To get the verdict for the previous and the final chapter:

The battle at Nanda Parbat was well done and I understand how tricky it can be to write group fight scenes involving a large amount of characters but as long as it isn't hard to follow, it's fine and I had no problem following it.

I expected Tatsu to help but reading your response to other guest, I can see why you didn't involve her, since to her Maseo is too far gone, as you said.

The fight scene between Oliver, Slade, Talia and Ra's was well done and he got what he deserved.

Nyssa and Talia making amends and reconciling, well, if Talia hadn't been so obsessively loyal to her father, I can see that happen with proper writing but it gives a bit of a strange feeling to read about it. Good that they are forging their own paths freed of their father.

Slade's farewell with Oliver was nice and now he looks for Joe. Well, he's in for a wild ride.

Poor Lyla and Baby Sara but don't really care about Diggle.

Helena, Roy and Oliver forming the new Team Arrow? Well, nice. Don't really care about Laurel, since to be blunt, she's the weakest of all Canaries.

Nice story.

Very nice chapter and ending to this.

Nice moment with Talia and Nyssa and good that Nyssa is free of the League now.

Poor everyone for Dig dying and nice funeral for him.

And nice moment with Oliver and Thea as well as Roy and Thea.

Loved the goodbye between Oliver and Slade.

And Huntress is back. All criminals better watch out.

Nice story as well as ending.

Nice ending. Makes sense Slade is still a wanted man pardon or not he can’t just waltz through a city without causing a panic. Love Helena got her second chance as much crap as she did she did seem remorseful in the end and I am kind of sad she wasn’t there for the finale.

What are your thoughts on the clone army from Star Wars?

I thought it was good nice pointing out the difference between Slade’s swordsmanship being more brutal and vicious, makes sense as a soldier/black ops agent he fights more practically than a more classy and refined centuries old warrior of elegance like Ra’s these tiny details show a true fan who knows their stuff.

This is why I love Barry and Oliver’s friendship they’re like Wolverine and Cyclops minus the Jean mellow drama. They’ve been through similar experiences suffered the same losses and there is understanding between them and no sense of judgement or the sense one is better than the other which is what made their bromance believable and true plus their camaraderie took years to develop. Unlike a certain blonde Kryptonian who suddenly has an entire tree shoved up her bony ass because she’s some Paragon of do goodness or whatever and looks down and condemns Oliver for the last three crossovers (Sorry ranting Crisis made me hate Kara especially how she seemed to belittle his sacrifice for her and her world not to mention she seemed to care more about spending girl’s night with Bat-fake someone she met once rather than help the people she has known for years bring back the man who died for her goes to show what a crappy friend Kara is, again pent up ranting sorry)

Can’t wait to see how this ends Talia has the league Ra’s is dead and Slade is relatively on better terms with Oliver. I wonder if he’ll join the team now that Digg is gone.

Another great chapter, can't wait for more. Glad that you return back to this story.

Hoohoo my god, man did I absolutely LOVE this battle for sure, Stand with Ward, t'was far more than just OK, you did BRILL more like.

Slade taking on Ra's was definitely the big highlight, just another reason why I love Slade so much, even though he ain't as high skilled as the crazy Ra's he'll do anything to protect Oliver from harm and here certainly proved that as always. Loved his, Oliver and Talia's combined threesome takedown of him at the end. Helena being turned on by Oliver and Slade was a goodun, and Barry's little trick with the two assassins was awesome. Pity that dear Tatsu wasn't here for this, but then, you're the author so is your works, Talia putting him outta the picture was appropriate, I guess.

And now Talia bears the Demon's Head ring, fingers crossed Oliver hasn't made a big mistake indeed.

Looking forward to the end, let's see how it's done

Oh man, it feels so so good indeed to back on this at long last for you, Stand with Ward, helped by you updating this a few hours ago. So, without any further ado, let's get into this...

Well of course it would make damn sense of Talia to know who Barry is, as she says, if she's been watching Oliver she'd wanna know who his close allies are. Certainly caught the Arrow 3x23 identity outing similarity there for sure. And no kidding on Oliver's suit in season 4, that one was a bit... not right, is all I can think of to put it, so am happy he's got his season 5 suit.

And here we come, the big battle approaches, let's do it

Nice chapter.
That's interesting to think of the producers or showriters reading your stories. Just for curiosity, what are some thing you've done in your stories that ended up in the shows?

Nice chapter.

Nice references to 5x23 as well.

Helena being turned on by Oliver and Slade being amused gave me a good laugh.

Nice fight scenes for sure.

Talia gave Maseo what he deserved, and the others helping out was done well.

Barry knocking out the two assassin X-Men Quicksilver style gave me a nice, good-natured laugh.

And nice fight of Oliver, Slade and Talia against Ra's. I think Ra's is a better swordsman than even Slade, but Slade is the second best Arrowverse swordsman.

Loved how they took down Ra's in the end, all three of them together.

And now Talia is the head of the League.

Looking forward to how it all ends.

Helen's comment made me laugh so hard

Since it was Talia who killed Maseo obviously Oliver has to tell Tatsu right? Also any chance of a sequel dealing with Darhk, Prometheus, Dragon, or Emiko.

Loved it

Oh Lawton, careful who you’re trying to mess with.

And, as Dr. Strange would say, “We’re in the endgame now.”

I do like how Barry is backing Oliver’s plan to kill Ra’s I know he’s one of the few heroes with a conscience and with a firm view of right and wrong but people seem to forget Barry has dropped his share of bodies in his career Blackout, Atom Smasher, Sand Demon, he technically killed Zoom there was also the whole letting Savitar fade from existence.

Quentin’s reassurance of Thea again he truly was the father they needed. Also they seemed to have copied you idea of making him Mayor in one episode of season 8. Even if it was a ‘Happy Death Day’ rip off scenario by the Monitor for the sake of him being a douche and putting Oliver through the wringer.

To be fair the original suit sans sleeves was designed by Cisco most of his ‘prototypes’ could be a bit campy. Look at Ralph’s condom suit.
