Batman: World Of the Amazons

Chapter 2: A New World

Batman looked at Superman through the glass. It was too late. The bomb was disarmed though and Vandal Savage's plan had failed. The league had done it again, they would all be safe.

What will happen to me? Am I about to die? Bruce thought as he saw the lightning start to spark.

His brain showed him his parents' death. He saw himself making the vow. Training over the world. The first time he donned the cowl. The alien invasion that led to the formation of the league. Everything.

Does this mean I'm for sure going to die? he thought, Is one's life flashing before their eyes indicating that true death is coming? Or rather, one's conviction is set that they will most likely be dying?

Did Wonder Wo ...Diana… think these thoughts when it happened to her? We had just started to know each other. Did she feel this fear?

All these thoughts ran through Bruce's mind in milliseconds. Time seemed as slow as molasses.

Bruce gave his small smile to the Man of Steel and mouthed, "We won" With a reassuring nod. Before anything else could be conveyed though, the white light cut Batman's view from Superman on the ground.

Batman almost smirked, seeing that much emotion on the Big Blue Boy Scout's face, he really did care for Bruce a lot...and Bruce him.

The machine began to shake and vibrate. An unknown force seemed to push Bruce to one knee. He grunted in frustration but then after another moment his efforts turned into screams of pain.

"AUGGHHH!" Bruce screamed, no one was there to hide his pain from and it was also the most intense form of pain he had ever felt. It was like the teleporter for the watchtower, but so much different. Whereas the watchtower felt like it disassembled you piece by piece and put you back together like the most efficient Lego set, this felt like a knife was cutting and splitting his entire essence down to the atoms. It felt like he was being shattered and ground into dust and sucked through the most infinitesimally small opening that could possibly exist.

His mind was the last to feel it and he screamed like an animal on the verge of death as his vision turned to one of complete and utter blackness. Bruce was comfortable in the dark but this time, as his vision blurred to oblivion, he was scared. What was next?

"...WhEre Do yOu ThinK ThIs ONe cAMe Fro…"

"Who Kno…"

"oNly a Man…."

Bruce felt hot. He could feel the sun against his suit, in the middle of the day the black material could get very warm. He could see the orange glow through his eyelids as the light of the sun shone right on him, but he couldn't open his eyes yet.

The second thing he realized was that some people were talking around him. They sounded female. There was no fear in their voices though.

Then it felt like something sharp was being prodded into his side. Not hard enough to rip the suit or draw blood, but enough to have Bruce suddenly breath in sharply, his eyes jumping open as his training and senses kicked in.

"Well he's still alive...unfortunately." A female voice called out close to him.

"Then let's bring him up." A voice further away responded.

With that command Batman felt himself jerked to his feet. His eyes had finally adjusted enough to the light to see and what he saw definitely surprised him. Two women were currently picking him up off the ground. He was in a small crater and at the top of it there were other women calling out orders and looking at him.

All these women were wearing Grecian style armor. Leaf-bladed swords, Bronze shields, and horse-hair plume helmets were everywhere he looked.

Batman was confused, tired, and had a headache the size of the watchtower. As his eyes skimmed over the scene his increased activity seemed to be noticed.

"He seems to be stirring Polemusa." The girl on his right said.

"Good, then we won't have to carry his filth far." The individual on his left offered up.

They didn't even notice Batman though as two of his fingers curled up to his wrist compartment for an emergency smoke bomb.

Batman decided he needed to be in a more advantageous position. He couldn't do that from where he was. As the girls began to climb up the crater incline Bruce noted their footing would be slightly compromised. Suddenly without warning Batman elbowed the girl on his right.

"Uhhfff!" The girl cried out in more surprise than pain.

Before either of the girls could do anything though Batman threw his smoke bomb to the ground. Smoke poured out and the guards coughed as Batman ran as fast as he could away from his wake-up party.

"Lies and Treachery!" One of the females at the edge of the crater yelled.

Batman saw a building outside the crater and launched his grappling hook to quickly exit. A fat lot of good it was though in the daytime. Batman heard the guards exclaim as they saw him fly out of the smoke.

"There! After him!" The leader commanded as she saw the man in black try to escape.

Batman groaned in pain as he reached one of the roofs, stumbling as he began to run. His energy was low. A cosmic blender experience would do that to you though. As he looked up though Bruce was momentarily stunned.

Everywhere he looked Bruce was looking at Grecian architecture. Villas and Bath houses and cobbled pathways snaked through the city. Temples could be seen towering on different hills, their white marble was pristine and shone like ice in the sun. Fire pits seemed to be perpetually burning on large raised platforms and Statues of various deities stood over the town like giant guardians-larger than life.

The most aweing sights though were the enormous Coliseum and the palace that seemed to dwarf it on small mountain a little way off. From what he had studied, the coliseum looked to be about 5x the size of the Coliseum in Rome. The palace was farther away. It was ginormous. It looked like a mix between a royal palace and the biggest Parthenon imaginable.

The whole city seemed to branch out from this palace, stretching to the base of other distant, small mountains. Forests seemed to also border the city on the other sides, large Oaks and Maples that looked full of life, with large straight roads leading out in different directions.

Batman was suddenly pulled from his momentary pause as he heard a slight grunt and heard something going through the air, he ducked and turned just in time to see a dagger fly over his head. His low energy took advantage of him though and as he ducked his leg buckled and he fell to the side, rolling with no control off the incline of the roof.

Twisting in the air, Batman was able to land on his feet, barely able to support his weight. Thank god it was a single story house he thought to himself.

He turned to run down the alley and between other houses when he realized he was in a dead end between the buildings.

