Yeah… Like I said before, that last chapter, the one paragraph was just kind of there… ONWARD TO CHAPPIE 5!!!

†††††††††

Jon, Jon Spiro. Artemis thought. I'm not surprised. I knew I'd meet him again, though I did not think that there would be a fairy involved. Artemis smirked. Then again, when is there not.

"Artemis… Artemis? Hey, Earth to Mudboy!" Artemis felt a small fist collide playfully with this right cheekbone. "Oi! Fowl, are you just going to stand there or what?"

Artemis smiled. "Hello Doodah, how is life on the right side of the law. That's two convicts that have turned LEPrecon? Soon I will have met enough to make an entire squadron, the way this is going."

"Yeah yeah." Doodah looked over Artemis' shoulder. "Oi! Who's the big man next to Dommi? The one that looks like he's gonna kill someone." Artemis knew without even turning.

"That would be, eh, my new Butler." Artemis smirked, and said sarcastically, "Oh yes, he is going to be of great use to me. You know, he seems to think I am not, oh, how did he put it, an immediate threat."

Many things happened at that precise moment. Doodah, simply stared at Artemis, and forgot about hovering. His wings stopped, and he fell to the ground. Holly, who was walking backwards talking with Mulch, tripped over him. The dwarf reached out to grab her hand, and also tripped over the dazed ex-fish smuggler. They caused such a loud clamor that Foaly, who had excellent hearing jumped, and knocked over Fiora, Whom in turn fell into Alfonso Butler. All of this occurred in a span of about 4 or 5 seconds. The only people left standing, were Artemis and Domovoi.

Artemis' usual stiff demeanor cracked, and he burst out laughing. Though he was better trained, Domovoi couldn't disguise a snort. Holly glared.

"Here, Holly." Artemis reached out a hand for her to grasp, and she stood, brushing soil off of her Shimmer Suit 2.0. (Foaly's newest design) Butler helped right the fallen centaurs, who were having a hard time standing back up. Mulch had gotten a face-full of rock, and was not happy. Doodah however, was laughing his head off. Holly gave him a questioning look.

"It's just, ahh, Artemis Fowl, not a threat, my my, times must be changing."

†††††††††

After the chaos had subsided, and the group had reached Haven, Artemis realized just how bad the situation was.

Haven was a mess. Half of the shops were closed, and the only people that were out and about were mothers getting the groceries. Not a tourist in sight.

"That bad huh?"

"Artemis, this is serious. Now, I don't want you to laugh, but this is just too well timed. You being attacked at the same time our market is bought out by some mesmered, insane, power hungry mudman. It's just not right."

"I was thinking the same thing. Luck is for those with a prepared mind, though I would hardly call this luck." Holly muttered, something, but it wasn't clear what. "I assume that Jon must have more than one fairy working with him, because if he did not his house would have been swarmed and he would have been mindwiped."

"Nothing gets by you Artemis." Holly said sarcastically.

"I know."

†††††††††

Ever since the day that he and Butler had stayed in a room at the LEPrecon Headquarters, Artemis had decided that he was going to have someone build him a house there. (In the upper class of Haven of course) The flat was modeled after his own home, except his bedroom was much more lavishly furnished.

It felt so good to be back in Haven, in his apartment, with all of his friends nearby. He reclined back on his bed and sighed, he missed this life, his real life. Not the one he lived up on the surface. The room slowly began to fade, and Artemis was enveloped by a blanket of darkness and warmth.

"Artemis… Artemis… Artemis wake up." And it was gone.

"What, Holly?" Artemis sat up and glared at his friend. Holly averted her eyes.

"Well, we've tried to explain what happened to your parents, but they won't believe us."

"Butler tried that years ago Holly, they didn't believe him either, and they have known him as long as I have. Why would they believe you?"

"Well, I had to try. I think that they will only believe you Artemis."

"I know, but what do I say? That I have been secretly partaking in illegal exploits until most recently, when I switched to the right side of the law? Now I work to capture criminals from a race that isn't even supposed to exist?"

"I don't know Artemis, you're the genius. You figure it out." and with that final note, Holly left Artemis to mull over his thoughts.

†††††††††

"Mother. Father. Butler." Artemis acknowledged as he walked into his living room. Even at a time like this, he couldn't help but marvel at how large the upper class apartments were.

"Oh! Artemis honey! Are you alright? Did they hurt you? Oh honey…"

"Mother, please. If you crack my ribs you will have only have succeeded in wasting precious magic." Angeline stared.

