INTRODUCTION

VEIWPOINT-ACARIO JERRIGHOST

What you are about to read may not make any sense if you have not read the Artemis Fowl series. If you have, then perfect! You’ll understand just fine. If not, then I will give explanations to possible unknown content. My name is Acario Jerrighost, (do not make fun of my name) and I have some special talents. See, I am a Fate Bringer, a magical creature enhanced by The Fates to bring light to disputes on planets in different dimensions. Every now in then I get an assignment that states: save an Earth. I got a stroke of genius once; I thought, what if I wrote the adventure in a book? How much money could I get for it? How good would it be? Could I do it? So… I decided to try it! The world I saved is one with an Artemis Fowl. You might book and video game characters are fake, but that is a lie! Other Fate Bringers and Dimension Travelers make them with the same idea! Eoin Colfer found one of the 5 worlds with an Artemis Fowl and made a series about it! This world is different from the one he found though. There is no Minerva Paradizo, the French beauty that caught Artemis’s eye straight at puberty. Instead, there is a slightly pig-headed male named Apollo Paradizo, which proudly calls himself Artemis’s prodigy. Artemis’s mother also did not allegedly catch Speltropy (a fairy plague), and this story takes place when Artemis is 16. It doesn’t seem like much of a difference, but small things can make big ripples…


CHAPTER ONE
MEET THE FATE BRINGER

VIEWPOINT- ARTEMIS FOWL

Artemis was suddenly aware that he was very short. He wasn’t very happy about it, either.
Artemis was having a normal day until he showed up at the front door and made his life interesting yet again. The he was a tall 14 year-old boy with darkened blonde hair and spinning a ball of bright blue magic on the fingertip of his index finger. On seeing him, he chuckled and said, “You’re a lot taller in other dimensions!”
Artemis realized 2 things; A, this stranger had magic, humans weren’t supposed to have magic. Well, he himself had magic, but that was because he stole it out of curiosity in a timestream on the way to an island of demons. B, to the statement you’re a lot taller in other dimensions, what kind of statement is that? Was this stranger insulting him? Artemis noticed that he was actually taking offense to this statement! It’s not the size of the head that matters, it’s the brain within it, he told himself. Then again, yeah, you know who says that? Short people, that’s who!
Artemis was a certified genius. The last time he checked his IQ it was high enough to rival Albert Einstein. Unfortunately, since the age of 10 to the age of 15 he had used his intellect for crime. In fact, he had met one of his best friends, an elf named Holly Short, when he had kidnapped her to steal 3 million dollars worth of fairy gold. But eventually after several run-ins with the fairies, including stopping a goblin revolution, getting back a cube of fairy technology from an cocky and conceited human, and bringing an island of demons in the timestream back to Earth, he and the fairies had been considered allies, friends, to say. Later at the age of 15, he had realized that no more crime was acceptable to him, so he quit.
The stranger spoke. “May I come in, Artemis?”
Artemis was surprised. This stranger knew his name! He had to question him, to know why he was here.
Artemis started questioning, “who are you?”
“I? I am a Fate Bringer! I believe that on this planet, they are part of Greek mythology, am I correct?
Artemis racked his brains. He remembered something about Fate Bringers, they were magical creatures blessed by The Fates to bring light, or fate, to wars and famines on Earth.
“I don’t believe you. Give me proof” he responded back.
“Proof? I am a human with magic. I know your name but yet you confiscate files with your name. Fate Bringers are one of the oldest myths there are on this planet and yet I know about them. Anything more?”
“True, but you keep talking about different dimensions and the legend clearly states that Fate Bringers respond to crises on Earth.”
“How foolish you must be to think there is only one Earth!”
Artemis was confused, and that was rare, due to the fact that he normally understood everything. “There are more?” he asked cautiously.
“Exactly 369 to be exact! But there are only 5 where you exist, Artemis Fowl.”
“And… where are you from?”
“It is a world where you are a book character, “created” by a Dimension Traveler named Eoin Colfer”
“Why are you here? There’s no war at Fowl Manor.”
“True, but I need you to help me save Haven. How many times have you done that now?”
Haven was the city where all fairies lived to hide from the humans, who they called “mud-men” and viewed as savage and primitive. It was in the outer core of the Earth
Artemis answered sheepishly. “Three”
The stranger smiled. “Exactly, now call up Holly on that ring you have and tell her to bring Mulch Diggums, No. 1, Dooda Day, and Foaly. You bring Domavoi Butler and Apollo Paradizo.”
Artemis was surprised again. “How did you know I had-“
“A ring to communicate with Holly? Remember I said that you were a book character in my dimension? I read the entire series. Now go.”
“One more question.”
The stranger sighed dramatically. “Now what?”
“What do I call you?”
“Do not make fun of my name, it is Acario Jerrighost”

[Inuyasha]

This looks interesting. I can guarantee I'll be reading from now on! There was one thing I caught though...

