So Long, My Turnabout

Summary:

“I came here, didn’t I? No point in struggling now. I’m going to cooperate.”

~

“We are doing all we can to find you, just please, stay strong.”
“I hope I can see you soon, Apollo.”

“It won’t take long until he starves, good luck on your investigation.”

-

The Wright Anything Agency was attacked, and Apollo Justice was kidnapped…
Shelly de Killer was responsible for whatever is going on, all because Dahlia Hawthorne was holding a grudge against Phoenix Wright.
Aura Blackquill, Klavier Gavin and Kay Faraday, along with others in the group chat, were the first to find out about what happened to Apollo.

An Ace Attorney fanfic based on an RP my friends and I played.

Included ships: Klapollo, WrightWorth, Blackbright and Franmaya

PLEASE READ THE TAGS BEFORE READING ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Notes:

Hello! I hope you’ve read the tags (especially the last 6 tags)

Now to clarify: in the GC/DM parts, the “#” after the (Reply to [Character]) is the number of the message that the character is replying to
Like for example, if a character is replying to another character’s 5th message in the GC/DM part, it’ll say “Character (Reply to [Character] #5):”
(Note that after the GC/DM part, it’ll reset and when the there’s another GC/DM part, the number will start over from the top)
Hope that helps <3

Now sit back, relax and enjoy the fanfic

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

It all started in the public group chat. Everyone’s in there, even those who are against others. And this is where it all began, with Dahlia Hawthorne joining the public group chat.

 


Public Group Chat



|  Dahlia Hawthorne has joined the chat.

Dahlia Hawthorne: Why hello there, lovelies! 🩷

Matt Engarde: What the fuck

Matt Engarde: Hello

|  Phoenix Wright has left the chat.

Apollo Justice: Mr. Wright???

Clay Terran: Uhhhh Mr wright????

Richard Wellington: who is this new addition?

Richard Wellington: Dahlia. What a gorgeous name! Like a flower

Aura Blackquill: I don’t know but she’s pretty

Richard Wellington: pretty as one too

Richard Wellington: thank you Aura

Richard Wellington: for agreeing

Dahlia Hawthorne (reply to Richard Wellington #1): Aw me? I’m someone unimportant!

Richard Wellington (reply to Dahlia Hawthorne #2): not to me you aren’t

Luke Atmey: Hello Dahlia!

Ron DeLite: Hello!

Kay Faraday: isn’t that 😦

Dahlia Hawthorne: My name is Dahlia Hawthorne! You all are just sooo pretty and handsome!

Matt Engarde: Uhhh

Luke Atmey: Why, so are you girl! The spotlights shine straight on you!

Richard Wellington: Dahlia honey can i speak to you, privately?

Richard Wellington (reply to Luke Atmey #2): I agree!

Dahlia Hawthorne: How sweet of you all!

Matt Engarde: Im guessing another person pheonix messes with

|  Athena Cykes has added Phoenix Wright to the group chat.

Richard Wellington (reply to Dahlia Hawthorne #4): you never answered my question ✨

Dahlia Hawthorne: … Phoenix? Oh, he’s the embodiment of misogyny!

Phoenix Wright has left the group chat.

Richard Wellington: Is that so...



All this talking about Phoenix Wright in the public group chat, and also in the DMs between Dahlia and Richard.

They seem to be calling Phoenix a misogynistic person, which seems confusing to why they’re calling him that. Dahlia has her reasons, they seemed to be thinking of cancelling Phoenix, but why?

The Wright Anything Agency defending him, that’s in fact really nice.

But then… Dahlia thought of something, she had contacted Shelly de Killer to hire him to kill Phoenix.

 

 

Dahlia Hawthorne + Shelly de Killer DM



Dahlia Hawthorne: Hello. I won’t sugar coat this, I want to hire you.

Shelly de Killer: Is that so? Well, I am certainly interested.

Dahlia Hawthorne: Ten million yen. I want Phoenix Wright gone, no matter what. Oh! And also… make sure to bring me his badge as proof, Mr Assassin.

Shelly de Killer: For you, I shall make an exception. It appears we have similar goals, I’ll spare you the real life meeting.

Dahlia Hawthorne: Very much appreciated.



And there it is, where it all started… when Shelly de Killer doxxed the Wright Anything Agency.

Everyone freaked out when Shelly leaked the address, and of course, Dahlia pretended to feel bad for the WAA.

 

 

Public Group Chat



Shelly de Killer: Good day, everyone. 126 People Park, Los Angeles CA. Tell that to Mr Wright on my regard, please.

Trucy Wright: HUHHH

Trucy Wright: WHATS HAPPENING TO DADDYYYY

Apollo Justice: 

Aura Blackquill: Wtf is that, an address?

Matt Engarde: Shelly im so grateful for your work thank you

Athena Cykes: UM??

