Chapter 9-Doomsday
(A/N: Okay before you read this chapter, let me state for the record that this one will have some...M-Rated intimacy between Clark and Diana. Not much, but some! I've never done this before with them and I don't know if its good or if you'll even like it. So in the off chance you don't, I will state for the record that I am sorry, and make up for it with the next chapter. ENJOY!!!)
Diana flew through the air looking for Clark, as she wanted to tell him the news that the Greek Goddess of Wisdom Athena had spoken to the Queen of the Amazons, and herself about in regards to his situation on the island. When the guards first came to tell Queen Hippolyta about what Clark had done, their faces were pale with eyes filled with fear, and thought that the man had finally lost all patience with the Amazons before deciding to use his newly regained demigod like powers against Themyscira.
It took a great deal of Hippolyta's commanding presence to bring her Amazon Sisters back to the warrior women she knew instead of the slightly the frightened woman that had been forced into humiliating actions by Hercules and his men. Since Clark's breakout of the dungeon area, the Queen had ordered search parties to search the entire island to find, and subdue him using magic laced weaponry. Now Hippolyta had to call off those search parties and let Diana find Clark instead to tell him that things had been resolved.
'I wonder where he went. Athena said he was going to stay on the island to help us fight the creature so Clark is still on the island. If I were a man, where would I go?' thought Diana, as she tried to think of where Clark would go now that he was out of the dungeon, and began looking at all the facts before her about him.
One...he was a man.
Two...he was a man, who was put in a dungeon, and held there for being a man.
Three...he was a man, who was put in a dungeon for several days, and did not have a chance to have a bath since then.
By Hera! Clark was taking a bath! Of course!
Instantly upon that realization, Diana quickly flew back to where Clark broke free from the dungeon area while hovering in the sky, and knowing that it would be best to follow the closest body of water with a possible waterfall. They were the best areas to bath in, as her fellow Amazon Sisters went to them on quite a few occasions, and Diana herself did too when the baths in the palace seemed too far away to use.
Following this line of thought, Diana knew that if she were in Clark's position, she would have gone to a bathing area that was a safe distance from the Amazons on the island, and to make sure that her privacy wasn't violated. Looking directly from the position that she was sure Clark had been at upon getting free from the dungeon, Diana knew there was only one area where he would go that was safe, and perfect for bathing to remove any foul smell from one's person.
Not that Clark ever smelled bad in Diana's mind from all the time they were together.
Flying to the spot she could feel within her body was the location Clark was at, Diana didn't realize the implication of what might happen upon her arrival, and what she may see that she had yet to see aside from various illustrations on the male body. When she got to the area, Diana landed near the waterfall before walking towards the natural pool of water, and her eyes widened at the sight that hit her line of vision.
Before her in the pool was Clark Kent, water running down his sculpted upper body that made a strange sensation upon the sight of him like this, and the light that the sun shined down on him made him look all the more Godly. Quickly hiding behind a tree, Diana felt herself being compelled to just watch him, and saw how Clark ran his hands all over his body. The feeling within Diana grew, as she felt herself looking at him hungrily like a predator stalking her prey, and right now Clark looked good enough in her mind...to eat.
As for Clark himself, he was too busy relaxing while bathing to hear Diana's heart now pumping several times faster then usual, or the fact she had figured out where he was since he was hoping the Amazons would think he took off after seeing him take to the sky. Not that he would of course, as the creature Ares was bringing to destroy the island was his responsibility to stop from destroying this island paradise, and all that inhabited it by the good graces of ancient Greek Gods.
Simple right?
'As if it could be that simple. No doubt by now Hippolyta will have told Diana how she was right and that men can never be trusted,' thought Clark, as he knew that even if Diana didn't side with her Mother in regards to his imprisonment, it was possible that she didn't have the same respect for him that she did before, and most likely just keep whatever it was their relationship was slowly turning into being just friends.
