THANK YOU TO ALL REVIEWERS THAT EVER READ OR REVIWED THE FG SERIES!
I love you all! And I didn't get one single flame! Except for artimssues but she bashes everyone just for the fun of it. Oh and that person that gave me a hard time because she didn't like H/A, because 'it's just wrong.'
Okay, okay, anyway this is the LAST chapter of the series. I've waited for this moment for months! I want to thank the following people in particular though-
Radioactive Bubblegum- The day that I posted, you would have a review up in the maximum of five hours. You've always reminded me when people were impatient and have read all of my stories. You are funny and did whatever it took to make me update. You encouraged me.
Kelaal- You gave me my first review! It wasn't pretty, but it was great advice and I've used it in all of my stories. You and R.G. both helped me out in the 'bashing site; issue. I haven't seen any more bashings since.
I'd also like to shout out to lutefa and Dragonness Fighter for also being supportive of me. And most of all Aks. Aks, thanks for being so devoted!
CHAPTER 13
Artemis sighed. "I will go find Holly. I believe that we should all be leaving soon and leave Opal in her dwellings."
"You do that." Trouble replied and gripped Bakira's wrist. "We should go ahead and escape."
Bakira ignored his hand but nodded instead and turned to leave. "I agree." She said simply and Trouble let go. Artemis had already started down the corridor.
They had barley taken a few steps forward when Bakira screamed and was pulled into a room. Trouble yelled and ran into it.
Car' Khl had a knife to Bakira's throat. Trouble stepped forward and the changeling dug the knife into Bakira's throat.
Trouble stopped. "Let her go." He growled.
Car' Khl shrugged. "I could. But I'd rather just kill her and have you watch."
Trouble shook his head. "I'll do anything. Just don't kill her."
"Give me your gift." Car' Khl replied grinning.
Trouble's brow furrowed. "That's not a fair trade. I have no gift and I don't know how I would give it to you anyway if I had one."
"I know how to get it. It just can't be activated."
Bakira thought. There was one way to defeat Car' Khl. Yet it was dangerous....
"Let him kill me." She announced.
Trouble's jaw dropped. "Never!"
Bakira's eyes narrowed. "Let him kill me or I will do it myself."
Trouble hesitated. It seemed like she had a plan. "Do it yourself." He said.
Bakira smiled and activated her claws. "I give my life for yours. Farewell." She slashed the claws across her stomach and fell to the ground. The only way to activate his gift at the time was for someone to give their life for him deliberately. If his gift was activated, Car' Khl could not use it, making life much easier. Except Bakira would die. That's a downside.
Trouble's skin emitted a red glow. His cuts and bruises healed and his blue eyes flashed and next revealed golden ovals. His hair turned from blond to a rather bright orange.
Bakira lifted her head up. Hephaestus's gift. She had guessed right.
Trouble stared into a mirror and choked. But from experience, he knew what to do. Captain Kelp pointed a hand at Car' Khl and concentrated. A flaming fireball flew at him. Car' Khl screamed in pain as Trouble picked up Bakira and set her in a corner. The screaming finally ceased and the silence of death rested in the room.
Bakira coughed and a sliver of blood ran down her chin. Trouble was about to press his hands on the wound to heal it but remembered Holly's reaction with Artemis Fowl and placed his hands on her blouse instead.
"Heal." He breathed and a shower of red sparks fell over her body. Bakira fainted for the moment as the sparks ran along her fatal cuts. In a few minutes, her body was repaired but she was still weak.
Captain Kelp gently shook Bakira, making her regain consciousness. Her eyelids fluttered open and she made a disgusted face.
"It smells like fried food." She said coughing. Trouble laughed.
"Yeah. I used Car' Khl as my gift test dummy."
Bakira leaned up. "So, Hephaestus's Gift, right?"
Trouble frowned. "How did you know?"
Bakira shrugged. "Ever since I learned I was a Bast, I've been fascinated by other gifts. I knew the only one that had to be activated was Hephaestus's."
Trouble nodded. "But why did you do that?"
She didn't answer. Instead, she strained her face up to his. Trouble pushed her back down.
"Save your energy." He said. "Allow me."
Trouble bent down and placed his lips softly on hers. Bakira's hand snaked around his neck and for a few seconds, it was bliss. Until Bakira pushed on Trouble's chest, pulling away for air and coming back to reality.
"We must go." She said getting up. "The sooner the better. You are right. We need to save our energy."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Artemis Fowl taught me that move." Holly said. Opal scowled and shot ice sparks at her. Holly ducked each one and shot a flame ball at Opal. Koboi turned it into a block of ice.