"You might book and video game characters are fake"
You seem to be missing a 'think' here, but other than that I couldn't find anything. I happily await the next chapter! *sits in a corner and waits*

I already have it made, I posted this on another site, but got few reviews.

Chapter 2, the villians intro.


CHAPTER 2
BREAKOUT (AGAIN)

VIEWPOINT-SLASHER

Slasher enjoyed his job, no matter how dangerous it became.
He, his brother Striker, and his sister Shooter, were assassins for hire named The Skill Trio. Nobody knew what they looked like, for they never took off the black masks and all black tights they wore. Slasher and Striker had a very muscular build, and Shooter was a very beautiful elf. They had just got their biggest deal, a spot as a king or queen in a new empire if they broke Opal Koboi out of her jail cell. They eagerly agreed and had just gotten her out of Haven when a mud-man with magic captured her again! Then, shape shifting into LEP (Lower Elements Police) Recon Captain Chix Verbil, escorted her to a cell again and said to her “I know this won’t stop you, but it gives me time.”
Now The Skill Trio was staging a breakout again. But this time there was more security.
Slasher grinned. He enjoyed a challenge. He said to his sister, “there are 7 guards down there, can you hit them all?”
“I’ve been a sniper since the age of 14, what do you think? 10 guards is nothing!” she retorted.
Slasher and his siblings were trained until perfection in different forms of combat. They chose their names from the combat they were trained in. Striker was a black belt in karate, a master in tai chi, could box and wrestle, and took lessons from the best in street fighting. Shooter was the worlds best metalman, never missed a shot, with a human or fairy weapon. Slasher preferred daggers, knives, scythes, axes, and swords.
Slasher took humor at his sister’s comment. “There are more inside.”
“Perfect” she answered
“I think I can handle them,” said Striker.
“Slasher goes in, he’s a bit more lethal than you.”
Slasher grinned again. “But, But, But…” Striker pleaded.
Shooter ignored her brother and started sniping the guards. The first guard fell, “what was that?” another guard asked.
In the confusion, Slasher slipped inside. A guard saw this, “who are you and what are you doing? I have a license to shoot!” he demanded of Slasher.
Slasher grinned yet again and took his sword from it’s sheath. The guard raised his gun, but before he could shoot, Slasher cut off the hand holding the gun with extreme speed. Before the guard could scream, the sedative in the blade rendered him paralyzed and Slasher stabbed the blade into his skull.
More guards instantly came, he counted 20. He realized the only way out of this was to fight and charged. A guard shot at but Slashers’ sword absorbed the blast and he cut him in half. Another one came at him while others shot at him from afar. Slasher threw his blade, piercing the guard coming at him and stabbing into another. Slasher ran straight at that guard, ruthlessly pulled it out of him and sliced the two next to him. Two guards’ shot at him, he ducked and they ended up shooting each other. He threw his sword again, hitting three guards, and took out throwing knives. With blinding speed and accuracy, he threw 5.
there were now 5 guards, and they were backing away. Slasher laughed, an evil laugh. And pulled out his sword from the body of a dead guard. The guards were shaking with fear and they raised their guns. Big mistake, they were dead before they could pull the trigger.
Slasher admired the chaos he had created, another job well done. The mark of a true assassin is to face death and win. Multiple times.
He walked through the cell blocks, “Mistress Koboi? Where are you?”
“I’m right here, idiot!” retorted Opal Koboi.
She was in a maximum security cell, complete with camera feed. Great, more guards he had to fight.
He wasn’t a genius so he couldn’t figure out the security code, in frustration he stabbed the keypad. “Brilliant, Slasher, just brilliant,” Opal sarcastically said.
But then the force field that served as the door to the cell flickered and died. Opal’s surprise showed in her face. “How? How?”
Slasher grinned yet another time. “Hurry Mistress Koboi! There’s not much time until guards flood this area!”
Opal snorted, “of course you couldn’t do this discreetly, no, that would be too tough!”
“You have camera feed in your cell! We’ve got to go!”
So the two ran, and met with Striker and Shooter outside of the prison, and they flew away on stolen LEP wings to a castle in Ireland that nobody else knew existed.
“So…” Striker curiously asked, “I’ll still be a king, right?”
“And I to?” Asked Slasher.
“And I queen?” asked Shooter.
Opal answered, “yes, to a grand empire we will rule! But I will be grand empress; you will have less power than me. Why? Because I deserve it.”
The trio shook their heads. Opal Koboi was a pixie, the smallest form of fairy, with big wings and childish voices and features. She was very beautiful, but very twisted and conceited. She had nearly succeeded in taking over the world twice.
“and now…” Opal said, opening her arms wide like there was an audience cheering for her “my great reign begins!”

