Sara speaks with Ava, Oliver gets a massive shock, and it's Legends and company vs. Mallus's army.
Sara Lance
"Just point and shoot," Jonah instructed Helen.
She took aim at one of the beer bottles, then fired and hit it dead center. "Damn, girl," Zari smirked at Jonah's jump.
Helen grinned, then proceeded to shoot every bottle in the rest of the line. "Whoa," Jax grinned. "Nice shooting!"
"Where'd you learn to shoot like that?" Jonah demanded.
"I learned to fight on Themyscira," Helen answered, handing the gun back and giving Sara and Zari appreciative looks. "But the Legends were the ones that inspired me. You gave me the gift of a new life. It is an honor to be here to help you save yours."
"Thank you," Sara nodded. "But we need to be teaching you to use the Totems, and I'm pretty sure you didn't learn that on Themyscira."
"Sorry, my college courses didn't include 'How to Wield a Totem of Zambesi,'" Cisco shook his head.
"Yeah, we're here for you and the Legends, Sara," Barry nodded. "We're not replacing any of you. Consider us the back-up."
Sara ignored the snort Malcolm made at that. "Look, we've already tried twice, and we failed miserably," she said, walking away.
Ava scowled, walking after her. "You still don't see it, do you, Sara?" she asked. "You guys made Kuasa and Helen's lives better. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. We are all here to support the Legends. And what, you're gonna stand there and tell me that you aren't the exact people to wield the Totems against Mallus now?"
Sara smirked slightly. "Good speech," she admitted.
Ava huffed. "Thank you."
"And, uh," Sara shuffled. "It's a good point."
Ava nodded. "Uh, by the way," she bit her lip. "I wanted to ask you, just . . . did you mean what you said, the last time we saw each other?"
"When I told you to run?" Sara raised an eyebrow.
"No," Ava shook her head. "Before that."
Sara thought back, then froze. "Oh. Oh, you mean when I told you I loved you."
"Yeah," Ava winced.
Sara smirked. "What do you think?"
"I, uh . . . " Ava gulped; Sara heard Laurel snicker quietly into her drink. "Think that . . . "
Before she could finish, the door to the saloon banged open. "Howdy, partners!" Palmer bounded in with a wide grin. "What did I miss?"
Sara scowled. "Where's Darhk?" she asked.
"I'd really hoped that was Martin kidding," Oliver muttered to Kara as they got out of their seats.
"Um," Ray trailed off.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Nate shouted, drawing the pistol he had, and Oliver's attention was drawn to the dark-haired woman in a grey coat that closed the door behind her, hands held up. "Wrong Darhk! Wrong Darhk!"
"Wrong Darhk?" Kara asked in confusion, seeing other weapons get drawn.
Malcolm, however, cursed violently, and Oliver's face drained of color. "Nora?" he asked in shock.
The woman halted in her tracks, eyes wide. "Oliver Queen?"
"No, no, no," Palmer skidded between her and Oliver, Nora's eyes quickly narrowing to slits. "Look, look, look, she's – she's been de-Mallused! She's no longer a demon!"
"Yeah, but she looks like she wants to kill Oliver!" Alex frowned.
"He killed my dad!" Nora glared at her.
"To be fair, everyone in the room has wanted to kill your dad at least once," Cisco held his hands up. "Please don't magic me to death."
"Wait," Mon-El stepped forward. "If she's not Mallus, does that mean we don't have to fight him anymore?"
"Uh . . . " Palmer smiled sheepishly. "Not exactly?"
"And what about Damien Darhk?" Slade frowned.
Palmer winced. "Long story short, um . . . he sacrificed himself for Nora, and now he's Mallus's vessel." Oliver groaned and facepalmed, and Palmer pasted a smile on his face. "So, what's new in the Old West?"
"Well, Caesar, Blackbeard, and Leif Erikson's crazy sister are demon pawns," Amaya answered. "They gave us an ultimatum to hand over the Totems."
Palmer nodded. "How long do we have?"
Horse neighs and shouts were heard outside, and Terrill and Leo, the closest to the windows, looked outside. "Now," Terrill said dryly.
Sara hurried out the door and out onto the porch, looking down the road. She heard other footsteps behind her, then Barry whistled. "That is an army."
