Chapter Six

She drummed her hot pink painted nail annoyedly on the marble desk, her blonde hair falling in a waves down her back. Her light blue eyes gleamed in malice.

Yata and Aki came in bowing.

"Something's going on here and I want to know what it is?!" screamed Opal Koboi.

Yata and Aki winced.

Yata was a silver haired teenaged boy with cat like yellow eyes, a medium toned skin, Aki was the same as her twin brother, except her hair was dyed with bright blood red streaks and she often wore black gothic like clothing usually was anti-social to the world, unlike her brother who usually acted like a normal teenage boy who seemed gentle and kind.

"I have no idea madam, we just know that Artemis Fowl and the LEP have been keeping in contact for quite awhile," responded Aki.

Opal growled in annoyace.

"The two of you aren't giving me any NEW information, have you found thier location?" she asked.

Yata nodded.

"Yes, quite well actually, they've been meeting at the LEP operations booth for quite sometime now, BUT this time they're at the Fowl Manor," he replied.

Opal grinned evilly.

"If Artemis if the criminal mastermind I think he is, he'll go after Miss Short, bring her to me. Kidnap her, we'll see what Fowl does," she said.

Yata and Aki bowed once more and departed from the abbandoned Koboi Operations center.
Artemis sighed drying Holly's wet hair...it was his now but still....

"My goodness can't you just brush it?" asked Holly, grabbing a brush off the table.

Artemis didn't dare look down, he had a towel around Holly's body the whole time.

"Why don't you wait until I get dressed?" suggested Artemis.

"My goodness, I've seen myself plenty of times, it's not a big deal," said Holly, sitting Artemis down on his bed.

He shivered and then let out a yelp when Holly ran the brush through his wet hair.

"OW! Holly you might be able to stand pain but I can't!" said Artemis, wincing as she quickly finished.

"There, all finished, I brought some clothes so don't worry about it, and TRY not to look," said Holly, walking out of Artemis' room.
Foaly's system shut down.

"What the-" he began.

Root bursts in the operations booth a couple minutes later when Foaly tried everything in the book to get the power source back on.

"Foaly you better give me an explaination and I mean NOW!" he said.

Foaly laughed nervously.

"Commander we've gotten ourselves-" began Foaly.

One of the random computer screens flickered on, a blonde haired rival grinned her blue eyes gleaming.

"A power outage Foaly? Ah yes, of course this time you'll never get your systems back on Foaly dear, as for your beloved Captian Short, she's indanger, and you better get Artemis Fowl on the double if you want to save her in time. You've got until Mid-Night to save Holly Short, or else," said Opal Koboi grinning.

"Opal you better let Holly free or so help me I'll-" began Foaly.

"Do you what Foaly? All your systems are out, hate to say it but you're powerless. I'll be expecting you in New York City if you want to save your friend, I want Artemis alone nobody else with him except maybe you Foaly and maybe somebody else if you'd like. 3 people no more. See you in New York, chou!" exclaimed Opal cheerfully as the screen flickered off.

"Oh no," muttered Foaly. He regretted using Artemis and Holly for his experiment now, now that they switched bodies, it was Artemis playing the role as Holly, and Holly....playing the role as Artemis.

Holly was smart, but not as smart as Fowl, this was terrible.

Root turned beet red in the darkness, you could tell.

"Where is Fowl!" he screamed.

"I forgot to tell you something sir," said Foaly nervously.

"Go on civilian," said Root.

"Well remember that experiment I used Holly and Artemis for?" asked Foaly, fidgeting with a computer wire.

Root's beet red face turned pale.

"Artemis is Holly....and Holly is Artemis....it was a switch machine," said Foaly, wincing expecting a couple blows on the head. It was worse, Foaly was slammed into the operation booth wall.

"YOU! YOU SWITCHED THEIR BODIES! THIS IS JUST GREAT YOU KNOW THAT?!" roared Root.

"I-I-I know sir, but...I didn't know the consquences of what would happen," responded Foaly shaking madly.

"Get Fow-I mean Holly down here this insant," hissed Root.
Yata and Aki were sneaking against the brush of the manor. For a security system, it was acting pretty screwy.

"Ya know sister, I find that this security system is too easy to get through," said Yata.

"Don't worry Yata it's high on sugar," said Aki rolling her eyes as they snuck.

"Fowl should have the balcony window right?" asked Yata.

Yata was just then shoved against the wall.

"Heads up," said Aki, having a running head start as she easily caught the balcony's rail.

From Aki's sense, Holly wasn't there it was just Artemis.

Why did Opal want Holly anyway, Artemis was so much for valuable.
Artemis head some glass burst out the window and immidately went up stairs.

Glass was broken and Holly was gone, and two figures were in the distance but evaporated into thin air on the spot.

Someone had kidnapped Holly, or him...so they thought.

Root came in with Foaly at that moment in a ship from the LEP booths obviousily.

They only found Artemis in the room.

They only found a un-kidnapped Holly..or at the moment Artemis.

"They were supposed to kidnap you!" exclaimed Root.

"They got Holly instead,"replied Artemis.

"Do you think they knew about-" began Foaly.

"There's no way, as long as Holly lays low, the kidnappers will think it's me," responded Artemis shortly.

"The kidnapper is Opal Koboi and she's out for revenge," said Foaly.

Artemis' hazel eyes went wide.

"Well we have to do something!" he said.

"What we have to do is get back to the LEP stash up on some weapons and then go to New York to find Holly," said Foaly.

"Right," said Artemis sighing.
Yata and Aki strode down the halls of Koboi Labs, their prisoner in thier arms, they were struggling to get Artemis down the hall way.

"Dammit! Let me go you freaks!" Artemis exclaimed to them.

"Hmm, doesn't seem like a crimnal mastermind," said Aki.

"I'll shut him up," said Yata, bashing Artemis on the head automatically forcing him to be knocked out.

They bowed holding Artemis in their arms.

Opal gasped.

"I told you to get Short not Fowl!" she exclaimed in frustration.

"Holly wasn't there so we got Artemis instead," said Yata shrugging.

Opal sighed.

"Well at least you didn't come back empty handed," she admitted.

Aki and Yata smirked.

"True Miiss Koboi," they said together.

"Chain the boy up over there, we'll get some answers out of him before the LEP start surrounding us," said Opal.

This was actually quiet useful to Opal, she was grinning ear to ear. She was out for revenge, and Artemis Fowl was going to work for her, right when he woke up. Forget the chick Holly Short, she was nothing compared to these possiblities. But Opal Koboi didn't know that her possiblities had ran shot, the fact that everyone already knows that Opal Koboi had actually gotten who she had wanted all along. She had gotten Holly....not Artemis.

((A/N: And there's the plot folks. Artemis is Holly, Holly is Artemis, and Holly (who's in Artemis' body might I mention) is in the hands of the evil misstress Opal Koboi who wants revenge for all that happened with the Bwa Kell. This is turning out to be pretty interesting ne? I hope you guys like it so far. I'm out of school tomorrow so maybe I'll have like 2 or 3 chapters written up for you all. How about that? I might not update this weekend though. My b-day is this weekend, I might update Friday possibly, but Saturday and Sunday we'll be celebrating me being a year older! . I can't wait! Hehehehe, you wouldn't believe how old I am....o.o' You don't need to know. I'm younger than you think I am. ' But by the way I write, I think you've already figured that one part out. Until next Chapter, SAYONARA!!!!!))
