\u201cFirst Rusty, now our magic users!\u201d I grumbled on the last day of the trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI thought Elkrandek was supposed to be better than that!\u201d griped Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is the last day of the trial,\u201d replied Edgeworth. \u201cWe need to press on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe trial\u2019s about to begin,\u201d called the Bailiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHere we go,\u201d I muttered. We entered the courtroom to hear the chatter of the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll rise for the Honorable Judge Legowltor!\u201d called the Bailiff as Legowltor entered the courtroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPlease, be seated,\u201d he directed. As we sat, he banged the gavel. \u201cCourt will now reconvene for the trial of the Experimental Portal Operator. This WILL be the last day as we need answers NOW.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Prosecution is ready, Your Honor,\u201d declared Edgeworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Defense is ready, Your Honor,\u201d answered Elkrandek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Prosecution will give their opening statement,\u201d directed Legowltor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe all remember what caused a stir yesterday,\u201d began Edgeworth. \u201cThe Defense claimed that magic had influenced the Defendant over time. The Prosecution is more than willing to disprove that theory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDefense, your rebuttal?\u201d requested Legowltor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour Honor, we have examined the Defendant,\u201d answered Elkrandek. \u201cIt looks like there was a crack in his power source\u2019s shielding. Even if the Prosecution can prove that the F.N.S\u2019 magic users were as responsible as they claim, that still doesn\u2019t prove that magic didn\u2019t affect my client!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cObjection!\u201d called Edgeworth. \u201cYour Honor, there IS a way to disprove the Defense\u2019s theory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, this I gotta hear,\u201d grumbled Elkrandek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve examined all of Vorton and tested every member for stray magic,\u201d continued Edgeworth. \u201cOne of the officers during the examination mentioned the crack in X-PO\u2019s power source shielding, confusing Ms. Saunders and a Mr. Lukas Ackermann as they were being examined.\u201d Elkrandek arched an eyebrow. \u201cAfter obtaining a warrant from the police, the two gave us the Defendant\u2019s examination records. They were verified, so we can easily confirm this is true. The most recent record was a few minutes after Ms. Saunders\u2019 team returned from retrieving the Source of Pestilence. The Prosecution can assure this court that the Defendant had no crack in his shielding during that examination! Therefore, there is no possible way that magic has affected the Defendant!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cObjection!\u201d called Elkrandek. \u201cYour Honor, my client has told me otherwise and gave me a copy of those records!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen they must be forged by your client to cover his tracks!\u201d argued Edgeworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe copy my client has given me was verified by the police, just like the Prosecution\u2019s copy!\u201d countered Elkrandek. \u201cIt was deemed correct!\u201d That caused a stir, us witnesses added to the chatter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cORDER! ORDER IN THE COURT!\u201d bellowed Legowltor as he banged his gavel. \u201cHow can both copies be correct?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour Honor, the Prosecution requests that both copies be examined!\u201d called Edgeworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Defense has no objections to that! I want to find out myself! I hope the records are given maximum scrutiny!\u201d agreed Elkrandek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf I recollect,\u201d mused Legowltor, \u201cthat will take some time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPlenty of time for us to hear the last Witnesses and the Defendant,\u201d replied Edgeworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVery well,\u201d affirmed Legowltor. \u201cBailiff, give both records to the investigators at once! Maximum scrutiny!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt once, Your Honor!\u201d replied the Bailiff as he hurried off with both records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow, while that\u2019s going on,\u201d rumbled Legowltor, \u201cwe shall hear from the last Witnesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe shall start with the first ally the F.N.S has made,\u201d began Edgeworth. Hongo took the stand. \u201cState your name and occupation for the Court Record.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTakeshi Hongo,\u201d introduced Hongo. \u201cI am a hero that fights against Shocker as the first Kamen Rider.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWould you please tell the Court what your relationship with the Defendant was like?