Synopsis:

Diana returns to Paradise Island where she revels in the company of her Amazon sisters as the Council of Justice debates the books and souvenirs she brought back from Man's World. Pan manipulates Zeus into believing that it is time Zeus favors the Amazons with his godly embrace beginning with Diana. Diana angers Zeus when she respectfully refuses to couple with him. In his anger he strikes down with his lightning. He is prevented from further venting his anger by his wife, Hera. Hera, with the support of the other goddesses convince Zeus to set Diana a series of challenges to prove her worthiness. Diana is promised that Themyscira will know freedom and Diana will learn what her destiny is. If she fails she will be dead. Diana accepts the challenge. She must enter the cavern beneath Paradise Island and face a challenge from each of the gods until recovers Zeus' treasure. Inside the cavern she finds a bullet casing. She easily surpasses her first challenge to continue on to her second. She must face the Hydra.