CHAPTER 3
SAVIORS 1 AND 2

VIEWPOINT-HOLLY SHORT

Ah, Krakenwatch, how much fun had she had with Krakenwatch?
Holly was a captain for the Recon squad of the Lower Elements Police, and she was one of the best. In her time as captain, she had helped stop a goblin revolution, stopped the mud-men from beating down Havens doors, and brought an island of demons to Earth. She had turned 3 criminals to the light; Mulch Diggums, Dooda Day, and Artemis Fowl, and had saved many lives, mud-man or fairy.
She was on a mission when she heard the most unexpected news of her life, Krakenwatch. Kraken, no matter how much mud-men obscured them, were peaceful creatures. They cause accidental danger like when they sink back into water and cause gigantic whirlpools, or when one of them dislodged an iceberg, which sunk the Titanic. Krakenwatch was exactly what it sounded like, watching Kraken, to see if they get into any accidental trouble.
“There’s several ships in the area” she said, she knew the mike in her Iris Cams would pick up the sound
“Make sure the mud-men don’t realize it’s not an island,” said Foaly, watching from Haven.
“Got it.” And she started looking at the mud-men, to see what they were doing.
Then something opened up on her visor, a message from Artemis, marked red for urgent and titled “reply quickly, Haven might end”.
“Foaly, I’ve got to take this message.” She said
“Now? Why?”
“It’s marked urgent, and in the title it says Haven might end”
Foaly groaned “alright, but I’m listening in to this all important message.”
She opened it, and Artemis’s face popped up .
“Holly” Artemis said, “I am choosing to speak with you directly for this is a matter of life or death to much of the fairy population”
“How?” Holly asked
“There is a bomb planted in Haven by Opal Koboi, it will detonate in 15 days. I have a guest here who can help Haven, but he needs you to bring Mulch, No. 1, Dooda, and Foaly.”
“Wait a minute, Artemis. How do we know he’s telling the truth?” Foaly put in. “Who is he anyways?”
“He is a Fate Bringer and is about 3,999,834,765,631 years old, by his own count. He-“
“Wait a second, you actually believe that crap?”
“He has given me evidence”
“Do you think he might have tricked you?”
Artemis smirked, “how many times have I outsmarted you, Foaly?”
Foaly muttered, his pride genuinely hurt, “twice…”
Holly giggled, then she saw the look on the hologram of Foaly’s face and abruptly stopped.
“So…” Holly said, desperately trying to change the subject. “Shouldn’t we question him ourselves?”
Artemis sighed, “sure, I guess. Acario!” he beckoned.
Holly couldn’t help but giggle again, Acario? What kind of name is Acario?
A smiling 14 year-old mud-boy came to the screen and he said, “please, it never did anything to you, so please don’t make fun of my name”
Holly was shocked “did I say that out loud?”
Acario shrugged, “no, I read your mind. Elves don’t have that ability?”
Holly cautiously said “not that I know of…”
Foaly was skeptical. “You read her mind from the other side of a video feed?”
“Yes, I just have to look at the person, even a picture of the person, and think the words ‘read mind,’ it’s instantaneous.”
“Read her mind again, then.”
Holly was appalled “have him read your own mind!”
“Right now Holly is thinking how much you don’t care for her own private thoughts, she is also thinking about how good it is to see Artemis again, even at a time of crisis. Her emotions show anger, and a funny sort of happiness.”
Holly was convinced now. But before she could speak, the stranger spoke again.
“Holly believes me. (I’m sorry for cutting you off, Holly) do you, Foaly?”
Foaly was still skeptical “3,989,854,785,621? Are you sure you’re not making that up?”
“It’s 3,999,834,765,631, and yes, I have kept accurate count.”
“That was before mud-men existed! That was before fairies existed!”
“That was on your Earth. Fate Bringers are dimension travelers, and I am not from this dimension.”
“An Earth where mud-men had existed for four trillion years?”
“Yes, in the order of planets created, it was the third. In fact, on my planet, humans hide from the fairy folk and call them savages and primitives!”
“But YOU’RE the savages and primitives!”
“Are you sure? You really think we’ll destroy you all when we found out about you? What if YOU didn’t know we existed and YOU just found out about us?”
Foaly was stumped, speechless. “I- I- I-“
“Don’t know? What if you also knew that you had higher technology than us? What would that mean? My best guess is war, and you would win. And besides, you know humans who aren’t half bad, don’t you?”
“Well, one’s a criminal genius…”
Holly decided to butt in at that moment. “-Who turned off crime. Now come to a decision. Will you agree and save Haven? Or will you let Haven explode?”
Foaly made his decision. “Fine… but I don’t know why you’ll be needing this many people…”
“It’ll be clear when you get here. Now go.”
“But I’m on a mission…” Holly protested
“I’m sure the commander could let you off for a time of crisis. Now go.”
“But-“
“GO!”

