Here is chapter 7. Sorry it's been such a long wait but I've been focused on finishing another story, along with moc exams and art course work.

I hope the wait will be worth it


Chapter 7

City Chaos


2 hours later

Diggle, Laurel and Thea were stood in the mayors office, the mayor had just been elected and currently he paced up and down in front of his desk. They had come to an agreements that for as long as it took to insure the city's safety they would not be hunted by the police.

The room was dimmed only a small desk light lit up the room, the young mayor turned to the trio. "I though the green arrow was one of you?" He questioned stopping his pacing and turning to the vigilantes, you could now see his features, he was quite tall his hair was jet black and fell over he forehead sitting just above his eyebrows, is brown eyes shone out against his flawless skin. Mayor Lorton.

"He was, until several months ago." Diggle stated.

"Yes, he disappeared." The mayor recalled.

"It seemed so, we were not around at the time, he was alone and when we came back he was gone. It seemed he was captured during our absence by a collective group of villains that held grudges against him. However now it appears that they have handed him over to HIVE, it seemed they have grouped together to form an army if you will." Diggle explained.

"What do you suggest we do?" Lorton asked.

"One thing is for certain, do not hand them control, we will fight till the end." Laurel replied the group turned to go.

"Wait" Lorton called, "He was so strong, so determined, what happened to him?"

"Let's just say what ever they did to him to turn him into this thing, it was nothing pleasant, it would not be easy to break him that is for sure but they did it."


Another 2 hours later

Darhk's hideout just outside Star City

Damian Darhk sat on a large throne like chair in a vast empty room, a smile raised his pale lips. Het was so close, everything was set in place. Any way the night would play out he would have Scarlett City by dawn. It had been four and a half hours since his warrior had made the live broadcast to Scarlett City, the city hadn't surrendered but yet again he did no think they would. It was merely an way to tell them that it was their fault that any battle had broken out, that it could have been so much simpler.

The grand tall doors on the opposing wall of the long room swung open slowly, Darhk raised his head from of off his hand as his key to world domination walked through the door. Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow marched purposely across the room. His hood was lowered, unmasked, his bow glued to his back, this was what he had been taught over the last four months, this look was him being submissive.

It had taken at least two months to fully break him, it took a lot of effort on hi behalf, after they found out that he had been faking it for the first two weeks and those idiots who he had left him with whilst he attended to other business had believed him. Damian was in a way relieved, he knew that for Oliver to bow to him he would have to be the one to break him. And he did.

Now as his warrior neared his throne he knelled, his head was bowed like always.

"Master, you summoned me?" It was more of a statement than a question.

"Yes, the time has come. You will finally be allowed free to fight like you were born to do. But I must warn you any act of defiance you will be servilely punished, is that understood?" There was no immediate response, Good he remembers the consequences of his defiance.

"I understand fully master."

"Good, now come." Oliver rose and moved and knelled before the throne, before his master. "Hold out your arm." He commanded and Oliver did so without hesitation. "Hold out your left arm." Damian commanded, Oliver instantly held out his left arm. Damian took the arm in his hand revealing a black metal strap which took up roughly 5cm of his upper wrist. The strap was specially designed, it was of a similar design to a smart watch with one more added feature, it doubled up as a tracker. He could not trust his prize not to run away, after all it was known that the man could survive quite well in the wild. Now however after months of training, the Green Arrow was now tame enough to be let off his leash and Damian trusted that he would come back when he was called. If not he would only recapture his wolf and the process would begin again until there was only his wishes left.

"Oliver I trust that you will come back when I call you."

"Always Master." Oliver raised his head and the two warriors locked eyes.

Damian took a weary breath, he entered a code into the small screen on the strap, there was a small click as the lock came open and the strap came away in his hands. He dug into his suits pockets and pulled out a similar strap, it looked exactly the same.

As he began to manually fasten the strap around Oliver's wrist he explained the difference, " As I said I trust you to come back when called, this proves my trust in you for it does not have tracker, it can also be removed by yourself, in whole in merely serves as a communications device." He finished locking it in place.

"Thank you master, I will not fail you, I will bring you the city you deserve at your feet and soon the whole world."

"Good," he looked to his watch, "It seems the city will not be surrendering, I guess I get to put you to use, gather the men. Take five trucks and launch the attack, but don't do it till the five hours are up."

"Yes master, it will be done." Oliver rose to his feet gave a short bow and left.


