Legends(Green Arrow)

[Deleted]

Slade had seen Green Arrow do his thing, so to speak. His skills were impressive, definitely. He was assuredly in a league that Deathstroke would be happy to pit himself against. He watched intently from the shadows as the Arrow moved across the rooftops efficiently. Slade positioned himself on a taller building, looking down upon the Arrow's figure. Another vigilante would have to suffer at the hand of Deathstroke the Terminator. The mercenary watched as the vigilante caught his breath on the lower rooftops, his eyes narrowing. Green Arrow was just fresh from a nightly escapade. Slade would have to take advantage of this opportunity. Yet...he wanted to fight Arrow on his best terms. That would truly provide a challenge for the assassin. He waited a bit before leaping down onto the lower building, landing swiftly in a barrel roll.

Deathstroke drew his battlestaff and spun it in his hands skillfully. "Your exploits have reached my ears, archer," Deathstroke said. "It's time to test your prowess in battle," he proclaimed. The mercenary then surged forward, striking at Green Arrow with his staff. He swung the staff in a wide arc to try and catch Green Arrow off balance and gain the advantage. The battle had begun, and Deathstroke intended to emerge triumphant.

Oliver had it. It was done. All the people he had killed, beaten and bruised. It had started with the disappearance of one girl, that led to him unveiling a huge human trafficking ring that spread from Gotham to Coast City. In the tallest building, at the top floor was the penthouse of the man in charge of everything. It is there that Oliver would fight his way up, and interrogate the man, record his confession, gather the evidence, and clear his bank account to spread his millions to various charities across the globe. The plan was simple. He would travel by rooftop, and use a grappling arrow to pull himself to the roof. From there he would get the drop.

It would seem as though he would be delayed.

As Oliver ran across a rooftop, a figure suddenly leaped in front of him. The ground cracked underneath his initial landing spot, but the impact had no physical effect on him. As the figure stood up, Olivers heart skipped a beat. Before him was none other than Slade Wilson AKA Death-stroke as he was dubbed. Oliver had some history with Slade. He first encountered him on the island before Oliver began his crusade. They had fought before Oliver had any real training or field experience, in which Slade crushed him. He was only able to get rid of him using his whits, not his muscles. This time would be close to the same. He was sure his skill would surpass that of Slades. He had the miracle serum in his body that increased his speed, agility and strength, not to mention the recovery aspect. He was already missing an eye, He would shoot an arrow through his other.


"So, we meet again... Slade... I hear you've been busy"

Slade paid no attention to his comments and rushed at him with the bo staff. He swung at him in a wide arc similar to a Shaolin monk. 



Oliver bent at the knees and propelled himself back. As he flew through the air, he drew out 3 arrows. He shot all 3 of them back to back. He anticipated that Slade would use his bo staff to knock each arrow away, which is why that 3rd arrow had a new type of explosive inside the arrow. It was twice as powerful as c4, and 10 as small. The tips of the arrow had needles, that when hit, would force into the explosive, setting it off on the spot. If Slade did as he anticipated, the arrow would blow him to bits.

"Yes I have, and so have you," he said. Deathstroke immediately saw Green Arrow fire his arrows, and he managed to move to the side to prevent the arrow from impaling his eye, but it still clipped his armor on the shoulder padding. Slade was forced back a couple of steps by the arrow, but remained calm and composed. The arrow had not hit any vital body parts, and the armor had taken the brunt of the impact, preventing deep penetration. As then he seen that the final one had a explosive attached, he dived out of the way. Afterwards, Slade quickly surged at Arrow again, not giving the emerald archer any space. Slade was brutal, implementing his superhuman reflexes, speed, and strength to great effect. The mercenary was not known for losing; he was known for being extremely efficient and highly skilled, overcoming his enemies with lethal tactics and his immense strategic prowess.

The mercenary then rolled to the side, emerging in a fighting crouch. He shot three blasts of destructive orange energy from the tip of his staff at Green Arrow. "You are outmatched," he told Arrow.

He watched as Slade took the first two arrows, one landing into his shoulder pads, which stumbled him back a few steps. In the split second between all the arrows, Slade had noticed the last one tipped with an explosive, to which he rolled out of the way. The arrow landed behind him, bursting in a bright orange and yellow flame, creating a hole in the roof. This definitely would not be an easy fight, and he could take him down with a straight up arrow. He would have to come up with a plan and outsmart Slade like the first time.

