Another AU. No DL-6. Byrne gets very close to finding out the identity of the ringleader, so the smuggling ring decided to act. Instead of killing Byrne, Callisto had to expose him for being Yatagarasu. Mack Rell still kills Deid Mann and during his trial Byrne is accused. But, unlike the original, trial continues and more and more evidence point at Faraday. But suddenly Badd appears, starting to give the testimony. After a few words he says something that only the real yatagarasu would know. When Callisto starts questioning him, Badd plays dumb, but ultimately admits to being the legendary thief. He says that he used his friendship with Byrne to gain access to different companies and position as a Detective to hide the evidence. Byrne is shocked, since he understands that his friend is now taking all of the blame for his own. However Badd doesn't back down and continues to disprove Byrne's allegations. The court was adjourned and Mack Rell is pronounced guilty. Tyrell is arrested. Callisto did what she wanted by immobilising Yatagarasu and leaves (???). Gregory and Eddie (Ray) hear about the case and want to prove Badd's innocence, but he refuses. Despite all their reasoning he refuses to have them as lawyers and even refuses his right to a lawyer. But despite this, Ray (Eddie) finds a way for them to represent Badd in court. Ray (Eddie) switched to being a state lawyer and asks Gregory to be his judicial assistant, so Tyrell can't get away from them. They meet Faraday, who looks 10 years older because of the shock. Badd took all the blame, because he wanted to protect Byrne and, most importantly, Kay. +Badd didn't want to make Gregory compliciant, so doesn't invite him to the trio/defence. Thus begins the story of mysterious theif that poses the question: are all the truths should be revealed?
