I never brought the Virus to Nanda Parbat. With their resources now, I wasn't letting anyone in the League to get a hold of it, so I put it in my Fortress. I lied to Ra's about destroying it. When I came back to Nanda Parbat, I continued upgrading the League.
"Al-Sahhim, how's your mission?" hearing me suddenly came to the training room where Ollie and Sara were, they seemed surprised. After the 'graduation', we'd been calling each other with the name Ra's bestowed upon us.
"The mission that was assigned to us was in Starling, actually. The Master wanted us to take out several drug cartels there," that was a nice thing to hear. Creating the Hood persona before we went home to Starling to avoid suspicions. "And while we were there, I felt there are some rumblings going on around the city, and I can't quite put my instinct to it."
The Undertaking. And it seemed Oliver was at a crossroad with his conviction. "How about your last 'adventure', Al-Maut?" Sara asked me.
"Nothing big. Just destroying a very dangerous bio-weapon from being used in Hongkong, and killed a very evil General," Oliver and Sara sighed because I always took all of my missions very , when you have future knowledges, you tend to take things less serious.
"One day that nonchalant attitude of your would cost you your life."
Not anytime soon, bro. Not anytime soon.
Right now I was finishing Oliver's suit out of the Vibranium I had in my possession. The model was pretty much the same as in the show. I had no intention to let him go in his crusade without the proper equipment. As well as Sara's suit.
Within the suit, I installed a nanite technology which could be transformed into a bow for Oliver so he wouldn't bring his big bow on his back and increased his efficiency on using it. I didn't make the arrows cause it wouldn't worth it, the League standards issue would be just fine in killing the target.
As for Sara, I made her Canary Cry device. Adjusted to match only to her voice frequency. Her Bo staff I made for her was from Vibranium as well. I also had my suit installed with the nanite bow.
As for the League, I ain't giving them any weapons based on Krypton techs. Just personal improvements for the overall gears, but now, they could wage war against a country and came out as the winner. Especially since I got them tanks that could withstand a nuclear attack. Also I hooked them up with satellites as well as a facial recognition software, so the League could be updated following every story happening in the world. Again, I didn't give them a Helicarier. It would be too flashy, and too dangerous.

The nanite bow worked perfectly, and ready to use.
"Ready to drop in 5."
That was the pilot informing us that I would arrive in the drop spot. Yeah, I was being sent on a mission to take out Baron Reiter, the enemy in the fourth season in Lian Yu. I was in the plane that I made. Arc Reactor, repulsor techs, stealth mode, you name it. It was a S.H.I.E.L.D standard Quinjet all in all.
I was remembering how did Oliver did it in the first place. Unfortunately, he messed it up and I didn't want to. I prepared for my dropping. Apparently, Reiter got some scanner that could pick up some foreign objects that flew over the island, unless I was fast enough to overwhelm the scanner.
"Alright, I'll call you guys when I'm done," after that being said, I dropped down. I heard some faint chats among the crew like "He forgets his chute?" and the other said "He didn't need it."
I flew down faster than the speed of sound and broke the speed barrier, and when I was close enough to the ground, I lowered my speed and landed smoothly. As I landed, suddenly…
"WHO ARE YOU?!"
Great. Just landed and I was spotted. "TURN AROUND!" I complied to his command, and then as fast as humanely possible, I turned to my assailant and grabbed the rifle. Before I could strike him any further he punched my face and took out his knife.
"Alright, you don't wanna do this with me," I tried to talk some sense to him but I know it would only fall to deaf ear. He rushed towards me with his knife swung to my head. At this I released a sigh, caught the hand, twisted it against his body, snapped his elbow and then drove the knife into his neck. Killing him instantly.
I was tempted to burn the body right away, but I was thinking about my option. Burn the corpse and finding another way into Reiter's rank, or I attracted their attention and lied.
I commanded my suit to resemble a cloth that of a stranded man on this island for three years which was full of holes, dirty and ragged. I also covered my body with dirt and mud. The advantage of wearing Vibranium weaved clothing, and I had it programmed to be able to take various models. So it was an All-in-one. Pretty useful.
