Achan would later admit that he never quite understood how the holograms had somehow been able to produce concussive force at that exact moment. All he knew was that one moment he was on his feet, trying to hide his embarassment over screwing up- the next, he was on the ground and trying to pull himself to his feet.
Wolfgang and the others began to applaud. "Bravo, Bravo, Herr Smith," Wolfgang commented. "And you as well, Miss Edgeworth. This has been an enjoyable duel- and I hope that the next round is as exciting."
Achan shook his head, gasping for breath as a grin spread across his face. "There's... not... going.... to be.... a next round."
Wolfgang's eyes narrowed. "What are you talking about?"
In answer, Achan pointed up.
A massive crack had appeared in the sky, as if somebody had hurled a baseball at a sheet of glass. Apparently Cureru's Spirit Law had done more damage than the Sturm Hunds had anticipated- and no wonder. They hadn't been expecting an actual Low-Judge of the Spirit world to show up, Achan realized. Judai hadn't warned them. And what's more, they weren't anticipating what was coming next.
Aku hovered near the point of impact, glowing with a brilliant light. Oh great gods who gave this world order, I, thy servant, now present this offering. Grant me what is mine by right, the strength of sealing! Break through this world of injustice!
Wolfgang pointed his gun at Achan. "Shoot him!" he ordered.
Too late.
The energy Aku had been storing was released, channeled at the weakest point in the barrier. Ma'at's blazing light!
The energy ripped through the hole that Spirit Law had torn in the barrier, and the formerly invisible dome fell to pieces like a house of glass.
Wolfgang stared in shock at the barrier, then at Achan and Tacey, speechless. "Well played," was all he said. Then he laughed.
Klaus and Ehrez looked at each other, then back at their boss, and shook their heads before raising their pistols. "Alright, cute trick- but if either of you move before we bring the barrier back, you're dead."
Achan shook his head, before pointing directly behind the two bikers. "First of all, it wasn't a cute trick- and second, I think this is checkmate."
Wolfgang and the others began to applaud. "Bravo, Bravo, Herr Smith," Wolfgang commented. "And you as well, Miss Edgeworth. This has been an enjoyable duel- and I hope that the next round is as exciting."
