《Specter of Oliver Queen》Chapter 13
Advertisement
The next day Oliver was back in Hong Kong getting debriefed by a U.S. General. Once he was done the General told him that he was free to go. Oliver found Maseo, Tatsu, and Akio outside and they went to the port so that they could catch the ships to where they were going. Oliver was going to catch a ship to the U.S. and Maseo and his family were going to go back to Japan.
"Something about this just doesn't feel right to me. I mean, why did they have to go back to Hong Kong to get debriefed. Something is off." Diggle said.
"I was thinking the same thing." Quentin said.
"I hope you are wrong, but I know that you are probably not." Moira said.
As they reached the docks someone started to shoot at them. The group got split up. Maseo and Tatsu went one way and Oliver and Akio went the other way. They kept running until they could see that they were not being followed closely for a second.
"Akio, where would your parent meet you if you got separated?" Oliver asked.
"They always said to go to the garden." Akio said.
"Ok, so we will go there then." Oliver said as they made their way to the botanical gardens.
When they arrived, they waited for a while until they saw some men in some suits, so they took off running again and Oliver ran into a woman. The woman turned around and when Oliver saw her face, it was like he had seen a ghost.
"Shado?" Oliver asked.
"No, my name is Mai. I am Shado's twin sister. How do you know her?" Mai asked.
"I knew her from school." Oliver said.
"Well, I haven't seen her in years. Do you have any idea where she is?" Mai asked.
"Sorry, I haven't seen her in a while either." Oliver said.
"I was wondering if you could help us. We have some people after us and we need to hide." Oliver said.
"Sure, you and your friend can come with me. I would like to hear more about Shado." Mai said.
When they got to Mai's house Oliver decided to take a shower. Mai happened to see the tattoo on Oliver's shoulder that happened to be at the same place as Shado had it and she called the police because she thought Oliver had something to do with Shado being missing. When Oliver got out of the shower Mai confronted him.
"You know more about my sister then you say. You have her tattoo on your shoulder. I called the police. They will be here soon." Mai said.
All of a sudden people were shooting into the house trying to kill them. Some of the men broke in and Oliver was able to stop one of them but the other was about to shoot him when Maseo and Tatsu came in and killed the rest.

"We have been following you for a while. We just had to wait for them to make their move first." Maseo said as he and his wife hugged their son.
"Thanks." Oliver said as he turned to Mai.
"I will tell you the truth about your sister and your father. They helped me survive on the island of Lian Yu. They are both dead now though. I miss them every day. Just know that they died with honor." Oliver said.
"I have been waiting to hear something about them for so long. It is a relief that I finally know. Thank you." Mai said and the four others left.
"I am going to go to the base and see why Waller is trying to kill us." Oliver said.
When he got there, he walked to the room where Waller had tortured him earlier and he found Waller there beaten up.
"Why are you trying to kill us?" Oliver asked.
"I'm not. It is General Shrieve. He wanted the bioweapon so that he could launch it in China and tear apart the country." Waller said.
"I normally wouldn't believe you but being as though you look like you have gotten the shit beat out of you, I think I can." Oliver said.
"You need to get out of here before he deploys the gas. I hope that we will see each other again sometime Oliver." Waller said.
"I hope we don't." Oliver said.
"I hope that is the last we see of her." Laurel said.
"Me too." Thea said.
"I am going to kill that bitch." Sara said.
Oliver went back to meet up with Maseo and told him what was going on. They knew that they didn't have enough time to get out of the city so there only hope was to find the General and stop him. They found on the men that was working with the General and ended up getting the information that they needed out of him.
First, they went to find the serum that would inoculate them so that the bioweapon would not hurt them and then they went to find the weapon. They found the man that had a vile that he was going to disburse at a food truck, and they tried to stop him, but Oliver could not catch the vile before it hit the ground. Oliver looked around and saw how the virus was affecting everyone around them. In a panic the people were going up to a van where men were giving shot. Oliver and Maseo figured out that those men were giving the people the virus and not the cure. Oliver fired his gun in the air and scared the people off and then he shot the men who were giving the shots. They then lit the van on fire and destroyed all of the virus that was in there.

Oliver then went and stole a car so that they could go and pick Akio up and leave the city. Once they picked Akio up, they were on their way out of the city when Akio's nose started to bleed. They stopped the car and went into a pharmacy to see if they could find anything that would make Akio's fever go down. Oliver and Maseo left to go to the base and get a cure from the General. They took out all of the guards and went into the General's office.
"We need the cure for the virus." Maseo said.
"Why would I give it to you?" The General asked.
"Because, if you don't, when I am done with you, you will wish you were dead." Oliver said.
"It's in the safe." The General said and he gave them the combination and they opened it to get the cure.
"You're coming with us though." Oliver said as he grabbed the man by the arm and pushed him along.
When they got back to the pharmacy, they got the vile and asked, "How much of this do we give him?"
The General did not answer so Oliver shot him in the shoulder with an arrow. The General gave them an amount and then he said, "It won't work anyways. It looks like the boy is already dead."
They looked down and saw that he was right. "It was just insulin anyways." The General said.
Soon there were red dots all over the place. "This was just so we could find where you were hiding anyways. We can't leave any lose ends." The General said.
The General's men broke in the building and Oliver, Maseo, and Tatsu took them all out and then knocked the General out as well. They left and found a place to cremate Akio. Maseo and Tatsu both had an earn for themselves and then they gave one to Oliver.
"I shouldn't have one of these." Oliver said.
"Akio would have wanted you to have this. He thought of you as a friend." Tatsu said.
Oliver was really upset about all of this happening. He went back to the pharmacy and found that the General was awake. "You killed a friend of mine. Now you are going to see what I can really do." Oliver said as he knocked and arrow and released it into the General's other shoulder.
Later Maseo and Tatsu walked in and saw the General laying on the ground with a lot of arrows in him.
"I didn't kill him. He just passed out." Oliver said.
"You are a monster Oliver. Akio wouldn't have wanted this." Tatsu said.
Maseo walked up to the General and shot him in the head. When they left the store Maseo turned to Tatsu and said, "I must leave. I can't be with you anymore because I failed our son. I must find another path that will allow me to use my guilt. Goodbye Tatsu."
Tatsu cried for a while and then she went to the docks and she saw Oliver there. "So, what will you do now? Will you go back home?" Tatsu asked.
"No, I can't do that. Like you said, I am a monster, and my family and friends don't need that around them. What will you do?" Oliver said.
"There is a monastery that I have heard about. I might go there." Tatsu said.
"What about you and Maseo?" Oliver asked.
"He had to find his own path, just like I do now. The guilt of Akio's death was too much for the both of us." Tatsu said.
"Well, I wish you luck. If you ever need anything just give me a call." Oliver said and Tatsu nodded as she went her own way and Oliver went to get on a ship to Coast City.
"Wow, I feel sorry for them. They lost their son, and they can't deal with the pain. I guess I would be the same way if something happened to Conner." Laurel said.
"I can't believe that Ollie did that to that General though." Thea said.
"I can. Sometimes you can only take so much before you snap. I mean look at it. He isn't even going to go home because of what he did." Sara said.
"I know what he did was wrong, but it doesn't change the fact that he is a good man under it all. He just lost his way while he was grieving." Laurel said.
"That is right Laurel and that is why when he gets home, we are all going to have to be there for him so that he doesn't turn into that monster again." Sara said.
"See, this is good. You are all learning what you need to do once he gets home and we are not even having to tell you. There is still more then that that you will have to do though. Let's take a break and then come back to year four." Mia said.
