woman.

PW: Mia?

DH: I wanted her to facethe same humiliation I did.

DH: I wanted her to feelthe same pain she made me feel.

God: She's nuts.

DH: She went and died before me.

DH: But even when the body dies, the spirit lives on forever.

DH: I wanted to take the life of the person she loved most with my own hands.

DH: That would be the one and only wayI could take my revenge!

PW: Just for that? For that, you would k*ll Maya?!

DH: Don't waste your time preaching to the dead.

DH: There's not a thing you can do to me.

DH: That night,

DH: at about : PM, I materialized into this world.

DH: I quickly pinned my hair upand put on a hood.

DH: Then I picked up the staff next to meand left Hazakura Temple.

DH: The head nun at the Inner Temple never doubted that I was Iris.

DH: She left behind Maya Fey, who was getting ready in the outhouse,

DH: and headed back to the main temple.

DH: I cornered her in front of the stone lantern

DH: and went at her with the dagger I got from the storeroom.

PW: Are you saying you stabbed Maya?

DH: It's strange, but I don't have a clear memoryof what happened after that.

DH: I don't know... I think I was stabbed.

PW: You were stabbed? By whom?!

DH: Isn't it obvious? By Maya Fey!

DH: She k*lled me!

PW: No way! That's not like her at all!

DH: I started blacking out,

DH: so I scrawled her name on the lantern.

DH: I just hoped it would cast suspicion on her.

ioyaM,Sign: ayaM

God: How vindictive can you be?

DH: And the next time I woke up,

DH: I was in the Sacred Cavern inside the Inner Temple.

J: The Sacred Cavern? Why were you there?

DH: That's what I'd like to know.

DH: I wanted to hurry up and go seeMaya's corpse with my own eyes.

DH: But...

DH: I couldn't.

PW: I see! The trick lock!

DH: It took me hours to disarm that stupid lock!

DH: Just when I'd gotten out, that earthquake hit.

DH: And just then,

DH: Lady Luck showed up.

DH: Iris showed up, all by herself.

DH: I got her to tell me what was going on

DH: and then locked her in the Sacred Cavern.

DH: It was then that I learned exactly what had happened.

PW: What do you mean?

DH: I'd misunderstood one thing, you see.

DH: I'd assumed that Pearl Fey had been the one who summoned me.

God: Well, that was Morgan Fey's plan.

DH: But I was wrong.

DH: The person who actually called my spirit that night...

PW: ...was Elise Deauxnim.

PW: Misty Fey.

DH: Exactly!

DH: So back then,

DH: after I lost consciousness, it was her bodyleft lying in front of the lantern.

DH: I wasn't able to k*ll Maya.

DH: But I did make her committhe most vile sin a human can commit.

DH: Indeed!

DH: The sin of k*lling her own mother!

DH: And unable to bear the guilt, Maya Fey took her own life.

Sign: Objection!

PW: Objection!

PW: No way! That's just absurd!

DH: Just think about it.

DH: The fact that she has disappearedis evidence enough.

PW: Where are you saying she is, then?

DH: The bottom of the Eagle River.

DH: After k*lling her own mother, she threw herself in the river in despair.

DH: Most bodies that wind up down thereare lost forever.

PW: Wrong! Maya's just trappedin the Sacred Cavern.

God: Oops. Sorry, my phone calls for me.

J: P-Prosecutor Godot, this isn't the time.

God: Okay, thanks.

God: They just finished removingall the locks from the Sacred Cavern.

PW: Really? How's Maya?

God: There found one woman in the cave.

God: It was the accused, Sister Iris.

PW: Then what about Maya?

God: There was no one else found inside the Sacred Cavern.

PW: No...

DH: I just told you. She drowned.

DH: She's dead.

DH: The plan was a grand success!

DH: Victory is mine!

DH: You get it now, don't you?

Bai: There's nowhere else Maya Fey could possibly be hiding!

God: Trite, have you ever heard this one before?

God: "Once you eliminate the impossible,

God: whatever remains must be the one real truth."

PW: One real truth?

PW: Yeah, Maya has been missing since that night.

PW: But if she's not in Hazakura Temple,the Inner Temple,

PW: or in the bottom of that river,

PW: that leaves...

PW: I see! There's still one other place!

PW: Dahlia...

