Amazo was firing heat vision beams from his eyes as the metahumans scattered away in panic.
Amunet pulled magnetically metal shards to create a metal gauntlet, hitting Amazo but her fist phased right through the robot before the robot grabbed her by her throat and squeezed and there was a sound of 'crack' as Amunet fell down, dead.
A metahuman tried to use some vines to restrain Amazo to the ground but Amazo flew up and then, a dagger in shape of lightning flew through the air, draining most metahumans of their powers.
Kane and Cicada then entered with the Jackals as they started to kill off anyone they saw as the people scattered in panic.
And soon enough, a breach opened, with the Green Arrow, Deathstroke, Black Siren, Batman, Vibe, Killer Frost and Elongated Man showing up.
"That's enough! Joe, what are you doing?" Slade demanded.
"Finishing what I started!" Kane snarled.
"The metahumans are a disease that needs to be wiped out from the map." Cicada said.
"We're not gonna let you hurt anyone, ever again." Green Arrow growled.
The archer fired an arrow, while Kane blocked it with his sword as Cicada rushed at Slade with his dagger but Slade blocked it and swung his sword as Cicada dodged, hitting Slade in his chest with a punch as Slade staggered back. Cicada was stronger than it seemed.
"How are we gonna stop that?" Green Arrow looked at Amazo as Black Siren tried to use her Siren Cry but the robot was unfazed by the sonic attack before it fired heat vision beams from its eyes before one of the metahumans created an energy shield, protecting them all.
"Oliver, can you hear me?" Felicity called out.
"Yeah!" Green Arrow nodded, dodging Kane's sword.
"Listen, I went through LexCorp's blueprints of Amazo, it has a built in backdoor with a kill code that should shut it down permanently." Felicity said. "I can upload it into its mainframe and stop it but I need you to buy me some time and keep that thing busy for few minutes!"
"Somehow I think that's not gonna be a problem!" The Flash snapped as he tried to phase through Amazo and short-circuit it but it created some kind of an energy field as Caitlin fired freeze blasts, while Amazo fired some flames from its hands. It was stronger than Caitlin, so she created an ice armor around her body before grabbing Amazo and trying to crush it with her hands but Amazo threw her away as she hit a nearby booth.
Manchester held the robot down with his telekinetic powers as everyone turned to him. "Destroy that thing!" He ordered.
Every metahuman in the circus, Dinah and Laurel tried to use their powers to blast the robot but it created some kind of energy shield to protect itself.
"Almost there, almost there, almost there… got it!" Felicity cheered as Amazo shut itself down and the combined blasts made it explode.
"I drained your powers, how?!" Cicada demanded.
"Not everyone's powers come from dark matter, chap." Manchester quipped and Cicada was about to run away before Green Arrow fired a bola arrow, restraining him.
Deathstroke grabbed Kane's arm and hit him in the face with the hilt of his sword, knocking him down before Deathstroke punched him again as another strike knocked his son out.
Cicada, Kane and the Jackals were in restraints and on their knees as A.R.G.U.S. was about to take them all in.
"His real name is David Hirsch. Scientist that worked in 33.1, was listed among the casualties, when we raided Lex's facility." Felicity read.
"Apparently, that wasn't the case." Lyla drawled.
"Looks like he scrapped up some pieces from Amazo and rebuilt it with Joe, creating also some power-dampening dagger." Felicity said.
"Let me take care of my said. Please, he's my responsibility." Slade said.
"You can try." Lyla sighed.
Later, A.R.G.U.S. Detention Black Site
Kane was strapped to a chair in a glass cell, specially designed to limit his movement before Slade entered.
"You should have killed me. Look at yourself, you've become pathetic and weak." Kane sneered.
"I was a killer, Joe." Slade admitted. "But with Ming, I had no choice. The Mirakuru turned me into a monster. I hope you will see reason. You don't have to go down this path, Joe… please…"
"You want to make peace? After how many people you killed? How you abandoned me?" Kane sneered as Slade sighed.
"I know I've made my mistakes… but what hasn't changed that you're my son and I love you… and I am not going to give up on that one day, you will come to your senses and see reason." Slade pleaded. "We've both gone down a dark path… and we've both done things that there might be no forgiveness for… but I found a way out from a place, there shouldn't be a way out from… maybe you can too."
"You think I want saving?" Kane scoffed.
"I think that you need time to open your eyes." Slade said. "I've given up on you once, kid. I won't make that mistake again, ever. I know I broke that promise the first time… but I've changed."
Kane looked at his father in shock in surprise and he was now conflicted, not sure what to believe. For such a long time, he followed down a dark path of a killer… a monster… to be like his father… but seeing that his father had changed and despite the terrible things his son had done, he wouldn't give up on him… where does his path take him now?
"Don't worry, kid. We have all the time in the world now."
Circus
"They slaughtered our sheep." Manchester said sadly as he looked at the havoc. "Killed our brothers and sisters."
"I told you." Johnny said. "I told you it would be like this. Humans will always hunt us down."
"Not all humans…" Manchester pointed out.
"But look at the blood… the havoc… it will take weeks to rebuild what we have lost." Johnny said.
"All my work…" Manchester whispered. "They must pay. In blood. Starting with the man, who designed that monstrosity."
S.T.A.R. Labs
"I guess you were right, Barry." Dinah admitted. "People in ghetto… might not have been the best idea."
"So, does that mean you're going back to Team Arrow?" Barry asked.
"I don't know." Dinah admitted. "But I think you guys could use some help too."
"You think Oliver's gonna be OK with us taking you in?" Caitlin drawled.
"He already has a screamer in his team." Dinah pointed out.
"Welcome to Team Flash… Black Banshee." Cisco quipped.
"'Banshee', really?" Ralph drawled.
