Chapter Four: Welcome to Rivendell and Some Action to Keep You Interested

"Dad, have you heard from Artemis?" asked Miley when she walked down to breakfast the next morning. Robbie Ray shook his head.

"No, he's still unconscious. Butler says they're going to take him to get looked at."

"So he and his friends won't be able to make it to tonight's concert?"

"'fraid not kiddo." He then looked at her suspiciously. "Why? Are you starting to like him?" Miley shook her head.

"Definitely not like, like but he isn't as bad as I thought he was at first."

"You only knew him for an hour," reminded Robbie Ray.

"Yeah, but he had these vibes around him that told me that he means good, even though he may seem evil beyond anyone's imagination." Robbie Ray looked at her for a moment.

"You know Miley, I sense your fake vibes, so will act as if you haven't completely lost your head and keep in touch with how he's going."

OOO

"Artemis didn't wake up this morning," said Butler to Foaly over Artemis's computer. Foaly pursed his lips.

"That's not good," he said.

"No, it's not good at all," replied Butler. "Can you tell Holly for me? She was worried about him last night when she had to leave." Foaly nodded, typing on his virtual keyboard.

"Yep," he said, looking back up at his webcam. "Anything else?"

"Well, if Artemis doesn't wake soon, we may need to take him to get looked at; his family thinks he's just asleep. Do you have anywhere in Haven that we can get him checked up?" Foaly chewed his knuckle.

"Well…there is one place…"

OoO

Artemis was floating. Around him were tall office buildings, so tall that they rose above the clouds. He tried to catch onto one, but his hand went straight through it, he tried again in vain. He continued to float higher and higher, until all he could see were clouds. At first he travelled through fluffy cumulus and thin stratus clouds. But as he continued to climb, the sky got darker and darker. He soon realised that the cloud he was wafting through was a cumulonimbus, he tried to float sideways, but it was as if there were invisible walls inclosing him.

As he floated, he saw visions of nightmare happenings. At first they were images of the past; Holly getting stabbed in the crater on Hybras. Falling into the pit at the Extinctionist's compound, but soon they changed to ones he was not familiar with. Bright blue flashes of light from car parks and trains going up in smoke. He struggled against the visions, screaming for someone- anyone to stop this nightmare. Then the last image was of a girl, her hair, blonde and slightly waving, resting gently on her shoulders but there was a slight wisp of brown hidden beneath the blonde. There was a gun trained to her temple.

"MILEY!" he yelled, sitting up in shock. He looked around him; medical warlocks were standing above him, trying to get him to lie down again. He did a double take, medical warlocks. He was underground.

"Welcome to Rivendell," said an elfin warlock. "I am Legolas." Artemis, although having a blinding headache and feeling that he could very well faint again, was still able to comment, sounding somewhat intelligent.

"Rivendell, a myth perhaps that escaped my research that JR Tolkien used later in Lord of the Rings?" The elf shook his head.

"No, we loved Lord of the Rings so much that we named the hospital after the elfin town the heroes took sanctuary in. Quite fitting don't you think?"

"And your name? Legolas?"

"I changed my name. I am a huge fan, you see." Artemis cut straight to the chase, sitting back up.

"How long have I been out?"

"Nearly 22 hours and a half," replied Legolas, consulting a handheld device.

"I need to go, now," Artemis said. Legolas pushed him down.

"Now, Master Fowl, you have been out for almost twenty four hours. You need your rest so you can recover fully." Artemis sat back up again.

"I'm sorry, but this is a matter of life or death," he said, getting off the bed-like platform he was lying on. He pushed his way through the warlocks and out of the door.

Meanwhile, Holly was heading for Artemis's hospital room. She had just been told that he had woken and she needed to apologise. Just as she was entering the room, she was nearly knocked over by the boy himself, running madly down the corridor. It took her a while to comprehend what was happening. But as soon as she did, she sprinted down the corridor after him.

"ARTEMIS!" she yelled. "Come back here!" But he either didn't hear or didn't care as he just kept running. Holly stopped at the hospital entrance and watched him continue. She didn't know where he had learnt to run like that, but he was a lot faster than she was and she had been training longer than he had lived. Holly continued to run after him, not once did he stop. Holly was confused, not even yesterday he had tired climbing the stairs to his bedroom.

Finally when Artemis arrived at Police Plaza, he managed to dodge round all the fairies in the area, he even managed to get in a surface-bound shuttle. Holly came to the docking station just as the shuttle shot off into the chute. She watched it go, and slapped her forehead. This was just perfect, Artemis on a shuttle while she was standing at the docking station waiting for the next one. She had no idea where he was going or what he was doing, so she hoped that he would hesitate once he had reached the surface so she could catch up to him.

What Holly was worried about most was that Artemis had been unconscious for nearly 24 hours and he had bumped his head so he may have been concussed and hadn't woken up properly. Or worst of all, he could have lost IQ points.

