Junithena Ace Attorney "Duals Destinies"

"Day 2 Of Court"

as soona s they got into the lobby, Athena was ecstatic

'That was so exciting, Boss! We did it! True to form, you managed to completely pull it off!!'

phoenix blushed a very faint tint of red as he nervously played with his locket, Woods then came up to him with a big smile

'...Thank you for everything you're doing'

phoenix gently patted her arm

'hey don't worry about it, You did great, Ms. Woods. You really stuck it out'

she beamed at his encouraging words, athena quickly pulled her into a hug

'And you got really brave at the end, just when we needed you most, Junie! Thanks to you, we were able to turn things around!'

'Well, you were the one who gave me that courage, Thena'

athena blushed a bashful red as she played with her hair

'Really? Heh heh. Thanks. So, be honest -- was I any help at all?'

she asked nervously, phoenix rolled his eyes

'you were the reason why we managed to get this fair, idiot, if course you were help'

athena beamed proudly at herself

'That's good to hear! I may still have a lot to learn, but you can bet I'm going to give it my all! I'll be so good that, one day, you'll call me your partner!'

he shrugged

'probably'

she expression suddenly changed

Hey, where's Apollo, anyway?

phoenix looked around and grumbled mentally in his head

"that idiot better have rested like i told him too"

when he had gotten the call from apollo, he spent a good 10 minutes chewing his ear off about how he shouldn't have taken the case when he's in such condition and that he should've stayed home to rest, after that he tried to offer apollo a rid home which he yet resisting, he finally relented when apollo promised him he would take it easy  

'Oh, I know! Maybe he's still in Courtroom No. 4...When I came out to the lobby to rest, I told Apollo about Bum Rap Rhiny... I told him I dropped Rhiny in the courtroom as I was trying to escape before the blast. And then... ...Apollo said he had an idea where Rhiny might be, so we went to take a look together.'

phoenix's eyes widen 

"THAT LYING SON OF BITCH TOLD ME HE WAS TAKING IT EASY!!"

'Huh. I guess Apollo can be pretty nice when he wants to be'

'and annoying!'

phoenix grumbled out, crossing his arms, he sighed, he'll focus on that later

'So you went looking for Rhiny together before you were called back into Courtroom No. 5?'

'Yes... I'd had some time to rest so I was able to go and look for him. But then they called me into Courtroom No. 5 to testify. Apollo insisted on staying there, though...I think Apollo might have figured something out...'

phoenix nodded, knowing apollo, he probably did

'He told me, "I'm going to look for evidence to clear your name, Juniper."

'Anyway, we'd better go and get him'

he nodded as they went to go and get him, soon as the athena called out for him, then stopped at what she saw and screamed in terror,as juniper stared in horror phoenix immediately ran over, he felt his heart drop at what he saw, apollo, out cold, with a mig rock with blood in it
