This is becoming a habit of mine... Updating later and later... Well, I
guess that'll be because I haven't been on the computer much lately.
Thanks to Ud the Imp, CyootKitty and Zediir(1) for reviewing once again. And another big thank you to CyootKitty for helping me once again!!
Disclaimer(think I forgot to do it last time): Leo's Fire doesn't own anything in this chapter except the Rossi family. Artemis Fowl characters are owned by Eoin Colfer and Harry Potter characters by J.K. Rowling. Leo's Fire has no idea who owns the Beyblade characters though.

*~Underground, World of Artemis Fowl~*
The rumbling seemed to have stopped and Root peeked out from his hiding place. It seemed LEPretrieval One had temporarily delayed Opal Koboi from commanding the dim-witted goblins to destroy any more of LEP headquarters.
In another few minutes, another team of recon officers had removed the debris obstructing Root from Foaly's booth. The booth itself seemed untouched except for the area around it, dirt and bits of debris everywhere. He opened the door and entered but saw no-one there.
"Foaly! Get yourself out here!" Root called.
No smart reply. Root was starting to worry about Foaly and Holly was nowhere where Trouble had said he'd last seen her.
'Where could they have gone off to? Holly wouldn't disappear during such a time. Foaly prefers staying in the Ops booth. Opal can't have got them or she'd be telling us what to do while threatening to harm one of my best recon officers. Fowl has been mind-swiped so he don't remember anything at all along with Butler and his sister. But, then again, who can be sure if he remembers anything? Holly thought it was necessary to ask a few more questions,' Root pondered.
After that, he made his decision to check aboveground. Avoiding the fallen debris, he rushed to the nearest shuttle after imforming Trouble's younger brother, Grub Kelp, that he'd be taking a visit aboveground.
: : Fowl Manor : :
"Oh, dear, where could our dear Arty have disappeared off to?" Mrs. Fowl murmered to her husband.
"I'm not sure, darling. Butler, are you sure there wasn't some sort of glitch in the system?" Artemis Fowl I inquired the large man.
"Yes, I'm definate. Would you like to see the tape?" was the reply.
"No, I don't think there'll be any need. I'm sure you already did a good job of reviewing it," sighed Mr. Fowl.
Butler was running possibilities through his mind about what could've happened to his employer. The only solutions he could come up with were an UFO abduction and there was a problem with the camera which he couldn't find. He very much doubted either of those answers, as he didn't believe in UFOs, martians, Loch Ness, Big Foot or other magical beings, and he would be able to find what the problem with the camera was in a second; if there was one. Butler replayed the tape in his mind.
[ Flashback ]
Artemis walked into the study and switched on his computer. He seated himself comfortably on the chair and didn't have to wait long before Artemis logged onto the internet. The camera picked up what he was searching for, online games. Then, in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from the recorded footage and his computer was also off.
[ End Flashback ]
Butler also remembered checking it again but also checking the time in the corner to see if the camera had stopped for even a few seconds but to no avail. The camera was running perfectly while it recorded the disappearance of Artemis Fowl II.
Butler mentally sighed and left the room. He exited out the front door so he could have a bit of fresh air. Maybe that'd give him some help thinking.
He went through the front door and was greeted by the cool night air, twinkling stars and darkness created by the limited amount of light the moon could provide. What he didn't expect, though, was a small man appearing in front of him.
"Butler, it's been a while," the man said.
"Who are you? You know you're on private property?" Butler roughly said.
"Oh, that's not a very nice way to greet your old friend. Anyway, I believe you currently have one of my best recon officers and that centuar under hostage.
Butler looked slightly confused at what this little man was saying but tried his best not to show it.
The trespasser noticed this and said, "Now, don't play dumb with me, Butler. I'm quite certain you have Captain Holly Short and Foaly here."
A spark went off in Butler's mind and everything memory back to him - his battle with a troll, his aid with the B'wa Kell incident, the mind-swiping part... Butler's face wrinkled in disgust as he recalled a certain memory.
"I wish I hadn't recalled Mulch donating that fat to my face," Butler groaned.
Root chuckled before going serious again, "Now, about my officer..."
"I have no idea what you're talking about. We're currently worried about Artemis' disappearance."
"Oh, you mean to say Artemis has disappeared along with Holly and Foaly?" the commander asked with a hint of concern in his voice, mainly for Holly and Foaly.
Butler replied with a simple nod. Light from the entrance radiated into the darkness as the door swung open behind him.
*~Gryffindor common room, World of Harry Potter~*
"Anyone seen Ron, Harry or Hermione today?"
"No, actually. They weren't seen during any of our classes. I wonder where they've gone?"
Every Gryffindor in the common room, who knew the trio, were asking eachother the same question. Hermione, Harry and Ron hadn't been seen since after lunch. Their disappearance had also been noted by each of their classes and lost their own house a total loss of 150 points during a single day.
Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had been against Slytherin and for Gryffindor for as long as they could remember but Gryffindor was falling behind all the other houses in points rapidly while Slytherin had gained a small lead.
"I'm going to kill them for losing us so many points if it's the last thing I do!" Parvati declared.