I dragged the corpse with me and then I found a landmine nearby a patrol. I dropped the corpse right on it and it exploded. I took cover behind a log, and I heard several footsteps running towards my direction. Good, I got their attention.
"What did you do to, Paul?!" asked one of the man.
"Hey, hey! Don't shoot! He was walking on one of the landmines. This place is full of it you know," they didn't quite believe me but that's okay. Whether I had my way or not, I would take out Reiter in the end.
"Who are you, then?" asked the second man.
"My name is Kyle Kennedy, and I am stranded on this island when my plan for vacation on boat went disastrous three years ago."
"Let's take him to Reiter. He will know what to do," and that's how easy I got myself into an audience with Baron Reiter.
We walked for a while In silence and not long, we arrived at the base. "What is this place?" I asked to gain some intel.
"Over there," they didn't answer me. Damn.
I walked into the tent that was pointed by the patrol. "Reiter, this guy says he is-" before the man could finish his sentence, Reiter cut him to it.
"Kyle Kennedy. You don't recognize him? He is a minor celebrity on the other side of the world. He was supposed to be dead," seemed like I was as famous as Oliver! Me, the heir of Kennedy, Inc. who drown on the voyage to China. I was wondering how would the world react when they found out that Oliver and I were stucked on the same island.
"Seems like you've done your homework about me. Thank you for rescuing me," I lured him slowly to reveal his operations to me by stating trivial things.
"I'm sorry, but we're not rescuing you. First thing you do once you get home to tell people what is it we're doing here," well he's not stupid I'd give him that.
"I, I don't know what you mean."
"Be that as it may. I can't send you home, not right now. Good news though, I have no reason to kill you," oh please. As if your bullets could kill me. Heck, even when you use that Kushu Idol you wouldn't stand a chance against me. I wanted to laugh right there, but I'd play along for the sake of the plot.
"What are you gonna do?" I asked him.
"Good question. You survived three years here, all alone. That requires fortitude, intelligence, qualities that I have use to me. As it happens, one of my man stepped on the landmine. How would you like his job?" well this was easy. Did he really blindly put trust to strangers?
"Alright." I shook his hand, and I started my job ASAP.
I was patrolling the 'farm' area when suddenly an old man collapsed while working. A woman (I remembered her in the show but couldn't quite put her name) then shout to the guards that he needed some waters.
"I back to work!" one of the guards yelled to the woman.
"What are you going to do when your workers are all dead from heat?"
I decided to put water on this before things escalated. "Not your concern. Like the man said, get back to work!"
After a while, things just went on without a hitch until the same woman who I just warned say something behind my back. "Like a fish to water."
"What do you mean?"
Then she told me how it felt like home to me. A billionaire kid that got shipwrecked here, busting people and giving orders. Yeah, like a spoiled brat. A very billionaire lifestyle. Out of the blue, a man ran trying to escape Reiter. How people could be so stupid about their life.
I ran to catch up with him, and tackled him down. "Hey, come on, please the easy way."
"That's the way," said one of the senior member of guards. And then he hit the runner with the back of his gun and knocked the poor man out. "That's how you do it."
As we dragged the runner, the guard talked to me. "The restraints you showed back there, bury it. Violence is the only things these losers understand. Guys out here can't handle that, they either wash out or end up doing the product. Both of which are best stretched a bullet in the head," he's very talkative about his duty, even slipped something for me.
"The products. Reiter hasn't told me a lot about it."
As he explained it to me, another guard approached. "We got a problem. Some slabs missing, the whole cake."
"I wonder if this just a misdirection. Any ideas who did this?" the other guard shook his head to the sides. "Alright, round them up!"
As soon as all the workers rounded up, the Boss began the interrogation about the thievery. I saw his method to be unsuccessful. As he killed a man and began brought another to kill, I stepped in.
"Wait. You said violence is the only thing these people respond to?" he nodded. "It's not seemed to be working," I said to him.
"What do you have in mind? Harsh language?"
"That I found three years I learned some things."
"About what?"
"Pain."