That part made Clark feel guilty. He wondered how his parents, who raised him since he was a baby would have looked at this situation, and what they would say to him? Would they be proud he stuck it out so long? Or would they be disappointed in Clark that he did not hold out a little longer until the creature arrived?
Sighing slightly at the jumbled thoughts that ran through his mind, Clark descended into the depths of the water, and closed his eyes to clear his head. Had his head stayed on the water surface a few seconds longer, Clark would have seen Diana move from her hiding spot, and now began removing her own clothing before silently descending into the water to...assist him in bathing.
Since the time the two kissed, even before they kissed, Diana had been feeling this strong overwhelming feeling towards Clark, and it had only gotten stronger since the intense kiss they shared on the beach. She didn't no if it was love, lust, or something in-between that was a sign from the Gods above she prayed to for guidance. All Diana knew was that Clark was special, not because he was the first man she had seen, nor was it that he was the very first handsome one like the Greek heroes of old that were sculpted in the Hall of History, but that his very spirit was pure, and it drew her to him. Part of her held off on this feeling to be more then friends because Diana's Mother wouldn't approve of any such courting between them before and after the creature was vanquished.
At least, it was what Diana thought would happen, but since Athena's announcement, the last few barriers of resistance in the two of them being together had just about vanished within her mind, and the sight of Clark bathing with the sunlight shining on him had just about removed any further restraint she may have felt within her mind. The thought of being close to Clark now before the final showdown with Ares' new demonic weapon that would be sent to crush all she held dear was too much to ignore.
Now may be her one and only chance to be with Clark in a way that she had only heard about from her Amazon Sisters and with someone considered worthy of her royal station.
'I know Clark feels what I feel and I pray to Aphrodite that he will wish to express it like I wish to before our time for battle comes,' thought Diana, as she let the water now slowly consume her body, and meet Clark within it.
It took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the darkness the watery depths provided before she saw him floating in it easily like it held no weight upon his person. From the angle Diana saw Clark, he was just out of her line of sight from his right side, and it gave the Amazon Princess a chance to look at Clark in a whole new way. His eyes were closed at the moment so he couldn't see Diana when she moved more into his field of vision to the point where Clark would see her if he opened his eyes, but for Diana's own eyes he was indeed perfect to her in every way, as she knew the man would be, and felt the pull to be near him increase further.
Slowly, Diana moved closer to him, seeing Clark was still alive from the various hair bubbles that came out of his nose, and the way his muscles seemed to move on their own through that God like body of his that Diana could see screamed of incredible power. She got within arms length of him now, as it allowed her to look at his nude form with the water allowing the detail of his form to be more defined, and actually hesitated to touch his body almost in fear of it breaking like fragile glass that would shatter from her touch.
However, Diana could not stop now after being so close to him, as she reached out fully to touch Clark's chest, and the instant her hand touched his shoulder...his eyes opened wide long enough to Diana's naked form before she moved in to a passionate kiss right on the lips. Shock clearly showing on his face from the both contacts to his physical person, but at the same time, despite the surprise that was there, it didn't change to that of panic, as Clark saw just who it was in the water kissing him, and for some reason beyond his own comprehension the man didn't move to push her away. It was if he could feel the same pull she did to him, as Diana moved her other hand to his left shoulder, and Clark put his hands slowly at her waist before the two slowly rose from the water depths to the surface for some well deserved air.
"Wow!" said Clark, as they reached the surface, and almost in a painfully slow manner separated his lips from Diana.
"Exactly what I was thinking," said Diana, as she guided him back to wall of the naturally made pool, and rested her body against his when his back hit solid dirt.
"To be honest, I didn't think you would have found me this quickly, and given me at least enough time to bath before getting fully clothed," said Clark, as he brought his right hand up, and began stroking Diana's long dark hair.
"Well, from what I saw while underwater, I don't think you have anything to hide that isn't worth seeing Clark, and in my personal opinion you are quite the impressive male specimen for any Amazon to study," said Diana, as she let her left hand wonder a little south to his abs, and massaging them with her fingers while feeling the firmness behind each one that rippled with strength.
