Synopsis:

It's the final face-off between Butcher and Corvus and the odds don't look good for our heroes. But when Tsunami surprisingly attacks the villains, Corvus flees, followed by Butcher. Kam tangles with Tsunami until Green Arrow appears. Together, Arrow and Tsunami defeat and kill Kam. Butcher catches up with Corvus who has entered a plane, intent of using Namdorph's particle beam weapon on a competitive firm. Butcher reaches the plane just as it takes off, and starts fighting Corvus in the air, knowing that many innocent lives can be lost if the plane crashes in a populated area. In a last effort, Butcher manages to snap Corvus' neck and let the plane go down into the sea.
The victory is bittersweet. Justice is done and Butcher has avenged his parents. But Luke is dead and John is the one who has to tell the bad news to his wife and daughter. For the time being, however, Butcher and Green Arrow take a well-deserved break with Ollie teaching John some archery.
