OH MY GOSH!!! Serious error I made in my fic! ARGH!!! Take NOTE: Artemis Fole did NOT take off her suit or the helmet. I repeat, Artemis Fole did NOT take off her suit or the helmet. Just cut out that part where she takes off her helmet plus her suit. CUT.

My reviewers, for some reason, all ran away. New reviewers came though. But very few reviewers, although quite a lot of reviews…

Replies to new and very few reviewers ((sobs)):

Yuffie Paine: THANKS!!!!!!! FOR REVIEWING!!!!!!! WHEE!!!!!!!!!

Yellowreviewz: Yeah, Jing Yi, thanks. Leave your name as yellow reviewz! Stop changing your name!

Wanna know the reason Artemis Fole still must wear her suit and helmet? Because the pressure underground would kill her! I read the second book thoroughly and realized that! SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here comes the chase for the little mud girl…

Chapter Nine: Citywide search!

Artemis (girl): Why do they all search for me???? I'm not that evil!

Artemis: That's absolutely correct. Nobody is more of a criminal mastermind than me.

Me: Stupid Arty. Fole is almost as smart as you. And, you're supposed to be good.

Artemis: Oh, I suppose that slipped my mind. ((Sarcastically))

Artemis (girl): HA!!! Stupid Fowl! Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh huh, uh huh…

Artemis: I would appreciate it if you would stop doing that pathetic cheer in front of me and leave me in peace.

Me: Okay, okay, conversation over. Get back into the story before I kick your butts.

Artemis: I doubt you will dare to do so.

Artemis (girl): I'll kick your butt before you do!

Me: WHATEVER!!! GET BACK ON THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry. Biiigggg interruption.

Haven, Police Plaza, Dungeon seventy-six

"Code one hundred and twelve. I repeat, code one hundred and twelve. Mud person in Haven. Call for a citywide search. LEPretrieval and LEPrecon units, report to Commander Root in dungeon seventy-six. Over," said Holly frantically. Root was issuing commands into his helmet mike and looking furious. Mulch had simply collapsed into a chair, staring blankly into space. Artemis was looking thoughtful while Foaly was digging out a few locators he managed to grab before Opal blasted his precious Operations booth.

"How did she manage to get into Haven without getting killed by the pressure?" thought Artemis aloud.

"Lucky for you, this is a secured area. And I wouldn't know how she got into Haven, would I?" Holly rushed over to Foaly and grabbed one of the locators he'd just finished setting to locating the mud girl.

"Who's she?" asked Holly, strapping on the locator hastily.

"Haven't checked yet," replied Foaly, setting down the last locator. "That's all I've got. Get the best captains to wear them."

"Who's she?" repeated Holly.

Foaly ran over to the keyboard and typed so fast his fingers were a blur.

"Artemis Fole."

Artemis stood up suddenly.

"What?"

"Ar-te-mis Fo-le," repeated Foaly slowly. "Not you, Fowl."

Artemis rushed over to the screen and stared.

"Fole? Artemis Fole? I didn't know there was someone called Artemis Fole in Dublin."

"Aw, Fowl, you must be slipping. Isn't that sad?" said Holly sarcastically.

"How do you find out who she is?"

"Simple. Since she is in Haven, I can just link to her and see her name," said Foaly smugly. "She doesn't have an active file, which is probably why you've never heard of her."

Artemis smirked.

"Wait, there's more," said Foaly, scrolling downwards. "Her IQ is… two hundred and ten. It's genius level for mud men." Suddenly, he stopped.

"What else?" asked Artemis impatiently.

"She's only – five. And that's very young for mud men," said Foaly in awe. Artemis rolled his eyes.

"My IQ was two hundred and twenty-seven when I was five."

"And how about now, smart mud boy?"

"Two hundred and fifty-six," Artemis said simply. "When I was mind-wiped, I was surprised to find my IQ points went down to a mere two hundred and twenty."

"Yeah, that's little," said Holly, rolling her eyes.

"Short! You go do a quick search of the city. And that's a direct order!" barked Root from across the room.

"Yessir," said Holly quickly and opened up her throttles as she flew through a hole in the ceiling.

Downtown Haven

Injured LEP officers lay breathing heavily on the floor as Holly hovered slightly over the floor, trying her hardest to shield. She failed terribly.

"Come on, come on," muttered Holly. Suddenly, as if her magic suddenly flowed back into her veins, she shielded. She heaved a sigh of relief as she flew towards the injured officers. Chix had taken another hit in the wing. If he wasn't healed soon, he could die. Trouble was bleeding heavily from his chest. The warlock medics hadn't come to them yet.

