Back again!
Okay, so two new reviews, which both of them I enjoyed, pretty much.
So, TheBigCat, you're requesting that I differentiate from the book, and your request shall be granted, I was planing on doing a lot of different things in the story, but, ultimately leading up to the ending of the original Artemis Fowl book, but then it goes back to...my story, or whatever the beginning could be called.
So, TheBigCat, if your reading this author's note, then be sure to tell me whether you like that idea or not.
Im not revealing too much of my story, I hope.
So anyway, on with the story!
You remember when the story mentioned that Artemis' personality had adopted Holly's own? And vice versa?
Well, this happened slowly and over time, this personality switch, was due to the time period the duo resting in wanted time to pass normally, but, there was a glitch and Artemis switched places with Holly, so, the time period introduced 12 year old Artemis' personality to Holly's own and vice versa, eventually, the two switched personalities.
Let me give you a visual picture, imagine Artemis' personality consists of a bunch of tiny little Artemises, then, the tiny Artemises are being attacked by tiny Hollys. And vice versa.
Basically, thats a short-ish rundown on how the two switched personalities.
(Ooh, if this is too confusing, sorry, this is just my brain spouting strange explanations, it does that sometimes)
Anyway, on to Artemis...
XxXxXxXxXx
Captain Artemis soared through the night sky, his shield was on, (even though his magic supply was dangerously low) and the night smelled of olives and vines, and a bit of gasoline fumes, which came from the Dragonfly wings, which ran on the said fuel.
About 20 meters ahead, Artemis spotted the rogue troll, who was pounding, hard, on the italian town's stone wall.
The troll swung his large greasy claws again and this time smashed a good 2 meter sized hole in the wall, a child's voice split the night.
"Aiuto!" it screamed.
Help, an invitation, at a stretch.
"Commander!" yelled Artemis into his helmet mike, "The troll has broken through! I'm going in!"
"No!" roared commander Root, who's face was purple with rage down in Haven city, "Ill have your stripes Fowl!"
"Terribly sorry commander, but the troll is light crazy and there happen to be children in there." said Artemis and dove down at the hole the troll created.
After entering the large hole, Artemis seemed to be in an italian restaurant, filled with stunned customers and waiters alike.
The troll was thrashing about on the floor, the light searing it's retinas and sending a very painful headache to it's brain.
A purple wine bottle smashed on the floor and the screaming started, horrible wails from almost everybody. Artemis covered one of his sensitive ears and drew his Neutrino 2000 with his free hand, he flicked the setting on the handgun up to Medium rare, the second setting, then fired a good 5 second base at the base of the troll's skull, the weak point.
The beast stumbled a bit, and fell over, but got up again and got extremely angry.
It's okay, to humans, Thought Artemis. It would seem as though a bolt of blue energy popped from thin air.
The troll's retractable claws slid out with an ominous Shiiiick, and reared it claw back to take a strike.
It cant see me
The troll roared and sliced the air, Artemis attempted to move out of the way in time, he did, but the gas can on the back of his Dragonfly wing pack was sliced clean off, sending a couple litres of gasoline splashed out.
It can see me
Gas is flammable, and what item do you suspect is in italian restaurants that can set gas on fire?
Candles, and lots of them.
Some of the gasoline landed on the tables and set the tablecloth ablaze, the rest landed on the trolls furry back, and so did Artemis. The troll reached over his shoulders and plucked Artemis from his back and pinned him to the wooden floor, Artemis' sides hurt like mad and he could smell the troll's terrible breath through his helmet filter.
This troll could use some breath freshener. Thought Artemis
Just as the troll was about to devour captain Fowl, he used his Neutrino 2000 to spark the gasoline on the troll's back. The troll writhed in pain as the flame tore through the thick fur on the his back, the troll's brain shut down and he fell backwards, out for the count.
Artemis stomped out the rest of the flame. He looked up and saw just about everyone in the restaurant looking at him.
Oooooh d'arvit.
Artemis plucked a small fist sized silver orb from his belt, he placed the orb in front of him.
"Guardate" said Artemis. Look.
The entire restaurant looked at the orb in confusion, as Artemis locked down his visor and looked away.
BOOM! FLASH!
Mass unconsciousness in seconds, nothing fatal, but there would be headaches when the humans woke up.
Blackness began to eat at the corners of Artemis' vision, his ribs hurt and the mission was in shambles, he could swear he heard Root yelling in his ear that he was going to be working traffic for the rest of his life.
Captain Fowl succumbed to the blackness.
XxXxXxXxXx
Hoho!
Big chapter again, I think.
So how was this? Not too confusing I hope.
