## Synopsis

Barry and Iris's wedding brings the gang together, but things go awry when villains from Earth-X attack the ceremony. All of the superheroes band together with help from their super friends like Citizen Cold, The Ray, Black Canary, Firestorm and Alex Danvers to take on their most formidable villains yet. Earth's mightiest heroes – Green Arrow, Supergirl, The Flash and White Canary – lead their teams into battle to save the world.

## Plot

A Nazi regime rules the parallel world of Earth-X, where an archer known as Dark Arrow is the Führer. He seizes a temporal gateway from the Freedom Fighters, which enables traveling to other universes. On Earth-1, Barry Allen and Iris West's friends, including Kara Danvers and Alex Danvers from Earth-38, come to Central City for their wedding. Johnny Quick, Cisco Ramon, and Caitlin Snow develop a serum to separate the Firestorm Matrix from Martin Stein and Jefferson Jackson. However, Jefferson is reluctant to give up being Firestorm.

The wedding ceremony was interrupted by invaders from Earth-X led by Dark Arrow, Overgirl, Prometheus and Scream Queen. After Kara injures Overgirl, and Alex and Sara Lance capture Prometheus, the Nazis retreated. Dark Arrow, Overgirl and Scream Queen, who are Oliver, Kara and Laurel's doppelgängers respectively, discussed their next steps with Eobard Thawne, Barry's speedster nemesis who was previously presumed dead.

In S.T.A.R. Labs, Prometheus reveales himself as Tommy Merlyn's Earth-X doppelgänger, then takes a suicide pill out of loyalty to the New Reich after taunting Oliver. Johnny reveals that through his exploration of the multiverse, he discovered that Earth-X was a dystopian world where World War II was not won by the Allied Forces. Dark Arrow, Overgirl, and Thawne stole an experimental sub-light generator, the Prism, from a research company.

Green Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, White Canary, Firestorm, Alex and Black Canary go to fight the invaders, only to be discover it was a diversion as Dark Arrow invades S.T.A.R. Labs. Oliver's team, along with Johnny, Caitlin, Cisco, and Mick Rory, are in captivity at S.T.A.R. Labs after the Nazi forces occupied it. Oliver, Barry, Sara, Martin, Jefferson, and Alex are captured and taken to a concentration camp on Earth-X, while Kara is moved to S.T.A.R. Labs. It's revealed that Overgirl is dying from disproportionate insolation in her heart and Dark Arrow plans to use the Prism, powered by the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator, to create artificial red sunlight that can weaken both Kara's invulnerability, allowing Thawne to conduct a heart transplant from Kara to Overgirl.

In the concentration camp, the heroes are rescued from execution at the hands of SS-Sturmbannführer by Ray Terrill and Leo Snart. Thawne prepares to operate on both Overgirl and Kara, while the Legends work to rescue their friends at S.T.A.R. Labs. General Winn Schott, the commander of the Freedom Fighters, is determined to strand Dark Arrow and Overgirl on Earth-1 by destroying their temporal gateway. While posing as Dark Arrow, Oliver discovers the Nazis' doomsday device, a ship called Wellenreiter, a militarized equivalent of the Legends' Waverider. Oliver allows the timeship to enter Earth-1 to avoid jeopardizing his cover, but he is ultimately exposed when he refused to kill Felicity Smoak's Earth-X doppelgänger, a concentration camp prisoner. The heroes struggle against both the Freedom Fighters' Red Tornado, deployed by Schott as a failsafe, and the Nazi forces, and the gateway's portal is opened at the cost of Martin being mortally wounded.

The heroes return to Earth-1 and learn Jefferson is also affected by Martin's injury, so Martin uses the serum to separate the Firestorm matrix and dies from his wounds. Jefferson tells Martin's family of his fate; they, along with the Legends and Barry's team are devastated by Martin's death. His death spurs the heroes to declare war on Earth-X's Nazi forces. When the Nazis attackCentral City, the heroes counter their assault. Johnny, who pilots the Waverider, destroys the Wellenreiter after the heroes disable its shield. Barry spares Thawne, who vowed to return. During the fight with Kara, Overgirl's solar radiation goes nuclear and Kara carries her into space, where Overgirl explodes. Oliver kills Dark Arrow soon after. After Martin's funeral, Kara and Alex return to Earth-38, Ray returned to Earth-X, and Leo decides to remain with the Legends. John Diggle, an ordained minister, officiates Barry and Iris' wedding.
