002: [Present] -> [Castle Footage] [ACCIDENTAL VIDEO]

[truthsnomiracle]

[At first, you don't actually see much -- the Guide seems to be in the process of landing on its active end. Aside from its own clatter, you hear the thump of a body collapsing to the floor. You hear a bit of whimpering that sounds like it's from a grown human man after that, so that probably means that whoever it is is alive, right?...

KA-POW!

Mr Edgeworth? Mr Edgeworth! Hey!

[O-oh dear, this doesn't look good at all. Chie's already throwing on her good stomping shoes and rushing out to go find her recently met employee (?).]

[Whatever that thing was needed a stomping. But first and foremost, she had a friend to save!]

["This is the Guide of Miles Edgeworth. I am currently unavailable. If you wish for me to return your call[...]"

Apparently Edgeworth is in no state to respond. That brief video feed is apparently all the clue you get for now, Chie.]

[Fair enough, she wasn't paying attention anyway. All she has to do is follow the tremors anyway.]

[Of course, when she's confronted with a corridor full of Thwomps, she's pretty bewildered.]

--Wha?! Well... whatever!

[She was never good at the Mario games, but she's way better at dodging stuff. Chie weaves in and out of the Thwomp maze, searching for that telltale shade of magenta.]

[Well, Chie, the good news is that you're clearly getting warmer; the tremors that occur like clockwork are getting stronger.

The bad news is that a thin, spike-free Thwomp with short limbs and a crown on its head seems to be in your way.

"It makes me so mad! We build your houses, your castles. We pave your roads, and still you walk all over us. Do you ever say thank you? No! Well, you're not going to wipe your feet on me! I think I'll crush you just for fun! Do you have a problem with that? Just try to pound me, wimp! Ha!"]
