Author's Note: Okay people, here we go. We're coming to the part where Diana crosses No Man's Land, one of my favorite parts in the film. Hope you guys enjoy my take on it, and let me know what you think.

Chapter Eleven: No Man's Land.

The next day the group packed up their supplies and made their way to the trenches. They crossed a few miles before arriving at the wooden trenches, finding more weary and weak looking men. The soldiers were mud covered and appeared in poor health, showing they had been out here for quite some time.

Tom heard the men speak of how this was hopeless, and how they wish it would end soon. Listening to their words, Tom was a bit behind the group, walking slowly through the tight space. He couldn't imagine living like this, being unable to do anything but sit and hide. Sure they had food, could play card or smoke, but this was not a life worth living.

Tom glanced up and spotted Diana talking with a woman. The woman's clothes where torn and had mud stains around her skirt. She sat and clutched at her child, sobbing a little as she she spoke. Tom stood off to the side as the woman was telling Diana how they town was invaded by the Germans and how the people there were being forced to work against their will.

Tom let Jerry down and looked at Diana, who stood tall. She went over to Steve and the guys, wanting them to hear what was going on. However Steve seemed busy speaking to an army commander.

"Steve, we have to help these people, they are being held against their will. If we can get across this ground, I think we can free them." said Diana getting the pilot's attention. He sighed heavily and looked at her with troubled eyes, hating to ruin her plans.

"Diana, This is No Man's Land, which means no man can cross it...The battalion have been here for nearly a year and haven't gained an inch, an inch. Because on the other side are Germans pointing machine guns at every square inch of this place. This is not something you can cross..This is not something you can cross, it's not possible." said Steve trying to convince Diana to let it be. He saw the way the injured men looked and the last thing he wanted, was to see Diana in the same position. Sure she was tough, but he didn't know if she could hold her own against machine guns.

"So what we do nothing?.." said Diana with a frown on her face, enraged by his words. She thought Steve and her were on the same page, and to hear this hurt her. Helping these people was what she came her to do, what she left home for. To be told it was impossible made her all the more determined to prove him wrong.

"No, we are doing something, we are...It's just we can't save everyone in this war..This is not what we came here to do." said Steve waving his hands around to make a point, finding it hard to deal with the strong willed woman. Having enough he turned to leave, walking on ahead, assuming she would follow.

Tom frowned and glanced at Jerry, who cast his eyes down to join his human friend. Tom sighed and glanced over to Diana, wondering what their next move was. Diana looked away and placed the tiara across her forehead.

"No, but it is what I came here to do..I fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.." said Diana letting her cloak fall, revealing her red and blue armor, making the people by her gasp. She got her shield and placed her hands on the wooden ladder, slowly climbing it. "Com on Tom, we have a town to save.."

With a nod Tom went to the ladder beside her and started to climb, gaining the attention of the men in the trench. On the ground they sat, there tired eyes showed the slightest glimmer of hope, getting the sense Diana wasn't just some random woman. Steve was a few steps away talking with a soldier, when a man tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hey buddy, your friend is leaving you.." said the man, pointing to Diana who was reaching the top of the ladder. Steve turned with wide eyes, wanting to stop the woman from leaving the safety of the trenches.

"Diana!" shouted Steve with fear in his voice for her, knowing once she stepped out there she was on her own and he would be unable to help her. Jerry whirled about and was shocked to see the cat joining the woman, showing no fear in the face of danger. Tom reached the ladder's top and looked at Diana, sharing a small smile with her. With a nod Diana let Tom know it was time to leave the ladder and step onto the land.

The two rose over the trenches horizon and placed a feet onto No Man's Land, feeling the gravel move under their weight. Many man gasped as the two walked on with no fear, holding no gun, but only a shield and sword.

Diana and Tom crossed the ground, doing the hero's walk. (The part in the movie where the hero takes up arms and fights for good.) They weren't fighting for vengeance, or taking responsibility for their powers. They were just heroes who wanted to help mankind for no reason, other then it was what they knew and what they connected with. Some would say they looked like runway models, but to many they were a heroes. Heroes we all should all strive to be, not because of how they look, but how they act.

