"Reaper, I think I see the pearly gates!" Wraith exclaimed as he lay on the ground.
"Wraith, I see Satan's domain, and I'm okay with that. I'm coming devil man, just wait up for me!" Reaper was on his back, reaching up for the sky. "Wraith, there's something I need you to know before I die…"
"What is it?" Wraith asked, Reaper saw him rolling on his side to look at him.
"You're my best friend man…I don't think we're going to see each other ever again so I thought you should know that…"
"Oh get over it already, my god. What is wrong with you two?" Reaper saw Doodah Day standing over him and glaring at the mercenary.
"Way to kill the moment there, buddy," Reaper said, sitting up. He felt truly sick to his stomach but he couldn't throw up in his mask. He couldn't let the fairy see what his face looked like either, that took all the mystery out of Reaper as a mercenary.
"Yeah, yeah call me evil and all that. I just need you two to get out of here soon, your transportation is just outside the base." Reaper watched as Doodah Day kicked Wraith.
Wraith automatically sat up, "I'm awake, not dying. Where are we again? Who am I now?"
"Wraith, stop screwing around, we've got work to do." Reaper stood up, brushing off his trench coat.
"Oh come on, screwing around on the job is one of my best qualities." Wraith said, getting to his feet.
"I fear for the world when you actually produce spawn Wraith." Reaper chuckled, stepping out of the pod as Doodah Day opened the doors.
"You think you're the only one that fears that day? Trust me I'm not looking forward to that ever." Wraith stepped out into the landing station.
Reaper looked around, there wasn't much to it really, it was cleaner then the one they usually went to when they met with Foaly and Kelp. As they walked to the door Doodah Day stopped them, "Wait a minute, Foaly wanted me to give you this." He sounded hesitant and resistant to say those few words.
"What did he want you to give us?" Reaper asked, he saw the pixie's face contort in a tangent of emotional pain
Doodah Day said nothing, holding out his hand and in it was a thin black box with a spike on the bottom. "What is it?" Wraith asked, hovering over Reaper's shoulder.
"A mongocharger," Doodah Day said through gritted teeth, "It boosts any vehicle's speed immensely. Foaly managed to convince me to give this to you, but if you so much as damage it in any way I'll make sure that you two will regret it."
"Right," Reaper nodded, he could tell the pixie wasn't joking. "Did Foaly give us any conditions to use the mongocharger or can we just use it for personal amusement?"
Doodah Day shook his head, explaining, "He said that you can only use it for top priority emergencies. He said that if you run into a situation like you did last time then you might want to use it considering the kind of transportation he got for the two of you."
Reaper sighed, pocketing the mongocharger and going through the exit, Wraith was close behind. He wondered what kind of transportation the centaur got for them, knowing Foaly it would probably be something he'd be embarrassed to be seen in. The door opened and Reaper looked around. The area was beautiful; he must have been in the Irish countryside because there wasn't a road to be seen. He didn't particularly care at that moment because he was taking in the rolling mounds of fresh green and patches of flowers around the building. He took in a breath of fresh air, it was cleaner then he had expected. He could have lost himself in that field but he shook his head, remembering that the job came first. He pressed a button on the side of his mask, "Foaly," he started, "We're at Ireland, though I think my stomach was left back at the station. Either way we need to know where our transport is so we can get to the Fowl residence."
Foaly's voice crackled onto the masks, "Right, you need to head maybe two miles north of here. You'll find it on the side of the road; the instructions to get to the Fowl home will be in the glove compartment. I'll send the notification that you're coming to Artemis in a little while."
"Alright, just be sure to send it before we arrive. I don't want to find a gun pointed in my face when I knock on the front door." Reaper said as he cut the link.
Wraith shouldered his M-16, "Well we have a bit of a hike on our hands, let's get moving."
Wraith made sure he still had the jamming device, "Yeah, I can't wait to see what transportation Foaly has waiting for us." They walked over a few hills, the HUD on their masks showed them which way was north. Reaper admired the scenery as he moved along, he had never been to Ireland before and he truly appreciated the tranquility of the place he was in. Reaper lit a cigarette, putting it in his mouth. The two remained silent as they continued to the road.
When Reaper saw their mode of transportation the cigarette in his mouth fell out and he stepped on it before it could make the grass catch on fire. He looked at the car they would be driving, a small yellow classic Volkswagen buggy, it was covered in dust and mud while one of the lights was out. The sunroof looked as if it was stuck open. All in all it was a piece of garbage that looked as if it wouldn't top out at 60 miles per hour. Reaper could tell why Foaly wanted them to have the mongocharger, he wasn't surprised at this though. He knew Foaly would pick something that would make the two mercenaries look ridiculous.
"Well, this is slightly disappointing." Wraith said when he looked inside the car.
Reaper looked in as well, the inside was dirty, immensely so. It had been torn up by the elements. The only two seats that weren't completely destroyed were the two front seats. Reaper got in on the driver's side, opening up the glove compartment while Wraith got in on the passenger's side. He pulled out a map, "At least this is in good enough condition." Reaper said, unfolding it. He studied the map quickly, handing it over to Wraith, "Read me the instructions as we get there." He said as Wraith began looking at the map.
Wraith nodded, as the Reaper started the car, a cloud of smoke came from the back. "Well, suddenly I'm fearful for my life," Wraith said, not bothering to look back at the cloud.
"Stop complaining Wraith, at this point should we really be surprised?" Reaper said as he began driving. The care coughed a few times as they started down the road. Wraith began reading off the instructions on the map as they continued on.
