Ok guys, had to do this to take my mind of "The lesson". Seeing there's another story out there called "The marksmen" that will probably never get finished this seemed like a good idea, enjoy and review!

The lights of starling city shone brightly, hidding the stars and showing only the green hooded figure walking cautiously through a deserted alley. In his left hand he held a bow and a quiver hung from his back.
"The hood" as most people now knew him, took a hand to his ear and spoke into the transmiter -Dig I can't see 'em. You sure they're here?-
A deep but friendly voice answered -Positive Oliver, Felicity has set up a thermal scan, they're there alright-
The green figure looked around, if his time on the island had taught him something was to expect the unexpected and always watch his sorroundings.
Paying closer attention he noticed that he was standing over an opening to the sewers, he kneeled and moved the heavy piece of metal covering it out of the way, he leaped in.
-Dig I'm in a sewer, signal may get a little dizzy-
-Co...y t...t O...ver, just wa... the s...t off be...re you c..me ho...-
He walked as silently as the water splashing under his feet allowed him to until he heard voices ahead, one in particular that he knew and hated.
-Malcolm Merly - he said aiming steadily with his bow
- You've failed this city, get on your knees and put your hands where I can see them-
The man in an elegant tuxedo turned to face him.
-The vigilante, sorry but I'm afraid I can't do that-
-Then I'm afraid you're not going to jail- He let the arrow fly but the man sidestepped and the projectile fell harmlessly a few feet away.
-Getting slow archer, and by the way...it's you who'll end up in the morgue-
Suddendly he heard footsteps aproaching, he was sorrounded by men with guns; MANY men with HEAVY guns.
He prepared to fight while scolding himself, how stupid, it had been a trap and he had fallen right into it.
-Goodbye "hero"-
The men opened fire sending chunks of concrete and bullet cases flying everywhere.
-Stop!- Merlyn ordered as he walked forward to confirm the kill, but the corpse he longed for wasn't there. He stared at the floor with confussion and rate, how had he gotten away?

Back at "the quiver" as Oliver, Dig and Felicity had taken to call their hidding place, both of them looked at the screens with horror.
-Felicity I can't get a signal, I've lost Oliver!-
The blonde typed frantically into the computer -The thermal isn't showing squat either-
The weigh of those words dawning on him the bodyguard asked -Is he...?-
-Nope- she quickly interrupted -Even if he had died the he'd show up in the thermal for a minute more. He's vanished Dig, into thin air...literally-
More confused than ever he asked -But how?-
-No clue, maybe I can backtrace the signal; find him somehow but...-
She was cut short by static appearing on the screens which was replaced by a strange humanoid creature.
It was covered in white fur, the few parts of visible skin on his face and palms was a dark gray.
-Greetings, I am the master of games and I have contacted you to inform that your friend is safe and sound. He has been chosen among five other champions to participate... in the ULTIMATE ARCHERY CHAMPIONSHIP!- those last words were a excited, triumphant yell - You will be able to monitor his progress through this media-
Diggle and Felicity looked at each other -Dig who is this guy?-
-Don't know girl- he sighed -But I do know something, we should listen to him-
