《Specter of Oliver Queen》Chapter 9
Advertisement
After Slade left Anatoly was going to kill Ivo but Oliver held him back. Anatoly and another man walked out of the plane while Oliver and Sara talked to Ivo.
"I wish there was a way to stop Slade and turn him back into the man that I know he is." Oliver said.
"There is a way, and I will give it to you on one condition." Ivo said.
"And what would that be?" Sara said.
"I want you to kill me Sara. I am going to die anyways from the infection in my arm. I think it will be more merciful if I die from a bullet to the head than from the pain of this infection." Ivo said.
"Tell us about the cure and I will do what you want." Sara said.
"Are you really going to kill him Sara? You are not a killer." Quentin said.
"You will just have to wait and see. I don't want to spoil everything." Sara said.
"The cure is in my safe on the ship." Ivo said.
"Ok, I know how to get into that, but we will need to find a way on the ship." Sara said.
"Ok, you promised that you would kill me, so do what you promised." Ivo said.
Sara aims the gun at Ivo and was about to pull the trigger when Oliver stopped her.
"No Sara, I can't let you do this. If you kill him it will change you forever." Oliver said as he took the gun from her and shot Ivo in the head.
"Oh my God, Ollie what did you do?" Thea said.
"He thought that he was already a monster and he didn't want me to become one too. I think that is one of the things that we are going to have to do for him. Let him know that he is not a monster." Sara said and everyone nodded in agreement.
"I knew that it was smart to bring you here, because you have been through it as well. You are able to explain it to them better than we can." Conner said.
The four people who remained on the island then decided that they were going to try to break the submarine free so that they could get off the island and stop Slade as well. When they got on the submarine, they made sure that the sub had power and that it was usable.

"Do you think that you can use this sub, Anatoly?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah, I have used Russian sub so it shouldn't be to much different to drive a Japanese one." Anatoly said.
They turned the power on and tried to steer it out of the bay, but it was stuck on rocks. They went to find the plans for the sub so they could figure out a way to get the sub free.
"Could we use a torpedo to hit the rock and get us free?" Oliver asked.
"It could work. The only problem is that the torpedo needs to be steered manually." Anatoly said.
"What do you mean?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah, what does he mean?" Tommy asked.
"I have heard of these things before. The Japanese would put a man in the torpedo, and he would steer it." Diggle said.
"But that means that someone will have to die." Laurel said.
"Someone will have to get in the torpedo and steer it." Anatoly said.
"I will do it. I am already dying anyways." The other man said as he lifted his shirt, and everyone could see that he had radiation poisoning.
"I am sorry that happened to you." Sara said.
"At least I can do something right as I die instead of dying a painful death." The man said.
The man went and got in the torpedo and Oliver and Anatoly closed the door behind him. Oliver turned to Sara and said, "Sara, I need you to get off the sub until we see if this works. If the torpedo somehow hits the sub, then I need you to be safe and make it home and tell my family and Laurel that I love them."
"I am not going to leave you Ollie." Sara said.
"Just go until we are free then I will come and get you." Oliver said and Sara nodded.
"Ok, Ollie. I ask one thing of you though. If something happens to me, tell my family that I died on the Gambit. I don't want them to know what I did on that ship." Sara said.
"I am not going to lie to your family Sara." Oliver said.
"Oliver, please." Sara said.

"Fine, now get out of here." Oliver said and Sara nodded and left the sub.
Anatoly fired the torpedo and the man in the torpedo steered it and it can around and hit the rock and set the sub free. Oliver then pulled out the radio to call Sara and they could tell that she was being taken by someone. Anatoly steered the sub so that they were in the ocean water and just close enough to the ship to be able to board it.
"Anatoly, I am going to go on the ship and get Sara and cure Slade. If I am not back in an hour, rig the last torpedo so that that it destroys the ship." Oliver said and Anatoly nodded.
"Good luck my friend. I will see you and Sara in an hour." Anatoly said.
Oliver boarded the ship and went to where the cells were for the prisoners and found Sara in one. He let her out and they went to Ivo's office to find the safe with the cure. When they got there, they saw that the safe was already open and there was not cure there.
"I guess you would be looking for this." Slade said as he held up the cure.
"Slade, you need to take the cure. The mirakuru is warping your mind." Oliver said.
"No, I am seeing things clearly. Once I am done with you kid, I am going to go to your home and kill everyone that is important to you." Slade said.
Slade got the crew to bring Sara and Oliver to where the cells were, and Slade pulled out a gun and was about to kill Oliver when there was an explosion in the side of the boat and that cause Slade to become off balance and drop the cure. Sara picked it up and took it to Oliver. Slade attacked them and knocked Sara back and she was pushed into the water that was being suctioned out of the ship and she was sucked away.
"Sara!" Oliver screamed.
"How does it feel to lose her again kid. Now it is only you and me. I will kill you and then I will go after everyone you love." Slade said.
Oliver and Slade began to fight. They were both getting some pretty good hits in. The ship was sinking fast but that didn't matter because they knew that this was going to be a fight to the death for one of them anyways. At the end of the fight, it looked like Slade was finally getting the upper hand and that is when a beam from the ship came down and landed on him. Oliver had the cure in one hand and an arrow in the other.
"What are you going to do kid? Cure me? If you do that, it won't change anything. You took the woman that I loved, and I will do the same to you." Slade said.
Oliver looked back and forth between the cure and the arrow and made his decision. He rared his right hand back and pierced the arrow into Slade's eye killing him.
There was another explosion and it knocked Oliver out and he lay in the water soon to drown.
When Oliver came to, he was in a room laying on a bed. Two Chinese men were watching him and when he got up, they led him out of the room and out to a car. Oliver got in like he was told and there was a woman in there waiting for him.
"My name is Amanda Waller, and I am the Director of a organization called ARGUS. Welcome to Hong Kong, Mr. Queen." Waller said.
"So, Ollie wasn't on the island the whole time he was away?" Thea asked.
"No, he wasn't. This is where he learns to do what is necessary to get the job done." Mia said.
"So, what happened to you, Sara?" Laurel asked.
"I have a feeling that is going to come up sometime in the videos." Sara said.
"Ok, so that is the end of year two. Let's take a break for the night and we will come back to this in the morning." Conner said and everyone nodded as Conner and Mia showed them to their rooms.

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.
