You know what? I'm too goddamn tired for this. No one listens, anyway. (Head Doctor)

No tips or hints tonight my friends. But I have a message for Big Bad Doctor Man. This game is old and tired, Martin. You want to destroy me? You want to break me? Then be a man - come for me! Stop hiding behind easy targets, Martin. You are a coward! You are a pathetic, frightened little man who refuses to fight his own battles! You make me sick! I've had enough. No more history repeating itself, no more lashing out at me with cheap tricks and gutless blows. You disgust me. Terrorists go after the innocent to hit their targets, Martin. So I say again-- if you want me, come and find me. Or I will come for you. One way or another, you false god, I will see you dead. You will pay for your crimes and I will be your judge, jury and executioner. I'm afraid it may be some time before I walk among you again, my friends. It isn't safe for you. Watch your back, watch the backs of those you love. The stakes are getting higher. Jack out. (Radio/Alec Doyle)

Oh, dear, and you call me a liar! Of course, I have no time for petty games at the moment. No, no, right now, I'm at the end of another long night and yet again I've been too busy looking after your collective behinds to give you new games to play with. You'll just have to deal with the same old toys for now. Aheh, not that you all care. I'm sure all of you are completely oblivious to just how amusing this place can really be. But no matter. Daylight is upon all of you, isn't it? I'm sure most of you are either being quick about using your last minute of 'freedom' for all it's worth or simply slumping in a bed, bleeding after being injured by all my little pets. Years of research, this place took, I'll have you know. I'm sure Alec could tell you all about that, of course. I suppose that's all you ingrates can comprehend for the moment. And so the cycle continues. (Head Doctor)

Artemis makes his way out of his room and heading towards M28.

He meets with Renji, by chance, for the first time after goading him on the bulletin board. He's pointed in the direction of the hall Artemis is looking for.

Artemis meets Ed in front of his room. The two have a small spat, but end it as Renji arrives. Artemis watches Ed make a knife, and is very interested in alchemy as a scientific process. Renji takes the knife and leaves, while Ed goes to get Adel. When Renji returns, he's been in a fight. Tamaki and Kyon follow him in. Renji makes Artemis suture his wound, causing Artemis to hurl in the waste bin. Ed comes back, stating that Adel has been captured, and Hitsugaya arrives with similar news concerning Kairi.

The rescue team is formed...

And they move at the speed of light to the M-U Hallway!

And the battle is on! Three golden monsters engage the group in battle. The party splits into three teams and each takes down one of the monsters. It is discovered that the blood of the monsters has healing properties.

Artemis, Renji, and Sora break into Kairi's room, then Renji orders Artemis to fetch some blood. Artemis complies...

...but not before deciding he needs some containers!

He runs into the hallway, spots an open door, and runs for it.

It's the Pharmacy! Artemis raids the room...

...and heads back to the M-U Hallway as fast as his legs will carry him!

Using the bottles, Artemis bottles all the blood he can get out of the monster that he, Sora, and Renji killed. He leaves the rest of the bottles on the floor, just in case the others kill the monsters before he gets back. Artemis pockets the two full bottles, and carries the half-full one back into Kairi's room.

Artemis comes back and gives Kairi some of the golden blood. Renji protests to Artemis' logic, then carries Kairi out of the room.

Artemis is instructed to stay behind and tell the group which room Adel is in. He stays behind, then waits to bottle the blood of the fallen monsters.

Rena and Jean are the first to fell their beast. Artemis quickly bottles the blood.

With the death of Gabranth, Homura, Ed, and Larsa's beast, Artemis enlists Homura and Gabranth's help in bottling the blood. Of course, each man asks for a bottle of the serum.

Haku--

If you've found this page in my journal, it means I've been taken for experimentation. I don't ask for a rescue party, all I request is that this page be affixed to our door.

Consider the following information concerning myself as payment.

ATTENTION FELLOW PATIENTS

This night, I, Artemis Fowl the Second, was taken from my room by the staff of this so-called Institute. For what purpose, I know not.

That being said, I wish to make your (and my) lives easier by releasing certain details which will be helpful to both of us. Please understand that I hold you as much responsible for my rescue, as I hold myself responsible for what might happen to my unfortunate victims (see: not at all). Read this, don't read this, come find me or don't. It doesn't matter to me. But before you turn away and go about your business--you should know that helping me in my hour of need will earn you rewards.

Read on, and you shall learn.

HOW TO DEFEAT ARTEMIS FOWL

-First of all, my magic is extremely limited. The amount I have in reserve grows smaller and smaller with each injury I sustain.

-I don't believe that any brainwashing technique could improve my magical ability, but in my current state, it is impossible for me to mesmerize (force a target to do my bidding) anyone.

-Should I be able to to mesmerize another patient, they will not come to their senses very easily. It is possible, but I will undoubtedly make it difficult. The best way to end the spell is to either knock me unconscious or kil defeat me. Draining my magic will also weaken the spell, but as I've said before, I'm not sure how much I possess. That route could take a while.

-If an injury is serious enough, it will take all of my magic just to keep me alive. This is a good way to disable my only weapon.

-However, IF I AM GIVEN A WEAPON OF ANY KIND, I will use my left hand. Please do not feel intimidated by this--I am a poor swordsman, and an even poorer shot.

-If I'm somehow disabled and still alive, could someone take whatever items I'm wearing? I've heard we get our clothes back, and I miss my suit terribly.

-And the reward: besides keeping all your limbs, I might have a ring on. It looks like a normal ring, but it can be used as a phone. This, plus any items I may be carrying, are yours. I will not contest ownership.

IF I AM NOT BRAINWASHED, BUT TAKEN FOR EXPERIMENTATION

There are pill bottles full of golden monster blood in my dresser. The blood has healing properties. Take these bottles in exchange for contacting any of the following people:

You are welcome to anything in my room in exchange for contacting any of the following people:

Obi-Wan Kenobi - Room M43
Qui-Gon Jinn
Abarai Renji - Room M42
Sora
Edward - Room M28
Rena
Naminé - Room F7
Hitsugaya Toshiro - Room M23
Farfarello - Room M40
Schuldig
Matsumoto Rangiku
Harry Potter

If the blood whatever you find is not enough, I can promise more rewards once I am in my right mind/safe.

I thank you, associates, friends, enemies, and fellow patients alike, for reading this.

--Artemis Fowl II