[ILiveForTheDay]

I liked this a lot more than the first chapter, putting yourself in a fic (even if it was just by name) was an interesting twist. The beginning talk didn't really seem to flow that well though, so work on that (then again, who am I to judge, I never get it to flow)

CHAPTER 4
THE PLAN

VIEWPOINT-OPAL KOBOI

Ah… now it’s time for the Age of the Grand Pixie.
She liked that name; she was trying to figure out what she was going to do when she ruled the world. Would Earth be called Opal, after it’s rulers name? Or would it be called Koboi, after it’s rulers last name? Or could she just keep it as Earth?
Opal had the greatest and most foolproof plan yet, she had planted a bio-bomb (a bomb that only destroys living things) in Haven and the other fairy city, Atlantis. Once those two were eliminated, she could easily destroy the mud-men world with the robot army she was creating! Of course, she was keeping several specimens from every humanlike species in captivity so the species could reproduce, but they would be under HER power! She would rule the world!
She would keep her word and let the Skill Trio be rulers too, but she would finally rule the world! Who knew all it took was to eliminate everybody in her way!
So now all it took is to eliminate that mysterious mud-man that took her back to a maximum-security cell. She had put a bug on him before he had left and now she could monitor all of his movements and conversations. Right now he was in… Fowl Manor.
Darv’it! (Fairy swear) Why does it always have to be FOWL!? Him and that Short girl had foiled both of her evil plans so far, so this irksome mud-man must of known this and gotten his help. She tapped into video and audio feed for the manor.
“It’ll be clear when you get here. Now go.” She heard the mud-man say. She found it odd that he was talking to the ring on Artemis’s finger.
But than she heard Holly’s voice from the other side, saying “But I’m on a mission…”
She understood. The ring was a disguised fairy communicator. Clever…
“I’m sure the commander could let you off for a time of crisis. Now go.”
“But-“ Holly started on the other side.
“GO!” the mud-man yelled, and communications stopped.
“Do you think she’ll go, Acario? She seemed very hesitant…” Artemis questioned.
The mud-man, who must have been Acario, answered “The last thing she thought was; fine I’ll go for Haven.”
“That would be Holly…”
“Yup, where’s Butler?”
“Probably been watching the whole scenario on video feed.”
“And Apollo?”
“I should be able to contact him, he lives in France though, would take a while for me to get him from Ireland…”
“How inconvenient, too bad he’s coming to the door right now…”
Artemis was ultimately confused, “what?”
Then the doorbell rang. “How did you-“
“-Know that? I have many magical abilities fairies dream of having.”
This impressed Opal; she herself had lost her magic by planting a human pituitary gland in her brain, maybe she could steal Acario’s magic for her own uses…
The doorbell continued to ring
“Better open the door…” Acario advised to Artemis
So Artemis went to the front door of the Manor.
Opal turned off communications and called up the Skill Trio. They instantly appeared
“Yes, Mistress Koboi?” Shooter asked.
“Nice boots, Mistress Koboi.” Slasher said.
“you are looking exceptionally beautiful, Mistress Koboi.” Striker flattered.
Opal smiled, the Skill Trio were a lot better then her last hench-fairies. She had to punish the last ones for not complimenting her many times.
“That mud-men is getting help from Fowl and his friends. I want you to… break up the party…”
All three smiled.
“Certainly, Mistress Koboi!” Shooter said.
“Brilliant plan, Mistress Koboi!” Slasher flattered.
“We’ll get the job done well, Mistress Koboi!” Striker assured her.
The three ran out of the castle as fast as they could.
Opal smiled. She finally had perfect help! And she would conquer the world with them.