\u201d asked Edgeworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt began much like Gandalf and Batman\u2019s,\u201d testified Hongo. \u201cThe F.N.S appeared as one of my friends was kidnapped by Vortech. Although, in my case, it was through his agent at the time; Adachi Hiro, a former member of Shocker, now head of the multiversal terrorist organization, Shocker Rift. I was chosen to aid the F.N.S in their fight against Vortech, but I was never told about how dangerous Vortech was. When it finally came to light what X-PO was trying to do, well, we all saw what happened on the first day. I will admit, I allowed my pride to get in the way during the start of the Vortech Wars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour witness,\u201d directed Edgeworth to Elkrandek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTakeshi-san,\u201d began Elkrandek, \u201cyou said that you have allowed your pride to get in the way during the start of the Vortech Wars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI did,\u201d confirmed Hongo. \u201cMuch like Megumi, I didn\u2019t tell my allies why my friend was important to me. You see, he\u2019s the second Kamen Rider, altered by Shocker in the same manner as me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd X-PO did not display any signs of chronic manipulation?\u201d asked Edgeworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cObjection!\u201d Elkrandek shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow what?!\u201d groaned Edgeworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour Honor, it is clear to me,\u201d answered Elkrandek, \u201cthat the Prosecution is trying to lead the Witness!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cObjection sustained,\u201d replied Legowltor. \u201cMr. Edgeworth, this IS Elkrandek\u2019s cross-examination period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVery well,\u201d sighed Edgeworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTakeshi-san, when you were picked up by X-PO to fight against Vortech,\u201d inquired Elkrandek, \u201cwere you aware that X-PO was trying to save the multiverse?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe all were,\u201d replied Hongo, \u201cbut I saw no evidence that he was a manipulator!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you saw no evidence, then why this shameless attack on my client\u2019s good name?!\u201d demanded Elkrandek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHardly shameless if there\u2019s been evidence that he\u2019s been manipulating us these past few days!\u201d shouted Hongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPerhaps in your eyes, but not in the eyes of…!\u201d replied Elkrandek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cObjection!\u201d called Edgeworth. \u201cYour Honor, the Defense is trying to provoke an emotional reaction from the Witness! It is an attempt to influence an intelligent, broad-minded, and most intellectual jury!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cObjection sustained,\u201d replied Legowltor. \u201cMr. Elkrandek, provoking emotional reactions is not a welcome action in these proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI apologize,\u201d answered Elkrandek. \u201cNo further questions, Your Honor.\u201d Hongo sat back down with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour Honor, I would like to call a woman that has more than enough reason to base a verdict on the Defendant,\u201d declared Edgeworth. That was Wyldstyle\u2019s cue. She took the Stand. \u201cYour name and occupation for the Court Record,\u201d he directed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWyldstyle,\u201d she introduced. \u201cMaster Builder and teacher at the new Master Builder Academy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA Master Builder?\u201d asked Legowltor. \u201cIt is said you can create anything out of anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWould the Court mind a demonstration?\u201d offered Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy all means,\u201d replied Legowltor. Wyldstyle then used the Witness Stand, the gavel, and the Prosecutor and Defense\u2019s respective benches to make a mini-gun like the Heavy\u2019s! \u201cOkay, that is quite the demonstration,\u201d mused Legowltor. \u201cNow, one simple request.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, Your Honor?\u201d asked Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGive me my gavel back!\u201d hissed Legowltor. \u201cIn fact, put all of the materials back!\u201d Wyldstyle did so and grinned nervously. \u201cAll right, perhaps we can continue,\u201d muttered Legowltor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMs. Wyldstyle,\u201d requested Edgeworth, \u201ckindly tell us your relationship with the Defendant.\u201d Testimony time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo be honest,\u201d answered Wyldstyle, \u201cthere\u2019s not much to tell. I never really trusted him. The way he held a snarky attitude over us, it kind of put me off of interacting with him. I thought, as the years went by, that was just his way of showing friendship. After what I\u2019ve heard before today, though, I can\u2019t say as I see him in a positive light. Why would he hide anything from us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA valid question,\u201d replied Edgeworth, \u201cone that will be answered today. Elkrandek, your Witness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMs. Wyldstyle, you asked why my client would hide anything from you,\u201d recalled Elkrandek. \u201cTell me, aren\u2019t you also guilty of hiding something? Your real name, Lucy, perhaps?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cObjection!\u201d called Edgeworth. \u201cWhat the Witness prefers to call herself has no bearing on these proceedings!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cObjection sustained,\u201d answered Legowltor. \u201cShe is known throughout the multiverse as Wyldstyle, so she will be addressed as such here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThanks, Mr. Court!\u201d cheered Wyldstyle. She instantly winced when she realized what she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c…Kindly address this Court as \u2018Your Honor\u2019!