EDIT 9-12-2010:

*Added Chapter 1 of A Wonderful Life

*To cut down on the Wall-O-Text Factor, I put the Author Notes for my Fanfics in Spoiler Tags. Aren't I nice? I still expect you to check 'em out periodically for changes, etc.

What up, y'all?

Ok, since I've left Fanfiction.net (because they ruined the format of ALL my Fanfics posted prior to last month) I have been posting my work on my own forums as well as via Live Journal (send me a PM if you have LJ, Facebook and/or Twitter and wanna add me). Of course I write mostly non-PW but I do have a PW fanfic I am working on right now. Since most PW Fans I know are also Trauma Center Fans I'll throw in my TC Fanfic as well in part because there is some X-Over involved.

What Kind of Reviews I'd Prefer


1. Info I can use to improve my writing and storytelling.

2. More than just "Good", "Meh" or "Joke".

3. Grammar or Puncuation Mistakes you may have noticed.

4. Self-Insert Requests: Fellow Authors ONLY, message me for details.

5. Honesty (Seriously.)



And Now, on to the Fanfic Turnabout Attorneys:

Spoiler: Author's Notes: UPDATED 9-12-2010
Turnabout Attorneys

By: Brendan Aurabolt (my Author name @ FF.net)

Category: Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice

Rated: T

Overview (See the last paragraph before the prologue for an important note): Takes place a year after AJ. When Phoenix Wright walks into the Wright & Co. Talent Agency and Law Offices with one Iris Hawthorne, Trucy and Apollo at last learn of the past of the "Reborn Attorney". Things get complicated when startling news from Ema, Gumshoe and a few old friends come to his attention: Judith von Karma, the young daughter of Miles Edgeworth and Franziska von Karma has been murdered. The person accused of killing her...is Franziska herself!

Edgeworth, who found their daughter's body refuses to be the prosecutor in charge of the case so that would automatically mean Klavier takes the case...or does it? Klavier's brother Kristoph is killed in prison by Steven Hawthorne, Morgan Fey's ex-husband and father of Pearl Fey, Iris and Dahlia Fey. Due to the conflict of interest Ema's sister Lana is pulled out of "retirement" to handle the Edgeworth/von Karma Case while Klavier oversees the Gavin/Hawthorne case.

This turn of events forces Phoenix, Trucy and Apollo to take a trip to Kurain Village, where they are in for more surprises. Maya has an eight year-old son named "Nick Wright", but his father can't be Phoenix Wright...right? Maya's not telling and Pearl insists he is. Also living with the Feys is Thalassa Gramarye, who just so happens to be Apollo and Trucy's mother. Only Phoenix and the Feys know this of course, but how long will it stay that way?

Now that everyone has been reunited, the Attorneys and Prosecutors can focus on the cases themselves. At Edgeworth's request, Apollo will be defending Franziska. Wright's past with the Hawthornes and the Gavins prevents him from getting involved, so who's going to represent the defendant? Luckily, Klavier knows an attorney willing to take the case, but not all is as it seems. What exactly does a de Killer Assassin have to do with these cases? Mark Anthony Toss, Hannah Patterson and Henry Gale from the Serene Adventure series guest stars. Derek Stiles and Angie Thompson from Trauma Center also make a guest appearance.

Author Notes: That is quite possibly the longest summary I've written PERIOD. I hope I didn't give too much away but the story's not as complicated as I made it look. This...you could look at it as cases 1-4, 2-4, 3-5 and 4-4 combined. It's got elements of all four cases in it. The reasons for Angie and Derek should be...self-explanatory. In the Serene Adventure series, Mark Anthony is a Defense Attorney. He's the only person I'm sharing any info about beforehand. I think it'd be more fun if you learned what role Henry and Hannah play the old-fashioned way. Ok that's enough stalling on my part. Read On!

One other thing: at the time I started writing this AAI didn't exist. Starting in Chaptet 4 (Writing now) I've begun adding stuff revealed in that game. I like to be thorough, lol!


