Chapter 12: The Truth Revealed

[vengefulyears]

Thames Arms

[vengefulyears]

Clive: I'm glad we finally met up with each other!

Luke: Where did you run off to?

Clive: I was doing a little investigating of my own, shadowing a suspicious woman I'd seen in town. I saw her tailing you around town and decided someone needed to figure out who she was.

Luke: Oh, you must be talking about Celeste.

Layton: Where did you last see her?

Clive: I lost her at one point, but I just saw her again heading into this restaurant. Seconds later, I saw a friend of ours head in as well.

Luke: Oh, let me guess. Don Paolo!

Clive: I'm beginning to wonder why I even bother explaining. You guys seem to know it all already.

Luke: Well, we've been hard at work getting to the heart of the case too.

Clive: Excellent. I figured you two wouldn't just wait idly for me to return. So, now what?

Layton: All the players in our mystery are here. I think it's time to meet back up with Celeste.

Clive: Players in our mystery... What's the professor getting at?

[Once everyone's inside, Layton reveals that they're not really in the future, the bartender is really Dimitri, he goes all dramatic, blah blah blah. And then--]

Layton: Someone's been using you as a pawn. Are you aware of this?

Dimitri: What are you talking about?

Layton: Someone here masterminded a scheme even more awful than yours, Dimitri. And that person is there!

[Points to Clive, who stands up from his seat in shock.]

Clive: I think you're mistaken, Professor.

Layton: No, there's no mistake here. And there's no hiding it anymore, Luke. Or should I call you Clive?

Clive: !

Layton: It took some time to put together the pieces of your plan. But when I finally understood it all, the sheer evil of it sent a chill down my spine.

Dimitri: Wh-what is he talking about, Clive?

Clive: ...

Layton: You kept your true intentions hidden from everyone, Clive. Even your partner, Dimitri.

Dimitri: What are you saying, Hershel?

Clive: ...

Layton: Clive was aiming for revenge on a massive scale, and you were nothing more than a pawn, Dimitri.

Clive: Tremendous work, Professor. You've found me out.

Chelmey: Stop speaking in riddles, Layton! What's this all about?

Layton: Clive, you lived next door to the lab that exploded 10 years ago. You were just a child then. That blast demolished half of the building you lived in. Reports indicate that 10 people were killed in the explosion, two of whom were your parents. It must have been a terrible shock. In the span of a few seconds, you lost your family and your home. When the initial shock wore off, it was replaced with anger. You became obsessed with exacting revenge on those who had wronged you.

Clive: ...

Layton: You were lucky enough to be adopted by a kindly woman in her golden years, Constance Dove. Miss Dove's extreme kindness was matched in scale only by the enormous fortune she possessed. You two lived quite happily as a family for a time. Sadly, it wasn't to last. Miss Dove departed from this world five short years later, leaving her fortune to you.

Before long, you graduated from secondary school and took a part-time job at a prominent newspaper. Considering your sizable inheritance, I don't think you took the job for pocket money. You were searching for something. Using the newspaper's resources, you finally hunted down the men responsible for your misery. You knew that both Bill Hawks and Dimitri Allen were responsible for the explosion.

Armed with this information, you concocted a plan to avenge your parents. First, you befriended Dimitri and convinced him to resume his research on the time machine. Then you used your inheritance to set up this elaborate facsimile of London. With your stage in place, you used your contacts in the press to find the best scientists in the country. After all, you would need quite a bit of help to complete this time machine.

You then proceeded to lure these brilliant men into your trap. However, unbeknownst to Dimitri, most of your staff were not working on the time machine.

Dimitri: Wh-what?

Clive: ...

Layton: Clive had secretly reassigned many of the scientists to a different project. You might think of it as his pet project.

Chelmey: We don't have all day, Layton! What was the second project?

Layton: A weapon designed to cause destruction on an unimaginable scale.

Dimitri: A weapon?! Is this true, Clive?

[Clive does his sexy ~evil~ laugh and then takes his hat off as he speaks.]

Clive: And I thought scientists were supposed to be observant! While you focused on your machine, I had a different goal. Though some may call it revenge, I prefer to think of it as justice over single-minded scientists and corrupt politicians.

Dimitri: What are you saying, Clive?

Clive: Enough explanations. Let me show you!

[He runs towards Flora...]

Flora: Huh?

[And then grabs her and starts running up the stairs.]

Luke: Hey!

[He tries to run after Clive, but he kicks down a potted plant right at him and escapes to his giant mobile fortress.]
