AN: Look, just because I have a group for the stories doesn't mean that I don't like reviews, please keep reviewing this, please! They let me know that this is still working. Sorry it's a short chapter, it just doesn't want to be longer.

Ronin100-Yeah, I know what you mean, especially when it doesn't really hurt anyone, just humiliates them!

He relaxed slightly as the ship settled into stable flight and Nicole took over the controls.

"Okay, where do we head to now, the fairies don't like us and the only other option is a criminal."

"Artemis Fowl is, according to the LEP's records under the influence of something called a mindwipe, we could eliminate the block and he should be more friendly and helpful."

"How do we do that one?"

"I have just the thing in this ship, the basic device is standard equipment, I can instruct you in how to modify it for use in this situation," Nicole responded, "As you would put it, a piece of cake, and then you would probably make some comment about how boring it was."

"I am not that bad!"

"Look, the Sonic I knew before ending up in your position is just as bad if not worse."

"Alright already," Xander snorted back as he forced himself to relax, "What's our ETA?"

"Fifteen minutes and closing, I'm taking an indirect route to prevent our destination from being predicted by the fairies."

The shuttle descended slowly above the mansion, the soft whine of the engines the only noise besides the slight rustling of the bushes. The cloaking distorting the air slightly as it moved.

The top hatch opened as the gunship leveled off aligned with the roof, Xander finished latching on the wings and fitting the headset on before leaping.

His boots touched the reinforced roofing as he brought the fairy rifle to bear, the headset feed linking in to Nicole who was once more at his belt.

"You patched in yet," he asked with a calm smile.

"I've been in since before we landed, this stuff is 'quite' primitive compared to what I was used to on Mobius."

"No need to get rude, just tell me what I need to do now," he responded as he knelt besides the rooftop entrance.

"Entrance unlocked, internal security disabled," she answered with a sigh, "I could have done that while powered down."

Slipping inside, Nicole triggered the cloaking field she had used before. The pair, AI and human, moved without noise. A slight sound alerted him to the presence of others up ahead and in the room he was heading for.

"Nicole, scan and identify," he whispered into the mike.

A moment later, she responded, "One female, name Juliet Butler, Two males, names Domonovoi Butler and Artemis Fowl, they seem to be discussing some sort of mirrored contact lenses, the files I acquired from the Fairy computers does list that Artemis Fowl used mirrored sunglasses to protect himself from Fairy abilities, namely Mesmer, but I am uncertain what this is about directly, but I believe it may have something to do with his own plan on recovering his memories."

"Then we deal with this now," he answered back, "How do we restore the memories?"

"The modifications you made to my holoprojector will allow me to use that to release the memories, but it will leave them unconscious for a few moments."

"What do I have to do?"

"I need to be within view of them, they have to be able to see the pulse."

"Wonderful, I need to reveal myself."

"Unfortunately, I cannot do the flash and maintain the cloak without a second projector."

"Hardware limitations, just great, the one thing I didn't totally expect."

"Yes, well, I do have a few upgrades I would like your help with when there is time, namely work on a dimensional gateway generator modification to record dimensional variances and a shield generator."

"I'll try when we have time, but for now, let's do this!"

He moved quickly, the doors card lock was open and the scanners for it were offline as were all the electronic parts. He leveled off the fairy rifle and set it to the smallest setting and fired a short burst into the key lock, eliminating it in a flash.

All three occupants turned towards him as he stepped in, the holographic cloak vanishing to be replaced by a flash of blue light.

A moment later, Xander could see again, noticing the three were on the floor, asleep.

"How long?"

"Seven or eight minutes, depends upon how long their minds work around this, but most likely the Butlers will awaken first, Artemis is unusually smart, but that also makes the reversal that much more difficult."