"Great." He muttered.

He turned again to find five female warriors at the entrance to the alley with swords drawn.

"Alright fine." Batman spat out and assumed a fighting stance.

Two warriors ran at him but Bruce pulled out his batclaw and fired at one of them, catching them on her armor. With the press of a button, the warrior was accelerated towards the man at frightening speed.

"Aughh-OOF!" The Amazon's yell was cut short as Batman brought up his arm to clothesline the woman to the ground.

Without stopping he pulled out two batarangs and with practiced expertise threw them at the second warrior, whose head snapped back at the impact and her own reaction, before falling to the floor.

Then the other three advanced. Much more cautious than the first two. They approached in formation with swords pointed and shields covering them. Right before they reached him though Batman heard a warcry and looked up to see the Amazon who had thrown the knife at him falling at him with her leg outstretched.

Batman lifted up his arms just in time for her foot to make contact with them. He grunted in pain as he was sent flying against the wall of the alley. The female flipped off him in midair and landed perfectly on the ground. As Batman recovered a bit the leader nodded to the rest of her four.

Without hesitation the others came in for the attack. Batman lifted his gauntlets to catch two sword points. At the same time he was able to kick one of the girls away as he delivered a powerful front kick to her shield. He felt a burning sensation though and looked up to see the fourth blade had nicked his shoulder.

He gritted his teeth. Disengaging the two other swords Batman was able to deliver a headbutt to one of the girls who grunted in response but did not go down. A shield was slammed into batman who felt his lungs cry out for oxygen in response. Reaching into his belt Batman threw a small explosive at one of the others. As soon as it hit the warrior a small BOOM launched her into the side wall.

Two left Batman thought as he blocked a sword with his knee and backfisted a shield away at the same time. Out of nowhere though a hand reached through the two warriors and punched Batman with so much force he was launched into the alley's dead end wall again. This time he felt the wood wall behind him crack as well.

Oh that one felt a lot different than the others. Batman thought as his vision was swimming.

He tried to reach into his belt again for something but immediately felt the leader's hand around his throat and lifting him off his feet.

Damn Meta. Batman thought as he scowled through gritted teeth.

Bruce reached out to try and punch the leader.

"Wham!"

The force would have given a normal person a concussion but the leader only looked stunned. One thing that did happen though was that her horse-hair plumed helmet was knocked off.

Batman could see the edges of his vision darkening but his eyes widened in recognition of the women currently choking the life out of him.

"Argh...Art...Artemis...GH!?

The woman seemed momentarily confused but then infuriated.

"You dare to use my name!" She slammed bruce into the wall again.

"How on Olympus do you know me swine!?" Once more Bruce was slammed against the wall as he gagged for air. The wood cracking once again.

Batman was almost out cold. "Wonder...Wo...Woman?"

Artemis didn't seem to respond to that sentence though as with one last final slam Bruce felt himself be pushed through the wall. As his back was on fire from the force of going through the solid wood and landing on the stone ground he felt himself succumbing to unconsciousness.

One last thought crossed Bruce's mind before his eyes closed.

Where the hell am I?

XXXXXXXXX

A group of Amazons traversed down the palace halls. The high ceilings and marble work led to their sounds and footsteps to be magnified as they walked with importance and purpose.

One woman stood out from the rest. Walking slightly at the lead she was tall and proud, with raven dark hair and red-rose lips. She wore clothes that would inspire hope on any other world. The red boots, the red top with the golden eagles. The outfit was iconic here as well, but despite it's colorful appearance, inspired fear.

In addition to the armor the women had a lasso that glowed at her waist, a large white robe and cape was draped over her that flowed behind her as she walked.

Two silver gauntlets adorned her arms. The metal seemed dull though, well worn from hundreds of battles and use. Still every bit as strong as the first battle though.

Last but not least was the tiara on her head. The classic tiara still had the red star and the golden color but numerous tips were seen protruding from the edges menacingly and the semicircular crown of Hippolyta had been merged wit it. The result was the crown of a fierce ruler.

"...And so Queen Diana I think we can improve the water system of New Hippolyta to account for the plans of three new bath houses.

"That's great Evandre." The Queen said

Another attendant spoke up, "Finally, we can maybe have everyone of the Global Themysciran Empire smelling decent!"

The other women laughed in response and Diana gave a slight smile, "We can only hope Thermodosa."

The smile was genuine, but it didn't seem to touch her eyes. The queen's eyes maintained an icy and cold stare that not even the hottest summer days had melted. Not since...then.

Suddenly a guard was running across the courtyard.

"My Queen, My Queen! I have a very important message for you!"

Diana seemed a bit surprised, not often was a message delivered with such haste. Not with the control she had employed to guide her people's empire.

She nodded to her group and they bowed slightly before leaving her to hear the message. The daily problems of the city would not stop for one message after all.

Diana then nodded to the guard, "Alright, what message?"

The guard seemed nervous of what she had to say, pausing, before spilling the message as fast as she could, "A man was found in the city in a crater with no identity wearing a strange black armor. He fled but was captured by Commander Artemis. He incapacitated four of the seven Amazons on the scene though before he could be defeated."

The queen seemed shocked. A man?!

"Is he in custody."

"Yes."

"No identifiers? Not in the system?"

"None my Queen."

Diana seemed lost in thought for a moment. Then a small smile played on her face. The coldness in her eyes was as strong as ever though.

"Well then...Let us welcome our new guest."

The queen of the Amazons then gestured for the guard to lead the way and strode forward, eager to meet this new man.

He was a man.

She was Queen of the Amazons.

And she wanted to see what challenges this new enemy would bring.

Second Chapter up.
