(A/N: Before you continue reading in my story I must add information on the timeline in GUNDAM that will appear in this chapter and probably the chapters that I hope to add later.

1st this is my personal timeline, taking the liberty to mix several GUNDAM series together for a EFSF and ECOAS force that hopefully will match the story better.

2nd MS is the acronym for Mobile Suit, a powerful mech. that depending on its model can be used for almost anything, they are invisible to radar, and almost anything once Mono-Phase shift armor is activated, only being able to be detected by a unassisted eye, and when they have Mirage colloid active it is impossible to detect them whatsoever, except maybe running into them.

3rd the ECOAS has known about fairies and has actually had one T61 type Gun-Tank hidden by mirage colloid in heaven since its founding, with the unit rotating out every 2 days with a new unit.

4th The units operated by ECOAS have the advanced M.O.S. (Mobile Operating System) installed in there units. This OS is capable of locating, identifying, and determining the level of threat imposed by (presumed hostile) non-IFF emitting units.

4th EVERY THING LEADS TO THE MOON. This is the most important part to the information here. the moon is the home of the EFSF, consisting of Luna-1 (the prominent city, that houses 1/6 the population of the EFSF), the pillar of heaven (a old orbital elevator that connects the moon to earth, the only reason its not discovered by anyone yet is that it is protected by powerful light-wave barriers and one of the most powerful mirage colloid systems ever deployed). Finally there is Carpentaria base, which houses fleets 1-30 of the EFSF and almost all the remaining MS from the 8th war (look up after war GUNDAM X if you want to know what the 8th space war was. But it is not important to the story only ,referenced by pilots once in a while), and several other city's recently completed.

5th The space colonies are hidden by the same systems as the pillar of heaven, they house what remains of the EFSF forces not stationed at Carpentaria, and the remaining 5/6th of the population.

With that I hope you enjoy the 1st chapter of "A Past, But Not My Past")

Chapter 1: "the changing tides."

*EFSF orbital command (pillar of heaven)*

Ensign: "Possible target identified in section Green 5. Target disappeared 30 seconds after appearing. No IFF code, possible new type of LEP unit, origins unknown, Sir!"

Commander Kurtis Hurst: "Alright we don't know what it is right?"

Ensign: "Yes sir"

Commander Kurtis Hurst: "Go to alert status 3 then, and have Atlantis II send out one ECOAS Stark Jegan to investigate. Make sure its got full Derturion and mirage colloid particles!"

Ensign: "Yes Sir." goes back to his station to begin communications with the ECOAS team on the ground "A2 this is heaven actual, be advised possible contact in section Green 5. Launch one black tie, full Equip. Hostile has no IFF may be LEP but no launch was recorded by T61. Confirm?"

*10 seconds pass*

A2: "confirm Heaven actual, one black tie, full equip to Green 5."

Ensign: "Alright, Heaven actual, confirmation received"

*All communications finally ceased*

Ensign: switching consoles "This is Heaven CIC to all Pegasus class vessels currently docked to Heavens pillar. We are now going to alert status 3, all ships are to activate independent mirage colloid systems and break from the pillar. Return to Carpentaria Base"

* captains appear on screen*

All Captains at the same time: "confirmed, CIC activating emergency launch systems. Lets get this over with, we will be ready to leave dock in roughly 250 seconds."

Ensign: "confirmed heaven CIC out"

*gets up and goes to the captain*

Ensign: "Sir all ships are making final preparations for launch, we have done all we can do"

Commander Kurtis Hurst: "Aright then it's all up to the ground team now. If they can find that thing then we can confirm what it is and log it. "

*back in the now sleeping shuttle captain Artemis fowl is the first to awaken. Realizing what had happened he quickly starts waking the rest of the team up.

Artemis: "Alright, we will be gone awhile so I guess now would be the best time to explain what's going on." rest of the team looks at him annoyed and tired "so we are currently in the past. More specifically my childhood. We are to watch over myself, holly, and commander root to ensure that things go exactly like they're supposed to. We have no clue where Koboi is, nor when she will appear so we may have to watch over them in shifts. Do not do ANYTHING without first telling me, UNLESS the Koboi of our time is there in front of you. We can't let chances to capture her go by."