CHAPTER 5
THE PARTY

VIEWPOINT-ACARIO JERRIGHOST

Before my eyes, I saw the heroes of Artemis Fowl line up before me.
You might wonder why the story is now in first person. The answer is simple. I am making the story, so the chapters with my viewpoint are first person. Why should I be using the words “I” and “me” on a chapter with the viewpoint of Artemis or of Opal, if they are not making the story?
So, anyways, Holly showed up at the Manor door with the fairies she was told to bring and I directed them to a room where Artemis, Apollo, and Butler were already waiting. They lined up left to right in front of me, looking at me with awe. Apparently Holly told them what I was. Perfect, now this’ll go easier, I thought.
I started spinning a ball of magic on my finger. (a little habit of mine) “Greetings!” I said, “My name is Acario Jerrighost, A fate bringer from the third planet ever created.”
I quickly scanned the room, reading everybody’s mind.
Mulch, Doodah, and Apollo were making fun of my name, Artemis was doing complex calculus equations in his head, Butler was wondering how close he should stay to Artemis to protect through this dangerous adventure, Foaly was complaining about having to come, No. 1 was wondering how magical I really was, and Holly realized I was reading everybody’s mind and quickly started thinking about why I’d brought everybody.
I started again, “Mulch, Doodah, Apollo, STOP MAKING FUN OF MY NAME! Butler, Your charge can handle himself because I’m going to train him on how to use his magic. He’ll probably be as powerful as No. 1. Foaly, suck it up and stop whining. No. 1, I am a little more powerful than you, but you can handle most of the magic I use, including reading minds. Holly, I will tell you all why I have brought you later, now I have tell why you’re here.
“Opal has planted a bio-bomb in Haven and another one in Atlantis to get rid of the fairy species, once the cities are gone she will massacre the world above. She has kidnapped 10 elves, dwarves, pixies, gnomes, goblins, trolls, demons, and humans and plans to let them free to reproduce after she has officially destroyed the world and rule over the new generations.
“She has the help of the Havens infamous assassins the Skill Trio” (Holly took a sharp breath) “and she’ll most likely have them come after us multiple times. For some reason, she has put a delay timer of 15 days on the bombs, and I believe it might be a trap for me.
“If she drains out my superior magic, she will become unstoppable, undefeatable. So I thought I needed reinforcements, troops. I thought ‘If there is a Koboi, then there must be a Fowl…’ since you are a book series in my dimension.
“Aperture Science, Zelda, Metroid, Halo, Harry Potter, Star Wars, multiple Marvels, D.C, Deltora, Lord of the Rings, etcetera, all exist. And you are fiction in my world along with all of those that have been listed previously.”
I read my guests minds at that time. Artemis was thinking ‘Aperture Science? Interesting…’
I smiled. If only he knew what it really was.
Holly was thinking ‘Artemis lied to me? He still has magic?’
The smile turned to a frown. Oops.
Foaly was thinking ‘murder everyone on the planet? Koboi has finally lost all sanity!’
Oh, so true. I decided to continue, “Why did I bring all of you? Because of your abilities and talents. Which abilities? Most of you already know.
“Artemis; you know criminal behavior and impulses. You are a genius and have outsmarted and saved The People on multiple occasions. The people here may not completely trust you, but they owe you their lives.
“Butler; you’re 10 feet tall and a powerhouse. You’re a master of most firearms and the youngest graduate of Madam Co’s Academy. You guard Artemis with your life and are extremely loyal. You are a valuable asset.
“Mulch Diggums; you are the greatest thief in Haven, Atlantis or any of the seven continents. You can break into any building, human or fairy, and you have proved that many times. And Koboi’s place of residence is a motherload of security. We need you.
“Holly, you live on instinct and you are able to do many things that other captains dream of being able to do. Every one of your missions you perform easily. You would never let anyone here die, and you would protect him or her with your life.
“Foaly, you are very well informed, and a whiz with tech. You have a sharp eye for noticing troubles, and have a personal grudge against Opal, which could drag her to us.
“No. 1, you are the most magical one in this room, besides me. You are very well trained and have no grudges. You’re a good security against Opal and her robots.
“Apollo, only one thing to say to you, two geniuses are better than one!
“Doodah, you can drive any vehicle, human or fairy. You drove a toy car 70 miles per hour in a place of residence! That takes skill! I don’t know if we’ll need that skill, but with Koboi, I’ve got to be cautious.