Trucy Wright: THENA…. POLLY……

Trucy Wright: WE GOTTA HELP DADDY

Apollo Justice: OH MY GOD

Dahlia Hawthorne: Oh no! Who could’ve hired him to attack poor little Wright! I couldn’t even wish him that!!

Aura Blackquill: Hey I don't really care about whatever he did to make you mad, but if you get Athena and Trucy in danger I will cancel the HELL out of you, and also sic a robot death army on your ass 😡

Trucy Wright: DADDY NOOOOOOOOOO

Apollo Justice: CLAY, CAN YOU GO TO THE OFFICE PLEASE?

Clay Terran: don’t worry I’m on it

Aura Blackquill: Ponco, Clonco, your mission is to stand guard by their agency at all times.

Ponco: Yes Miss Aura!!!

Clonco: Affirmative Miss Aura.

Clay Terran: miss quill send em to protect Trucy

Aura Blackquill: First and foremost protect Trucy, then Athena, and I guess if you have time Wright

Ponco: Okay!!!!

Clonco: Affirmative.

Dahlia Hawthorne: Who could’ve done such a heinous crime…? I’m really scared for Feenie…

Simon Blackquill: I don't know what happened but I'm on my way to the WAA.

Clay Terran: I’ll go protect wright

Athena Cykes: OH MY GOD.??

Clay Terran: Simon stay there and protect Trucy with the robots

Luke Atmey: Damn I wanted to do it myself.... Whatever! Even then I probably wouldn't of done it! Children deserve to actually have alive parent's

Aura Blackquill: Yeah well this De Killer guy will have a heckuva hard time with killer robots guarding them

Shelly de Killer: Take this as a warning. Anyways, @Pearl Fey, the tea party?

Clay Terran: HEY YOU LEAVE PEARLY ALONE

Dahlia Hawthorne: Poor Feenie and.. and his friends!

Luke Atmey: Ugh. So annoying, I'll contact some police if needs be if you want extra protection I suppose

Dahlia Hawthorne: I hope the assassin won’t go after little ole me! How am I supposed to defend myself against him?

Aura Blackquill (reply to Shelly de Killer #2): He backed off cause he was scared of my robots guys trust

Luke Atmey: Will someone actually tell pheonix about this?

Shelly de Killer (reply to Aura Blackquill #6): I’d advise you take a look at their data.

Aura Blackquill (reply to Shelly de Killer #3): It’s normal wdym? …wait why did they bluescreen

Ponco: JDJJDIEJRIWHZYCUFBMTBUEYDHCN

Clonco: JAOEHEKNRUCUFJENEKHCUODNENE

Luke Atmey: Oh! Mr. Shelly what would you do if I paid you maybe a good amount of money to not hurt pheonix?

Aura Blackquill: WHAT'S GOING ON NOW?!

Clay Terran: MISS QUILL GET EM AWAY FROM THE AGENCY

Clay Terran: OTHERWISE…. I GOT NO CHOICE BUT TO DISMANTLE EM

Aura Blackquill: I CAN'T CONTROL THEM, THEY'VE BEEN RESET TO ATTACK INSTEAD OF DEFEND

Shelly de Killer (reply to Luke Atmey #4): I have already been paid. I am loyal to my clients.

Luke Atmey: But you will be paid even more for doing no work! I’d say that’s quite the bargain

Shelly de Killer: A billion yen, and I’ll consider it.

Luke Atmey: A BILLION?..... Im not made of that kind of money

Shelly de Killer: It is not my concern.

Luke Atmey: Damn. Well I tried guys!

Aura Blackquill: Can you at least reset my robots? 😡

Shelly de Killer: No.

Dahlia Hawthorne: Oh, please don’t hurt Feenie!

Shelly de Killer: I’d be more concerned of what will happen to me if I was you.

Dahlia Hawthorne: How… How awful…! Why threaten someone as innocent as me…?



The Wright Anything Agency is going to get attacked by Aura’s robots, thanks to Shelly de Killer.

Was Dahlia really empathizing about this situation? Of course not, she’s just pretending, she does not care about the situation.

 

 

Dahlia Hawthorne + Shelly de Killer DM



Dahlia Hawthorne: 
Perfect… Now, is it okay if you pretend to threaten me? Just so I’ll be left alone. I’ll throw it 10 thousand more.

Shelly de Killer: of course, young lady.

Dahlia Hawthorne: I want the two girls… “Trucy” and “Athena”… also gone. They get on my nerves.

Shelly de Killer: You flatter me with your trust in me, young lady… but I will charge you triple for that.

Dahlia Hawthorne: Not an issue. Just make it happen.


 

And so it begins, when the unfortunate things happened.

Right now, Klavier Gavin went to pick Apollo up from the airport and take him to his apartment.

That and the WAA are being attacked, and then the unfortunate…
