Chapter One: The Discovery

As phones rang off the hook commander Root's face got red with anger when Foaly called him over and said "Julius, we just been detected again."

"Don't call me Julius!" shouted Root. "And what is this about us being detected again? Is it those damn humans."

"No….not exactly"

"Then who is it? Is it Artemis Fowl? I swear I'll grab the little boy and cho-"

"No sir it's not Artemis Fowl."

"Then who the hell is it!" said Root getting annoyed.

"I'm not sure who, but we have been detected by another underground empire that is now beginning to expand towards us, and it is definitely not one of our constructions."

"Then how do you know it's there?" questioned Root.

"There seems to be a large magical source originating from that area" explained Foaly.

" I don't want to risk too many officers on this case. But we need the very best, get Holly in here, brief her and tell her that we're going in."

******************************************************

Captain Holly Short had been sleeping at the moment, but was awakened by the sound of her phone ringing. She grumpily got out of bed and answered it, she was very surprised to hear Foaly's voice on the other line. She was even more surprised to be called in to work on her day off.

"What's the big emergency Foaly."

"I didn't mention any emergency."

"Then why do you need me at work on my day off?"

"Good point, anyway we need you to go with Root to check out something with a large magical source coming from it. We need you guys to confirm what it is."

"Whatever" grumbled Holly "I'll be right over." And with that she hung up.

**********************************

When she arrived at LEP headquarters she was surprised to see all the chaos. Phones going off, everyone running around and then there were the five officers that pulled her over the second she came in. "Are you ready to fly the shuttle captain?"

"I will be, as soon as you tell me where I'm flying to."

"Right" said the officer looking embarrassed.

The officers led Holly to chute E22 where she found a shuttle ready to go. Commander Root was there waiting for her. He handed her some coordinates and said:

"When we fly there we are going to observe, if it's some kind of city like ours than we go in shielded. Any questions?"

"No sir"

"Good then lets go."

And they both entered the craft completely unaware of what they were getting themselves into.