After the explosion, Oliver had already took out another arrow and prepared for anything Slade might throw his way.

He yelled out to him that he was outmatched, which he was. With that drug in him, he wasn't your normal human. Everything was heightened. He needed a plan, a way to trap him that he would suspect.

There, in the distance. A huge water tower. A plan went through his mind.

Before he could react, Slade moved. He quickly shot off to the side, and went into a barrel roll. He straightened up and extended his staff and launched three balls of concentrated energy at him. These energy balls were about the size of a tennis ball. He had this one.

Oliver released the first arrow, hitting the ball, setting it off in a orange flash. He quickly drew two more arrows to counter act the other energy balls.

He needed a diversion, other wise Deathstroke would block him off. 

Oliver drew a smoke bomb arrow and shot it towards Slade's feet, setting off a big cloud of smoke. This was his chance. He ran towards the edge of the building, and jumped off in a graceful dive. He turned and shot an grappling hook arrow into the side of a building, and slung at an incredible speed towards the building with the water tower. He cut the line and went into roll on top of the building across from it. He took a zip line arrow and shot it across, wrapping around the railing of the water tower, and used his bow as a zip line to get onto the building with the over sized h20 bottle. 

He landed with a loud thud, going into a front roll. He came up on his feet and ran to the tower. He would accomplish his prep work, and await for his opponent to come to him.

Slade watched in sadistic relish as Green Arrow hit the ground, but watched as he stood and walked towards him in the cloud of smoke. Slade swung at the smoke quickly however there was nothing there. He was pissed as the smoke swarmed around him and ate him. Slade clearly had his sights for him but he didn't see him. The mercenary quickly moved forward to try and intercept Green Arrow, using his grapple gun to hit the top.

When he spotted him, Deathstroke hurled a knife towards Arrow, but it missed by a few meters due to Slade's lack of coordination. The mercenary narrowed his eyes in impatience, and paced around him. "You wanna play with smoke bombs, kid," he said, " let's play."  Slade threw down a smoke bomb. Smoke enveloped himself and expanded out towards Arrow.

"That was not wise," Slade remarked coldly. He backed away, disappearing into the shadows. He slowly gazed at Arrow, never taking his eyes off of him. And then, in the cover of the smoke, Deathstroke leaped out and swung at Arrow with his promethium sword.

As he got done setting his explosive arrows on the base of the water tower, he turned to face the vicious mercenary. He could hear the gas release from the grappling gun, as Slade came crashing down onto the roof top in front of him. What the hell were the fighting over anyways? Not like he needed a reason, still probably sore about theyre past together, but its nothing, he would lay waste to this man once and for all.

He shouted out to him about playing with smoke, which only made Oliver smile. Smoke started to release from beneath Slade, eventually concealing his entire figure and everything within Olivers vision. As the KGB agent on the island taught him, a true warrior doesn't need eyes, a great hunter relies on instinct, not vision. And deep down, that's what it boiled down to. Oliver was a hunter, and Slade was a mercenary. But being a mercenary, had someone hired him to come after Oliver, or was he doing it for himself? to settle the score. He would try to find out.

"Why are you doing this, Slade?" he yelled into the smoke. No response was met with his question

It was time to concentrate. If he got the drop on him, it could cost him his life. He closed his eyes and reached behind his satchel to grab an arrow. He drew it back on the bow string, and began to concentrate. There, to his 10 o clock, he heard the sound of Slades foot press of the ground. Oliver fired the air towards the direction, but Slade still came down, with his sword drawn into a slice. Oliver raised his bow up to counter the blade, and twisted him off to the side, using Slades own force against him to throw him to his back.

At this point the smoke began to die down, and Oliver stood before the man, looking down on him.


"That last arrow... you should have taken it with your body.."

Oliver points up to the water tower behind Deathstroke. The tip of the air was conducting electrical currents. His plan would come together now. Oliver ran off to the side of the building and jumped over the edge, going into a free fall. As he did this he pulled out the detonator to the explosives he had shot into the base of the tower, and hit the detonator.

The base legs of the water tower exploded, and the tip of the giant water jug slammed into the roof, releasing a tidal wave. However the electrical currents were their to interact with the water, literally creating a wave of electricity, coming straight towards him...
