Team Flash, Ollie and Clark from Earth 10 walked around the Himalaya, India, searching for the machine Monitor talked about.

- This is weird! – Killer Frost said, making Ollie jump.

- Why do you keep changing from one person to another? – He said, looking confused at that woman. He wasn't sure if he could trust her yet, especially seeing her change from sweet to snarky in a few seconds from time to time while he was in this crazy adventure to save the universe.

- Caitlin let me come and take over from time to time. And since this mission is like super serious, it's better if I stick around.

- Got it!

- God, you're so much nicer than the other Oliver... And handsome – Frost smiled at Ollie that just gave her a small nod and kept walking.

- So... This is the right place? – Clark asked as they stopped at the base of a huge mountain.

- I bet this thing's at the top of this... - Ralph said, looking worried.

- It's always the mountains and caves and warehouses... - Cisco said.

Clark used his enhanced vision to see the top of the mountain. He looked worried as the others waited.

- There's a machine up there...

- Told ya! – Cisco said but stood quiet after the look Barry gave him.

- But there are also some strange beings around it...

- They must be the things Monitor told us to protect the machines from... - Barry said – Clark and I will super speed you guys there so we don't lose time.

- Good idea! – Frost said as she was brought up there with the others by Clark and Barry.

- I smell trouble... - Ralph said, getting ready to fight those awkward things that started to attack them out of nowhere.

- Are those things... shadows? What the hell? – Cisco said as he felt like an idiot.

LEIDEN – NETHERLANDS

Black Lightning team, Clark (Earth 38), Laurel, Charlie and Ray from team Legends came out of the breach one by one directly inside of a huge and empty place that looked beautiful and a bit creepy at the same time.

- Wow, the National Museum of Antiquities. This place is so beautiful! – Ray said as he looked around like a kid that just got to his favorite theme park.

- This place is full of sarcophagus with ancient dead people, and you think is beautiful? – Jennifer asked, wanting to get out of there as soon as possible.

- It's art. – Ray smiled and looked around. – And... Of course the Monitor would send us to a place like this... I bet there's a secret passage or something really cool where he hid the machine...

- I think you're watching too much of Indiana Jones movies or something like that... - Laurel said, rolling her eyes. – Can we please hurry?

Clark nodded as he focused his eyes around the place. They needed to find the thing fast so they could protect it on time. He had a bad feeling about that place.

- This way... - Clark said as he cautiously walked around the sarcophagus, knocking slightly on the walls. – There's a tunnel around here, hidden...

- Cool... - Ray said and quickly fixed it after the glance them all gave him – I mean, nice you found it fast... Let's go.

One by one, they entered the tunnel, walking slowly and looking around for any traps. At that point, anything was possible.

MACHU PICCHU, PERU

Batwoman stood by Dick, Jason and Kory inside the Temple of the Sun while Donna and Jason looked around one of the Inca buildings of the place. She looked as Dick studied the place.

- I think you need to look down your feet – He said pointing at Kory – I'm pretty sure this machine is hidden underground. He wouldn't be stupid to let anyone find it so easily.

- You sound just like him... - Kate said looking at Bruce.

- I'm sorry?

- My cousin... You sound just like my cousin. He's... had version of you in my Earth and trained him...

- You mean a pain in the ass, always in bad mood and thirsty for punching people? – Hank teased, earning a death stare from Dick. – I'm kidding!

- If your Gotham is anything like the Gotham I knew, I'm sure you understand... - Dick said as he kept observing Kal while he used his x ray vision.

- Yes, I do. – She said.

Kory used her powers to open a hole in the ground. The others came in running as they heard noises.

- So, it's here? – Donna asked.

- Yes. Deep down.

- Let me help you – Donna said as she looked at Kory and nodded with her head.

Donna used her fists to open even more the hole in the ground and it started shaking, making everyone walk a few steps behind. The tip of the machine appeared from inside the hole and Donna used her lasso to grab it, pulling it out and placing it on the ground.

MOROCCO

Sara, Nate, Bruce, Raven and Garr ran like hell through the Riff Mountains as they heard Kal telling them he found it. Finally, after looking everywhere, the machine they needed to protect was right before them.

- That was not so hard now, was it Mick? – Nate looked to his side and couldn't find his friend. – Mick?

Sara looked around, worried. Garr looked at them.

- He was right behind me while we ran here... This is weird.

- Something happened to him and we didn't notice! – Nate said as looked around with Sara and Garr yelling for him.

- Hey, SARA! – Raven came running after Sara and touched her shoulders. – Hey, calm down! We will find your friend, I'm sure he's ok.

- I'm not. You don't know him. This is really bad... - Sara looked impatient as she tried to take deep breaths and calm down.

Dark shadows started to come from every direction possible, catching them by surprise. It started suffocating Garr as Sara tried to fight one, going through it every time.

- What the hell? – Nate said as he struggled to get rid of one shadow

- I have a feeling those things are with our enemy – Bruce said grabbing a small device made of glass from his utility belt.

Bruce threw the thing on the ground and it exploded, creating a silver smoke that took over the shadows, making them solid.

Raven's eyes had a red light out of the sudden, and she took a deep breath, letting all her power go against half those shadows. Garr took advantage to transform into a tiger, jumping in three shadows at once, knocking them out. Sara, Bruce and Robin fought a few shadows, punching and kicking them everywhere they could. Nate steeled up and dealt with two shadows and Kal used his super speed to knock more of them out.

