Oliver was preparing his gear, while Anatoly neared him.

"Are you sure about this, Anatoly? You know you don't have to do this." Oliver said.

"I want to, Oliver. The Longbow Hunters killed all of my brothers. You and Matt are my only brothers I have left. I will gladly testify to help you take Chase down once and for all." Anatoly said.

"Chase is gonna count on that. He's not gonna go down without a fight." Oliver said, placing his hand on Anatoly's shoulder.


Star City

"Make sure Knyazev is not going to make it into the courthouse alive." Adrian said, facing a man in his early 30s, wielding a sword and a suit similar to Deathstroke's.

"I've been waiting to pay Oliver Queen back for a year." The man smirked, with an Australian accent, putting on the black and orange helmet and next to him was a huge man in an orange armor with a metal helmet.


Oliver, Sara, Matt and Anatoly were in an A.R.G.U.S. van, accompanied by Frank too.

"I haven't had a chance to say it, but I'm happy for you, Oliver." Anatoly said.

"Chase told me that everyone around me suffers as price for my sins and that the connections that I had, make me feel vulnerable. And I can't help but think that he's right. Shado. Slade. Taiana. Galina. Karen. And if I want to protect the people that I love, I need to be something else to protect them." Oliver said.

Anatoly laughed. "Still the sin-eater, aren't you?"

"You once told me that I was paying for my father's sins. And that someone else would pay for mine." Oliver reminded. "And…" He sighed. "I've lost my share of people."

"You need to remember that you will always have people in your life, Oliver, whether you like it or not and you will need each other for better or worse. You can't live on the island anymore. Human connections are what makes you human. If you can't see that… you'll never be really happy. No matter how many times you may try to push them away, they won't abandon you. I only wish I could be with my brothers one more time." Anatoly said, reminiscing about Bratva.

"He's right, Ollie." Sara said. "We're in this together, no matter what."

Suddenly, Matt heard something. "Get down!"

Gunshots suddenly pierced the walls of the van as they ducked.

Anatoly and Oliver peeked through the gunshot holes and Anatoly paled at seeing a man in the Deathstroke suit. "That's not possible…"

"Oh, no…" Sara whispered.

"It's Joe." Oliver realized.

Suddenly, the truck toppled as everyone groaned.

"What the hell was that?" Sara demanded.

The tall man ripped the door of the van. "Gotcha."

"Move!" Oliver ordered.

They crawled through the front window as Juggernaut tried to reach for them with his arm. "Where do you think you're going?"

"I knew Chase would try something to stop us but Juggernaut? Really?!" Sara snapped.

"And Slade's son too." Oliver said.

"That fucking prick isn't screwing around." Frank said as he took cover behind a car, while the Jackals opened fire and Oliver, Sara, Matt and Anatoly hid behind a truck. Oliver, Sara and Anatoly pulled out guns and fired back.

Oliver, Sara, Matt and Anatoly then switched covers as the Jackals looked for them with Joe. Matt jumped over a hood of a car and kicked down two Jackals. Sara grabbed the rifle of another Jackal and slammed him to the ground. Oliver rolled away as another Jackal opened fire and shot into a car instead. Oliver threw a knife, hitting the Jackal in the chest as he fell down. Danny jumped off a car and knocked down some Jackals, while Colleen slammed her Iron Fist to the ground as the shockwave knocked down more Jackals.

Frank fired from a grenade launcher, destroying one of the vans of the Jackals before Juggernaut picked a car and threw it at them.

"Look out!" Frank ordered as they dodged before the car would crush them. Frank fired another grenade that exploded at Juggernaut's chest, sending him staggering back.

"That's not gonna stop me, little man!" Juggernaut said.

"Taste of your own medicine." Joe fired from a grenade launcher too.

"Get down!" Matt ordered as they ducked but the explosion sent them flying away.

Juggernaut rushed towards them but he fell down, with webbing restraining his legs. "Hey, big guy. I think I know what can stop you. Your own feet." Spider-Man quipped.

Juggernaut sneered as he got up and rushed at Spider-Man. "You're going down, webslinger!"

Spider-Man jumped as Juggernaut ran down several cars before he hit a gas van that exploded, sending him flying back.


"This one has keys. Let's go." Oliver said.

"Are we seriously taking a cab?" Sara snapped.

"Do you have a better idea?" Oliver snapped back.

They entered the cab as Oliver hit the ignition and drove towards the courthouse, hitting the gas, until in the middle of the road they saw a woman with golden brown hair in black coat, who unleashed some kind of sonic scream and Matt groaned as he heard the sound and suddenly the cab flipped and swerved as it crashed towards the roadside.

They were all shaken up but seemed fine as they crawled out of the cab.

"Is everyone OK?" Oliver asked.

"WHAT?!" Matt yelled. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

"So Chase has a metahuman now too. Great." Sara snapped. "One with some sonic scream."

"We need to hurry. It's not too far to the courthouse, come on." Oliver said.


Spider-Man and Frank dodged as Juggernaut threw another car at them. Spider-Man disarmed some Jackals, while Frank shot down some of them as Joe opened fire. When he reloaded, Frank shot the rifle off Joe's hand as they rushed at each other and exchanged blows until Joe slammed Frank onto a hood of a truck. Frank pulled out a pistol but it didn't pierce Joe's armor. Frank managed to get a lucky shot at a seam between the plates of Joe's armor, grazing him as Joe hissed, letting Frank go

"Beat it, midget!" Juggernaut shouted. He lunged forward and Joe rolled away, while Juggernaut knocked Frank down until Spider-Man webbed him in the face. "I can't see! I can't see!"

