A/n: Sorry it's been so long since I've updated, I was away on a school trip for a week. Well, here's chapter five!

CHAPTER 5: FINDING YTRA

POLICE PLAZA, OP BOOTH

There was a rare scene in the operations booth, Root was helping

Foaly with finding out who and where Ytra was.

"Hey Foaly! I've got it!" Root yelled.

"What did you find?" Foaly asked.

"Ytra backwards spells Arty! Artemis Fowl's Nickname! He's Ytra!" Root

explained, "We have to arrest him! Now!"

Suddenly a tremendous explosion rocked the entire city. Alarms went

off everywhere, shrieks and curses filled the air. Everyone in police

plaza drew their sidearm. When the dust settled, the reinforced doors

were gone. In their place was a small, slender, shiny craft, with no

weapons visible. A door opened, and a fairy came out in what was a

LEP above ground suit.

The fairy said in gnomish, "Commander Root, surrender."

"Never." Came the reply.

"Very well then." The fairy said.

The fairy got back in its craft. The LEP opened fire on the small ship.

No matter how many shots they fired, the beams would bend away

from the craft. Every time the ship returned fire, a LEP officer would

fall to the ground, until only Root and Foaly remained. The fairy got

out of the ship.

"Now will you surrender?" It inquired.

"No, there is only one person we have lost to, and you shall not make

it two." Root retorted.

"Even if I do beat you, you shall have still only lost to one creature."

The fairy informed Root.

"Fowl." Root muttered, "D'arvit you've got us where you want us

again, don't you, you're holding captain Short hostage, you have

Haven at your disposal, and you have duplicated Mulch."

"You're wrong there about everything but the part about Haven."

Artemis said. "So, either you can get taken hostage, or you can return

the duplicator to me."

"We don't have your duplicator, Artemis."

And with that, he let loose a round at Artemis. The instant his finger

hit the trigger, Butler grabbed Artemis and pulled him into the

Atomizer, just in time. Then the Atomizer disappeared.

UNKNOWN LOCATION

Holly was trying to find a way out of her cell. The walls were very

solid, they sloped up to form a triangular prism, with a small hole at

the top.

"Grappa, how big is that hole?"

"GRAPPA doesn't know Shortyshort."

"Why did I tell you my name?"

"GRAPPA doesn't know Shortyshort."

~SMACK~

"Oh no, Shortyshort hit GRAPPA again! Shortyshorty must say sorry."

~CHOKE THUD~

"Take that Shortyshort!"
