Hey guys. Back with Chapter 2.

This chapter will feature some real action. The Arrow and the Jedi will take on Adam Hunt, and the Earth will finally be exposed to the power of the Jedi.

Enough chit-chat. Let's get going.

Chapter 2- The Crusade Begins

Oliver sat next to Tommy and Ella on the couch, looking into the eyes of Detective Quentin Lance.

"So, what you're saying is a guy in a green hood and some girl with some kind of laser sword came in and took out three armed kidnappers?" Lance asked, "I mean, who are they? Why would they do that?"

"I don't know," Oliver said, "Find them and you can ask."

Lance just looked at Oliver for a second, then looked at Tommy and said, "What about you? You see the hood guy and the laser sword lady?"

"I saw… Movement," Tommy said, "And a purple glow. Everything was blurry. I was kinda out of it."

"Yeah," Lance muttered. Then, he said, "It's funny, isn't it? One day back, and already somebody's gunning for you. Aren't you popular?"

"Were you able to identify the men?" Moira asked.

"Scrubbed identities. Untraceable weapons. These were pros," Lance's partner said. Lance turned to Moira and Walter and said, "Yeah. Well, they probably figured you'd pay a king's ransom to get your boy and granddaughter back, or a queen's ransom, as it were."

After a pause, he said, "After all, a parent would do anything to keep their child safe," looking at Oliver. Everyone knew what he was inferring.

"I don't find your tone appropriate detective," Moira said. "If Oliver and Ella can think of anything else, they'll be in touch," said Walter as he rose to his feet, "Thank you, gentlemen, for coming."

Lance and his partner gathered their things. As Lance stood, so did Oliver and Ella. "Your luck never seems to run out, does it?" Lance said to Oliver. The two then looked at each other for a moment. Then Lance looked at Ella, and, in an attempt to be somewhat polite to her, said, "It was nice to meet you, Ella." She nodded respectfully, an emotionless expression on her face.

Lance and his partner walked out of the room, Raisa escorting them. Oliver and Ella turned to look at Tommy, who was looking back at them.

(The next morning)

Oliver stood at a nightstand, looking at newspaper clippings about Adam Hunt with Ella. As he put one down, Oliver looked at a picture of him and Laurel.

The two of them then walked to the desk. Oliver opened his father's notebook, to a page where the name Adam Hunt sat in the middle of a page.

"You are different," said a voice. They both looked up to see Raisa standing in the doorway, holding a tray in her hands. As she walked into the room, she said, "Not like you to read a book."

As Oliver closed out of what he had up on the computer, he leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "I missed you, Raisa."

"No kitchen on the island," Raisa said with a smile. Ella grinned. That was one of the main things it was hard for her to adjust to. The incredible food here.

"No," Oliver responded with a smile, "No friends either, except for Ella." He finished by patting Ella on the arm. Ella smiled at her dad.

Oliver then stood up and moved to take the tray from Raisa. It included some of his favorites, and a big platter of mashed potatoes, which had become Ella's favorite food. "Hey. Thank you," he said to Raisa as he took the tray. He set it on the stand at the foot of his bed, then turned back to her, asking, "Do I really seem different?"

"No," said Raisa, "You're still a good boy."

"Oh, I think we both know I wasn't," Oliver said with a slight grin. "But a good heart," said Raisa. "I hope so," Oliver said.

"I want to be the person you always told me I could be," he said, then looked at Ella. "And a good father to you." Ella smiled and hugged Oliver.

Later, as Oliver and Ella walked out of the house, Oliver wearing a nice blue shirt and his jacket, and Ella wearing sweats and a T-shirt, they heard Moira call their names. They turned to look at her. She was walking towards them.

"I want to introduce you to someone," she said, pulling them towards where Walter was standing with another man.

"John Diggle," Moira introduced the man as, "He'll be accompanying you from now on."

"I don't need a babysitter," Oliver said, "And neither does Ella. We can take of ourselves."

