How Arrow should have Gone

Season 6
 * The Fallout of Lian Yu’s explosion has more consequences than just Samantha’s death. Laurel survives the Lian Yu explosion but finds Nyssa dead she then goes looking for Talia but does not find, as she goes to retrieve Nyssa’s body, she is then found missing. John loses a leg instead of just receiving extensive nerve damage. Evelyn is confirmed dead. Felicity is comatose and not Thea, who begins helping Oliver raise William.
 * Oliver and Laurel put their plans to move in together on hold because of William, eventually they move in together. Oliver does not quit being the Green Arrow despite William’s concerns and his struggle is finding balance between being a dad/hero/mayor.
 * Felicity is eventually brought out of her coma but faces the consequences of actions releasing Cayden James who begins attacking ARGUS for revenge against his unlawful confinement. Additionally, he is not the leader of the criminal cabal or seeking revenge against Oliver.
 * Vigilante’s identity is Police Captain Frank Pike, who after years of watching his men die in the streets decided to become a vigilante. Laurel eventually discovers this and shares it with the team but they ultimately decide to bring down Pike the legal way because they don’t want another major release of criminals when Pike is exposed like with Chase.
 * Ricardo Diaz in this version is different, instead being a drug lord, he is the leader of Star City’s underground fighting circuit. Diaz has an extensive martial arts background winning numerous tournaments and popular competitions, the only reason he is not a pro is because of his extensive criminal history and being the tied to several unsolved murders. (His extensive criminal record and martial arts background will be a better explanation for his skills later.). Laurel now District Attorney, wants to make changes by going after Diaz as he is using his fighting circuit as a recruitment center. Wanting to feel useful since losing his leg, Diggle goes undercover in the fighting circuit and beats the recruits, as the top contender gets to face Diaz who is his league's undisputed champion. Diggle faces Diaz and is defeated by him, forcing Diaz to go underground after the Team and SCPD comes after him.
 * The leader of the cabal is FBI Agent Samandra Watson, who is willing to extreme lengths to prove Oliver is the Green Arrow and have arrested for his crimes. Choices to illegally work with the following criminals: Anatoly Knyazev, Cayden James, China White, and Frank Pike. Promising them pardons and revenge if they help her against Oliver.
 * In Crisis on Earth X events play pretty much the same but slightly different. Oliver asks Laurel to marry him, but rather than make scene like Felicity she turns him down privately and explains that she has just realized that she is secretly afraid that Oliver will break her heart again; knowing this she cannot marry him because she doesn’t want to get hurt again. Oliver eventually accepts this and tells Laurel that after everything he has put her through, he can’t blame her for how she feels. Instead, Oliver tells her that when she feels she can fully trust him that he’ll still be ready to marry her.
 * There are changes to the New Reichsmen Villains as well as some new additions.

Sorry again my story is so long, I think my story need multiple parts.
 * Oliver Queen/Der Pfiel (German for The Arrow), is a general and leader of the New Reichsmen whose ambition wants him to be the next Fuhrer. Like, the original version he is the lover of Kara's Earth X doppelganger but is not in love with her although he does care about her and sees her as an invaluable asset to the army. This version develops an romantic obsession with Laurel, as his Laurel who he was completely faithful too and in love with, died years ago. Ultimately, he is killed by Oliver to save Laurel's life.
 * Kara Zor-El/Ubermachen (German for Overgirl), virtually the same as in the show although maybe more powerful because of the excess solar radiation even though it is killing her
 * Nate Heywood/Eisenhardt (German for Iron Heart), this version's grandfather became a traitor during WW2 and helped the Reich as such his family became like royalty.
 * Todessturm (German for Deathstorm), before his death, Hitler believed Project FIRESTORM could give eternal life and Martin Stein was the chief scientist forced to work him. After the Hitler's death during the project, Stein and Hitler became a fiery corpse-like being. Todessturm has all the Firestorm abilities in addition to his physiology causing not to age, require sustenance, or feel physical sensations at all. Todessturm has a different personality than either Stein or Hitler, and considers himself a new being entirely
 * Eobard Thawne is part of the New Reich his role is the same, after he killed the Earth X Barry Allen.