Spoiler: Prologue
---

Prologue: Death's Embrace

---

March 13
Los Angeles Prison
8:00PM (PST)



The once-Defense Attorney looked around the mess hall awkwardly. Thanks in no small part to his friend turned foe turned friend again Phoenix Wright, he'd been granted a cell of his own. That didn't necessarily mean he could walk amongst the rest of the prison population unmolested. Especially not recently.

Ever since his last appearance in court, he'd been the subject of ridicule and threats against his life by many inmates. Until the day he'd been summoned to court to testify, he could rest assured he'd defied the law and committed the perfect crime. Much to his surprise, his plans were not only exposed but the mole was acquitted thanks to the new Jurist System.

It was, in a way Phoenix Wright's method of punishing him; not revenge for getting him disbarred but rather punishment for believing he was untouchable. Even after he'd lost his badge Wright had been determined to uncover the truth. It wasn't until after Vera Misam's acquittal the elder Gavin fully understood what a mistake it was to believe the Ace Attorney could be so easily beaten.

"Hey, Gavin!" Kristoph turned to see a pair of prison guards running over to him. They both had a flustered expression on their faces. "Your attorney is here to see you. He's waiting back in your cell."

"Thank you, gentlemen." Kristoph replied with a nod. He understood their expressions when they came before him. His attorney, Mark Anthony Toss was young but gifted. He had a reputation of getting all legal matters having to do with him settled before the scheduled court date. When he couldn't, he always got his clients an acquittal on the first day. He had asked him to come to discuss getting his sentence reduced from death to life in prison.

As Kristoph walked into his cell the first thing he noticed was the light bulbs were missing. No, they weren't missing; they were broken, the shards sprinkled on the ground. He glanced up to see if the video camera recording the cell was on but to his surprise, it was turned off. "Sorry about the mess." his guest said as he turned around. "If I didn't tell the guards I was your attorney, well...they wouldn't just let me come and see you, yes?"

"Who hell are you?" Kristoph demanded as he walked over to the unknown visitor. He stopped when he saw the figure's face. Immediately, he knew. "So that's how it is, huh...?!" The sound of one of the iron gates closing prevented the name of the assailant from being heard by anyone who happened to be nearby.

With an almost fluid motion the assailant rose, pulled a pistol out of of their vest and shot Kristoph between the eyes before returning it to its holster. "It's nothing personal, Mr. Gavin." the assassin said as he stepped over his target's body and walked out of the cell. "Just business." It would be several minutes later before prison guards discovered Kristoph's body. Of course, the first person notified was his brother Klavier. Naturally, Klavier didn't take the news well at all.



March 13
Edgeworth-von Karma Residence
9:00PM



Miles Edgeworth pulled his car into the driveway of the home he shared with Franziska von Karma and their daughter Judith. After that last trial involving the Feys, the two fell in love. Two years later they had a daughter and now Franziska was pregnant with their second child. Despite being a mother Franziska kept her job as a prosecutor. They took turns looking after Judith and made it a rule to never take a case each at the same time if it meant Judith wouldn't have someone to look after her.

The few times they were forced to work at the same time they'd been lucky Dick and Maggey Gumshoe were available to watch her. At the moment, neither of them had a case to work on. In fact, only recently had they been able to get in touch with Phoenix Wright since he'd been disbarred eight years ago. Although Wright was reinstated after that case last year, fate seemed to prevent either of them from facing him in court.

Edgeworth walked up to the front door in time to hear a gunshot from within the house. He knew Franziska and Judith were both home and immediately burst into the house. He also knew Franziska owned a gun and knew how to use it. "Franziska! Judith!" he exclaimed as he ran about the house. When he came to Judith's room, his heart stopped. Lying bleeding on the floor was their daughter Judith. Franziska was frantically trying to stop the bleeding.

"CALL AN AMBULANCE!" She exclaimed when she heard her husband enter. "HURRY!" Without another word, Edgeworth whirled around and ran into the living room and dialed 911.

"This is Miles Edgeworth. I need an ambulance. My daughter's been shot."


