The Etrian Turnabout:
Chapter 1:
"W-where am I?"
A man in his early thirties awoken next to a couple others. His dark hair, usually pushed back with hair gel was now made him look like a shaggy lion.
"Okay. I'm not the only one," he mumbled, eyeing the next few people around him, "there's Apollo and Trucy at one end... Ms. Cykes, and Mr. Blackquill over to my right... The Delites with the people from the Circus ahead of... THE DELITES AND THE PEOPLE FROM THE CIRCUS?!"
The young man gasped in surprise to see those people ahead of him laying underneath a tree together.
From what this could remember, he fell asleep on his desk, not thinking once about any of those two. He laughed nervously.
"W-well... That seems rather... odd..."
He looked over around his surroundings.
"A forest... Don't remember seeing such greenery back in Los Angeles..."
Suddenly, he heard marching towards their direction.
"Apollo... Apollo, wake up..." he then said, pushing a man with two cowlicks popping over his otherwise neater hair.
"Halt! It seems we've found some survivors!"
The man looked up to see a samurai - a female one - looking down on their group.
"They aren't in the usual format most Guilds would have been in... I've counted nine survivors instead of five."
There was a small red-haired girl holding a creepy looking plush rabbit in her dark garb. She was around the height of a small child, but she still seemed as threatening as her tall counterpart.
"State your name..."
"I am Phoenix Wright." the man stammered, "I am a lawyer for the Los Angeles judicial system."
The samurai looked puzzled by Phoenix's statement.
"Never heard of a lawyer exploring the forests of Etria. Especially making it this far in the labyrinth. Is this your party?"
Phoenix looked around. The boy with the two cowlicks from earlier was finally waking up slowly, followed by her sister in blue magician's garb.
"Please... We don't mean any harm..." Phoenix stood up.
"Of course you aren't. Seeing you have no weapons, we could kill you on the spot." the samurai hissed.
"M-Mr. Wright?!" the cowlicked brunet bellowed.
The female samurai drew her blade and was ready to slice Phoenix up.
The brunet suddenly bellowed, sending billions of the animals around them disoriented, and waking up everyone else as well.
Phoenix flinched, but as he opened his eyes, they eyed another group of travelers, also holding weapons against them.
"Ah... It's the Dangerus Guild. You shouldn't be here..."
The samurai was hissing at a young woman with blonde hair and dark bondage gear who was holding her sword with her whip.
"It's rude to bully the weak, Rin. Didn't Chieftain Visil teach you any manners?"
Phoenix was in awe as a dominatrix saved him, his employees, his former clients, and most importantly, his family from certain death. Behind her were four others, a dark-skinned female with more proper armor and a shield, a dark-green haired marksman, a white-haired man with similar clothes to the red-head with the samurai, and a silver-haired bard in green who was starting to sing during all of this.
"Mr. Wright... What is going on?!" the brunet male asked.
"And where are we?!" his sister, in the magician's garb asked.
"I..."
Phoenix couldn't really answer that question since he was wondering that himself. However, he realized now was his chance to figure a way out of this nightmare.
"Etria is not a place to house murderers of normal human beings!" the female shield holder declared as she blocked an attack from the red-head holding the bunny.
"What are you talking about? They are not normal! How did they even get here in the first place?"
"We don't know that question either, after all, only Troubadours can travel without a weapon through this God-forsaken realm!"
"We can't have mere nobodies learn about this place. He still hasn't answered about his Los Angeles guild yet!"
"I don't give a..." the dominatrix hissed as she threw another whiplash at the samurai.
Phoenix could only watch as he figured a two against five battle ended longer than he expected.
Defeated, the samurai and the small girl retreated, but not before the samurai said this: "This isn't the end, Dangerus. Watch your steps and try not to hurt yourself the next time we meet."
Phoenix was in awe.
"Hey. You guys alright?"
"Who... Who are you guys?"
The dominatrix laughed.
"We're Dangerus. We're one of the registered explorers of the Yggdrassil Labyrinth. I don't believe we've caught the name of your guild mates... Phoenix Wright."
Phoenix looked toward everyone else, both a little disoriented about where they are and potentially deaf thanks to Apollo.
"Umm... The one who yelled was probably Apollo Justice. He's also a lawyer, and he's working under me alongside the young lady in the yellow business attire, Athena Cykes."
"Three lawyers in one party? Well that's pretty pathetic."
"Shut up! Anyway, the tall gentleman who looks like a samurai is actually a prosecutor. His name is Simon Blackquill."
"A prosecutor?"
"The young blonde haired miss in the red jumpsuit is Desiree DeLite. Her husband is Ron DeLite, and he's not very hard to notice, as you can probably guess."
"Is he that pink haired guy in the makeup?"
"NO. That's Maximillion Galactica. He's a popular magician where I come from. He's also with Regina Berry, an animal tamer."
"Hmmm... A Zodiac and A Wildling are on your team? How unusual..." the female Protector blinked, eyeing them suddenly.
"I don't know what you mean, but okay... Ron is the gentleman wearing red gold and green."
Phoenix could say more, but then the other three party members of the 'Dangerus guild' were eyeing him next.
"N-Nick... What's happening?" the young man with curly bronze locks squeaked meekly.
"I think we were abducted by aliens..." the female girl in the magician garb announced, as the dominatrix eyed her next.