I tortured the bald man by stabbing my knife into his thigh while asking for information. "Which fancy private school you take this up in?" the guard leader asked.
"Learned it here. Three years on this island and I have been hurt everyway you can imagine. I know what kills, I know what cripples, and what just hurts," the bald man continued to scream as I twisted myv knife into his thigh.
The woman from before finally caved in and confessed. The boss guard seemed to be ready to shot another worker. Honestly, what's with these people's mind?
"Wait! You already executed a worker today. How's Reiter gonna feel about you exterminating his workforce?" if words couldn't get into his brain, I didn't know what could given the situation was just not good for me to force my way.
He still mocked me about being too soft and still hellbent on killing the woman. "Or I'l just make her disappear then? Take her to some place, they'll never find the body."
"Alright, take her."
As we walked, the woman kept trying to guilt trip me by saying I enjoyed what I did. And I began to explain my plan to her discreetly, and suddenly a landmine exploded, taking with it a bodyguard that was sent to make sure I kill the woman.
"I'm trying to put distance between us and the landmine. Look, I'm not gonna kill you, but you need to trust me or we're both dead," thankfully she understood.
I took her to the cave where Yao Fei brought me and Oliver when we first washed up on Lian Yu. I gave her some foods and water, and told her to not making any fire and not to be seen at all costs, or else they all gonna be fucked up. I assured her that they wouldn't be looking for her, and I'd go back to the camp.
She kept telling me that they would keep coming to me as each of the guards had a very strong brotherly bond to each other and said I wasn't one of them.
"Ohh don't worry about little me. Many tried to kill me before and here I am. But I'm gonna make you do a thing you probably don't like."
And I used the technique Yao Fei used to make the target 'die'. Just in case those bastards wanna have some prove.
"Who is he?" I asked as I got inside Reiter's tent and saw a man being interrogated by Reiter. Reiter punched him, slapped him and beat him but the man was being so tough just laughed it off like it was somekind of a joke.
"John Constantine. Say so right on the business card your boss took from me."
Well, I'd be damned. He looked like a doofus up close. "He had this on his person as well. Do you recognized any of these landmarks?" Reiter showed me the map he found on Constantine.
Obviously, that was the Lian Yu map, and I had this place memorized right to my bones. Also added to it that I knew exactly what he was looking for here. "Yeah."
"Good. Whatever it is Mr. Constantine is looking for, I want you to find it and bring it back to me," but one of his subordinate, Conklin I believed his name was, pointed out that Reiter shouldn't have trusted me. "And you can follow him."
As we were speaking, both of them hadn't realized that Constantine was mumbling some kind of spell with a very low voice, until Conklin noticed it. "What are you doing? Are you praying?" he said with a mockery tone in his voice.
"No. These aren't prayers, mate."
The second he said that, his hands already free from the shackles and Conklin reacted by bringing his gun in an attempt to took down Constantine only for Constantine to disarmed him and punched him out and took his gun. And then aimed it at my head.
Reiter saw the skirmish and pulled out a gun himself. "Unless you wanna redecorate your lovely hall with his brain, I suggest you put down your gun," oh please. As if a gun could do a thing. But I'll humor them just for the sake of the plot.
Constantine ordered Reiter to be on the ground as he dragged me outside as a 'hostage'. Reiter was swearing things like 'you won't escapes' and blablabla. Knowing Constantine, he kept telling him don't attempt that on him.
And then he ordered me to drive one of the jeeps and we took off to the location that Constantine had on his map.
"This is the place," then we got off from the jeep.
Constantine kept his gun on me eventhough I'd tried to convince him that I wasn't the bad guy. Not believing me and kept saying, "Many men had said the same thing, trust me. I'd better be safe than dead."
As we walked, he asked me if I knew what 'my boss' was actually doing in this island. "Ohh. I knew everything he wants to find. His 'drug' is just a cover, added to your sudden appearance, the infamous John Constantine, I'm very certain that whatever he was looking for, definitely something related to magic. Trust me, I know a lot more than I let on."