March 13
Hope Hospital
9:30PM



When the ambulance bay doors swung open at the hospital, Judith was immediately wheeled into the the waiting Emergency Room, her distraught parents right behind her. "Six year old girl with a single gunshot wound to the left lung...possibly the heart as well." the nurse in charge briefed the doctor on duty. "Bullet appears to be lodged in the pericardium. Her name's Judith Edgeworth von Karma."

"Did you just say EDGEWORTH?!" the young doctor exclaimed in surprise. "As in Miles Edgeworth?!"

"Yes, she's my daughter." Edgeworth interjected. When the two looked at each other, each man recognized the other. "Dr. Stiles?!"

"Hello, Mr. Edgeworth." the doctor replied as he managed a weakened smile. "I'll be taking care if your daughter. Her wounds are serious but I will do everything I can to keep her alive. Come, Angie. We must get her prepped for surgery."

"A moment, Dr. Stiles." Edgeworth suddenly said as he approached him. "Please hold onto the bullet when you extract it. It's valuable evidence."

"I understand." the doctor replied as he and Angie rushed her upstairs. Only then did Edgeworth turn to face his wife. No one said anything for a few moments. finally, he spoke.

"...Do you want to talk now...or after you've consulted Wright?"

"..." Franziska said nothing as she caressed her belly. Her gaze was fixed in Edgeworth's direction but she wasn't looking at him. For the sake of their unborn child she could not afford to lose it right now.

"I'll take your silence to mean after." Edgeworth remarked as he paced in front of the elevator. "I'll call him myself once we get an update on her condition." The worried parents didn't have to wait long. roughly fifteen minutes later, Dr. Stiles returned to them. His tired expression was enough to tell them it wasn't good news.

"...I'm sorry." he said as he looked them in the eye. "I...I couldn't save her. She's dead." Edgeworth said nothing as he felt his vision go dark. By sheer willpower he somehow stopped himself from fainting on the spot. Franziska, however had no such hesitation.

"Mrs. Edgeworth!" the doctor exclaimed as he dove, catching her in time.

"It's von Karma." Edgeworth said, more to himself. There were millions of questions flooding him mind and one fact that was the cause of them: "Franziska...killed our daughter..."



March 13
Wright & Co. Law Offices
10:30PM


"Apollo! Trucy!" Phoenix called as he and his companion entered the offices that once bore his mentor's name. After a few moments and the sound of some equipment being shuffled around, the two emerged from the his office. "Reading my old cases behind my back again, Apollo?"

"You know me too well." the young attorney remarked with a nervous laugh.

"I've already told told you: If you want to look at my old cases you need to wait until I've looked them over first. There are a few cases that I'd rather not have read by anyone except myself or those involved."

"Daddy, who's that with you?" Trucy asked. Standing next to Wright was a woman with dark hair and matching eyes. Her gaze was one of incredible beauty yet she looked sad and remorseful. Apollo couldn't quite put his finger on it but she looked like someone he'd read about in that case before the case that ended in Wright getting disbarred.

"This is our new secretary." Phoenix replied with a warm smile. "Her name's Iris Hawthorne. She and I go way back. She was just released from prison and was in need of a job. It just so happens we could use an extra pair of hands to help with our two areas of expertise."

"Apollo Justice, Ace Attorney." Apollo introduced as he shook her hand.

Trucy Wright, Magician Extraordinaire." Trucy said in kind with a bow. "A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hawthorne."

"Please...just call me Iris." the former nun replied with a smile.

"Say Mr. Wright?" Apollo suddenly asked in surprise. "How come when I asked you if we could hire Larry Butz you said we weren't hiring?"

"I don't remember saying anything like that." Phoenix replied with an impassive expression. "Iris doesn't have housing yet so she'll be staying with us as well, Truce. Tomorrow will be your first day with us and once again, welcome aboard!"

"Thank you so much for the job, Feenie." she replied as she stroked his face with her hand. "I promise I will do everything in my power to make up for all of our lost time." Trucy and Apollo looked first at each other and then the couple before them in shock. Neither could think of anything to say so they kept their mouths shut.

"You two should probably get to bed." Phoenix said to them. "Tomorrow will be--" Phoenix was cut off when the phone suddenly rang.

"Who in the world...?" Apollo trailed as Wright picked up the phone.

