Oliver is the New Ra's Al Ghul

Chapter 1: Aftermath

Unspecified place

Morning

Oliver opened his eyes, his vision distorted at first. Once his vision has refocused, he sat up and winced in pain. Looking down, he saw white bandages all over. Seeing the bandages, it all came flooding back to him. Ra's and him viciously fighting on the dam, stabbing Ra's in the gut, Ra's giving him the ring and telling him that he made the right choice, the SCPD shooting him, falling. The question is, where is he? "My liege, I am glad to see you are awake," Oliver looked over to see an assassin dressed in pure black walk in, a shining bow strapped tightly to his back. "Where are we? How did I get here?" Oliver demanded angrily, eyeing the assassin wearily. "The previous Ra's had a few of us keeping watch, and told us that if he died you would be the new Ra's Al Ghul," The assassin said before bowing down to him, "What are your commands, master?"

Oliver paused, thinking. He had saved the city once again. He should want to go home. To leave all this behind. But he doesn't. Why doesn't he? Like I told Ra's, I have nothing to go home to. Diggle, who once treated me like a brother, has lost all trust in me. He could see all the disgust in Laurel's eyes, Felicity claimed she loved him and maybe she did, but she didn't respect him. Even Thea, his sister, had picked to stay with Malcolm instead of him. He had no one or nothing to go back to.

Except for this. Ra's had given him resources that could help with his father's mission. He had been going against it, but now that there was nothing left, he could use it, he could accept it.

"Bring me Nyssa Al Ghul and Malcolm Merlyn," Oliver demanded.

Palmer Tech Building, Night

"What happened to Oliver!?" Thea demanded to know. "Well, he, I don't know. No one does. All we know is that he fell." Felicity replied. "Remember the proximity alarms I set up earlier? Well, they're going off crazy right now. Someone is in the building." Ray said, bending down to check again.

Crash!

"Who are you?" John asked, with his gun raised, knowing it was an assassin. "Ra's Al Ghul wants your presence immediately, Nyssa Al Ghul and Malcolm Merlyn." The assassin stood up to his full height.

Since the wording of the statement was wrong, they thought that Oliver was killed by Ra's Al Ghul. Thea starts tearing up and so does everyone else.

"Hey, it's okay Thea. We'll all miss him, but it's okay." Laurel tried to comfort Thea, but it was also for herself. "Nyssa, he'll surely kill you. And Malcolm, but I don't care much about him."

"Goodbye, my friend. It was nice knowing you." Nyssa said, looking defeated. "Let's go, he doesn't like to be kept waiting." Merlyn was ready to accept his fate. Once someone betrays Ra's, there is no going back.

Nanda Parbat

"Hurry up." The assassin that brought them there was serious like all assassins in the league were. Nyssa and Merlyn said good luck and went in. But they were shocked to see who it was inside. It was Oliver! "Oliver! You're alive! But we thought you got shot and fell." Nyssa said, shocked at what she was seeing.

"Yes, I am alive. When I fell, some assassins saved me and made me the new Ra's." Oliver replied, looking at Merlyn specifically. "We had a deal, Oliver. Give me the ring." Merlyn demands.

Suddenly, Oliver hits Merlyn several times. "This is for Thea, Sara, Diggle, Felicity, mom, dad, and me," Oliver replied coldly, killing him.

"What do I have in this plan of yours?" Nyssa asks, eyeing Oliver suspiciously. "I plan to purify this league. After your father took over, his insanity came over the league with it. It made the league unpurified, and that must be fixed. But first, we need new blood." Oliver replies, looking straight at Nyssa. "You killed my father. I wanted to be the one." Nyssa tells him. "Your father didn't exactly give me a choice." He shoots back. "Where to first?" Nyssa says, prying away from the subject.