The moment everyone found the machines, dark shadows started appearing everywhere: China, India, Netherlands, and Peru. It was literally hell on Earth everywhere.

Back in the ship, Oliver stared impatiently at the Monitor. He had enough of his games and mystery; he needed to understand everything right at that moment. He looked at Pariah by his side and lost it.

- ENHOUG!

The Monitor looked at Oliver with curiosity in his eyes.

- Tell me why he's here, why I'm here, what is this big part I play in this crisis, and I need real answers. I've had enough of you being vague. People I love are out there is some sort of crazy mission for you, at least you own me the truth!

- We made a deal the last time we saw each other; your friends would survive but you would help save the universe.

- I remember!

- Good. By helping me reaching for everyone I needed, you are doing your part of the deal. My evil counterpart is about to destroy everything and we must do everything in our power to stop him. You were needed here with me, because there's a few things you need to do and understand. Pariah is here because is his destiny to watch all worlds suffer, and witness something else... I had a plan; the machines should help weaken him by uniting the universes. It's the way I know it will make him weak, because for each universe he destroys, his powers grow. Do you understand? There are only 5 Earths left. He cannot destroy them or he will become invincible and your frustrations will be the least of our problems. Because there won't be a you anymore, or your loved ones.

- I know that! The universe is in danger, I KNOW THAT! I just... I need to do something else; I can't just stay here and watch while everyone sacrifices everything... These machines, that's why they need protection, to merge everything?

- Yes. The machines are programmed to start soon; this is our hope for the universe. At least, it was.

- What do you mean it was?

- Your friends are under attack.

- WHAT? – Oliver looked at the screens, feeling desperation taking over him.

- They can handle themselves. You need to focus...

Oliver heard steps coming closer and looked at the door only to see Lyla, wearing some blue suit as she stared at him.

- Lyla?

- Hi Oliver.

- What the hell is happening? What are you doing here?

Lyla entered the room and approached Oliver.

- I'm helping the Monitor.

- How the hell do you know him?

- He saved me when I was a kid. He raised me so I could help him in the future, help him save the multiverse.

- So... You knew? All this time? And never told us a single thing?

- Everything needed to happen as they did; I trusted he knew what he was doing. He knew this day would come so he prepared me for it.

- It was all a lie? You, John... Our friendship?

- No. That part was always real. I told Monitor I wanted to live a regular life, have a family. It was my condition to help him. I knew the multiverse was in danger and everything could be erased and that we would need heroes to help us. But the destruction, Earths being erased... I had no idea it was this serious until I saw it. Anti-Monitor is more powerful than anything any of us has seen. I needed to find you and help you get here, somehow.

Oliver looked away from Lyla, trying to process all that information. He understood where she came from, all of that but still, he couldn't get over the fact that she knew all along what would happen. This was too much for him to handle now.

CHINA

For a brief moment the shadows disappeared from sight and everyone looked at each other.

- Are you all ok? – Kara asked as she cleaned her suit with her hands.

- I guess... - Seg said, helping Nyssa get up.

- I'm pissed! – Adam said while Wild Dog and Dinah nodded with their heads.

Dinah suddenly jumped at Alex and Renee, fighting her. Brainy got into some sort of trance and started attacking Kara. Seg and Nyssa looked scared as they tried to use their powers to help hold them up. J'onn flew towards Brainy while Kara tried to hold him and a huge fight broke out.

- Why are they acting like this? – Alex said as she fought – What's happening?

- It looks like some sort of mind control! – J'onn said as he tried to use his powers to stop it, and ended up having a massive headache, dropping his knees to the ground as he held his head with his hands, yelling in pain.

INDIA

Killer Frost started using her powers against Cisco, Barry, Ollie and Clark. Ralph started trying to help her, attacking as well. Barry used his super speed to knock him out. Frost deflected one of his lightnings and smiled, attacking again.

- CAITLIN? IT'S ME, BARRY! – He yelled, trying to wake her up.

- There's no use! – Clark said as he acted fast, holding her arms behind her back with his hands. – They both are being controlled, I'm sure of that!

- We need to wake them up! – Cisco said and as soon as he touched Caitlin's shoulder, he felt that familiar sensation every time he used to vibe.

He saw himself in a dark room with a huge equipment right in the middle. Someone was flying towards it, destroying it. As soon as the person reached the ground, they started to yell in pain while a huge dark figure beat the crap out of them. Cisco tried to see who that was, but couldn't.

- Cisco? – Barry said while Clark still held Caitlin still – Are you ok?

- I think I just got my powers back... And saw someone die. I just don't know who it is.

Back in the ship, Oliver looked at Lyla, still thinking about all of the things she told him.

- I understand – He said after a while – I'm just... a bit surprised.

- I know. I just hope you also understand that every time I said I love John, I mean it. My mission in this world changes nothing, I...

Lyla stopped talking. Her eyes went blank and she got up quickly. Oliver found that behavior really weird and got up as well.

- Lyla? It's everything ok?

Lyla didn't answer. She just walked out, going to the main room of the ship. Oliver followed her but Pariah reached for him, holding him with a strength Oliver wasn't expecting. He tried really hard to focus but that guy was really strong, like Kara level of it.

Oliver looked at some weird knife inside Lyla's boot and studied her movements towards the Monitor. Suddenly, Oliver understood it. Lyla was possessed, probably Pariah too by the way he was acting, and she was going to kill the Monitor.