 * Goal: Instead of just being there for Supergirl to cure Overgirl, the Reich are there for all their doppelgangers. Todessturm has developed a new version of the Firestorm merging process: which allows doppelgangers of other earths to become one being with the merged individual having powers, physical attributes, and knowledge of both counterparts in addition to the process being permanent. However, Todessturm needs E1 Stein and Jax as their physiology has missing pieces to perfect the process. (This plan would not only allow Overgirl to survive but it would make the Reich's members stronger)
 * After Stein’s funeral instead of a certain someone suggesting they get married with Barry and Iris, Laurel suggest Barry and Iris marry in Star City were Oliver as mayor can officiate which they do. After Barry and Iris leave for their honeymoon, Laurel then proposes to Oliver as she realizes that life is short and as scared as she is about getting hurt again, she is more scared I never trying to spend her life with him; Oliver accepts and the two become engaged.
 * The Idea of Team Arrow being broken apart by its enemies was not a bad idea but have it be gradual and more natural than what happen in season 6. Slowly the team falls apart because of the cabal and Oliver’s decisions. First Felicity is fired because the cabal is framing her, and her decisions of last season made her less trustful. Then Rene leaves after Watson threatens to take Zoe away, Curtis leaves because he feels being a vigilante cost him his life, and Diggle leaves because he hasn't always agreed to Oliver's decisions and should have question them more, if he had he might still have his leg.
 * Eventually the Cabal is taken down and Pike and Sampson are causalities. Like before, Ricardo Diaz kills Watson, revealing the he was keeping tabs on her actions from China White who works for him. He also released Oliver's doctored photo to the media, bribed or blackmailed the city's police and officials, and killed Watson's son to get her and the FBI to investigate Oliver so that he could take over Star City without being seen.
 * After the fall of the Cabal, Felicity is convinced to work with Cayden James as all of his actions have been mostly non violent. Eventually, Felicity comes to her senses and takes James down with the help of Curtis and Rene. However, afterwards, Felicity suffers a crisis of faith as her time with James made her realize how arrogant she really is (seriously she has even stated she always thinks she's right) causing to seriously question whether or not she is a good person especially after blowing up Havenrock (they never really explored this).
 * Roy is rescued a lot sooner from Diaz, and he bonds again with the team. Oliver, Laurel, and Thea meet Diaz but eventually he escapes but not before fighting and defeating Laurel who only escapes with life because of her Canary Cry. (Again to further demonstrate his skill).
 * Nyssa is revealed to be alive as Talia took her body after Lian Yu's explosion and resurrected her with her own personal Lazarus Pit, but she also brainwashed her by repeatedly killing her and bringing her back to life turning into a obediently loyal and even more ruthless killer. Talia and Nyssa have been hunting down and killing the Thanatos Guild that Malcolm established, but not before delivering Malcolm's last will which contains the locations of multiple Lazarus Pits to Thea. Laurel and Oliver fight Nyssa and Talia, with Laurel trying in vein to bring Nyssa to her senses. Eventually, Talia escapes and Nyssa is captured and put in an ARGUS facility to help her regain herself. Afterwards, Thea and Roy leave to destroy the remaining Lazarus Pits so what happened to Nyssa never happens to another person and to keep them out of Talia's hands.
 * After recruiting Anatoly's aid and forcing Oliver out of office, Diaz attempts to join the Quadrant. Ricardo's backstory is the same as he was raised in a church and tortured by Jessie who beat him, burned him, stole his food, and treated him like he was a worthless nobody. However, Jessie was also a child drug dealer when he was about to be busted he put all evidence on Ricardo and Diaz went to juvie for a crime he did not commit (This was the writer's original plan for Diaz to be a wrongfully convicted felon who became a monster because of our justice system, but they later changed it for some reason). While in juvie Diaz joined the Scorpions for protection and who taught to him to fight, thus starting his development to become a master martial artist. After getting out of juvie, Diaz confronted Jessie and beat him in a fight then burned him alive when they were both kids. Diaz admits to Anatoly that he is no different from everybody else as everyone has something to prove whether they admit or not, as that he wants to prove to everyone including himself that isn't a nobody or a loser by becoming someone powerful and important. Diaz has also obsessively studied various video footage of Oliver fighting as the Arrow or as the Green Arrow, to know how he fights in order to defeat him in combat should the need arise.