"Darling," Walter said to Moira, "Oliver's a grown man. And if he doesn't feel he needs armed protection…" "Yes, I understand," Moira interrupted, "But this is something I need."

Ella rolled her eyes a bit, but she and Oliver grudgingly gave in.

Very soon, they were driving through town in the backseat of the car, with Mr. Diggle in the front seat.

"So," Oliver said to try and break the awkward silence that had been in the car for a bit now, "What do we call you?"

After a second's silence, Mr. Diggle said, "Diggle's good. Dig if you want."

Looking intently at Diggle, Oliver asked to clarify, "You're ex-military." "Yes, sir," Diggle responded, "105th Airborne out of Kandahar, retired. Been in the private sector a little more than 4 years now."

After a second, he continued. "I don't want there to be any confusion, Mr. and Miss Queen. My ability to keep you from harm will outweigh your comfort. Do we have an agreement?"

Diggle sat waiting for an answer for a few moments. Then, when he received none, he asked, "Sir?" There was the sudden sound of one of the doors opening and closing. He turned his head to look, and saw his two charges were no longer in the car. He quickly stopped and got out of the car. He looked around for them, but didn't see them.

A little ways away, Oliver and Ella walked down the street, holding large duffel bags. They reached the fence surrounding the closed factory. They threw the bags over the fence. Oliver took a running start, then climbed over the fence. Ella simply jumped, using the Force to help her clear the fence in one leap. They then picked up their bags, and walked towards the closed factory.

When they opened the doors, they found it was a mess inside. They walked forward, then stopped.

Oliver voice-over: The abduction was unexpected. It forced us to step up our plans. Ella voiceover: But what we told the police was true. Oliver voice-over: The man the in the hood was there. Ella voice-over: As was the girl with the laser sword.

Oliver and Ella voice-over: And they're just getting started.

Oliver smashed open a section of floor, leaving an opening into the floor below. They lowered their things through the hole with a pulley, then they jumped down, landing without breaking any bones. They then cleared the area, forming a nice alcove for them to set up shop.

They moved to set up their equipment. Once it was all set up, Oliver turned on a generator to power it all up. Oliver and Ella worked to program their computers and get them set up, then moved to something just as important.

Oliver began to sharpen the arrows he had made, while Ella began practicing with the Force, using it to lift and throw around objects.

They then moved to strength training. Oliver started using the salmon ladder he had made for himself, while Ella started using one with smaller distances between each thing that Oliver had made for her. They then did various other strength building exercises they had developed on the island.

Once they were done, Oliver took up his bow, slung a quiver of arrows over his back, and moved to face a wall. Ella released a bunch of tennis balls, which bounced towards the wall. Oliver drew an arrow, and began firing. Six he fired. When he was finished. All six of the tennis balls were pinned to the wall. Ella then stepped forward, wearing a helmet designed to block her eyes. She turned to face Oliver, igniting her lightsaber.

Oliver looked at her, then rapidly fired 4 arrows. With even moving her body, she cut each one of them in half, then used the Force to fling the fragments away. She then used the Force to pull the helmet off her head and move it through the air towards a pedestal she had made for it. She looked at her father and said, "I think we're ready."

They then walked to one of their computers, where Oliver pulled up the news. A story about Adam Hunt, and the suit against him, which was led by Laurel, was on.

Oliver voice-over: Adam Hunt- His crimes go deeper than fraud and theft, but he's been able to bully, bribe, or kill anyone who's gotten into his way.

Oliver walked to the case and pulled out his bow, as Ella twirled her lightsaber in her hands.

Oliver voice-over: He hasn't met us yet.

(Hours later, Adam Hunt's parking lot)

Adam Hunt walked out of the elevator and started walking towards his car, accompanied by an aide and guards.

He spoke to his aide. "You remind Grell, I put him on the bench. I can take him off. I will turn him into a cautionary tale."

"Yes, Mr. Hunt," the aide said. "And this attorney, Laurel Lance- You said she wasn't going to be a problem anymore. I told you to fix that situation," Hunt said.