"The same could be said for you in terms of being a woman for any man to study," said Clark, as he kissed her forehead, and heard her heartbeat increase from it.
"Yes. My Mother made me from clay when I was a child and asked the Gods to breathe life into me so she may call me her daughter. They answered her prayers by giving me life and one by one they each blessed me with various gifts that were beyond any of my Amazon Sisters. I always felt they blessed me so that one day I will go out into your world and help end the suffering that plagues it," said Diana, as she kissed his neck while slowly moving up to his bearded face, and gave him a kiss on the lips.
"Which would explain the tension between you and your Mother. By the way...where do I stand with her now that I broke out of the dungeon?" said Clark, as he heard Diana let out a small giggle from his beard tickling her face, and she kissed him again with a happy look upon her face.
"Oh my Mother was very mad at you. I've never seen her so mad before in my life, even when I was just a child, and got into mischief with a few of the nymphs on the island. I could tell she wanted all the search parties to find you to bring you back before her so she could remove your male extremities for your actions," said Diana giggling at the nervous look on Clark's face and then laughed when he looked at her with a twinkle in his eye.
"And what about you? Come to seduce me so I drop my guard and then clonk me on the head before dragging me back to your Mother?" said Clark, as he knew that wasn't the reason she was here since IF it was, then she would have done it already, and he would not be like this with her right now.
"No, but it was certainly tempting from what I have seen of you, and no doubt you have seen of me," said Diana, as she moved up his massive form, and her head now hovering over his with her soaking wet breasts touching his upper body.
"Oh yes. Very tempting," said Clark, as he put a hand on her face, and pushed some of her soaking wet hair back.
"As for my Mother, the Goddess of Wisdom Athena came, and told her how disappointed she along with Hera were with how she acted in regards to your stay here on the island. My Mother had been ordered by Athena on the orders of Hera herself to reconsider your position on the island to be that of our honored guests instead of a foul prisoner," said Diana, as she saw the shocked look on Clark's face, and kissed him again on the lips with incredible passion to which he returned once the shock left him.
"So this means I won't be hunted down to be castrated, right?" said Clark after their lips separated, as he saw Diana smirk at him, and saw the mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
"No. Though even if she did give the order, I would personally see to it that you enjoyed your last day with that part of you, and make it a time to remember," said Diana, as she kissed him again, moving her body enticingly around him, and moaned when she felt one of his hands on her lower back that slowly moved lower to her butt.
"Well, I can say without question that practically makes up for losing it if that happened, and I would be forever grateful to you for such a memory," said Clark, as he felt his male extremities starting to stir, and he knew Diana felt it too.
"I'm sure you would be," said Diana, as she moaned again at his touch, and what she felt along her own waist.
By Aphrodite she wanted him so badly.
Slowly, Diana aligned herself with Clark male appendage, and was slowly descended upon it with before Clark's hand on her rear stopped what she had planned.
"Diana wait! Are you sure you want to do this? If what I remember about women is correct, the first time is always the most painful, and I don't want you to be taken by surprise by the sudden pain," said Clark, as he wanted to make sure Diana knew exactly what she was doing may be frowned upon by her Mother, and last he checked Queen Hippolyta ruled theisland.
"Yes! I do. I know what we're about to do and I don't mind giving this gift to you Clark Kent. I don't mind feeling pain to feel the pleasure that will happen afterwards. I want to know what it is like to be in throws of passion with a man, who is special, to give what is considered sacred among my Amazon Sisters to someone worthy of it, and know what it is like to be with a man whose heart shines with a light not unlike the Sun God Apollo himself in the sky," said Diana, as she kissed him again with her tongue, and poured her passion if not her very desire for him into it.
Clark couldn't say no even if he grew a second mouth that appeared on his forehead by one of the Greek Gods themselves.
