"They killed Bratva?" Oliver demanded as Anatoly explained everything to him. "Why?"

"Because I turned my back on the Ninth Circle, they were Dragon's associates too. He wanted revenge." Anatoly explained.

Oliver sighed. "I'm sorry. I should have…"

"This was not your fault, Oliver." Anatoly assured him. "I was the one foolish enough to trust them."

"Let's just say we're both to blame, alright?" Oliver said as he and Anatoly smiled.

"We need to get to safety before more Dragon's men come after us." Jason said.

They drove down the street, unrecognized as Anatoly accompanied them all to a Bratva hideout.

"Here. We'll be safe." Anatoly said. They got some rest as Anatoly sighed. "I wanted to come looking for you but I was too late. Oliver, you need to know…"

"They framed Tommy for a terrorist attack, we know." Oliver nodded.

"I'm so sorry." Tommy said.

"No." Anatoly shook his head. "I'm the one, who should be sorry. My pride and need to show I'm strong was bigger than my honor. I never should have reached out to the Circle."

"What are the Longbow Hunters up to?" Oliver wondered.

"They want to see everything you know, burn." Anatoly said. "I overheard them."

"The gas facility in the Sabine Pass, it could've blown up Gotham, Bludhaven and Star City." Oliver realized.

"And now they wanted to destroy Bratva." Tommy concluded as Anatoly nodded.

"I've been watching you." Anatoly said. "Oliver, they are very dangerous."

"We know that. They killed John." Oliver said grimly and Anatoly paled before looking at Oliver in sympathy.

"I'm sorry. He was a good man." Anatoly said.

"Do you know anything that can help us find them?" Slade asked. "Did you overhear anything?"

"Maybe. It was… deathly silent." Anatoly said.

"Silencer." Oliver realized as Anatoly and Tommy nodded.

"The Longbow Hunters. They killed them all." Anatoly said.

"How are we going to stop them? What are they up to?" Oliver asked.

"I don't know. But I think we need to go back to the U.S. I overheard them saying that they needed to finish something in Star City. If I can, I will help you." Anatoly promised.

Star City

"It's time for the city to burn." Dragon said. "They rejected me. Now I'm going to make them pay."

City Hall

Thea entered, panicking as Quentin turned on the news on TV. It was an army of mercenaries and ninjas destroying everything they saw and killing everyone on sight as civilians ran in panic as the army was being led by Richard Dragon and the Longbow Hunters, at their side Jade Nguyen, Saracon, Lacroix, Joe, Nylander and the Thanatos Guild with the Jackals.

"Oh, my God…" Thea said, horrified.

"We're gonna need hell of a help." Quentin said. "Where's Oliver?"

Elsewhere

In the plane, Oliver and Tommy looked at each other, smiling.

"Are you happy? With Rachel?" Oliver asked as Tommy considered.

"I'm angry she lied to me but I understand why. And no matter the circumstances, her feelings to me were real but honestly…" Tommy sighed. "I guess too much has happened for me to find out if… we can really be happy. Like you and Laurel. You have a daughter."

"We're trying. We've been in tough spots before and we're trying to make it work." Oliver said. "I know that you can find a way to be happy. Are you still mad at her?"

"Not anymore." Tommy said. "But… honestly, I'm not sure if I can be with her. I mean… too much has happened."

"I get that." Oliver said. "Maybe you'll find a way to see it through. I myself don't know if I want to do this anymore. All I wanted was to…"

"Finally settle down." Tommy said. "There was a time I thought I could have it with Laurel but…"

"We both know I was the first choice for her." Oliver said. "I'm sorry about how…"

"It's not your fault. I think it's time we stopped blaming ourselves for our past mistakes. And find a way to move on." Tommy said.

"There's nothing I'd want more." Oliver said as he and Tommy shook hands. "Brothers?"

"Brothers."

"No matter what happens, you'll always be my family, Tommy. Just like Thea, John, Henry, everyone else." Oliver said before they turned their attention to the news.

"What the…"

Star City

"This is not good, it's too many of them!" Mr. Terrific said as he and Wild Dog were trying to shoot down the drones who were spreading poison, until Arsenal and Speedy shot them down.

In another part of Star City, the Longbow Hunters, the Thanatos Guild and the Jackals were shooting down civilians and policemen trying to stop them.

