Chapter 3: 'Battle Stations, Full Report!'
(A/N: this conversation between ray and the computer takes place during the events of the eternity code, also Ray is a elf… sorry for the confusion.)
*Shortly after the ECOAS's Artemis incident, Atlantis II CIC*
Lieutenant Ray: *into a computer recording system* "Emerald, Begin recording"
Computer (Emerald is the computers AI interface): "Alright" (A/N Emerald talks in a monotone through this entire chapter, also 'she' (computers have no genders but this one's artificial voice is closest to a girls) will always emphasize the first letter of each word.)
Lieutenant Ray: "After following the unidentified target for a few days, I have seen things I never thought possible. First off, what seems to be a dimensional disturbance (I have no way of confirming this as the last time one was seen was the 8th war nearly 9 million years ago). This happened when a small boy (one Artemis fowl the second) touched the highest-ranking elf of the unidentified craft's helmet. Causing Artemis fowl to disappear and forcing the unidentified person to take on his personality. He did it as if he was Artemis himself, but that cannot be, right? Second I saw this elf continue the boys plan, but every night when he was left alone by is bodyguard, he would meet up with the other one of his 'team' outside his window. He always seems to be complaining about how it's not fair that he "has to do this all over again"- Artemis Fowl. I cannot see any other way to explain this but to call it a full out miracle, If he where human he would probably be considered a "New-Type" but he's an elf so we don't have a designation for individuals such as him. That's it for my report 'Over'"
Computer: "Recording Stopped"
Lieutenant Ray: "Emerald, would you mind looking up were skull 1 is?"
Computer: "Alright, My Friend"
Lieutenant Ray: "Thank you."
Computer: "Skull One, Current Location Is Orbital Command, Heavens Pillar. Training New Pilots In 0G Maneuvers. He Is Set To Launch On The Pegasus Class cruiser "Archangel" In 5 Days."
Lieutenant Ray: "Why is there a Pegasus launching?"
Computer: "… Last Month The Facility At Jupiter Was Attacked by what looked Like The U.E. There Are Currently No Confirmed Reports of Casualties, But They Are Sending 2 Pegasus Class, And 20 'Rein-Force Jr.' Class Vessels. Also In 3 Days, All combat Personnel At Atlantis II Are To Be On Full Alert As A Cruise Liner Is Going To Pass Right Next To Our Location. The Sudden Jolt In A Ship That Size From The Light Wave Barriers Could Cause Suspicion From The Crew And Passengers."
Lieutenant Ray: "Aright that's enough for today. 'Ray Orion Signing off' "
*Back at EFSF orbital command*
*A loud repetitive alert is heard in the background causing everyone on the CIC to look at the radar in the center of the room*
*On screen a several blips appeared out of nowhere near mars. Just inside the L-RAD systems of the pillar range. They would have little more than 30 days before these enemies would be in visual range of earth. That cannot be allowed, as it would cause them to reveal the pillar and Atlantis II to both humans and fairies.*
Commander of the pillar: "Code J, Repeat Code J, all ships to emergency launch positions. Send a message to Atlantis, Earth in danger if ships cannot be stopped in 15 days, they are cleared to deactivate mirage colloid, and fire all 'Lohengrin' HMPC. All MS are cleared to launch on catapults 1-200."
(A/N 'Code J' is common among gundam series to represent an incoming enemy of unknown origin or standing. If no IFF can be recognized then all units are automatically presumed hostile. But if the origins of the unit are unknown and a ship picks up the 'unknown enemy' then it is classified under code J. I did not use this in the 1st chapter because the shuttle was identified by a base, and was clearly of LEP origin. Also HMPC is Hyper, Mega, Particle, Cannon. This is a cannon normally equipped at bases or battle ships that fires antimatter electrons into the normal matter electrons in front of it. These in turn cause the two to literally cease to exist at all. Under normal circumstances it is COMPLETELY ILLEGAL to use these for anything but leaving the atmosphere, as outlined under the Julius 7 treaty of C.E. 91)
*Hangar bay 2, skull squadron and recruits where in training MS going over 0G maneuvers.*
Skull 1: "Skull 1 to all units, you heard them were going to get to our ships. You recruits are to take these MS down to Atlantis II. Do you understand?"
