I have retured again!
And, upon my arrival, I have read the sudden burst of reviews this story has received!
So anyway, one of my reviewers has been extremely specific...
Let me give my personal, huge-ass thanks to Dragoncrazy for pointing those things out, I will get right on to fixing that!
And special thanks to Bravo, Captain Holly sparrow (Really Holly C Fowl), Juliegirl22, Sarena Thestoryteller, Fairyfinder and TheBigCat, who have pretty much stayed with me the whole way through my incredible journey on "A very Fowl christmas", and have begun reading "In another time".
So, if I missed anybody who has stayed by me the whole way or almost the entire way, feel free to let me know.
ON WITH THE STORY! *Wipes solitary tear of happiness off cheek*
Captain Artemis Fowl sat on his small, grey bed, in his small, grey apartment.
He was tired, half from lifting several heavy crates and half from fending off rioters who got a bit to close for comfort, and were waving slightly pointy signs in his face.
Artemis sighed and rubbed his tired eyes.
What a day...
He yawned, then reached over to his night table and grabbed a book he (Or Holly?) was reading.
He sat back on the fluffy pillows and cracked open the book.
Around an hour later, he fell asleep, the book gently resting atop his chest.
XxXxXxXxXx
Holly was sitting on a black leather roller chair, leaning close to the computers that sat on her (But really Artemis') desk.
It was around the time that the 12 year old Artemis began deciphering the gnommish language, Holly should have been able to read the symbols and decipher the sprite's book, but, in the past hours, she found that her knowledge of the gnommish language had deserted her.
She sighed in frustration.
Suddenly, Juliet entered through a door on the right hand side of the room, "Holly, your...uh...mother, is saying your father's come home!"
Holly stood up form her black chair very quickly, Holly's real father had died long ago, but this time paradox was making things quite confusing.
She rushed out of the room and up the stairs to where her "mother" resided.
She knocked politely, "Mother, are you awake, because I'm coming in."
Holly entered, and saw something rather odd, her "Mother" was sleeping next to a strange adult sized human shaped sack.
"Mother?"
Angeline didn't wake, thank goodness.
Holly left, and sat on the stairs right outside the door.
She grumbled quite a lot, about various things including global warming, her mother being silly and her frustration concerning the gnommish language.
She looked to her left and saw an egyptian vase, whose symbols resembled those of the gnomish language.
Holly rushed back to her study, and compared the egyptian symbols to the gnommish ones, almost each one had a match.
Holly powered up her cellphone and called Butler, "Butler, grab your sister and come over here, we have a rather difficult jigsaw puzzle to solve."
Some part of her brain that still remained the true Holly scolded her, again she was speaking like Artemis...
XxXxXxXxXx
Artemis woke.
He pushed the book off of him and rushed towards his bathroom and had a short shower.
After doing so, he got dressed in his LEP jumpsuit and almost broke speed limits trying to run to the police plaza.
He rushed inside the building and saw several new LEP recruits pushing convicts towards the jail cell.
He spotted his favourite criminal, Mulch Diggums, being shepherded by a very recent recruit to the LEP.
Mulch spotted Artemis, "Captain Fowl!"
"Hello Mulch, do you mind rolling up your sleeve?"
The dwarf rolled up his sleeve, there sat several golden watches.
"Hey how did you...?" asked the LEP recruit.
"My watch!" said another LEP recruit.
Mulch smiled a big toothy smile, "Can't help it, it's my nature."
The recruit pushed Mulch along and Artemis rushed towards his cubicle, perhaps he could make it past Roots office without...
"FOWL GET IN HERE!"
D'arvit
Artemis quickly walked into commander Root's office.
"Well?!" Root Demanded, his face a mask of purple, "What time do you call this?"
"Sir I'm 45 seconds late." said Artemis, a part of Artemis that still remained Artemis and had not adopted most of Holly's personality did a fist pump inside Artemis head, tonight was the night.
(I stole some of the lines from the Artemis Fowl graphic novel, its good, but strange, Holly doesn't have nut brown skin!)
Root's face got even deeper shade of purple, if thats even possible.
"Fowl!" He shouted, he was about to say something else but some bleeping phones on his desk started bleeping, and then a big screen behind him crackled to life.
He put all the phones on conference, "Yes?" asked Root.
"Sir, we've got a runner!" said caller one
"Anything on scopes?"
Scopes was the LEP name for the shrouded trackers attached to american satellites.
"Yep." Said caller 2, "Big blip in Europe, southern Italy, no shield."
Root cursed, what kind of idiot fairy didn't have his shield up on the surface?
"Classification?" demanded Root.
"Bad news commander," said the third caller, "We got us a rogue troll."
Root rubbed his eyes, why must these things happen on his watch?
The commander looked at Artemis, "We'll talk later Fowl, now go stop that troll!"
Artemis dashed out of the office and towards Foaly's ops booth.
XxXxXxXxXx
Artemis was handed a platinum handgun from Foaly.
"Heres the latest Neutrino blaster, the 2000."
Then Artemis was handed a large pair of old wings.
"Old model, the dragonfly, runs on gasoline if you can believe it."
Then he was handed his helmet, second best thing in an LEP arsenal.
"Alright, your shuttle in parked in E7, now go."
Foaly also handed him a set of shuttle ignition keys.
The LEP captain rushed down the hallway of the police building and towards the E7 chute, this was going to be tough.
XxXxXxXxXx
Done finally!
Well how was this?
Good or bad?
Let me know!
