Chapter 2: Shade-on Rides On (Part two)

MYSTERY: Hammer for a Turnabout
[black screen, the following appears as a typewriter noise types it in, "Friday, 10:15 AM, Courtroom No. 3"]
[fade-in to Chaosky in a jury seat in a courtroom]
Chy: Hey. Have a seat. (Female)Shade is helping Silver get Amy Rose an innocent verdict. She's been accused of murdering Knuckles the Echidna. ...why don't you just look at the Court Record?

COURT RECORD:

General Info: Knuckles was killed in his apartment, at approximately 9:00 PM one week ago. Analysis shows he died from a blunt object to the back of the head. There was one witness-- Doctor Robotnik. One Piko-Piko Hammer was found in Knuckles' apartment next to his body.

Evidence:
Attorney Badge: Silver's attorney badge.
Autopsy Report: Died between 9:00 and 10:00 PM one week ago from blunt object to the head.
Hammer: Found next to body. Bears Amy's fingerprints.
Mysterious Oil: Scattered across victim's apartment.
Blood Trail: Path of blood shows victim was dragged fiercely from his kitchen to his living room.
Cell Phone Records: Victim was talking to Mephiles before death.

Profiles:
Silver: That's Silver. He keeps this picture for 'reference.'
Blaze: She helped Silver in his research and investigation.
Knuckles: The victim. Held a grudge against suspect.
Amy: The suspect. Held a grudge against victim.
Eggman: Witnessed the crime taking place.
Mephiles: On the cell phone talking to victim.

Also, Miles "Tails" Prower is the prosecutor. Mephiles is currently taking the witness stand. Bowser is the judge, for some reason. And, this probably won't turn up in the trial, but Knuckles' body was found face-up.

Chy: So, let's return to the trial, shall we?

["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Silver screams it]
[everyone stares at Silver]
Silver: Too much? Sorry. *a-hem* Your honor, the witness' newest testimony is a load of--
Bowser: Kiddo, if you say what I think you're gonna say, I'll have your drunk-driving butt tossed in the slammer.
Silver: Drunk-driving what now?
Bowser: Um... sorry. Carry on.
Silver: The witness claims for this "Bob Jones" character to have gotten the promotion instead of him.
Mp: Yeah.
Silver: Well, I say that it was NOT "Bob Jones" who got the promotion, but it was instead...
[the profiles screen comes up on the touch screen; the player chooses Knuckles' profile]
["TAKE THAT!!!"]
Silver: ....Knuckles the Echidna.
[the jury starts chattering; Bowser bangs his gavel]
Bowser: Silver! Do you have any support to this claim?
[three options show up on the touch screen, "Why else would he kill him?" "I have evidence!" "Oh, that's not right..."; the player chooses the first option]
Silver: I have more support, indeed, your honor. For one thing, why would someone KILL someone for no reason?
Mp: GAH! You make so many foolishly foolish claims for a foolish fool, but do you have any foolish PROOF, you fooly fool of a fool?
Silver: Oh, I have some proper proof, Mephiles. In fact, the thing about your testimony that was off was...
[three options appear on the touch screen, "the place," "the time," and, "Your behavior"; the player chooses the second option]
Silver: ...the time you arrived, of course.
Mp: The...the time I arrived? What could POSSIBLY be wrong with that!?
Bowser: He's right, buddy. He said he arrived at "exactly 9:00 PM," and the time of death was at approximately.... oh. I think I see whatcher gettin' at, dude.
Silver: I knew you would, your honor. The only way Mephiles could have arrived at Knuckles' apartment at THAT time, and have him dead, would be--
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Tails screams it]
Tails: So Amy killed Knuckles and fled in one minute, so what? It's highly possible, you know.
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as SShade screams it]
SShade: Mister Prower, you must have overlooked one CRUCIAL piece of evidence: the map of the victim's apartment.
Bowser: Now, look here, little lady. I don't recall getting a map of the victim's apartment!
SShade: Are you sure? Did you check your robe?
[Bowser checks his judge robe, and finds it]
Bowser: Oh. Heh heh...
[the map: one large rectangle is the whole apartment. The exit is on the right, and the apartment has four rooms: The Living Room is the biggest, in the center, and leads to every other room and the exit. The Kitchen is at the top left, and connects to the Living room. The Bathroom is at the bottom right, and connects to the next room: the Bedroom. The Bedroom is from the bottom left to the Bathroom, and connects to the bathroom and the Living room.]
SShade: If the killer were to kill Knuckles in the KITCHEN,
[a red circle with a "K" in it appears in the Kitchen, as well as a blue circle with a "V" in it]
SShade: ...and drag his corpse into the LIVING ROOM...
[the circles move down-right into the center of the map, or the Living room]
SShade: ...the only place left to go would be the EXIT, or the BEDROOM. And the bedroom was locked when the police got there.
Bowser: So, the killer ran out the front door?
SShade: Yes. But, if the killer did his/her job, and ran off before Mephiles got there, that would mean.... the killer did it in twenty seconds.
[DUN DUN DUUUUN!]
Mp: Um... and that's impossible... HOW?
SShade: You, yourself, should know, IF you were as close a friend of Knuckles as you say.
[Mephiles' pupils shrink once more]
Bowser: What the hell's going on here?
SShade: Your honor, Knuckles' apartment is in kind of a U-shaped road. Not a U-turn, but kind of.... a reverse mountain.
Bowser: His street goes in an up-down kind of way?
SShade: Yes. And Knuckles' apartment is at the very bottom of one of the 'down' parts. If Mephiles was coming, he would have SEEN the killer flee the scene of the crime.
[everyone stares at Mephiles]
Mp: Oh. Um.... did I forget to mention the killer?
Bowser: Busted! C'mon, buddy, you're going downtown.
Silver: (to SShade) Damn! You were great out there! Have you considered becoming my professional assistant?
SShade: If anything, I should be the attorney.
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as a deep voice screams it]
[the camera dramatically shows Silver, SShade, Bowser, and Tails' shocked faces]
[Mephiles is standing, furious, pointing his finger at SShade]
Mp: YoU tHiNk YoU hAvE wOn? *hack* Ugh. You think you have won? I'm TELLING you, I didn't kill Knuckles! I checked his apartment to share an idea with him. He was DEAD WHEN I GOT THERE. In the KITCHEN.
[Silver looks at SShade, who nods]
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Silver screams it]
Silver: There were blood stains leading from the Kitchen to the Living room, where Knuckles' dead body was fou--
Mp: (screaming) No, YoU sHuT tHe **** Up, MoRtAl!!!
[Silver shuts up, and sits down]
Mp: *deep breath* Please, allow me to finish. I get.... *shudder* ....when I'm angry.
Bowser: Um... I didn't quite catch that. What do you get when you're angry?
[Mephiles glares at him; he shuts up and sits down]
Mp: I will give one last testimony, and I will be completely honest with you. This may reveal a bit more information than I had hoped, but oh well. You wanna know if I'm honest? A demon does not distort his voice when he is calm. I want to STAY calm. So, I will tell the truth just so I don't hear more of this... BLASPHEMY!