\u201d hissed Legowltor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, Your Honor!\u201d gulped Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c…No further questions,\u201d muttered Elkrandek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat leaves only one last witness,\u201d declared Edgeworth. Richard and Wyldstyle swapped places. \u201cYour name and occupation for the Court Record, please,\u201d directed Edgeworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRichard Saunders,\u201d began Richard. \u201cFreshman at After Academy and Anchorman for the Multiversal News Network.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSaunders?\u201d asked Legowltor. \u201cAre you related to Emily Saunders?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m her twin,\u201d replied Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, twins,\u201d mused Legowltor. \u201cI remember my twin brother very fondly. Thick as thieves, we were. But, then again, that has no relevance to these proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMr. Saunders,\u201d inquired Edgeworth, \u201cwhat, exactly, is your role in the F.N.S?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m third in command at the moment,\u201d answered Richard. \u201cAlthough, that may change when I marry Megumi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs being part of the Chain of Command, you must have had some interaction with the Defendant,\u201d replied Edgeworth. \u201cPlease tell the Court how these interactions went.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey usually centered around developing strategies against our enemies,\u201d testified Richard. \u201cWe would discuss defenses for Vorton, which DID help us in some measure against Shocker Rift and allowed us all to survive their siege. After the Vortech Wars, though, our contact fizzled out. There wasn\u2019t much for us to talk about since we moved to After Academy.\u201d Elkrandek arched an eyebrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour Witness,\u201d declared Edgeworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMr. Saunders,\u201d inquired Elkrandek, \u201cby your last statement, this court can assume that the F.N.S is living on campus at After Academy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis court would be right,\u201d replied Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen I think the reason has been made clear,\u201d chuckled Elkrandek. \u201cYour Honor, the Defense postulates that my client was abandoned by the F.N.S! As the Witness had proclaimed, my client\u2019s contact with the F.N.S fizzled out! If he\u2019s so valuable to you, then why did you not bring him with you to After Academy?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cObjection!\u201d called Edgeworth. \u201cYou Honor, the Defense has forgotten a certain passage from the first day of these proceedings!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat passage is that?\u201d asked Legowltor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt comes from Batman\u2019s recording,\u201d explained Edgeworth. \u201cLet me remind the Court that it has been verified and declared free of tampering. Alesandro was referring to the Defendant\u2019s reasons for doing what he did. The quote is as follows: \u2018You gathered us here with a lie from long ago! You decided to play the long game with us and waited for some grand adventure! We\u2019ve sent you numerous invitations for those things you mentioned. If you REALLY wanted to continue feeling that, then you would have accepted them!\u2019 Those last two sentences are most important! It can easily be presumed that the F.N.S had been trying to reestablish contact with the Defendant for some time before their recent adventure! The Prosecution postulates that the Defendant chose to stay on Vorton and was the culprit behind severing communications!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cObjection!\u201d called Elkrandek. \u201cYour Honor, we have no proof that the Defendant chose to remain behind! We could just as easily assume that the F.N.S imposed that loneliness onto him!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen there is only one way to settle this,\u201d declared Edgeworth. \u201cWe have yet to hear from the Defendant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAgreed!\u201d replied Elkrandek. \u201cHis testimony will close this case once and for all!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen the Defendant will take the Stand,\u201d instructed Legowltor. Richard sat down as X-PO hovered to the Stand. \u201cYour name and occupation, please,\u201d directed Legowltor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Experimental Portal Operator,\u201d introduced X-PO, \u201cbetter known as X-PO. As my full name suggests, I\u2019m the main operator of the Vorton Gateway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMr. X-PO, did you actually receive the invitations for social interaction with the F.N.S?\u201d asked Edgeworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI did, but I was too busy finding Shocker Rift to respond to them,\u201d replied X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCould you explain that?\u201d asked Elkrandek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHappily,\u201d answered X-PO. \u201cNear the end of the Vortech Wars, Shocker Rift fled Vortech\u2019s company when he gathered the Foundation Elements. We split up to cover more areas of search, since After Academy offers more in terms of multiversal travel. I am best suited for monitoring the Gateway. As per our arrangement, they would contact me and report to me if they found anything. Unfortunately, as Richard mentioned, our contact had dried up. I\u2019m still trying to fathom why.