"I mean, Black Canary's technically Laurel's codename and everyone is afraid of Dinah, so I thought…" Cisco trailed off.
"I actually like it. Black Banshee." Dinah said.
Suddenly, an alert beeped on the computer.
Slabside Maximum Security Prison
On an island prison, far away from the coast of the United States, Lex Luthor was alone in his cell, reading his book before a storm raged upon the prison.
"What do you want?" One of the guards demanded as Manchester Black, Adam Fells, Mark Mardon and more of the metahumans from the circus appeared in front of the prison.
"Give us Lex Luthor and we will leave!" Manchester said.
"He must pay for what he did to us!" Mardon shouted.
"His monstrosity destroyed our homes, slaughtered our kind! This is all on him!" Adam Fells yelled.
"No one else has to get hurt!" Kyle Nimbus cried.
"What's going on?" The warden asked as a guard entered.
"Sir. The metahumans, they want Luthor, or they will kill every last guard in the prison to get through to him, if they have to."
The warden picked a phone and dialed a number. "Director Michaels, this is Slabside. Code Omega Red. I repeat, code Omega Red."
One of the metahumans telekinetically choked to death most of the guards as Kyle Nimbus suffocated the rest of them.
"Let us out! Let us out!" The inmates panicked as they heard gunshots and explosions.
A breach opened as Team Arrow, Team Flash, Deathstroke, Gypsy and Breachers and the Legends showed up in front of the wave of metahumans, with Manchester Black in charge.
"Get in line! Don't let any one of them through!" Oliver ordered.
"Take them down!" Manchester ordered as the metahumans rushed at the heroes.
Black Siren and Black Banshee unleashed their sonic screams, knocking away some metahumans, while Elongated Man stretched his arm towards a nearby pillar and swung around, knocking some metahumans down.
One of the metahumans fired some fireballs as Mick had in one hand his flamethrower and in another Snart's cold gun as he extinguished the fireballs and knocked the metahuman away with his flamethrower. "There's room only for one fryer, punk!"
Supergirl flew around, knocking the metahumans down before using her super breath. Vixen roared like a gorilla as she charged at the metahumans, knocking them down as Green Arrow, Speedy, Nyssa and Arsenal tried to shoot down the metahumans but one of them created a rock wall as a shield before slamming the ground as the shockwave knocked the archers back.
"Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen…" Arsenal counted.
"Is this seriously a game to you?" Nyssa drawled as she and Arsenal were shooting down the metahumans.
"I've got twenty." Speedy said.
"Thirty." Nyssa said, little offended.
"Oh, we'll see about that." Arsenal said as they continued firing.
Nate steeled up as he and Atom beat more of the metahumans and Sara rolled away as another metahuman threw at her electric whips before she jumped at another metahuman and from him she leapt at another, wrapping her legs around him and snapping his neck.
Deathstroke was unfazed as one of the metahumans tried to shoot some spikes at him but they didn't pierce his armor as Deathstroke rushed at him with his sword and sliced him across his chest. An energy blast knocked Deathstroke back and he was sent flying before Kid Flash caught him.
"Thanks, kid." Deathstroke said before he continued fending off the metahumans.
Mr. Terrific threw around his T-Spheres, taking down some metahumans before suddenly, an electric blast knocked him back as he fell down, chest burned up as he stared up without seeing, dead.
Wild Dog was shooting more of the metahumans down as Black Banshee and Black Siren screamed at the top of their lungs as the following sonic wave knocked most of the charging metahumans away.
Manchester looked annoyed that his army was being taken down, while he turned to Mardon. "Smite them." He ordered as Mardon looked reluctant.
"What?" Mardon demanded, hoping he had misheard him.
"I said, smite them!" Manchester ordered but Mardon looked reluctant to fight the Flash again and not wanting to go down that road anymore. Manchester growled as he instead raised his hands and started to choke Green Arrow, the Flash and the remaining heroes. "Don't you see this is how it's supposed to be It's either them or us!"
Cisco fired a vibe blast, knocking Manchester down as his grip loosened.
"No! That's enough!" Caitlin stepped up. "Don't you see you're giving them all more reasons to hate us and hunt us down?! If we kill them, we're no better than Lex Luthor!"
"They struck down our blood, even if we hurt no one! Even if we tried to start over! Kill or be killed! Starting with Luthor!" Johnny yelled.
"I thought we could be redeemed and admired but fear is the only way they'll learn to respect us!" Manchester said.
"You said you wanted to redeem every metahuman. You kill all these innocents, everything you've done will have been for nothing! And it will be like Lex Luthor all over again! No more blood! No more violence! It has to stop!" Caitlin exclaimed.
"The killing will stop… once Luthor is dead!" Manchester shouted as he started to choke Caitlin to death and everyone gapped, that their savior would choke one of the innocent metahumans who had tried to save an innocent child five months ago.
"That's enough." Mardon told Manchester but he didn't listen, with his death glare focused on Caitlin, who was struggling to catch her breath. "Manchester, enough!"
Something in Barry snapped as he rushed at Manchester and Johnny tried to stop him but Barry hit Johnny as he was sent flying, knocking him out as he hit a wall before Barry hit Manchester in his face, knocking him out as Caitlin fell down, gasping for breath.
"No more death." Barry said.
All the metahumans looked in shock at Manchester's blind ambition and ruthlessness before looking at Caitlin, who was willing to stand up for what she believed in as everyone looked at her in admiration as she got up on her feet, confused as the metahumans bowed before her.
Did I kill off Curtis? Yes. Honestly, it baffles me how often Curtis gets his ass kicked in the show and is still walking around. And he was a good comic relief in Season 4 of Arrow but since Seasons 5-7, he's been a useless moron. One more chapter to the end.
So, what do you guys think?
