Loading ...Chapter Six - Revenge II (for lack of a better name)
Opal Koboi?!?! What the heck was she doing here? And why was her hair blonde and curly? Holly Short gasped involuntarily. D’Arvit!
Artemis was, for probably the fifth time in his life, at a loss for words. He felt himself thinking, What is wrong with this picture? Number one, Opal Koboi is supposed to be in jail, number two, Minerva is betraying the People, number three, I am thinking these really strange thoughts when I am supposed to be a child prodigy! He quickly shook away all those thoughts, and focussed on Minerva.
“Minerva,” Artemis said calmly, despite his rattling nerves. “Why are you doing this? You and I . . . we are summoned to help the People, not turn against them!”
Minerva snorted (which was very unlike her). “Well, I am not turning against the People. I’m helping Opal Koboi. She is a fairy, isn’t she? She is much nicer to me, and once we have the Lower Elements in Opal’s control, and the surface in my control, we will rule the world together, aboveground and below. Then we will be utterly unstoppable. Wouldn’t you agree, Arty?”
Artemis shook his head. “Minerva, you can’t do this to us. Not to the People. Not to the humans on the surface. Not to me. Minerva, please, rethink about this. The odds that the LEP will triumph over the two of you and Opal serving the rest of her life in prison is about eighty-six percent. That is well over fifty-fifty. You wouldn’t like to play with those odds, would you?”
Minerva smiled again, only this time it was mockingly sweet and sincere. “I would, Artemis Fowl. So what are you going to do now? You can’t stop me from joining Opal and the goblins, you know. No matter how intelligent you are.” She held out a hand to Opal, who was behind her. Opal smiled, and tossed a Neutrino into her hand. Minerva grasped it and, finger on the trigger, aimed it a few inches away from Artemis’s shoulder. She flicked the switch up to the maximum setting.
“Good girl,” Opal said, patting her shoulder. “Show them what you can do.”
Minerva nodded, and said, “Artemis, do not try to protest my unity with the goblins and Opal, or I will be forced to shoot you, and I really do not want to hurt someone today.”
Opal threw back her head and laughed like a hyena. “See, Fowl? Two against one. And you lose.”
Captain Short stepped up, next to Artemis. “No. I thought you knew how to count, Koboi. Some genius you are. It’s two against two. And Artemis is not the one losing ground right now. Opal, the longer you continue your plot, the more severe punishment will be from the LEP once you are caught. Mark my words.” She cocked her gun.
That made Opal laugh even harder. “Ha ha! Don’t joke around with me, Captain Holly Short. You are not a genius, so you can just step right back down. Even better, you could just go home and forget about the whole thing. The LEP doesn’t need you, Holly. I thought that you’d realized that by now. They have much better officers who actually have a chance of defeating me and throwing me into a jail cell. And you are not one of them.”
Holly kept her gun steady, although she was shaking with fury inside. “You don’t even deserve to be in jail, Koboi. You deserve to be somewhere even worse, like the Eleven Wonders of the World Exhibit, where you tossed me and Artemis. The trolls will happily tear you apart, bit by bit.”
Koboi shook her finger at Holly. “Uh, no. Sorry, Captain, but you’re the one that’s going down.” She snapped her fingers, and Minerva immediately fired the Neutrino at Holly. It clipped her in the shoulder, but hard. Blood started streaming down her arm.
“D’Arvit!” Holly muttered under her breath. “Stupid pixie.” She grasped her shoulder. Now her firing arm was out. Se couldn’t fire with her left hand. (By the way, she had just run out of magic).
Meanwhile, Artemis was studying the two genii in front of him up and down. He inhaled sharply when he saw Minerva’s eyes. The pupils were ragged, and he could see the real Minerva deep down, trying to push her way out. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Holly trying to raise her gun, and he yelled, “Stop! Minerva has been mesmerized!”
Everyone’s eyes instantly landed on the blonde-haired girl. Indeed she was mesmerized. Opal’s face turned a dark crimson. “Shut up, Mud Boy!” she screamed violently. Then, as quickly as her temper came, it left. The pixie smiled cunningly. “Yes, Fowl, Minerva is mesmerized. Strange how it took you this long to notice. But that was only a slight advantage. I hardly needed it at all.”
“But how . . . ?” Holly’s voice trailed off. She tried again. “How did you manage to break out of jail and mesmerize Minerva without being caught?”
Opal glared at her. “You aren’t stupid, are you, Short? It was very easy. I simply ambushed Lily Frond right before I actually went to jail and I fixed her up to look like me. Then I dyed my hair blond and curled it. The only thing I couldn’t do anything about was my rounded ears, so I just let my hair cover them. I acted as Lily Frond the whole time while she was in the jail cell I was supposed to be in. I did everything she was supposed to do. And if I say so myself, I was a pretty good actress.”
“When did you mesmerize Minerva?” Holly asked. How Opal did all this was astounding, but Holly was far from admiring her.
“I did it after the demon episode. I sneaked to the surface disguised as a human and, with an omnitool, broke into her house during the night. I woke her up and mesmerized her then.” Opal suddenly stopped, and she scowled darkly. “Now, now, Captain Short, no more information. Now, Minerva, go and bring Artemis over to me.” Minerva went to Artemis and locked her hand around his arm. She started half leading, half dragging him over to Koboi.
This was not looking good.