He then stopped, turned to the aide, and said, "Why are you still here?" The aide hurried off, and Hunt resumed walking towards his car, accompanied by his guards.

There was a sudden whishing noise, and a light fixture overhead exploded in a shower of sparks. Hunt and his guards froze for a second as the lot grew darker.

There was another whooshing sound, and one the guards collapsed, an arrow in his chest. "Get in the car!" the second guard said, hurrying Hunt into the car. Once Hunt was in the car, the guard pulled out his gun and started firing wildly, hoping to flush whoever this mysterious attacker was out of hiding.

When he stopped, a voice said, "Hey, you missed."

Suddenly, the guard heard the sound of whishing cloak, and a figure dropped to the ground far ahead of him. A second later, what looked a blade made of purple light suddenly sprouted from the figure's hand.

He opened fire. But the figure swung the purple blade, and seemingly deflected the bullets. Then, as the figure started running towards him, he heard another wishing sound, and collapsed as an arrow entered his body.

In the car, Adam Hunt was starting to feel nervous, especially when he heard his second guard fall. What was going on?

Suddenly, he saw a dark figure appear outside the car door. A second later, some glowing purple thing sprang through the car door, and began moving in a circle, melting the metal as it went. When the circle was finished, the purple thing retracted, and then the door was yanked free. Then, a hand sprang into his field of view, then pulled back. As it did, he was yanked by an unseen force and sent flying out of the car.

Turning around so he could see what was going on, Hunt saw a man dressed in green, with a green hood, holding a bow, with an arrow aimed right at him. Standing next to him on the ground was what looked like a young woman, her facial features covered in a black mask. She wore a black outfit, with a black cape. In her hand, she held a metal cylinder, with a blade of purple energy sprouting from one end. He instantly decided to call it a laser sword.

"What? What?" he exclaimed, "Just-just tell me what you want."

The man in green jumped to the ground, grasped Hunt by the front of the shirt, then pulled him up. "You're gonna transfer 40 million dollars into Starling City bank account 1141 by 10 P.M. tomorrow night."

"Or what?" Hunt demanded. "Or we're going to take it, and you won't like how," said the young woman with the laser sword.

The man in green then let Hunt go, the woman deactivated her laser sword, and the two started walking away.

"If I see you again, you're dead," Hunt yelled after them. The two turned around. The man in green shot an arrow through the back window of the car. The woman then reached out with her arm. The door that had been cut out suddenly lifted into the air. The woman made a throwing motion, and the door was seemingly thrown into the passenger door of the car.

Hunt turned to look at the car, trying to process what was happening. When he turned back, the two were gone. He looked around the parking lot, not sure what to think.

(The next day, Adam Hunt's building)

"The man was wearing a hood. A green hood, and he had a bow and arrow. The woman, she was dressed in black, and she had some kind of purple laser sword. And, she send my car door flying with a wave of her hand."

Hunt said this to Detective Lance and his partner. The two detectives looked at each other.

"What you don't believe me?" Hunt said. He then turned to his desk, picked up one of the man's arrows, then turned and showed it to them, saying angrily, "Those two maniacs put two of my men in the hospital."

Lance's partner, Lucas Hilton, took the arrow, then passed it to Lance, who said, "Well...thanks for your statement. We'll put out an APB on...Robin Hood and a witch with a laser sword."

Hunt looked Lance right in the eye, then said, "Hey, pal. I'm not some grocer who got taken for his register. I go to the front of the line. Now the man said they'd be here by 10:00 tonight. Make sure you're here first. You can coordinate with Mr. Drakon, my new head of security." Hunt indicated the man in question.

Hilton and Lance looked at the man, then turned back to Hunt. As Hunt walked to his chair behind his desk, Lance said, "Well...uh, thanks for your time." he and Hilton then turned walked out of the office.