Mephiles' Final Testimony (Everything)

That day at Burger King.... yes, Knuckles got the promotion. I was his friend, though. Not for any good reason. He was a trainee, and I figured that if I was nice to him, and encouraged him to do his best, then the boss will see that and promote me. Turns out he DIDN'T see that, and thought Knuckles was the best on his own. So, I decided to go give Knuckles a piece of my mind at 9:00 PM. I told him I wanted to "share an idea" with him on the cell phone, and hurried to his place. When I entered the apartment, he was dead in his Kitchen! The blood stains lead to the Kitchen FROM the Living Room, I swear!

Bowser: ...are you sure that was the truth?
Mp: *sigh* Yes. I swear, the body was dragged from the Living Room to the Kitchen, NOT the other way around.
Tails: So... how did the body and the blood stains MOVE?
[three options appear in the touch screen, "That wasn't the body." "That blood was paint." "Mephiles moved them!"; the player chooses option one]
Silver: .... *gasp*!
Bowser: Yes, Mister Silver? Do you have something to say?
Silver: I have one theory to this, your honor. Obviously, when Mephiles entered the room, he saw a body in the Kitchen, and
blood stains leading to it. Then, when the police got there, they saw a body in the Living Room, and blood stains leading to IT.
Bowser: Yes, yes, we just established that! Where is this going?
Silver: First, Mister Prower? When did the police find the body?
Tails: Um... the next day, at 12:03 PM (noon).
Silver: Well, my theory is that Mephiles saw a body, all right. The body wasn't dead, though. Nor was it the body of the victim, Knuckles the Echidna!
[dramatic shots of the judge, Mephiles, and Tails in shock]
Tails: That's impossible!
SShade: No, he has a valid point. From 9 until 12 the next day, quite a lot can happen.
Silver: I say that Knuckles hid in the bedroom until after Mephiles left, and when he came out, the other person just woke up. This person managed to kill Knuckles in the Living Room afterwards.
Bowser: Hmm... so, Mephiles saw the killer? Mephiles, what did this "corpse" in the Kitchen look like? This is honestly your last testimony.

Mephiles' REAL Final Testimony (The Body in the Kitchen)

Well, I didn't get too good of a look. I know it was an echidna, and it was lying face-down. These mortals all look the same to me, anyway.

