Junior Mastermind
A/N: I know it could never happen... but what if it did?
"Welcome to today's very special Junior Mastermind, where we pit two genii against each other to see who is the ultimate boy genius! Please welcome our first contestant... Irish boy genius
Artemis Fowl II!"
A raven haired teenage boy walked confidently on to the stage to rapturous applause. The shadowy outline of a huge man was visible in the wings from whence the boy came. Artemis turned to the host.
"So Artemis, do you think you can win this?" asked the host.
Artemis smiled arrogantly.
"Of course. I expect my opponent to be a pushover."
Before the show, Artemis had decided to play cocky. He had no doubts that he would win.
The host's eyebrows raised.
"Very sure of victory! So, who's supporting you?"
Artemis pointed to an area where a large banner that read 'Team Artemis' was draped. He sighed inside as he saw Team Artemis. It was Holly's idea, and the elf herself(disguised) stood by the banner, grinning.
"Team Artemis," Artemis said dryly.
"Well, looks like you have a lot of support! Team Artemis, raise it up for Artemis Fowl!" the host called.
There happened to be quite a few new Team Artemis converts(a.k.a fangirls) in the audience, who added to the noise for Artemis, who waved to the audience and 'Team Artemis' in a very un-Artemis Fowl way, before casually sitting down.
Once the noise for Artemis had died down, the host began again.
"Welcome our other contestant, mysterious English boy genius Otto Malpense!"
There was an awkward silence. The white haired boy had not yet arrived. A quiet crack was heard, and a Shroud appeared. Said Shroud deposited about twenty H.I.V.E students, holding various banners supporting Otto, another twenty G.L.O.V.E agents there to protect and support him, Raven (who added to the mass panic) and the boy himself, accompanied by Laura, Wing and Shelby.
Otto had somehow managed to procure a megaphone.
"WE COME IN PEACE!" he yelled," THIS IS-"
"SPARTA!" yelled Shelby.
Otto glared at the blonde.
"TEAM OTTO!" he continued," My good friends here will try to convince you to support us!"
All around the world, Team Otto's video was beamed to every TV set. Nero sighed in his office. Malpense didn't do things by halves. But, thought Nero, that was the mark of a good villain. Nero settled back to see Franz promising to give free chocolate to every person who supported Team Otto.
Five minutes later, when the video had finished, the dust had cleared, and Team Otto had gone to their allocated spot, the host restarted the questioning.
"So Otto, you must be happy with your entrance, and your huge support," said the host .
Huge was an understatement. 75% of the audience were Team Otto, and viewers across the globe - with G.L.O.V.E 'persuasion' - were firmly Team Otto. Artemis had raised an eyebrow. This was very interesting. Perhaps his adversary would pose a challenge...
Otto nodded.
"Very dramatic. I don't do things by halves," he said.
"We can tell," the host agreed," Let's get ready to play Junior Mastermind- Battle of the Boy Genii!"
A/N: Please tell me what you thought. This is unlikely to get an update for a while, but that could be changed. Hope you enjoyed it!
