Duskynite: Just finished reading' The Eternity Code'. Does anyone know if
there's another coming out? Oh yes, this is my first Artemis Fowl fic.
SIDE NOTE! I said in the beginning that Demeter had black eyes, then said
later that her eyes were gray! Sorry! They are supposed to be black! If I
made any other typos, I apologize. My bad.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Artemis Fowl or any of the characters. I do own Aunt Katherine, Uncle Joseph, Ryu Koanoshi, and Demeter.
Ice Raider: Thanks for the review!! Yes, it is a little unbelievable that Artemis would let his computer be hackable-but remember, Demeter is his cousin. If anyone can figure out how to hack him, it's her.
Chrysgirl- =D Glad you like! I'm updating as fast as I can!
Big Friendly Walrus- THIS IS NOT A MARY SUE! Ha! Could someone let me know if I start to stray into that territory though?
Oh, one more thing. Tamogatchi is not mine either. You know, those little digital pet thingies from way back when? Don't own em either.
Chapter Three:
Captain Holly Short had a strange sense of déjà vu, sitting in the office of Artemis Fowl. The boy genius was already barking out orders to Butler-whom Holly was relieved to see-and the Mouse Girl-Demeter?
"Captain Short, I need communication with Foaly. Hook me up," Artemis ordered, snapping the elf out of her reverie. Holly alighted on the table beside the computer and hooked up what looked like a small alarm clock. A minute later, Foaly's face flickered onto the screen. Demeter jumped back and Ryu drew his weapon.
"Easy, Koanoshi," Butler warned. The younger bodyguard put his gun away, albeit a bit sheepishly. Demeter stared at the centaur's face, her jaw hanging slack.
"Short!" Foaly cried. "Where in Frond's name have you been?!"
"Getting help. Foaly, I've got Fowl."
"Finally. Artemis, you there?"
"Quite, Mr. Foaly. What's the situation?"
"In a word? Hell. Everything has been short-circuiting for Frond knows how long. The bomb squad is going mad and the death toll keeps rising."
"The fundamentals, Foaly, we need the fundamentals!" Artemis shouted, nearly rattling the monitor.
"Right, right, fundamentals," Foaly started tapping away on the other side, and soon multiple screens with scrolling figures popped up all over the monitor.
"As you can see, the invaders were like a primitive species of the People," Foaly explained rapidly. "They spoke in a language similar to our own, but not.the same, I guess. Their technology is pretty advanced, which disturbs me. Something as basic as these guys shouldn't have weapons and machinery as good as what they had."
"What'd they have?"
"Fire-bomb throwers that would make the Neutrino 2000 seem like a plaything, computerized vessels similar to that of a Mud-Man bulldozer. You name it, they had it."
"Tamogatchi?" Demeter asked, popping up from under the computer table, where she had been hooking up some sort of copying device.
"D'Arvit!" Foaly jumped back. "Holly! A Mud-Girl!"
"Mouse Girl, more like it. Foaly, this is Artemis's cousin, Demeter. She's been sending the rodents down our shafts."
Foaly glared at Demeter, who stared innocently back. Artemis growled under his breath and pushed her aside.
"We have no time for foolish banter, Demeter," he warned. "You are no longer needed. Leave."
"No. I got you into this, I'm staying!"
"Out!"
"NO!"
"They're RELATED?" Foaly squeaked. Holly rolled her eyes.
"Yes. And she's the NICE one." That said as Demeter wacked Artemis upside the head with the picture.
"Okay, okay, THAT'S ENOUGH!" Foaly bellowed. Both children froze.
"Fowl, we need your genius down here in the Haven. Captain Short is going to beam you down, along with the big guy if he wants to come."
Butler nodded.
"How 'Star Trek'," Demeter sneered, crossing her arms grumpily. Holly gave her a look.
"Maybe, you'll get to decide for yourself."
"I'm coming?" Demeter's face lit up, giving her the appearance of a six year old at Christmas.
"She's coming?" Artemis didn't look half as pleased. "She will be a burden!"
"Her spies were the only ones that actually saw the assailants, and she's been gathering some information on what she saw. Mouse will be useful."
"If Miss Demeter is going down there, then I'm coming to." Ryu added. Holly nodded.
"Fine, fine, just get down here!" Foaly ordered as the screen jumped and fizzled. Holly unplugged it and stuck it back in her pack.
"You heard him, let's go!" Holly jumped off the table and pulled out the camo-foil. This was going to be a LONG haul, even if it was just to the nearest shaft sight.
"What about our parents, though?" Demeter asked. "They'll notice we're gone."
"I'll do a time freeze," Holly promised, grabbing the girl and winding her up in the foil. Once she had the two children and the two bodyguards pretty much entirely invisible, she hooked them to her belt, took a deep breath, and launched herself into the air.
"D'Arvit!" She swore. Even weighing only a fraction of their normal weight, the four Mud People weighed much more than what she was used to. She flew down the stairs, shielding herself as she flew and casting the time freeze as they bolted out the door.
Demeter goggled at the world flying by below her. She was too fascinated with this whole turn of events to be queasy. She looked over at her cousin, who was staring straight ahead.
"This is AMAZING!" She whispered. He glared stonily at her.
"It's a mere pro-"
"NO, you nimrod, not the science of it, the view! Do you realize we are FLYING? Can't you appreciate anything that doesn't have microchips or gold involved?"
Artemis stared blankly at her. Demeter sighed and turned back to her sightseeing. She hadn't expected to do THIS when she began sending her mice down the strange shafts she had found in the trees behind her manor. The mice had returned bearing the strangest sights. A world underground that seemed to function almost independently from the world she knew. Now, she was about to see it for herself.
"One question, will we fit down there? She asked suddenly.
"Yes," Holly replied curtly. "Your body mass will condense to accommodate to the Haven, but your size right now shouldn't change much." She swung in a large arc around what looked like the top of a hollow tree. Artemis paled.
"You will NOT-!"
"See you at HQ, Fowl," Holly gave him a smirk as she unhooked the sling. The four humans flew down through the air and disappeared into the chute.
"They scream rather loud, don't they?" Holly asked Foaly, who was howling with laughter on her monitor.
"That was cruel, Holly, plain evil."
"I've been dying to do something like that to Fowl ever since I met him. He needs a good blast of fear. Too bad I had to involve Butler in it, though. He'll probably be mad at me for it now."
"And the girl?
"Mouse? She'll be fine; she seems like a tough girl."
"With Fowl for a cousin, she needs it," Foaly muttered as Holly dove into the shaft after the Mud People. The first Mud People to ever see, let alone enter, the Haven.
Duskynite: Bleh, not much action yet. Working on it!!!! Reviews please, I live off 'em! Constructive criticism only. This is my first AF fic and flames will make me cry!!! Lol!
