《Specter of Oliver Queen》Chapter 29
Advertisement
"Ok, so what is Ollie going to be dealing with in this year?" Sara asked.
"You might actually be able to help him out this year Sara. It has to do with training that you already have." Conner said.
"Well, that sounds interesting, but why would Ollie need more training?" Laurel asked.
"Because he will need it to beat who is coming for him now." Mia said.
"Ok, let's see what happens." Thea said.
Laurel leads Oliver up to what looks like a press conference and he is wondering why he needs to be there. He sees Quentin go up to the podium and he gets even more curious. Quentin goes on to announce that he is now a Captain in the SCPD and that he will be disbanding the vigilante task force. Oliver seemed to be very happy about this.
Later Oliver, Roy, and Diggle are going after people who are selling Vertigo. They catch a man and turn him over to the SCPD. Little did they know that the man slipped a tracker on the Arrow. Oliver leaves straight from the mission to meet Felicity for their first date. Someone blows up the restaurant trying to kill Oliver. Felicity is unconscious and Oliver get her back to the lair and lays her on the table and he tries to track down who did this.
Oliver was also trying to get his company back which he and Felicity thought was going to be easy, but little did he know that he was going to have a competitor, in Ray Palmer. Palmer who platform was to make the city a better place and change the name from Starling City to Star City. Palmer ended up winning the vote and control of the company. When they were on the way out of the building Oliver told Felicity that it was probably best that this happened because he couldn't be two people. He couldn't be Oliver Queen and the Arrow, meaning that he also couldn't be with her.
The team found out that Werner Zytle was the person behind the attack on Oliver at the restaurant and that he was now the new seller of Vertigo. They also found out that he was trying something at the sports arena. The team gets to the arena
and looks for the bomb. Roy finds it and Felicity tells him that he will have to freeze it to stop the timer. He finds the cooling line and gets it and freezes the timer. Oliver is now on the roof fighting Zytle who doses him with Vertigo. It doesn't really affect him now because he knows who is where he didn't really know who he was the last time around. Sara shows up to help him out and Zytle is taken down.
Diggle didn't go on this mission because Oliver had sidelined him because he was about to be a father. It turned out that it was a good thing that Oliver did that because Lyla ended up having the baby while Oliver and Roy were in the field. Everyone met at the hospital to meet the baby.
Sara then goes and meets Laurel on the rooftop of one of the buildings in the city. After they catch up for a while Laurel leaves because she has to work on a case. Sara turns around and sees someone she was not expecting to see and then she was shot by three arrows causing her to fall off the building and land right in front of Laurel who was distraught at seeing that her sister was dead.

Oliver was called by Barry and they were meeting on a rooftop. Barry had just gotten out of a coma and he found out that he had powers. He wanted Oliver's advice because he didn't know how to be a hero. Oliver talked to him and told him that he could be a better hero than the Arrow. Barry then sped off back to Central City.
"Ok, so how am I supposed to help Oliver if I am dead?" Sara asked.
"You know what happens, so you change it." Conner said.
"Ok, but we don't even know who it was that did it." Laurel said.
"That will become clear later." Conner said and everyone nodded.
The team is walking into the lair when they all get a big shock when they see Laurel standing there with Blood on her close and Sara laying on the table with arrows in her chest, dead.
Quentin tells the arrow that there is another archer in town that has been killing people. Oliver is going to take care of this other archer. They track this archer down and he and Oliver face off, but the man gets away. They all think that this is the man who killed Sara. The team then tracks the archer down again and Oliver secures him but then finds out that Laurel followed him, and she pulls a gun on the other archer. Oliver talks her down and they also find out that he was not in town when Sara was killed.
Oliver had been trying to get in touch with Thea for a while and he was not able to. Roy sees this and he finally tells Oliver that Thea left him a note on the night of the Siege and left because he was helping Oliver as the Arrow.
The team then goes and buries Sara in her own grave that is still there from when they thought she had died on the Gambit. Laurel thinks that it is better not to tell Quentin because of his heart problems. She doesn't know how he might react to the news.
There is what seems to be a women sword fighting with a few other people the woman wins the fight and then she takes of the mask that she is wearing showing that it is Thea who is training under Malcolm to fight and she has gotten very good at the fighting as well.
"So, that is what I become as of right now. Can't say that I mind that. Just wish it wasn't Malcolm teaching me." Thea said.
"We will make sure that doesn't happen now. Some of us will train you." Sara said.
"Thanks." Thea said.
Diggle is asked by Lyla to go and find and agent of ARGUS that has not been checking in from Corto Maltese. Oliver and Roy end up going as well because Felicity track Thea to there as well.
Oliver found Thea working at a restaurant and tries to talk her into going back to Starling with him. She refuses to go back home. Later Roy finds her and talks to her and she refuses him as well.
Diggle goes and meets with Mark Shaw and he surprises Diggle and get a drive from him with all the agents of ARGUS on it. Later the team figures out where Shaw is going to sell the list and they stop him.
Oliver then goes back and tries to get Thea to come home with him one last time. He tells Thea the truth about their father's death and then he leaves her alone.