A small breeze blew through, making Diana's hair flow behind her. Tom felt his whiskers and fur move as the wind passed over him. The scent it brought was a mixture of gun powder and smoke, along with the smell of blood and death. All around them were post with barb wire fence, sticking out all over the place. From the rain, there were hollows with large mud puddles.

The two pushed through and went on, with one goal in mind. To save the town and free its people.

In the German trench, a watchman looked up and thought he saw something coming from the enemies line. He grabbed his binoculars and saw Diana and Tom walking over to them, appearing very serious in each step. With wide eyes he leaned back and peered through them again, making sure what he saw was real and not just some hallucination. After all he and the men had been there for about a year, watching and waiting to shot the enemy down. Seeing the two were real, he dropped the binoculars and glanced down to the other men who lay in the wooden trench.

"Sir, Sir their sending a surprise, a-kind of arousing attack!" stated the watchman, pointing out in the direction the two were coming from. The leader glanced out through a telescope and saw them, seeing the gladiator dressed pair holding a shield and sword. With a raised brow he turned to the watchman, thinking over his earlier statement.

"When you said arousing, I hope you were referring to the woman.." said the leader, dropping his binoculars to his chest. The watchman gulped and glanced about nervously, making the leader roll his eyes.

"Umm, yes, sure sir.." said the man slowly, obviously lying through his teeth. Without another word the leader went to get his men ready. He went to a siren and turned the handle, fill the air with a loud high pitched sound.

"Fire men, Fire! We're being under attack!" yelled the leader, making the men scramble to their feet, getting in their positions. The men hurriedly got to the machine guns, getting the shells in order. While a group did that two men shot off a pair of rifles, aiming to the woman and cat.

Across the battle field Tom ears flickered as a loud wooing sound made him cringed. Diana stopped and waited for him, making sure he was okay to go forward. With a nod by the feline they went on.

The bullets from the rifles flew through the air and both the woman and cat lifted their cuffs, blocking the bullet from hitting them. Sparks flew as the little shells were bounced right off, sent to the side. A few more bullets came at them, but they kept sending the shells away.

'I and Diana are from the Themyscira, and your wrath upon this world is, OH!' started Tom in tough tone until more bullets flew at them, making him stop his speech.

Diana walked and started to run, blocking the fire with her arms, filling the air with loud pining sounds as the rain of fire kept at them. The pair were shot with so much gunfire, they found it harder and harder to block, resulting in them pulling their shields off to protect themselves. A bomb flew through the air and while Tom shielded her from the bullets, Diana set the football sized bomb to her left, where it exploded. They kept going and tried to keep from being hit, and when the machine guns opened fire, the crossing became much more difficult.

The shells ricocheted of the shied and flew to the ground, making loud pinging sounds as they hit the metal. The pair slowly came to a stop where they were force to stop. Diana grunted and saw Tom being pushed back a few inches by the force of the powerful hits. She stood strong and hoped with any luck they would run out of bullets and she and Tom could get to the village. Unbeknownst to her, the Germans had plenty of fire power, and could go at this for hours.

Back in the Allied trenches, Steve saw Diana and Tom struggle to stand from the many guns that were being shot at them. He knew they were sitting ducks if they went out, yet he couldn't let Diana do this alone. He made her a promise after all and he still felt the need to be by her side. With a determined expression he climbed the ladder and held a rifle up to get everyone's attention. Chief, Sameer and Charlie would follow him into battle, but he also needed the help of the army.

"Come on men, stop hiding in the trenches like a bunch of little girl, let's go out and fight like Wonder Woman!" yelled Steve railing the men to join in on the fight, raising the gun high above his head. Chief, Sameer and Charlie climbed up first, following Steve onto No Man's Land, with guns raised.