"Yeah," Sara narrowed her eyes, watching Caesar, Blackbeard, and Freydís lead the Romans, pirates, and Vikings into the town. "And we're gonna kick their asses."
Barry grinned. "That's the spirit!"
Sara marched back into the saloon, looking over everyone who had come to help. "All right," she brought their attention to her, Barry stopping behind her. "We're facing an army of Romans, Vikings, and pirates. But you know what today is? Today's the day that we prove that Rip did not sacrifice his life in vain. And today is the day that we prove that we are not losers. And today is the day that we earn the name Legends."
As her team cheered and whooped, Sara tossed back the shot on the table. She swallowed with a grimace, then looked at Barry. "Last chance to back out, Flash."
"You kidding me?" Barry snorted. "I stand with my friends, wherever, whenever."
"You're in for it now," Sara clapped him on the shoulder. "Now . . . how do we sneak out the back?"
Sara Lance
Sara sauntered out of the saloon later, stopping right in the middle of the road where the armies were waiting. She raised an eyebrow at them, unimpressed, then spat on the ground. "Nice of you to bring your fan club," she sneered. "So . . . " She held up all six Totems. "About that ultimatum."
"There is honor in surrender, Captain Lance," Caesar nodded.
"Our new gods may grant you mercy," Freydís agreed.
"Yes, be a good girl and hand us over your magic baubles," Blackbeard ordered.
"I changed my mind," Sara smirked. "New terms: get out of town or get hurt."
Caesar snarled and drew his sword. "Attack!" he barked.
Sara shoved the Totems under her jacket and ran backwards, then turned when a horse galloped towards them. She grabbed Ava's hand and swung up behind her, and Ava veered off as green and black arrows zoomed past them from where Oliver and Malcolm had taken up sniper positions. "Can you believe this is my first time on a horse?" Ava asked gleefully.
Sara drew her revolver and fired back at the armies chasing them, and as Ava rounded the corner, she galloped towards the first line of defense: Nate, Amaya, Kuasa, Laurel, Cisco, and Imra.
Leo Snart/Mick Rory
Back in the saloon, gunfire crossed with light and ice as Mick, Leo, and Terrill defended against the Romans that swarmed. "You need some ice for those burns?" Leo grinned, shoving his gun in an offending Roman's chest, right into where Terrill punched him.
Mick grinned in delight as he looked down at the Romans he fell, then paused when the door slammed open behind him. "Haven't you ever learned never to turn your back on your enemies?"
"Caesar," Mick growled, then turned and dodged the sword aimed at him. Terrill and Leo watched as Mick avoided the swings at him, then sucker punched Caesar in the stomach. He then added a sharp punch in the face, and Caesar collapsed on the ground, reaching for his nose in shock. "That's a Roman nose," Mick grinned.
Nate Heywood
There was something funny about watching pirates run right into forcefields, Nate thought as he watched Imra alternate between punching them, swinging the sword she gained at them, telekinetically tossing them onto the roofs, and conjuring forcefields. The Saturnian was easily the best off out of all of them. Laurel relied on her knives, but when she was overwhelmed, one sonic scream later and she scored a strike on the enemies charging at her. Nate wasn't doing too bad, either. It was easy for him to turn his skin into steel to avoid getting hit, and his punches did much more damage that way, too.
"Whoops!" Cisco shouted from nearby, and he turned to see Cisco open multiple breaches in front of him. "Bye bye!"
The pirates then fell down to the ground behind them from several feet up, knocking them out cold. Nate couldn't help but laugh as Cisco grinned and continued to send disoriented enemies through different breaches.
Amaya had found herself a sword and was facing off with Blackbeard, their swords singing as they clashed over and over. Blackbeard finally drew his sidearm and fired at Amaya, who just barely dodged in time. His next sword swing disarmed her, and he leveled his blade at Amaya's neck with a sneer. "I should have known it was just a tall tale," he said. "You're not the Dread Pirate Jiwe."
Nate pushed a pirate to the ground and kicked his sword up off the ground and into his hand. "No," he shook his head. "Her name is Amaya Jiwe of the Great Tribe of Zambesi!"
