Start from the beginning
                                    

'Mr. Justice!'

the baillif suddenly called out, gaining everyone's attention

'The trial is about to start, sir. Please proceed to the courtroom'

apollo panted as get tried to get up, but ended up falling back into his knees. athena gently held him in his place

'apollo no sit down'

he shook his head

'I... I have to... defend Juniper!'

he muttered, athena gave him a look

'no your not, not in this condition!!,  give me all the evidence for the case'

Apollo panted as he looked up at her, athena gaze darted to the baillif, speaking in her phoenix wright voice

'Bailiff'

he flinched

'Y-Yes, Miss?'

'The defense would like to submit a substitution of attorney petition, me!'

apollo eyes widen, athena turned her gaze back onto apollo

'You just concentrate on getting better. I'll defend Junie!'

Apollo looked a bit skeptical

'All by yourself?! Athena,?, ...stop for a sec and think about what you're saying! You've never once taken a case on alone before, right?!'

he said, athena simply shook her head

'¡No hay problema! I can handle it!, But I guess it's really up to you, Junie. Would you be okay with me taking over?'

junie looked at her for a moment, but then smiled

'I believe in you, Thena, and that's enough for me'

athena felt her heart flutter as wadget turned green, from the corner of her eyes, she noticed apollo worried expression, she smiled at him as she whispered

'You're worried for me, aren't you? To be honest, I'm pretty nervous, too. I think my heart might just burst out of my chest! But you're in no shape to stand at the bench now. So you'll just have to leave it to me!'

Apollo went into deep thought, but then nodded

'............ ...All right. I can see your mind's made up anyway. I hate it that I can't be there... but I know you'll give your utmost to defend Juniper!'

'You bet I will! Rest assured of that!'



athena took in a deep breathe as she nervously entered the courthouse

"..it's okay, Mr wright was able to be in here, you can do it too!!"

when she had made it to her bench, the judge banged down his gavel

'Court is now in session for the trial of Juniper Woods'

Athena stood tall and broad, something that Mr wright had said to her, "stand tall and confident, and present yourself as a professional, and don't take shit from anyone or anything"

'Th-The defense is ready, Your Honor'

'The prosecution is also ready'

he then suddenly got a smug expression on his face, looking at his opponent 

'Your Honor. Uh-huh... And what is the meaning of this? I was under the impression that Mr. Red Monkey would be my opponent today'

the judge shook his head at him
