Waking up on beach on a lonely island, Queen is all alone and must learn to live off the landscape creating a bow and arrow and improving his already basic archery skills. After 2 years on the island, he comes across a native village who attack Oliver and refuse him entry or food. One member of the native's, Mandu, leaves the village to tutor Queen on living alone, improving his archery skills to peak level and learning that "Outsiders" came to the island and took their children and women as slaves.

She sends Hackett to finish the job she ordered him to do 2 years ago and he arranges a trap for Queen by capturing Oliver's maid. Arriving at the trap, Green Arrow is ambushed by Hackett and China White's men but he manages to take down all of the men after his life is saved by an unknown ally with a black arrow. The unknown ally is Merlyn who is a assasain for hire who has been tracking Green Arrow and observing his skills who is also working for Maxwell Lord. Merlyn kidnaps Hackett before the police arrive and takes him to Lord who is revealed to be a meta-human with the power of telepathy. He raids Hackett's mind to find that Green Arrow is really Oliver Queen and that to finally take over Queen Industries, Green Arrow must die. He orders Merlyn to kill Green Arrow. China White meanwhile finds out that Green Arrow had outside help from a man dressed in black and has Merlyn tracked down bringing her at loggerheads with Maxwell Lord who uses his telepathy to control her so that she works for him and tells her to order her men to bring Oliver Queen to him dead or alive adn puts a bounty on his head of $1m. Queen is now wanted by all Star City's underworld and is eventually captured by a group of small time crooks who banded together. Merlyn kills them all and takes him to Lord himself and who mentally tortures Queen with his telepathy. Queen manages to activate an arrow on his wrist that fires in Lord's neck and breaks the telepathy. Oliver grabs his bow and is about to finish Lord off but Merlyn fires an arrow that deflects Green Arrow's arrow. Green Arrow and Merlyn then face off while Maxwell Lord escapes. Green Arrow contacts Lt. Sawyer and gives him there location. With Green Arrow and Merlyn both having 1 arrow left, they face off and fire with the arrow passing milimetres apart. Both men are sent backwards with Merlyn stuck to the wall with an arrow through his shoulder. Queen was also shot in the shoulder and losing blood. Lt. Sawyer arrives and allows Green Arrow to escape while they take Merlyn in.
1 month later, Green Arrow has fully recovered and is stood atop of a building at night with a pair of binoculas in search of a villain. A shadowy figure emerges behind Green Arrow carrying an array of swords and gun wielded. As he fires, Green Arrow looks back to see the villain Deathstroke suspended in a green bubble in mid air held by the super hero known as Green Lantern who introduces himself and warns Green Arrow to watch his back."
Positive comments and Constructive Critism below thanks. Also I know there is no pictures but I didn't see it fit to add them in this article because it is more about the story then the cast.
