First Wave I

(Lost at Birth by Public Enemy)

Simultaneously a massive gate opens from Apokolips, Darkseid's attack cruiser moving through firing at the ground while the Waverider bursts into the air on fire, shimmering and exploding between multiple versions of itself.

The cruiser fires forward down, scattering it's barrage around a 45 degree angle, clearing a path for the following troops as it approaches the near distant farm.
____

A siren in the cell block.
____

Inside the Waverider, the crew flickers with the lights and sparks while the captain stomps the control panels.  They pass between versions of themselves in the same place, and scattered.  Some missing showing the others mourning, then back again all prepared, in varied states.

A siren on the battleship, crew running to task.

The Suicide Squad cells doors slide open in the compound, at the door out is Flagg holding their 'control box' and dropping it in the trash.

Near Martha, Flash cannonballs though a window, flying past her unnoticed while she dances and spins, sipping her wine.

He walks up at fast but human speed, pulls the plug from the radio.

Martha turns and sees him "Ah !"  Sees out the window past him _"! AH !"_

Flash - "Ms. Kent ... we need to go."

Martha - "Well clearly ... but why are you still in your pajamas ?"

*30,000 years ago*
*Apokolips*

Darkseid and DeSaad look over the battle cruiser's designs.  It looks pretty much like that big dumb asteroid people keep saying is a UFO.

Darkseid - Suspiciously, "I prefer rockets to lasers, you know.  Missiles and bombs and such."  He raises his fist.  "They strike the _fear."_

DeSaad - "Indeed they do.  We've redesigned the base structure for all your _personal_ comforts."

A child Orion plays with the model, crashing it.

Deadshot looks at the cruiser, then over the field through his scope, helicopter landed behind him.  Flagg walks toward while the rest prepare.  Deadshot takes an occasional shot, lazily dropping one of the countless hoards firing against the Lanterns' green barriers, a random flier falling from the swarm gathering over the field, torn at by the ground troops for flesh.

The Lanterns fire lancing shots through the shields with the other ring between returning it's function as a brace for the high shields.  Occasionally one is caught off, the shield struck without brace, tumbling them backward as the shield wraps to protect his body before they recovers to the line.

At the front of the line, the Legends battles them back desperately, all their powers and abilities apparently enhanced by their time fixing, and chaotic results from their strikes and in the weather. Above them the remaining time police attack the invaders, taking heavy fire, dropping fast.

As they approach each other, small gusts and whirlwinds filled with static begin appearing in their passing as they fan out in control of this, six of each person.

Darkseid's army is filled with ground runners, fliers and walking craft, all dominated by his battle cruiser still yet to exit the gate entirely as it's slow destruction of the land and fields works its way blindly over the farmhouse.

Flagg looks with him.  Behind him the army begins setting up their operating base.

Flagg - Chewing a wheat straw, pulling pages from a manila envelope, "We got us some intel ... you're gonna love it."

Deadshot - Still looking over the field, taking random shots.  "Oh ! Some intel !  That sounds nice.  What are we having ?"

Flagg - "We got ..." he looks at the file pulled from the manilla envelope, "Inter.  Dimensional.  Aliens."

Deadshot - "Oh good.  And it looks like all of them too."

Flagg - "That's about it.  _Apparently_ he's got eight billion of those motherfuckers lined up, all in a row."

Deadshot - "Hm.  A real mathematician."  He takes a shot.

Flagg - "Yeah ... and I guess they want to eat us too."

Deadshot - "Huh."  Takes a shot.  "Well that just makes my day."

Flagg - "Yeah.  Gloves are off and you get your parole."

Deadshot smiles and takes a shot.
____

Duct tape gets pulled off a roll in an 'X' in two slashes.
____

Deadshot sits on the helicopters front mounted chain-gun, duct-taped across his chest with an 'X' to the front.  

Deadshot - Calling to Flagg as he starts the helicopter, "So where the hell are all those", sarcastically, " 'Superfriends' with the big powers and all that ?"

Flagg - Yelling over the engines starting, _"It was in the intel package !  But I didn't want to ruin the surprise !"_  Closes the door.

A shadow passes over them, Deadshot looks up and sees the two battleships flying above them, carried by Clark and Kara, decks filled with Atlanteans and their battle cries, Mera at the bow of one, Arthur, the other.

Flagg - Over the comm, _"There's our cover-fire.  Now let's get this done."_

Four more helicopters take off behind them as he pulls his mask on and checks his guns.  "And then go home."
____________

Darkseid - "Is the cargo bay spacious enough for a _full_ invasion, though ?"

DeSaad - "My Lord it is almost entirely cargo bay, engines, and guns. All re-fitted to your ... _universally_ known tastes."

Darkseid - "Oh !"

Orion - "But it rolls really easily so won't the entire mortal crew fall on their heads and die when it crashes ?"  He rolls the model.  "Ahhh ..."

They pause and look at him confused ...

DeSaad - Turning back to Darkseid, "Well as you can see we use these cranes to stack the vehicles ..."

Darkseid - "Ah yes ..."
________________

Sara fights in the battlefield, after a dropping an opponent a gun goes to the back of her head.  

Sara - "Really ?  Now ?"

Rip - "Oh I'm afraid so Sara.  _Right_ now."  

A revolver goes to his head from behind.

Jonah Hex - "What are you doing with that gun looking like mine ?"  He takes the gun and cracks it in half.  "What are you doing with that coat ?"  He yanks Rip's coat off and tears it.

Other Saras walk up, wind swirling between them from the time-space displacement, crackling around them, shimmering between versions of themselves.

A Sara - "And in how many time lines did you really think you could get the drop on me ?"

Sara - "Sorry ... I was hurting this alien ..."  She stomps the alien.

Hex holsters his gun.  "Ladies ?"

('Mistadobalina' by Del the Funky Homosapien)

Saras start boxing Rip from all sides to the growing storms ...
____________

The helicopter rises as the battleships fly over, Deadshot's vision system locking on to the incoming missiles and fliers as he starts to shoot.

Scenes of the field, the walkers and soldiers advancing, mixed With Sarahs' punches on a spinning Rip.  The helicopter's view and through Deadshot's lock-ons.  Tiny tornadoes swarm the field around the fight, focusing into hits.

At the edge of the file, Swam Thing stands, beginning to sprout growth around the field.  Vise and root begin to tangle the walkers closest to him, then growing further outward.
____________

Constantine walks up behind the amused Hex watching Rip and the Sarahs (dumb band name) in the dusty wind, and passes a bottle joining him.

Hex - "Thanks."  Drinks eying him, "Nice coat."  Passes it back.

Constantine - "You too."  Gesturing toward the growing forest between tangled walkers,   "You know I think I saw a rabbit in them thar woods ..."

Hex - Looking past him, "Yeah ?"  Draws his gun and starts walking ...

A Sara walks up watching the fight and snatches the bottle from Constantine about to drink.

Sara - After the drink, watching hers fight, "Damn I look good."

Constantine - "I wouldn't know anything about that."

Sara - "Whatever.  Your grandma's great's fucking _hot,_ by the way."  Hit's him in the chest with the bottle passing with a gust.

Constantine - "Fine ... _fine !"_  He walks away toward the ops base drinking.