PW: I'd forgotten all about one place.

PW: One last place that Maya could still be...

DH: Resorting to bluffing now, are we?

DH: Where else could she be?

PW: Let me ask you. At this very moment,

PW: who is channeling you?

DH: That's obvious!

DH: It's Pearl,that pathetic little sniveling runt!

PW: It's not Pearls.

PW: She's right here in the courtroom,watching the trial.

DH: Huh? Then who...

PW: There's only one possibility left.

PW: It must be Maya Fey!

DH: What?!

PW: After Maya realized what was going on,

PW: she deliberately channeled you...

PW: to protect herself from you.

DH: No...

PW: Yes! Maya's hiding place was none other than you!

J: Order! Order!

DH: I don't believe you.

DH: A stupid little softie could never come up with a plan like that!

DH: Who could have ever given hersuch a brilliant idea?!

PW: Well...

Mia: Well...

Mia: It was me, of course.

PW: Mia!

DH: Mia Fey!

Mia: It's been a long time, Dahlia Hawthorne.

God: So it was you.

Mia: Yes.

God: You're something else.

DH: Why are you here?!

Mia: Dahlia, you backed Maya into a cornerin the Inner Temple that night.

Mia: But right at the last moment, you lost consciousness?

DH: Yeah! I was stabbed!

DH: Maya stabbed me!

Mia: But she also lost consciousness at the same time as you.

PW: In other words, there was someone else there who stabbed Dahlia Hawthorne.

Mia: When Maya came to,she was in the training hall.

Mia: She wrote a memo about what was going on and channeled me.

Mia: She asked me what I thought she should do.

DH: She did that? I can't believe it!

Mia: I didn't have all the details.

Mia: But one thing was perfectly clear.

PW: And that was?

Mia: I knew that you couldn't be allowed to wander free.

Mia: I wrote down two things that Maya had to do.

Mia: Channel Dahlia Hawthorne at once,

Mia: and lock herself in the Sacred Cavern until help arrived.

PW: So it was Maya who put that trick lock on the door?

Mia: If she didn't hurry,Dahlia would've been channeled by Pearl.

Mia: And if that had happened...

God: ...this devil would've m*rder*d Maya Fey,

God: using the body of a little girl.

DH: Impossible! How could I...

PW: Why not just admit it? Your little planwas nothing but a big failure.

Mia: Yes. Another failure to addto the pile of shame.

DH: "Another"?

PW: Think about it.

PW: None of your past crimes were ever successful.

PW: You faked a kidnapping ten years ago,

PW: tried to k*ll me,

PW: wound up k*lling someone else, and were sentenced to death.

PW: It's one stupid move after another with you.It's not even funny anymore.

DH: Shut up!

PW: And now this.You've messed up again, thanks to Mia.

PW: You let Maya escape, even though she was right there in front of you.

DH: Mia Fey! If only... If only you weren't in my way...

Mia: Exactly. Do you finally understand?

Mia: You will never defeat me.

DH: What did you say?

Mia: Never in your life—no,not even in death will you ever beat me!

Mia: As long as I'm around, you'll continue toembarrass yourself for all of eternity!

PW: You said it's impossible to punish the dead.

PW: Then you said, "Even when the body dies, the spirit lives on forever."

Mia: And that's exactly the punishment you'll never escape form.

Mia: For all of eternity, you'll remain Dahlia Hawthorne.

Mia: A miserable, pathetic, weak creature who can never win at anything.

Mia: And for you, there is no escape from that.

Mia: The day you were ex*cuted,your narrow bridge to freedom burned down!

DH: You're wrong! It can't be...

DH: How could I lose to the likes to you?

PW: But that doesn't matter anymore.

PW: Anyway...

PW: Get out of Maya's body right now!

DH: I'm not ready to go!

Maya: Nick? Sis?

PW: Welcome back, Maya.

J: Now, then...

J: I assume you are the real Sister Iris?

Iris: Yes.

J: I must say you and your twin sisterare indeed identical.

J: Very well! I shall now hand down the verdict!

Sign: Objection!

God: Objection!

God: You're a little too fast with that gavel.It's not a good look.

J: Wh-What do you mean?

Mia: This trial isn't over yet.

God: You can't just get rid of an evil spiritand pat yourself on the back.

