My opponent plays Elder Dragon and targets my two units at the two battlefields, as well as one of my units in base. If I play Flash in reaction, moving the two units at battlefields to base, will they be dealt damage?

No. Elder Dragon's effect has targeting restrictions for each location separately. Moving units to different locations breaks those restrictions. Units that no longer fulfill targeting restrictions will be unaffected by the ability as it resolves.

I play Alpha Strike targeting my Master Yi, Unstoppable and splitting 12 damage among three of the four enemy units at battlefields. If my opponent plays Flash in reaction, moving two of the targeted units to base, can they then play Repulse and counter my Alpha Strike?

No, unless units move to non-board zones. Targeting relationships persist even when targets no longer fulfill restrictions. Units at base still count toward Repulse's requirement. Only movement to non-board zones severs the relationship entirely per rule 359.3.e.3.

What happens if my opponent plays Flash on their Akali, Silent in combat after I play Star-Crossed targeting her?

Star-Crossed resolves to no effect. Akali, Silent is untargetable by enemy spells and abilities while not in combat. If she becomes untargetable after being chosen and stays that way as the effect resolves, it mistargets her: she is unaffected by its instructions, and any instruction that chooses only her is ignored.
