"Artemis Fowl: The Deadly Game"
By: Aznangel 4u
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the book, I do own Artemis--*CLONK* ok, nvm.... I own nothing at all.... ;_; Ah, a very tearful moment.
Authors Note: Yes, This may be annoying, but yes, I want you to reveiw. I guess there isn't many Artemis Fowl Fanfic readers out there, or its something else. Either you people or too shy or something. So, PLEASE reveiw, its getting really discouraging, my old fanfics got better reveiws, I got twice as much in my worst fanfics in my other account.... Geez, I almost have 200 reveiws in another. If you want me to continue, Do something about. Ok? Letting you know, you people who love to read but are too lazy to respond. (No offense, Its that time of the month for me ok?)

Chapter 2: Game; Activated
Foaly shut his eyes in despair. "The convicts..... are free." "If they
survived." Holly corrected, although her face complexion paled a little. "And they aren't
happy campers." Root muttered as he put out his cigarette. He heard a quite moan and
strange laughter coming from not too far away. Root muttered under his breathe. "The
central computer is out of order, how are we suppose to know if that person is a criminal
or not?" Foaly nodded. "There are two ways." Root raised an eyebrow. "What
pony-breathe?" "Call out "Are thee friend or Foe", or also known as old fashioned way.....
or....." Roots face became a strange sort of red. Foaly enjoyed this, even though the
situation wasn't something to laugh at. "Or......" Foaly continued as he brought up his
hand. "We can use my mini back up CPU. It doesn't do the big jobs like this broken girl
does... but it can do." Foaly whipped up a small gadget. "I just hope it isn't crushed....."
Foaly clicked the small keys on the hand held computer. "Well, good news is, this
computer works, but the bad news is.... there are two goblin criminal's right behind this
crumbling wall." Holly looked up in horror as she heard the jabbering of goblins behind the
wall, and the sound of frantic nails clawing at the wall, and sounds of electricity and fire
tearing down the wall, piece by piece.
Artemis Fowl sat down hard. His dark navy eyes were filled with shock,
but was suddenly replaced by a smug look. "Ah, very clever Mrs. Rabbit." Artemis stood
up. "Xioa Rabbit, a former LEP executive, was seen as dead 5 years ago. The time when I
first assaulted the elves." Butler nodded. "But I doubt she's dead. A pretty clever ruse if
you ask me." Artemis grinned. "At least, we are one step ahead of this enemy." Butler was
suddenly concerned. "But what if its some sort of trick? Some sort of bait to lure you
away?" Artemis got up, "I am well aware of that." Artemis smirked. "I am one step ahead
of her, though I still can't see why she may try to lure me away." He tapped the lap top.
"Butler, I have one request to make of you." Butler contained his sigh. "Yes?" "I want you
to hack into my file and change one little thing....." Butler interrupted. "But what about
the challenge? Do you accept this? This woman is a sprite." Artemis's eyes turned a icy
shade of blue. "Ah. Everyone who knows me, even a little, knows that I, Artemis Fowl,
never backs down from a challenge." He turned away. "But first.... the LEP... I have a
request to make."
Holly was petrified as she heard many voices hissing behind the wall, sounding
reptilian. She suddenly regained her senses. "As soon as the wall crumbles open, open fire
with anything you have." Holly whispered. She grabbed her Neutron 2000. A claw
appeared, Then, an ugly face....... PING PING PING ! The face disappeared as the hole
around its head deteriorated and crumbled, forming a barrier between the goblins and the
trapped LEP's. "What about the other LEPs?" Foaly asked. "I can't sense any of them with
this computer." Holly gritted her teeth. "Before that horsy, maybe we should find a way
out before the roof above us collapses on us?" She was answered by the echoes of rocks
sliding away from their places. Foaly agreed. 'All right Commander Root. Suggest
something." "Holly, you still have your helmet right?" She responded with a strained nod.
"Duh, light? Headlight? Where else?" Root nodded, his face turning red again as he
controlled his anger. "See if the roof is hollow and thin." Holly scanned the roof with her
x-ray. "Thin, and slightly off balance, its as if this place imploded." Root suddenly got up.
"All right, move out and cover yourselves." Before they could react, he took out a capsule
which contained highly pressurized water within it, and flung it at the roof. The roof
collapsed. "Quickly!" Root commanded. "Through the water where no debris can fall on
you!" Holly cursed, Foaly skittered, but managed a majestic leap out of the deteriorating
interior. 'I'm too short for this.....' Holly thought. "Captain Short!" Holly made up her
mind, she jumped through the water, her hand reaching out blindly for hold. Two hands
clasped them gently. "All right Captain Short, it seems as if we made it." Holly nearly cried
as she saw the break of dawn breaking from the hills.
Artemis frowned. "LEP is out of function?" He clicked the button again, then a
laughing rabbit who turned into a wolf appeared dancing on the screen. "Daed!" it
shrieked and laughed before it disappeared. Artemis blinked, and his mind quickly and
easily solved what the wolf was saying, at least what he thought the wolf/rabbit said.
"Dead."
