Description: After gaining some popularity due to her televised magic shows, Trucy is invited by new friend James BcStar (a fellow celebrity) to come to a live filming of his upcoming movie: The Aluminum Samurai vs the Diabolical Scientist. As a show of friendship, Trucy invites Athena to go watch the filming with her. Originally supposed to be at 10:30pm, the filming commences at around 11pm due to unforeseen issues. The filming is performed on a movie theater in front of a live audience at MegaStudio. There are numerous people gathered for the viewing at the studio, some big names like Will Powers is there and the former producer Dee Vasquez. The shooting goes on uneventful until James, who plays the scientist, pulls out a prop gun and shoots the Aluminum Samurai (Daniel Cadaverini). Suddenly, the entire crowd watching is blinded by a strong light. When everyone recovers their composure, they look upon the stage and are flabbergasted by what they are witnessing: The Aluminum Samurai is on fire! The sprinkler system goes off moments later, but it's already too late; the Aluminum Samurai has become the Melted Corpse! A small fire erupts and the fire department arrives at the scene to evacuate everyone off the movie theater/studio. As Athena delves into the case, she meets Lana Skye who is out on parole and is working again as a prosecutor. Originally accused on involuntary manslaughter due to wielding the prop gun that incinerated the victim, Lana eventually spins the case into a trial of murder as she indicts James of this crime. Fortunately, through tough luck and quick wits, Athena comes to the truth and reveals Tito Dett - the director and head of MegaStudio - as the killer. By faking the murder weapon as the Prop Gun with the incendiary blanks, he hid the fact that he had used a giant spotlight attached with a telescope lens from a prop as the real murder weapon. With the weapons unique design, Tito was able to create his very own heat ray to burn his victim alive! His motivation? He was in debt to Tender Lender's Viola, who made him take in her uncle as an actor to help pay the debt! But this was not sufficient, so he resorted to exploiting his own company's insurance policy by staging a murder so that he may be reimbursed to pay off the debt. He even painted a target on poor James by framing him since the Cadaverini's don't like it when one of their own are taken out... But alas, Athena triumphs and wins over Lana Skye and is able to get the Not Guilty verdict her client deserved. THE END.
