"Okay. Holly then makes them dances like to like ballarinas, making them twirl and spin. Boy this is fun!"
Holly then makes Butler jump out of the window and makes Artemis rip his pants. It was becoming a riot for her, she then gave Artemis a wedgie and strung him up a flagpole.
"Well, Artemis always wanted to be part of the government."

Foaly has been nervously observing the entire time, chewing his nails and switching his tail anxiously. Finally, he can't take it anymore and he speaks up.
"Holly, I think you can call it quits now," he tells the captain, "You've had your fun and the commander is going to skin all three of us alive if you don't knock it off and get out of there."

"Alright, alright don't get your butt in a bunch! Chix pull out, Foaly is being a party pooper."
Holly chews her lip after Foaly starts doing his little paranoid act, she tempts herself to do something meaner and far more humiliating. But she talks herself out of it.
"We're pulling out."
Holly releases Artemis and Butler from the mesmer and prances off with Chix.

"You're listening to me? You're actually listening to me?" Foaly slaps himself in the forehead as though he's immobilized with shock, "I don't believe it. I'll have to write this down--'February 3: Holly actually listened to me'. Which is a good thing too, Ms. Short, considering we have a group of runners. Some gang of goblins has gone topside not far from Fowl Manor. We need you and Chix over there ASAP to help apprehend these guys before things get serious. I'm sending all the info you need to your visor. Stand by."

"Never mind your little diary Foaly, we need to get to that goblin gang before they destroy everything! C'mon Chix we need to search the perimeter of the Fowl Manor, who knows what those goblins could do. Other then be stupid!"
Holly starts up the wings on her Hummingbirds, and starts off in direction Foaly told her to go. Of course she had to do a status report for the area.
"Foaly, I don't see any. Wait! There! Over there, in the bushes, there's the little slimey sons of a Mud Men!"

[glow=green,5,300]"Foaly keeps a diary?" Chix blinks, though he's not entirely surprised as the centaur does seem like just the type who would write every moment of his boring life in some little book under lock and key, "Well, that's...interesting. Hey, Foaly, is your diary the traditional one you can actually tear pages out of or is it some online thing you need a password for?"
As Holly points out one of the goblins wandering around, Chix forgets about Foaly's diary and tries to focus on the mission at hand. He is about to say something, then some movement off to the left catches his eye.
"Hey, isn't that Scalene?" he nudges Holly in the ribs with his pointy elbow to get her attention, "10 pounds of fairy gold says he's the ringleader--again. I'll set him up. You get into a position where you can take him out when he's not looking."
Without waiting for any orders from Holly, Chix climbs in altitude until he is hovering several feet above and just behind the older goblin. He makes a face as Scalene barks gibberish orders at his cohorts. One thing is for certain--goblins are stupid in both word and deed.
"Hey! General Scalene!" the sprite shouts, getting the alpha goblin's attention as he turns to look up at him with an inquisitive grunt, licking his eyeballs reflexively, "Y'know, if bird poo were brains, you'd have yourself a mighty clean cage!"
It takes the old goblin a moment to realize he's just been insulted. When it finally strikes him, he emits an enraged hiss and snorts a fireball, which he promptly hurls at the annoying sprite. Chix dodges away effortlessly, yawning as the fireball whizzes past his head.
"Is that all you've got?" he taunts with a bored expression on his face, "I guess old age is catching up with you, ain't it, scaley boy?"[/glow]

"Chix! Do you wanna go into the infirmary again? Don't provoke him just let his brains dwindle a little bit, then we can taunt him."
Holly winks at general Scalene. Not the wink where "I want to be your friend" the wink that says "I want to fry your insides" but Scalene is to stupid to figure that out, so he just throws a fire ball at Holly but the old goblin's aim was off. So he missed entirely.

[glow=green,5,300]"Hey, don't get your jumpsuit in a bunch, Cap'," Chix pooh-poohs away her warning, "Relax. The Chix man has everything under control. Besides, Scalene couldn't hit a target two feet in front of him. Watch this."
Chix flits up behind Scalene and taps him on the shoulder. When the ugly beast turns around, Chix busts him in the mug with a full-fisted punch. Of course, he really hurts his knuckles in doing so, but he tries to hide that from Holly as the goblin stumbles back, caught off guard.
"See? Piece of cake," he squeaks, forcing a grin as he rubs his sore hand, "It doesn't take much to outwit a goblin."[/glow]

"I saw that, you hurt your fist, and don't try lame excuses either."
Holly then resumes her attention on the disgusting goblin, she watches the disgusting thing lick it's eyeballs and slobber dripping from his mouth. Holly feels nauseated do to the thing licking it's eyeballs.
"Focus your fire on Scalene, Foaly, send in a recon squad to back us up."

"Backup is on the way, Holly," Foaly replies calmly, "Just hold them off and try to keep them in one place. It's bad enough we've got a whole gang loose. We don't need to be chasing individual runners all over creation. The last thing we need is a million and one humans seeing them and then we're faced with mass mind-wiping."
He pulls up a screen monitoring both the goblins (red dots) and the two officers, Holly and Chix, (green dots). Things appear to be under control--for now anyway.
"I've got everybody on screen," he informs Holly, "Looking good so far. Keep up the good work, Captain."

"Thank you Foaly." Holly pulls a sniper rifle off of her back, and starts shooting using extreme accuracy. She focuses the scope to make sure the goblin is in her sights and then pulls the trigger.
"Try beating that LEP Marksmen Simulation! Holly then sees a recon squad lead by Corpral Grub. They made it!"

[glow=green,5,300]"My fist is fine," Chix lies through his teeth as he knows the green skin will probably be black and blue in the morning, "The Chix man is invincible, Cap'. Don't you know anything?"
He looks up as the Recon Squad flies in the typical V formation...and his jaw drops as he sees Grub at the point. This is completely out of the ordinary in his mind.
"Grub is leading a Recon?" he gapes stupidly, "I never thought I'd live to see the day. Of course, we both know this is gonna end in disaster. Grub couldn't give orders for a cheeseburger--let alone a Recon Squad."[/glow]

Grub touches down, landing in a surprisingly graceful manner near the hedges on the border of the Fowl estate. The rest of the squad touches down just behind him and they await orders. Swallowing his nervousness, the corporal motion half the squad to go one way and the other half to go the opposite direction. No doubt, he's instructing the others to form a living fence in which to keep the goblins enclosed.
"Current status, Captain?" he asks, speaking to Holly through the open channel. Catching Scalene in sight, he shudders lightly and draws his buzz baton.

"Grub, haven't you ever heard of a pistol or a rifle? We're supposed to use lethal force in this mission. Ya' know shooting the convicts and stuff."
Holly says in in a harsh voice, focusing her fire on the lead goblin. She shoots the old goblin in the rear end, and laughs when his tiny brain finally registers a yelp.
"Take the you slimey scum!"

"I have all necessary weapons, Captain," Grub replies, surprisingly calm and acting almost professional, "I'm part of Retrieval One, remember? We don't fool around. I just...I kind of like the buzz baton."
He doesn't mean to sound arrogant, but he is making an effort to act more professional--especially after having both his brother and the commander chew him out earlier today.
"So what do you know so far?" he asks again, "How many runners are we dealing with?"