Laurel had heard in AA that this girl that was there was continual getting beaten by her boyfriends. She goes after the guy and it didn't go so well for her. Laurel was too overconfident in her skills as a fighter and that cost her. She knew she had a few black belts in a few different forms of martial arts, and that made her overconfident. That would not happen again because she was going to go refine her skills at Ted Grant's Gym.
As Oliver, Roy, and Diggle are waiting at the airport to go home, Thea walks in and she has finally decided to go home. When the team meets in the lair later that night, they are threatened by Nyssa who is looking for Sara.
"Oh boy, that can't be good." Quentin said.
"I would say not." Moira said.
"That looks like something that would happen to me. I can sometimes get a little bit overconfident." Laurel said.
"Well, at least you are going to work on it." Sara said.
"Yeah, looks that way." Laurel said.
Oliver tells Nyssa that Sara is dead. Nyssa tells the team that Sara was back because they had heard rumors that Merlyn was still alive, and Sara was sent to investigate.
The team, plus Nyssa, go to some kind of retreat and they do find Malcolm there and Oliver hits him with a tracking arrow. Oliver then gets in touch with Merlyn, and they meet in a public place. Malcolm tells Oliver that he was not the person who killed Sara and the only reason he came back was to save Thea during the Siege.
Oliver relays this information to the team and Nyssa doesn't believe it and she finds out about Thea being Malcolm's daughter. Nyssa goes and kidnaps Thea to use her as bait for Malcolm. Oliver goes in and saves Thea and then Malcolm shows up. Oliver and Malcolm fight against Nyssa and Oliver ties her up. She begs for him to kill Malcolm and he doesn't. He then tells Nyssa that Malcolm will be protected as long as he is in Oliver's city. Nyssa didn't like this, and she told Oliver that he had made a power enemy that night and she left to go and report back to her father.
Quentin questions Laurel on whether she had heard anything from Sara lately. He was getting worried because she had not been answering his calls for a while now.
"So now everyone knows that Merlyn is alive. I wonder how that goes over." Laurel said.
"I can't imagine it will go over well." Moira said.
"I am upset about this as well. We need to make sure he doesn't live in our future." Sara said.
"Yes, you do. He causes to much trouble to not make sure of it." Conner said.
Ted Grant walks into his gym and finds a dead person there with the word guilty written on the floor. This catches the eye of Team Arrow. Oliver goes and confronts and the man as the Arrow and learns that Ted used to be a vigilante called Wild Cat. Oliver soon finds out that Laurel has been training under Ted since he had told her that he wouldn't do it. Oliver, Ted, and Laurel then find out that it is Ted's old sidekick that is trying to frame him.
Later Roy is talking to Felicity about the dreams that he has been having about killing Sara. Roy gets Felicity to do a blood test to make sure that there is no Mirakuru still in his system and there wasn't. Oliver then tells Oliver and Laurel about his dreams and this upsets Laurel.
Later Laurel and Ted are taken hostage by Ted's sidekick and Oliver and Roy come and save them. Roy was the one who took down the sidekick and then he made sure to ask Oliver not to abandon him like Ted did his sidekick.
Later in the lair, Oliver used a trick that Tatsu had taught him that made you remember things on Roy. He ended up finding out that it was not Sara that he had killed but a policeman while he was still under the influence of the Mirakuru.
"Ok, so now I know that I killed that cop." Roy said.
"Yeah, I am sure you would be feeling guilty over that as well." Thea said.
"Yeah, I am sure I am." Roy said.
Cupid, who is really named Carrie Cutter is a former cop who happened to be saved by Oliver during the Siege. She has a condition that makes her obsessed with him. She kills Ted's former sidekick, and she uses a former acquaintance of hers to find out where the Arrow is based out of.
Cupid calls Oliver and lets him know that she is at the club and Oliver finds a way to lure her out of there. When they finally meet in person, he tells her that nothing is going to happen between them. This causes Cupid to get mad and she tries to kill both of them. Oliver ends up saving the both of them which just happens to make her thing that she is even more in love with him now. Oliver hands Cupid over to ARGUS because he thinks that she will be better off there then in prison because she can work off her time as part of the Suicide Squad.
Palmer and Felicity are starting to get close now that she is working for him at what is now known as Palmer Tech. Oliver is a little upset that Felicity is spending so much time with Palmer and decides to go and see if they can work something out when he walks in and see Palmer and Felicity kissing. Ray is also seen to be creating a suit that would allow him to go out and help the city the way that Team Arrow does. Its codename is ATOM.
It is later seen that a man who uses boomerangs as weapon has now come to town and is killing people.
"Looks like Palmer might be joining the game as well." Diggle said.
"Yeah, but you can't rely on a suit to do all the work for you. You need to know how to fight." Sara said.
"I think he ends up finding that out at some point." Mia said.
"Looks like the city is getting a lot more heroes as Oliver continues his crusade." Laurel said.
"Yes, it does. I am glad that I am going to be a part of it with pretty much everyone in this room." Thea said.
"Ok, so what happens next?" Tommy asked.
A/N: Some of you might be wondering why I didn't include the episode "The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak." I didn't see where the episode would really do anything for my story. Sorry if that was one of the episodes you were looking forward to. Anyways, Thanks for reading and please leave some reviews to let me know how you like the story so far.

