Artemis Fowl: Shattered

Chapter 1: Midsummer Days Massacre

The sun was shining today, the sky was blue, the grass around the Fowl estate was a rather lush green. All in all a good day, Angeline was lounging in a lawn chair at the edge of the new pool, while the twins and Artemis senior splashed about for fun. Minerva Paradizo was layin in a lawn chair next to Angeline in a second lawn chair, tanning as well, but instead of reading a tabloid she was reading a new science journal that focused on the new was to both gather and use dark matter. She had grown as a woman over the years, almost 22 years old, intelligent, beutiful, and a good family friend of the Fowls. Her new research and project was the history and theory of magic, she often consults with Artemis on what he knows about magic. However as she has grown older she has found a new pull to womanly things, like he appearence, even working out with Angeline to maintain her figure and shoping for current fashions. Butler and his sister Juliet too were outside and enjoying themselves, though their primary focus was still the protecting of the Fowls and Minerva as well. The butlers sat non the large patio in the sun over looking the grounds discussing martial arts, dragonskin body armor, and old adventures that involved the fairy folk. Butler was becoming quite aged, all of his hair grey now, and a few wrinkles on his face, his new flat top haircut and his full goatee gave him the feel of an old war veteran as his sister often told him. His trust Sig Sauer at his side in it's hip holster as always. Juliet had cut her hair into a more conservative ponytail, and now boasted a jagged scar across her left eye. Still she was pretty, and she told had an affection for the Sig Sauer, as she had a smaller 45. calibur model strapped to her hip as opposed to her brothers 50. calibur model.

Artemis himself had grown up, he stood at 6ft 4in, his shoulder length raven colored hair was pulled into "the manliest ponytale ever" as Holly had been teasing him. He has thickend out a bit too, not much, but he was very fit and weighed 143 lbs. His new build was probably due to Butler forcing him to train with him so that in the event that butler is incapable of protecting him, he can defend himself. Artemis has been taught how to throw knife, use one in close quarters combat, and if necissary how to operate the basics of most fire arms,speed needs improvement but his aim it quite good. Artemis had also taken to trimming his facial hair but letting it remain as scruff or shadow. He was wearing his usual Armani suits, only now his colar was unbuttoned and he wore no tie. He stood in his study, over looking the grounds from the second floor of the manor, with an ice cold spring water in his hand. Waiting for something, that characteristic shimmer of his friend Holly Short attempting to sneak up on them all with her sheild activated. Artemis had begun o listen to new kinds of music beyond classical, such as classic american rock and metal bands, while they were no Mozarts or Beethovens they had a certain draw to them that Artemis's adult mind found attractive. He leaned back and sat on the edge of his desk, tapping his left foot through the bass strokes of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and taking a sip of his water. However, those sharp eyes never left the grounds, one a sharp icey blue, the other a gorgeous hazel.

His eyes caught a heat shimmer near the forested area at the edge of the grounds, he had her. Then he saw something odd, another heat shimmer around 10 meters away, then another, and then another. He tapped a key on his desk and simultaneously called Butler. As the high tech windows to Artemis's study became infa-red he saw why there wher multiple shimmers, there were multiple armed fairies. Butlers deep gruff voice answered his call.

"I see them," Butler probably saw them first, his sunglasses where infa-red. "Assumed hostile?"

"Yes." Artemis was not worried at least not yet. "Holly is still on her way, but she is alone, this group is seperate. Butler be carful, we know how dangerous they can be." Then he saw something that was unique, something that was possibly worrysome. "Butler, look at the four in the back to the left, see that? Thats a really tall fairy."

He heard Butler sigh, "Humans? Looks like that group you were talking about is real. Artemis, who did you anger this time?"

"Fom the way it looks old friend, almost everyone." Artemis picks up the twin weighted backlash thowing blades, a gift from Butler and Juliet, from the desk and clips them to his belt behind his back. "Can you and Juliet handle this?"

A deep sigh, "Artemis, I'm getting old, are you going to stop trying to get us killed?"

"Eventually old friend, eventually." He said with a smirk on his face.

With a quick ha, "that's not very reassuring."

Holly was flying high, not just litteraly either, she was in extremely good spirits as well. Having been working every day for the last six month's was exhausting and she had finally been able to get a leave, one week, and she was going to spend it above ground with her human friends here in beutiful Ireland. She couldn't wait to see Artemis, Butler, and Juliet agin, and to think this time they could do it without having to save the world at the same time. She was the top agent of the LEP, suddenly popular with the citizens of Haven, probably due to the many time she has pulled their asses out of the fire, with the help of Arteis Fowl of course. She didn't mind the adoration, or the fame, she was never on the streets to be cornered by it, but the mountains of fan mail and love letters from young males were getting to be a problem. But she didn't want to think about that right now, even though there would be a ridiculess pile at HQ when she returned.

She sent a message to Artemis a message with her helmet saying she was on her way and about 30 minute out from Fowl Manor. She was all smilies until a red letter appeared on her helmet HUD from Artemis. She opened the urgent message with a quick blink and read it.

URGENT MESSAGE FORM ARTEMIS FOWL:

HOLLY, TURN BACK, RETREAT, UNDER ATTACK.

