September 23rd - 2014 - Earth 2.
"Alright, we're in" Oliver's Dopplegangar, who I learned went by Ataşehir and was Malcolm Merlyn's apprentice on this earth sent the communication back along the gravity wave communications Harry had rigged up, the communications fairly stealthy since we'd not been discovered yet from them. We were a three-man team, Atasehir, Jay, and I. Jay who was weakened but still able to move fairly quickly as a speedster, Atasehir's league of shadows stealth, and my own strength overcoming most obstacles. Yeah, on this earth it was called the league of shadows, similar group though.
We'd just made it into a hidden entrance to what intel indicated was a control and relay facility for the sentries. He obviously had never read the evil overlord's list because this violates rule 52 which states that an evil overlord will hire board certified architects and surveyors to examine facilities for any secret passages, tunnels etcetera that you don't know about. Not to mention rule 36 given the prison situation, no idea how he managed to conquer multiple earths with obvious mistakes like this. As we made it down the passageway and towards the core, I felt a strong feeling of electromagnetic energy, there was some kind of power source nearby. Quickly signaling to the others, I began guiding them towards what I thought was a main power system, carefully keeping my senses open for any kind of backup generator.
"This has to be it" I gestured to the large circular machine which had large amounts of energy, the thick cabling going to it obviously power conduits given the voltages required to send signals through space/time distortions. Atasehir placed several explosives in key spots while I ripped some cabling out of a nearby console and pinched the ends with a bit of what looked like copper to create a kind of wire hook to bridge several together before gesturing for them to get back and stabbing each end through the thick cable sheath, being rewarded by large amounts of current flowing into my body charging my abilities a bit.
"As nice as it would be to enjoy a free recharge this thing is going to short out and likely overload soon, so I suggest we get out of here, jay, think you can get him here out quickly, so I can focus on escaping?"
"Shouldn't be an issue" suddenly they were gone, and I began charging through the corridors, alarms blaring as passageways were trying to lock down, but the metal bulkheads tore like tissue paper as I slammed into them and charged out, the building detonating mere moments after my escape. The entire area had gone dark, likely anything tied to it had lost power and was trying to get emergency backups online. I just hopped I bought earth one a little more time while Reverb worked to locate the breach generator.
**************************************
Earth 1
There was a huge battle going on in downtown central city, more and more machines were marching out of the breach, with an entire legion stepping through every few minutes to replace any that were lost in battle. Barry was using his speed to distract and do damage, channeling his speed force energy into massive speed gains before hurling bolts of lightning that would arc along and take out several machines. Oliver was firing explosive arrows and providing ranged cover, while Kara used her Kryptonian abilities to wreck any she could get her hands on.
Firestorm was dealing with the army of metahumans that had been brought through by Zalost's dopplegangar, the combined hero working to keep the metas off balance and scattered while Black Canary and Nightwing worked to take them down. Cisco continued to monitor things from S.T.A.R. Labs, a kind of shield having gone up that Wells had prepared after the first metas began causing trouble a few months back. He also kept in touch with Clark and J'onn who were trying to take down the satellites but had run into a nasty complication with them being both powered by a Kryptonite reactor and surrounded by some sort of field that prevented J'onn from simply phasing into them, so Clark was trying to weaken the barrier at range in the hopes that J'onn could remove the Kryptonite and allow him to dispose of the one they were working on.
Back on the ground, the leader of the invasion, Zalost's counterpart, used his powered armor to knock several heroes around once, even grabbing firestorm and nearly draining their energy enough to forcibly separate them before Kara managed to break his hold on them. He seemed incredibly confident until the armies stopped coming through. The machines on the ground standing at attention awaiting orders, allowing Barry and Kara to quickly destroy all but a handful who suddenly moved in to guard their master. The signal being transmitted also stopped and wasn't able to jam all frequencies anymore.
Suddenly Cisco got a message from Oliver, apparently multiple rocket launches had been initiated by a clandestine organization called A.R.G.U.S. targeting the satellites. The only problem was the satellites still had some sort of point defense system because minutes after the launch dozens of explosions were seen across the world, the satellites intact. Things weren't looking good since the remaining metas, robots, and Zalost himself were managing to stand their ground against the heroes, until suddenly the collars came off, and the metas began attacking the robots instead. Zalost began to move with bursts of speed not unlike Barry before striking his targets now, the force throwing people around and making it difficult to get close and do any real damage. At least until Oliver managed to fire several explosive arrows into the joints and limbs of the powered armor, the precision seemingly impossible outside of tales of people like sir Robin Hood.
The suit was slowing down after that, likely having received damage from the unexpected strikes, Kara taking advantage of it to fire energy beams from her eyes directly at the suit, weakening it further. It then became more difficult as the machines suddenly changed tactics and began acting defensively around Zalost moving in to guard him from further attacks. Then the breach began flickering and losing cohesion, causing him to began moving backward towards it, Barry taking the chance to run through it and try to go get their Zalost back before it closed.
