Specter of Oliver Queen

Chapter 8

The first part of the plan was for Oliver to get captured and taken on the ship. He had to get the crew's attention somehow, so he sparked an arrow and fired it at a pile of wood, and it ignited. Once Ivo sent the men to take Oliver on the ship, they took him into a room and tied him to a chair and injected him with what was like a truth serum.

"What is the plan here Oliver? Where are Sara and your friend?" Ivo asked.

"They are already on the ship. They are in the engine room trying to sabotage the engines." Oliver said.

"Well, I will send my men down there and they will stop them." Ivo said.

What Ivo didn't know was that the remedy that Sara had given Oliver was to counteract the truth serum, so everything he had said was a lie to allow most of the men to go below deck to look for Sara and Slade while they were really riding the parachute in from the island.

"Wow, that looks like it would be fun." Tommy said.

Slade and Sara landed on the deck of the ship and Slade took out the men that were still on the deck, which caught Ivo's attention, so he left Oliver who was then able to get out of his bonds and get to where Slade and Sara were so that he could get his bow and arrow.

"Remember Ollie, if you see Ivo you need to kill him. He will twist what happened with Shado and make Slade believe that it was your fault that it happened." Sara said.

"I don't think it will come to that." Oliver said.

"Ivo is good with words, Ollie. He will make Slade believe that you chose me." Sara said.

"Ok, I will do it." Oliver said.

Oliver left Sara and went to find his way to the bridge of the ship where he knew that Ivo was going to be. Sara went to unlock all of the cages that the prisoners were in so that they could help with the escape. When Oliver got to the bridge, he took the guard out that Ivo had with him and then he aims an arrow at Ivo, but he wasn't able to release the arrow.

"Good, I am glad that he wasn't able to do it." Laurel said.

"You are going to wish he did in a second." Sara said.

"Really. Why is that?" Thea asked.

"You will see." Sara said.

"Hello Oliver, why are you aiming that arrow at me like you are going to kill me?" Ivo asked.

"Because I should kill you for what you did to Shado." Oliver said.

"But it was you who really killed her. I gave you a choice and you put yourself in front of Sara. So, you are really the one responsible for her death." Ivo said.

"That is a lie. I put myself there because I wanted you to kill me and let them live." Oliver said.

"But you do admit that you put yourself in front of Sara when I shot Shado?" Ivo asked.

"Why do you keep asking all of these questions?" Oliver asked.

"I just thought your friend would want to know." Ivo said and Oliver turned to see Slade at the door.

"Well shit, this can't be good." Diggle said.

"You are right about that." Sara said.

"Why would Slade turn on Ollie though?" Thea asked.

"Because the mirakuru warps a person's mind. It makes them go crazy in a way." Sara said.

"Is it true what he said kid?" Slade asked.

"No, I didn't choose Sara over Shado." Oliver said.