The City of the Dragon Twisted
. 🐉 . The City of The Forever-Peace witnesses a pale young Buddhist Monk fighting his fearful thoughts of whether to cross the borders to Nepal and India against the death penalty. Why would that matter?

Meanwhile, news has traveled that his Dharma-Son, Pan G. Monk faces an incredible Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves. The Empress Wǔl Zénder-Tan’ couldn't be careless. Why would that matter to the imperial family? Monks are just officials with equal vicarious duties and privileges.

Whereas The Abbot Master Xend'-Zeon of the Jade-Lotus Temple faces factions of religious politics. Particularly in the present, the Empress needed to manipulate the Master’s reputation to desperately seek life and/or the after-life merits. She decreed to be addressed as The Old Buddha Grand Father. The Master has had ideals of service to sentient beings since he was young. He could have traveled the Silk Road to the Far West entrance-point bypassing the five beacons as shortcuts save that he lacks the pertinent travel documents. Instead, he chose to cross the 800-mile овь-Gobi Desert that is as vast as the Baikal Sea, on foot. A route that is impossible in the history of the Buddha dharma. His heart never withers to support the mage of the red lotus that promises the Enlightenment of the Buddha-Land. Except that no one has ever endured the latitude of the heat. The pain. Alive, out of the desert sea. But he is also vulnerable to recognize the un-staticity of The Truth, The Truth itself, and the truth of seeking passion and mission for compassion in humankind. The mind and body reciting The Sūtra and The Heart, A phenomenon they knew better as if souls in chemical layers of their physique. Realizing enhanced mind training attaining controlling powers of life and death. Realizing the transformation of the unbearable pains and grievances he thought possible. . 2 . 🐉 . Meanwhile, dreams have been watching him to open The Third Eye, at The City's Amethyst-Jade Palace of the Second Emperor, Third Emperor, and Fourth Empress.