“Opal started the timer today, so if we leave soon we can get to her castle in Ireland in 12 days, 3 days before Opals bomb goes off. From then we can force her to tell us where the bombs are located and put her back in jail. Any questions?””
Apollo looked bemused, “12 days? Will we be walking or something?
I laughed, “yes. Any other questions?”
Apollo stuttered, “b-b-but why?”
“Why not?” I answered
“Why don’t we just use the Fowl Cessna?”
“Oh. Because if we do, the energy pulse 13 miles of the property will send the plane crashing to the ground and kill us all”
“Why don’t we fly the Cessna to the point of the pulse and then walk?”
I knocked him on the head, “what do you think we’re doing?”
He seemed frustrated so I gave him a break. “Any more questions?”
Foaly stepped up. “If we’re walking 13 miles, why 12 days?”
I shook my head. “Do the math. We walk a mile a day, and a mile and a half on the last 2 days. Any more, or are we done?””
Artemis stepped up, “sleeping conditions, food quality, walking times, protection, what are they?”
I smiled again. “Glad you asked!” I held out a tiny gray disk.
“This” I announced “is advanced technology from my planet. Throw it at the ground and it becomes a tent the size of an average living room, complete with bed, table, chairs, and carpet.” I put it away and took out 10 tiny black beads.
“These are cameras, Foaly will be monitoring these cameras 24-7 from his tent when we are not walking, there will be his own camera over his own head so he can watch his own back. I can conjure up food just by thinking about it and you can have whatever food you’d like. We will start walking at 8:00 and walk exactly a mile.”
Foaly complained, “Do I even get to sleep?”
“I have already used an enchantment on you that makes you not need to sleep”
Doodah asked “how do you know when it’s eight-o-clock if there are no clocks? And how do you know when the mile is through?”
“I don’t, but the geniuses here do!”
Butler came up to me “ There are ten cameras, but only nine of us. Who else have you invited?”
“Ah.” I wiggled my fingers, and several purple sparks came out “As a Fate Bringer, I can do hundreds of things mortals dream about. I was frozen at the age o-“
“Just tell me!”
“Why don’t I show you?” I closed my eyes and when they opened again they were bright purple. I started chanting in my home language.
“I barth ghy kon darh tae!
I kal rew thu fard sae!
I ark gaz has farus goot…
I fas toue Julius Root!”
What happened next always unnerved me. Can you imagine the skin being ripped off from you and what your body would then look like? Imagine that skinless body popping out of nowhere, including the blood. The skin came back after a few seconds and everyone gasped. It was the image of Julius Root, deceased commander of the Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance Squad.
He seemed startled “I’m in Fowl Manor? What’s going on here? Where’s Koboi? How did I survive that explosive on my chest?”
2 years earlier, Koboi had broken out of a hospital in Haven with one thing in mind, revenge. She had succeeded in killing Root.
Root had been one of the best commanders of the LEP. He was an elf commander that always pushed his officers to the limit and had a look of anger on his face constantly. He had a buzz cut and rarely smiled, but eventually he laughed more often.
I smiled, satisfied. “I had seen the Relife Spell done before, but I had never succeeded in doing it before! That must of used a lot of magic!”
He looked around “Who are you? How do you know about magic?”
I sighed. “Look, it took a long to explain the first time round, I don’t want to do it again. Long story short, I have gathered you all here to stop Koboi.
He looked around. “ I’m alive! Hello Holly, Foaly, Artemis, Butler, Mulch! But who are the others?”
“They came in the big picture after you died.”
“Holly, you’re taller! By about a foot and a half! You’re about the same height as Artemis!”
Seeing the uncomfortable look on Artemis’s face, I had to laugh.
Fairies were very short, about the size of a small child. Holly herself was a meter tall until the freak growth spurt. Then I remembered where I was and why I was there.
I finally lost patience “You can catch up later, now we have to save the world! Okay?
We walked to where the Cessna was kept. All the while Root was asking questions to the others like “How long have I been gone?” “Have you been promoted, Holly?” “Who’s the new Commander?”
We finally got there and realized we were beaten there. There were three figure clad entirely in black, with black masks covering their faces.
The Skill Trio…
The one in the middle stepped closer to them. A male one, very muscular in his arms and legs, armed with no weapons.
“Well, well, well…” said Striker “consider your party crashed!”

