Rating: G
After brief interrogations of Captains Ichimaru and Tousen, the mob was now surrounding the big hill with the Execution Scaffold on it.
"Can you explain what's going on?" Mia asked the nearest Captains.
"Of course," Captain Ukitake said. "That's Aizen Sousuke there with his sword drawn, the one we all thought was dead. And that's Urahara Kisuke hanging on the scaffold with the gag in his mouth. And the big flaming bird which is just gathering itself to descend in fiery wrath is Kikou, the spirit of the Soukyoku, with the power of a million zanpakutou. And the big rip in the sky is where Hollows may be about to break through in overwhelming force. Does that cover everything?"
"I think so," Mia said. "Thank you very much. Except for the question of why . . ."
"Yes," Captain Ukitake agreed. "I think we'd all like to know that."
"Aizen Sousuke!" Yamamoto demanded. Barely-controlled flames roiled around him. "Explain yourself!"
"Of course," Aizen said politely. "It's really quite simple. The upper limit of shinigami power . . ."
"I'm not sure there's anything we can do now," Phoenix muttered to Edgeworth while Aizen delivered a ringing monologue. "Though I hope the prosecution are prepared to admit that Hitsugaya and Kurosaki are both clearly innocent."
"We do seem somewhat outclassed," Edgeworth agreed. "But I'm not sure that Aizen is giving a complete explanation. If only we could have questioned him in court!"
Phoenix frowned. "Yes . . . I have the impression he's holding something back."
". . . and then I discovered that Urahara Kisuke had hidden himself and concealed the Hougyoku inside his body . . ." Aizen went on to the listening crowd.
"Not just that," Franziska said, clearing a path with her whip for the group of attorneys. "The foolish affair has been needlessly complicated, and we know for a fact that Urahara Kisuke hasn't told us everything either."
". . . you mean that perhaps there's something going on that Aizen doesn't know?" Apollo asked. "But he's had everything under control from the beginning! He had Dahlia Hawthorne giving us false testimony! He had --"
". . . and that's why I set up the trial in order to have Urahara brought here so that I could execute him on the Soukyoku and extract the Hougyoku from his ashes," Aizen finished. "Any questions?"
There was a horrified silence from the crowd. The giant flaming bird mantled its wings, preparing to stoop.
"OBJECTION!" The thunder of the shout broke the silence, stunned the crowd, caused Aizen Sousuke to visibly twitch, and made the huge phoenix miss its dive. The bird had to pull up and circle again. It was probably only Phoenix's imagination that made him think it looked offended.
Manfred von Karma stepped forward. "This person, Aizen Sousuke, is in error," he declared, "and we will prove it."
Thunder rolled.