So without any further resistance, Clark helped Diana lower her waist upon his, and only stopped one more time when they reached the last true barrier that could end this whole thing between them right now. Clark looked at her one last time before she too looked at him with eyes of understanding that there was no going back after this and for what felt like an eternity...the Amazon Princess of Themyscira descended fully down on Clark penis with the male object his anatomy piercing her hymen.
And the pain that followed nothing Diana had felt before.
Sure she got injured from weapons training, as that was a given when training with strict Amazon instructors with one of them being on occasion being your own Mother, and with said Mother wanting her only child to be in top combat performance while being well disciplined before the adolescent teen years. However, this pain was something that even Diana had not suspected, and let out a small cry of pain with Clark held her close to him.
"When you're ready Diana," said Clark, as he hoped Hippolyta never learned of what they were doing now, and if she did...he was not on the island.
Diana breathed deeply, as the pain slowly went away, gritting her teeth slightly from the feeling that Clark had warned her about, and yet believed he was once again more then worthy of being the one to be her first in this for showing such care. As she felt the pain pass, Diana moved her hips again, only this time she received a intense spike of pleasure the Amazon Princess never thought was possible to feel, and she gasped in surprise from it before repeating the action once more.
For Clark, the gasp she let out was clearly a gasp not formed from pain, and when he felt Diana mover her hips again he proceeded to help her by thrusting up into her. The result of such an action was Diana arching her back, her eyes widening in surprise at the rush of pleasure that ran through her body, and that Clark had caused it. Hungry for more, Diana looked down at Clark hungrily, and began to kiss him on the lips more ravenously with Clark wrapping his arms around her before they began to start their rhythmic motions.
Diana never felt anything like this before, but now she could understand what some of her Amazon Sisters had said when they remembered what it was like to enjoy this before Hercules along with his men came to ruin it, and felt herself desiring more. She dug her nails into Clark shoulders, as her actions became more wild, the feeling of pleasure now growing with each thrust motion the two made against the other, and driving the other to untold heights of pleasure.
"Keep going Clark. Don't stop. OH BY HERA!" said Diana, as she felt something within her growing, and growing to the point she thought the feeling would burst within her.
A few more thrusts from Clark and Diana knew she would.
"Diana...I...I can feel myself...getting ready to...to explode!" said Clark, as he had never felt anything like this before, and while not all of his memories of his life had returned he was pretty sure that this was the first time that being so intimate with a woman had been so...so...great!
"Yes! Keep going Clark. Please!" said Diana her mind lost in the sea of the unbelievable pleasure, as she ran her nails down his chest that made little bleeding lines on his chest in the process, and arched her back before crying out in incredible bliss when the sensation of achieving her sexual peak with Clark calling out his name while said man called out hers after achieving his doing the same seconds later.
Seconds later, Diana's body collapsed on top of Clark's own, both were breathing heavily from the experience, covered in sweat that one could mistake for the water they were in, and both were glowing from their shared experience. Diana's left cheek was brushing up against Clark's bearded one, moaning in pleasure at the feeling of the thing tickling her flesh after her orgasm, and began nibbling around his ear causing the man to moan in pleasure.
"I take it you want to do it again?" said Clark, as he saw the hunger in her eyes now, the glow about her that seemed ethereal, and if anything made him feel ready for another round too.
"By Aphrodite I do and I can feel you want to as well," said Diana, as she did in fact feel what it was connected to her from him that had caused so much pleasure within her now awake once more, and it only excited the Amazon Princess further.
"I'd be lying if I said no, but I could never lie to you, and even if I did I bet you'd use that Lasso of Truth on me just for the fun of it to have me say I want to do this again," said Clark, as his one hand that wasn't on her rear moving to one of her breasts gently rubbing massaging it, hearing the Amazon Princess's heartbeat going faster, and hearing the moan that escaped Diana's mouth was only making things more invigorating to him.
"And I to you," said Diana, as she leaned down, kissing him again hungrily, and the two began once more becoming one in a blissful union.