"It looks like Queen and his daughter were telling the truth," Hilton said. "Yeah, well," there's a first time for everything," Lance said. As they entered the elevator, Lance said, "If this hooded guy and witch girl come looking for trouble, they'll find it."

(Queen Mansion, that evening)

Oliver and Ella walked out to the car. Oliver was wearing a suit, and Ella was wearing a dress, the first dress she had worn in a long, long time. Oliver opened the car door, and stopped. Diggle was sitting in the back seat. After a moment, he said, "Put on your seat belt, sir. Wouldn't want you to miss your party."

Oliver got in the car, followed by Ella. The strapped in, and the driver drove off, heading towards where the party was being held.

When they got the party, Ella kept real close to her dad. She had only ever been in an environment like this once, when she once stumbled into a club on Coruscant. It had slightly terrified her, since she was so young.

As they headed into the party, Oliver checked his phone. It was 9:07. They had about 50 minutes left until he'd told Adam Hunt they would come for the money.

As they descended the stairs, Tommy motioned for the DJ to stop playing music. He walked up to Oliver and shouted, "Hey, everybody. Man of the hour!"

Everyone cheered. Ella clung to her dad a little more tightly. She saw some girls shooting her envious looks. She knew what it looked like. Nobody outside the Queen Mansion, except Tommy, knew Ella was Oliver's daughter.

The song "We Are The Champions" began to play as Tommy led Oliver up onto the stage. Ella remained with Tommy, holding his hand tightly.

"Thank you very much, everybody," Oliver called out to the partygoers.

Tommy offered Oliver a shot, which he accepted. After drinking it, he shouted, "I missed tequila!" Everyone cheered, and a new song came on.

(Adam Hunt's building)

\Hunt picked up a glass and took a drink. It was 9:25. 35 minutes to go until the man said he and his companion would be there. He security personnel were preparing their weapons.

Hunt walked to Mr. Drakon. He could hear loud music. "What the h***'s going on out there?" he asked. "It's from across the street. Party for that guy that got rescued off that island- Oliver Queen."

Hunt took another drink, then turned away from the window.

(Back at the party)

Ella stood at the bar. Since she wasn't old enough to drink alchohol, the bartender had prepared a glass of root beer just for her.

She walked over to her dad and Tommy as Tommy said, "As your wingman, I highly recommend Carmen Golden."

Thinking she knew what they were talking about, she rolled her eyes. Oliver asked, "Which one is she?" "The one who looks like the chick from 'Twilight'," Tommy responded.

"What's Twilight?" Oliver and Ella both asked. "You're so better off not knowing," Tommy responded.

Oliver then turned his head, and saw Thea, with some of her friends, talking to a man. As he watched, the man slipped her something. They both smiled, then the man walked away.

"Back in a minute," Oliver said. Not wanting to get involved, Ella hung back to talk to Tommy.

They chatted about the party, Ella revealing she wasn't super comfortable in this environment. Tommy laughed at that, promising he had her back.

When she saw her dad walking away from Thea, she hurried to join him. She saw him throw something in the trash can. As she caught up with him, he bumped into someone. It was Laurel.

Ella, Oliver, and Laurel all froze for a second. "You're here," Oliver said, with a slight hint of surprise. "Tommy," Laurel clarified, "He made it clear we have too many years between us to leave things the way we left them. Is there someplace quieter we could go?"

Oliver nodded, and lead Laurel and Ella to an upper floor, away from the noise.

"I'm sorry about saying that you should have been the one who died," Laurel began, "That was wrong."

"If I could trade places with her, I would," Oliver responded. Ella wisely kept quiet.

After a few moments, Laurel stopped and said, "About Sarah. There's something that I've been afraid to ask, but I need to know."

"Ok," Oliver said.

After a moment, Laurel asked, "When she died, did she suffer?"

After a split second, he said, "No."

Laurel paused, then said, "I think about her every day." "Me, too," said Oliver.

"I guess we still have one thing in common then," Laurel said. After a pause, she said, "I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but...if you need someone to talk to about what happened to you, I'm here." She then looked at Ella and said, "The same goes for you, Ella." "Thank you, Laurel," Ella said.