*A small elf appears on screen, skull one recognizes him as "Ensign Patch" skull one was not very surprised, after all the EFSF was getting more and more elf's. This was there experiment to see if humans could get along with fairies. And so far it was working perfectly fine. 1 out of 10 new recruits since the first elf to join up. 'Ray Orion', have been elves. Though this only seems to works with elves as the rest of the recruits they tried failed miserably. Causing them to be mind wiped and sent back. (The EFSF had developed the tech for a mind wipe originally for the Psycho Gundam. But haven't used it very often as it is considered a last ditch effort and cruel)*
Ensign patch: "Yes sir, we all got it."
Skull 1: "good, now make sure you al refuel and re-equip for ground and atmospheric re-entry"
*Back on the earth, lieutenant Ray Orion was preparing for his leave. He would finally get to go back and meet up with his wife back in haven, after al what's a elf going to do with his week off, go hang around Disney world? He gets to see enough of the surface world that he would prefer to be down underground with his wife. As he prepares for this he is called to use his Jegan to assist 6 recruits with their landing, before he has to leave. What could go wrong after all he's helping 6 kids land, that shouldn't take to long
After the 6 had safely landed, he launched his Jegan and flew strait to terra, where he caught the next shuttle down and finally got re-united with his wife*
*After the events of the opal incident we find Artemis doing absolutely everything he can but he still has to follow the time line. This caused him great distress, but he did it. They had no clue were opal could be hiding, and he would not risk her finding out who he was until she had revealed herself. But now they were on their way to see a man about a certain cube. This would be it; he would have his mind wiped after this. But he was prepared for that. After all they would not know he would remember everything. He was after all a fairy and his real personality would be fine. As they would try to delete his memory through a helmet, which after all doesn't work. But he would fake it for them, so they would not know.*
(A/N this is where the "Eternity code" would come in. the story follows exactly until the mind wiping part. So if you have forgotten please simply re-read it.)
Foaly: "So mud boy, got anything left to say before we mind wipe you?"
Artemis: "Actually I do, would you mind if I talked to mulch."
Root: "I don't see why not, you're not going to remember it anyway."
Artemis: Thank you command... "*Just then a message came through from private fowl* "What's wrong!"
Root: *no one can hear the comm. In his helmet* "What are you talking about boy?"
Private fowl: Sir we have found opal, but it's not good, she seems to have found a way into your building. She will be in your room in about 1 minuet. Watch out the window you your right, she may try to shoot you, Root, or Holly. Maybe Foaly, but I think she wants him to die slower than that"
Artemis: "I'll be right back private I think she's here faster than you thought" *see's opal in the window trying to aim her own neutrino at Root, and Holly who were standing in a line… moving quickly he dashes forward out of the chair, using his knowledge from training, to nock the two out of the way as fast as he can. When he does this opal fires, but misses.*
Holly and Root: "What was that for?" then they see the smoldering wall behind them. "Never mind"
Artemis: his suit was damaged by the blast and his stealth systems are damaged. He can't see well so he decides now is the best time to break from the timeline. "Private, where are teams alpha and bravo!"
*Holly, and root see the system deactivate and are freaked out to see a LEP uniformed, elf looking Artemis with 2 different colored eyes. Holly was the first to react.*
Holly: "What's going on Artemis?"
Artemis: "it's a long story, but that out there is Opal Koboi. Not the one you know, the one I followed back in time. He target could be any one of us. My team, fire team Charlie is here, alpha and bravo are almost hears. When they get here we should be able to escape. I'll explain the rest when were safely on the shuttle with private fowl…"
*It took them both a minuet to process the information he just told them. But hen it sunk in, and they were forced to ask*
Holly and root: "Private Fowl?"
*Artemis didn't answer he simply started firing at opal, who he soon realized was just a hologram… one that was projected around a useless robotic body, that had a neutrino with only one shot left in it. They had been shooting at a decoy. When it finally deactivated it began broadcasting Opals voice*
Opal: "So you shot me, you have been a god shot for some time captain, but can you do so when protecting your precious wife, who if remember correctly hates you around this time? Mwahahahaha!"
