A.N: I do not own Artemis Fowl, though I really wish I did.

Flashback

But make no mistake commander; you will all die in the end. I guarantee it.

Now

In Foaly's Op booth

Foaly, being a centaur, had trouble getting up. As he had fallen when some form of knockout gas had somehow over rode his filters and…..well it did what it was supposed to do. Foaly had landed on his side {rather awkwardly}.

After five minutes of struggling Foaly was finally up. Now to business he thought. Hitting the comm button he connected to Kelp's office.

In a rasping voice Foaly heard "Foaly…what in the name of Frond were you doing this whole damn time?" followed by coughing. Heavy coughing.

"Actually yes", Foaly replied. "It is very relaxing, or do you not know the…

"SHUT IT"! yelled Kelp. Followed by more intense coughing.

We….we have a situation up here. Is Short still above ground?

Foaly was in a little of a shock from Kelp's response, and his voice showed it.

Yes…..yes holly is still above ground.

Then get her down here for Frond's sake! And see if medical is…. {heavy coughing}

Foaly, having not seen what had happened, hit the camera buttons to see the office of kelp and the rest of the upper floors. He almost wished he had stayed knocked out.

Fowl Manor

Holly awoke with a start. She looked around her surroundings and to her surprise she knew where she was. She was in Fowl Manor.

"Good morning", said a voice that she instantly recognized.

Artemis Fowl was sitting directly across from the bed she had just been sleeping in. Holly smiled. She had been sent on one of her as of late usual assignments, "the checking up on and of Artemis Fowl", as the council had put it.

Artemis Fowl wishing someone a good morning? Who are you and what have you done with my friend Arty?

Artemis scowled. Hating the nickname.

Now that's the face I would have expected, Holly laughed.

Well I guess someone doesn't really want breakfast, I'll tell Butler to throw the strawberries out/

Holly went quiet.

You wouldn't dare…

I dared to kidnap you didn't I? I dared to start a cross species war did I not?

Holly glared at him

You wouldn't dare throw out strawberries…..

Suddenly a loud beeping noise came from the LEP communicator Holly had been issued. Upon activating it the noise coming from it was so loud that Artemis could hear it. Foaly was yelling like a mad man {horse?}

ALL TOPSIDE OFFICERS REPORT BACK TO LEP! WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY CODE 24, THIS IS NOT A DRILL. WE HAVE CASULTIES…..I REPEAT WE HAVE CASULTIES!

Holly went pale. A code 24? That wasn't possible except by maybe two people. And Artemis had been right here with her.

In less than three minutes later Holly was flying away from Fowl Manor. Hoping…no praying that she wouldn't be too late.

In Haven Council Chamber

The last of the council was sitting in his Chair…..trying to aim a spell at the mudman. But his magic was gone. And in that instant he knew he would die.

The mud man laughed his cold laughter.

I have been looking forward to this day, with great anticipation.

The councilman couldn't talk, he was too weak.

The mud man aimed his weapon, a crude device called a gun at the councilman.

The human fired three shots from his silenced pistol. The second shot to make sure, the third shot to make extra sure. But no fourth shot as silencers jam when you fire too many shots at once.

The councilman fell dead.

The human looked around the room. All the council was dead, all their aides, all their guards. Dead. Just as he had set out to do.

Now all that is left is Fowl and his little elf, the human thought. And in a flash he was gone

Unbeknownst to the human, a particular demon had seen the whole ordeal. And knew he had only one option.

A.N

Sorry if it is too long. I personally don't have high thoughts for this chapter. But still please review! And thanks goes out to Rider of the Winds for being the first to leave me a review.