Constantine just laughed very hard when he knew I was fooling Reiter back when I was asking who Constantine was at the tent. "You are an interesting fellow. What's your name? I believe I never catch it."
"Kyle Kennedy at your service."
Finally we stopped at a place. "Surely, do your hocus pocus thingy and take what you came here for."
He picked some leaves and began his incantation of spell. As he finished, there was a gust of wind blowing past us, and a trap door appeared on the ground. "I'll go on then Alice. Down the Rabbit Hole."
"Thanks, mate. I owe you one," said Constantine.
"Okay. What the hell was that all about?"
"Ohh, this is the Orb of Horrus. It's actually a gremoire, an ancient spellbook."
After taking it with us, Constantine explained to me about Lian Yu and its magic thingy that it had. He also offered me a way off this place with him but I refused saying the other prisoners needed his help. And then, he broke the Orb from the Staff, saying Reiter only liked the sparkling things and took the Staff for himself.
"It's real power, is in the spell," he said and then chanting some weird language and put the Staff on his lower arm, on his tattoo exactly. The tattoo was disappearing from his arm to be absorbed into the Staff. After that, he transfered the tattoo to me for my safety he said. My Kryptonian gene maybe couldn't withstand magic attacks, but Kryptonian had their own sets of 'magic'. Torquasm Vo.
Right now, I was digging the prison's wall to uncover Reiter's so called prize. He bragged about the powers he would be getting if he had it in his hands. Sorry Reiter, but I wasn't planning on giving you the Idol.
"It seems we are getting closer to my prize, Mr. Kennedy. And I want you to bear witness to it."
There Reiter went on bragging his ass on the supposed prize. So far, I hadn't killed anyone, whether Reiter's men or the workers. And so far, no body hated me. Unlike in the canon, I didn't have Conklin discovering me as a mole in the first place, and I didn't kill Taiana's brother, Vlad, who Oliver killed in the canon.
And then suddenly, all the electricity went off. "Can you feel it? The energy… primordial." Okay, Reiter needed to stop his monologing for my sanity.
"What is that?" I asked.
"Destiny, Mr. Kennedy."
For Rao's sake, one more time he bragged, I'd impale my fist to his chest and say 'you're being an annoyance'. Yeah that would be good.
One of Reiter's men suddenly went crazy and began saying something we all didn't understand, like he was possessed by some sort of evil spirit. Or guardian maybe in this case. Whatever it was he was saying, it never meant good.
A man was firing his rifle at the possessed man, but to our surprise, the bullet didn't affect him at all. "Whatever it is, we need to get out of here right now!"
We began to walked towards the exit and then Reiter pointed his gun at me and the rest of the workers. "What are you doing?!" I shouted at Reiter.
"What I know since you are with me is, things tend to get very easy. As if you already know what will happen. I believe destiny have anything to do with it, Mr. Kennedy. Handle that for me."
Fuck. I was really tempted but he was out as soon as he said those words. And then my tattoo glowed. Damn Constantine, you saved me.
"You are worthy to pass," said the guardian to me. And what was weird, was the guardian just disappeared like ghost. Not that I complained as I didn't want to extend my time with something spirit related.
We explored the cave for the Kushu Idol for Reiter. After another hour or so, we found it on some 'trophy case' in the middle of the cave. "Alright, now that you find what you were looking for, you don't need me anymore."
"No. This isn't the end, Mr. Kennedy. It's the beginning," and then Reiter began telling us his story life on why he did what he did.
Had enough of it, I decided enough was enough. "How does that make you any different than the people who turned your village into ashes?"
"Very different. Let me show you," and a gun shot was heard as he killed one of the workers, and picked up the Idol and used the lifeforce it absorbed into his own power. Then he was explaining on what to do with the other workers – absorbing their life.
"You're insane, Reiter. I won't let you kill them."
I grabbed the nearest guard from me and took his rifle as I began shooting the rest of the guards. "Alright everyone, run! Follow me to the outside!" at first, they didn't really trust me because I worked for Reiter before and one of their damnation. But after seeing me shot the other guards, the others started running and I took the Idol with me. We finally reached the cave entrance at the prison.