"Wright & Co., this is Phoenix Wright speaking." said Wright as he answered the phone. "WHAT?!" he exclaimed. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S DEAD?! HOW?!" Realizing where he was, Wright calmed down immediately. "I understand. I'll meet you at the precinct."

"Who was that?" asked Trucy.

"Our next client." Wright remarked as he looked at the three gathered before him. "Well, Apollo. You wanted to meet a certain someone from my past so now you'll get your chance."

"Really?" the younger man asked in surprise.

"Yes." Wright replied. "That was Miles Edgeworth. He and his wife have requested our services."

---

And so ends the Prologue. Don't worry, Larry will make an appearance in the story. Derek and Angie will make another appearance or two as well. At least one more definite appearance. Before I finish writing Chapter 1, it would help to know how the story has been received thus far.

...Reviews aren't required but they do motivate me to update quicker.


...And now the Trauma Center Fanfic, A Wonderful Life:


Spoiler: Author's Notes
Trauma Center: A Wonderful Life
By Brendan Aurabolt
Category: Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2/Second Opinion
Rated: PG-13/Teen


Summary: Dr. Derek Stiles, Nurse Angie Thompson and Dr. Naomi Kirishima single-handedly wiped out GUILT once and for all on two continents. With Adam dead and gone, everyone is free to treat their patients without the fear of GUILT...or are they? A new and unknown disease is killing children around the world. The highly contagious disease is so dangerous, densely populated areas have been quarantined to protect healthy children. A Chiron test has confirmed Caduceus' greatest fear: A New Strain of GUILT. Caduceus USA and Caduceus Europe have teamed up once again to combat the new threat. For two people close to Derek and Naomi, the new disease hits very close to home...

Author's Notes: I have the first four Trauma Center games. I beat UTK2 in one night a few days ago. I'm looking to finish New Blood soon. I wasn't too surprised when I learned the alternate storyline used in Second Opinion was cannon to the UTK storyline. A shame but understandable—the trade off was in New Blood (believed to take place after the events of UTK2) you get co-op play, making operations a breeze. Now, to this fanfic. It picks up sometime after the events of UTK2. Since Naomi is in it obviously it's AU. The reason she's in this is because although she didn't come in until the last part of SO I still thought she was an important character. That, and there's no denying the fact that she had to operate on the Master Surgeon himself.


Spoiler: Chapter 1

Chapter 1: An Old Friend

---


She stepped out of Taxi and looked at the expanse medical facility in front of her. “So this is Caduceus USA, huh?” she thought to herself. “Fascinating....” She grabbed her things and entered the building.

“Can I help you?” The receptionist asked.

“I'm from Caduceus Europe.” the woman replied with a smile. “I'm here to see Director Hoffman. He's expecting me.” The receptionist took one look at her Identification Tag and knew who she was right away.

“Dr. Kirishima...?” another voice said. The doctor turned to see a man in a suit walking toward her. He extended his hand, which she accepted. “I'm Sidney Kasal. I was just about to go to the airport to pick you up.”

“It's quite alright.” she replied with a laugh. “All that matters is that I'm here, yes?'

“Of course.” Kasal replied as they walked into a nearby elevator. “Boy, are Dr. and Mrs. Stiles going to be surprised.”

“Derek got himself married?” Kirishima asked in surprise. “I wonder who the lucky girl is?”

“I believe you may have already met her, actually.” Kasal said with a smile when the elevator doors suddenly opened. When the person on the other side saw who the occupants were, she spilled her charts all over the floor.

“Naomi?!” she exclaimed in surprise before diving to gather the charts she dropped. Upon doing so she jumped into the elevator right before watching the door close.

“Nice to see you too, Ms. Thompson.” Naomi said with a smile. “Or should I say...Mrs. Stiles?” The entire time, Sidney stood in the elevator laughing.

---

“...And so Derek, we decided it might be a good idea to bring in a specialist from Caduceus Europe to help out here until we can hire more doctors.” said Director Hoffman. “Do you remember three years ago when I told you a surgeon's greatest weakness is he cannot operate on himself?”