[ILiveForTheDay]

Woah, cliffie!

I really liked these chapters, though you included alot of unessecary information (we all know D'arvit is a fairy swear word). Bringing Root back was an interesting twist, but as H+A have come back from Limbo (were they were at least 3 years) it's impossible for him only to have been dead 2 years.

Other than that really looking forward to an update!

[Fatebringer]

I included the information because I posted this on a non-AF site first

and I forgot about limbo...

CHAPTER 6
STRIKES OF FURY

VEIWPOINT-STRIKER

“Well, well, well” said Striker, “consider your party crashed!”
Striker enjoyed antagonizing, he was considered the least deadly of his family, but the one that can inflict the most pain. He was more lethal than they all thought.
The Skill Trio had their preferred kill strikes, Shooter preferred headshots, right between the eyes. Slasher strikes in-between both ribs, popping both lungs. Striker preferred a major vein in the neck. His worked best.
Striker had been trained in his skill the longest, since the age of 10 (about two in mud-man years. His sister started shooting pellet guns a year later), so he was the most experienced. He proved that (and was proud of it) in combat.
“Mistress Koboi wants you dead.” He continued, “and we’ll carry out the task!”
“Mistress Koboi?” One of the mud-men asked, whom Opal had called ‘Acario’ “I’m guessing she has constant surveillance on you to see if you are not glorifying her?”
The three looked at random patches of air. “No! Of course not!” He stuttered.
“We happen to like Op- Mistress Koboi!” His brother followed.
“A-Absolutely!” Said his sister. Striker wondered, if Koboi really was watching, if they looked convincing.
Another mud-man spoke, a mud-boy, about 16, whom Opal called ‘Artemis.’ “So, judging by your builds and weapons, you’re the Skill Trio and you’ve come to destroy us with your fancy weapons and martial arts. Am I correct?”
“And we’ll succeed!” Slasher said “We’ll kill you for Mistress Koboi!” Once again his eyes scanned the place for cameras.
An elf, which Opal called Holly, (and with some hatred!) yawned. “Fine, go on with the pathetic attempt.”
Striker looked around, they were in an aircraft hanger, that was large enough to carry 3 planes. The doors out looked like they could take quite an impact. There was no place for his prey to run.
He grinned and the three charged. But before they got to take 5 steps, all chaos broke loose. Purple tentacles rose from the walls, floors and ceilings. The three tried to run, but a giant purple wall appeared behind them, leaving them to their fates. It was funny to say that, since they were going against The Fates slave.
“I am NOT a slave! I deliberately chose this 3,999,834,765,631 year long life!” Acario yelled.
Of course, he reads minds too. But at that moment Striker had more things to worry about then the privacy in his head being penetrated. He was about to die.
“They won’t kill you, as soon as they touch you though, you’ll faint.” Acario informed him.
Slasher experimentally poked one of the tentacles with his sword. The tentacle instantly disappeared. His sister’s eyes widened, she shot one, and it disappeared. The two started attacking them desperately while Striker just stood there, unable to touch the tentacles in any way.
Acario’s eyes widened, and all of the tentacles disappeared. Striker thought that he had won, but then a gigantic purple box surrounded them and gradually got smaller until it could barely hold them.
“Listen,” said Acario, “Tell Opal that we don’t play nice and for her to get off our backs, okay? And I’ll promise I won’t have to kill you the next time we meet in combat.”
Purple cloths of magic came straight from his hands, through the box, and smothered the three, making them not able to breathe.
All went black for Striker.
The three woke up back at the castle where Opal resided, a dark and dreary place. How did they get there? Could the mud-man teleport? If he could, then why couldn’t he teleport here? Or did Opal invent the transporter? Raises so many questions…
Opal was scowling at them, “You have failed me. You will be spending some time in my weapons test chamber.” the three gulped, Opals paranoia just happened to go to that extreme, there were absurd punishments for absurd things! If you didn’t compliment her you got locked up! If you insulted her (which happens very easily) you get tortured! Even as assassins they weren’t cut out for this job!
Opal continued, “I brought you there for one reason, to test the abilities of the team. Acario is the strongest of them all, and he, as you know, can take all three of you at once. Operation Strikes of Fury (I still think that is a terrible name, Striker) has failed. I will show you to the weapons testing chamber.”
“N-n-no, Mistress Koboi, don’t you think that we’re more valuable alive?” Striker hopelessly begged,
Opal smiled, “I won’t kill you, just make you determined never to fail again.”
And with that, came the worst torture the three had ever had.