"Wait, there are guards waiting for us. If we showed up before Reiter, they would shoot us. No questions asked. Wait here. I'll take them out, and then I'll give you the sign."
They nodded at me.
I got out of the cave and everyone had their guns on me. "Hey, hey! It's me. Reiter still in there. Apparently the guardians don't want anyone to disturb it, and hold Reiter in there." They seemed to believe me, but as all of the guards went inside the cave, I took out my knife and assassinate the most rear one. Silently.
I snucked to the second one and then I shutted his mouth first to avoid voice getting out, kicked the groin and then snapped his neck without making any noise. The rest of the team felt something was off eventually, and looked back to find me leaving two bodies.
"Traitor!" they began attacking me at the same time. Stupid them.
I dodged to the side to avoid the bullets heading to me and closing in to the rest of them. Six more of them. I pulled out my knife and my gun. Gun in my left hand, knife in the right. "Come on, let's dance."
They didn't stand a chance against me in whatever combat. Thankfully, I put on my red sun radiation wristband so I could still bleed. But nonetheless, it didn't hinder my skills at all. I shot at the two guards behind, and they dropped dead as I headshoted them. And then I blocked a kick to me and countered it with a punch that sent him down to the ground. I did a combo attack after I made the second assailant to went off balance to slam him to his teammate, knocking them both unconscious before shooting them with my gun.
In fact, I could make them dead in matter of seconds just using my gun. My aim with a gun wasn't bad at all. I could shot a person 30 feet from me while in motion in a quick-draw. Also, I never missed my target.
"Okay guys, we're clear. Get to the camp and tell everyone to leave. Bring those rifles with you, and wear those Kevlars."
"What about you?"
"I need to take Reiter out."
"Mr. Kennedy. Escaping with my prize only to come back to me with it. What is your end game here?"
"To kill you. The League of Assassins has you on our radar for some time now."
"So, you're with them. No wonder your skills with the weapons."
I shot him once. Just as I thought, he already had some powers from the Idol. "You don't seem so surprised seeing me not on the ground after you shot me right in my heart."
"There are hardly anything that could surprise me. Trust me, I've seen everything. In fact, I was just testing out."
"Interesting person you are, Mr. Kennedy."
"Well, here's your prize. Why don't we settle it like a gentlemen with honor. You got your mumbo jumbo, I got mine," my hands glow with my 'magic energy' you could say, and Reiter widened his eyes. I smirked and then I rushed at him.
I turned off the red sun radiation wristband so I could access my Kryptonian energy that I had in store, and stacked up in my body as I rarely used it. I raised my fist to punched Reiter in the face. Being the arrogant piece of shit that he was, he didn't even bother to dodge. Instead, he raised his own hand to block my fist.
What he never expected was, I wasn't a human. Maybe if he went against Constantine in close quarter combat, he would win because the Idol enhanced his physical prowess. But against me who had Kryptonian physiology, he never stood a chance.
As my fist made contact with him, he was flying to the other end. "How was that for a magic punch, huh?!"
He got up, and rushed to me again. I saw him coming from a mile away and let him punched me in the face. I wanted to know what could the magic do to Kryptonian's body. The result? Sure it hurt, but not enough to sent me flying. If the user was more adept at magic, maybe he or she could hurt me. But Reiter though, I never worried about him.
"Well, you sure packed a punch, but, don't be disappointed. You never stand a chance against me in the first place."
"W-what are you? The power of the idol was supposed to give me power surpassing the human limit. How could you still stand?!"
"Simple. I'm not human."
"What?"
And then I ran to him to punch him once again. Right now, he was smart enough to dodge and then countered me with a kick to my stomach. And the Idol's eyes were glowing, so was Reiter. It seemed that he was absorbing more power from the idol.
I realized that I shouldn't stall the fight any longer, and considered it enough data for my curiosity in Kryptonian's body and Earth's magic.
"Okay, Reiter. I've had my fun, but you'll die by my hands. I'll make it quick don't worry."