Artemis: "D'arvit Koboi, stop sending these useless things and come out of hiding. I just want to take you to a nice, padded prison cell!"
Holly: "Mud boy, or whatever it is you are, what in the world is happening, who is your wife, and why in the world did she just call you captain?"
Artemis: *looks down and realizes what he just did…* "Umm its not what it looks like Holly. I am Artemis Fowl the second, any DNA test would show you that. But I may not exactly be 'human' anymore. It's a really long story…. As for the captain thing, captain is my rank, so why wouldn't she call me it since she knows who I am?"
Holly: "That doesn't answer my question in the slightest. And you didn't even mention who your wife is. What are you ashamed?" *Realizes the last part of Kobois statement Oh so that's it, your wife hates you.* "That would be a answer, but common I would love to know who in their right mind would fall in love with a selfish kid like you!"
Artemis: "you know I don't think I'm going to answer that. Also I'm 95 years old, a captain, and have a son; I'm not a little kid, thank you very much. Speaking of him." starts speaking into the communications system, as he doesn't see his team here yet Julius! I though you said the rest of the teams would be here in a few minutes?"
Private Fowl: "I see them, they're in the next room over. They say they didn't want to interrupt you and the commander."
Artemis: moving around into the next room, with holy and root following "Alright how much did you hear?"
Rest of the team" All of it Sir, the fights between you and the commander are always amusing."
Holly: "If you guys are from the same unit as him, then you could tell me who his wife is can't you?"
Private Orion: "I'm sorry mam, but I don't think we should do that"
Root: "I would also like to know, if you wont tell then ill make it an order. Your all-wearing LEP badges so you should have to follow our rules right? Smirks
Artemis: *his face falls, he hadn't thought of that, he decides he might as well say it. Mumbling as quiet as he can* "holy short.."
Holly: "what was that? I couldn't hear." *smirking, trying to figure it out*
Artemis: * giving in* "Holly short..." *putting his head down*
Holly and Root: *face goes blank* "What?"
Root: "soldier I don't think I heard you right, care to repeat that?"
Private Orion: "No you heard right, he's married to Commander Holly"
Holly: "I'm not a commander"
Rest of the team each is adding their own part.: You are in our time. In fact it was on your orders that we were sent back in time, to find and bring back Koboi. But when we got here, we had a slight mistake."
Artemis: "My past self, touched my helmet, and was destroyed by the timeline… forcing me to remain here, I couldn't go back if I wanted to, the past was changed permanently, unless somehow it will go back to normal after we find Koboi. In any case, let's get back to the shuttle, since you two know about us why don't you come along anyway."
Holly: "if it involves getting rid of the person that just tried to kill me and root, sure, what else am I goning to do, sit here and wait for her to come kill us?"
Foaly: "Did everyone forget I'm still here...?"
Everyone else: "Yeah…"
Foaly: "Alright now that you all know I still exist, is there something I can do to help. Cause last time I checked Koboi wanted me dead too."
Artemis: "I suppose you could come along. But if my memory still serves me you didn't like it that last time Julius flew a shuttle. And I'm pretty sure, that if you in the future didn't like it, the you now wouldn't either."
Foaly: "Why? The only person I've ever been scared to let drive was holly, because she can and will make the shuttle do loops."
Artemis: "Because in our time he's the second most reckless, and second best pilot in the entire LEP…"
Holly: "Who's the first?
Everyone else: "Who do you think!"
Holly: "oh…"
Artemis: "He takes after his mother way to much…"
*The group proceeds out of the building, and to the shielded shuttle when they get there holy notices something about Artemis and 'private fowl'*
Holly: "Artemis, I just realized this but, why do you and 'Julius' have different colored eyes?"
Artemis: "that's a Long story"
Artemis and the group lift off, in the background a small flick of light is shown off of a lenses in several places around the building. Koboi saw the whole ordeal and was laughing off her seat. But oh well everything was going to plan and soon Fowl and holly would be in more trouble than they could imagine coming from such a small fairy
(A/N: inserting comment from other site that pertains to later chapters that have not yet been created: Alright, I am going to be making the character for the pilots of 'a mission to the Rise', and I don't know what to do for them… so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask to put others in the story.
