"We know so much more than we understand," a voice says, "but we know so little." It is then shown that the one monologuing is Lex Luthor and standing next to him is Doctor Fate and Mister Mxyzptlk. "Many believe the white light you see when you die is the supercharged electric whimper of a desperate and dying brain. Synaptic death. That brilliant, blinding light is God. And he has been with us all along." It is then shown several people talking to them.

"We are beyond." One of them said. "Dreamers, destroyers, all of reality our whim. Who dares stand before us?"

"I. Lex Luthor."

The DC Multiverse is dying. 50 Earths have already been destroyed. Only Earth 1 and Earth 2 remain. Today, Earths collide.

On Earth 1, the Justice League is trying to save everyone from the invasion forces of Earth 2. Meanwhile, at the Earth 1 Hall of Justice, Superman, Lois Lane, Superboy, Firestorm, Aquaman, and Batman are working on a project they believe could save all of humanity. "Looks like the situation has gone from bad to worse." Superboy said. "Ready to go, Firestorm?"

"The supplies are prepped, and we're done packing Johnathan. But the professor looked over the lab specs. Are you sure we need all this food?"

"When we realized that mankind was doomed, we built this life-raft in the hopes of restarting humanity." Batman pointed out.

"But it is not going to matter if the chosen team starves to death in the first month." Superman said.

"Speaking of which, what is the E.T.A. on our real cargo, Lois?" Aquaman asked.

"They're due any minute, Arthur. But that was before the rain started. I'll check in."

"Who all is on this team anyway?" Firestorm asked.

"Black Canary, Green Arrow, Zatanna, Jim Gordon, Hawkman and Hawkgirl, Mera, Mr. and Mrs. Kent, John Constantine, Shazam, Batgirl, Tim Drake, Cyborg, Catwoman, Nightwing, basically most of the Justice League and Teen Titans, as well as many of the world's top scientists." Batman said.

"As for Barry Allen, Martian Manhunter, Hal Jordan, and Wonder Woman, Batman has reverse-engineered Cyborg's mother-box technology so that we could pull the four of them here." Superman stated.

"Courier One this is the Hall of Justice calling for a status update. Black Canary, Batgirl, do you copy?"

Meanwhile, aboard a transport vehicle, Black Canary and Batgirl are taking the heroes and scientists to the Hall of Justice. "Yeah, we copy. We're having to take a longer, less explosive route." Batgirl said.

How did exfiltration go?

"We just spent an hour literally tearing families apart. So, it went exactly as expected. No one is taking it well. Two of the scientists even changed their minds and decided to stay. I am sending you the final passenger list now."

Back at the Hall of Justice, "Barbara says five minutes. And we lost Doctors Wilson and Fiddler." Lois Lane said.

"Specialists in chemistry and physics." Superman said. "Luckily Batman's chemistry expertise and Professor Stein and Barry Allen's knowledge of physics should make up for it. Let's start the launch countdown. Aquaman, can you…"

"Yes. Two scenarios. One, everything goes according to plan and once everyone else is on board, we pull back Martian Manhunter, Barry Allen, Hal Jordan, and Wonder Woman. Two, everything goes wrong, but we'll still have to pull back the four of them."

On Earth 2 Metropolis, Reverse-Flash is talking to a select group of villains. The group consists of Darkseid, Joker, Black Adam, Cheetah, Bane, Steppenwolf, and Desaad. "The diversion has run its course." Reverse-Flash said. "Is the build complete?"

"Earth 2 has erected a temporal bubble to buy themselves time." Joker said. "But they have not yet emerged."

"It seems your fastest is not fast enough." Black Adam said. "And you continue to disappoint in two worlds. Do something!"

"I could hack into Earth 2's defense system. Release the full invasion force. Give me a second, literally." Just then, a bunch of technologically advanced ships begin to attack the Earth 1 Metropolis. Wally West is watching this and makes a run for it.

In Gotham City, the Iceberg Lounge, many villains have been invited by penguin to watch the world around them die. The villains include Ra's al-Ghul, Riddler, Hugo Strange, Scarecrow, Killer Croc, Mister Freeze, Poison Ivy, Deathstroke, and Deadshot. But then a guy appears behind them. "Ahem. Ladies, gentlemen, they say when you die, you can't take stuff with you, which begs the question, what am I going to do with these bullets?" The figure turns out to be Red Hood, who cocks his AK-47, and fires on everyone.

Back in Metropolis, the transport carrying the heroes gets hit by one of Earth 2's missiles. "Hall of Justice, this is Courier One, we are under fire, I repeat, we are under fire! Lois, I am sorry… but we're not going to make it. You're on your own now." The transport crashes.

In the Hall of Justice, Superman is stunned by what he heard. Aquaman activates the teleporter. "Attention, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter, the teleporter is active, activate your beacons."

At the Daily Planet, Wonder Woman activated her beacon. A beam of light came from the Hall of Justice and teleported her.

At S.T.A.R. Labs, Flash activates his beacon. A beam of light hit Flash and teleported him.

At the Lexcorp Building, Green Lantern activates his beacon. A beam of light hits Green Lantern and teleports him.

At Arkham Asylum in Gotham City, Martian Manhunter activates his beacon. A beam of light hits him and Martian Manhunter is teleported.

In the wreckage of Courier One, Green Arrow, who managed to survive the crash, activates his emergency beacon. A beam of light hits him and Green Arrow is teleported.

Back at the Hall of Justice, Lois Lane, Superboy, and Firestorm have just boarded the life-raft. "Sound off." Superman said. "Superman."

"Batman."

"Wonder Woman."

"Flash."

"Green Lantern."

"Aquaman."

"Martian Manhunter."

"Green Arrow." The Justice League was shocked to see that Oliver Queen survived the crash.

"Good to see you still alive, Ollie." Flash said.

"Alright, let's go, before it is too late." Batman said.

Meanwhile, on Earth 2, another life-raft was released. "Life-raft away!" Someone said. Inside the life-raft are the select villains, now calling themselves the Society. Reverse-Flash, Joker, Darkseid, Desaad, Steppenwolf, Cheetah, Bane, and Black Adam.

"Some people call it theft, Darkseid," Reverse-Flash said, "but if you take something and make it better… well, I've always believed a bit of appreciation and no small amount of gratitude are in order. Besides, it is not everyday that you really learn something."

"And what has the apocalypse taught you, Reverse-Flash?" Darkseid asked.

"That somethings refuse to die."

Back at the Hall of Justice, the life-raft is ready to launch. "The planet's surface is fracturing, Superman." Aquaman said.

"Alright everyone, strap in!" Batman shouted.

"Are we going to make it, Bruce?" Superman asked.

"Yes, barely." A lot of rumbling could be heard. "Lantern, where are we on structural integrity?"

"92% Batman."

"Well in the raft's safety threshold." Flash said.

"The center point of the incursion gives us our best chance to…" Wonder Woman said before she was interrupted. Lightning strikes the raft causing a section to break off. The section holding Superboy, Firestorm, and Lois Lane. Superman looks and sees Firestorm making a force field around the section but struggling. However, the shield doesn't hold. Superman watches as the section is destroyed.

"NO!" Superman shouted. The two earths then collide, causing a bright light that engulfed both universes. All of reality, gone. All 52 Earths, destroyed. Nothing left. Nothing. But then something happens, like a pair of eyes opening, but only for a millisecond.
