This is how I think Arrow season 3 would've continued if Oliver really did die on the mountain at Ra's hand.

Fighting, brutal slaughter, on one side honest people trying to defend their home led by a young man in a red hoodie and a woman in black, the other side were those of criminals, gun weilding terrorists and murdurer's The fight was going well even though many had been hurt including Wild Cat a vigilante who had not been seen in years. Even so the good people of the Glades still carried on to defend their home. However the leader of the terrorists the man responsible for all this was nowhere to be seen.

"Cin watch out!" Roy screamed as he shot an arrow behind his friend taking out a thug who was about to kill Cin.

"Thanks R-Red... Red Arrow" she said trying to play it off well. He just smiled then immediately ran off to Diggle who seemed lost dispatching a few thugs along the way.

"Dig whats going on?" Roy asked while panting after all the fighting.

"Look around man what do you see" Diggle said. He did as the older man instructed but he just looked back in confusion.

"People who need our help." He said

"But where's Brick?" He asked rhetorically.

Roy realised after Brick broke Grant's nose he hadn't been seen. The two heard a scream from an alley near by, they rushed there to find Merlyn with a dead Danny Brickwell laying on the ground.

"Don't bother raising the bow or gun, I'm not the enemy he is or was." Merlyn said while gesturing towards Brick's corpse.

"That wasn't the plan Merlyn" Roy muttered

"It was my plan, yours was to defeat Brick's army and take back control of the Glades, and it seems that you're succeeding", The three noticed the fact that police cars were approaching "Oliver's dead you saw the body it's time you moved on" he said whilst shooting off a grapnel arrow and flying off into the night.

"ATTENTION STARLIING CITY VIGILANTIES YOU ARE NOT TARGETS YOU CAN COME OUT NOW!" Demanded the voice of Quinten Lance coming from a megaphone.

"Roy do we?..." asked Laurel through the earpiece in Roy's hood.

"I'll go you and Dig get Grant to the hospital" comanded Roy.

"Looks like you're giving the orders now" said Diggle as he walked off.

Roy stood infront of the police and reporters as they asked him questions. After Lance got the crowd under control he did ask Roy a few things infront of everyone. " Thanks for the help in taking down Brick but where is he?"

"Dead. He was killed by Malcolm Merlyn, I'm sorry we couldn't get to him in time" he said nervously.

"Why didn't you tell us he was still alive" Lance demanded slightly angrily.

"The arrow made it clear that Merlyn's whereabouts were to be held secret afterall not even he could beat him even back when he was a killer" he said realising that he was going against what Oliver told him.

"Then why are you telling us this now? better yet where is The Arrow?" Lance demanded.

Roy swalloed his breath

"He's dead that's why The Arrow is dead!" He shouted

They covered it up for a few weeks but he couldn't any longer the world knows everyone knows. Lance subsequently shed a small but a noticable tear only seen by Roy.

"He's gone" said Roy one last time.

Everyone was silent this would mark a day that everything changed that the world would move into a new era the one where The Arrow didn't exist.
