Hello my readers!
Sorry that I haven't updated in while, I've been very busy with schoolwork and relatives visiting so my fanfiction time has been very limited.
Anyway, I have returned because of a very great idea, which I found in some other Fanfictioner's story.
(It was Izzypure's Ailing star story by the way :D)
So anyway on with the story!
(Haven't said that for a while...)
The huge hulking machine stomped around the icy mountaintop, as Captain Holly Short attempted to slow it down using her Neutrino 5000, on it's highest setting, which could stop a rampaging bull in mid-charge.
The machine was enormous, it had eight giant metal spidery legs and one blood red flashing eye in the front. There was a opal coloured glass dome covering the top where the person who controlled the giant robot resided, and many small robotic claws sprouted from the underbelly of the metal beast.
The giant machine was being controlled by Opal koboi, (No surprise there) whose small pixie hands flew around her small control panel like fighter jets would fly around Godzilla.
Artemis was sitting not too far away, trying to hack into the spider machine using his super-laptop, but not with much luck.
Suddenly, the spider machine's many underbelly claws extended towards Holly and snatched her Neutrino 5000 away.
"Hey!" Holly cried.
The claw squeezed the small pistol until it crumpled.
Then Artemis cried in joy, "I've got it!"
Holly dashed over and peeked at his laptop, which now presented three large words surrounded in their own coloured bubbles, the words were "Fire", "Self-destruct" and "Bigger self-destruct"
Artemis scrolled the mouse over and selected "Bigger self-destruct".
Inside Opal's spider machine, her control panel started to spark and smoke profusely.
"NOOOOOO!" She howled, then accidentally hit the "Eject" button, which was also malfunctioning.
Opal's opal coloured glass dome slid back, than her opal coloured "Hover-Boy" launched itself and it's passenger off into the distance.
"I WILL BE BACK!" She screamed.
Back to Artemis and Holly, the spider machine was now smoking black clouds in very large quantities, the legs wobbled for a slight moment, then gave out sending the body of the spider machine speeding towards the ground.
As soon as the metal gave a large resounding boom on the rock floor, it exploded, violently.
Flames erupted from the metal spider, bending the metal beyond repair and sending a large wall of red, orange and blue death heading towards Artemis and Holly.
"D'arvit" said Artemis and Holly in unison.
And suddenly, just as the wall hit them, and just before they could feel extreme pain, they seemed to be in the time tunnel again.
Well, it seemed like the tunnel, because of all the flowing gnommish runes and the green and blue colours surrounding them.
Artemis tried to look down at himself but only found, nothing, just blue, green and lots of gnommish runes.
He looked back up and saw something quite odd, the tunnel looked quite normal, there was the bright light at the end and blue and green surrounded them as normal, but then black streaks flew down the tunnel and touched the bright light, turning quite a bit darker, and turning the green and blue shades of the tunnel walls also darker.
It seemed as though something were tainted.
The runes that flowed around them had turned black as night, and were flowing at an eerily slower pace.
Suddenly, Artemis was chucked out of the stream and onto a small fluffy bed, in an apartment that resembled Holly's quite a lot...
Shaking his head, he stood up to see where Holly had ended up but saw no-one else pop out of thin air.
Interesting... Thought Artemis.
Beside the bed was a tiny alarm clock, Artemis quickly read the clock, which said "April 25th 2001"
"We've gone back 12 years..." Artemis said to no-one in particular.
He scratched the side of his head and felt something wrong with his ear, he traced the outline and felt that it was no longer rounded like a human ear should be rounded, but pointed.
This isn't correct. Thought Artemis.
He looked down at his body and found he was wearing an LEP jumpsuit.
Artemis quickly located the bathroom and checked himself in the mirror.
He found, much to his surprise, that he had become an elf.
If I'm an elf... Artemis wondered. Then where am I now?
Then realization dawned on him.
This is close to the time that I kidnapped Holly, Thought Artemis. If I'm an elf...
In other words it meant he was no longer doing the kidnapping, but being the kidnapped.
Or, he was now Holly and Holly was him.
This was really quite confusing.
First chapter done!
Anyway, a couple answers for the questions you may or may not be asking.
Artemis is not a female now, think that they just switched roles, which means they still keep there genders, I'm not going to go that crazy in my stories, EVER.