“Yes, of course.” Stiles replied. “Then when I was infected with GUILT I thought I was done for.”

“Fortunately, you had a fellow surgeon with the Healing Touch to treat you.” a familiar voice said. The two turned to see Sidney, Angie and Dr. Naomi Kirishima enter the office. Naturally, the gentlemen knew which of the three had spoken.

“It's been a long time, Dr. Kirishima.” Hoffman said as the three sat down. Derek ended up sitting between Naomi and his newlywed wife, Angie. When Angie's father became sick with Post-GUILT Syndrome, after Derek treated him the two began to admit their feelings for each other. After eliminating Delphi and the Neo-GUILT threat once and for all the two were married.

“The pleasure is all mine, Director Hoffman.” Naomi said with a smile. “I admit it feels good being able to enter America on good terms again.”

“Oh?” the director asked in surprise.

“Oh, yeah.” Derek said as he recalled the last conversation he had with her.”I remember her telling me she unknowingly stumbled upon one of Delphi's GUILT Labs. She didn't know it at the time but she was helping Professor Blackwell cultivate the Savato strain of GUILT.”

“My work with Caduceus has been a form of rehabilitation for what I did.” Naomi explained. “Even though I wasn't directly responsible like Professor Blackwell I still bear some of the responsibility for GUILT.”

“Which brings us to why you are here.” said Kasal as if on cue. “As you know, tumors developed in patients who were infected with GUILT. We've been working vigorously hard to locate them so they can be treated before their symptoms become severe.”

“Now to why you're here.” Derek said as he turned to Naomi. “When we were at Caduceus Europe you treated my GUILT infection. When Caduceus first learned of PGS of course it made me worried. You have no idea how hard it was operating on countless patients wondering when my turn would come knowing I can't operate on myself.”

“Long story short, we want you to treat Dr. Stiles' PGS.” said Hoffman. “There is no one else we would trust to operate on the man who has become the face of cutting edge medicine.”

“I'll do it on one condition.” Naomi replied. “I want a full pardon for the sins I committed the last time I was in this country. In addition, I want a full-time residency position here at Caduceus USA.”

“I believe I can make arrangements for the first request.” said Kasal. “It'll just be one of the many 'We Owe Yous' the government has given us to cash in on. As for the other, wouldn't that shorthand Caduceus Europe?”

“I shouldn't think so.” Naomi replied. “My replacement, Dr. Adel Tulba and his assistant, Nurse Heather Ross have been putting the skills they honed here to work. Add to that Dr. Tulba gained the Healing Touch when he was in his native Costigar and Caduceus Europe has its own ace surgeon.”

“Adel regained the Healing Touch?!” Derek asked in surprise. “The second time I operated on him he told me he lost the ability to use the Healing Touch.” Naomi simply shrugged.

“It might be possible the training Dr. Tulba underwent when he physically gained it allowed him to regain it naturally.” Dr. Hoffman suggested. “Now, Derek, let's get you prepped for surgery...”

---

“Angie, please explain to Dr. Kirishima what she will be doing.” said Derek as he sat in the bed of one of the patient rooms. Also present was Dr. Victor Niguel, the head of Caduceus USA's Research and Development division.

“Three years ago, Derek contracted the Kyriyaki and Paraskevi strains of GUILT.” she began. “When you treated him, both GUILT were attacking his heart. A few days ago, he tested positive for PGS and several tumors have since formed on the surface of his heart. Initial analysis has told us they were the same kind of tumors my father had when Derek treated him.”

“I see...” Naomi replied as she looked over a copy of Professor Blackwell's charts. When she saw how he treated him she frowned. “According to this Dr. Stiles, you were only able to successfully treat him with the help of your Healing Touch.”

“Yes, that's right.” he replied as he recounted the operation. “The last tumor flashed too fast to treat normally. If you use your Healing Touch then you should...oh, right. Yours is different from mine.”

“Which is where I come in.” said Dr. Niguel. This reminded everyone else that he was indeed in the room, as he'd been silent up to now. “I watched the footage of your Healing Touch Naomi and in my option, it blows Derek's out of the water.”

“Victor!” Angie and Derek exclaimed. He ignored them.