Red fired three darts that shot the policemen as foam formed in their mouths as they spasmed and fell down as Joe, Athena and Lacroix shot down the policemen as well, while Bear and Jade sliced through them.

The combined armies of the Thanatos Guild and the Jackals overpowered the policemen as they were forced to retreat.

The Lair

"It's too many of them, we'll never be able to stop them on our own." Dinah cursed.

"We're gonna need hell of a backup." Curtis said.

Star City

Oliver, Nyssa, Slade, Shado, Tommy and Jason entered a building as Oliver and Tommy shot down four of the mercenaries, while Nyssa and Slade pulled out their swords, engaging the mercenaries as well as Nyssa dodged, while one of them rushed at her before she cut him in his leg and punched him, knocking him out.

Slade grabbed another one by his arm and threw him down before stabbing him in the chest.

Jason dodged and kicked another mercenary in the leg as he fell down before Jason grabbed him with his arm and snapped his neck.

Shado rolled back as two of them attacked with their swords before she hit them with her bow, furiously beating them up until they were knocked out.

"Looks like we're too late."

"Impressive entrée." Dragon said over the radio. "But it's pointless."

"Dragon…" Oliver growled.

"What are you playing at?" Tommy demanded.

"I want you to die, knowing that you have failed your own city. You took everything I wanted, away from me. I'm going to take away everything you love." Dragon vowed.

A.R.G.U.S.

"What the…" Henry whispered as he and Sara saw the news. "We gotta go."

"No. You're not going anywhere." Sara ordered as she held Henry back.

"Sara, it's my city too, I'm not gonna stand by and watch it…"

"Stop being a hero, Henry!" Sara snapped. "It's not just you protecting it! All of them too. I can help but I need you to stay here, OK? Besides, you can't help with only one arm." She pointed out as she tapped Henry's arm in the cast. "Please. For once, stop being a hero and let it go. Me and Ollie and the others got this. Send A.R.G.U.S. if you have to but leave it alone."

Henry glared and sighed. "Fine. Just… be careful. Please."

Sara nodded as she kissed him. "Always."

She left as Henry stared. "Why her of all people? Why did I have to get an ex-assassin?"

Star City

Black Canary, Shiva, Batgirl, Nightwing, Huntress and Katana were in another part of the city as the guild assassins rushed at them. Shiva jumped back as they attacked with their weapons, while Nightwing and Black Canary blocked with their batons before they pushed the assassins back.

Shiva jumped and kicked three of the assassins back before she grabbed one of them by his arm and broke it before she hit him in the throat as he choked out and fell down. Shiva then sent barrages of fists to the two assassins as they coughed out blood and fell down with broken ribs.

Katana dodged and blocked as two assassins attacked, one with a spear and one with a sword. Katana rolled down and spun around, slicing them both down.

Black Canary, Nightwing and Batgirl blocked with their batons as the remaining assassins attacked until Huntress shot some of them down.

Pike and the SCPD was trying to hold back the Jackals and the assassins but were overpowered until Nyssa and her League appeared, helping them fend them off.

"OK, which ninjas are on our side?" Malone wondered.

"Just don't shoot at the ones not trying to kill us!" Pike ordered.

"We need to spread out and contain the chaos!" Oliver ordered as Rene and Curtis entered one car, Dinah and Felicity entered another, while he, Slade and Roy entered another. "Felicity, patch us in to the SCPD band, so that we can find out which threats to eliminate!"

"Got it!" Felicity said.

"Send the bird." Joe ordered over the radio. "Take them out."

One of the Jackals was in a van, pulling a lever as a drone flew in the air.

Felicity looked behind as she widened her eyes. "Dinah, watch out!"

"What?" Dinah demanded before she saw in a mirror the drone flying towards them. "Oh, no!"

The drone fired from its machine gun as Dinah drove below a truck carrying concrete pipes, barely avoiding the gunfire.

"Oh, my God! Five years ago, an army of Ghosts and a sorcerer! Then a maniac with a dragon tattoo a group of terrorists, then crazy cult of magicians and assassins worshiping an ancient demon, now mercenaries, assassins and drones?!" Felicity snapped.

"As John would say, our lives were somewhat normal before Barry showed up!" Dinah quipped.

The drone shot at the truck as the pipes fell down and Dinah hit the gas. "If I had my Cry, I could've taken it out!"

"Oliver, there are some mercenaries on Marc's and Percy's, trying to kill some hostages." Felicity said.

"On it."

