A young man is sitting on the steps of a destroyed house. "It was a nightmare. So many dead people. So many victims. It all started a few days ago when I came here for a rave. Now all that remains is the rotting smell of death." He thinks to himself as he recalls the horrible events that he endured with his deceased friends.
Earlier that day, two young men, a redhead named Wally West and his sunglasses-wearing friend Dick Grayson, are hanging out on a dock waiting for Wally's girlfriend, Artemis Crock, and her friends, so they can go a rave being held on an island. The girls arrive, and the guys go to meet them. Artemis jumps into Wally's arms while the other girls, Zatanna Zatara (Who has a crush on Dick) and Megan Morse, introduce themselves to the guys. The 5 walked to the dock where the boat was supposed to be, but it wasn't there.
"Does anyone have one of those invitations with the map on it?" Wally asked the others while looking out on the dock. Artemis spots an invitation on the ground and picks it up while Megan hands her purse to her. "You sure this is the spot? Maybe Jaime gave you the wrong info." Wally implied to Artemis. "Yeah Hon, I'm pretty sure." Artemis confidently says while showing him the invitation. Dick grabs the invitation and states "Says here the boat doesn't leave till 5." Artemis then checks her watch and points out "Yeah and it's 5:15 now, Dick." Everyone is pissed that they missed the boat. If only they decided to go back to Happy Harbor, they'd all be alive today.
Meanwhile, at the rave, there are multiple college kids drinking, talking, and dancing to techno music. Among them is the man from before. Connor Kent, A medical student and Megan's ex-boyfriend, his best friend Kaldur, an aspiring filmmaker, and Cassie Prince, one of the dancers at the rave, who was flirting with Connor. Connor was trying his best to function as a single guy, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen.
Meanwhile, back at the dock, Dick and Wally were walking up to a boat called The Queens Gambit, hoping to charter it to take them and his friends to the island. "Hello?" Dick calls out on the seemingly deserted boat. "Yeah, what do you want?' A voice asked as a red-haired young man, wearing a red and black t-shirt, stepped out from behind the cabin lugging sea ropes. Dick was startled but managed to keep his composure and replied, "Hello there, beautiful day, isn't it?" The shipmate looked at him like he didn't hear him. "You have a hearing problem or something? I asked what you're doing here?" He asked heatedly. Dick pulled out the invitation "I'm looking to charter your boat, so I and my friends can go to this island where a party is being held on." Dick requested.
The shipmate gave him a look and replied 'Sorry, can't help you guys. This is a fishing boat, not a cruise ship. So, you can take that invitation and shove it up your—" "Roy! Enough!" Another voice cut in as a blonde haired mustached older man came down the ladder from the cabin. "How much?" The older man asked. Dick pulled out his wallet and fumbled through the cash he had. "Does 300$ sound fair?" Dick asked but the blonde haired shook his head "No, about 600$ sounds fair." He replied. "600$?" Wally cut in "No way. Forget it." The captain waived him off "Nobody asked you, Baywatch." He turned his attention back to Dick "So where are you guys going anyways?" He asked Dick. "Just this island in the San Juan, check it out." He replied while showing them the invitation.
Roy looked at it and looked at Dick "Are you crazy? They must be crazy." He told the captain. "Sorry, can't take you there.' Dick was confused "What did you say?" He asked. The captain bitterly "I said forget it!" "You mind telling me why, at least?" Dick asked. Roy rolled his eyes "Do they always have to ask why?" He inquired to the captain.
"Do you know what they call this island, son?" The captain asked Dick. Dick shrugged, and the captain responded "Isla de Muerte. Sorry, but we're not sailing there. Keep the cash, kid." The captain told Dick and he turned to back to the cabin, with Roy following behind him. "Fuck it." Dick muttered to himself before calling out "A Grand then. A half now, and a half when you get us back, sound good?" He asked The Captain, who changed his mind when he heard how much they were offering him. "You can be mighty persuasive when you want to be, Mr...?" He inclined towards Dick. "Grayson. Dick Grayson. Yourself?" "Oliver Queen." The captain introduced himself. Wally snickered "Wait, Captain Queen? So, what does that make him, First mate Rook?" He joked towards Oliver and Roy.
