"Are you sure this place is a good location for this?" Oliver asked as they arrived in Zambezi, 1892.
"The totems are strongest in Zambezi and considering what we're about to do, we need them to be as strong as possible." Kuasa said.
"But by choosing this location, don't we risk altering the timeline of your entire nation?" Laurel asked.
"That's why we chose a location far away from the villages. We're still in Zambezi, just in a part of the area that isn't usually isn't inhabited. In fact, this area is actually warded off in our time as cursed. No one will come here, so we should be safe." Mari said and they all nodded in agreement.
"So, how does this work exactly?" Ronnie asked as he felt the weird presence of the demon that Constantine had put inside him.
"I'll open the prison and the demon will then take over your body and you will die." Constantine said.
"Meanwhile, we will use the totems to kill Mallus once and for all." Kuasa said.
"And how exactly do we do that?" Zari asked.
"By uniting their powers into one enormous force of good." Mari said.
"And how do we do that?" Nate asked.
"Follow us, do as we say." Mari said.
"Okay." Nate said as Ray nodded as well.
"First, we need to hold hands and form a circle." Kuasa said.
"Then what?" Nora asked.
"Ray, use your fire to provide our champion with it's spark. Zari use to air to give it breath." Mari said.
"I will use my water to flow life's blood through its veins." Kuasa said and Mari nodded.
"Nate, you're then going to use the earth totem to give our champion flesh. I'll use my spirit to provide it with a soul." Mari said.

"So what about me?" Nora asked.
"These 5 totems aren't strong enough to kill Mallus. Death is needed to kill him." Mari said and Nora nodded.
"Okay so, let's do this." Oliver said.
"I still think that we should be the ones who do this." Laurel said of her and Oliver.
"No, it's best that you two aren't a part of this, since you're both too close to the situation." Mari said.
"Besides, we don't know what else we could potentially be unleashing on these people. Since Mr. Constantine is devoting his magic to trying to keep the demon from leaving this area after we release him, the three of us must be ready to stop anything else from being unleashed." Rip said and they both nodded.
"Shall we begin then?" Constantine asked.
"Thank you for doing this Ronnie." Laurel said.
"Constantine, before you do it, can you do that other thing we talked about?" Ronnie asked.
"Yes and it's best I do that first." Constantine said and Ronnie nodded as Constantine held out a strange bottle and began chanting.
"What are you doing?" Oliver asked as an orange fire began to be extracted from Ronnie's body and soon it was all contained in that bottle.
"Removing the Firestorm matrix from me. I didn't want to risk it giving Mallus more power." Ronnie explained.
"Plus, now it can be transferred to another, a new Firestorm. In a way, Mr. Raymond will continue to live on." Constantine said and they nodded.
"Okay, I'm ready." Ronnie said as he closed his eyes as Constantine placed the bottle down and began chanting. The more he chanted, more black veins began appearing on Ronnie's face.
"You'd better start making your warrior." Oliver said to the totem bearers, who nodded as their totems began firing 6 beams of energy, fusing together in the center of the circle they'd made, the light glowing and growing around them as their champion began to take form.

"It's too late." Ronnie said in a voice that was definitely not Ronnie's as his body crumbled and Mallus's huge demon form took his place.
"Thank you for opening the door John Constantine. I might actually consider letting you live because of that." Mallus said.
"I only let you out so that they could kill you." Constantine said as he tried to hold Mallus in place.
"You really think that they can kill me?" Mallus asked with cold laugh, right as the ground shook as the energy over took the 6 totem bearers, fusing them into one huge being.
"Is that?" Laurel asked in shock as the champion's form became clear.
"I can't believe it." Oliver said as Constantine chuckled a bit.
"I suppose it is fitting, since there's one thing that never fails to scare any creature after a girl, be it a demon, or a boy. An overprotective father." Constantine said as the champion was revealed to be a Mallus-sized Green Arrow, a complete look alike of Oliver.
"Mallus, you have failed this reality." Totems-Green Arrow shouted as he pulled an arrow from his quiver and aimed it at the demon.
