Televisions all around the world
"My name is General Alexander Garcia, recently information about a new species with 8 types of races or families as they call them have been distributed to the world by my order. The reason for this is that I am calling on the human race to take up arms against these creatures. They posses technology beyond us and even have special abilities, such as invisibility and a suggestive voice. They are a danger to our existence."
Images of numerous fairy fort battles and the siege at Fowl manor were displayed with the message, along with autopsy reports of elves and images of the DNA cannons and neutrino weapons.
"These weapons have an unknown destructive force but our group has prepared for this day and we are now calling for your help so we can eradicate this threat from the world!"
The message played over and over again all around the world on every news channel and website spreading far and wide till practically the whole world and heard the cry for a war with another species.
Everyone was taken aback by the message and yet something about the message made sense too many people more than Artemis would have liked. Lesser countries gave the general their backing some bigger countries were split. But one country that has always had a strange connection to magic kept its head, Ireland home of Fowl Manor and the Tara Fairy port gave its entire backing to the Fairies even going as far as lobbing the entire UK to defend them.
Isle of Man between Island and Great Britain
Artemis and Holly were with Ireland's government officials meeting with the Prime Minister and other government officials to discuss their allegiances with the People.
'"Will this work Arty?"
"I believe so Ireland has always had a certain affinity towards magic, you told me that and it seems that while not as strong the rest of the UK seems to also want to support us. I also here that because of this call for war by the General many states in the U.S. want to back us and others want to oppose. So much so in fact that whichever side wins the other is threatening to secede from the nations just to help us."
The Irish official overheard Artemis's statements, "Indeed Master Fowl we have heard the same thing the General had a camp in the western states but had to flee to New York because it is the western states that want to help us."
"How much support do we have exactly from the humans?" Holly asked a little afraid of the answer.
"Well Captain thanks to you and Master Fowl most of Europe will help you with a few hold outs, in Africa many countries are already fighting each other same in South America. We aren't sure where Asia stands but Russia doesn't seem to support us at all. Right now as it stands we have lots of support but not as many as we'd like. The General is moving fast to gain those who support him and quell those who are fighting them."
Artemis stood at the seriousness of the Irish diplomat's information, "The world is literally at war over the Fairy people and we have barely gotten involved."
"Artemis if we can't stop this war we have to do everything we can to end it fast and take down the General and his men.
"Agreed and we have set up numerous tunnels and access ways and have commissioned our resources to helping you guys set up a permanent base of operations at Fowl Manor."
Artemis looked at the official questioningly, "my house will belong to the fairies?"
"No need to worry Master Fowl the house will belong to the fairies but as liaison it will be under Fowl family control."
Under the table Holly squeezed Artemis's hand, "I don't mind that at all," she said smiling at Artemis which he couldn't help but look back at her with a smile as well.
Washington D.C.
"Are you mad?! We need to destroy this threat!"
"Nonsense these may not be humans but they are people, and they deserve rights. They have their own government our force they are ready and treat their way of life better than we do. We could learn from these people."
"We can't negotiate with these creatures they threaten our entire way of life."
"Exactly our races fought once before and they lost they probably want revenge."
"That was thousands of years ago we don't know what they want we must talk to them."
On and on this went for hours men shouting and arguing eventually the congressmen from California who supported Artemis took the floor with other California officials and other western states supporters.
"This Union has a tough choice we have mobilized our National Guard and military assets in our states if this Union does not support the Fairy people we have no other choice we shall secede from this nation."
This one statement silenced the whole room so bold and so unexpected. No state had done such since the civil war and now 15 states had already allied together to secede the nation. With this 4 other states voiced their backing to join them. Every state West of the Mississippi including Hawaii and Alaska backed the seceding states.
The silence was defining, after such a bold statement it wasn't smart to stay long, as such the seceding states officials walked out of the capital building to prepare for whatever comes next.
Artemis's Lab, Heaven City
Artemis's computers had been set to a specific timing and program to run, they hummed to life as they began the sequence set by their programmer. Slowing working reconstruction Opal's cloning pod with a new set of parameters not Opals and not Artemis's, but the DNA in the pod had already been set.
She won't like this, she'll definitely be mad at me but I know she will forgive me. Hell after this we should be able to spend our lives together.
The machines continued their work a timer appears above the cloning pods chamber "65 days"the counter read. Now who was Artemis already planning on cloning?
