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! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ROOT!! I haven't kill him off just yet (even if it does look like it)

Big Friendly Walrus- ..not even going to deal with you. That goes to anyone else who remains in firm belief that this is a Mary Sue. Demeter is too whiny to be a good Mary Sue, I'm afraid.

Snake-eyes1013-THANK YOU!! I LIKE IT TO!!! Lol!

Becca- HALLELUJAH, another Artemis Fowl book is being made! YES! Thank you for telling me!!!!

Chapter Five:

Artemis groaned and sat up, cradling his aching head. Looking around, he could blearily see the scene of chaos around him. The monsters were gone- obviously-but had left a solid coating of that sticky goo all over the place. There was yet another crater-a bigger one, this time- in the ground, and everything around it was flattened.

"Okay, that was unpleasant," Holly grumbled, sitting up a couple yards away. She glared at Artemis as soon as she could see straight. "Remind me not to listen to you again."

"It was necessary to rid us of those.things." Artemis replied calmly, standing and brushing some of the ropy gunk off his clothes. Butler loomed up behind him, still looking around warily. Ryu was leaning against and twisted pillar of metal, looking mildly shellshocked.

"AUGH! EW GROSS!" Demeter shrieked from a little ways away. She was totally unrecognizable, swollen and red. Artemis resisted the urge to burst out laughing.

"You apparently are having an allergic reaction to the substance, whatever it is." He commented.

"Ya think?" Demeter howled. "I'm as RED as a TOMATO and I'm SWOLLEN like a BALLOON!!!" She slipped and fell back into the gunk, looking completely miserable. Artemis snorted, failing in his attempt not to laugh.

"Oh, give Mouse a break," Holly snapped, handing a handkerchief to the girl. Artemis rolled his eyes and forced the warped Ops door open.

"Foaly, you alright?"

Foaly gave him a look, heaving a shelf back into place. Artemis took that as a 'yes' and closed the door again.

"Okay, so we know that Spiro DOES have a copy of the C Cube, and he's the one controlling these, these, things." Holly sighed and cleaned her Neutrino. "Guess we'll be paying him a visit, won't we?"

"It seems most logical to do that, don't you think?" Artemis asked. The elf just gave him a nasty look and turned to Butler.

"Is Juliet in the U.S. still?"

"Yes," Butler nodded, frowning. "Will we need her help?"

"It's possible," Holly nodded. She stomped into Ops-stomping only to get the gunk off her boots-and barked, "Foaly, we need an open shaft into Chicago!"

Artemis looked over at his cousin, who now resembled something like a red smurf, and smiled a little sardonically.

"Having fun?"

"Loads," she retorted, wrinkling her nose. Apparently the world of fairies wasn't as idealized as she had thought.

Duskynite: SORRY! Short chapter, I know. Can't help it. I'm going away tomorra for a week, so no chappies till after I get back. Bai Bai!
