Chapter Title: Arrival at Shang Hai
Artemis yawned, he had fallen asleep during the ride. He was instantly alert, he knew the elves were still there. "Butler, are we there yet?" He asked, sounding a bit like the young man he was, impatient. "Yes, we are preparing for landing." Butler answered, he stifled a yawn. He had stayed up all night making sure that the elves didn't try anything funny. Artemis observed this with a frown. "Butler, I don't think the LEP are going to try anything funny, and wouldn't have any ways, you needed not to stay up so late, I can't have a tired Body guard." With hat Artemis buckled his belt. The plane was landing. 'Shang Hai, here I come.' Artemis muttered, a bit amused.
Holly gritted her teeth as the plan started to land. She pressed herself onto the planes wings, grimacing as she heard the loud fan near her head buzz. "Root what's your position?" She hissed into her mouth piece. "Very bruised." came a snappy reply. She clenched her small fists as the plane came to a bumpy stop. She heard a deep voice saying something in Chinese, she translated it, after all, she had the gift of languages as a fairy. "Welcome to Shang Hai Mr. Fowl. Your mother and father are surprised you arrived here. They never expected." She heard Artemis's voice, in perfect Chinese. "I have not come here for my mother and father, but tell them I wish them well. I'm on a business trip Mr. Cheng." The Chinese man answered politely and left. Holly heard the foot step fade away. She sighed. "Root what --" Before she finished. "Nighty night. I know you're there." Holly looked up and blacked out, the last thing she saw was Butlers face squinting, and shooting a needle into her.
Holly opened her eyes groggily. "Nice meeting you here." came a cold frosty voice. She recognized it immediately. "Mud boy!" She snapped. When her eyes focused, she saw a tall slim teen boy with a white suit. His eyes were still the dark navy blue they had been, his complexion still fair, too fair, and his hair had grown long in the front, causing bangs to go into his eye. She immediately felt a surge of appreciation, which she immediately squashed as she realized just what was going on. "You --" Artemis raised a hand. "Shhh. Quiet, Commander Root is taking a nap." he said mockingly. His tone of voice became serious, and icy. "Why were you spying on me?" She was silent her eyes trained on the small painting of a tall lady behind Artemis's tall back. Artemis sighed as she refused to negotiate. "I thought we left the past behind us and we had a treaty." Holly's anger bursted, and she let out her scathing wrath. "I thought you were a decent person, you actually cared for your father, but now I see you aren't. You destroyed the LEP HQ and not only that, but you set loose convicts and killed many LEP members. Artemis looked innocent. Holly blinked, he looked, genuinely baffled. He turned to her. "I am pleased that you awarded me with the merit that I might have done that horrible deed. But I am innocent, it is recently, maybe 9:30 at night yesterday that I found that contact with the LEP was impossible." He stretched out his hands. Holly searched in his eyes for any clue of a lie. But his eyes were cold and kept anyone from entering his soul. They said that your eyes were the window to the persons soul. But obviously, Atremis had shuttered it away, successfully too.
She cocked her head. "Then how did you get-- the note...." Artemis's eyebrows nearly jumped off his face. "Note?" Holly decided to tell him. "Look." She felt sluggish, 'Must be from the drug...' She took out the note, which was neatly folded into the front pocket of her blouse. Artemis took it, his eyes quickly read the note, and his eyes narrowed. Holly could almost she his brain ticking. "Oh. Wolf Rabbit." Artemis said out loud. "So you were invited to Periculum Cerebrum Ludere too. Artemis nodded. "Well, according to some files I've found, this Xioa Rabbit was an LEP." Holly looked miffed. "She died 5 years ago, just before you kidnapped me." Artemis shrugged. "I've traced the DNA matches back to her. This... former elf." Holly couldn't believe it. Xioa Rabbit was one of her oldest friends. A fairy from China, which was the origin of her name, she was a private, who commanded a small fleet, and supposedly died in an accident with a oncoming missile launched by some serious enemies they had been fighting not too long ago. "But--." Artemis waved a hand. "This is cleared up, so take Commander Root, and leave. Now we have nothing to be worried about." Holly sighed. "But--" Then Artemis got a crafty look. "Or." He replied. "Since you were invited to the game. You can help me get the three wishes." Holly shook her head. "She's not a bad elf, listen mud boy, she's dead. We found her corpse--." Artemis waved them away. "All right, if we can't negotiate then I guess we can't do anything about it." his voice was cold. Holly cleared her throat. "It doesn't mean I can't think about it." Artemis turned her back on him, he looked at his clean slender fingernails and blew on them. "All right, a day and no more. Butler, escort them out please, you can find your belongings outside the door." With a nod, Artemis left the room. 'More cramming to do.' He thought swiftly. 'This Xioa Rabbit must be pretty clever and deceitful to be able to trick her death, because I know she's alive.' He had to go over his "notes" again. About the game.
Another email, but one which told him to bring along the little elves. It was almost time for him to go to the small "garden" called "Shiang Sou" out back. He was to meet this mysterious elf there. He sighed. It was 30 minutes till he had to negotiate with the two remaining LEP's. He stared at the clock, and then proceeded to translate a book filled with so seemed "gibberish". He already knew the dangers of this game. He was ready for it.