Holly bit her lip. If she healed them, it would mean disobeying a direct order.

"Holly…" Root's voice suddenly snarled in her earpiece.

"But, Commander, this is Chix's second hit in the wing! It's serious!" insisted Holly. "Trouble is bleeding from the chest! Commander, I've got to help."

"Soon you'll be running around healing any injured officer you see."

"I promise, Commander. These two only. They're the most serious anyway," said Holly.

"Very well, Captain. The warlock medics will take care of them afterwards," sighed Root.

Holly quickly terminated the link and swooped downwards to Chix. This one wasn't so bad – it hadn't punched straight through. The bullet simply lay embedded in the scorched tissue. She guessed Chix had managed to dodge it before it punched right through. Then that would be very serious.

Holly gently removed the bullet from his wing and placed her fingers on the wound.

"Heal," she whispered softly. The magic welled inside her fingers, although very slowly and flowed slowly downwards from her fingertips. The hole slowly closed up, leaving a scar right across the wound. Without wasting any time, she rushed over to Trouble.

He was almost lifeless. Luckily, the bullet was shot quite faraway from the heart.

"Hol-ly?" he gasped suddenly.

"Yes?" Holly said shakily. "I'm going to heal you now, so relax. The medic warlocks are coming." Immediately afterwards, she placed her fingers on the wound.

"Heal," she whispered. The magic flowed freely from her fingertips. Slowly, Trouble's breathing grew stronger.

"There," she said, her voice quivering. "I'm going to leave you here. Goodbye." With that, she swooped upwards into the sky and at the same time glanced at the locator.

The radar was blipping. The red dot was the mud girl, the blue dot was her. She groaned. Now she had to deal with a five-year-old. She went in the direction of the red dot. The beep went louder. Louder, closer. She grinned and dived downwards.

Pitiful Artemis Fole's point of view

(A/N: She's wearing her suit! And her helmet! Onward! With the story!)

Artemis Fole knew for a fact that if she took off her helmet or her suit she would die immediately and they were the only things keeping her alive. She shivered. What if those fairy people found her?

Suddenly, a small figure, as small as she was or maybe a tiny bit taller, swooped down from the sky and landed lightly on the floor in front of the crack she was hiding in. She was moving gracefully and in a catlike stance towards the crack. The figure squatted downwards and peered in the crack. She acted as if she thought Artemis could not see her.

Suddenly, she became clearer and easier to see, though it was very dark and she could not make out the figure's face.

"Hello, little girl, why don't you come out here so I can see you clearly?" said the figure. No doubt it was a girl. Her accent was extremely weird, like a mix of everything. Artemis Fole scowled.

"Yeah, as if I would go out there and get shot by your cronies," she said rudely.

Suddenly, the figure grabbed her arm and tugged her out. She was abnormally strong.

"HEY!!! You stupid idiot!" yelled Artemis furiously and lifted her leg, kicking the girl in the stomach. The girl clutched her stomach with one hand and kept her other hand firmly on Artemis's arm.

"Do you want me to stun you?" she grunted menacingly.

Artemis looked up and stared at the girl properly. She was wearing a helmet, the same as she was. She was also wearing a lime green coloured suit and a machine with wings sprouting out of it on her back. She was rather slim and the fingers gripped on her arm were nut-coloured and slender.

"Obviously not. Show me your face," Artemis challenged.

The girl sighed.

"Very well, if you say so," said the girl and pulled off her helmet. A mop of unruly auburn hair flopped down the girl's head, down to about half of her neck. Hazel eyes flashed from beneath tired lids. Her mouth was a grim, determined slash. She looked rather pretty. In fact, in human standards, very pretty. Though the blonde lady had been a tiny bit prettier.

"I'm afraid you'll have to come with me, or you'll get it," said the girl, resting her slim fingers on a rather small, shining gun. Artemis almost rolled her eyes.

"Oh really? But I'm only a little innocent girl!" cried Artemis pityingly, putting on her little toddler act. The girl was smart. She wasn't fooled. She snorted.

"That's right, little innocent girl," she said, her hands moving a knob on the gun very quickly. As quick as a flash, she raised her gun and pointed it at Artemis. At the same time, Artemis sent a spinning kick into the girl's stomach and wrenched the gun out of the girl's hand. She had broken the record in her tae kwan do training school for throwing. And the gun was so light she threw it a few kilometers away; too far for the girl to reach it.

