Chapter: "Something weird happened on the way to the garden"

*3 days earlier, LEP HQ, another mind wiping facility.*

Random Fairy: "When's Foaly going to get here…"

Random Fairy #2: "I don't know, let's just get this over with and return him to the surface. Even unconscious he's still scary" *shudders

Random Fairy: "Well our orders are simply to mind wipe him, it doesn't specifically say that Foaly HAS to be there" *shrugs*

Random Fairy #2: "Let's get this over with then"

*the 2 Fairies wipe butlers mind, just as they always had. Nothing goes wrong, in fact it couldn't have gone better even if Foaly was there. The 2 send him on the next shuttle to the surface, where he is then transported the rest of the way to the manor. *

*2 days from the present, Fowl manor, Butlers room.*

*Alarm: Beep, Beep, Beep.*

Butler: "I get it, shut up." *Hits the alarm*

*gets up, gets dressed, realizes something is wrong, attempts to fix it. Can't find the problem… goes about his normal day, by making breakfast for Artemis.*

Butler: *Goes to Artemis's room., and opens the door.* "Artemis breakfast is rea… Artemis, Where are you. This is not the time for games"

*…*

Butler: *franticly running all around the house looking for Artemis, waking Artemis's mother and father. "Artemis come out, this isn't funny"

Artemis senior: "What's wrong butler?"

Butler: "Artemis… I can't find him."

*A loud crash is heard outside. Followed by a tremor, similar to an earthquake.*

*All 3 of them run as fast as they can towards the source of the noise, the garden.*

Butler, Angeline, and Artemis Senior: "What in god's name is THAT!" *Angeline faints.*

*In front of them is a large humanoid robotic thing. It's nearly 30 meters tall, painted green, with a single red eye. Across its forehead was a single green horn; it looked like a large human wearing some kind of biohazard suit. It had a large rifle, which could was the size of an old battleship cannon. In its chest, the thing is open. It was starting to get bright out so butler decided to put on sunglasses, as soon as he did the unit disappeared, but he could still see it around its edges.*

Butler: "Mr. Fowl, please look through these." *hands him the glasses

Artemis senior: "Why?"

Butler: Please sir, I think you can't see it if you're looking with anything over your eyes."

Artemis senior: "alright" *puts on the glasses "what the? It disappeared but I can still see it around the edges"

Angeline: *waking up* "Well that was quite a dre…" *sees the Zaku again "It wasn't a dream was it?, well let's see what in there."

Butler: Mrs. Fowl, I do not believe that is the best of ideas."

Angeline: "I believe that there may be someone in there, and if there is I want to help them. Call it a woman's intuition if you must, but I'm going up there"

*Begins climbing up the Zaku, when she sees a name etched into its right arm "Hawk of Endymion" and Lieutenant Mwu LaFlaga.

*She pushes on and gets to the cockpit, where she sees the pilot, knocked out by his rough landing, sitting in his chair.

Angeline: "Get up here, NOW!"

Artemis senior, and butler: Startled "Yes Ma'm" *begins running up to see what's wrong before they can get yelled at more.

Angeline: "Now help me get him into the house, he seems to be injured and it wouldn't be good if he can't tell us why he destroyed our garden. I'm sure there's a good reason after all."
