WrightWorth: Ace Attorney Bridge To The Turnabout "A Phoenix Rises From Pain"

"....The Phoenix Comes Back...."

'..are you ready?'

miles asked, ...phoenix sighed as he stared down at his black suite, playing with his locket, ..he didn't know how to feel, ..one hand, he didn't want to be here, he wanted to be back at the mountains, to be by maya's side in that cell as he did everyone he could to break those locks, ...but on the other hand, ...he had to go to court, ...he knew iris was innocent, ..and he knew no other attorney could do the job like he could, ..but he was terrified to go back in their, ....he was scared!!

'..i-i don't know, ..i-i'm scared but, ..i-i don't want to give up either...'

he admitted, nervously playing with his fingers as he pulled down his sleeves, he suddenly felt a warm pair of arms wrap around his waist, he blushed a tint red at the sudden gesture

'..if anything happens, anything, i'll be right their in the gallery, ...'

he reassured him, phoenix sighed as he held onto his partners arms, leaning back against his chest, ...now or all he guessed

in the distract lobby, phoenix was sitting on the couch, playing with his locket, pearl begged him not to make him to daycare, because she wanted to see that mystic maya was okay, he allowed it, miles would be to cover up her ears when he would swear in court

'...If you're wondering about Iris, she's in the prosecutor's lobby'

phoenix shot his head up at the voice, miles sat down next to him on the couch to provide him comfort and company

'..why?'

'She's going over today's testimony with the prosecutor as we speak'

phoenix eyes widen a little at that, but it wasn't to much of a surprise

'.. Iris is testifying as a witness for that fucker?'

miles nodded

'The prosecutor is squeezing her for a confession. ...Or so I heard, ...'

'how's prodigy'

phoenix asked, he was honestly worried about her too, all up their in the cold mountains, ...but, she at least had a weapon on her to defend herself, miles could see the worry in his eyes as he reassured him

'She's fine, franziska has been out there all night, trying to remove those trick locks. With the head nun's assistance, naturally. We estimate that the last of the locks should be taken care of in about three hours. I hope everything continues to go smoothly and we receive some good news soon'

'...good'

phoenix muttered, miles then patted his back

'..you can do this..'

'...thanks miles'

'anytime phoenix, ..take care of yourself'

he kissed his cheek before he went into the courthouse, leaving him alone to think, ..phoenix sighed as he looked back down at his locket, ..then looked at the time on the clock, ..it was almost time to enter inside 

he got up from the couch, but as he walked up to the doors, ...panic hit him like a truck, ..he panted a bit as flashbacks of AL-9 filled his mind, his whole being started to shake and tremble

"your gonna fail!!, just give up already!!, you can't do anything right!!, you failed everyone in your life"
"come now mistake~, TIME TO GET PUNISHED FOR BEING A SNTICH!!"
"aww pretty face~, don't resit me~, enjoy me!!~"

phoenix shook again as he gripped onto his shaking arm, ...but then, while he was doing that, ..he saw his locket, ..and picked it up into his hands

"..you can do this"
"you saved me nick"
"you didn't fail anyone"

"take a deep breathe and re-focus, ..violet needs you"

phoenix did as the thought told as he took in a very deep breathe, ..he dropped his locket back to his place, ..his hands reached for the doorknobs, twisted it to the left, ..then slowly, he finally opened up the door, and walked inside