He tossed the sword, and Amaya grinned, fighting back against Blackbeard with ferocious swings. When she finally disarmed him, she held her sword up to his neck, winking at him with a grin. Blackbeard's grin was nervous. "Tootles!" he waved, then he turned tail and ran off.
Alex Danvers
One Viking screamed as Alex drove her claws into his throat, and she tossed him over the railing to fire at the Roman behind him. As the pirate furiously raised his sword to hit him, a blur of blue and red hit him head on and grabbed Alex, flying her outside.
As Alex recovered her footing, she watched Kara heat vision the group outside, Mon-El diving down to help her punch the rest out.
Zari Tomaz/Alex Danvers
"Hey, Firestorm?" Zari called. "We're about ready for you!"
"Just let us know when!" Firestorm responded, a fireball flying past her and Jonah.
"Dynamite?" Jonah asked with a raised eyebrow. "You sure about this?"
"No," Zari shook her head, watching Slade and Helen defend their position down the road. "But it's too late for second-guessing."
With Barry and Wally keeping the army from closing in on three sides, Slade and Helen cut through the other attackers with ease. Helen had grabbed another pistol from a fallen pirate and used it to shoot the Romans coming too close for comfort.
"Ready!" Zari shouted, just in time for Alex to come running around the corner.
Slade and Helen made it just in time, as Firestorm flew down and tossed a fireball on top of the dynamite they had gathered. The resulting blast killed the Mallus reinforcements and knocked the others back. Zari found herself on top of Jonah, and Helen and Alex had landed in a tangle of limbs. "Whoa," Alex shook her head, then blinked at Helen. "Oh. Hi."
"Hello," Helen smiled back at her.
"You all right, Alex?" Slade got to his feet first, holding out a hand.
"Yeah," Alex nodded, grasping his hand gratefully and letting him tug her up. "Always a good day when there's an explosion and I don't die in it."
"Well, that's cheerful," Firestorm snorted as he landed.
"That's just the D.E.O.," Alex shook her head.
Malcolm jumped down from his post, whistling as he looked around at the carnage. "Heroes one, Mallus zero," he grinned.
"Great," Sara grinned, holstering her pistol. "Next round's on me!"
"Guys?" Barry zipped back into view. "Something's wrong."
The group looked around, and Alex gulped. "Uh oh."
Every enemy on the ground was opening their eyes again, the orbs now glowing demon red. "It's Mallus," Nora warned.
Helen turned to Sara. "Go," she ordered. "Make good your preparations. The rest of us shall buy you time."
Sara nodded. "All right," she looked around and found Zari, Nate, Wally, Mick, and Amaya. "You heard the lady."
The six ran towards the saloon, passing Leo and Terrill as they came out. "Round two?" Leo grinned.
"Yeah, I think the trouble follows us, not Oliver and Kara," Alex looked at Slade.
He smirked. "What, are you complaining?"
Alex rolled out her neck, standing back to back with the man as more demon puppets rose to their feet and their allies swooped in to assist. "Not one bit."
Sara Lance
"What's happening?" Martin asked when the Legends entered the saloon.
"Magic," Amaya said simply.
"Right," Martin nodded.
"Well, hopefully this goes better than last time," Zari griped as they formed a circle.
"All right," Amaya looked around. "We have to believe in the Totems, that they've chosen each of us."
"Well, if this really is the end of the world, then I choose to surround myself with you guys," Sara declared, holding out her hands.
The other Legends nodded, completing the circle.
Jefferson Jackson/Oliver Queen
"Let's do it!" Lily encouraged in Firestorm's head.
"You sure, Lils?" Jax asked, looking around as the army closed in. "There's a lot of allies we could hit."
"Do we, or do we not, have a Saturnian who can make a forcefield?"
Jax grinned. "You sound so much like Grey."
"I wonder why that is? Come on, let's show them!"
"Forcefield!" was all Firestorm said as he launched into the air.
Imra responded immediately, conjuring a shield around her teammates. Firestorm unleashed fire blasts from both hands, rotating around the top of the dome and taking out the first wave of attackers surrounding them. When he finished, Imra made the shield disappear, and Oliver, Malcolm, Slade, and Leo burst into action. Ava grabbed the sword from one of the pirates and started slashing away, Kuasa nimbly avoiding swords and punching with all her might. Every time one of the humans fell, Mon-El was there to block the next hit, as Cisco opened a breach, Barry delivered a knockout punch that launched the offending enemy through with his superspeed.