Lian Yu

Oliver enters the Argus prison after he shoots the guard with a dart. "Hey kid, what are you doing here?" Slade asks, eyeing him. "Ever heard of the League of Assassins?" Oliver replies to him with a question of his own. "When I was working for ASIS, I heard rumors," Slade tells Oliver. "Well, it is real, and I became the leader of the league not so long ago. I want to recruit you." Oliver tells him while Slade has a surprised look on his face. "Why kid, I killed your mother and killed many more. I don't deserve a second chance." Slade tells him with a sad look in his eyes. "You do. What made you kill, was the Mirikuru. It changed how you acted and how you thought. It is not your fault. How many times will I have to tell you this?" Oliver tells him honestly, knowing that it wasn't his fault. "Kid, if you did a speech like that every day, you would be traveling around the world now making speeches to poor countries. With that, how can I refuse?" Slade says, looking at Oliver with new hope in his eyes."Let's go back to Starling, shall we?" Oliver, looking mischievous, says.

Hub City

Just another day of work in his new life had passed. Ever since poor Roy faked his death, he's been thinking of how Thea had coped with his "death". Felicity should have given the card by now, and Thea would have already come. It seems like something was going on back home. Oh well, there's nothing poor Roy could do now. Crash! "What was that?" Roy asked, looking around suspiciously until he spotted an assassin near the window. "Hey Roy, it's been a long time. Oops. I forgot to put my hood down," the mysterious assassin replies until it shows Oliver's face, "How are you Ro--Oof?"

 At that exact moment, Roy had been barreling towards Oliver and crushing with a bear hug. "From the news, everyone presumes you're dead after you got shot and fell. What happened?" Roy asked, knowing Oliver would tell him. "I was fighting Ra's, and I killed him, but I got shot by the SCPD, and next thing I know, I'm in Nanda Parbat as the new Ra's Al Ghul. Everyone presumes I'm dead and I'd like to keep it that way. Also, I need new blood for the league, so I'm recruiting some people." Oliver replies, putting all the truth in it. "When do we start?" Roy asked, finally agreeing to join. "I have a couple more friends to go, so why don't you go find one? I'll send you her location, then we'll all meet in Nanda Parbat. It's been a while, huh?"Oliver asked. "Oh, it has been a while," Roy responded.

Iron Heights

Helena faced the ceiling. She thinks, ' there is an awful lot of fighting right now'. Then, the cell door bursts open. "You're Helena, right? Well, come on. Oliver Queen wants you." Nyssa says as she tosses a crossbow towards Helena. "They'll be guards along the way," Helena says, taking the crossbow. "He says no-kill shots," Nyssa warns her. "Aww, he's no fun," Helena replies, fake pouting. "He's right. We'll make good friends," Nyssa remarks, putting a smirk on Helena's face. "Now let's get out of here," Helena says, loading her crossbow.

Kyushu

"Halt! Who goes there?" A person that has a white mask with a red dot and has a sword in their hands said. "Easy, easy. I'm a friend of Oliver's." Roy says, putting his hands up to show that he had no weapons. "Who are you?" Tatsu asks, not knowing who this stranger was. "I am Roy. Oliver sent me here to come and find you."Roy answers, hoping that she wasn't gonna kill him. "Roy. Oliver talked much about you," when Tatsu says that, her face softens, and she asks, "what does he want me for?"

"He has become the new leader of the league, and he wants you to join him. He says that when the previous Ra's had become the leader, it had become insane. Now, he wants new blood to purify the league of its insanity. So, the question is, will you join him, or not?" Roy asks. "I will," Tatsu says as she nods her head in understanding, "I'm guessing you are also a recruit?"

"Yup, I am, "Roy answers.

Nanda Parbat

"Thank you all for coming today. When the previous leader took over, his insanity came with it. And the Lazarus pit helped him keep alive for hundreds of years, but according to Nyssa, there are side effects. You eventually become insane. Now, I want you to swear that if I ever start to act insane, I want you to kill me." As soon as Oliver had announced that last part, everyone started shouting protests. "Please, I need you to swear. I don't want to become insane. I would rather die." Oliver replied honestly. 

"We pledge," everyone says, as they sigh afterward. "Now, what's our first mission?" Roy asked, eager to get started. "We'll rest first, then I'll tell you the mission. You all haven't slept that much since you got here. You'll need sleep for our first mission. Goodnight." Oliver dismissed them as he finished talking.
