So, I've corrected some mistakes in this chapter too. :)

No major changes, though.

Hmm.. Oh yes: I own the new Captains that appear in this chapter, as well as i own the amazing Captain Root.. :)

Chapter 6 -War

Police Plaza –Haven City –Year 2106

Holly looked at Commander Root again. "Oh, by the way," she muttered to him. "You've got a daughter. I'll explain later." Then she turned her attention to the girl again.

"Captain Root. We're having a crisis here. What do you think you are you doing?"

"I'm sorry sir. I didn't think that I was going to come…"

"And why is that? I called for all the Captains. Aren't you a Captain?"

"Yes, but… But you said, that you might demote me soon… sir."

"Yes, but I also said, that I wasn't sure. And you are not demoted yet, are you?"

Captain Root shook her head.

"Then I also mean you. Take a seat."

"Yes sir. I'm sorry, sir."

The girl looked around the room, and her eyes landed on Commander Root. "Dad!?"

Root opened his mouth, but Holly spoke before he got to say anything. "Well… that's not your father… no yet, anyway." Then she raised her voice. "You all know, that we are under attack. You probably also know, that I've traveled back in time to get help, so we'll just go straight to the important part: Does anyone have any idea where the enemies come from, or how many they are? Yes, Captain Dixie?"

Captain Dixie, a tall woman, with short, messy hair, stood up. "They seem to be coming from everywhere, sir," she said. "Right now, no one knows how many they are."

"Are they too many to fight?"

"No sir. There is a big chance that we are able to fight them, but if more of them shows up, we can't be that sure anymore." She sat down again.

"Thank you Captain. Your group goes to the north part of the city, together with Captain Ace's group and Captain Root's group. You can go out and get ready."

Captain Dixie left, together with Captain Ace. A blonde, male pixie. Captain Root was also about to leave, but Holly stopped her. "You stay here Captain Root. I'm going to call your father anyway, so we can also talk a little about your missing discipline. Captain Dixie will take over your group."

The captain sighed, and sat down again.

Holly told everybody else where to go, and afterwards, only Commander Root, Captain Root, Captain Short, both of the Troubles, Artemis, Foaly and herself were left in the room.

"And what about us?" Captain Short asked.

"We are going to find Richter. Foaly, can you track down the conversation from before?"

"Of course, I…"

"No Foaly, this isn't the time, to get offended or to start a lecture about technical device. Track down the call."

Foaly muttered something that sounded suspiciously much like "Typical. Absolutely no respect!"

After a couple of seconds, the centaur looked up from the laptop. "I was right! Richter is underground. The call came from an old warehouse, close to Centrum."

"Good. Now call Lieutenant Colonel Root, we have to keep him informed."

"No need Short, I'm already here." Holly turned around, and there stood Root.

"This is just getting too crazy," past-Holly and past-Root mumbled at the same time.

"Short, could you please tell me, why the hell you have brought so many people from the past?"

Oh, oh, Holly thought. She should have known that he wouldn't like it.

"They wanted to help sir, and I thought that we needed all the help we could possibly get."

"But won't it mess something up in the past, if we've – I mean if they've just disappeared…?"

"No, actually it won't," Foaly interrupted him. He loved when he got to explain something, especially when he could annoy Julius, at the same time.

"My Timetraveller 5000® stops the time automatically, in the same second as something or someone is removed. No one will notice that they've been gone, because the time in their own time won't start again, before they return. So actually, Commander Short did a very clever thing, when she decided to bring them all."

Root was defeated, he could also se it himself so he just nodded. "Well, then I can't see any problem with it Short. So what are you going to do now?"

Holly sent Foaly a thankful thought. "We will go and find Richter," she said. "But before you go, I just need to talk to you, about Captain Root's working discipline."

Root sighed, and looked at his daughter. "What is it this time Julia?"

Holly answered for her. "She came too late for an important emergency meeting, because she didn't think she had to come."

Holly was glad, that Root had been taking anger management classes, because if he hadn't, he would simply have exploded.

"Captain Julia Andrea Jacqueline Root! This is totally unacceptable! That will make it the fourth meeting you're late for this week."

Julia looked at her feet. "I-I'm sorry dad-I mean: sir."

"You know what? You start to remind me a little more of Short, when she was at your age, than I like."

Julia and past-Holly looked at him. "No! That's absolutely not true!" they both said, at the same time. They looked at each other, and blushed. He was right, actually. How ironic.

Holly (the one from the future) sighed. "Ok, Captain. I'll give you one more chance. Go out and catch up with Ace and Dixie. They haven't left yet. If you can manage this… this war, yes, it's war now, you won't get demoted."

Julia nodded.

"You can leave."

She left the room. "Now we have to get out to that warehouse, and find Richter. If we're lucky, he's still there. Foaly, equipment please."

When Foaly had equipped them all, with helmets, cameras and Neutrino 6000's, Commander Short, Captain Short, Commander Root, Artemis Fowl, Major Kelp and Captain Kelp were ready to go.

"Keep me informed as often as possible," Lieutenant Colonel Root said, before they left the safe police headquarters and hurried towards Centrum.

Keep reviewing.. :D