*Back at the Atlantis II research center, a catapult was being readied for an ECOAS team of stark Jegans. Each one armed with high maneuverability thrusters and shield rockets. Painted the classic ECOAS spec ops black, and shark mouth paint schemes around there head, these units (which looked menacing to begin with) could scare anyone or anything (if only they could be seen...). Activating their Mirage colloid systems each of the Jegans set off into the night. One of them headed strait for the last know coordinates of the unidentified vessel, while the other 2 scouted for any other possible places it may have gone. If needed the one that spotted the craft would then call for the other 2 and backup would be almost immediately available. That's why they have used this formation for generations.*

Lieutenant Ray: "all right I'm nearing the coordinates, but I'm not picking anything up. Switching to high-speed cameras. As the cameras switch on, the shuttle, which is immediately picked up by the M.O.S., flashes into his view screen. All right I got them. It appears to be a LEP shuttle, but I'm not getting any IFF or even registration. Either this new model is not recorded on their systems yet, or they are testing it before its released. Switching to long-range communications "A2 this is EC01 No threat to heavens pillar detected but will continue observation until we can analyze this new unit. Full report on return to A2"

A2: "confirmed EC01, return when you're ready. You guys haven't had much practice lately, feel free to go out on maneuvers before returning when you're done. A2 out"

*Back on the shuttle Artemis finished explaining the mission to the rest of the team, and split the into 3 teams. Call signs Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie. Each team consisting of 2 fairies. Private fowl was left to the shuttle, incase any team needed immediate evacuation, or weapons he could launch and get to them fastest if he was on the shuttle already. *

*All the teams leave the shuttle, and Private fowl watches from the cameras in their helmets as they each approach there respective destinations. He didn't know what but he felt something was definitely wrong.*

Artemis: Butler we just need to keep watching for fairies a few more days. I know you think I'm crazy but I assure you we will find them. sun starts to rise, and both know that they wont find anything more during the day "that's it for today I guess" just as he's turning around he see a few leaves move where there was n wind across the way, no the way back to the house (whispering) :butler, I think I see one. Just keep walking towards the house, don't let it know we might have seen it.

*Artemis Fowl moves forward as if nothing is wrong. He proceeds down the path that would lead back to the car, and back to the house, when he stops. And touches Captain Artemis fowls helmet, as ordered butler keeps walking unaware of the Space time phenomenon occurring behind him. As Artemis touches Artemis they both begin to glow and thrash uncontrollably but silently. *

*What the team had no clue about when they entered the time stream was that opal had gotten to a time about 5 ears before the abduction of holly short, or any other event of Artemis fowls life. But she didn't do the rash thing and kill him then, no, no, she would wait. See what time brought her. She started messing with time heavily, remaining secluded in the mountains. She messed with time so heavily that there was no way to predict what would happen when a person form the future touched himself or herself from the past.*

*What happened was the timeline tried to sort out who it was more deserving of staying here, and it chose by which of them would withstand its harsh treatment. As both of them thrashed about, Artemis (of the past's) body couldn't hold out and began dying. The same thing was happening to captain Artemis fowl, but his magic was keeping him alive. Eventually the Artemis from this time, faded out of existence leaving only a very shocked Captain Artemis fowl to replace him. Upon waking up he realized what had happened and thought quickly, he is after all still a genius, and activated his new suits disguise function. To anyone who did not have access to prior knowledge of him not being of this time. They would not be able to tell that he was not this Artemis fowl. The suit even altered the brains signals so that when it touched the un-human qualities of his body, they would feel no different from the Artemis of this time. There was no choice; he would have to live out the rest of his life in this Artemis's shoes. After all if he tried to return to the future, there's no telling what might happen if there was no Artemis fowl to begin with.*

*With an annoyed look Artemis now began following butler closely going back on his old personal experiences. His partner stood in awe at what had just happened in front of him. But Artemis continued with the plan that he had come up with so many years ago… oh how sorry he was about this abduction but he has to do it, or time may not end up anywhere near close to its original state. And he would lose all his chances at re-capturing one Opal Koboi.*

Butler: "so find anything?"

Artemis: *smirking * "No my old friend, unfortunately I did not find anything of interest, we'll have to search again next week"