God: Misty Fey, Master of the Kurain,actually died.

God: But we still don't know who did it.

J: B-But this court isn't prepared for further deliberation.

God: The prosecution makes its final summons.

God: This one will clear up the whole mystery.

God: The mystery of, "Who k*lled Misty Fey?"

Mia: Are you sure about this, Mr. Prosecutor?

God: Of course I am, Madame Attorney.

Default - italics: ,Mia?

J: Very well, then. Who is this final witness?

God: Isn't it obvious?

God: The very person who saw her mother k*lled in front of her eyes.

PW: Maya?

PW: No way! She can't testify after what she's just been through!

God: We need to find the truth!

J: Very well.

J: The court will take a brief recess.

J: Once the witness is ready,we will proceed with the trial!

God: Listen, Trite. I'm just going toput this out there.

God: I don't think much of you.

God: It's always the same with you.

God: You squeak by without evena faint understanding of the case.

God: And some beautiful woman always comesdashing at the last minute to save you.

God: You haven't earned the right to call yourself an attorney!

God: This time, you're going to have to do this by yourself.

Sign: Defendant Lobby

Iris: I'm sorry to have worried you.

PW: I'm glad you're all right.

PW: But we're short on time.Tell me about the night of the m*rder.

Iris: That night, after I rang the bell for lights out,

Iris: I got a phone call at around : PM.

Iris: I was asked to come to the Inner Temple at once.

PW: A phone call?

Iris: I got on the snowmobile and headed there.

Iris: But I couldn't get to the Inner Temple.

PW: Because of the lightning strikethat hit Dusky Bridge?

Iris: Yes.

Iris: I received Elise's body as instructed and returned to Hazakura Temple.

PW: And when you were camouflaging the body in the courtyard,

PW: Sister Bikini saw you?

PW: Iris, please tell me!

PW: Who called you and told you to move the body?

PW: That person is the real k*ller!

Iris: I'm terribly sorry!

Iris: I can't do it... I can't say who did it!

Bai: Defendant, the judge is calling for you.

Iris: Um, Mr. Wright, I...

Bai: Hurry up, defendant.

Mia: Wright...

PW: Mia!

PW: H-How's Maya? How is she feeling?

Mia: Physically, there's no need to worry.

Mia: But emotionally,she's been hurt very badly by this.

PW: Did she learn that Elise was her mother?

Mia: Yes. I went to the medical office and told her everything I knew.

PW: I see.

Mia: Maya's a very strong girl.

Mia: I know she can take it... all of it.

PW: All of it? What do you mean?

Mia: I want you to figure that answer out by yourself.

Mia: This really will be the final battle.

PW: Just who really k*lled Misty Fey?

PW: It happened inthe Inner Temple's garden that night.

PW: It's hard to believe the killerwas there by accident.

PW: Which means they knew of the planfrom the very beginning.

PW: One more thing.

PW: The victim was movedacross the burning bridge by a pendulum.

PW: In other words,the k*ller couldn't cross the bridge.

PW: The k*ller was someone who wasn't onthe Hazakura Temple side the following day.

Bai: The trial is resuming.

Bai: The defense is to return to the courtroom.

PW: Got it.

Mia: That's as much help as I can give you.

PW: Mia...

Mia: The rest of the battle is yours to win or lose.

PW: I've got it. Thank you, Mia.

PW: It's almost time tobring this case to an end.

PW: What exactly did Maya see?

PW: And who was it thatactually k*lled Misty Fey?

PW: I have to prove it all.

PW: Me, all by myself.

J: Before we restart,I have something to announce.

PW: Announce?

J: Two weapons were presented as evidence earlier.

J: The bloodstains on both were analyzed,

J: and the conclusion is that the sword in the staff was the real m*rder weapon.

PW: What about the bloodstain on the dagger?

J: At the very least, it wasn't the victim's.

J: Bring in the witness!

PW: Maya...

Maya: Nick!

Sign: Ace Attorney

PW: Objection!

PW: We've come this far!

PW: Who really k*lled Maya's mother?

PW: The moment when it's all made clear draws closer.

PW: Maya takes the witness stand,

PW: the harsh, painful truth comes to light,

PW: and loud weeping echoes aroundthe courtroom at the end of a long trial.

PW: Find the contradictions!