Holly paced about in a small hidden area, she managed to drag Root behind the large obstruction. Roots face was red. "What's your position?" Foaly had asked him, his voice sounding far away. "Very, VERY annoyed and baffled." He had replied angrily. Well, Roots face was still red, but they had a decision to make, and soon, they had to come to a conclusion, for their time was running short. "I think we should help." Holly concluded, her eyes were straight ahead. "And Mud boy says that Xioa Rabbit is still alive." Commander Root choked on his last cigarette. His eyes nearly popped out of his head. "WHA--?!" Flashes of emotion passed through his face, anger, sadness, happiness, and a glumness that Holly couldn't perceive very well. Root's had a bland face. "Private Rabbit?" He managed somehow to dislodge the cigarette from his throat. Holly just nodded. "She was in the LEP before I was wasn't she? And not to mention this, but she is 1,000 years older than me." Root was silent. "D'Avrit." He said. "Of course she would attack the LEP and pretend her death." A sad look came over his face. Holly looked curious. "What is it Commander Root?" He shook his head. "Its for another day, I'll tell you, when its necessary." Holly had a faraway look in her eyes. He somehow reminded her of her father. And, it was in a gentle loving way. A tear fell from her eyes, which she quickly wiped away. "So what's our decision?" "Help him." Root said dully, lacking the usual vigor. (Meaning his snappiness and anger etc.....)
Artemis got up, tucking something cold and hard inside his suits inner pocket. 'Times up.' He got up and walked toward the door. "Butler, time to go to Shiang Sou." Just as he opened the door, two elves appeared in front of him. It was Captain Short (Thank you Chris) and Commander Root, they had just deactivated their shields. "What's the plan." Artemis nodded. "Well." He answered, "Lets just say.... I'll give you some hidden information on Xioa Rabbit. From what I see she is a criminal. She has wiped out most of the LEP members, killed a pixie, and lets say she had done some illegal activities." Artemis looked from Root's twitching face to Holly's shocked ones. "Lets just say, in exchange for me helping you capture and fund a little bit of you rebuilding the LEP HQ again, you must help me achieve the three wishes." A look softened Artemis's face as he thought of something in the far distance. Holly wondered what the "ice" mud boy was thinking about. But, they had something to do, and say. "Deal." Root said, a little before the words escaped Holly's mouth as well. Artemis nodded. "Butler." He called. "Lead these guests into the limo." Artemis put out a hand, "Negotiate?" Holly nodded and grasped his hand. "Agreed." They looked at each other for a long time. An elf shaking hands with a mud man. A sight that most people rarely see.
They arrived, Holly was a bit nervous. Xioa Rabbit, her long lost friend, not to mention DEAD friend, a criminal..... a lier...... 'Time to play a bit of Periculum Cerebrum Ludere then....' Holly thought anxiously. 'Its a dangerous game, but I never played it seriously till now... no.... never... I hope Xioa is not serious....' They sat on the marble benches, in the midst of the beautiful flowers about them, waiting. They heard a rustle. Butler took out his shot gun, which he brought along for the occasion, and aimed it at the sound. "Careful!" came a husky yet high voice. "Show yourself!" Butler barked. A small girl, around the age of 15 walked out, her dark hair tied about in a ponytail. She was dressed in black, and had a small, nut deadly looking pistol at her side. Her hands were up in surrender, her brown eyes wide. "I-i-i...." "Are you Xioa?" Butler questioned. "Idiot Mud man." Holly retorted. "Does she look like an elf to you?" Butler looked down, shamefaced. Artemis looked merely amused. "Another player for Periculum Cerebrum Ludere ?" The girl nodded, relaxing as she put her hands down, her face was shadowed. "Viki." She called to someone in the dark. "Its safe, they're players in this game like us." A girl about the same height came from behind a thicket of roses. "Damn these thorns hurt." The brown haired girl sighed, her blue eyes rolling to heaven. "Oh god, why did I come? Remind me yet again Mona." The so called "Mona" answered. "A anonymous person challenged us, we never back down. Remember now?" "Oh, remind me never to hide in the rose bush ever again." Viki answered. "I never told you to." Mona retorted. Viki rolled her eyes. "Whatever." Artemis looked amused. "I presume you two are the famous FBI partners? The most intelligent out of most, and both age 15?" They stopped quarreling and stared at him. Viki was the first to talk. "He...he looks familiar." Mona grabbed her pistol. "STAY WHERE YOU ARE CONVICT!" She pointed her gun at Artemis. "You criminal, Artemis Fowl." She mumbled. She couldn't really see his facial features, it was so damn dark. Artemis chuckled. "I wouldn't pull that trigger if I were you." Mona heard a click. Butler had a gun to her throat.
Mona dropped her gun. "Fine then." Mona replied. "Be that way." Scowling like a beaten dog she backed away from the strange group. "Hey look, its a midget." Mona cried out, pointing at Holly, whose face was turning a purplish red. Viki looked skyward. "My partners a air head." Artemis looked amused with the two girls. "I am the infamous, or famous, Artemis Fowl. Nice to meet you." He shook hands with a scowling Mona, and a exasperated Viki. "Lets play the game fair and square now." Artemis said, as if talking to little children. He was soon interrupted by a loud voice.
"Welcome guests.... players for my little game.... Periculum Cerebrum Ludere ." The voice crooned. "The rules goes as follows, you will all go through a maze, you will answer questions to open and unlock doors, trick ones to tell the truth, and you must battle with strategy if you happen to come across the "Five dangerous Pawns". It will be like trying to survive in the wild. But I modified it. Wrong door, you are gone forever..... Right door, you are alive, get it? You have a maze to go through, with clues....... make it if you can. If you do, I'll be waiting...." The voice was gone. Holly recognized the nasal voice. "Xioa!" She cried out. Roots face had turned a pale color. Her voice was drowned out by a sudden rumbling about them, the ground collapsed below them...... and they pummeled to who knows where...... where the game will start......
To be continued........
R and R please! Tell me if you like it, I was so eager to post the next chapter up (this one) that it isn't as good as I wanted it to be, I promise, the next one will be much better, more plot, and more........ stuff. Action. Yup! R and R again~!!!!!!!!!