Artemis walked through the huge doors. Opal and Holly both stopped fighting and stared at him.
Koboi immediately went into action. "Fowl, I have a proposition. Give me Holly and I will give you three tons of marked gold ingots."
Holly gasped. Artemis would definitely go for it. Aurum Est Postestas. Gold is power.
Instead Artemis gave her a bitter face. "No." He replied. Opal still looked pleased.
"What about, ten tons of gold?" she tempted.
Artemis looked down at his feet, and then at Holly. He shook his head. Opal fired up her hands with ice chips and Artemis grabbed Holly's gloved hand and they ran out.
"Why didn't you take that money?" Holly asked as they ran. "Aurum Est Postestas. Gold is power."
Artemis sighed. "No. Amore Est Potestas. Love is power, being the greatest power on the planet. Love is stronger then money, evil, and even good."
Holly's mind was no longer on the conversation. It was on the flaming haired boy ahead of them. He was running with a raven haired girl, who looked injured.
"Trouble, what happened?" Artemis yelled.
Trouble turned around. "Long story. We ran into a few difficulties. I have Hephaestus's gift."
Holly gasped. "We are running from Opal. We need to hide." She pointed at a door. "In there!"
The four clambered inside and Holly groaned. It was the ice rink.
Bakira looked at the ice and smiled. "If we could melt the ice and make it hot and get Opal to fall in, she would die, right?"
Holly pressed her palms against the ice and pressed red hot heat out. "I'm not strong enough!" she cried and Captain Kelp put his hands next to hers and followed suit.
There was a loud banging on the door. Artemis and Bakira pressed their backs against it. "Hurry!" Bakira called.
Trouble and Holly had made the ice thin enough to set flame to. They both shot fire out of their fingers and the pool sizzled as steam poured out and the water bubbled.
"Let her in." Said Trouble and Bakira and Artemis moved. Opal came running in and in her clumsiness, fell into the boiling pool of water that would be her death.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Are you gonna be alright?" Holly asked.
Trouble nodded. "I'll live. I just need to perform the Ritual. I barley have any magic left for a mesmer!"
They were back at the Kelp Mansion, freeing everyone from the safe room. Artemis had gone with Bakira to OPS to do gift studies.
"When did you find out you had the gift?" Holly asked.
Trouble ran a finger through his orange hair. "Um.as soon as it was activated?"
Holly chuckled. "Quite a shock huh?"
Her friend's face went grave. "Not entirely a shock."
Holly frowned. "What do you mean?"
"I've figured out your mystery." He replied. "Opal killed your parents. She killed my father as she revealed to me. That's why my mother was so afraid of her. Opal Koboi had given dear old mom a murder attempt."
Holly cupped her hand over her mouth. "WHY?"
"She's been planning this all along. We were some of the only remaining heirs of the original five that had Hephaestus's gift. It was the only thing that could conquer her power. Kill all the heirs, she rules the world with unmatched power."
Holly remained to shake her head. "Your are starting to sound like Artemis."
Trouble laughed. "Good. He thought it up. You didn't honestly think my mind was as logical to think that up, did you?"
*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~
"Ow!" Holly said as Foaly pressed the syringe into her cocoa skin. He pulled the lever and a golden red substance filled it.
"This is your power." Foaly said grandly. "It will be put in a tube made of indestructible glass. Open the tube and you may use it."
Holly nodded. "How about I test this?" she said and walked over to Artemis. She grabbed his hands. There was no reaction. Holly looked guiltily at Trouble and he shrugged.
"Go for it. I've got my own woman." He said and kissed Bakira. Holly laughed.
"What is it with him and kick butt females." Artemis scoffed. Holly arched an eyebrow.
Artemis frowned. "Well first you, then Juliet, and now--."
Holly silenced him with a kiss. Foaly stood rolling his eyes and snickering at all of this. When Holly finally pulled away, Artemis stared at her with a shocked, but cheerful grin.
Holly smiled ear to ear. "I think your taste in females is the same."
THE END
AHHH! I can't believe it! It's over! And it ended up Trouble/Bakira too. No surprise there.
Well ,maybe not....I'm thinking about doing an Adventures of The Fire Goddess fanfic but not soon because I want to give FG a rest for a month or too. But if you want to expand on this, It's fine with me. Just give me credit for Bakira and Car' Khl.
I also later noticed that if Trouble could not touch Bakira, how could he kiss her. Well..um.I'm just letting you know I know this.
THANK YOU AGAIN TO EVERYONE! GOODBYE AND GOOD NIGHT
