December 23rd, 2010 Nearby the Military Facility in Chong-Mai

It'd been two days since they made land in Chong-Mai near the facility they were to hit and plenty of reconaissance had been as well. Not to mention a bit of tension between Beatriz and Oliver that at one point had resulted in him nearly choking her to death after she had decided to push things and he hadn't taken it too well. Luckily the rest of their team members had managed to pull him off her but he had gotten a few burns in the process on his arms that would probably scar, not that he particularly cared. This incident and witnessing Oliver in his element torturing a watchguard for the facility to get any information he knew had cemented in the Brazillian woman's mind that messing with the archer was not the way to go. And frankly, she was honestly frightened of the man and the sooner they were back home the better she was in being far away from him. Warren had had a word with her that Queen wasn't exactly a huge fan of women currently thanks to Chien Na Wei but wouldn't tell her why but it gave the green haired woman an idea or two that she hoped she was wrong about.

Once the 23rd hit, Warren felt they had gotten enough information to make a strike at that point and when evening fell he ordered his team to move in. Their first plan of action was to circle around the area and take out watch guards so that they couldn't alert the rest of the place to their presence. A task done by both Oliver and Warren as a means of keeping their supplies from getting too low. Once that was taken care of, O'Brian used his lock picking skills to open one of the entrances and they all quickly got inside and made sure to lock the door before hiding behind some crates before an approaching patrol could see any of them. After the patrol guards were further away, the group quickly made their way inside to a large room while ensuring they weren't seen and it'd be Franky who'd be the first to notice just where their objective was.

"They've got half the upper portion of the body already made. Good thing we're here to ensure it doesn't get finished." Said Warren quietly to the others and they nodded.

As none of them wanted to see that thing possibly be used against their homes if the Chong-Mai government decided to get ballsy enough for something like that. "And like our informant told us, this place is guarded really well." Pointed out Oliver as he looked around discretely and it made sense this part of the complex would be the most guarded area due to what they were building here.

Beatriz nearly made a cutting remark about whether or not he could handle it but thankfully managed to hold her tongue. "Us against what? Twenty of 'em? I like those kinds of odds!" Joked O'Brian with a smirk while the green haired woman merely rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm more for the odds of you making it back home O'Brian."

"Hah, what home? Waller's cell? I'll take my chances out here." The fact none of them aside from Beatriz could tell if he was joking bothered the three men.

"No talk like that! Not nice!"

The reprimand from Franky of all people made O'Brian look down in shame while mumbling an apology. After a few more minutes of observing the area, Warren got down to business and laid out the plan for what they would do. Beatriz and O'Brian would take control of the computer stations near the construction of the weapon and take what information they could before destroying the systems so that their plans would be set back for years after Warren, Oliver, and Franky went and kept the guards occupied so that they wouldn't have as much heat as they went to work. "Bullets no fun." Grumbled Franky as he and the other two began the oh so fun task of getting to their target and basically being distractions.

Oliver fired an arrow upwards that made its mark and making the target fall off the stairs and gaining the attention of his friends in the process. The three were soon across the first level while making their way through any resistance as Beatriz and O'Brian made their way to the computers and began their work after knocking out the scientists there. A voice in a foreign language was heard and alarms began to blare and the archer figured they must have finally figured out they were under attack. As the three men made their way up, Franky became something of a shield as he fought his way through the guards and took their attacks that would have killed any normal person. "Green Arrow, I need you to cover me while Franky keeps them occupied."

Stopping what he was doing, the archer found himself curious and was about to ask why the man needed him to watch out for him but soon found out the answer after the man kicked off his boots, pulled off his jacket, bulletproof vest, and shirt and began to make some sort of transformation that quite frankly freaked Oliver the Hell out. Incoming opposition however got his attention and he threw a few fletchettes their way that took them down only to see more coming his way. Oliver used a side arm he was given and quickly used it on the four coming after him since he wasn't wanting to use up more of his fletchettes and arrows just yet. As he took care of two more of the guards, he heard a howl of all things behind him and turned around to see a giant freaking wolf man! "What the f**k!?"

This s**t just got weirder. But of course it'd make sense for Werewolves of all things to exist if magic, those red skinned things, stretchy people, green flaming hands, and minotaurs were around!

The now fully transformed Warren pointed at Oliver and then pointed upwards and the former castaway got what he thought the Werewolf was trying to tell him and quickly went up the steps and took out a few more guards along the way while the team leader jumped upwards to the next level and repeated it several more times until he was able to reach where Franky was. By the time the archer got up to where they were, there was carnage everywhere as the transformed Warren had been busy going to town on the guards. A quick look down at the computer stations revealed that Beatriz and O'Brian were also in the fight of their lives and the archer was getting to see the woman use her green flames to throw fire balls when she had the chance too.