Suddenly, Oliver's phone vibrated. He pulled it out. It was 10:00. Hunt hadn't transferred the money.

"Something wrong?" Laurel asked. "I asked somebody to do something. They didn't do it," Oliver responded.

Laurel looked at Oliver. Oliver waited for a second, then said, "Laurel...you always saw the best in me. Right now, that's what you're doing, looking at me, and you're wondering if that island changed me somehow, if it made me a better person. It didn't."

Laurel looked at him, confused. "Stay away from me," Oliver said, "Otherwise, I'm just gonna hurt you again, but this time, it'll be worse."

He paused for a second, then said, "Got to roll. Got 5 years of debauchery to catch up on."

Laurel looked at him for a second, then said, "You know what, Oliver? You're wrong. That island did change you. And I don't mean it just made you a father. At least now you're honest." She then walked away. Oliver stood in place, then turned and walked away. But, Ella ran after Laurel.

"Laurel," she called. Laurel stopped and turned to her. "I'm sorry, Ella. I didn't mean anything against you," she said.

"I know," said Ella, "And please, just give my dad some time. He hasn't gotten over the horror of the island yet. He needs time."

Laurel looked at Ella. "I'm not sure about that, Ella. But, if you ever need somebody, give me a call. I can tell you turned about better than Oliver."

Ella looked annoyed, but she nodded. She then turned and ran off to find her father.

She found him as he was speed-walking through the crowds. When she caught up to him, he said, "I took care of Diggle. We have to hurry." Ella quickly followed her father, ready to give Adam Hunt what he had coming.

(Adam Hunt's building)

Mr. Drakon ordered the guards to their positions. 10:00 had passed just a few minutes ago. If they were coming, those two would be arriving soon. He walked into the office and shut the doors, locking them.

He turned to Hunt and said, "It's past 10. He's never getting in here."

Hunt stared out of the window. Maybe they were just trying to scare him. He didn't see the grappling hook arrow fly in and attach to the cement just to the side of the window.

Outside the building, the police were gathered, waiting to see if the two they were looking for would try and come in the front door.

Suddenly, up in Hunt's office and the hallway outside, all the lights went out.

Then, the guards in the hallway heard the ding of the elevator. As the doors opened, an arrow flew out, striking one of the men, who went down. The others moved, but one was suddenly thrown against the wall.

Then, the man in the hood stepped out and attacked two guys. A second later, the woman came flying out, her purple laser sword springing to life in her hand. She attacked the other two guards. She cut one's gun in half with one stroke of her laser sword, then swung and cut off the other guard's hand, the one he held his gun with. He fell screaming. She then ducked a punch from the first guy, then used her power to throw him into the ceiling, knocking him out.

In the office, Hunt and the guards in there watched the door intently as the sound of the fighting stopped. They could see the glow of the woman's laser sword through the glass. Suddenly, the man smashed through the glass. The guards in the office fired at him, only to realize it was actually one of the guards from the hallway.

Then, the man in green pointed his bow through the hole and fired, killing one of the guards in the office. He then entered the office and attacked one of the other guards, quickly knocking him into the wall. He then shot an arrow towards Hunt, but it didn't hit him.

"You missed," Hunt taunted. "Really?" the man asked in surprise. Hunt got confused. Then, the second guard got back up and grabbed the man's bow. The two scuffled for a second, until the woman entered, her laser sword deactivated and hanging from her belt. She held out her hand, and the last guard froze. His hands flew to his throat, and he made choking sounds. The man in green watched as the woman slowly strangled the guard with her power.

However, as the last guard was fighting, Hunt had slipped out of his office. He called the police in front of the building and said, "They're here."

Lance heard it. He called on the radio, saying, "All units, converge! All units, converge!"

In the office, the man and woman stood as the guard slowly choked. Finally, he went limp, and the woman used her power to throw him headfirst into Adam Hunt's desk, where he lay still.