Bowser: ...I don't see anything wrong with that, do you?
[everyone else is staring, pupils wide]
Bowser: What?
Tails: We're just shocked at the fact that he's immortal.
Bowser: Oh, I thought I missed something.
SShade: (to Silver) He DID miss something. You wanna point it out, or can I?
Silver: I'll do it. *a-hem*
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Silver screams it]
Silver: Your honor, I would like to point out that the victim's body was discovered face-up, NOT face-down.
[the crowd starts chattering]
[Bowser bangs his gavel]
Bowser: R-really? So...so this COULD be another person? Bailiff! Give me all the information about Knuckles the Echidna.
[ten minutes of suspense later]
Bowser: I have determined... that there are no other suspects. Amy Rose MUSTA killed him.
Silver: Wait! Can't the suspect testify?
Bowser: Sorry, pal, but NO. That'd be too stupid.
Silver: Shade, what should I do?
SShade: .....there is one more echidna.
Silver: Really?
Bowser: What? One more echidna?
Tails: That... that's not true!
SShade: Look her up.
Bowser: "Her?"
Silver: Shade, do you mean...?
SShade: Let's just see where this trial goes.
Bailiff: We have determined that there IS another echidna, your honor. A female by the name of Tikal.
Bowser: Bring her in!
[eventually, they find her, and bring her in]
Tikal: Hello. I'm Tikal. What's going on here?
Tails: Miss Tikal, you are a suspect in the murder of Knuckles the Echidna.
Tikal: What?! I barely ever even leave the Master Emerald!
Bowser: Huh? Master what-now? Can someone fill me in on the details?
Bailiff: Your honor, this lady spends her time inside a giant, mystical gem with the god of destruction, Chaos.
Bowser: Hm... I see. Neat. Well, young lady... Mephiles the Dark said he saw an echidna other than Knuckles, unconscious, in his apartment.
Tikal: What? What about all the other echid...... oh, yeah. Well, can you PROVE it was me, and not Knuckles?
Silver: ...no. No, we can't.
Tikal: There you go. Now, I would like to go back to my emerald.
[Tikal is halfway down the aisle when SShade speaks up]
SShade: We CAN prove it was you.
[Tikal stops, and slowly turns around]
Tikal: Oh, really? And you are...?
SShade: Shade the Dark chao, Ace Detective. I'm helping Silver, Ace Attorney, win this trial.
Tikal: I see. Well, how about I testify, then? We'll see if you can prove your wild claim, or if you're just another fraud.
Bowser: Wait! I'm the one to tell you what to do! ........um.... please testify, miss.

Tikal's Testimony (The Night of the Murder)

That night was just like any other, sitting around, talking to Chaos, being bored. He told me I should stop seeing that Knuckles fellow, and I told him to get a life. That's basically it; our lives are nothing but patience and boredom.

Bowser: So you and Knuckles had a relationship?
Tikal: Yeah, we'd see each other every few days, talk about goings-ons and stuff... we were just friends.
Silver: (under his breath) "Just friends," my as--
SShade: Silver.
Silver: Sorry.
Tikal: Really! This is the truth!
Tails: So, you were never at Knuckles' apartment the night of the murder, were you?
Tikal: No, not at all.
Silver: Your honor? Can she testify about one more thing?
Bowser: Depends what it is, gray-hog.
Silver: The last time she talked with the victim.
[SShade gives Silver a thumbs-up, and Bowser allows it]

Tikal's Testimony (Last Time I Met Knuckles)

He took me to that new Chaos Cola bar downtown, and we talked about upcoming events and stuff. He said he was gonna get a promotion at his workplace, and it was all thanks to his best friend. Oh, that friend of his... it was that "Mephiles" person, wasn't it? He went on and on about the things Mephiles did for him, and how nice he was. He even said that he'd try to convince the boss to give his FRIEND the promotion instead of him. He often mentioned his work when we talked. And he also talked about this girl hedgehog...... but, that doesn't matter right now.

Bowser: ....."girl hedgehog?" Do you mean.... Amy Rose?
Tikal: !!! *pupils shrink* ....uh.... y-yeah. That's it.
SShade: (to Silver) Did you see that reaction?
Silver: Yeah. This calls for a question...
["HOLD IT!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: Miss Tikal. Tell us more about this girl... Amy Rose.
Tikal: .......excuse me, but that has nothing to do with this case; that's my business.
Silver: Like HELL it has nothing to do with this case! .....sorry. Amy Rose is the accused!
Tikal: Oh! Really? Well, that changes everything! Allow me to tell you about her.

Tikal's Final Testimony (Amy Rose)

Knuckles often talks about her. It's rather obvious how he feels about her-- he has a grudge against her! He's always talking about the bad things she does, and laughs about them. He'd often trip her, or give her the wrong order-- oh, yes. I forgot to mention that she comes to his shop a lot, mostly to pull pranks on him. She's not a nice lady, and I don't like her, either.

Bowser: I see. So, the victim and the accused DID hold a grudge against each other...
SShade: (to Silver) The judge just can't see it, can he?
Silver: No, he's thick. But I can, and I'll use it against Tikal.
SShade: Make sure you don't misuse this information, Silver. Good luck.
[Tails is staring, eyes wide]
Tails: Um.........(sarcastically) yeahhhhh, sure. They have a grudge, all right. *sigh* They sure do. And I'm gonna lose this case for sure.
Bowser: Well, Miss Tikal, you've given us all the information you need to. It is now clear that Amy Rose murdered Knuckles. You can go---
[Silver takes a deep breath]
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]

Well, Silver, SShade, and Tails sure get it. Do YOU? Actually, this one's kinda obvious. BUT, the hard part.... is figuring out WHO did it, HOW, and WHY. Also, if you want, you can fill in all the "framings." Like, "he framed her how and why," and stuff. Account for the oil splattered everywhere, the Piko Piko hammer, the blood stains, the two bodies, EVERYTHING. Good luck!
