《New Earth: Arrow》Chapter 26

"My liege, if Moira Queen exposes the Undertaking, then everything you have worked for, everything you've built, will have been for nothing." Athena said to Malcolm as they stood in the Guild's stronghold under Malcolm's mansion.
"Which is why you are going to ensure that she cannot. It's a shame, I was very fond of Moira, but I cannot risk her exposing everything I have built." Malcolm said as another member of the Guild approached him.
"What is it?" Malcolm asked.
"We've just received word that the devices are ready. They're on their way here now." the guild member said.
"Redirect them to the proper locations. We're setting off the Undertaking immediately. Take one squad to the backup device's location. I'll have Tommy meet another squad at the primary location." Malcolm said.
"Yes my liege." the assassin said as he walked away.
"Go. You have your orders." Malcolm said to Athena.
"And you my liege, what about you?" Athena asked.
"The Green Arrow most likely already knows and he will come here for me. And when he does, I will be waiting to kill him." Malcolm said and Athena nodded as she walked away.
"We have a new problem." Tommy said as the team prepared to move out.
"What is it now?" Oliver asked.
"I just got a call from my dad. The timetable of the Undertaking is further ahead than it was in the previous universe." Tommy said.
"How much further?" Oliver asked.
"Both devices are on their way to the designated locations as we speak and he's sending his second in command Athena to deal with Moira." Tommy said.
"Thea is going to enjoy that." Roy said and Oliver nodded in agreement.
"Why?" Laurel asked.
"On the old earth, Thea and Athena were bitter rivals. I'm sure she'll love to have the opportunity to get to kill her." Oliver said and Laurel nodded.
"So, what's the plan now?" Roy asked.
"Roy, Laurel, go to SCPD in case Athena brings back up, plus Thea is going to need her gear if she wants to fight Athena without blowing her cover. Tommy, head to where your father wants you, I'm assuming your father was training you to take over the Guild?" Oliver asked and Tommy nodded.

"Yep. I can handle the members guarding the main device." Tommy said.
"Good. John, Rene, you two head to dismantle the backup device. Felicity will guide you through it." Oliver said.
"What about you?" John asked, though they all had an idea.
"I'm going after Malcolm solo. And this time, I'm gonna make sure he stays dead." Oliver said and they all nodded and Tommy didn't even seem bothered by the fact that his best friend was planning on killing his father.
"Let's move out." Oliver said as they all headed out.
When Green Arrow entered Malcolm's mansion, he found the bastard waiting for him, dressed in his Dark Archer gear.
"You don't seem very surprised to see me." Green Arrow said.
"Do you really think I wouldn't anticipate a visit from you after Moira decided to take the coward's way out and expose my plan. But then again, she is just like her husband. Weak and spineless." Malcolm said and Green Arrow growled.
"Don't you dare talk about either of them that way!" Green Arrow shouted as he aimed an arrow at him.
"Why would you care what I say about them. They're just more one percenters. Or they were before they're untimely demise." Malcolm said.
"I'm surprised you haven't put it together yet Malcolm." Green Arrow said as Malcolm got a closer look at the facial features that weren't covered by the mask and hood.
"Well, this is a surprise. But then again, I guess I should've put the pieces together. Oliver." Malcolm said.
"I know everything you've done." Green Arrow said.
"Oh really, and what exactly do you know?" Malcolm asked.
"I know that you sabotaged the Queen's Gambit because my father was going to back out of your Undertaking. You killed at least a dozen innocent people." Green Arrow said angrily.
"I'd hardly call your father an innocent man." Malcolm said.
"On that we do agree, but he's still a lot more innocent than you are." Green Arrow said.
"Debatable." Malcolm said.
"Enough of this. It's time you pay for every one of your crimes." Green Arrow said as he fired an arrow directly at the floor, causing a smoke explosion.
Malcolm barely had enough time to raise his sword as Green Arrow flung himself forward and struck with his bow meeting the blade.

"You really think that you can beat me Oliver?" Malcolm asked.
"You tell me." Green Arrow said as he quickly slugged Malcolm before he really began fighting him.
Moira was wondering where Thea had went, since her daughter had said she was going to the restroom nearly half an hour ago when the lights went out and she could hear the officers outside running around trying to figure out what happened, but she had a feeling she already knew, so she just sat back and waited for whatever was coming to happen.
And sure enough, a woman around Thea's age, dressed in familiar black garb, dropped down into the room.
"Moira Queen." Athena said.
"I'm surprised Malcolm isn't here to end me himself." Moira said.
"He's got other things to worry about. But you won't be one of them anymore." Athena said as she aimed an arrow at Moira's heart, but just before she could fire, a blue arrow knocked it away and both women turned to see Thea, dressed up as Typhoon, holding her own bow up.
"Get away from Moira Queen." Typhoon shouted, her voice modulator turned on, but that didn't conceal the anger in her voice.
"And what are you going to do about it?" Athena asked.
"You'd be surprised." Typhoon said as she collapsed her bow and unsheathed her sword.
"You want to test your blade skills against mine?" Athena asked.
"Unless you're scared." Typhoon said as Athena pulled out her own sword.
"Very well. I will end you and then her." Athena said.
"Not likely." Typhoon said as they both readied their blades and charged at each other and sparks flew as their blades clashed.
Malcolm was surprised by Oliver's skill, since he was barely managing to keep up with Oliver's skill until finally, Oliver had stolen his sword and was holding it to his throat.
"How did you get so skilled?" Malcolm asked.
"You'll never find out." Green Arrow said as he then proceeded to shove Malcolm's own sword through his chest.
"That was for my father." Green Arrow snarled as he proceeded to decapitate Malcolm.
"No coming back from that you son of a bitch." Green Arrow said as he got on the comms.
"Overwatch, Malcolm is down, please tell me the devices are disabled." Green Arrow said.
"Yeah. I talked John and Tommy through it and they're both disarmed. Haven't heard anything from Thea yet." Overwatch said.
"I'm here." Typhoon said over the comms and they could hear her panting hard.
"You okay?" Green Arrow asked.
"Better than Athena is." Typhoon said.
"Is she?" Green Arrow asked.
"Dead. She was good, but I was better." Typhoon said as she looked down at her dead opponent.
"You okay with that?" Green Arrow asked.
"Never been better. I'm heading back to the bunker." Typhoon said.
"I'll meet you there." Green Arrow said as he took one last look at his hated enemy before heading out.
"So, Malcolm's down and the Undertaking is dealt with. What now?" John asked after they all regrouped in the bunker.
"We take some time for R&R and Tommy and I clean up the mess made of our family's companies and we also prepare for Slade's arrival." Oliver said as his phone rang.
"Hello?" Oliver asked when he saw it was Barry.
"Oliver, is now a bad time?" Barry asked.
"Well, we just took down Malcolm Merlyn, so I'm in between bad guys at the moment. What can I help you with?" Oliver asked as Barry explained the ASA situation to him.
"Have Cisco open a breach to the bunker in about 20 minutes, Thea, John and I will head your way." Oliver said.
"Got it." Barry said as Oliver hung up.
"What's going on?" Thea asked.
"Barry needs our help dealing with the people who turned you into a meta in the first place. I told him you, me and John will head to Central City to help them. Laurel, you're in charge of the team here." Oliver said and they all nodded.
"We have 20 minutes to get our things together before our ride arrives, so let's go." Oliver said and Thea and John both nodded as they moved to get their things ready, since they'd all decided to keep overnight bags at the bunker in case something like this happened.
