Oh! I’m so excited you asked this question anon, it’s actually a whole thing!

So we have this thing called “The New Age of the Law” universe that’s me and my writing partner’s take on the direction of the Ace Attorney story post Spirit of Justice. And Maya’s future is a big plot thread through it that is coming up soon.

Specifically, post Spirit of Justice, Maya goes back to Kurain village and becomes the channeling master, but the responsibility of it weighs heavy on her shoulders, and what she really wants is to be back in LA with everyone. But she has a duty, and she can’t bring herself to sacrifice her duty for what she wants, but it’s making her more and more miserable.

About a year later, she, along with Miles, and Phoenix (and a few others from the cast) get mysteriously summoned to an old inn in Japan, which is attached to the original village that Ami Fey came from.

It turns out that this is a trap by Dahlia Hawthorn’s restless and evil spirit, and the other restless spirits of the clan, who has manipulated prophecy and spiritual power in a bid to return to life and destroy the kurain school.

Maya, Phoenix and Miles are drawn into a demonic ‘otherworld’ in the old inn and have to uncover the terrible secrets of the a ‘forbidden’ technique, and it’s relation to a century old murder in order to bring the details to light.

They do, and in the process they banish Dahlia again and the powerful spirits that were looming over the inn– and in the process Mia Fey ends up coming back to life.

Unfortunately, while they were busy in Japan, Kurain village has been destroyed by related events and machinations, and Maya has nothing to return to, even if she wanted to. Most of the village survives, but they all break up and move elsewhere.

So Maya ends up becoming a defense attorney tutored by Phoenix and her sister Mia!

I’m hoping to start writing this fic around spooky season of this year, so please look forward to it!
