Crossed Worlds, Chapter 2: The Energy

Quote (because I feel random): "Whenever there is a Fowl situation, its usually me who ends up saving you, usually in some ridiculously dangerous capacity"

~ Mulch Diggums, Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Captain Holly Short entered Fowl Manor, she had a disturbing sense that something was wrong. Then, as though he had been invisible the whole time, Artemis Fowl the second stepped from some of the natural shadows formed by the manor.

"Well, well, Captain"

He was wearing dark sunglasses that made it impossible to see his eyes and an equally indecipherable look on his face.

The sunglasses, were, of course designed to block the mesmer, but Holly took it all in stride.

"Fowl", she spat.

"What the heck are you doing with PLASMA???"

Unknown to the angry LEP captain, the floor underneath her was changing. Not visibly, of course, but components were shifting. Hydraulics hissed as an antenna-like device pointed at Holly from under the floor. Naturally, with almost everything Artemis built, it had been painfully constructed to spec, which meant the sound of the hydraulics did not carry into the manor.

"Holly, you are not to leave", Artemis intoned slowly.

"Nice try, Fowl"

You had to be looking a fairy directly in the eyes to give the said fairy a command. But, Holly had on a full LEP jumpsuit, which included a reflective visor.

Artemis knew that wouldn't work… Then why did he do it?? It could only mean that he wanted to delay…

Captain Short's train of thought was interrupted when the antenna device shot a beam of what looked like pure energy.

It immediately tore though the floorboards of Fowl Manor like they were wet cardboard, quickly enveloping Holly. She dropped to her knees and was immediately disappeared.
