Chapter Seven

PREVIOUSILY-Artemis and Holly have switched bodies over Foaly's experiment and now end up playing the roles of eachother. Juliet has figured out the big secret about the big switch, and now Holly has been kidnapped by Opal Koboi who previousily was in contact with the B'wa Kell, and now this time she's out for revenge. What she doesn't know is that who she caught wasn't Artemis but Holly, and now Artemis and Foaly must use Brains and Strength to free their friend from the Koboi Labs, but there might be some meaning to Aki and Yata that they never knew, not to mention who's life is really at stake.
All of the LEP's officers were panicking like there was going to be no tomorrow. Only the emergency lights were on in the whole building.

Some just then clung onto her. A green sprite, that Holly once told Artemis about, but the name of Chix Verbil.

"Holly, I'm scared, take me away from here and we can forget all of this," he said.

Artemis threw Chix off, knowing what Holly would say.

"Would you act like a man Verbil and get a grip! God, we've got a mission to accomplish and you're not helping!" said Artemis.

Chix held onto his leg.

"But sweetheart, I need you right now," he whined.

Artemis shuddered, Holly should've already said that she was lesbian to get away from this freak.

"Sorry Verbil, it's a mission, anyway I like somebody else already," said Artemis walking off.

He catched up with Foaly and Root who went into the Weaponry Booth.

Foaly made a lecture on what would work without the system on and what would not.

"Now boys, off to New York City," said Foaly.
Holly groaned waking up, to find a blonde haired woman staring down her, a smile playing on her face.

Holly gasped sitting up.

"I thought I took you out already!" she screamed.

"Oh you did Fowl, for a little while, for a little while, not enough to exactly make me stay in prison forever," said Opal smiling sweetly.

"You take that sweet smile off your face right now or I'll bust your teeth out!" hissed Holly.

"Ooh, somebody woke up grouchy, you will work for me now, or Holly dies...I have resources to make sure of it," warned Opal.

"Koboi you really got some nerve to kidnap me!" said Holly.

"Oh I know Artemis Fowl, I was planning to kidnap your little girlfriend, but I plan on her to save you. Think of the possiblities of what I have with you," said Opal.

Holly growled.

"Holly isn't my girlfriend," she muttered.

"Tsk, you haven't matured to exactly know that yet Fowl, and of course you're a boy you'd never know about girls and their crushes. But enough with my ramblings, get woken up you have a long day ahead of you," said Opal walking off.

Holly noticed that she was bound in chains so she couldn't exactly bust Opal Koboi's lights out, all Holly could do was mutter,"Yeah I heard you Miss I'm-A-Barbie-Wannabe."
They were in the ship heading for New York, Artemis pondering, that is what he did best.

"Hey you okay over there Fowl?" asked Foaly.

"Yes, I'm okay, I'm just thinking, ignore me," replied Artemis.

"I can't, what are you thinking about?" asked Foaly, tugging on a peice of Artemis...no Holly's alburn hair.

"Her, I hope Opal hasn't done anything to her yet," said Artemis.

"Hm, knowing Opal Koboi she won't. She's an egotistical female dog with a twisted sense of humor but I don't think she has the nerve to kill someone with her bare hands," said Foaly.

"What if she makes someone do it for her?" asked Artemis.

"Her cousins Aki and Yata won't do such a thing. They're really nice people who like to help their family out. They're being controlled by force," replied Foaly.

"Yata and Aki are cousins of Koboi?" asked Root.

"Yeah, it's how I met Opal. I was friends with Yata, we were planning to work somethings out together become working buddies for the LEP, and Aki, the dear girl would've been really good friends with Holly because they both had the same dream to become a female Recon Officer, and be the best. Sadly Opal held Yata and Aki back from fulling their dreams," replied Foaly sadly.

"And why does Opal hate you so much?" questioned Root, he obviousily wanted to get into Foaly's personal life.

"At first her and I were friends until I won so many awards...she was second best compared to me. Opal was afraid to get her hands dirty was the problem, that's why she was second best. I don't understand why she hated me afterward. I guess it was because of jealousy. She sort of disowned Aki and Yata for a couple years until she needed them again, when they said they'd not being joining her evil crime league she forced them," said Foaly.

Artemis pondered even more. Jealousy? He had never actually discovered it actually. Greed yes? Rivalry...yes Holly was his eternal rival. Holly was pretty, smart, funny, tough, ect.ect. He was worried.

"Holly pleased be okay," Artemis whispered.
