Holly stirred ever so slightly as Butler walked into her room at the clinic. "Holly." he said as he successfully shook her awake. "Wha-aa?" the elf groggily groaned. "Holly! Artemis is awake!" Holly jumped up, ready to rush out the door, for she had slept in her clothes. "Well? What are you waiting for?! Lets go!" As he followed the now animated elf out the doorway into the hall beyond, he thought Was she not just sleeping?

Holly, Butler, and Foaly, who they picked up along the way, burst into the little clinic room. "Mud Boy!" Foaly whinnied. "Arty!" Holly beamed. Butler, ever quiet, merely murmured the boy's name. Foaly clip-clopped over to Artemis's bedside. "Hello, centaur." he weakly said. "Is it really you, Artemis? Not some deluded, love struck lunatic?" Holly quickly 'shushed' him. Artemis merely nodded. "Yes, it truly is me, and that 'deluded love-struck lunatic' is a part of me, however far-fetched that may seem. Don't worry, I don't really understand either." Holly faked a gasp. "Artemis? Not understanding something?! This is a first!" The pale, feeble Mud Boy looked up at the slightly sarcastic elf, and muttered something that none of the others quite caught.

"Pardon? We're not used to you muttering, Artemis." The sickly pale, teenager paused for a moment, the Atlantis Complex clouding his mind. "H-Holly? Do you think you could move just a little to the right? And maybe re-stack those books in alphabetical order?" The rest of the group sighed. "Arty," Holly murmured, "This is not you talking! Its the Complex! Fight it, Mud Boy, fight it!" Butler sat down, almost creating a small earthquake in the tiny room. "Artemis?" he asked. "I'm sorry." Artemis thought for a moment, then strongly spoke. "Please, don't be, my friend." The clinical room's occupants, (excluding Artemis,) all winced collectively at his stilted, odd-sounding speech. Suddenly, he jerked back, as if recoiling from an unseen foe. "Arty?" she implored. "What's wrong?" The vampire-ish teen looked up, his eyes filled with fear. "Four equals death! Go away!" The terrified Mud Boy dived under the thin, cotton covers, trembling. Foaly quickly made his exit, whilst Butler led a distraught elf out the doorway.

As the group of friends sat in a small cafe, N.1 joined them. "What's wrong?" the imp questioned, noticing their downcast expressions. "Artemis's Complex is getting worse.. He almost had a panic attack," Holly cried. N.1 gasped. "What?!" He is getting worse! What is Argon doing?!" Butler shrugged. "Neither patient nor doctor will speak of the therapy sessions, regretfully." N.1 only nodded sadly, as Artemis mountain of a bodyguard still kind of scared him.

Doctor Argon knocked on the Mud Boy's clinic door, then entered without an response. Though Artemis heard the doctor entering, he feigned sleep, still failing to escape the session's first question. "Artemis. I know you are faking rest. I just so happen to be an expert in sleeping patterns and psychology, you know." Artemis snorted. "An expert? I am confident that I have all your knowledge, tenfold." Argon rolled his eyes, impatient with the sarcastic Mud Boy's behavior, and ready to interrogate his 'star patient'. "So. Are you ready to start this session? I have brought my electroshock equipment. I am eager to see where small shocks take us." Artemis scoffed. "Eager? I'm sure. And what do you mean by us? I am the one being shocked here, after all." Argon said nothing, but merely attached the electropads to Artemis's temples. "Let us get on with this then," Argon implored. He pressed a small button on the machine, sending an electromagnetic shock vibrating through the prone teen's skull...

Artemis? You're back? Artemis heard a copy of his own voice, speaking, (or is that thinking?) in his mind. When he finally opened his eyes, he was greeted by a carbon-copy of himself, or at least his anatomy. Orion, he thought, groaning inside. Was that possible, groaning silently inside oneself, whilst in your own mind? This, Artemis considered before jolting himself back to the current situation. Yes, my boorish companion? Artemis scowled. I do not understand why you insist on calling me boorish, my sappy counterpart. The alter scowled, just as Artemis had done earlier. I name you 'boorish' because you continously repress your feelings for the fair maiden. Artemis glowered at Orion. Holly is not a fair maiden! Orion glared daggers at him. Do you mean to suggest that you do not care for the sweet lady, the light of our life?! Artemis rolled his eyes. Orion, your deluded fantasies grow ever stronger. Orion positively glowed. Is that a bad thing, my friend? Artemis deliberated over this for a very, very short while. Yes. Yes it is. Orion smirked. Artemis, have you been watching kid shows again? Artemis scowled yet again. What do you mean, again? Both sappy and otherwise were quite startled when the 'office' they shared, however unwillingly, jolted. We're being shocked again, Orion complained. You think I did not notice? Artemis quipped. Suddenly, Orion leaped through the dark, blank, mind screen. YES! I have finally re-entered the really world! I can see the fair maiden again! oh wonderful, glorious day! Orion woke up to find a small gathering of people, or that is, beings. Foaly, Butler, N.1 and Holly, most importantly to him, Holly. "Sweet maiden! How wondeful to gaze apon your magnifence once more! And Butler, loyal comrade, Foaly, gracious steed, and N.1, gentle mage! How wonderful to see my companions!" All of them groaned inwardly. "Oh, hello Orion." said Holly, mentally resigning herself to his presence. Foaly inwardly clapped his hands like a child, excited at the prospect of getting more blackmail on Artemis. Butler merely said "Hey Orion. Juliet may be arriving soon, she said to tell Artemis sooo..." Orion frowned. "It seems as if everyone is unhappy with my appearance, including my beautiful maiden! This is a tragedy!" Holly moved to reassure him, right as the door to the room burst open.