OOO

"OK," said Robbie Ray. "Into the limo." Miley, Lilly, Oliver and Jackson followed him to the now abandoned car park. The four 'minors' climbed into the back, while Robbie Ray climbed into the passenger seat next to the chauffer. Oliver leaned through the partition between the driver's seat and the passengers.

"Hey, Patty, feel like sharing those nachos?" he asked. The chauffer, Patrick Stone edged away from the teen.

"No," he said. "This is my dinner." Oliver tried again.

"What if Hannah Montana signed your limo in spray paint?" Patrick raised a shaggy eyebrow.

"No thanks," he said. Oliver leaned forward, trying to steal a chip. Just as his fingers were about to touch one, Patrick and the nachos were shoved sideways into Robbie Ray. Oliver was about to protest when he was given orders by the new driver.

"Master Oken, change us to drive now!" yelled a dark haired teenager Oliver identified as Artemis. Oliver stuttered.

"But…wait…what? Huh?" Artemis rolled his eyes.

"Grab hold of the nice shiny stick in front of you and move it sideways and down until it's on the 'D'." Oliver did as he was told. As soon as he did, the limo shot forwards over the grass and onto the road.

"Artemis, what are you doing?" yelled a squished Robbie Ray. Artemis gritted his teeth, changing gears.

"Driving, Mr Stewart," he replied through clenched teeth. He then made a very fast U-turn and sped towards the train tracks just as a blinding blue flash erupted from the car park, pursuing the limo at almost 100 km/h.

Artemis pushed his foot harder on the accelerator attempting to get the limo up to at least 120, but as the limo was not made for car chases or 'bio bomb-car chases', the engine took it's time to even get up to 60. Artemis frowned in annoyance as the speedometer ticked over to 65.

The bio bomb was getting closer and closer.

Just as Artemis was about to get everybody to jump out of the vehicle, they went down a hill setting the speed to 95. Now all they needed was another boost to outrun the bomb. The downhill chase continued, the deadly blue light reaching the back of the limo and seeping through an open window at the back.

"Everybody move forward!" Artemis yelled.

They did as they were told, grabbing on to the partition, the light moving forward.

And finally, just as the light was about to reach Miley and Lilly who were stationed at the back, the light winked out. Artemis checked the speedometer, they had reached 120, just enough to outrun the bio bomb.

Everyone sighed in relief, they were completely safe. Artemis looked back to make sure everyone was OK.

"ARTEMIS!" yelled Oliver, pointing out the front windscreen. Artemis looked.

They were about to go over train tracks. Which, by itself wasn't dangerous but there was another bomb lying in their path which they were gaining on at 120 km/h. But not only that, a cargo train was coming from their right.

Artemis looked around the surrounding area, he then noticed a ramp. What a ramp was doing there, nobody knew, but a plan had already formulated in Artemis's mind, a plan that was insane but would hopefully not kill them.

Artemis turned the steering wheel slightly so that the ramp was directly in front of him. It was probably not going to work, but now that the limo was at 140 km/h, Artemis could only hope. The limo raced up the ramp and over the tracks, missing the train by millimetres. The limo landed heavily on the other side of the tracks, giving all occupants major ground shock.

Artemis swung the limo round to a halt, breathing heavily. They were safe. Then the train exploded. It wasn't as bad as it sounds, the train hit the bomb and it blew up, the driver somehow managing to roll out seconds before impact. The train's debris showered over the tracks, luckily there was no one in it, or they would have been blown to smithereens.

Artemis sighed; it was a miracle that nobody had died and the chauffer was only unconscious. Artemis then turned to Robbie Ray, remembering what he had come there for.

"Mr Stewart, Miley can't be Hannah anymore." Robbie Ray turned to look at him incredulously.

"Sweet nibblets!" he exclaimed. "What is going on here?"

"Just go back to Malibu, cancel the concerts otherwise there will be more than bombs to worry about." He looked him in the eye. "Someone is trying to kill Hannah Montana." Artemis then fell backwards on the seat, unconscious.

When Artemis awoke, he was back in Rivendell Hospital, Legolas standing about a metre away, looking down at him worriedly.

"You're not gong to run off again, are you?" he asked.

"Don't worry," replied Artemis. "I've had enough action for a life time." He looked down to see if he had any injuries. That was when he noticed what he was wearing. It was a shiny silver jumpsuit and black boots, a black belt tied around his waist.

"Please tell me I wasn't wearing this when I ran off," he asked.

"I'm afraid I would be lying," replied Legolas with a twinkle in his eye. "Now you lie down and get some rest. It's not every day you manage to out run a bio bomb and jump over a ramp, avoiding another bomb and a train by seconds while concussed." Artemis did as he was told, lying back on the surprisingly comfortable platform.

"Legolas?" he asked, just as the elf was about to leave.

"Yes?" inquired the warlock. Artemis sat up slightly.

"Did anyone by any chance film it and now it's all over the Lower Elements?"

"Yes, Captain Short was present for the whole thing, she didn't have a camera, but she was wearing her helmet. They're planning to make it into a movie. You are quite the hero in the Lower Elements." Artemis sat up fully.

"Just how long have I been out?"

"About three weeks."
