《Specter of Oliver Queen》Chapter 8
Advertisement
The first part of the plan was for Oliver to get captured and taken on the ship. He had to get the crew's attention somehow, so he sparked an arrow and fired it at a pile of wood, and it ignited. Once Ivo sent the men to take Oliver on the ship, they took him into a room and tied him to a chair and injected him with what was like a truth serum.
"What is the plan here Oliver? Where are Sara and your friend?" Ivo asked.
"They are already on the ship. They are in the engine room trying to sabotage the engines." Oliver said.
"Well, I will send my men down there and they will stop them." Ivo said.
What Ivo didn't know was that the remedy that Sara had given Oliver was to counteract the truth serum, so everything he had said was a lie to allow most of the men to go below deck to look for Sara and Slade while they were really riding the parachute in from the island.
"Wow, that looks like it would be fun." Tommy said.
Slade and Sara landed on the deck of the ship and Slade took out the men that were still on the deck, which caught Ivo's attention, so he left Oliver who was then able to get out of his bonds and get to where Slade and Sara were so that he could get his bow and arrow.
"Remember Ollie, if you see Ivo you need to kill him. He will twist what happened with Shado and make Slade believe that it was your fault that it happened." Sara said.
"I don't think it will come to that." Oliver said.
"Ivo is good with words, Ollie. He will make Slade believe that you chose me." Sara said.
"Ok, I will do it." Oliver said.
Oliver left Sara and went to find his way to the bridge of the ship where he knew that Ivo was going to be. Sara went to unlock all of the cages that the prisoners were in so that they could help with the escape. When Oliver got to the bridge, he took the guard out that Ivo had with him and then he aims an arrow at Ivo, but he wasn't able to release the arrow.

"Good, I am glad that he wasn't able to do it." Laurel said.
"You are going to wish he did in a second." Sara said.
"Really. Why is that?" Thea asked.
"You will see." Sara said.
"Hello Oliver, why are you aiming that arrow at me like you are going to kill me?" Ivo asked.
"Because I should kill you for what you did to Shado." Oliver said.
"But it was you who really killed her. I gave you a choice and you put yourself in front of Sara. So, you are really the one responsible for her death." Ivo said.
"That is a lie. I put myself there because I wanted you to kill me and let them live." Oliver said.
"But you do admit that you put yourself in front of Sara when I shot Shado?" Ivo asked.
"Why do you keep asking all of these questions?" Oliver asked.
"I just thought your friend would want to know." Ivo said and Oliver turned to see Slade at the door.
"Well shit, this can't be good." Diggle said.
"You are right about that." Sara said.
"Why would Slade turn on Ollie though?" Thea asked.
"Because the mirakuru warps a person's mind. It makes them go crazy in a way." Sara said.
"Is it true what he said kid?" Slade asked.
"No, I didn't choose Sara over Shado." Oliver said.
"Yes, you did. You put yourself in front of Sara when I made you choose, so you are more responsible than I am." Ivo said.
"Shut up." Oliver said as he turned and knocked Ivo out.
"If this is true kid you need to suffer for what you did." Slade said.
"I didn't do what he said I did Slade, I tried to give myself up for the both of them, but he shot Shado anyways." Oliver said.
"But you did block Sara, didn't you?" Slade asked.
"Not on purpose, no." Oliver said.
"But you did so that means that you must pay for Shado's death." Slade said as he charged at Oliver.
Down below on the deck of the ship there was fighting going on between the prisoners and the ships crew. Most of the prisoners were escaping the ship so that they could get to the island so that they would be safe. Oliver got out of the bridge of the ship and meet up with Sara and Anatoly. Oliver sent Sara and Anatoly to jump off the ship while he covered them. When it was time for Oliver to go, he ran for the side of the ship and as he jumped to dive into the water, Slade grabbed his foot and dragged him back onto the ship.

Slade had now taken over the ship and had Oliver chained to the ceiling. He was putting a tattoo on Oliver's shoulder that was a replica of the on Shado had on her shoulder so that he would always remember what he had done to Shado. It turned out that Slade had somehow saved the mirakuru, so he started to inject the prisoners that were left with the serum. All of them were dying.
"Why are all of the prisoners dying and Slade lived somehow?" Quentin asked.
"Because Slade is not using a sedative in them. Slade was lucky." Sara said.
The ship had been damaged during the fight so they could not leave the island. So, Slade needed to find a way to fix the ship. None of the crew that was on the ship knew how to fix it, but they told Slade that there was a prisoner who knew how to fix it. Slade got in touch with the prisoners on the island by using the radio that was in the plane that Slade, Oliver and Sara had been using for shelter.
"If any of you are listening, I need a man named Hendricks, he is an engineer that can fix this ship." Slade said over the radio.
"I am not going to turn myself over to that madman." Hendricks said.
"This message is for Sara, if you get me Hendricks, I will release Oliver." Slade said.
"Oh no, I am not giving myself up for your friend." Hendricks said and Anatoly knocked out Hendricks from behind.
"I never really liked him anyways, and Oliver was always nice to me and he did come back like he said he would." Anatoly said.
"Ok, you have a deal Slade, we will have Hendricks here waiting for you. Bring Ollie here and we will make the trade." Sara said to Slade over the radio.
"I knew you were a smart girl. I will be there soon." Slade said as he got some of the crew to bring Ivo to him.
"So, show me with this gun how you shot Shado." Slade said.
Ivo took the gun and held it just like he did when he shot Shado but to his surprise Slade cut off his hand at the wrist.
Now Slade was leading the crew, plus Oliver and Ivo to the plane so that he could pick up Hendricks to fix the ship. They made the trade and Oliver, and Ivo were left with the prisoners on the island and Slade took Henricks. Slade walked away but then turned back around and went into the plane with Hendricks.
"Did you not think that I would smell the explosives on this man. The mirakuru enhanced all of my senses, so I would take the explosive off of him if I were you or we will all die right here." Slade said.
They did as he said, and Slade and he left them there to die on the island.
"I would kill you all for that, but that would be too merciful. I will just leave you on this island to fend for yourselves without me." Slade said.
"Well, that didn't turn out the way that I thought it was going to." Laurel said.
"Like I have said before, nothing about the last five years has been good for Ollie and I." Sara said.
"Sara whenever you do get home, just know that I love you and I will be there for you." Laurel said.
"Thanks sis. I love you to and I am sorry for what I tried to do to yours and Ollie's relationship." Sara said.
"I think you have gone through enough and I forgive you for that now." Laurel said.
"Thank you." Sara said.
"Ok, so what happens next? My guess is that they try to take the ship somehow." Tommy said.

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