Seeing that a guard was attempting to sneak up behind her, he quickly fired off an arrow that made its mark, surprising Fire in the process. Looking up, she saw Oliver and gave him a nod of thanks and to her futher surprise he gave a nod of his own to her as well. She witnessed as he shot another arrow into another sneaky guard and repeated it again for one that was coming up behind O'Brian. Oliver then got back to business by following Franky and Warren while taking out anybody from the upper levels that he was able too and by the time he got to the level that brought him to the chest area, he was down to one last clip for his hand gun, had only the carbon rod arrows, a trick arrow that could be used for sliding down a rope across a good distance, four fletchettes, and two knives he'd yet to use. An explosion down below meant that the other two must have completed their side of things and were likely already out of the building as ordered. Making his way to the other side of the level where the chest area was, he took out any opposition his team mates might have missed or had been coming from another direction entirely.

Finally making his way to the weapon's chest area, he pulled out all three of the carbon rod arrows that each had a bomb attached to them for extra insurance to set the Chong-Mai military back even further. "Merry Christmas!" Called out the archer as he let the arrows fly right into the chest.

"Mission accomplished!" He yelled out to the two still battling team mates of the remaining opposition still left in the room since anymore was still a good distance away from the large room.

Taking out his trick arrow, he fired it down and immediately went down the rope line after it connected to a lower portion of the wall as Warren quickly jumped off the level in his transformed state while Franky ran right through a wall as the weapon began to glow. Oliver had found Beatriz on her own and she told him that O'Brian had gone in search of some reliable transportation after they had gotten out of the building. Seeing their still transformed team leader come out of the building understandably frightened the woman as she thought he was going to attack until Oliver told her who he was. Something she had trouble believing but considering the nature of her powers she figured it wasn't entirely out of the realm of possibility.

"Hey ladies! You gonna just stand there and gossip all day or what!" Came the voice of O'Brian with a cheery wave at the three.

The two made their way to him but a growl from Warren stopped them in their tracks and they turned back to see him beginning to turn back into his human form. "What the Hell?" Asked a shocked O'Brian who was told by Oliver he'd explain later.

A few minutes later the three were on the jeep Plastic Man had acquired and were off as fast as they could and it wasn't long before they came across Franky fighting off guards a few fire balls from Beatriz helped him out and the big guy quickly got in with them and they speedily made their way through a gate just in time as the facility started to go boom. "Head towards the border leading into China and don't stop until we get to the nearest city there." Ordered Warren and making everyone curious.

"You got it boss lady!" O'Brian thought of asking but figured it was best to wait and see what would happen after they got there.

For Oliver, he wondered if all assignments were like this in some way and if so, where he could sign up before shaking off the thought entirely since it would no doubt take him away from home and family despite how he'd been around them lately. Something that had to change before he lost them and his friends completely.

Two Hours Later in Dandong, China

The nearest city after getting past the border to China had been Dandong thanks to the fact it was also on the border of North Korea and the sight of Warren in his torn pants had been quite the sight for quite a few of the residents after they'd stopped at a motel to stay at. Thankfully there was a clothing shop near by and the man had been able to get some clothing with a credit card he'd had the foresight to give to Franky at one point. Afterwards, Warren told his team to rest up as he made the necessary calls to get them all home. O'Brian had cheerfully suggested they all go out for drinks despite how late it was and had Warren paid more attention, he might have been able to possibly keep Franky from having a few experiences that his parents would have preferred him not to have until he was at least thirty. Oliver had kept the hood on as he had no desire to be possibly recognized since that would lead to questions he didn't want to deal with.

As the team enjoyed themselves with plenty of food and drink courtesy of Warren's credit card, though Oliver stayed away from anything alcoholic, a very different moment was happening back at the now destroyed military facility in Chong-Mai. As top Generals and the nation's leader gathered together atop a hill to discuss what had happened. "It is no doubt that the Americans are behind this since they do not like anyone having more power then them!" Came from one particular General who despite his elderly appearance was not one to be trifled with.

The others nodded at his words. "We expected as such but they merely destroyed the decoy, nothing more." Added the nation's leader who was rather happy with the geniusness of it all for being able to fool the foreigners.

"Is the facility underneath untouched?" Asked another of the Generals.

The first General who had spoken gave the confirmation that it had been untouched thanks to the plans they made to ensure nothing would happen to their weapon. "We have successfully fooled the foreigners into believing they have destroyed our nation's weapon against them. This shall leave us free to continue to build our great weapon with them none the wiser. And once it is complete, no foreigner shall ever enter our lands again!" And perhaps the might of Chong-Mai would be felt all over the world in time. After all, it was his destiny as the leader of the great nation of Chong-Mai to see his people to true greatness.


Author's Notes: I know that realistically they would be speaking another language entirely, but since it was shown that they spoke English in the JLU episode, I figured it'd be okay to just use English for here. And in a way, this sort of helps to set up those future events for that JLU episode and or any future events for this universe of mine. Hope you guys enjoyed this story arc and as for what I have next? Well, let's just say it involves what Akio got up too while all this was going on. After that, we'll see the aftermath of the team's night of fun followed by Oliver returning home just in time for Christmas! And I for one can't wait to write the aftermath for the team's night of fun! R and R!