(Royal Palace-The Next Day)
Hippolyta had been concerned about Diana when her daughter didn't return from finding Clark on the island, as she feared that the man had taken off, and her only child following him. Of course, it was her fears that whispered such a possibility into her mind, and while she knew deep down such fears were untrue...they still existed.
Even more troubling was she had to apologize to Clark Kent for locking him away in the dungeons because of his gender and demigod like powers. Was it so wrong of her to wish to protect her only child, much less her Amazon Sisters on the island from such man, and keep things the way they have always been for the past two millennia since Themyscira was first founded with the help of the Gods?
Surely the answer was yes to all those things? Right?!
"Queen Hippolyta, the Princess has returned and she's come back with the man!" said one of the Amazon guards assigned to the corridors and saw the Queen nod slowly before she walked out of her chambers to meet them both.
When Hippolyta met them, she stopped for a second, and frowned at the sight of them with a sense that something was clearly different between the two. Diana was happy, her eyes shining with joy that Hippolyta has not seen in a long time, and while the Queen was happy to see her child so happy...the signs of battle did concern her. Looking over at the man, Hippolyta noted Clark Kent looked just as happy as Diana, but also showed signs of fighting, and wondered what had happened between the two to cause injury to both of them?
"I see you are back my daughter and with Clark Kent as well," said Hippolyta, as she chose to hold off the questions behind the battle scars they now had, and not ask them of it right away.
"Yes my Queen. Clark had flown to one of the bathing areas to clean himself since he had been in the dungeons for so long," said Diana, as she saw her Mother now raise an eyebrow, and the look at Clark with piercing eyes.
"I was in the dungeon for a quite a bit of time before I broke out your majesty. I would prefer to not to possess a power that causes me to take down my foes by smelling bad," said Clark a bit sheepishly and Diana giggled a bit before seeing the look the Queen was giving them.
"And your...wounds?" said Hippolyta, as she saw some bruising on Diana's body, and scratches on Clark's right shoulder leading across his chest only to be hidden by his clothes.
"Oh that! Umm...well after I had bathed, Diana arrived shortly after I got cleaned up, and thought we could do some sparring before doing a little bit earlier today to make up for the days I missed while locked away in the dungeon," said Clark, as he appeared to be nervous in front of the Queen's piercing eyes to make it seem like they got a bit out of hand in their sparring, and appear to be regretful in letting it happen.
Though in truth neither Clark nor Diana regretted it at all.
"Yes. So I see. Both of you should head over to the Healing Isle immediately to get your injuries healed since you need to be in perfect health for what Ares arrives with his prized monster," said Queen Hippolyta, as she saw the two nod, and was still a bit surprised to see both of them take to the air so easily.
"You sense something off with them my Queen?" said General Phillipus, as she saw the happy expression that was on Diana's face, and had a glow upon her that she had not seen from the Princess in so long.
"I don't know. Contact Epione and have her report to me anything unusual about either of their injuries," said Hippolyta, as she now narrowed her warrior eyes at the flying pair, and she involuntarily gripped her golden scepter.
Hippolyta had every intention of apologizing to Clark Kent for her actions, but until she knew what the two did when they were alone the previous day, the Queen decided to wait a little bit longer, and find out what it was that made her only child so happy before being so apologetic to the man.
(Healing Isle-Sometime Later)
Clark was treated first by Epione despite the Amazon woman's desire to heal Diana first, but the Amazon Princess insisted Clark be healed first since he had more "injuries", and an order from the Princess of the Amazons could not be challenged by the Chief Healer. So Epione did just that, as she used the Purple Ray on him, and then went to treat Diana while Clark waited outside to give them their privacy since Epione's healing required that her patient be nude.
"You seem to be in high spirits then usual Diana," said Epione casually, as she put some healing ointments on Diana's arms, and her torso while secretly obeying the orders given by the Queen before the two had arrived. The reason she gave Clark the Purple Ray and not Diana was because Epione needed to examine the Amazon Princess's body with her own expert eyes.
