Fire Goddess 2- Hero in Training

HAVEN CITY: OPERATIONS BOOTH

"Oh, Foaly. Another test!" said Captain Holly Short of LEPrecon. Foaly the centaur was putting suction cups on Holly's head and shoulders.

"No, I just want to hook you up for no reason whatsoever." replied Foaly sarcastically. Holly rolled her eyes and picked up an issue of New Neutrinos. Foaly clip-clopped over to his computer. After a few minutes, he pulled the cups off of the LEP officer.

"You know, Foaly. I haven't seen my friends in ages because of all of this testing." Holly said.

"Hmmp. Oh, well. You can have a social life later." Foaly said. Holly stood up.

"You said that two months ago! It is later now!" she shouted and stormed off through the pneumatic doors.

Foaly picked up a clipboard. "Day 42." he muttered, writing it down. "Attitude, mad. Like the 41 other days. Well, wha'd ya know." The centaur thought for a moment. "I better contact an old friend."

FOWL MANOR

Artemis Fowl II sat in front of his computer, his fingers flying across the keyboard. Why, he thought, was he writing a book. The 15-year-old sat there pondering this for many moments.

"I want gold, and the best I can do is write a book on famous people." he said outloud, when an icon flashed in a corner.

YOU HAVE MAIL! YOU HAVE MAIL! YOU HAVE MAIL! YOU HAVE MAIL! It flashed.

Artemis clicked on the button. To his surprise it was a message from Foaly-

Fowl STOP, holly training STOP. Me want help STOP. Cum 2 havn STOP. U can b helpful STOP. C u there n a few min. STOP.

Foaly STOP

"Stop what?" Artemis said to himself sarcastically. All of a sudden, there was a flash of light. Artemis felt like he was falling and spinning. The Fowl boy felt very dizzy. And by all miracles, he landed in a chair in OpS.

POLICE PLAZA HALLWAY

Holly was walking down a PP hallway drinking Tara spring water when a familiar face stopped her.

"Hello, Holly I haven't seen you in ages!" said Trouble Kelp. "You did something with your hair. And you're not 2 feet shorter then me either."

Holly snorted. Trouble had always been 5'2". She hated having to look up at him all of the time. It was excellent that they were now the same height now.

"Hi, Trouble. Foaly's been doing all of these tests and stuff." Holly replied.

"Oh. What kind of t-te-st...." Trouble tried to speak, but he was lost for words. As soon as her saw her eyes, his brain seemed to turn to mush.

"Uh, Trouble...what's wrong?" asked Holly cautiously. But the Retrieval captain would not tear his light blue eyes off of her red-orange ones.

"Everything is wonderful." Replied Trouble mechanically.

Holly raised an eyebrow. Trouble started walking towards her. Literally and figuratively.

"Trouble, stay back." She said, her hand grasping her Neutrino handle.

"Why." Trouble said dreamily.

Okay, this is just weird, thought Holly and she pulled out her Neutrino and pointed it at Kelp's head.

"You run, I chase, got it, good. Run!" said Holly quickly, and she ran fast at him. Captain Kelp's eyes widened and he turned on his heel and ran. But as soon as he turned around he thought, Why am I running? He ran his fingers through his blonde hair. But as soon as he saw a gun pointed at his head and a voice that said "Run, Kelp, run," he didn't need answers. So Holly chased him to the only place she thought would be able to sort this out- operations booth.

OPERATIONS BOOTH

"So, why exactly am I here?" Artemis asked.

Foaly looked thoughtful. "Holly has more then just a new look you know. She has some fire within that soul of hers. And I think I can let it out." He said.

"So when will she be here?" Artemis said.

"Any minute now." Said Foaly. And almost instantly a fairy about Artemis's height clambered through the door. He drew his own Neutrino as he went to a far wall.

"Why, Captain Kelp. What is going on here-." Foaly said. But Holly ran through the door interrupting him. She had a gun in her hand. Foaly rolled his eyes and stuck a hoofed leg out. In Holly's running, she tripped over it and fell on her back.

"I know Trouble's here." She said fiercely. Captain Kelp backed up.

"There's no trouble here." Artemis said raising an eyebrow.

Holly clambered to her feet. "He's been acting freaky." She said pointing her gun at Trouble.

"Trouble?" Foaly asked.

"Okay! What is trouble?" Artemis said standing up.

Holly hadn't noticed the human was there until then. "Artemis. Hi." She said breathlessly.

"Hello Holly. Long time no see." Artemis said with a small smile.

"Two months is a long time?" asked Holly.

"It can be. Now what is trouble?"

Holly nodded at Trouble and they both put their pistols away. "He is." She said simply grabbing Kelp's arm and pulling him forward.

"But he can't be trouble if he's in LEP." Artemis said.

Trouble smacked his forehead. "No,' he said. "Trouble is my name. Captain Trouble Kelp. I'm in Retrieval. Wait a second. Your a Mud Boy! "

Artemis nodded. "Clever. I'm Artemis Fowl. Retrieval, eh? You must know Butler."

Trouble scowled. Artemis's manservant Butler had totally wiped out his squad 3 years before.

"Why are you here? Come to take more gold?" he said through gritted teeth.

"Hardly." Artemis said smirking. "I've here to help Holly with her training."