Frank pulled out a belt of grenades and wrapped it around Juggernaut before pulling the pin and ran away. Juggernaut kept staggering on his feet until the explosion made him trip and Juggernaut fell down the steep into the waterfront as his weight was pulling him down and he struggled to stay above water. "Help! I can't swim! Help!" He then submerged until there was gurgling.

"Drinks are on me, big guy." Spider-Man quipped.

Realizing that this was a lost fight with Anatoly and Oliver and Sara getting a head-start, Joe threw a flashbang, concealing his escape as he and the Jackals retreated.


Star City Courthouse

Laurel and Foggy were looking at their watches and looked up just in time to see Oliver, Matt, Sara and Anatoly bloodied, bruised up and dirtied clothes.

"Oh, my God, are you guys OK?" Laurel asked.

"What the hell happened to you?" Foggy asked.

"We ran into some trouble but we're here. Chase knows Anatoly is gonna testify against him." Oliver explained.

"Who was that woman?" Matt asked, once his hearing had recovered.

"I don't know. But apparently, Chase has more allies than we had thought." Sara said.

Laurel turned to Anatoly to be certain this would work. "Anatoly, are you sure you can—"

"Absolutely." Anatoly nodded firmly.

"OK, once you testify, Lyla will have an A.R.G.U.S. protection detail assigned to you and they'll bring you to a safehouse." Oliver said. "I'll be here, once you finish testifying."

Anatoly smiled at Oliver. "Thank you."

"Give them hell, Anatoly." Oliver said as Anatoly entered the courtroom.

"I think we can—"

"Laurel, please, don't say it." Oliver groaned, hoping that she wouldn't jinx it.


Star City

Joe pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "We failed. Knyazev will testify against you."

"Don't worry about that. Remember, Wilson, I'm always ten steps ahead of them." Adrian said gleefully.


Star City Courthouse

"Well, Anatoly was pretty convincing. Now all we need to do is wait until the verdict comes." Laurel said.

"OK, let's hope that he gets minimal—" Foggy stopped when they noticed Matt still.

"Matt, what is it?" Oliver asked and Matt heard someone in the jury list names and addresses, much to the horror of the other jurors, realizing that Chase had managed to compromise the jury.

"The jurors. Chase got to them." Matt said, frustrated.


"I told you something like this would happen!"

"I can convene another jury, we can try again—"

"And Chase will get to them, again!"

Anatoly listened to Oliver, Matt, Sara and Laurel argue and they were all too distracted to see that he had run off.

A few moments later, Matt turned his head as he realized he didn't hear Anatoly's heartbeat. "Where did he go?"


Star City

Anatoly was outside the car shop which used to be the Bratva base of Star City, as at the desk was an empty bottle of Russian vodka as he put down his phone after sending a video message to Laurel. His instincts turned on as he turned around to face Prometheus.

"Hello, Anatoly." Prometheus said.

"Mr. Chase." Anatoly said calmly. Clearly, he had accepted his fate already.

"You could have gone into A.R.G.U.S. custody." Prometheus noted.

"I will not spend the rest of my life running from you. If you are going to kill me, I will not run from you. So if you will kill me, do it." Anatoly said as he looked into Chase's eyes.

Prometheus was silent as he observed Anatoly. Anatoly could have run, but instead he had chosen to face his death head-on, accepting it with dignity, instead of running like a coward. Anatoly, despite being a mobster, was an honorable, brave man. It made Adrian almost regret what he had to do now. Almost.

Prometheus threw a shuriken when a shadow tackled Anatoly to the ground and the weapon grazed the side of his head, almost close to the brain.

As soon as the shadow recovered, he looked at Anatoly, who had lost consciousness. "Anatoly! Anatoly!" Matt shook him as he noticed that he didn't sense Chase, realizing he had escaped.


"Thanks, Dad." Laurel hung up as she looked at Oliver. "Anatoly's alive but… he's in surgery. There's a chance he may not wake up at all."

Oliver fumed in rage as he shot up from his seat and picked his jacket.

"Ollie—" Sara started.

"No!" Oliver exploded as he whirled on his wife and sister-in-law. "I tried it your way and Anatoly paid the price for it! I'll be damned to hell before I let anyone else get hurt again!" He slammed the door behind him as Laurel and Sara could feel themselves deflate, dejected.

"We lost him now, did we?" Laurel murmured.

"Maybe it's not too late." Sara pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Hello? It's me. It's Sara. How long before you can get to Star City? I need your help."


Yup, Joe Wilson and the Jackals are on Team Prometheus too. Considering that both Joe and Chase want revenge on Oliver for killing their fathers, it makes sense. Hope you liked seeing them and Juggernaut too and I think you all know who was the woman that attacked them. Things are sure gonna get heated when we get to the finale.

Hope you liked the fight scenes.

And Anatoly survived but is in a coma, like Ray in Aragorn II Elessar's story "The revenge of Fisk and the Throwing Star Killer". Chase still got into Oliver's head to an extent and Oliver is gonna want to take him out at all cost, considering that Anatoly almost lost his life, hence why Oliver is hellbent on killing Chase.

In case you wonder how did they find out where Anatoly had gone, if you were paying attention, Anatoly did say 'I only wish I could be with my brothers one more time'. It wouldn't take much long for Oliver to put it together where had Anatoly gone.

And you'll see soon enough, who did Sara call.

So, what do you guys think?