The mercenaries rounded up some civilians on the ground floor, about to execute them as one of them pulled out an explosive and pressed a trigger it as countdown started until Green Arrow ziplined in and shot the mercenary down. The other mercenaries fired with their rifles as Green Arrow took cover behind a table and fired an explosive arrow, sending them flying away. Green Arrow rushed at another mercenary and hit him in the face with his bow before kicking him in the chest as the mercenary fell over the railing down on the ground floor.

"Everyone, get out of here!" Green Arrow ordered as another mercenary grabbed him from behind. Green Arrow jumped at the railing and flipped back over the mercenary's shoulder, using him as a human shield until he heard the beeping going faster and faster as he realized that the explosive was about to go off as he ran out, firing a grapnel arrow and rappelling down as the explosive went off, killing the mercenary shooting at him but luckily, the civilians were safe as Green Arrow rappelled down on the ground.

Wild Dog, Anatoly and Red Hood took cover as they and some policemen and A.R.G.U.S. agents and an army were on the street, shooting back at the guild assassins and the Jackals before Nyssa and Shado shot the remaining enemies down.

"We gotta shake that thing!" Felicity cried out as she and Dinah were trying to lose the drone chasing them as it was aiming a missile at them.

Suddenly, from a bridge above that they passed by, fell down an A.R.G.U.S. truck as it crushed the drone as Dinah stopped the car. Henry and Mia with her red hood and her bow and quiver went out, groaning as Felicity laughed.

"You stubborn son of a bitch." Dinah smirked as Henry pulled out his gun and shot off the camera off the drone.

"Sir, we have a problem, someone double-tapped our drone." One of the mercenaries told Joe over the radio as he snarled, enraged.

"Hey, Henry. Did you bring the cavalry?" Felicity asked, hopeful.

"Just wait. Cavalry's gonna come soon." Henry smiled as he and Red Arrow entered as Dinah drove away.

Black Canary was in a car park before she faced off with an assassin with two swords as she pulled out her batons. They rushed at each other as their weapons clashed.

Black Canary blocked the assassin's blades with her batons and jumped back before she headbutted the assassin and hit him in the chest and the leg as the assassin fell down. The assassin rolled away as Black Canary tried to finish him off before she blocked his blades again and dodged as the assassin scratched her neck. As Black Canary's and the assassin's weapons clashed, they were knocked away before they traded blows.

The assassin kicked Laurel in the chest as Laurel staggered. Laurel dodged a punch but the assassin threw her against a car as the front window crashed. As the assassin neared her, Laurel grabbed him and slammed him against the hood of the car and kicked him in the face before she got up, deciding to use techniques Shiva had taught her.

Laurel dodged the punch and grabbed the assassin by his arm and twisted as bones cracked before she kicked the assassin in the leg, causing for him to kneel. Laurel spun around and hit the assassin in the face with her elbow as he staggered. Laurel knocked the assassin down and did a powerful kick to his face, sending him flying away before she jumped at him and finished him off by hitting him in the neck, paralyzing him.

Three more assassins appeared behind her Laurel realized she was in a disadvantage before she heard a roar and to her surprise, Ben Turner appeared, slicing through two assassins with his claws as she looked shocked to see him as Sara engaged another assassin before she blocked his swords with her batons. Sara quickly got behind the assassin and snapped his neck.

"You?"

"I owed Merlyn one. I figured I should repay the favor." Turner shrugged.

Laurel looked hesitant to believe him before she nodded. "Thanks."

"You're welcome, sis." Sara chuckled.

In another part, Wild Dog, Anatoly, Arsenal, Speedy and Mr. Terrific looked around until they noticed that there was deadly silence. Realizing what happened, Speedy turned around as Silencer rushed at her and they fell down the stairs.

Silencer pushed Speedy into a storage area before Speedy pushed her back with her bow. Silencer kicked Speedy back and knocked her down.

Speedy barely blocked Silencer's kick before she threw punches at her face. She managed to land two strikes but Silencer blocked and dodged the following ones before she did a cartwheel and kicked Speedy in her face as she fell down. Speedy got up and used her bow to block as Silencer attempted to stab her with her knife.

Speedy threw away their weapons before she grabbed a wooden beam and hit Silencer in her stomach. Silencer grabbed Speedy and slammed her to the ground. She grabbed her knife and was about to finish Speedy off.

"Say "goodbye", bitch."

