Chapter 1: Aftermath of the Outbreak

A man with short blond hair and blue eyes stand in the loft he shared with his sister in Starling City with a scowl on his handsome face. He wore a black tee shirt dark jeans and black tennis shoes. His name was Oliver Queen, the Starling Vigilante known as the man in the Hood, The Hood, and The Arrow.

He was just rejected by his close friends John Diggle, Felicity Smoak, Laurel Lance for his plan with Malcolm Merlyn to kill Ra's al Ghul.

"Thea understood my plan unlike my so called friends" thought Oliver darkly.

On the couch was Shado's and Yao Fei's green Carbon Fiber Long Bow, Slade's Katana, his box from Lian Yu filled with Herbs, Russian Vodka, his customized crossbow, Eskrima Sticks, Yao Fei's green cloth hood, and his flechettes. Leaning on toping his case was a Black League of Assassins Recurve Bow, a Chinese Dao in a sheathe, a pouch filled with smoke bombs, his Customized Oneida Kestrel Compound Bow, and his green custom hunting arrows in a green quiver.

"Oliver" said Malcolm as he walked into the loft with his sister and Nyssa al Ghul, both who glared at him with pure hatred.

"Oliver I know you don't believe me when I say I see you as a son. And that I love your sister." Said Malcolm.

"Your right I don't believe you." Said Oliver coldly.

"Should I spare Malcolm and make him Ra's al Ghul, the new Demon Head, or should I kill him and make Nyssa the demon head." Thought Oliver as struggled to decide.

In his left jean pocket was a gold ring in the shape of a skull, signifying that whoever wore this was leader of the league of Assassins. And in his right jean pocket was a blade as long as his forearm, S-shaped cross guard and an inch long pyramid spike on the hilt, it was a formidable weapon; made all the more so by the skill of Oliver. It was a gift from his last Mentor while he was in Russia Talia al Ghul when he finished his training with her in record time. Oliver had lost count of the number of men he had killed with a knife, he only it was less than the number of men he had killed with a bow.

There was Nyssa daughter of Ra's, and lover of his friend and former partner Sara Lance known as The Canary. And in the league of Assassins, she is known as Ta-er al-sahfer (Arabic for the Canary), she loved Sara and helped her Survive after being raped by pirates of the Amazo.

On the other hand there was Malcolm Merlyn known as the Dark Archer and in the league of assassins, he is known as Al Sa-Her (Arabic for the magician). He went insane because of his wife Rebecca Merlyn's death and after the results that he wanted didn't happened. He came up with an insane plan known as The Undertaking to use Unidac Industries to create a device known as the Markov Device, which would create a man-made earthquake to level the Glades, who he blamed for Rebecca's death. This device ended up killing 503 people including Malcolm's own son Tommy Merlyn.

"Sorry Tommy, but he's caused too much pain and caused our sister to become a killer," thought Oliver as he reached his decision on the matter. "I can't let him live he might hurt people again."

Oliver's time with Ra's and in the league of Assassins, helped him find his conviction and discover that he would always be the killer that was forged on Lian Yu.

"Oliver I held up my end of the bargain, how about you hold up your end." Said Malcolm smugly as he was about to gain control of the league of assassins and become Ra's al Ghul. He was going to have a lot of power and men at his disposal.

Oliver's glare at Malcolm tighten as he could sense his lust for power that he would get as Ra's al ghul, making Oliver's decision to make Nyssa the new Ra's al Ghul more appealing by the minute. He was renouncing the vow he made to Tommy's grave to not kill unless absolutely, justly unavoidable, because that was a naive vow due to being influenced by the people in his life.

Oliver's face turned emotionless as a dark smirk appeared on his face, his plan started now. He calmly reached for Talia's gift and pulled on the blade, surprising Malcolm with the frightening blade.

"Oliver whats with the blade." said Malcolm starting to get concerned about Oliver's plan. Oliver quickly strikes out with his armed right arm as he cut up Malcolm's throat causing crimson liquid known as blood to splat on his face due to close contact. Thea gasped in shock as a look of dark pleasure appeared on Nyssa's face. Malcolm face was full of betrayal and shock as he died choking on his own blood, his corpse fell to the floor of the loft with Oliver removing his blade.

"That was for Tommy, my father, and Sara. You bastard!" spat Oliver glaring at the corpse.

"Ollie why kill Malcolm?" Thea demanded.

"He deserved to die you know that" Oliver stated calmly, which made her nod in understanding.

"Nyssa"

Oliver got her attention as he pulled out the Demon's ring, causing her vision to sharpen.

"Nyssa you are now Ra's al Ghul one one condition that we are allies and I'm aloud to use your resources and men when ever I please." Oliver stated his conditions shocking her as she nods.

Oliver put the ring on Nyssa, signifying her Ascension as Ra's al Ghul.

"Thank you Oliver. I will honor our agreement." said Nyssa as she left to leave Starling City with the league of Assassins.

Thea yawned as tonight's events left her exhausted as she was really tired, so was Oliver. "Speedy lets get some sleep" said Oliver.

"Yeah"

Oliver and Thea went upstairs to their rooms in the loft to get some sleep from todays exhausting events.

Oliver planed to get his Brava contact back tomorrow and then leave Starling City to never again return if he had to. He would never contact Felicity, John, and Laurel or see as friend ever again.