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIsolation can make a person do many odd things,\u201d mused Edgeworth. \u201cPerhaps…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cObjection!\u201d called Elkrandek. \u201cYour Honor, the Defendant just left a glaring contradiction!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c…Your own client?\u201d muttered Legowltor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy client had told me,\u201d explained Elkrandek, \u201cthat the Gateway is the most advanced form of multiversal travel, not even After Academy can boast anything more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe told us that too!\u201d I interjected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut…but he just said that After Academy offers more in terms of multiversal travel!\u201d spluttered Legowltor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy point exactly!\u201d replied Elkrandek. \u201cMr. X-PO, I trust you\u2019re not committing perjury!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf I could explain that statement,\u201d answered X-PO hotly, \u201cyou\u2019ll find that I did NOT commit perjury!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPerhaps you should,\u201d rumbled Legowltor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter Academy may have more ways in terms of passage to other universes,\u201d explained X-PO, \u201cbut none of those ways are as advanced as the Vorton Gateway. Not even the Virginia<\/em> can boast the kind of computer the Gateway has. As someone who was, quite literally, bonded to the Gateway for a time, I can easily say that nothing compares to the Gateway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHold it!\u201d called Elkrandek. \u201cWhat do you mean by being bonded to the Gateway?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAfter Vortech found me out,\u201d replied X-PO, \u201cI returned, in pieces to Vorton. I still had some control over the pieces, so I managed to attach those pieces to the Gateway seamlessly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cObjection!\u201d answered Edgeworth. \u201cSeamlessly? That is NOT what I heard from Megumi! Did the Gateway not collapse the instant the F.N.S and their allies arrived on Vorton?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat\u2019s your point with that?\u201d asked X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMegumi, kindly explain what you did the instant you arrived,\u201d directed Edgeworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAfter learning how the prototype Vortex Drivers gave us armor based on certain people,\u201d I explained, \u201cwe all got to work in rebuilding the Gateway. However, it was still a bit shaky, and I mean that in the literal sense, because the Keystones were sent to different universes. We got the Shift Keystone first from Elphaba in Oz.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI can vouch for that,\u201d replied Elphaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, in other words, not as stable as you claimed!\u201d answered Elkrandek as he pointed to X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell you can hardly find any other stable means of multiversal travel!\u201d argued X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cObjection!\u201d replied Elkrandek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow what?!\u201d snarled X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMr. X-PO, were you not the one who suggested to Vortoranii, the Queen of Vorton in its heyday, that giving the plans of the Gateway would make multiversal travel easier?\u201d asked Elkrandek. \u201cDid we not use such a minor Gateway to get here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe point still stands,\u201d countered X-PO, \u201cthat Gateway travel is more stable!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo why were you not open about things, hm?\u201d quizzed Legowltor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBecause that\u2019s what cost us Vorton, okay?!\u201d snapped X-PO. Just then, the bailiff entered the Courtroom, glaring daggers at X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou lying, cheating, spying, two-faced…!\u201d he snarled at the robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBailiff, the results, please?\u201d interjected Legowltor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m afraid Elkrandek was lied to,\u201d sighed the Bailiff. \u201cThe crack in X-PO\u2019s shielding only occurred after yesterday\u2019s proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWh…WHAAAAT?!\u201d squawked Elkrandek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMr. X-PO, you lied to your own lawyer?!\u201d boomed Legowltor. \u201cYou made him present forged evidence in my court?! That says a thing or two about your ability to trust other people!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo…you need…I mean, I…\u201d X-PO was floundering. \u201c…I…I………\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c…X-PO?\u201d I asked, a little uncomfortable at the silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c………rrrrrrrrRRRRRRAAGAAGHAAHGAAHHHH!\u201d X-PO\u2019s roar of anger and subsequent rant still haunts me to this very day. \u201cI trusted Vortoranii to keep Vorton intact and now it\u2019s just three rocks in space with life support! I trusted Vortech to be sensible with the Foundation Elements and he still gathered them! I trusted the F.N.S to keep to the mission and they got distracted by side quests! I trusted Elkrandek to get me out of this mess and he turns on me! This all proves one thing; trust is only going to get you killed in the long run! I was right when I first came online!