And then I bumped my fist together. The next thing happening was I shot an energy beam at Reiter. Reiter looked like he was going to piss himself, and the blast hit him square in the chest. I didn't put enough energy to pierce through his chest, but enough to gave him some last dying breath.
"What is this magic of yours?" he asked me as I came closer to him, looking down on him.
"Torquasm Vo. A magic form from my home planet." He looked shocked at me saying home planet.
"You are not from this world?"
"Kind of. Think of this as the last gift for a dying man. I'm an alien. For that, I'll grant you a display of the power never seen in this world, and give you a quick death," my eyes glowed blue as Reiter widened his eyes at my abilities.
"So beautiful."
The next thing he knew was a flash of blue hitting him straight in the chest, melting his insides as he saw his life flashed before him. I completely destroyed his body, and took the idol with me.
I ran around the island looking for the rest of Reiter's men, and killed them off. As I finished, I called the League to bring a plane big enough to brought the hostages off this island.
I gathered everyone on the shore, a military plane arrived at the island. A member of the League gave his salute to me and then I told him to bring these people to the main land and provide them with money to go home to their homes. And the plane took off an hour later.
I was thinking about what I should do with the Idol. If I destroyed it, there will be no Damien Darhk story. I could give it to A.R.G.U.S and maybe Damien Darhk could steal it from them and Season 4 wouldn't change. I changed my suit to the League standard design. The design was standard, but the specs? It was beyond this planet's own technology. Kryptonian material with nano techs. As I put on the mask and hood, a plane landed on the shore. And on its side, was the logo of A.R.G.U.S. Great just my luck.
The door of the plane was opened and reveal the Devil Incarnate herself, Amanda 'The Wall' Waller.
They approached me like I was a threat. With guns and all their craps. I raised my hands in sign I didn't wanna fight. They kept their guns aimed at me until their director to stand down. Seemed like the devil herself was being reasonable.
"To what do I owe the pleasure in getting a visit from the infamous Amanda Waller of A.R.G.U.S?" I said with my voice modulated with the voice changer.
"What is the member of the League of the Assassins doing here on this island?" she asked back. Just as I expected her to be. She was never one to being the hunted, or asked.
"The same reason as you, apparently. But you were late for a couple of hours. Baron Reiter's dead."
"How does the League know? I thought that your organization is very old school, and never thought that the Demon Head will bring the League to modern age. How's Ra's al-Ghul nowadays?
"I can say with confidence that my 'old school' organization can outclassed A.R.G.U.S anytime," I was sure that she got my message of 'don't underestimate us'. "Also, we aren't as backwater as the rest of the world think. And Master is fine."
"If you know about Reiter, do you know the item he was looking for?"
"Here. You can have it," this certainly caught all of them off guard. Even Waller. "He was looking for the Kushu Idol. An ancient relic that could give the user incredible powers at a certain prices. I'm sure even you know the consequences of using such power."
"What's your endgame, assassin? I don't think Ra's would want this thing out of his hands."
"There's no endgame. It's all yours," I said to Waller and I began to walked away.
"One more thing. Does the League know about a recent vigilante that has appeared in Starling City for several times, putting arrows in his victims body, and his victims usually a highly corrupt individuals. He is called the Hood by the people, and his appearance is very similar to that of the League," inside my mask, I smirked at that – not that Waller could see anything. It looked like Oliver had made his wave early. And that could took the suspicions aside.
"Heard of it. He's not ours," I walked away before disappearing in the woods. Once I put enough distance, I took off.
As I arrived at Nanda Parbat, I was greeted by Sara. "Al-Sahfer, where is Al-Sahhim?"
"He was sent to Russia. Apparently, a man named Konstantin Kovar is becoming a threat to the League."
I blinked my eyes, and processed what did Sara just say.
"Seriously?"
"Of course. Why do I even joke about it?"
I should sit this one out and let Oliver did his only original thing left from the canon. And in the mean time, I should head to Starling to set up the base there, hooked it up to the League and to my Fortress. Also upgrading several things like weapons and equipment in vigilantism later.
I appreciate every reviews that help me in improving my story better. Please review!