"Yes I am. Athena came before me and my Mother before telling her that she had nearly lost favor with the Gods for putting Clark in the dungeons," said Diana, which made the Chief Healer gasp, and nearly drop the jar of ointment.
"She did? I did not know," said Epione, as she continued her treatment before casting a side glance at the shut door that Clark was behind, and realized the Gods had sent him here for a reason.
"Yes. I was shocked to hear it myself. Athena gave my Mother a challenge to complete to regain the Gods full favor, but for reasons I cannot say, I must not reveal what it is, and keep it a secret for now," said Diana, as the real reason behind it was that Clark would hear what it was if she told Epione, and the Amazon Princess didn't want her Mother to give an apology that he would already be expecting after hearing her tell Epione with his super hearing.
"I see. Princess, if I may be so bold to say this, but some of these injuries don't look like they were caused by sparring with the man, and some of the bruising looks like you were grabbed roughly," said Epione, as she saw the bruises were healing, and that Diana's face had suddenly become flushed.
"Oh yes, we did do a little grappling since we will most likely have to with the creature, and match its strength with our own," said Diana, as she remembered how Clark took her after being the one on top for so long, and loved every second of it.
"I see. Princess, I hate to accuse you of this, but...have you been...intimate with the man, and given him your virginity?" said Epione, her voice calm, yet held a hint of concern in knowing what she was asking her Princess was personal, and feared the answer that she would soon receive was not the one she wanted.
"Epione I...I...," said Diana, as she realized that the cover they used to cover up the signs of their love making actions by saying it was from sparring, and saw Epione looking at her with a mixture of emotions.
"A yes will do Princess. Oh Diana, when the Queen learns of this, and with the first man you have ever seen of all people...," said Epione, as she had not expected this, and yet the signs had all been there.
"Epione you can't! If you do, then my Mother's challenge will be in endanger of not being complete, and she will lose all favor from the Gods," said Diana, as she knew her Mother would never apologize to Clark if she learned what they did, and instead behead him for his actions that were mostly her fault.
"Princess, the man violated you, and took your innocence!" said Epione, as she could not believe that Diana would once more defend the man, and wondered what spell had been cast upon her.
"Clark did not violate me Epione. I gave him my innocence willingly," said Diana, as she wasn't going to be ashamed of her actions since she was a grown woman, and could make her own decisions in life.
"Gave it to him willingly? By the Gods my Princess, what possessed you to do that?" said Epione, as she was shocked to hear what her Princess did, and wondered if the man had some kind of power to force someone into mindless submission.
"Because Epione I...I love him. I know Clark had only been on the island for such a short time, but in the time that he has been here, and I have been around him I have felt a pull beyond anything I ever felt before. And do not say it is because he is the first man I have met Epione because that is not the case despite what you're thinking. Can you honestly say any other man would be so kind, so willing to tolerate our prejudice because of his gender, and willingly go to the dungeons on the orders of my Mother the Queen of the Amazons? Clark may have taken my innocence Epione, but I offered it to him, and he even then he asked me if it was what I wanted. How many men would have asked that to me rather then take it without question Epione?" said Diana, as she saw Epione become silent at her words, and saw a conflict within the Chief Healer before she let out a sigh.
"None my Princess. You are right. No man would have done all that Clark Kent has done. Any other man in his position would have fought back against us. I suppose...Clark Kent is worthy of being your...lover," said Epione, as she had seen Diana happy around Clark, and even happier after they did that!
"Please don't tell my Mother about this Epione. Clark means so much to me and is vital to the safety of Themyscira. She may be the Queen of the Amazons, but what Clark, and I did is not something related to our royal stations," said Diana, as she saw Epione sigh, and conceded to her request in the matter.
