Turnabout Retribution

Trial: Final Day
---------------------------------------------------------

"The only one Ly8ng here...isaaa..isaaa....you...Diego..." Lyla stated once she was put on the witness stand with her head down, raising to reveal she was really being controlled by Dahlia who she had channeled the night of the murder in Pearl's stead, "You robbed me of my one chance to use this...bitch's body for revenge!! To finally prove I still had use and that my death wasn't a waste!!" Dahlia roared as she told the court everything she experienced while in control of Lyla's body the night of the murder, "It was that visor wearing bastard who stabbed me before I-i could carry put my plan...he ruined everything!!!" She screeched while telling the court, "Maya and Pearl...not even Misty could've channeled me that fast...it was all Lyla who prevented me from entering that brat's body and murdering my pathetic coward of an aunt!!"

"Godot...no....Diego...why would you do this?" Mia asked after Pearl had channeled her during the trial, "Why would you harm the two people you promised me you would cherish for me as friends?!" He remained silent for a moment, "Because I wanted to protect Maya and Pearl from Morgan...I wanted to make sure your only blood relatives who you cared for lived...even at the cost of Lyla and Misty's life." He threw his coffee on the floor in front of his stand, "I did it for you!!" Dahlia in Lyla's body had laughed hysterically and admitted, "I may have lost every time but this time...she left Lyla's body as said woman screamed, "..I'm not ready to go..."

Lyla collapsed shortly after Dahlia finally left her body and was taken to intensive care with Maya who had been controlled by her mother's spirit during the trial, waking up right before it ended to say, "OBJECTION!!" She slammed her hands down despite looking ill from the sudden expelling of a spirit she was being controlled by, "There's still the matter of the decisive proof that proves Dahlia's claims about Godot stabbing her in my body were true!!"

"On the night of the murder, you planned to kill whoever intercepted Dahlia's spirit before Pearls could channel her, and when it happened to be me...you couldn't kill me and decided to injure me instead." She showed the evidence that essentially condemned Godot to his fate in front of Mia, "I can't say that I appreciate the kindness you did to me as a friend in this case...but I hope you reflect on it, Diego Armando." She nearly fell over as the judge had him arrested along with Iris for their separate charges then coughed up blood, "...ah...that's not...good..."

*SLUMP*!!

After fainting, Phoenix caught her and had was subject to worry from all her friends when she regained consciousness in the lobby, "Hmm? What happened?" Phoenix said nothing and against all odds on him, kissed Lyla gently as she turned even more red than he had been with his fever, "...I...who...wha....huh?...." she stammered as Mia chuckled, "I knew you'd put moves on her eventually Wright." Phoenix turned red this time as everyone chuckled about the two awkward people, until Gumshoe arrived and was whipped by Franzi who was told they be visiting Maggey at Tres Bien despite Armstrong being a terrible cook.

"I'm going to die tonight...aren't I." Lyla remarked about Armstrong's cooking as Bikini showed them a picture of Lyla, Maya, Anne, and Mia as children...gluing the Fey and Nakagawa urns back together after Maya had broken it trying to impress a susceptible toddler Anne. "Wahh!! Give me that!!" Lyla's face turned even more red with Maya and Anne who kept trying to nab the photo from their friends, "It's not funny!!"