“Knowing you were going to be called in to operate on Derek one day I went ahead and designed a headband and gloves that, when used in an actual operation will allow you to use Derek's Healing Touch.”

“The catch is it can only be used by someone who can use the Healing Touch.” said Derek. “I actually used it to learn how to use yours and Director Hoffman used to learn both of ours and relearn his. Not that he has plans on operating regularly again but...”

“I see.” said Naomi. “So it would be useless if a doctor without the Healing Touch tried using Dr. Niguel's invention.”

“Not entirely.” the researcher replied. “Dr. Chase and Dr. Clarks tried using it and although they didn't gain the Healing Touch, it certainly enhanced their operating abilities. I've already submitted the patent to the FDA so mass-production can begin.”

“Very impressive.” Naomi remarked as she put the instruments on. “Now, I think I'm ready to begin the operation. Angie, please administer the anesthesia.”

“Very well.” Angie said as she picked up a needle and injected it into Derek's IV. “Dr. Stiles, please count backwards from ten.”

“One, two, three, four, five, six, seeeeeeee....” That was all he said before promptly falling unconscious. Angie then intubated Derek by pushing a tube down his nose into his nasal passage. After doing that she turned on the portable lung machine that would breathe for him. Naomi chose that moment to disinfect the area of the incision.

“Scalpel.” Angie said as she passed the surgical instrument to Naomi. She cut through the dermis and epidermis until she reached his breast bone.

“Bone Saw.” Naomi said after she finished prepping the area. Naomi passed it to her and she cut Derek's breastbone in half. She then propped his ribcage open with stainless steel scaffolding. Naomi then moved Derek's lungs out of the way so she would have access to his heart. Here, she could see that everything was just as noted in the charts she'd read.

“For this you need to use the Powell Procedure.” Angie explained. “Drain the cytoplasm and then excise the tumor. Just remember to inject the detox serum to return the patient's heart to its natural color. This is also necessary to use the stabilizer.”

“Of course.” Naomi replied, impressed with the breadth of knowledge Angie was providing her with for the procedure. She extracted the first six without much difficulty. Once they were out of the way she waited for the tumor she would need Derek's Healing Touch to treat. Within a few moments it showed itself.

“Now here's where I come in.” said Victor, reminding the women that he was still in the room. “Dr. Stiles visualizes a star when he activates his Healing Touch. I don't know what you do but if you focus on the area you're trying to treat it should work the same way.”

“Understood.” Dr. Kirishima replied as she began to focus. Like Derek, she too visualized a star to use her Healing Touch. “Focus the mind...!” In the next instant she knew she was using Derek's Healing Touch. When she looked down at the tumor it was flashing much slower. She excised and extracted the tumor without much difficulty. The job done, she phased out of it.

“Treatment complete.” Angie reported. “Well done, Doctor!”

“My thanks to you as well.” Naomi replied as she closed him up. “And you, too Dr. Niguel.” He shrugged.

“You did all the work.” he said. “I just wanted to see my invention in action. Now that I've seen you use it I'll see if Dr. Kasal at Hope Hospital would be interested in piloting it there.”

“Isn't that where Derek and Angie met?” Naomi asked.

“Something to that effect.” Angie replied. “Oh my g—excuse me!” Before either doctor could react she ran into the bathroom across the hall. In the next moment they could hear her throwing up.

“She was fine this morning.” Victor said with a shrug before Naomi could ask. “Either she's come down with something or...”

“She's probably pregnant.” Naomi finished before they both started laughing, both of them looking at Derek's sleeping form. “Now I really can't wait to see his reaction when he wakes up!”

---

And there we have Chapter 1. Yes, this story is Derek x Angie but I'm looking to try a Naomi x Victor, too. If it works to my liking I'll run with it. For the operation, I decided to make the lobectomy more realistic by including all the steps involved. In the games, the chest is cut open but the fact that the ribcage needs to be opened for access to the Heart and lungs is left out.


You may leave reviews here or via FF.net, I care not which. Just review so I'll know if I should keep updating or not.
Phoenix Wright! Miles Edgeworth!
