Green Arrow: Fight For The Amazon Part 3

March 23rd, 2016

Oliver and the others arrived outside of a large island filled with trees and what looked like ancient ruins. Oliver could hear birds chirping and all types of other animals. He looked in the sky and saw smoke rising and it was a light grey color.

"The plane crashed over there. That, or someone else is here." Arrow said as the five soldiers stepped onto the island. They wore camouflage and held AK-47's and had backpacks with them filled with supplies.

"Why did the government wait so long to search for this guy?" Red Arrow asked.

"We didn't know he was gone. You see two planes crashed during the freak storm, and we hadn't realized it." An army officer said.

"I'm sorry but what are your names again?" Cyborg asked as Red Arrow walked over to a sign that was partially covered up by sand.

"Luke Fox." the first one said. "My father is Lucius Fox who works at Wayne Enterprises."

"And you?" Cyborg asked looking at another soldier. Red Arrow had uncovered the sign now and read it in his head. He immediately dropped and ran over to The Arrow as the second soldier spoke.

"Slade Wilson, at your service." The second one said with a smile.

"Slade Wilson?" Arrow asked.

"Yeah. Who's asking?" Slade asked back.

"Nothing. It just sounds familiar." Arrow said. When he looked at Red Arrow, spears came flying out of the trees and bushes hitting the three unnamed soldiers in the chest, back, and head.

"What was that?" Luke yelled.

"The sign said No Trespassing!" Red Arrow said.

"Get back to the boat!" Slade yelled out.

"No we head to the fire to rescue your man!" Oliver ordered back.

"You do what you want. But in war, we retreat when we don't have the upper hand." Slade said. He ran back to the boat and was followed by Luke as Oliver began sprinting for the smoke as more spears came out of the bushes. Cyborg and Red Arrow followed him as they ran through small puddles of water and sand only to see that the woods continued to extend all over the island.

"The smoke's starting to disappear." Cyborg said as the three came to a halt. Red Arrow looked back and saw that the boat wasn't leaving but Slade and Luke had gone inside it.

"Keep moving to the smoke. We are finding that soldier." Arrow said, taking off his hood and heading into the trees.

"When he's given a mission he doesn't stop does he?" Victor asked.

"Not until he wins." Roy said, also removing his hood. The two followed Oliver into the forest as the spears stopped and an eerie quietness overcame the island.


Later on in the day, Oliver, Roy, and Victor arrived at the dying fire to see that no one was there. What was there was a pile of branches and leaves nearly burnt to a crisp and an animal was roasting over the fire.

"Whoever was here is gone now." Oliver said.

"Nice detective work Sherlock." Victor said. Oliver shot him a look and Victor' eyes went wide. "My bad."

"No tracks." Roy said, kneeling at a large log that must have been used as a seat.

"Maybe they covered them" Oliver said. He looked around and saw columns with moss growing on them around the area. A rustling in the bushes was heard and Roy quickly turned his head in the direction of the noise.

"Everyone quiet." Roy said in a hushed tone. Oliver slowly pulled an arrow out of his quiver and began to pull it back on his bow when a dozen women with swords and shields walked out of the bushes.

"It's heaven on Earth." Victor said, basically drooling. Oliver aimed his arrow at one of the women who held a bow and arrow as well.

"Lay down your weapons!" One yelled at them.

"Men are not welcome here!" Another shouted.

"Do as we say or die!" A third demanded. Oliver put his arrow back in his quiver and dropped his bow as the warriors surrounded the three. One slammed their shield into the side of Victor's face, knocking him out. Roy pulled two halves of a bo-staff out of tiny pockets on his leg and swung them at one warrior. The warrior blocked it with their sword and kicked him to the ground. Oliver quickly kicked his bow up to him and fired an arrow at the only woman with a helmet, hitting her in the shoulder. He was immediately hit in the back of the head with the butt of a sword as everything went black.

"Bring them to the Queen. She'll want to speak with them." One warrior said as Oliver, Roy, and Victor were dragged off towards a large structure made out of marble.