Foaly brought the last useful thing they found in their weapon storage room. Foaly
shook its head. "Its strange..." Using his computer he scanned the small area. "Only the
storage room held up." A morose sigh escaped the centaur lips, sounding sort of like a half
whinny. Root ground out his cigar with the heel of his boots and cursed just before he
said, "Well, actually its not a surprise, I'm guessing this explosion was caused by some sort
of bomb. Because the storage room was built with bomb proof metal, and only that
could've survived the explosion." Letting out a grunt Root drew his knees to his chest and
sighed. "Now where to, there seems as if absolutely no one survived except for us, and
luckily, Trouble is out on a vacation in Disneyland, Paris." Holly pointed at something
which fluttered about her head and landed at her feet. "Look." Holly picked it up, her
small quick hands catching it in midair. Breathing hard, Holly read the small piece of
paper, her voice trembling as she read it out loud.
Commander Root, Holly Shorts, and Foaly,
Welcome to the deadly game. If you can make it in time to Fowl's place, you may
be able to catch a ride. If you don't, you leave me no choice.
~The Wolf Rabbit
Root seemed to be rooted to his spot. "Wolf Rabbit? Now why does this seem
familiar?" Holly's face became an angry color of purple. "Artemis Fowl..." She growled.
"Don't you dare make me shoot at you instead of that coin I gave you."
Artemis winced, the luggage he carried was heavy. He knew this game inside out
now. He researched more about this Xioa Rabbit, and read, from reading between lines
and her habits, that she tended to toy with people, by using the rules of a famous elf game
called, "Periculum Cerebrum Ludere." Which, if you translated it, would be called,
"Dangerous Brain Play" in English, in elfin is can be transcribed in two different ways. The
elfin word for this game was "Game of Death" or "No way out". A game played back
when humans and fairy's interacted, and when bored elf monarch's, such as the famous
Queen Mab, if they got bored, they would play this game to amuse themselves. It was
highly unlikely anyone got out. 'As far as I know,' Artemis concluded as Butler took his
bag and flung it into the small private jet. 'This Xioa elf will play by the rules, if not, then I
can break some restrictions too. I'm ready as ever.' He grinned, he also remembered, if he
won, he can be granted any three wishes that he wanted. And he knew what he wanted the
most. "Butler, did you pack everything, including our firearm?" "Yes Artemis." "All right
Butler, time to roll." With no other thought in mind, Artemis got into the plane and flew
off.
Holly, Root, and Foaly barely made it to the Fowls mansion when they saw that
Fowl was flying away. Holly's face contorted. "I'm going to shoot that sucker off--" Root
shook his head. "Don't. There are things we have to ask him first." "Now what do we do?
I mean, its broad daylight, and a centaur flying about in a hummingbird?" He gave a
whinnying chortle. Root cracked a grin. "Yea, your suppose to be a crossbreed between
Pegasus and a centaur...." His face became serious. "Now GIT!" Root yanked on the
hummingbird and blasted off. "Its best not being seen, then climb under the wings of the
plane and stay abroad." Root commanded. Holly shrugged. She knew that was coming,
the centaur looked funny. "Hey, I'll monitor from here." He said. "I can't fly about, the
weight capacity of this Hummingbird is enough to barely keep me off the ground." The
centaur turned on the communicator. "OK, keep in touch. I'll be handling everything from
afar. Good luck."
Artemis raised an eyebrow, he could've sworn he saw an elf with a hummingbird
strapped on his back on his plane wing, not to mention the sudden turbulence. "Butler,
switch to auto mode." He commanded, his voice cold as steel. "Come here." Butler
obeyed. "What is it master?" "We have some uninvited guest."
Holly grimaced as she clamped the auto clamper onto he bottom of the titanium
airplane. 'Not bad.' She commented to herself as she saw the plane's design. She adjusted
the communicator. "Ready to launch the lens camera up to the window up there?" She
asked Root. Root grunted. "Ready as ever." He tossed the small lens to the window, and it
stuck fast. "We only have 5 left." Holly commented. "Its OK, all right captain, this is going
to be a long day." With that, he clicked the shielding button. "Be careful, we don't have
the mind wiper anymore."
Artemis clasped his hands, a delighted grin upon his face. "Ah, Butler, your
deflected the waves from the lens I suppose?" Butler nodded. "Why would they spy on us
though?" "They may think I'm part of an illegal activity." Artemis finished. "Like last time,
mistaken identity." Artemis grinned.
Holy stared at the iris cam, the ex-ray vision was not working. Not only that, but
the fish lens camera was only receiving a blank screen. "Foaly? You there?" She
whispered. "Hail Captain Shorts, I am here, happily grazing with my horse relatives in
Artemis fields enormous backyard." Irritated at his cheerful tone, she snapped at him.
"Why aren't the camera working?!" She was answered by a loud snuffling. "I'm working
on it." A sigh came from the communicator. "Well, I think Mr. Fowl just might know you
are boarding his small vehicle. I'm not sure about this Holly, the connection waves are
being deflected." "D'Avrit." was her short answer as the plane started to land.
