Chapter 1

This is my first fanfiction. This is a continuation after "Atlantis Complex". Please leave reviews/comments!

I don't own any of the characters in Artemis Fowl, only Eoin Colfer can say that.

He woke up with a pounding headache, feeling confused and disoriented. He struggles to sit up and is rewarded with a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"Hey, everyone! Look, he's up! The little genius finally is done his nap," shouted a stout figure excitedly.

"Wha...?" Artemis winced as the figure's loud voice drilled through his head. "Where am I? And where's Butl—Oh my!"

He only got this much out because all of a sudden he recognized the oddly shaped person.

"Why, it's you, Foaly!" Upon closer inspection he found that Holly, Foaly and Butler were all watching him behind a thick window.

"I see. Well, one question's been answered, but one still remains. Where am I?"

"I'll answer that one Mud Boy," declared Short. "You are in the finest Atlantean mental hospital below the earth! Does any of this sound familiar?"

"Hmmm... I see. Why am I here? No no! Wait! I remember now. Atlantean complex, was it not? Ah yes, those little demon fours. Not surprising, really. Getting dragged into a demon's dimension for even a brief amount of time takes a lot out of a person."

Butler stepped inside the gray, drab room, containing only a hospital bed and Artemis. "Are you feeling better?"

"Why of course! No fours to worry about, and no fives to count!"

"Well then you won't mind our usual test of this... What is 263.8 x 49.75? What is the capital of Ecuador? How old are you?"

"Calm down, good friend! But, as you wish. Um let's see... Well that would be about, uh... hmmm. Give me a minute here. Well, I can easily answer one of these questions. I am 14 years old."

4 pairs of wide, shocked eyes stared at Artemis. Butler knew the answers to the questions beforehand. Questions Artemis could usually answer in a near comatose state. They were 13 124.05, Quito, and 15 and a half years of age. Everyone wondered if this was an instance of Artemis' dry humour, or if there was something quite wrong with their young friend.

"Artemis," Butler started, "did you say you were 14?"

"Of course! Well, maybe 14 and a bit if you're being technical, but who needs that?"

Again all faces look towards him in confusion and shock. Master Fowl was the person in this group most likely to want, even demand, technicalities!

"Foaly, we've got a situation," Holly whispered to her friend, "Did this treatment have a side-effect of memory loss?"

"No! It would be too risky! I patented this remedy, so it can't have that severe of a side-effect!" Holly gave the centaur a look that led him to quickly follow up with, "But I can search that up just in case..." He nervously whinnied while the search completed.

"Here we have it," he started, "No memory lo—wait a minute! Oh my gods! How can this be?"

"What? What? Tell me in simple terms, for you know I'm not one for patience," demanded Butler.

An awful lot of anger and veiled threats headed my direction, Foaly thought. I get no respect. But luckily he said this only in his head. In plain English he said, "There's a slight miniscule chance of memory loss when using the treatment for Atlantis Complex. And also a slight chance of decrease in knowledge."

Butler gave Foaly a look that spoke 1000 words. "How could you overlook this? This is NOT a minor problem that can be fixed! Explain yourself!" roared Butler.

"Ok, take it easy," he said shifting nervously, "No need to alarm ourselves. Let's just be glad the Atlantis Complex is gone and Artemis is healthy again."

"Umm hello? Still in the room, over here!" said Artemis.

Who is this, and what have they done to the real Artemis? Artemis would never stoop to such low vocabulary and manners. We must go along with him until we reverse him to his old ways, thought Butler.

"Never you mind! All's well! We will take the first shuttle home and along the way I shall have some...interesting stories to tell you." Butler had formed a plan. Maybe he could trigger back the memories by telling Artemis about his forgotten adventures, starting with his rescuing the demons, time traveling to save a lemur, and defeating Turnball Root. This had better work...