Jonah ducked as Kara flew overhead and used her freeze breath to knock a few Romans down, and he came back up with two firearms, firing both constantly. Helen was a whirlwind in the other direction, cutting down every pirate that Laurel didn't scream down. Terrill and Firestorm flew back to back, Lily constantly warning Jax every time a bullet was heading their way.
Oliver found himself backed up to the saloon, one Viking bellowing in anger and swinging so violently, he was nearly hit. Abruptly, the Viking started choking on nothing, then he flew into the air, crashed into the wall, then fell to the ground in a heap. Oliver stared in surprise, then looked to find Imra. He couldn't see her in the chaos, but when he turned again, he found Nora telekinetically throwing another pirate away from Palmer. In the process, she missed the Roman coming up behind her. He acted on instinct, drawing an arrow and shooting. Nora looked behind her as the Roman went down with an arrow in his eye, and she looked to see Oliver looking back at her. They both nodded to each other, and Nora turned to continue using her magic as Oliver headed back into the fray.
Kuasa flipped one pirate end over end, and Helen dispatched the last of the Vikings when all of the forces suddenly stopped. "Uh," Barry frowned uneasily. "I don't think that's a surrender."
A loud screech made Kara and Mon-El turn, and Kara's eyes widened. "That's the cavalry!"
The rest turned to see a massive, winged, horned being fly to the field and land, roaring loudly. "Mallus?" Alex asked weakly.
"Mallus," Nora confirmed.
Sara Lance
Inside the saloon, the Totems started glowing in unison. "Whoa," Sara whispered. "You feel that?"
"It's working," Amaya grinned.
"All right," Sara took a deep breath. "Now, imagine a powerful light of pure goodness."
Their Totems unleashed their magic in the center of the circle, and Wally smiled. "Something's forming!"
"Can I peek?" Zari asked. "I'm gonna peek." She opened one eye, then balked and opened the other. "Oh, God."
"'Oh, God?'" Amaya parroted worriedly. "What 'oh, God?'"
"Everyone focus!" Sara barked.
Amaya opened her eyes to look, and her jaw dropped. "Wait . . . is someone thinking of – ?"
"I'm sorry," Nate let out in a rush, and Sara opened one eye to peek, too. "You said think of something pure, and I thought – "
"No, you didn't," Sara groaned.
"Again, I said I'm sorry!"
"Wait," Martin's eyes widened as he peered into the circle. "Is that – ?"
"Yeah, I can't stop thinking about him, either," Zari winced.
"Guys!" Cisco backed up into the saloon. "Whatever you got – " He looked behind him, then blanched in shock. "Holy frack!"
Oliver Queen
The ground started rumbling, and Nora stumbled, falling back onto Palmer. "What the Sam Hell is going on?" Jonah asked.
"I think this is part of Sara's plan," Palmer answered hopefully.
Cisco ran back out of the saloon, eyes wide, Martin behind him with a matching expression. "You will not believe – !"
The roof of the saloon burst open from the inside, and everyone looked out as a massive blue blur launched out. It finally landed, and Barry's jaw dropped as a giant Beebo doll landed with a thud and a giggle. "I lo-lo-love you!" it announced.
Freydís's eyes widened in wonder. "The Blue God . . . he has returned!"
"What the hell?!" Alex sputtered.
"That is your captain's plan?" Helen asked incredulously.
"Where in the hell are Sara and the others?" Oliver asked Cisco.
He just gulped and pointed at Beebo. "That is Sara and the others!"
Oliver nearly got whiplash when he turned to look back up at Beebo. "What?!"
"Beebo hungry!" Beebo declared, then started off towards the field with a rush of giggles.
"I'm sorry, what the hell is this?" Malcolm looked around.
Firestorm abruptly separated into Jax and Lily, and Lily burst out laughing as Jax grinned. "Welcome to what it's like to be a Legend, Merlyn!"
A/N: Mallus: I have an army!
Legends: We have a Beebo!
Is that not how the final episode went?
