A/N: After a long battle with writer's block and a long bout of depression, I'm finally back to writing. There are also a lot of things I need to inform you people of in response to your reviews and that will be in the 'Response to Reviews' section found below this A/N. Quite frankly, I'm ashamed I didn't notice them before, but I'm just an amateur writer so gimme a break! I haven't even finished one of my stories! By the way, this takes place as if the Eternity Code never happened. Another note to give you guys, THIS IS ONLY PART OF CHAPTER 4! THE ACTUAL CHAPTER 4 IS MUCH LONGER! I PUT THIS HERE TO RESPOND TO REVIEWS AND GIVE YOU A PEEK AT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!

The Response to Reviews!:

you know who i am man(Christopher Butler, a friend of mine)- Chris, there's this thing called a dictionary, use it. It's spelled D-I-C-T-I-O-N-A-R-Y. And learn to use punctuations. And you don't stand a chance with Sam Burgess, you're out of her league.

not-so-super-but-really-special-girl: Just for the record, Artemis doesn't walk around with a bullet in his shoulder all day. We'll just say he got healed on the way to Haven.

livy: Please take note that this is taking place a year after the Arctic Incident. This is to allow the idea of Artemis having a toned body and being able to use a firearm accurately plausible. Also, even before the Arctic Incident, Artemis was being trained by Butler, Eoin Colfer said so in the first book! And Artemis *promised* to himself on the train during the Arctic Incident that he would get a home gym. So of course I worked off that idea to make Artemis into an almost perfect criminal mastermind. I say almost because I have plans that utilize his faults. You'll see that in a later chapter, or chapters as the case may be. I had the storyline plotted out but I accidentally deleted it while cleaning out my hard drive. Suffice it to say, the house was full of profanities. Luckily I was alone. Sorry for being so long-winded. And now that I reread my story, Artemis is a bit more OOC than he should. So I'll try to make it more realistic. But I'm not making any promises.

Daniele: A lot of the answers to this were explained above. But I will repeat, *Artemis has become a lot tougher than he used to and another thing, anyone would be upset by getting shot.* And Butler didn't get upset, he got pissed! Who else shot the Man in Black's head off!? Artemis is groaning in pain, clutching his wound behind a column and the MIB certainly isn't going to shoot himself! Butler is the only other person there so it's quite obvious who shot who! And him knowing who was at the door, note the neutrino blasts. Mud Men don't use those kinds of weapons. Faeries do. So Artemis would be left to assume it's the LEP. Duh. Sorry for being rude. Plus, this is *my* fanfiction.

The Reviewer: A review that is worth responding to. Holly being run over by a cart and rampaging trolls has absolutely nothing to do with the mafia. This is touching on the Root and Holly have fallen prey to freak accidents thing. Root gets his later. And those guys in black, that was a mafia hit team, I was supposed to tell you folks that later on in this chapter, but I decided to clear that up now. Artemis has to get aboveground first. That may happen this chapter or next. BTW, I'm 13 and in the 7th grade. I didn't skip a grade, that'd be an act of God. And I didn't get held back, that'd be an act of procrastination, one of my closest friends.

PsychoDude: Thanks for the encouragement.

Lazer6eam: I'm happy you've kept with me throughout this fic sis! Couldn't have done this without your encouragement! (She isn't really my sister...we just refer to each other as brother and sister...only God knows why we do that...)

crazygirly007: Yet another dedicated fan that I thank.

Another A/N: I'm sorry to say, but I think I'm going to deviate from the no fluff plan. I like the Artemis/Holly pairing to much. Sorry to all those who don't like that pairing and didn't want any fluff. But I have one question that needs answering, how do you even get those other pairings? I mean, the book is obviously implying a relationship between Artemis and Holly and it doesn't even make a slight hint at other pairings and don't even get started on Chix Verbil, he's a total wannabe playboy.

And now your feature presentation.

Chapter 4: What the F**k?!

A/N: Some of you may have noticed that the chapter title is usually a line said by a character that has some importance, or has to do with a particular event. That much should be obvious. And I'm sure *all* of you have noticed my running joke on the LEP having a poor organizational system. Why I put this here is beyond me.

Back to your Feature Presentation.

*Room A395682, LEP Infirmary, Haven; 12:06*

Just then, from the room next door, they heard Chix Verbil say," My arms hurt, my legs hurt, my head hurts, my stomach hurts, Hell! Even my balls hurt!" Artemis, Holly, and Foaly were frozen, mouths open wide, amazed that the same exact words Artemis had used were repeated exactly word for word, then they burst out laughing like hyenas.

While they were laughing, Butler just stood there with a confused expression on his face seeing the three laugh like a wild pack of hyenas. Several thoughts were racing through his head, one was 'Are they drugged, or maybe are they *on* drugs?' and another was 'It's great to see Artemis finally laugh openly.' and his last thought was 'Where the Hell is the bathroom?' which had nothing to do with the trio of 'laughing hyenas'.

Just then Root walked in with a bandage wrapped around his head. His face was set in the usual angry look and his complexion resembled that of a shade of red commonly associated with apples. Needless to say, all the laughing stopped.

"Commander Root, what happened to your head?" Holly asked.

"I got hit over the head with a billboard thrown by a troll is what!" Root turned towards Foaly and yelled," Now Foaly, tell me what the Hell just happened out there!"

"You saw it firsthand, why do you need to ask me Julius?" Foaly said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"I know we were attacked by trolls! What I want to know is how they got into Haven without us knowing and *why* they were in Haven in the first place! And don't call me Julius!" he yelled out.

"Well, a Recon team found several large holes located along the outskirts of Haven and we believe they came in from there. We still don't have a why though. They got past the sensor array and the automated defenses because they came in *underneath* the sensors and defenses and emerged from behind. Our sensors only detect things coming from the tunnels we built and things above our ground level in Haven. Basically we had a blind spot that we didn't know of until now and they exploited it." Foaly replied.

"Grrr...I want those blind spots covered! And do a full search of our defense systems and find any other blind spots we need to cover up!" Julius yelled angrily.