"You-" the girl started, clutching her stomach and still keeping a firm grip on Artemis's arm. Artemis smirked, twisted the arm on her arm and did another spinning kick, which sent the girl flying a few meters away. Her auburn hair was blown back by the force and Artemis could clearly see now that she had pointed ears. To Artemis's horror, the girl picked herself up and hovered into the air, chasing after Artemis. Artemis started running towards the gun. The girl was faster. She zoomed a few meters ahead of Artemis and nimbly picked up the gun. As she did so, Artemis grabbed the chance and sent another kick towards the girl. She missed.

"You may be smart, mud girl, but soon I'll get you!" cried the pointy-eared girl. They were words of bravado. Artemis sighed once again. It was time for tactics. She looked around. There was a dead end. If she ran towards there, the girl would follow her and when she reached the end, she could swerve to the left and kick the girl with another spinning kick, one with lots of force, so the girl could smash into the opposite wall. If the girl had been stupid, she could just lead the girl so the girl would smash into the wall in front of her but this girl was smart. She needed to use her strength.

Artemis Fole ran towards the wall. The girl followed her, shooting lasers at her. Artemis swerved left, then right. It was going to be a long time before she could shake off the creature.

Holly's point of view

Holly was feeling frustrated. She had never missed a target before! And yet this tiny little mud girl was outwitting her! She stuffed on her helmet and spoke into the mike as she aimed low-level lasers at the girl. The lasers cut into the floor instead.

"Foaly? Foaly!" she screamed, still shooting towards the tiny little mud girl sprinting on the ground. "Do you see this? I'm missing her!"

"That's sad."

"FOALY!!!!!" shrieked Holly. Suddenly, Fole swerved to the left just before the dead end. Holly veered upwards, narrowly avoiding being crushed against the wall.

"You could have at least warned me," muttered Holly as she whirled around and expertly aimed the Neutrino at the tiny mud girl. Suddenly, the girl jumped up and without Holly expecting it, she kicked so hard Holly collided with the opposite wall and she heard something break. Not the wall.

Immediately afterward, Holly fell into unconsciousness, the pain engulfing her body in a matter of seconds.

A few minutes later…

"Ow…" Holly groaned, propping herself up on one elbow. Why was she here? Oh yeah. The mud girl. She scanned the area and sighed. She lost her.

"Holly? Holly?" Foaly was saying urgently in her ear.

"Yeah?"

"You fell into unconsciousness just after the girl kicked you."

"Duh."

"Holly! What's your status!?" Root's voice yelled into her ear. Holly winced.

"Throbbing all over. When I crashed into the wall it was much worse," moaned Holly. "She packs quite a punch for a tiny mud girl."

"Amazing," Foaly said suddenly. "She actually managed to escape from the other captains!"

"What? Really?" cried Holly in disbelief. The pain was slowly ebbing away now, due to her fairy magic. "But she's only five! And you know, she jumped a few meters into the air to kick me, so I guess she would be able to."

"We've called for a citywide search. A mud girl in Haven is even worse than Opal and her goblins."

"Even worse? How can it be even worse?"

"Fine, as worse."

"Short, when you're better report to base!"

"What base?" said Holly, slowly standing up. Her knees were wobbly. She suspected the girl had broken a few of her ribs. "You mean the dungeon."

"Yeah, the dungeon."

Haven, Police Plaza, Dungeon seventy-six

Holly entered the dungeon, and was greeted by silence. Nobody had noticed her entry. Artemis was sitting at the table; deep in thought while Mulch was pawing the floor, as if hoping he could escape. Holly took out her buzz baton and whacked Mulch with it on his behind. Not too hard, though. Mulch jumped up.

"Oh, hi, Holly!" he cried. Foaly swiveled around and tapped Commander Root on his shoulder.

"Captain Short's back, Julius," said Foaly. Root let the Julius comment slide and he looked Holly up and down.

"You okay, Short?" he grunted. Holly nodded.

"The girl's tough," she commented. "It'll be hard catching her."

"I've got an idea," Foaly said suddenly. "But you won't like it."

"What idea?" asked Holly insistently.

Foaly told them. They didn't like it. And most of all Artemis didn't like it.

Okay… That's all. I don't write well when I get few reviewers. They are my life… Well, actually the reviews are. Anyways… This chapter is mostly about Artemis Fole defeating Holly Short. Hahas. Holly's fuming mad. And, Artemis Fole is not a Mary-Sue, if you were wondering. She can be tough and smart, but you know Mary-Sues have legs that go on forever, or something like that? Well, for a five-year old, she's shorter than Holly, so that gives you an idea of how short she is. Citywide search! Whee! Cheers. Must get 10 more reviews for next chapter… or ten reviewers… :P. Click on the Review button! PLEASE… Thanks!
