Chapter 1: Power surge in Haven
Haven, Captain Holly Short's residence
Holly slept soundly on her bed. It was a quiet night, with the sounds of the city occasionally making their way to her elfin ears, but they did not wake her.
The slightest flash of blue from a point near the corner of the room was the first indication that something was wrong.
Suddenly, the entire room was suffused in a light blue glow that seemed to permeate everything in the room, including the now-sleeping Holly.
As the light suddenly increased to day-level light, Captain Holly Short awoke.
She sat up right away, thinking that it was daytime, and that she was late to LEP Headquarters.
"D'arvit!!" she exclaimed.
Then she opened her eyes.
With the lightning-fast thinking skills that she had gained at the LEP academy, she evaluated her situation. One, she was in her room, and it was night outside, not day. Two, her entire room was glowing like one of Foaly's radioactive experiments gone wrong.
She immediately drew her Neutrino 2000 from under her pillow and aimed it in general at her own room.
After that, she thumbed her nearby communicator that connected to LEP Headquarters, more specifically the channel that let her contact Foaly.
"Foaly!!!!" she yelled.
LEP Headquarters, Operations Booth
Foaly, a carrot dangling from his mouth, was just finishing the last of the paperwork for the night when his patented energy-detection system registered a hit in Haven.
"Warning! Unknown type of energy detected in Haven.", The computer announced in it's monotone voice.
The carrot immediately hit the floor as Foaly went agape in shock.
There were NO types of energies that he (or the computer) didn't know about. He had personally entered every sensor algorithm into the computer himself, and had a swarm of LEP technicians install the energy detectors after which he had (again) personally seen to it that every circuit was in place.
So, it came as a bit of a shock to him for the computer to announce that.
"What!!??" he said in disbelief.
His computers (obviously) never lied, so there was energy of unknown type in Haven. Then, fully realizing what had happened, he decided to recover from his shock and ask a bit more.
"Computer, confirm last statement"
"Confirmed. Energy of an unknown type and origin is building within sector 43-M of Haven. Pinpointing exact source now…"
"Computer, take Haven to Level 2 alert, authorization Foaly-2664-Alpha"
"Haven alert status is now level 2"
10 seconds later, the computer announced an exact location for the mysterious energy buildup.
Captain Holly Short's residence.
That was when Foaly heard something over his secure channel on his communicator.
"Foaly!!!", yelled Captain Short

The end of Chapter 1. *sighs* Ah, wait until you see what I've got planned for Holly in the next Chapter. *Laughs evil laugh*
And please people, Read and Review! I would love suggestions for other chapters, or ways to improve my writing.
And yes, all you Fowl addicts, I KNOW that Foaly's computers (in the book) don't say stuff out loud right away! I added that for this story.
Also, I added "alert statuses" for Haven.
Level 1: General Emergency
Level 2: Major emergency: Power surge, large explosion, etc.
Level 3: Getting "pinged": Total city shut down for at least 24 hours