Thats was enough for her, but Holly never does what she is commanded if her heart knows better, and she couldn't just leave her friends in danger.

Artemis knew that she wouldn't listen to him, but he hoped it would either speed her up to lend assisstance or keep her safely away. Either way was perfectly fine, they could use her help and magic, but on the other hand she would be much safer if she stayed away.

Things were not going well, the enemy had attacked immediatly after Butlrt casually rose to collect the Fowls and Minerva. Artemis Fowl senior had been hit by a lazer, the illegal kind, and was laying face down near the pool, with a puddle of blood forming underneath him. Artemis was worried yes but his mind was focused entirely on the enemy the Butlers had killed several members of the assault team. and were quickly making heir way up to the Manor. Once inside the doors, Butler grabbed a SIG 556 long barreled assault rifle from the hidden compartment in the wall.

"Move it everyone upstairs into Artemis's room now!" Butler Thundered.

A stry lazer blast come through the wall and struck her square in the shoulder, blood flowed for a moment before the wound was cauterized. Juliet Grabbed the twins and ran down the hall, with Minerva close behind her. Butler heaved the fainted Angeline over his shoulder and ran as hard as his body could. this was it and he knew it, It was time for Juliet to protect Artemis. That is, if they both survived..

Inside of Artemis's room, he was pouring himself over a computerscreen watching for anything other than infantry, he had also opened the vault, a specially designed safehouse. Developed by Artemis, Foaly, and No1 to house up to 6 people and phaze them out of reality to avoid danger for up to a week. Artemis kept looking at the screen but vocally tried to comfort his greiving mother, who had just lost her husband again. Juliet too cover behind the large open metal door.

"Mother, please listen to me, father was taken from us once before, I will find a way to fix this but you must give me some time to ensure the safety of everyone else." Two beings, a human and a goblin, charged through the door, Artemis caught the image of a red X7 on their shoulders before Butler gunned them down. "Butler, take cover here behind the desk, once everyone is inside come in and shut the door behind you. The vault should automatically phaze out for a week." yells Artemis, Butler does so followed by Angeline and the twins. However, their trip is cut short when another lazer blast cuts through Artemis's window and punches throgh the dead center of Angeline Fowl's chest killing her almost instantly. Even if Holly had been there to lend assistance, these lazer were extremely powerful, as they punched holes straight through anything other than special reclective carbon-fiber titanium plates, they istantly causterize the edges of affected flesh (burns the wound closed to prevent blood loss and infection, but it comes at the price of any healing, natural or magical, happen at an extremely slow rate, if healing is even possible. Angeline's wonds were to sever, she was dead as simple as that, the twins rushed to her fallen body while Artemis stood dumbstruck, he'd lost his father before but his mother, the woman there for his entire life, supported him and kept his secrets, even allowing Holly (whom she had thoroughly like) and Mulch (whom she didn't like as much) to stay at the manor when ever they were able, had just been killed infront of him, in his room, by a stray lazer beam fired by a mythical creature or a human allied with them. He was frozen before he felt something slender, but still hard and hevier than him, crash into him. They both crashed through the door and the last thing he saw before the Vault shifted out of the demension was Butler's grim face as he closed the door, but that face said more than any words. It said goodbye. Something stood up next to him, and he shot up at the flash of a familiar ponytail, Juliet was the thing that had crashed into him.

Butler heard it in the silince that followed Angeline's sudden death, he heard it through the new hole in the window. the characteristic whistler of a tactical missile flying directly at them. Butler's mind was still faster than lightning, but his body had decayed over the years and now he knew he did not have enogh time to save everyone so with the next 3 seconds he took in the room, the twins were out of reach, as was Minerva, butler regreted it but the were going to die, so was he. he was too far from the Vault to get them or himself to safety, Juliet began to run towards the twins, he principle's, with what remained of the old Butler, his massive hand cupped her waist and with the same motion threw her towards the open Vault door where she collided with Artemis and knocked both of them into the open door. He bolted to the door as the missle roared closer, and with all of his might closed the door as fast as he could so they would not realize what had just happened, but despite his best efforts as the last inches of the door closed he looked into their bright eyes, Juliet had understanding and fury in them, but Artemis had sorrow dulling his mis-matched eyes. With this last second Butler thought a good bye across the world, to Artemis, to Juliet, to Madam Ko, to Mulch, to Foaly, to Holly, and all of his friends. The missle crashed through the window and exploaded against the opposite wall, blasting Minerva almost through the wall, definatly killing her though, as Butler watched the explosion in slow motion, It nearly ripped her apart, her head haning on by a few peices of flesh on her neck, left arm completly blow away, same with the leg, her torso suffered a similar fate as her stomach was ripped wide open. The explosion annihilated the twins crouched near it cradling their mother's body. Butler was surprisingly serene at all of this, not because he was calm, not because he enjoyed death, It was because he could laugh in death's face, "I kept Artemis alive despite your best efforts, even unto the end." The blast blew him out of the window and he watched in continued slow-mo as he fell, as glass followed him to the ground. The impact jarred him to the core, and before his eyesclosed shut and he blacked out, a thought crossed his mind, "for some reason, I get the feeling I'm not dead yet. I really hope I am because this will hurt alot later, and the deaths..." but that was all before the giant of a man slammed into explosion induced darkness.