"Wha—"

And so Artemis explained everything. From kidnapping Holly to saving his father. His defeat of Opal Kobi, and his capture and return of the "Fairy Thief." His experience with the demons, and how he obtained his magic. Every last detail was said, every one of his secrets exposed. His father stood.

"You've brain-washed my son! I know people and they will destroy you! Let us go son…"

"Father, shut up!" All went silent. Artemis' father turned and starred.

"What did you just say?"

"Father, listen. What benefit would I obtain from lying to you about this?" Artemis' father bent his head and massaged his temples.

"I know what you want father. You want proof, do you not?" Artemis looked over to Holly. "Holly, give me your Neutronio." Holly reached to her belt slowly and removed her weapon. She looked at it for a few moments, and then at Artemis. She smiled, and tossed it over. Artemis fiddled with the dial before placing the gun to his forearm. He pulled the trigger.

Angeline screamed. His father gasped, and Butler nearly fainted. Domovi smirked and patted his nephew on the shoulder. His face distinctly read, I told you.

"Look." muttered Domovi. Angeline looked up. Blue sparks flew over Artemis' arm, and soon the burn had completely disappeared. Everyone went quiet. Artemis muttered under his breath, and repaired the hole in his shirt.

"You see, I am not a liar, and I am not insane."

Holly snorted. "Artemis, insane? You're one of smartest people in the world. Hell Artemis, it's thanks to you that we even have half of the technology we do. Remember the C Cube?"

"Sadly, yes I do. Speaking of the C Cube, I am guessing Spiro has conditions, and that the C Cube is one of them."

"Yep."

"Wonderful."

"Spiro's conditions? What do you mean Spiro's conditions?"

"Spiro has taken over the city Father. He has bought out the economy. Spiro was mesmered, that is to say, brain-washed by an unknown fairy. We also have reason to believe that the same fairy is responsible for the attack on Fowl Manor."

"Spiro is attacking us? Why?"

"I explained it to you, you didn't believe me."

"You shot yourself in the arm!"

"Yes and the burn is gone. Or do I need to shoot myself again before you understand?"

"Artemis!"

A shot rang through the air. Holly was glaring. "I love my Neutronio and all, but sometimes a good pistol shot is all one needs to get attention. Now all of you shut it." Artemis smirked. "Thank you Holly, we really needed our eardrums to bleed."

"Welcome. Okay mudmen and half-mudboy, listen up. Artemis is half fairy, deal with it. He kidnapped me, and then saved me. I cured you," she pointed at Angeline. "And helped save you." Holly turned to Artemis Sr. "Artemis made Spiro snap and helped capture Kobi. It's thanks to him that we have any knowledge of demons and warlocks that we know is accurate."

"Artemis, is that true?"

"Yes! I told you! Domovoi told you! How many times do we have to tell you?"

Everyone stared. Artemis was fuming. Domovoi and Holly were in shock. Artemis Fowl II had lost it. Artemis had never lost his temper, not since he was five anyway. And that had been because his second grade math teacher (advanced placement) had accused him of having his father do his math homework.

"Artemis…"

"What?" Artemis snapped. Holly blinked.

"Well, Artemis, I think its time we all went to bed now… We can talk more about this in the morning."

†††††††††

Knock… Knock… Knock…

Holly opened the door to Artemis' bedroom tentatively. "Artemis?" No response. She peeked in. Artemis was sitting on his bed with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. A rhythmic breathing could be easily heard as he sat. His hair was disheveled; it didn't look like he had cleaned up after Artemis and his parents' fight. "Artemis?"

"Yes Holly?"

"Are you okay… you know… downstairs?"

"I'm sorry Holly; I don't know what came into my mind to make me lose it like I did. My parents can just be so…"

"I know. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. They believe us now."

"Do they really?"

"Yeah, we showed them the tape you used to regain your memory. How can they argue with that?"

"Well I guess they can't."

"Exactly. Now do you want some food or what?"

"Food, Holly?"

"Yeah. I don't normally approve of things like this, but Doodah got us some of the finest Atlantiean fish you can find."

"Well then, shall we go? I am getting a bit hungry."

†††††††††

Well, so yeah. This is possibly one of the most awkwardly written chapters I have ever done. Oh well. If anyone has suggestions to make this less awkward, please tell me! Also I welcome Constructive Criticisms!
