Artemis Fowl 4: Entrapped Illusions, Deluded Minds

A/N: I have edited this again, there were a few mistakes, and I decided to give you one of the characters in the crossover! Alex Rider, it doesn't matter if you haven't read the Alex Rider series I'm sure you'll still be able to get the plot!

SummaryAlex Rider meet Artemis Fowl. Set a few months after eternity code and Eagle Strike. Artemis is forced off to boarding school. Foaly looks into the mind of Artemis. Alex is forced to go undercover to investigate.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story except for the plot.

A/N: I thought of this plot when I was bored and thought it might not be bad. This is a sort of a crossover. See if you can guess who Artemis's Roommates are, one of them is made up for my own amusement! But the other is from a popular series. :D! They're not all they seem, far from it. Everyone has their secrets don't they? But it seems these people are hiding much more than anyone else… :D This is my first Artemis Fowl story. Actually this is the first thing I've ever submitted to fanfiction.net!

Chapter1: Genius' Gifts

A teenager sat at the edge of his window, starring into abyss, his mind drifting elsewhere. His looks suggested that he was15, yet his eyes were far older, like a war veteran sent out to war again. I've told them I didn't wanted to do any more of their jobs, but they just keep on making me do them! He sighed, I would have rather had a normal life, but fate is twisted. Damn it, looks like I'm going under cover again, never send an adult to do a teenager's job, I'm pretty sure others must have failed before me. They've completely fucked up my life. I've look death in the eye many times, so I guess what have I got to lose? But now… My life was just getting back to normal, back on track…Looks like I'm cursed with this! At least it'll just be like going to school, except in a rich kid's snob school.

     

He glanced at the folder in his hand. Red bold letter 'top secret' marked across the files, seeping through vividly. I've used this identity before… He bit his lip drawing blood at the mere memory of that mission and what it had lead to. At least I already know most of the information…He ran a hand swiftly through his dark hair, an all boys snob school, great, looks like my luck just keeps on getting better and better. At least it wasn't to some rich kid academy set in nowhere with a mad person wanting to take over the world in charge of it. He shivered, the types of things he ended up finding out, were not at all kind, human nature could be so desolated…

Let's see my mission… He laughed out loud at what he had to do! God MI6 was losing its touch! All I have to do is spy on a 14 year old kid? God they've got to be kidding. I've escaped from mad scientists, people who want to take over the world. But this is a first, stalking a FOURTEEN year old kid! At least this time I won't be risking my neck! Looks like all I have to do is find out what he's up to. What could a FOURTEEN year old do? Plan to take over the world? Not likely.

"Yes, yes, we'll send our best right away!" Said a man down the phone. Looks like our help is needed again… They want nothing but the best… Okay I'll send our 'master at Illusions'. The man pressed a button on his intercom, it crackled to life.

"get me 'master of Illusions' this minute!" he shouted down the intercom. If we completed this job we'll be richer by millions, but if we fail… I don't even want to think about the consequences…

A scatter of robes could be heard. As 'a thing' appeared before him. Clothed entirely in black, a scarf wound around the face, hiding 'its' identity. A creature of the night. As the man set its eyes upon 'it' shivers ran down his back, I hate having to deal with 'it', but it's the best we got and we can't afford to lose this…

"You called?" it said it a neural tone. Looking up at him with bored amusement, like a cat toying with its toy.

The man cleared his throat, "Yes, we have an important job for you. Are you familiar with the person 'Artemis Fowl'?"

"I've heard about him… a child prodigy that's what they call him, but isn't that a bit too extreme? He is only doing meaningless petty crimes; he is no concern of ours. I have higher goals and more worthy objects to refer my attention too."

"But someone has hired us for a job to do with him." The man threw a stack of files at the cloaked figure. "This is all we have, and it contains your mission details are contained in there as well. You be paid far higher than usual. Do you want it or not?" The man demanded, Damn it! If 'It' doesn't take it we got no-one else capable! How will it look if we turned this down, no-one would hire anybody from here again!

"I'll take it then, I'll expect half the payment to be in my account by tomorrow and the other half to be transferred immediately when the job is complete."

"Fine, fine that'll all be taken care of."

"Since this matter is settled I'll be leaving then." It turned on its heel leaving through the gigantic doors set behind it. Its cloak bellowing behind it, sweeping across the floor. The man finally let out a sigh, that thing can't be human! It moves without a sound, I didn't even hear it come in!

Artemis Fowl's Diary

Entry number 2

Encoded

Mother insists that I continue my studies at St Bartleby's school, although their equipment is far more restricting than my resources at fowl manor it would be easier to operate my 'schemes'. Father has been my increasing worry, he now spends more and more time inspecting at what I am doing or have done. Some thing seems amiss in all this, how come my father has changed so much since being saved?

Never mind that isn't the important matter at hand; I still haven't found the culprit whom have placed the lens in my eyes. It, I must say is a work of genius, if I hadn't known better I would be sure I was the one who had made this. But why would I what contact lens brushed with chemically formed liquid? I have investigated the substance in my laboratory; it seems to be more like a clear liquid substance brushed on, most like a mirror. It allowed the occupant to look out fine, but the seer to whom looks at the occupant to see a mirror reflection of what it is to be their eyes. What would have such person needed for this? I would have thought it to be me who had made this, but recently I felt as though someone has been through my memories, my recounts of the past couple years seem faded. Something I normally would clearly recall was not at my disposal.

Another factor of my problems, I have found a liking to draw the fantasy instead of the realistic. Is my unconscious self telling me something? The more I think about all this, it seems like I have forgotten something vastly important…

But the most pressing matter is still St Bartleby's; I have been place in their last year, year 11 to be exact. My father and mother have finally begun to acknowledge my 'talents'. The work will be immensely under what I am capable of, but my mother what me to 'socialise' more. Like anyone would be able to match my intellect in that school. I will focus my attention to more fetching matters. Aurum potestas est, as my father used to quote. I will not fail this family or the name, my father may have changed, but I have not, it rests on me to regain the Fowl fortune and nature of which we were born to strive in.

A/N: Hey tell me if you like this idea then I'll be continuing it, since I typed this in like an hour, but it was planned. I already planned what the second chapter is going to be, but I also have to write my other story 'Elemental Powers'

I know this chapter is quite short but the next one will be longer I promise! J

If you like my story go read another one by me on fictionpress.com, check out the link on my user profile. That story has a person called Kai who is really alike Artemis, except he's a hacker and smirks a lot, but it's the same with the stream loads of witty comments! :D

I think the story (Elemental Powers) which I wrote on fictionpress with my friend Livingdreams is actually x5 better than this one right now… the 2nd chapter for my other story (Elemental Powers) is coming up to 20pgs so it might be a while for me to post on this. But I type fast so it should be okay.

Do you want me to post more but with shorter chapters or should I wait until I have done a long chapter then post it?