Then, the police entered the hallway, guns aimed outwards, searching for the two.

Suddenly, they appeared in the shattered glass door. All the police aimed their guns, shouting, "Lay down your weapons or we will open fire."

"Go," the woman told the man, who ran for the window. The police opened fire, but, at the same instant, the woman's laser sword materialized in her hand, its blade spring to life. At almost superhuman speed, she twirled the laser sword. The police saw little sparks of light along its length, and they realized that she was blocking their bullets with her laser sword. Meanwhile, the man in green jumped through the window and slid down a line to the building across the street.

When they realized they couldn't shoot her, they stopped. Two SWAT guys rushed her, but she raised her hand, and they were immobilized. She then made a throwing motion with her hand, and the two SWAT guys were thrown back. Lance and the others scattered. As they did, the woman ran for the window. Lance shot after her, but she blocked the bullets before jumping through the open window, sliding down the line herself.

Lance and Hilton rushed to the window, watching to where the woman was sliding to. "Tell me you saw that," Hilton said, as though he still couldn't believe it.

Lance said, "Ok. let's go, move." He hurried everyone back to the stairs.

(At the party, a few minutes later)

Everyone was enjoying the music when a police officer in full gear approached the DJ and said "Cut it."

Coming off the escalator, Lance said, "Search the building, roof to basement. Find him!"

Raising his voice, Lance shouted, "Starling City Police! The party's over, kids." People started booing as police officers started walking through the crowd.

Tommy turned around to find Lance standing right in front of him. "Oh, Mr. Merlyn. Imagine my shock at finding you here," lance said, "Did you roofie anyone special tonight, huh?"

"Detective!" came Oliver's voice. Lance and Tommy turned to see Oliver, Ella clutching his arm, approaching.

"It's a private party," Oliver said. "Yeah?" Lance said, "Well, there was an incident at Adam Hunt's building tonight. You know anything about that?"

"Who's Adam Hunt?" Oliver asked. "He's a millionaire and bottom feeder. I'm kinda surprised you two aren't friends."

"I've been out of town for...a while," Oliver said. Tommy grinned.

"Yeah," lance said, "Well he just got attacked by the guy with the hood and the girl with the laser sword, the two that saved your a** the other day." "The hood guy and the laser sword lady," Oliver said.

"You didn't find him?" he then asked inquisitively, then said, "I'm gonna offer a reward."

He turned to everyone at the party and shouted, "Hey, everybody. 2 million dollars to anybody to anybody that can find a nut bar in a green hood and a lady with a purple sword." Everyone cheered.

Oliver turned back to Lance, who walked right up to Oliver until his face was right in front of Oliver's. "Did you even try to save her?" "Ok. Let's go, partner," Hilton said, thinking that Lance was about to lose it.

"Did you even try to save my daughter?" Lance asked. "Sarah wouldn't want this," Hilton said, trying to calm him down, "Partner, let's go."

As he backed away, Lance looked at Ella and said, "You made a poor choice of a dad, kid." Then, he turned away and stalked off. Oliver then walked onto the stage and said, "It's way too quiet in here! This is a party!" With that, the party resumed.

(The next morning)

"What the h*** are you talking about?" Adam Hunt shouted into his cell phone. He walked to his desk, continuing to shout, "40 million dollars doesn't just up and vanish!" After a second, he said, "Untraceable? It's 40 million dollars! Find it!"

He sat down his chair, putting his head in his hands. "How did they do it?" he asked himself. He didn't notice the arrow that had "missed" him, still where it had stuck, and a green light blinking on its tip.

Down in their lair, Ella watched as Oliver worked on transferring the money into the accounts of those who had been swindled by Hunt. Then, Oliver opened his father's book, and crossed off the name Adam Hunt. One down. Many more to go.

And that is the end of the chapter.

Please review. That's it. I got my wisdom teeth out today, and I'm a little out of it. So I've got nothing else to say.

Raptor2216 out.