"I won't tell her my Princess, but I think eventually that you should tell her about this, and hope she doesn't wish to seek Clark Kent out to...remove a certain part of him for it," said Epione, as she saw Diana look grim at that since such news being told to the Queen of the Amazons about her only child, and daughter losing her innocence to a man was not the kind of news that the Amazon Princess wanted to tell her Mother anytime soon.
Even more so that the man responsible was also the one they showed mercy to when he landed on the island near death.
"I will tell her eventually, but not until later in the distant future, and not a day sooner," said Diana, as she saw Epione nod, and then go back to healing the rest of her "injuries".
"Fair enough. Here. Drink this to prevent any possible pregnancy from the man's seed," said Epione, as she saw Diana blush, but took the drink anyway, and had some to make the Chief Healer happy.
'It's not like I can have children, but knowing Epione, she would have me drink it anyway just to be safe, and not reveal to my Mother what I did,' thought Diana, as she was made from clay by her Mother, and did have not have the normal "female cycles" that women did when it came to times in their lives to conceive a child.
(Themyscira-Several Days Later)
"Today is the day," said Hippolyta to General Phillipus, who was standing behind her while she looked over the island from the balcony that was connected to her bedroom, and would be lying if she told her most trusted General that she wasn't afraid.
In truth...Queen Hippolyta was terrified!
"Yes. That is what Clark Kent said from what Hera herself told him. Diana has already been given the battle armor and began to dress herself in it when I left her quarters," said Phillipus, as she saw Hippolyta nod while looking over the island she had ruled for over for the last two millennia.
"Yes. And the man himself? Where is he?" said Hippolyta, as she had asked Epione if anything had happened between the two aside from their time alone sparring, and the Chief Healer had told her that Diana's body was in perfect condition.
"Considering we could give him so little, the best we could give Clark Kent was shin, and arm guards to help give him some kind of edge when fighting the monster," said Phillipus though it was a bit difficult since the man's arms, and legs were much bulkier then most of the sizes they had.
"Some form of armor is better then none," said Hippolyta, as she knew that Clark would need every bit of help he could get when fighting the creature, and prayed it would give him the edge he needed since he would need to survive this so she could apologize to him for her past treatment upon his person while on Paradise Island.
There was a long pause between the two Amazon Sisters.
"Permission to speak freely my Queen?" said Phillipus, as she suddenly felt the need to say something, and it may not be what the Queen would allow.
"You may, but I cannot remember the last time you asked me for such permission, and even now under such dire times," said Hippolyta, as she turned to see Phillipus looking concerned now, and suspected it was something regarding Diana.
"It's about Diana. When this is over, the Gods wish her to become our Champion, and our Ambassador to the outside world. She does not know about that part and you have yet to tell her that much about the battle armor. She will wear it to the outside world, battle evil forces that are not just of man's creation, but some that are of women too, and understand how people live there from the time we did. Why have you not told her?" said Phillipus, as she saw Hippolyta stiffen, and knew this was going to be tough for the Queen to give her an answer.
"Because, I...I don't want Diana to know the truth about the battle armor's true intentions just yet Phillipus due to the upcoming battle, and I don't want her to become unfocused with thoughts of going out there when she needs to focus on defending what is here," said Hippolyta, as she said the last word with a purpose behind it, and Phillipus caught on what she was referring to.
"You're hoping the battle with Ares' monster will make her question the idea of leaving the island and change her mind in leaving the island," said Phillipus, as she now saw the reasoning behind Hippolyta's actions, and once more trying to keep the Amazon Princess contained on the island.
"What I hope for at this point is irrelevant Phillipus. All that really matters, is that Diana survive this, and live to perform the duties of her royal station," said Hippolyta before looking back at the view of the island and then heard the battle horn sound that was soon followed by the roar of the monster Ares brought to their shores.
"It's here," said Phillipus, as she knew her Amazon Sisters were armoring themselves for battle, and could see Diana along with Clark flying towards the creature destination.