CHAPTER 7: ENTRY 1
JOURNEY BEGINNING THOUGHTS

EXTRACT FROM THE JOURNAL OF ARTEMIS FOWL II

“February 18th, 2014

Today started me back on the adventure track. A stranger later known as Acario Jerrighost, came to my door and ordered me, with some evidence and persuasion, to call up Holly and tell her to bring 4 others. Acario later explained that Koboi had planted a bomb in Haven and Atlantis, and he was going to need our help to go to the source before the 15 day timers (which he thinks is a trap) go off. How he knows all this, I have no idea, but I’ll go along with it.
Three assassins from Haven showed up at the Manors hangar bay door. How they got there is unknown, since there is a supposed 13-mile energy pulse around the castle in which Opal is residing. It all seems fishy to me…
Anyways, they showed up at the hangar door, but Acario took care of them in less than a minute. That brings me to wonder why he needs us. After they were defeated, they disappeared in green smoke. Acario seemed surprised as well, has Opal drastically improved her tech? He seems to be able to get out of any trap easily. I asked what happened, and he panicked and said he had no idea. He doesn’t seem to be telling the complete story…
I’ve realized, in the two to five years it’s been since I’ve seen my magical friends that they’ve changed a bit. Foaly seems to have mellowed down, (but he still finds it hard to resist putting a hoof in Mulch’s face, that’ll be fun over the next 13 days…) No. 1 seems to be jealous of Acario, which is totally out of his character, and Holly seems to be jumpier, increasingly when she’s around me.
Highlights? Acario can magically produce food, which is BRILLIANT because Mulch can’t instantly empty our food supply! Julius Root (whom Acario reincarnated) seems to have newfound respect for me after Holly told him about my withdrawal from crime and my (as she put it) “heroics at Hybras that saved pretty much everyone’s lives”, Acario is going to teach me magic, and the journey will give me time to use my devious, evil genius side.
Basically; adventure, humiliation, and nonsense. The status quo of my life.”



EXTRACT FROM THE NOTES OF ACARIO JERRIGHOST

“Date: I have no idea… have to ask someone the day and year, don’t I?

Random Fact of the Day: There are actually 370 time-streams, 1 for each Earth and one that connects all of the Earths. That is the one I ride around on and where the demon islands are. (used to be 5, now there’s one. The demons there don’t like me, the last time I went there I got a crossbow arrow in my back…)

Reminders and Thoughts: Have to decide which magic I’m going to teach Artemis, because he is a mud-man who recently took magic, the magic part of his brain knows no limits, so he’s at the same level as me…
I’m deciding, for the 13 lessons, that I should teach him these things
1. The Six Elements and Elemental Magic
2. Reading Minds and Emotions
3. Magical Barriers
4. Physical Mesmerizing
5. Magical Shaping
6. Basic Chants
7. Elemental Mixtures
8. Magical Chi Enhancement (which I call “Ghost Chi”)
9. Aura Tinkering
10. Shape-shifting
11. Magical Weaponry
12. Illusions and Status Changes
13. Nullifying Magic

That should give him the basic needs for magical combat and survival.
I feel guilty for not allowing the party the entire truth, if they knew the true danger of this journey they would never of agreed to come along, they would of flat out refused… then again, they’ve been through hard times also…
I can’t make up my mind, so I keep scanning their minds to see if they’re suspicious. Artemis is, and I can’t get hold of Holly’s mind, she keeps changing it at the last second… What is she thinking and how does she know whenever I’m reading people’s minds?

Thoughts for Tomorrow: ooh… it’s going to be fun… can’t wait!”