 * Diaz puts Oliver on trial, where Laurel defends him (Note: it is not illegal for a significant other to defend their spouse, it is just considered ill advised). The trial goes poorly and during a recess, Diaz goes to see Oliver. He explains that taking down Oliver is not personal but strictly business, as do to his upbringing in a Church, Diaz came to respect martyrs and if he just kills Oliver outright then that's what he will become. Diaz states that the only way to prevent someone from becoming an martyr is to make them so hated that people will be glad when their dead which is why Diaz exposed Oliver's identity, divided his team, kicked him out of office, and brought up his trial to remind people of all the questionable and criminal acts Oliver has committed; afterwards when he dies in prison surrounded by the criminals he put in there then no one will fight in his name. (Considering what a psycho Diaz is, we never got an explanation as to why he did not just kill Oliver and everyone, but this seems to be the reason to me). Oliver is eventually sent to prison as Diaz reveals that he has the judge, the leading prosecutor, and more than half the jury under his payroll; leading him to end the trial immediately while continuing to deny he is the Green Arrow but not before making peace with the Team and saying goodbye to William and Laurel.
 * As Laurel works to get Oliver out of prison, she struggles to take to care of William especially when legal issues involving his custody come into play because she and Oliver have not gotten married yet. Meanwhile, Felicity is approached by Alena who informs her that HELIX is falling apart and the remaining members are considering her for leadership. Felicity is unsure of this, because of her choices as of late but after talking to Diggle he reminds her of all the good choices she has made. Felicity eventually accepts the position but asks Alena and later Laurel, that if they ever feel she is stepping over the line that they stop her.
 * Oliver's time in prison is similar to Season 7, minus the fact that he has to throw a lot of fights to continue to maintain that he is not the Green Arrow. Eventually, Christopher Chance, is sent to prison as a prisoner by John Diggle to back Oliver up.
 * Realizing that Oliver's team will not abandon him, Diaz decides to have them and their loved ones killed. The team escapes but their bunker is destroy, with the team relocating to the emergency bunker Oliver made and that went to during his mother's funeral, for hiding. Eventually they get in touch with Anatoly to convince him to help them against Diaz, who is disgusted by Diaz choosing to kill innocent children; Diaz justifies his actions saying the one day, William might grow up to want revenge against him for killing his father. **(Sick but there is a logic behind it)**Anatoly meets Laurel and John, and gives them a flash drive containing proof that Diaz rigged Oliver's trial. However, Diaz already suspecting Anatoly's betrayal attacks them, Anatoly decides to sacrifice himself to allow Laurel and John to escape but not before asking them to apologize to Oliver for him. They escape and Diaz brutally kills Anatoly, knowing that he still needs Oliver to die in prison, Diaz goes to Slabside to personally kill Oliver himself.
 * Diaz storms Slabside with his men and causes a massive prison riot, Oliver and Chance are constantly on the run trying to stay alive. The Team gets word of the riot and goes to rescue Oliver and Chance. Diaz eventually brings Oliver to him and is about to kill him but decides against killing an unarmed man. Instead he and Oliver fight one-on-one, the two fight evenly but Oliver gains advantage and is about to break Diaz's neck but knowing that's a signature move for Oliver, Diaz escape the hold and ground & pounds Oliver until he is barely conscious. (Diaz would have been a better antagonist if he actually defeated Oliver in a fight and he bested him because of his own lifetime of training, extensively studying Oliver's moves, and slowly weakening him emotional and physically through out the season) Diaz starts to stab Oliver in the chest with Oliver barely holding the knife off from puncturing his heart, until Laurel arrives hits Diaz and his men with her Canary Cry; Laurel and Rene then take Oliver and Chance to escape prison.
 * As Oliver recovers in the cave, Felicity uploads the Anatoly's flash drive to the media proving Oliver's innocence to the public; this also helps Oliver because now that he has been tried for all his actions as the Arrow and the Green Arrow he can no longer tried again due to double jeopardy. Oliver wakes up and talks to William, who tells him that what matters the most is for them to stay together as a family. Knowing that Diaz is to powerful now that he controls all of Star City and is backed by the Quadrant, Oliver decides the best course of action is for the team to leave Star City to keep themselves and their loved ones safe while they begin working on breaking down Diaz's criminal network. Before that Oliver and Laurel decide to marry in private ceremony with the Team and Lyla attending as Diggle officiates the wedding . Oliver, Laurel, and William leave Star City together, Rene and Zoe go with John and Lyla at secure ARGUS locations, and Curtis and Felicity go underground using HELIX and their resources.
