It was strange only the Fairies remembered Artemis name, no human above the surface remembered who he was, not even Butler. He didn't even remember her when she had seen him for a brief moment. She remembered him mutter imagining things, as he shook his head and turned away. How it pained her. What could have happened to her friend? She was determined to find out…

Chapter One:

Artemis awoke with a start, his head felt strangely light, he felt exhausted as if he had been running for hours. He moved his finger a sharp amount of pain rattled up from his body. Artemis let out a gasp of pain closing his eyes tightly where had it came from? Artemis realized he was lying on some sort of metallic floor.

"I wouldn't move if I were you." A voice whispered it was cold, and lacked any emotion. Artemis shivered it was cold. There must be something he wants, could he have found out about the people? The voice was deep clearly indicating that he was male, and well human. The voice lacked the peoples accent.

"You're the first human over a decade to travel through time, you should be proud…but what I find even more amusing is that you betray your kind as they keep hidden I ask you why?" The voice demanded its voice cold and hardening.

"Its not polite not to mention your name," Artemis mused, "before starting a conversation."

"Do not play your games with me." The voice hissed clearly agitated, " You are expendable…I merely need to know why you are aiding those fairies." Artemis was silent for a moment.

"If I am expendable why would I tell you what you want to know, when you would kill me after words."

The voice snorted, "it seems as if your as intelligent as they say." The voice whispered in a dangerous soft voice. "Well then Fowl, soon enough you will learn why you are here, and during that time I think its best that you cooperate, or it could end with several electric shocks, and don't even try to use magic…"The voice warned. "It could become severely painful for you." The voice sounded bored.

'What ever they are after, I doubt it is to invite the fairies over for a conversation about the wheatear.' Artemis thought his head felt hot and the tiles cooled it. He felt sleepy he'd probably had been drug so that he couldn't think straight. These people where clearly clever. And yet at the same time he couldn't help but wonder…how had they found out? About the fairies, about how he had traveled through time? The only option was, that there was a traitor among the people.

Holly's heart pounded, there had been another signal, another powerful energy surge, it was like the one when Artemis had disappeared. Holly's heart pounded as she moved foreword slowly. Anything could appear through the shield. And yet…How exactly did who ever had taken Artemis seem to have erased him through all the humans mind?

Holly raised her Neutrino slightly above stun. Of course she wasn't alone Foaly was besides her well, in a mike but none the less there. There was a LEPrecon retrieval group coming up, along with members from Section 8. And of course Number One was on his way as well. Holly raised her gun as a figure appeared.

He stood still for a moment as his brain began to register the fact that he was there. The figure took a step back, he was wearing a black hooded leather cloak of some kind as if these were the medieval times. His face was hidden beneath a black clock, only sapphire purple eyes gleamed out from beneath the hood. He wore black leather gloves and most of all he had travelled through times as it seemed.

"I'm here commander." he spoke into the air his eyes scanning the area. "It seems clear enough." He murmured as he moved foreword hesitant. Holly stepped out from beneath the tree her gun raised. "Wait Holly I've come to help." He spoke his voice filled with layers of the Mesmer. " I don't want to fight you and you don't want to fight me." The boy advised.

"What who are you?" Holly snapped un shielding as she came into view.

"Well I'm- You've got a runner." A voice hissed from a mike on his arm. He swung his head around, taking out his weapon. "Where is it- A blast erupted from behind Holly and the stranger. Dust appeared. "Get behind me Holly one touch from him and you may never see this side of the centaury again." He advised as he raised his gun.

"How do you know my name, and- That's for later after we deal with him." He pointed to the large being that was stepping out of the portal. Its skin was a deep gray its eyes pitch black it had large horns like a demons curved slightly it had long massive amounts of black hair like a horses, it had large sharp talons on its hands and feat, and a large whip like tail large wings hung from its sides.

Hollys eyes widened in horror.

"What is that thing- He's a runner, and he was once human."
