It's late and I'm bored. So let's fanfic season synopsis's.
Season 3 "The Longbow Hunters": Broke-Ollie and crew have to fend off a group of mercenaries who come to be called the Longbow Hunters. Their leader, Richard Dragon, is looking to claim control of Starling's underworld in the carnage left by the earthquake machine and Slade's rampage, and on their itinerary is taking out the Arrow. Back on the island, Oliver receives further training by a man named Magus, who tells Oliver about more of the secrets his father took with him to the grave. The island plot leads directly into Season 4, which is...
Season 4 "The Outsiders War": Spear. Shield. Ax. Fist. Sword. Arrow. The Outsiders are a secret society comprised of clans based around six totem weapons. Where they are once a pillar of good, the clans have long since become corrupted. The new leader of the Arrow clan, Komodo, has declared war on the now rich again Oliver Queen, whom he believes is the key to finding the lost totem Arrow. It's an all out war as Team Arrow tries to find allies among the clans and stop Komodo's plot to destroy several major cities across the globe with biological weapons. On the island...Idk. Stuff happens. lol I guess they could do something with Waller and Ollie knowing each other from the island days. Anyway, this all leads to season 5...
Season 5 "SuperMax": Following the events of the Outsiders War, Oliver Queen's identity has been revealed and after pleading guilty to his crimes as the Arrow, he is locked away in the now ARGUS-controlled Blackgate Prison. Resigned to his fate, Oliver is content to simply live out his sentence until the city is plunged into chaos by the HIVE, who are using Starling as a testing ground by supplying the underworld with advanced weaponry. With everything going to hell, Oliver plots to escape from the prison and save his city once more. On the outside, all the heroes we've seen over the past four seasons try to maintain the peace until Ollie escapes: Diggle, Felicity, Dec. Lance, Black Canary and Huntress (who now call themselves the Birds of Prey and are assisted by an unseen third party known as "The Oracle"), Thea (now Speedy/Arrowette/Artemis [pick-the-name-you-like-best], after being trained by Malcolm), Roy (now Arsenal, who is convinced by Thea to come help) and Katana (head of the Sword Clan). The island scenes are just small vignettes of a now totally isolated Oliver trying to survive that tie into each episode thematically.
The first scene of the series finale is the first scene of the series premiere, with Oliver leaving the island, making it the last flashback. Oliver and the rest of the heroes triumph over the HIVE. Waller is able to pull some strings and make Ollie a free man.* The Birds of Prey decide to stick around and become Starling's new protectors, despite Oracle's objections. Thea, declining an offer to join the Birds, says her fighting days are behind her and she leaves Starling for good after making peace with her brother. Roy returns to his new home in Coast City; he's worried about his daughter Lian because he had to leave her with her mother since his
"other friends" weren't available. Felicity gets a nice job at Star Labs, where she's free to get friendzoned by Barry Allen now instead of Ollie. Diggle puts his soldier days behind him and settles down with his ex-wife. Ollie, deciding that Starling is safe with the Birds, leaves to travel the country in search of others who may need The Green Arrow's help. Accompanying him is the friend he made in Season 4, a test pilot named Hal Jordan. Series end.
*Or if you like your endings a bit bleaker, Ollie returns to prison and simply lives out his sentence, content that he managed to save the city one last time. Everyone else gets to be happy though.