Suddenly, she was knocked away with a sonic scream, a Siren Cry as Speedy covered her ears, while Silencer was sent flying against an empty elevator shaft. The impact broke her bones as she hit the wall before she fell to her demise as they heard loud 'crash'.

Speedy looked in shock to see who was her savior.

"Goodbye, bitch." Black Siren sneered as Speedy laughed.

Mr. Terrific, Wild Dog, Anatoly and Red Hood took cover as Red fired from her darts as they barely avoided the explosions.

"I can do this all day." Red smirked.

Red Hood then noticed a gas tank as he fired at it, sending it flying against Red as she dodged but was knocked down as the explosion destroyed the wall behind her. Red then saw them nearing her as she jumped out of the window. They looked out but were unable to find her.

"Good riddance." Mr. Terrific said.

Oliver, Tommy and Slade fended off their enemies until they saw some giant muscular behemoths walking down the city, destroying everything they saw.

"Bane?" Oliver asked.

"Or something Dragon empowered." Tommy said.

"How are we gonna stop them?" Slade wondered.

Suddenly, a black car appeared as it shot some missiles, knocking the Titans down as from the car went out Batman.

Then, Wonder Woman and Artemis and Donna Troy appeared with Green Lantern as the Amazons were equally matched to the brute's strength and Green Lantern used the powers from his ring to fend the monsters off. Aquaman then appeared, summoning a small tidal wave, washing away some of the mercenaries and the Jackals as Cyborg flew over them with Superman and Supergirl, destroying the military cars as the Flash and Kid Flash knocked out the remaining soldiers in superspeed, while Lisa used her gold gun to stop the remaining military cars and Red Robin, Spoiler and Black Bat attacked the mercenaries too.

Red and Bear attempted to attack them but Cyborg fired a missile that destroyed Bear's shield as he fell down, burned. Red fired a dart but Wonder Woman blocked with her sword as it flew back, hitting Red in her throat as she fell down, dead before Nylander surrendered.

"Looks like the Justice League is here to help." Tommy said.

"And the Outsiders too."

Then, they saw a pyre on the rooftop of one of the skyscrapers.

Oliver, Roy, Shado, Nyssa, Slade and Tommy went on the rooftop as Rachel was in restraints as across them was Dragon, Jade, Joe, Lacroix and Saracon.

"You've won." Dragon said. "I may not have been able to destroy the city you love. But I can make sure you'll watch the woman you care about, die."

"You never knew what was love." Rachel sneered at Dragon. "I was an idiot to believe you. You really thought I would've wanted innocent dead and power and blood money?"

"You've always seen me as a loser!"

"No. I always saw you as too obsessed with ideas, rather than reality." Rachel sneered.

"You should have killed me, when you had the chance." Dragon said as Tommy and Oliver glared.

"I am going to kill you. For what you've done to our families and our friends." Oliver growled.

"You and us. Here. Now." Saracon said as he and Joe pulled out their swords, while Oliver threw away his bow and Tommy and Slade pulled out his swords too as the two groups rushed at each other.

Oliver dodged Dragon's punch and hit him in the face as Dragon staggered back. Dragon blocked as Oliver tried to punch him in the chest as Dragon kicked him back. Dragon did a roundhouse kick that Oliver narrowly dodged before he kicked Dragon in the leg as Dragon fell down. Dragon got up and kicked Oliver in the chest as he staggered back.

Tommy and Saracon clashed with their swords. Tommy jumped back, dodging Saracon's attack. "It doesn't have to be this way! We're not like our father!"

"You made it so! You took my revenge from me, when you killed Malcolm Merlyn! It should have been me! You're going to pay for it!" Saracon yelled angrily.

Saracon kicked Tommy back and Tommy dodged as the blade scratched his neck. Tommy hit Saracon in the face with the hilt of his sword and Saracon staggered back. Tommy aimed for his head as Saracon blocked. Saracon spun around, trying to slice Tommy before Nyssa blocked Saracon's sword with her own and kicked him back.

"Don't do this, brother." Nyssa pleaded.

"I have to! You made it so!" Saracon snapped as he attacked, scratching Tommy in the chest as he hissed but as he tried to deliver a killing blow, Tommy did a powerful swing with his sword as they lost their weapons in the process.