"What an unusual party you have here, Phoenix. And you said 'aliens', right? That must describe whatever the Hell Kupala is..."
"Kupala?" Phoenix asked.
"She's a strange looking creature that warned us about going into the fourth stratum here. She is green... Green hair... and green skin. She has such amber eyes as well... It's best we take you into the Guild before anything bad happens to you..." the silver haired bard laughed nervously.
"Wait... But where are we exactly?!"
"We already told you... The Yggdrassil Labyrinth!"
"I still don't know what that means..."
"Here. We'll take you all back to Etria, but that means everyone needs to hold hands. We're taking you in for a ride." the male archer declared.
--------------
Phoenix finally saw daylight... Familiar daylight in a small village-scape with white and green houses riddling the rocky pavements.
"Welcome to Etria. It's a pretty friendly town. Thanks to the Yggdrassil Labyrinth, we are bursting with resources." the dominatrix beamed.
"We aren't the only ones, though. There are towns near a giant tree also named Yggdrassil in towns like Lagaard, Armoroad, and Tharsis." the female Protector grinned.
Who is the second magician in your Guild, anyway?" the archer asked.
"Oh. This is Trucy, my daughter." Phoenix gulped. He was scared for everyone.
"Speaking of which, let us introduce ourselves separately," the dominatrix realized, "I am Roxanne. I'm a Dark Hunter whose abilities are meant to bind and damage the monsters on this floor."
"I am Vivianne. I'm a Protector who tries our best to keep everyone alive in the labyrinth." the female protector intervened.
"I get people around the labyrinth and also am the marksman in the team. The name is Ripto. I'm a Survivalist! One of the best ones around, too!" the archer smiled.
"Ripto is also my younger brother." Roxanne sighed, "he can get on my nerves sometimes..."
"HEY! Didn't I save your hide from Rin's blade?"
Roxanne and Ripto began to argue as the next two explorers introduced themselves.
"I am Hellsong. I curse whoever crosses our path in the Labyrinth." the white haired male in the dark robes nodded.
Phoenix couldn't help but think of Simon with the chains also around him. Difference is, it seems he was with them for much longer, seeing how rusty it must be.
"These are the clothes of a Hexer. Please do not sympathize with me." Hellsong continued.
"Okay..." Phoenix murmured.
"That leaves the last introduction to me! I keep our Guild lively with song! The name is Django! I am a Troubadour, as Roxanne has explained to Rin, so a weapon isn't really THAT important to me, but it would be nice to hit one of those Treerats with a blade. That's why I carry one instead of an actual instrument at the moment!"
Unlike Hellsong, Django was rather chatty.
"What were you doing down there against that Rin character? Aren't you guys friends?" Apollo asked, a little hesitantly...
Everyone was silent until Vivianne piped up.
"Well... Yes and No. Rin and her Hexer friend, Tchlactga are servicing the Chieftain of Etria. However, they keep blocking our path whenever we try to explore further into Yggdrassil. We've heard of people like this, but in Etria, we find that behavior even worse because they attack us whenever we try to resist this time around."
"I see..."
"Say... Tell us more about this Guild you are in... Los Angeles?"
"It's not really a Guild... It's actually a city, much like Etria. Difference is, there is no Yggdrassil Labyrinth." Phoenix smiled.
Apollo intervened.
"Why should we trust them, Boss?"
The five warriors looked confused by Apollo's question. Phoenix took him aside, "You can talk to the others if you like..."
As Phoenix was explaining to Apollo why it was important they get home soon, Athena realized Phoenix put her on the spot.
"Umm... Well... I am Athena Cykes... and... Los Angeles is a pretty interesting place once you actually get to visit. Then again, the air isn't as great as Etria's..."
Athena thought of the air for some reason. The air was pretty clean, as you can almost smell the ozone. However, there wasn't much else about it otherwise. She guessed it was thanks to the Yggdrassil Tree just right outside of Etria.
"Why of course! Nothing tops the fresh air of a town with the Yggdrassil Tree nearby! Actually, the air is freshest inside the Yggdrassil Labyrinths."
"Wow! Do you think if you have oxygen depletion you can probably get some there?" Desiree pondered.
"Not exactly..." Django shook his head.
"Why not?" Maximillion Galactica asked.
"The Yggdrassil Labyrinth is also one of the most difficult places to survive in. We have many dangerous creatures... The deer are very aggressive... The wolves could eat us whole if we are not careful. There are a lot of factors here." Hellsong murmured.
Everyone gulped except for Simon.
"An animal Tamer could tame a creature here to intervene with these creatures. Though, there are other ways to get yourself hurt. Especially when we can no longer trust our government at these times..." Hellsong declared.
Regina looked excited.
"I think I can do it!"
"You need a Guild first, little one..."
"Guild?"
"Aren't we all just a Guild, then?" Ron asked curiously.
"Of course. You should register at the Explorer's Guild. You'll have the option to join us or build a Guild of your own. I recommend you build a Guild of your own..." Vivianne announced.
"Oh... Alright..." Apollo grimaced.
"Also, don't forget. A party can be up to five-to-six members only. Choose wisely your formation, lawyers!" Ripto waved.
"Thank you again for helping us out!" Athena waved back.
"Anytime." Roxanne giggled.
"So... How are we going to do this?" Phoenix asked.
