Artemis Fowl: Operation Rainbow

By Angelic Princess

Disclaimer: *sigh* I don't own Artemis Fowl, only the original characters. ~*I wish I did though*~ and please review!!! It really boosts mi spirits up when I read them, even if its only one. It onli takes a minute or 2, so review--anything ish welcome, though I wouldn't really prefer flames.

Chapter 2: Information

ARTEMIS, stunned, stared at the phone. How could she know? He hadn't met such a worthy adversary in a long time. He had actually struggled, yes, struggled to argue against her. But, there was nothing he could do about it now. All would, or rather should be answered at the meeting.

Meanwhile, what he could do, was to find as much information on the Angels as he could. The scanned picture had turned up, and it had look a LOT like the Diamond Sceptre, though nowadays, anything can be made by computers. It might even be a replica.

After a while, he looked at the small pile of information he had managed to collect. It was disappointing. The Angels were part of the criminal underworld, just like the Fowls, and just as wealthy, if not even more. They lived in an expensive, massive house, overlooking the sea, known as SeaStar Mansion.

There were four members in the Angels family, not to mention all their many relatives--that was just about all the information Artemis had managed to collect.

If they actually do have the Diamond Sceptre, mused Artemis, that will be one part of the gigantic puzzle solved. He had stumbled upon his first clue while browsing through some websites. After that, he had gathered as much information about it as he could.

According to legend, after he got the Diamond Sceptre, he would be able to find the gems. The Jeweled Rainbow was, in fact, stored in 8 precious jewels. Ruby, Topaz, Zircon, Emerald, Turquoise, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Opal.

Each of the precious stones held a power, the weakest Ruby, and ranging until Opal, the strongest. None knew what these powers were, but they were rumored to be great.

The Book only held one passage regarding all of this:

'First to lead the way,

Next to protect and showeth the key,

Last to uncover the power of thy precious array'

Artemis had suspected that the Diamond Sceptre might still be around, and posted a request on the Internet--a most vital asset. That was more than a year ago.

Now, Artemis thought, we might at last have a chance.