Roy blocked with his batons as Jade attacked with her sais. Roy kicked Jade back and she replied by trying to stab him in the chest. Roy blocked with his metal arm as Jade's sais were jammed onto it. Roy pulled his arm, disarming her before Roy grabbed her by her throat and slammed her to the ground, knocking her out.

Shado fired an arrow as Lacroix jumped back to avoid it before she blocked Lacroix's shot with her bow. They rushed at each other, swinging their bows and fencing with them. Lacroix kicked Shado in the leg as she fell down. Lacroix was about to stab her with his arrow before she rolled away and kicked him, knocking him out.

Slade dodged as Joe tried to strike him. "This anger needs to end, Joe!"

"Yes, it will end, with your death!" Joe snarled.

Slade blocked as Joe tried to stab him in the eyehole and pushed him back before cutting him in the knee.

Oliver crouched as Dragon tried to kick him in the head and grabbed him but Dragon rolled back to shake Oliver off. Oliver dodged Dragon's kick before Dragon grabbed Oliver by his arm and threw him away. Oliver dodged Dragon's kick before blocking his punch. Oliver hit Dragon in the hip and headbutted him as Dragon staggered back.

"You never knew what was love. You were too obsessed with power and darkness and you had no idea what you were really fighting for." Oliver said as Dragon glared.

"That's why we always beat you. Because you have no conviction. You're just a fool chasing clouds." Rachel taunted.

Dragon roared as he rushed at Oliver but Oliver dodged, grabbing Dragon by his jacket and kicking him in the chest, hard. Oliver blocked Dragon's punch and grabbed his arm, breaking it before he kicked Dragon hard in the leg as Dragon fell down.

Slade pointed his sword at Joe, contemplating. "Do it." Joe said. "Do it!"

Slade considered before he slugged Joe, knocking him out.

Oliver and Tommy were now fighting Dragon and Saracon in hand-to-hand combat as Nyssa stepped back, deciding this was their fight.

Oliver and Tommy were back to back as Oliver dodged Dragon's punch and Tommy grabbed his arm, throwing Dragon at Saracon as they both fell down. Both of them got up as Oliver and Tommy rushed at them again.

Tommy dodged Saracon's kick and hit him in the face before Tommy sent a flurry of punches at Saracon's chest as Saracon coughed out blood. Saracon rushed at Tommy but Tommy grabbed Saracon and slammed him to a nearby pillar. Tommy grabbed Saracon's face and slammed it three times against the pillar as Saracon was dazed before Tommy punched him in the face again, knocking him out.

Oliver blocked Dragon's punch and sent a powerful kick to Dragon's chest as he fell down, with Oliver, Tommy, Rachel, Roy and Slade facing him as Dragon glared.

"Do it. Kill me… and you'll prove that you're nothing but monsters. That you're just like me."

"No. We'd kill you because you needed to be killed. We're no monsters." Oliver said as Rachel pulled out a gun and aimed it at Dragon as the smile vanished off his face, his satisfaction, his only victory left… gone.

"I wish I had seen through you earlier. I hope you burn in hell forever."

She pulled the trigger and shot Dragon in the head as Dragon slumped back and fell off the building.

"We better burn the body into ashes later, just to be sure he won't rise back from the dead again." Tommy said.

"I agree." Rachel nodded.

Suddenly, they all froze as Nora Darhk appeared, using her powers.

"Did you really think this ends here? When I'm done with you, I'll make you all suffer…"

Suddenly, a purple light knocked her down until she disappeared in black flash of light as in front of them appeared a blue-haired young girl.

"Hey." Rachel Roth, also known as Raven, smiled. "I thought you might need my help." She turned to Roy, who was injured as she hugged him tightly. "Thank God you're OK."

"Thanks." Roy smiled as he fondled her hair.

"You saved my life." Raven told him. "It's only fair of me to save yours."

Oliver sighed in relief. "It's over."

I hope you liked the final fight. It was inspired by my first story in the saga, The Dar(h)k War, The Avengers (2012 film), Furious 7 (2015 film), which BTW inspired me to write The Dar(h)k War, Batman: Arkham Knight video game, the Season 5, 6 and 7 finales of Arrow, Stand with Ward and Queen's stories Torn between two earths, A love of two earths and A new age for the League of Assassins, Rougher tides and Aragorn II Elessar's stories The Devil of Star City, The Devil and the Hood, The Devil Reborn and The revenge of Fisk and the Throwing Star killer

The next chapter is going to be the concluding epilogue to the story.
