Shenyang, China

   Artemis looked out at the urban landscape. A perfect robbery spot. He’ll have a few more billions in his Swiss checking account, plus he’ll be the first fifteen year old to conduct full-scaled armed robbery. But the thought troubled his mind. After the demon incident Artemis was forced to avert his criminal lifestyle. Normal, legitimate life was dull. He grabbed a hand gun from butler and strapped on a Kevlar suit. He was armed and bulletproof. It was a funny sight, a genius fifteen year old armed? It wasn’t Artemis but it was the plan.

Butler loaded his Sig Sauer 0S7. Butler didn’t like this plan, something was up, the manservant could feel it. “Ready,” said Butler. Artemis nodded.

“I’m here too,” said mulch indigantly.

“Yes, we know,” said artemis in a low whisper, its the plan.

butler stepped out of the dark alley into the main entrance. Ten musclemen guarded the area, loaded with guns and snipers.

“I guess they expect intruders,” Mulch said.

Butler stepped to the counter and drew a phony passport.Typical. The manservant had a stack of illegaly imported Chinese, Austrain, British, and Swedish birth certificates and passports at home not to mention many more. He smiled to himself he was almost paranoid. He handed the man at the counter an Italian passport. “Vincent Formatos,” he said without a tremor in his voice. The man was pretty smart, they didn’t throw a normal employee a six million dollar paycheck. No this guy was smart, professional. He decided to conduct a usual interrogation. The Chinese chief security inspector prodded his rimmed glasses.

“Hmm, occupation?”

The disguised Italian answered almost instantly. “Accountant, Accountant Vincent Formatos of the Italian  Imperial Financial Services.”

The man stared blankly, and paused. “Purpose…,” he said still thinking.

“I have some gold deposits in the inner vaults, said Butler. “I need it for personal, business reasons.”

The man thought, Came out and grabbed Butler’s gun in a swift move. “Fire”, he said to the potential gunmen. Two blasts were sufficient and Butler fell. “I’m a world-class samurai and a brilliant security officer,” said the man smiling.”I know you are fake, you knew of the inner vaults, that’s top secret stuff. So you planned this you planned a surveillance.” He kicked Butler at the shin. “Pity…,” he muttered. Butler smiled. The plan is perfect.

Higher Elements, Haven City

   Holly was at the higher elements, utterly enjoying herself. There was a lot to be happy about, but there was sadness too. The destruction of the lower elements had caused an uproar in the fairy world, so a subsitution was made. The higher elements had its grand opening in haven city, It was basically a team of elite specialists operating in various sites. But the proudest moment was when holly was made head commander, the first female commander. The best thing was that Holly only had her friends in the higher elements, and they were all promoted. Foaly, head security manager and inventor, major Vinyaya, and Vice Commander Trouble Kelp were mainly the heads of the higher elements. The rest just listened and followed.

   The destruction of the lower elements was a sad thing, however. No lives were lost, but the equipment was gone. The higher elements had to start from scratch. But fortunately, a team of pixie multi-billionaires were wiling to help. The main convict was Gregory Arcelor, a maniacal maddemon seeking world dominance, and destruction of Fowl. Holly checked the scanning monitors, the demon was there pounding the cell walls. You had to feel bad for him though, he was shot, drugged, thrown, kicked, you name it. Then he started doing something strange, picked out mucus from his nose and splattered it on the reinforced walls. A demon gone insane Holly thought.

Foaly looked at the microscanner and rubbed his head. “He’s upto something,” the Centaur said.

“What?” said Holly eagerly.

Foaly picked out a virtual graphics enhancer and a microchip. “Let me enhance the photons,” he said.

“Excuse me,” said Holly.

The Centaur didn’t answer. He enhanced the image. “Trouble,” he said. “Big trouble.”

Holly’s eyes widened. “Explain.”

Foaly spoke in a meek voice. “He’s a genius,” the centuar said. “He’s planting a nucleation Eon missile,consider yourself finished.”

Holly didn’t understand but went for the cell….
