Secret Saga of THE GREEN HORNET "NEW Green Hornet" Part 1

We Have Already Seen...

...Angela DeVane, the matriarch of a multi-generational crime family, has destroyed the mansion of the Reid family, the multi-generational Green Hornet family, leaving casualties strewn about the property!
Britt Reid II (the second Green Hornet), and his nephew Paul arrive and attempt to rescue the survivors...if any!

Note: apparently Angela was able to figure out that the Reid family were the Green Hornets, not just cooperating/financing them!
Remember, Diana Reid never told her the actual Reid/Hornet relationship!
What can one man...without any martial arts training or combat/fighting experience...do against experienced mobsters, even if he's motivated by vengeance and equipped with amazing weaponry?

Secret Saga of THE GREEN HORNET "Requiem and Rebirth" Conclusion

When Last We Left the Reid and Kato Families...

Angela DeVane, daughter of dead gangster Joey DeVane claimed The Green Hornet (II) killed her father...when she had, in fact, slain Joey!
Angela lured The Green Hornet into a trap, then killed him with a bomb!
However, she had actually slain Alan Reid, the third person to assume the role, not Britt Reid II (who was forced to retire from his costumed role as Green Hornet II due to a heart attack), whom she had hoped to eliminate!
Now the villainess intends to murder DA Diana Reid's father, the original Hornet, because she believes the Hornet's operation and the Reid family are in cahoots!
(Angela doesn't realize the Reids are the Hornets!)
Meanwhile, Hayashi Kato, (Green Hornet II's partner) blaming himself for not protecting the impetuous Alan Reid, has fallen into a drunken depression, which his younger sister, Mishi, tries to help him overcome.
At this moment, Diana heads for her father's home to warn him...
Now we know how the house ended up in the condition it is currently in!
The question is, who...if anyone...survived?
Find Out...