Lives at brinks of suicidal choices slaughtering ordeals. Who have inadvertently neglected the Master's karmic inflictions that would paradoxically affirm in a point of Near-Death Experiences; The Two-Profound-Reflective presented upon attaining The Deep-Active-Meditatitive Flow of Equanimity Samādhi. Eventually, The Seer Consciousness sees the Active Heart that is replete with The Latent Unconditional Love, Compassion And Empathy; that had been so close to us that we could not see it; as if one cannot see her own face. . 3 . 🐉 . Meanwhile also, the Imperial Criminal Affairs Clerk Ewen Hawk-Jean suffers too much seeking possession of desires and relief from a certain situation. Pan G., the Assistant Dharma-Translator to the Abbott Master Xend'-zeon has voluntarily or otherwise fallen into the supposed conspiracy or plain indifference. The imperial family's agenda of the Imperial Family of The Fang’-Chucks of course longs for a waist cut in halves not simply as souvenirs. Awaiting the Abbot Master is to come out from the disturbance. Incredibly transformative factors of the Mind-Transcendence-Samadhi are profoundly desired to spare the Monk Pan G. from the Post-Autumn Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves...... …But why would it matter to You?

Psychotic Death Online

These capsules could be use for rehab and even reconstruction! Eventually, Buzzard, the largest gaming company in the world, created a new VRMMO with 99% realism pending the new capsules, of course the rate dropped to 97% with normal capsules and 90% with the old fashioned visor systems. Unfortunately, the new capsules cost $100,000 and not many people can afford them, either way the new game World of Destiny was a hit with over 110 million subscriptions!Meet our tragic MC Feng Jun, an injured psychopath that simply wants to get his next kill. He has no MO, he doesn't even care if what he kills is an insect let alone a person. He just has to kill every once in awhile to scratch his itch. Up til an injury that left him without a leg, he was able to make do simply killing insects as no one cared and he didn't even have to visit any doctors about it. People just thought he hated bugs! But after his injury he has been suck at his home not being able to do anything! Fortunately he is rich and spends most of his time playing MMOs since normal VRMMOs don't work well with his injury as the realism setting always keeps him with only one leg! But what will he do with a new opportunity to rebuild his leg with nanotech? Knowing he has to spend a year in the game minimum for something like this, he sets a goal to insure he doesn't go crazy (er) without having stuff to kill.This is a VRMMO story where the game is closer to zhan long than royal road with a few twists here and there. The world outside of the game is sci fi and has very little impact at least for the first year due to obvious reasons. No gore or explicit sex in this story, if cursing requires a mature tag I will add it later, this story is at best PG-13. Tragedy is for his circumstances and previous life, the game itself isn't tragic at all as it's just a game more or less.(This story will be put out alongside my main story whenever I feel like it for now, no set schedule at this time)

Magikind [Original]
The third millennia, a time of change and evolution. An era, where people, through countless generations, have evolved strange powers and abilities. Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some refused to change or adapt. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin, will herald a new era for all Magikind. A story of how man could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. Disclaimer: Chapters will be edited once the first volume is done. Bear the beginning for the time being, and hopefully you can see my writing improving over time (I've learnt a lot on how to write because of this (though I'm still not perfect :P)) Proud Member of Writers to the End, WriTE The link to the pledged fictions PS. If you find the 'notes' too boring or too info-dumpy, feel free to skip them and just read the main chapters. They're there for the reader to understand Gin's world (written in the perspective of Gin). But later on, we can see some interactions between the main characters and the occasional references to his past in the notes, so it has its purpose.
