So Sorry for not updating in days! I will now respond to reviews!
The Merciless Torturer- Sorry if I spelt you name wrong, I'm in a day camp so I still have time for writing fanfics, just not much. 8 hours a day (I get sat. and sun. off) of long hard dancing and singing! Whew! But it still is fun. I've made a lot of friends. I go back to school August 11th, so there will probably be more updates after then! Thanks for reviewing!
Goddess of Reviews-Thanks for being so eager. I'm not going anywhere for a while so don't worry. I'll try not to let the story go TOO long without an update.
cooolkid- Yes, I am going to make it H/A. I love that pair. I guess because there are SO many hints about it. Unfortunately, I can't check it EVERY day but I'll try my hardest to update ASAP.
Tie Kerl- Okay, Foaly IS a fairy. So I will change it. For now on, Holly's special Mesmer affects only pixies, sprites, goblins, elves, leprechauns, and some types of troll. Thanks for bringing that up!
Aks- Whoa, nice research! Does it say Jon Spiro is 5' 6"? I do agree on that though, but I hate math so I didn't really notice. I guess she was a meter in the AF books, but at the start of this story she was 4' 3" then she grew 10 inches so she is now 5'1". Anyways, great observation.
I plan for the story to be about, erm, 17 chapters or so. Maybe 20. And I'm not allowed to tell my age. It's a rule where I live. But I live in the USA, so that answers one question.
janey-the-suicidal-maniac- I agree that I am rushing myself. But it will slow down once I get through with Holly's training.
Auden- Ah, sorry. A/H is the main road here. But like I said, there will be H/T, so I don't believe you'll hate it SO much.
Kelaal- Yeah I decided to make the trio dress as chiefs, which you will discover why in a couple of chapters. I thought it as a joke to make Fowl a chief since in Eternity code, It implied that Artemis could not even make a sandwich!
Neo- Please don't die! I need all the fans I can get!
And I promised the bad guys in the last chappie so they will be in here.
And MULCH is in this chapter!
Okay that sums up the review stuff, so here is the Longley anticipated chapter 5.
CHAPTER 5
Holly had spent the next five days working on starting fires and by the time she got to the last level she had learned how to turn her hand into a flamethrower, turn out a fire with her mind, melt metal as well as ice, and make fireballs.
On the last level, she was trained in martial arts and sword fighting. When she was done with karate, Artemis decided to teach her fencing.
The two each picked up a thin sword.
"No protection?" asked Holly.
"Do you expect to wear all of that when you're in real trouble?" Artemis replied arching an eyebrow. Holly nodded.
"On-guard." Artemis announced. He advanced towards her and Holly put up her own sword.
"Nice try." She replied. Artemis grinned wickedly and did a motion that threw Holly's sword to the ground as well as herself.
"You have work to do." He said. Holly scowled.
"That was so cool." Muttered Trouble.
By the end of the day, Holly had become pretty sure of herself in fencing. She had disarmed her opponent almost every time, and even Trouble took a shot at it. But after a couple of rounds he announced that he was going to stick with a handy gun.
The next day was one that Holly waited for. The opstical course.
"Ready?" asked Foaly in her earpiece.
"Never better." Holly replied
HOWLERS PEAK
Opal Koboi was a very happy pixie. She giggled in her cell with the glass tube in her hand. She took out the slip of paper Car' Khl had given her.
Guntradsya Duneik, it said. (A/N I just created something, so if these are actual words in another language that mean something insulting I apologize in advance.)
Opal grinned and looked out of her cell. Everyone was asleep. A perfect time to activate it.
"Guntradsya Duneick!" she cried with the tube grasped in her hand. A silver color whipped around her turning her hair the color of snow and transforming her hazel eyes metallic silver. When it was over, Opal looked at the tube. Some of the fluid within was gone. Yet she felt something was gone from herself instead. And it was much to hot in the room. It had worked.
SOMEWHERE IN THE UNDERGROUND TUNNELS
"You know what you have to do little dwarf." Car' Khl growled.
Mulch scowled. "And If I don't what will you do. Burn me?" he chuckled.
Car' Khl grimaced. His gift of being a changeling took away his ability to throw flame balls like most goblins.
"No, but I'll impale and freeze you so I'd much rather go with my plan." He replied.
Mulch rolled his eyes. "I'm not going to betray my friends."
Car' khl grasped his hand around Mulch's neck. "You will. And you won't unhinge that jaw of yours either. I'll be watching."
And with that, Mulch took a cell phone with him as he headed to Haven. He had some debt to pay.
HAVEN
Holly ran forward on the thin walkway that was about 500 feet above plasma. So far so good. Foaly had given her nothing but a black leather jumpsuit. Suddenly a pixie shot a Neutrino beam at her. Holly rolled her eyes. Everything was about guns nowadays.
She shot a flame at the unfortunate fairy and her fell down. Holly snuffed out the flame mentally as she walked over him, leaving him with second- degree burns. He would live.
She walked through metal automatic doors and looked around. She was standing in a small room and there was a sword on the ground next to her. Ah, she thought. A fencing test.
A man popped out behind her and held his own sword to her neck (A/N I know that fencing swords can't really cut you, but let's pretend they 'aren't' using fencing swords.)
How could she be so stupid! But suddenly she remembered her training and knew what to do. She grasped the mans neck and the blade(very carefully) and threw the elf over her shoulder. He growled as he got up and swung his sword around. They spent about 3 minutes fighting until Holly slashed the fairy across the stomach. She dropped her sword and ran to the next corridor.
"If that was permanent," the male elf muttered. "I would be very unhappy."
The next corridor was a huge circular room. But it wasn't empty. About ten goblins were in it. They all shot flame balls at Holly but they didn't not affect her. She did the same and got the same result.
"Foaly, you really make it complicated." She shouted and kicked an approaching goblin in the chin.
Some more of the goblins charged at her but she knocked them all unconscious. The other two came and she cartwheeled them down. The one the had kicked in the chin was the only one left. She aimed at him and he stood stupidly staring at her. She did a spinning kick and he was out before he hit the ground.
Artemis and Trouble rushed in. "Congrats. You passed!" Trouble said.
Artemis hugged her tightly. "I had faith in you." He whispered and let go.
OPERATIONS BOOTH
When Artemis and Trouble were meeting Holly, Foaly got a phone message.
"Hello?" he said awkwardly.
"Is this Foaly?" asked the caller.
"Yes. Who is this?"
"Mulch." Mulch replied. "Listen. Opal Koboi has got this wacky new power. Artificial power. Car 'khl is out to kill Holly and he wants me to do it!"
"Why can't he disguise himself as you and kill her himself?" Foaly asked.
"He's not good at impressions. He was afraid you would know it was him and then he would be murdered."
"How do you know about Opal?"
"Car' Khl is working for her! He brought her that power thing. Wait..ahh..no!" There was a scream and a deep voice took over.
"Your friend ratted. Now he's dead. He paid the price." There was click and the dial tone took over.
A/N- Oh, I killed Mulch! I know, you hate me. But now that training is over, it will get GREAT! I promise! Please don't flame me for killing Mulch, It was quite necessary.
