Read and Review and most importantly ENJOY!!! Sorry that I'm not including a long thank you list this time (I'll do it next chapter,) I just figured that since this is Pt. 2 to the introduction the same things apply as in pt.1
Yet again, I do not own Artemis Fowl or Fear Factor
Meet The Kelps
Foaly had left the group behind to go and have a discussion with the Kelp lawyers. The cameras had been left behind in case of some action while he was gone. It was a typical group scene from all the annoying reality shows.
"Artemis, I just wanted to apologize for making you lose the game last time," Holly said nervously. Artemis was sitting across the circle smiling maliciously.
"Don't worry Holly, it's okay. You're completely forgiven." Artemis said, the smile never leaving his face.
"And I promise not to pull any pranks like that this time, besides, you totally deserved it." Holly said, still just as nervously.
"I know," Artemis still had that look on his face. Mulch and Root had been watching the entire conversation with looks of interest.
"Maybe this show will be interesting after all," Mulch said happily. Root jabbed Mulch angrily in the side with a burning stick and Mulch shut up.
"Cork it, convict. You aren't allowed an opinion."
"Come on, Commander," Holly said softly. "Remember, we are all in this for one reason. Beat Foaly at his own game. We don't have time to fight amongst our selves."
"Right," Artemis said. He no longer had the malicious smile; instead it was replaced by a very serious look. "First things first, one of us needs to get those sedatives away from the centaur."
At that moment Foaly returned and broke up the unlikely group. They each gave him an innocent smile so that nothing was suspected. Behind the centaur was a group of dwarves carrying the Kelp brothers. Both of them had been knocked out and both had a giant bruise on their right temple.
Foaly saw the terrified looks on each contestants face and smiled. "The sedatives proved to be weaker than we thought. We took necessary action." There was a unanimous swallow in the background.
"Now, let's begin our competition…" Foaly started.
"Wait!" They all interrupted. The Kelp brothers began to stir. Root stepped forward to try and talk to the centaur.
"Foaly," he said in a calm manner that was very un-Root like. "Do you realize what you are doing here? I watched three people end up hospitalized in the last show…"
"And though we all can agree that that was pretty funny…" Mulch interjected. Root prodded him with the flaming stick again.
"And though we all can agree that that was pretty funny, it is dangerous! Do you really want to risk our lives, not to mention your career, to make us do stupid stunts on a reality show?" Root said, his tone changing. He couldn't help but notice Foaly's hand inching closer and closer to the shocking button.
"Wait, wait, wait," Holly said, noticing the same thing. "Foaly, if you're going to shock anyone, have it be me. I'm the one that hit you, and blasted you, and the thing the courts have declared I can never discuss again…"
The rest of the group began snickering. Foaly's hand lingered over the "shock everyone" button.
"No!" Artemis called as he tried to pry the un-removable shock collar from his neck. "Be rational Foaly! You're supposed to be the calm, rational one out of this group." There was silence in which everyone started laughing, including Foaly.
Suddenly everyone was lying on the ground writhing.
"That'll teach you to make jokes at my expense." Foaly said smugly. "Now, let's get on to what I was saying before. My lawyers broke through the Kelp's restraining order and the games will begin this time tomorrow. I'll let you all have tonight to recover. Count your blessings, cause if you think last time was hard wait til you see what I have in store for you now."
(Read review, no flames. Did you all like it? And just as an update, my site The Fowl Files is now up for business if you'd like to join! The only character taken is Holly. It's an RPG board. Just say in your review if you checked it out and what I should change. )