3:45 am

5 minutes till the 5 hours are up.

Location- main road into the city.

The main road into the city was blocked by a large tuck parked in the middle, it rear was facing towards the city. Inside was the Green Arrow readying the men. His voice could be heard over speakers in the other four trucks which were located on other main entrances to the city. "failure tonight will not be acceptable, but death is not the solution, Darhk does not want to be given a city where the citizens are all dead, the goal is simple. Go in target the police and the mayors office, the loss a public lives must be kept at the bear minimum. Is that understood?"

"Yes sir." The men chanted together. One man spoke up from the crowd, "Sir what will you be doing?"

Oliver gave a small smile, "I will set off before you. But I shall meet those assigned to the police station there. I have some old friends to deal with." There was a small 'DIND'. "Looks like we can go in."

The green arrow made his way to the doors of the wagon, there his emerald green bike stood waiting, his bow strapped to the handle bars just as they had when he had begun this job. He placed his mask on and donned the hood up before slipping the jet black helmet over his head. Next he climbed onto the vehicle. The door began to lower, the soldiers behind him got onto their bikes. Slowly, the ramp descended, the second it clashed with the ground Oliver went speeding out, accelerating down the deserted road at top speed.

Oliver had left the others in dust, his bike was one of the kind and was built for speed where as there's were not. Before long he had entered the dormant city that was usually bursting with life, now it laid like ghost town. He made his path straight to the police head quarters, he past many buildings which held many memories. Pushing them out he continued on his journey.

The towering building past him in a blur. Sensing looks of scared people on him trough curtained windows he kept his eyes an mind forward. His speed increased as he went into thought. Today everything would end, he was the one to decide the fate of the world. A lot had changed since all those long dire years when. It had all started when he set foot on the Queen's Gambit, that day nothing was ever going to be the same.

Now his enemy had opened his eyes to the truth which he was too blind to see on his quest to rid the city of crime as the 'hood.' Oh, how foolish he had been thinking that he could cure the city. He could not see that the city needed to be destroyed and brought back under a new, strong leader. It was what the world needed. He owed Damian, so now he bowed down to him, Damian had taught him and now was his master.

The bike came to a screeching halt as the bike almost carried on past the road which lead to the Station, he had one chance at this. Even though they were on the opposite side of war, his friends were still important to him, he had to give them a chance but if they would not yield then he would be forced to kill them, at least he would make it a quick clean death if it came down to that.

Catching a glimpse of the station in the distance he slowed, coming to a complete halt just outside the building. Razing the helmet off his head he locked the bike standing with a press of a button. There was a small beep, he pressed the small device in his ear, a voice came through, "Sir the mayor was not at the mayor office, those who were there however were killed or taken prisoner."

"Very good, bring your men down to the police department."

"Yes sir." The officer replied before the connection was cut.

Oliver looked to the building as he removed his bow from the bike, it look as dead as the rest of the city, the lights were off but he knew that there was places inside the building where lights could be on without being seen from the outside, or perhaps the windows had been boarded up. He made his way to the front door, testing it he found that it was unlocked, he drew and arrow from his quiver which hung on his back beside a sword which he had brought along with him. Placing the arrow onto the bow string he silently crept into the building making sure that no noise was made as he did so. If the door was unlocked then that meant that they were ready and waiting. Slowly he hade his way down the dimly lit corridor, the little light bouncing off the polished floor, it was so quite that you could here a pin drop and it did.

His attention fluttered up stairs where he was so sure he had herd the noise, he tracked it without a sound up the stairs which he had to strain to lighten his steps as they began to creek. The warrior made his way to a large room, his head turned as he heard a noise to left, then his head snapped to the right as he heard another. Soon the whole room was clicking with the movement of men in a silent city. The clicking he recognised as the all too familiar sound of guns being set and trained. Soon enough red dot appeared on his jacket much like the time Laurel had tricked him into coming but there was no woman in black to save him now.

Out of the shadows came four silhouettes that were easily recognisable, the black canary, Diggle, speedy and then to Oliver's surprise was Roy in his Arsenal suit. "It does not have to be like this." Laure claimed.

"You don't understand, this is the only way it can be. I should have know that as soon as I came back, the city can not be helped it needs a new start, a new beginning, we all do." Oliver debated.