OMG!!! I LUUUUURVE this fan fic!!! It’s gonna be A/M right? Coz I don’t wanna waste my time reading another A/H. I love H/T…sooooo cute!!!
Please update! I’ll be waiting!!! So sweet…you could edit some stuff like, in the first chapter, when Minerva asks like, ‘where did you learn that?’ about Arty’s magic, you could put instead of “I siphoned off some magic from the warlock circle and learned how to use it”, you can put ‘I stole it’, something simple sometimes does the trick
Great fic, update!
April 21st, 2007 at 9:33 pm
My two favourite pairings are H/T and A/M and there both (by the looks of it) going to be here! I like the style of writing it’s not too depresing but you can see which parts are serious. Good Job update soon!

Yes, but how likely is it that that will actually happen?
May 4th, 2007 at 11:25 am

May 6th, 2007 at 2:06 am
LISTEN UP EVERYONE VISITS THE COMMENT SECTION!!! PLEASE READ THIS, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! Thanx again for all the comments. But enough of that, I want to play a little guessing game with all of you who have read “Artemis/Minerva”. Post your answers here, in the comment section.
You know how I left you all hangin’ at the end of Chapter Six - Traitor? Well, now I want you all to guess who stepped out of the shadows. It might be really easy, since I dropped about two big clues along the way. So guess people guess!!!
Okay, so maybe this little game wasn’t really that important. But still
You never know what can get other people’s attention! 
May 13th, 2007 at 4:43 am
After reading to the end of chapter six a few questions pop to mind, first, why did Minerva team up with Opal, second, I thought that you were a non Minerva-basher, in fact, to me, you seemed to be a M/A shipper, third, How the heck did Opal escape jail?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
May 15th, 2007 at 12:51 am
ANSWER: Opal Koboi
May 16th, 2007 at 2:53 am
Opal Koboi of course but i dont get why would minerva do that isnt she in love with Artemis.
May 17th, 2007 at 4:16 am
HOW CAN U LEAVE US HANGING LIKE THIS???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
i need 2 know!!!!!
May 17th, 2007 at 10:06 am
Huh? I thought you were an A/M shipper???!!! Or will she turn good? This plot is pretty erm…unlikely, and a teensy bit cliched, since if it’s Opal Koboi, well, she’s already returned once, no?
And the characters are a bit outta character as well. *shrugs*
Tell me if it’s gonna be A/M, coz I really hate fan fics where Minerva’s the antagonist and the baddie.
May 23rd, 2007 at 11:12 pm
Please tell me that this is an M/A story!
May 27th, 2007 at 4:43 am
HOW THE HECK CAN YOU LEAVE US ON A CLIFF HANGER LIKE THAT!! THAT’S JUST PLAIN TORTURE!! PLEASE UPDATE!!!!!! QUICK!!!!!!!!!!!
May 30th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Would you mind tellng us wether this is going to turn out to be a minerva-basher story or not?
June 15th, 2007 at 5:59 am
YAY i like this story….update plzzzzzzz i and others r beggin u to update….U ROCK!
June 18th, 2007 at 3:20 pm
Just keep reading, people. Sorry I haven’t been able to update the last couple of months. I was doing something else for school. But now that school’s over, I can focus on this a little more. And read the seventh chapter if you wanna know how Koboi got into all this and why Minerva is acting all weird. And I apologize if this fanfic is starting to sound really stupid and pointless. By the way, I am still a M/A fan!
July 18th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM……..Well I do have to say that it was good but if you look at your comments often then you should read Betrayal the perfect A/M relastionship right??? Well we will just have to wait and find out. But personaly my opinion and this has nothing to do with you is that Minerva should die plain and smpile but good job very very good
July 21st, 2007 at 11:31 pm

July 22nd, 2007 at 6:51 pm

I must say, your writing is both very accurate and impressive. I await your next chapter with great anticipation.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:03 am
The story is quite “gripping,” and quickly held my attention. Have you ended, or do you plan on writing other chapters? If so, I look forward to them.
July 4th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
this is really something!
the only thing is that minerva is a little ooc, but then again, no one knows much about her.
keep going!
i wonder if minerva herself can write as well as this