Lavander sighed but agreed silently in her mind. If they weren't back any time soon, Gryffindor would lose their winning streak consisting of five years in a row, Slytherin would win and they'd be gloating for who knew how long!
*~Village, World Of Beyblade~*
It was very late at night/very early in the morning, as it was 1:00am. Lee had locked the door several hours earlier and fallen asleep straight after. Lee was worried sick about the duo but Gary and Kevin didn't know about it yet since they had both gone to bed before Lee had a chance to tell them. Nobody in the village had realised the two beybladers had disappeared either but it was only the first night.
'Maybe they'll be back in the morning,' was Lee's last thought before he fell into a slumber.
*~Australia, World of humans~*
Mr and Mrs Rossi had long since discovered the disappearance of their daughter, Danielle.
[Flashback]
Robert, Danielle's father, had called her down for lunch but there had been no answer so Lila Rossi sent Danielle's younger brother, Antonio, to check up on her. Antonio opened the door and prepared to jump onto her bed in case she was still asleep but saw she wasn't in the room. All her gifts were open and lying around on her bed while her discman was on the carpeted ground by the computer desk. The sight of his sister's opened gifts were too tempting for him to stay away from and he started looking through all of Danielle's presents.
"Antonio? Where's your sister?" Lila called from the dining table downstairs.
Antonio put down the Lord Of The Rings II DVD as he heard his mother's voice.
"I'm not sure! She's not in her room!" he shouted in reply.
Antonio started to look around the calming green room of his sister's. There were posters of various creatures, such as dolphins, tigers and wolves, singers and actresses, like Eminem, Jennifer Garner and 50 Cent. There were also many CDs piled in a corner, magazines, a radio, plush animal toys and an art kit piled in another corner. There was nothing about anime nor novels. Antonio quickly got out of the room as he heard his mother's footsteps coming up the wooden stairs.
[End flashback]
Richard and Lila Rossi were trying to figure out what to do next. What would happen if they called the police and Danielle appeared? They'd be fined for using up valuable police time. What would happen if they called the police and Danielle was kidnapped? She'd be found and the kidnapper would be placed in jail. But what if...
Those kind of thoughts were running through her parents' heads while Antonio was simply wondering where his big sister had gone off to.

(1)I've looked at your suggestion for the title of this fic and... I'm sorry but it didn't seem to fit into my story. Thanks for suggesting it anyway.
Ok, as I said in the previous chapter. Here's a summery of Beyblade I managed to put together with a bit of help from a site called Beyblade Spirit. It was extremely useful. The URL is below. Just copy and paste:-
Beyblading is a sport involving spinning tops called beyblades. They are made up of 5 main parts. These are the bitchip, attack ring, weight disk, spin gear and blade base.
Bitchip: Bitchips are chips that contain bitbeasts in the beyblade. It is placed in the attack ring. On the show, bitbeasts are magical creatures with immense power. The evil side has tried taking over the world on several occassions using bitbeasts.
Attack ring: The bitchip is places into the center of the attack ring. The attack ring determines the beyblade's attack power. Not all attack rings are the same. Certain attack rings can weigh the spin time down while others can give offensive power to low the opponent's endurance. Most attack rings have spikes.
Weight disk: The part of a beyblade that is fully metal is the weight disk. The beyblade would discontinue to spin after a few seconds without a weight disk. The weight disk goes underneath the attack ring and joins with the spin gear. Sometimes weight disks can determine the movement of the beyblade, along with the blade base.
Spin gear: The two types of spin gears are Left and Right. These determine which direction the beyblade will spin in. This is the main part that holds the beyblade together. It slides through the weight disk on two seperate holders.
Blade base: The beyblade's movement patterns are determined by the blade base. There are many different types of blade bases, such as rubber tips, plastic tips, thick, thin, small, large and more. Depending on what kind of blade base tip the beyblade has, it can make the attacks very unique in style and power. The spin time is very important in beyblading.
The main characters from Beyblade I have chosen for this fic are Ray and Mariah.
Ray is a member of the Bladebreakers. The captain is Kai. Ray's bitbeast is Driger, which is tiger. His specialty in blading is attack.Ray has known Mariah since early childhood but left soon after recieving Driger. Driger was a bitbeast that had been passed down from elder to elder in the village Ray and Mariah lived in. He was passed down to Ray as he had the most potential as a blader out of Gary, Mariah, Lee and Kevin. Lee expected Diger to be handed down to him but felt happy for Ray since Ray was Lee's best friend. Lee felt betrayed when Ray left soon after. Ray's reason for leaving the village was so he could expand his horizons and learn more about beyblading.
Mariah is a member of the White Tigers. The captain of that team is Lee. Her bitbeast is Galux, a cheetah. Her specialty is attack. She has known Ray since, as mentioned before, early childhood but felt betrayed by Ray for leaving the village shortly after recieving Driger, although not as betrayed as Lee felt. She forgave Ray during the Asian tournament in season 1 of Beyblade after Ray gave her his reasons for leaving while they beybattled their best in the second round of the finals.