" That's a lie and you know it is." Thea exposed, "What happened to the man I knew?" She continued, "The one that would stop at nothing to save this city? What happened to that man, Oliver?" Oliver took a scan of the room like an owl. "I doesn't matter that they know your name they found it out a while ago when the green arrow and Oliver Queen went missing at the same time." There was an unearthly silence that filled the room.

"You still didn't answer the question, Oliver what happened to the hero that the city once knew?" Diggle pointed out.

The green arrow sighed, "I've been told long ago that a man can't live by two names. Oliver Queen is dead, "he confirmed knowing that there was no going back from this, not now, not ever. "I am the Green Arrow," He continued, "And I will do anything to rid evil from this world."

"Even if that means that you become the evil yourself?" Roy questioned.

The green arrow faltered for a mere second before replying, "If that is what it takes, then so be it."

"I see, so this is how it will be after all this time." Roy continued, "I gave up my life so that you could carry on being the hero the city so desperately needed, now you want to destroy it! Your right Oliver Queen is dead and so is the Green Arrow that I knew! All I see before me is a monster, a twisted man hell bent on saving the world he loves that he would go so far as to destroy it!" Roy took up a fighting stance so did the rest.

Suddenly there was a ear-piercing crash s men jumped through the window. Within seconds the station had become a war zone. Oliver quickly drew his sword, Thea and Roy used there bows as weapons whilst laurel used her escrima sticks whilst Diggle settle with his fists as a gun would not do the job.

Soon the Green Arrow was struggling to keep up to the attack from four angles, but he got o break through as he sword met flash and a cut appeared on Diggle's upper left arm. Soon Oliver gained his stride and the tables were turning, but he was tiring and he struggled to keep the weight off and the favour on his side. That was until he heard an unmistakable cackle from behind, he swooped a quick glance and found Darhk with a smug grin across his face.

"Do you need help there?" The wizard cracked.

"That would help, Master."


Laurel jumped in shock, he had not just called that tyrant 'master' had he, surely it must just be a trick of her hearing. There was no way Oliver had become this man, but he had even said so himself that Oliver Queen was dead. Still she couldn't believe that the man she had loved so much was joking with their enemy like they had been friends for life.


Damian had walked in on a war zone, people were flying dead or injured everywhere, into walls...out of windows. Even with the body of people it hadn't taken long to find his warrior. There waging a four on one battle was Oliver. He smiled, the plan had worked better than he had thought it ever would, now he stood watching the turn in power as his associates took the city. Those that he had got Oliver from had taken a step back, but in return for his perfect den he had promised each some rule in the new world.

But he felt the flicker of light from his wolf, it had been something that his past friends had said to him that were swaying his mind. Even so he fought for him like he had been trained to do. Damian drew in on his power and filled his servant with the power he needed, he watched as Oliver got his second wind and the others didn't know what hit them.

Damian stepping into battle.


Several hours later

Oliver stood dripping in the rain as it battered down on the earth. His left hand clutched his upper right arm as rain mixed with crimson blood panting his arm red as the scarlet drops dripped of the end of his finger and re-joined with the earth.

His hood was down exposing him to the elements but he didn't have the strength to pull it back over his head, so much had happened in the last two hours. He didn't know where he was, only that he was close to the base in the woods where he had been kept and trained by Darhk. He heard footsteps on the wet grass behind him he turned to an injured Laurel following.

"Oliver, Darhk is dead, you don't have to go, you're free. Please come back to us." Laurel pleaded.

"I'm sorry, " Oliver apologised, "I can not come back."

Laurel watched as her love stood drenched in rain hunched over clutching his wound. The silence hung, till slowly Oliver began to turn back towards the woods, he began to limp forward. She knew that there was no stopping him, he needed time to think.

"Where will you go?" She asked.

"I don't know." he answered.

"When will you be back?" She asked trying to find some answers.

"Don't try to find me." Was his only words as the shadows claimed him.

That was the last time she saw that man.


In the woods somewhere.

Oliver was near lost, he needed so desperately to rest but the torrential rain would not allow it. He slumbered on. Suddenly there was a beep. He looked down to the strap that was flashing on his wrist, he clicked the answer button, curious.

At the voice he heard he almost gasped, "Oliver?" Damian questioned, his voice hoarse to a mere croak.

"Master?" He winced, his throat dry.

"Return to base Oliver, I'm waiting, we need to readdress the situation."

"Yes, master." Oliver replied, suddenly knowing exactly where he was and finding new life in his step. He marched off to his master.
