AN
This is set before the events of The Atlantis Complex. This is a rewritten version of the original Artemis Fowl and the Cloner basically because i didn't know where i wanted that story to go this one however i have planned and am going to do my best to upload regularly and complete.
Disclaimer:
I do not own Artemis Fowl, or any of the character therein. I do not profit from this writing.
Artemis Fowl sat at his computer reading the fairy news. He was interested in one article in particular. It was about him, he was sure of it. As the gnommish figures scrolled across the screen Artemis's left eyebrow rose, almost to merge with the thick crop of hair on his head.
Suspects include known villain Artemis Fowl and his human bodyguard Butler, while the robbery of advanced fairy tech was less cunning than other plans hatched by Fowl it is obvious that he is the culprit. He is seen below taking the new Neutrino Blackout rifle from the highly secure facility located in a undisclosed location. The NBR is an extremely powerful and dangerous rifle, capable of completely disintegrating any organism even a fearsome troll. Artemis Fowl and his bodyguard are considered terrorists and are to be avoided at all times.
"Neutrino Blackout rifle?" Artemis mused, he had not even heard of the weapon's development. How could he have stolen it? While this intrigued him Artemis was not willing to admit to the LEP that he had no knowledge of this weapon
Artemis decided it was time he hacked into Foaly's computer, he needed information. Artemis spun out of his chair leaping to his feet. He rushed across the room to his computer build using fairy tech he had collected over the years.
After breaking into Foaly's computer, which took Artemis little more than seven minutes, Artemis accessed Foaly's criminal database. It showed all the fairies and occasionally humans that the LEP wanted in custody. It took seconds for Artemis to find his face alongside Butler's. He was wanted for theft of a top secret weapon and trespassing.
Captain Holly Short was flying over the ocean. She loved the fresh air on her skin. After the stale recycled air of haven this was heaven. She hovered low over the waves allowing the spray to wash over her.
She neared that main land. Where she would perform the ritual, she needed to full up on magic. She flew over the island. The lights below nothing more than a blur, sounds were all merged together. She found the oak tree, it was near a river. It snaked past the massive tree and continued on opening out on to the ocean further downstream. Holly circled twice to be sure that no one was hiding here for her.
She was paranoid about the ritual ever since her first encounter with Artemis Fowl. After she was sure that she was alone she landed. Close to the tree so that she could find an acorn. She bent to plant the acorn in the soft moist soil when she heard a gruff snuffling. She froze. She slowly turned her head to the source of the sound. Then she heard a voice in her head. It was Foaly's.
"Holly, we've had reports of a troll sighting."
"Why are you breaking radio silence to tell me this?"
"It's extremely close to where you are." At that moment the source of the snuffling revealed itself. a Troll burst forth from the bush, screaming its rage to the sky. Holly drew her Neutrino and fired, once, twice, thrice. The troll didn't even notice. It just ploughed straight on charging at Holly like a train.
It hit Holly hard and she was thrown into the air, she then hit her head on the only rock in the clearing. Holly blacked out.
The snuffling and screaming of the enraged troll was gone, Holly felt like she was dead. She knew she wasn't, too much pain to be dead. She heard voices, lots of voices. Foaly from inside her helmet, he was panicking. She also heard several voices from a distance. Two or three voices she couldn't be sure how many.
"Quickly, get the hair and we can get out of here," A man's voice, deep and rough, the voices stopped replaced by footsteps. Thud, Thud, Thud.
Holly felt someone pull her helmet off, and heard it dropped on the ground. She felt her hair being pulled out a strand at a time. Three strands of hair. Then she heard wings being powered up and the rhythmic beating as the people took off, leaving her on the ground with a throbbing head. She tried to open her eyes, it was hard the light hurt her eyes she had been unconscious for most of the night. The voices were probably why she woke at all, she was very tired. The week had been a tough one. Punishment at the hands of many criminals was never pleasant.
She had bruises on bruises. She was looking forward to the magic flushing the pain from her system. She crawled to the oak tree, looked for an acorn. She couldn't find one, her frustration built. She had come all this way for the ritual and it was taken from her at the last second. She was about to try to stand up when she felt something digging into her palm. As she lifted her palm she saw that it was an acorn. She must have held on to it the whole time she was unconscious.
She planted it and completed the ritual. Instantly see felt the magic course through her body. The blue lightning sparked all over her and the pain slowly ebbed away. Her headache was gone and the bruises faded. Her breathing came easier.
She stood and lumbered over to where her helmet lay on the ground. She picked it up and checked it for damage. The visor was cracked but that was the worst of the damage. She put it back on and called Foaly.
"Foaly, you there?"
"Holly! You scared me half to death last night. What happened?"
"Troll, can't remember much else. Then when I woke up this morning a couple guys maybe more took some of my hair."
"Your Hair?"
"Yes, my Hair."
"Alright, never mind. Trouble wants you to head over to Fowl manor and arrest that criminal."
"Fine." She said, before powering up her wings and taking off.
