What the hell happening, said Oliver. Your long awaited demise, said The Shredder. Who are you, said Sara. I am the Shredder and I am here to punish the two people, that signed Laurels death warrant, said Shredder. What are you talking about, said Sara. You don't know that your father was forced to work for Damian Darhk under threat of your sister's life, if your father ever betrayed him, he will kill your sister and it was Oliver that convinced him to betray Darhk, by working undercover for team Arrow. If you should blame anyone for Laurels death, it should be Oliver, said Shredder. Then Shredder made his move towards Felicity. Then he shredded her throat open with his gauntlet. Then the Shredder started fighting Oliver. Every time you fought to protect your city, but you have always failed and you will die as a failure. I on the other hand will relish this moment for it will the day the Green Arrow falls into the Dark Abyss of Vengeance, said The Shredder. Then the Shredder wounded Oliver on the leg. Then the Shredder left Oliver in severe pain. When Oliver Queen woke up he was in the Arrow Cave and Sara punched him in the face and gave a black eye. Is it true, what the Shredder said. That you convinced my father to betray Damian Darhk, by going undercover in HIVE, asked Sara. Yes, I did. But I was blinded to reality by relationship with Felicity. And I will live with guilt knowing that cost Laurel her life. I was foolish and I will always live with guilt for that is my darkness, said Oliver. The Shredder is very powerful fighter if he can injure you Oliver, how will you be able to stop him, asked Detective Lance. I don't know, said Oliver. Then the Shredder started to gather the gangs into an organized crime syndicate. You were all gathered here to become one big crime syndicate, so we can cripple the Green Arrow and destroy the ones he cares about and put them six feet under, said the Shredder. Then the Shredder sent Karai after Roy Harper to bring him before the Shredder and have him join the Foot. To get even with Oliver for abandoning him and making everyone believe he was dead, his he joined the Foot of his own free will. Roy became a Foot Ninja. When Oliver learned that Roy joined the Foot, he was shocked and more importantly his need to kill the Shredder was increased.

The Shredder anticipated this. The Shredder was getting exactly what he wanted filling the Green Arrow's heart full of darkness. That he could never comeback from. They had no idea that the Shredder took control of what was left of HIVE. The Shredder sent the elite ninja to attack the Green Arrow's lair to attack him, but it was a distraction to remake this world in his own image. The Shredder dynasty begins a new today. As The Shredder's dark energy engulfed the city transforming it into a dark citadel. The Shredder's plan is coming fruition.

The Shredder sits in his throne room. The Shredder sent undead minions throughout Star City, to keep everyone in check so that his main adversaries to be destroyed and that his evil reign would go unchallenged. As Team Arrow was trying to come up with a plan to defeat the Shredder, So they decided to recruit their allies for an attack on the Shredder's strong hold. But the Shredder anticipated this fro Oliver.