The other men seeing their bravery stood from the wooden trench and reached for their weapons. Several more did the same and like ants they clambered up the wooden ladders and out onto the field, yelling a loud battle cry. It was an amazing sight as the men who were beaten down, at long last find the will to fight on. Hundreds of men flew forward, shooting at the Germans in the opposite trench, racing across the dirt land. Some were shot and fell, but the ones who remained went on.

Over the small hills they went, running through the puddles, pass the barb wire fence, over the bodies of lost men, aiming their weapons. They shot and smoke filled the air, and though the cloud came the men.

Diana and Tom were staying strong, and when they heard the sound of the Allied Forces coming to aid them, they smiled happily at each other. They stayed and kept the fire focused on them, while Chief threw a hand grenade into a group of Germans. The bomb went off and killed the gunmen, and when the gun fire was stopped by the Diana jumped through the air and landed in the enemies trench, knocking out the men, and destroying an automatic machine gun.

Tom leaped and spun through the air, crushing the machine with a blow from his fist. He used his shied and knocked out a few guys before the shield came back like boomerang. With it in his grasp Tom smiled down to the surprised Germans. It was weird they were the enemy, yet they were similar to the other men he'd met. Still he had a duty to stick to and with that he attacked.

By the time the Allied forces reach them, the two were already to move on to the next job. Diana leaped up and looked down to see Steve and Jerry standing in the German trench, returning the kind gaze. It warmed her to see the pilot following her into battle like this, showing he really believed in her. She also saw Chief, Sameer and Charlie, who seemed surprised by the woman. Sure the men saw her wipe the floor with the guy back at the pub, but never did they imagine she could take on a whole army. Seeing her new friends behind her, Diana raised her sword to the town.

"Come on Steve we're almost there." encouraged Diana jumping on ahead in great bounds, passing over the enemy. The astounded Germans ducked and stayed low as the warrior woman passed over them. Steve with a nod quickened his breath and gestured for his group to follow. The team pressed on and climbing in and out of the trenches that lay between them and the town. Over the grassy land they spotted the village not too far away.

Tom seeing Diana leave, jumped high through the air, moving gracefully from hill to hill. He jumped over a trench and saw the Germans staring up at him, in a playful mood Tom winked and smiled at them as he passed over. He caught up with the group and jumped over head, landing in front of them, wanting to catch up with the Amazonian, knowing they worked better as a team.

In one of the building, guard were posted to keep an eye out, in the off change the enemy got past the trenches. The men sat around and smoked, or read the paper. All seemed well until one man looked up out the window. He saw a woman and a small group of men coming across the field. He got to his feet, but the others payed him no attention. They assumed he had to relieve himself, so they kept busy with what they were doing.

The man went to the window and leaned over, squinting to get a better look at the group. Seeing the men weren't from the German side, he gasped.

"We're being invaded, get your guns!" shouted the man, turning to the others, who did nothing. "What are you waiting for, get up off your butts!"

"Oh, come on you can't pull that old gag over us." said a man, smoking his cigarette, breathing out a cloud of smoke.

"Yeah, you can't pull the wool over our eyes." said another, not even dropping his paper.

"You idiots, I'm serious, look for yourselves!" bellowed the man, pointing out the window to the approaching group.

"Holy crap!" yelled one, dropping his mug and getting to his feet. There was a mad scramble as the men went to their posts, getting the guns set up.

It was weird they got this far, and no one had tried to shot at them, still the group went on. Tom and Diana were in the lead, followed closely by the men.

They were on the edge of the town when gunmen in the building ahead fired down at them, making them take cover. Diana, Sameer and Charlie took cover by the first brick building, while Tom shielded Chief, Steve and Jerry before joining them behind the second building. The men passed glances from each other, trying to think of what to do next. Shells hit the brick and shattered into shards. The men went back and forth, however Diana already had a plan.

"I'll go first.." said Diana glancing about to the astounded men before standing and leaving. she was only a few feet away when she spoke out to the feline. "Come on Tom.."

Tom without hesitation gave Jerry a wink and a smile before he got up and trailed behind Diana. Sameer and Charlie gave Steve a cross ways glance, still impressed by the woman and her skills. With a shrug Steve just gave them a small smile.