"Prepare my own armor, sword, and two special items that are in our possession given to us by the Gods. Let it not be said that the Queen of the Amazons just sat back to let her Amazon Sisters die while she watched like a frightened child fight Ares' monster," said Hippolyta knowing only the special items she spoke of would allow her to help Diana and Clark for when she planned to fight the terrible creature.
"Yes my Queen," said Phillipus, as she hurried to get what Hippolyta, and silently prayed to the Gods this would end quickly with no casualties.
(With Ares-Moments Earlier)
The Greek God of War looked around the island with a sneer on his face, as he looked at the beauty the island held while looking at on the beachhead, and then at his new pet that seemed to hate almost as much as he did. Of course, this action would get his dear Father Zeus, and his oh so loving Mother Hera on his case with dear half-sister Athena calling for him to be punished.
Fortunately, the rules of balance stated he, and/or anyone of his minions having his mark of submissive loyalty were not allowed on the island. Since Doomsday did not have such a mark, which was meant to get around the rule, and because the creature had to receive the mark willingly with the creature not being restrained.
Ares planned to do that after Doomsday was done here.
"This place is filled with such happiness and joy. I hate it," said Doomsday, as it felt its blood burning, and bloodlust growing increasingly higher at the sight of all this...life!
"You and me both. Now remember, you are currently on an island, and that means I am the only one that can get you off of it. If you disobey me, I will leave you here to die a slow, and agonizing death alone without anyone to kill," said Ares, as he saw the creature look at him with demonic snarl on its face, and yet it nodded knowing that the Greek God of War had him in an unwelcome situation.
"You told me the weakling I fought is here. I will kill him along with all those that he hold dear on this island. I will make watch, as I rip their flesh from their bones, and rip out their hearts before licking my hands clean of their blood. Only then, after his spirit is broken, will I destroy his body, and then end his pathetic life!" said Doomsday, as it heard the sound a horn being blown in the distance, and saw the Amazon currently on a horse that was the source of it.
"I won't keep you then. Go play and fun!" said Ares like he would a child and motioned for Doomsday to do what he did best.
To maim and kill all that stood against him.
"I intend to," said Doomsday, as it charged forward, its every step shaking the ground, and roared demonically with the intent of destroying all that was before him.
(Above Doomsday)
"By Hera, the monster is more horrible then even the scribe drew upon the description you gave, and I did not believe that was possible," said Diana, as she was in the Amazon Battle Armor given to her by Pallas, and new Amazon bracelets forced from Zeus' shield that were indestructible.
"Yeah. Even my memories of him seem tame compared to now," said Clark, as he felt a small trickle of fear run up his spine knowing that this thing nearly killed him, and that a part of him felt this creature was getting a second chance at him.
'He's slightly afraid. Not that I blame him. Even I, a trained Amazon warrior, blessed by the Gods am afraid, and yet when I look at Clark...I feel a fire in me to fight beside him I could not even begin to describe,' thought Diana, as she looked from Clark to the vile evil creature below intent on killing her Amazon Sisters, Clark, and herself upon fighting it.
"Nevertheless, I will do everything in my power to protect this island, and your Amazon Sisters from this creature," said Clark, as he looked at Diana, and cast the fear of death out of his mind to focus on the person before him that would help cast it out of his mind.
"I know you will. I have no doubt that this creature will fall at our hands Clark. Together we can save the island, my sisters, and thwart Ares' plan," said Diana before seeing the creature get closer, and clenched her fist tightly knowing this was going to be a test to see if she had what it took to face the outside world.
"That's the spirit! Now then...how about you and I do some thwarting," said Clark with a smile on his bearded face and Diana returned it.
"Yes. Let's," said Diana before the two flew down towards Doomsday with the creature seeing them and preparing itself to crush them both.
They had come to it at last.
(A/N: YAY! I updated! Again, if the romantic intimacy between the two is not up to your standards of what you perceive of Clark and Diana with his time on the island...then I am sorry. I will make it up to you in the next chapter by giving you an all out slugfest with Doomsday. Until next time...PEACE!!!)