Oliver replied by taking a knife out of his belt and stabbed a piece of the boat between where Wally's hands were resting. "You should really stop making jokes, Kid. Let's shove off then." He said while putting his knife back into his belt. Dick and Wally waved towards the girls to come aboard while Roy ran up to Oliver. "Ollie, there is no way in hell I am going to that island. Weird shit has happened there." He angrily expressed. Oliver rolled his eyes and replied, "you're not scared, are you, Roy?" he jokingly asked. Roy stiffed and just went back to work.
Meanwhile, two uniformed Marine patrol officers came walking down the boardwalk towards Oliver's boat. One of the officers, a female, pulled out a bullhorn and started speaking "Ahoy, Captain Queen. This is Officer Lance. Prepare to be boarded." Roy heard her and started to put away all supplies in a hurry. Meanwhile, Oliver, Dick, and Megan were at the steering wheel on top of the ships cabin and Oliver Groaned when he heard the officers. Dick was confused about the officers. "what's going on?" He inquired towards Oliver. "They here to do an inspection of the ship," Oliver answered. Megan looked worried "To search for what?" She asked him. Oliver shrugged "Guns, Drugs. who knows what else? It's going to delay us, though." He answered her. A look of worry flashed over Dicks' face. "Delay us? For how long?" He inquired. Oliver shrugged "A couple hours at the most. That's if they don't find anything." He replied. Officer Lance and her First Mate, Officer John Jones, started walking towards the boat.
Dick glanced at them then said, "How much to lose them?" He asked while reaching for his wallet. "Dick!" Megan quietly scolded him. He ignored her and fumbled through his wallet looking for more cash "you can lose them, right?" Dick asked Oliver. Oliver smiled "Sure, I can." He answered confidently. Megan just scoffed and rolled her eyes while Dick handed Oliver some cash and Oliver went to the controls and pulled the ship out of the harbor, while Officer Lance and Jones went to prepare their boat, The Canary, to stop them. "Hate to break this to you, kid but I would've done it for free," Oliver told Dick once they were on their way. "She's been after me for a long time now," Oliver tells him while looking out on the sea. "You've run into her before then?" Dick asked him. Oliver threw his head back and laughed "Yep. She was really pissed when I didn't start working for Uncle Sam like she did when we left the navy. Can't really blame her for getting hot over me, huh?" He jokingly asked. Dick chuckled and looked towards the sea.
Meanwhile, back on the island, a girl and a guy slipped away from the rave to check out a secret beach that the man found. As soon as they found it, the girl dragged him down towards to go swimming. He responded by pulling him towards him and kissing her, but she wasn't easily swayed. She broke off the kiss and started to strip while walking towards the water. He followed her, but as soon as he touched the water, he jumped "Oh that's cold baby." He told her. "Oh, come on, you big wimp." She teased him while she waist deep in the water. He shook his head "No, you have a good swim babe." He told her as he sat on the beach watching her. "It's fine once you get in! Come on, Scott!" She called out to her boyfriend, who instead fell asleep.
While the girl was swimming, she noticed a lot of bubbles coming up in front of her, and she was a little scared and put her head under the water to see what it was. She didn't see anything and started swimming back to shore. When she back to shore, she noticed Scott wasn't there anymore. "Scott! Come on, Scott. Don't play games. Scott, where are you?! Scott!" She called out while grabbing her clothes and she started walking into the forest. She kept calling out for Scott for a few hours and then she came upon a clearing with a house in the center. "What is that?" She asked out loud and started to walk towards it.
She made it to the door and knocked, only to have it slowly open. "Scott?" She called as she walked inside. She was a few feet in when 'SLAM' the door closed. She jumped but kept looking for Scott. She turned a corner and found Scott just standing there in a dark corner. "Scott? You Ok?" She asked. He responded with blood oozing from his mouth and hand slowly crawling out of his chest. The girl screamed in horror at the sight and was soon surrounded by dark figures. She tried to get away, but they were all around her, the last sound to come out of her mouth was a bloodcurdling scream.
