Chapter 25 - reaching MYSCRRIA

The sky was clear as the jet soared toward a wide oceanic gap.

Clark narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure this hidden trail works?"

Diana adjusted the direction. "Yes. Only Amazons know this route."

Bruce sat behind them, quiet. Ojaga cleaned his tail armor.

Barry looked out the window, "What's Themyscira like?"

Clark smiled. "You'll know soon. It's not like any place you've been."

A few minutes later…

They passed through a cloak field—strong magic.

The trees of an invisible island revealed themselves.

Golden towers, glowing waterfalls, wide battle arenas. Everything felt ancient and sacred.

Themyscira.

☀️

As the ship landed, Amazon warriors stared from the gates.

Diana stepped out first.

Bruce followed but stopped when a tall armored lady blocked the path.

It was Queen Hippolyta—Diana's mother.

"You brought outsiders," she said, her tone calm but cold.

Diana nodded once. "They are here to speak."

The Queen's eyes moved to Bruce, then Ojaga.

"I smell foreign energy. What do you want?"

Ojaga stepped forward. "Do you have magic scrolls?"

"Our Bruce needs training."

Bruce added quietly, "Specifically your god magic. We don't have anything like it."

The Queen's eyes narrowed.

"Denied."

Ojaga tilted his head. "Oh. That's disappointing."

Diana spoke softly. "Then offer a trial. A classic Island Duel."

The nearby Amazons stepped back with surprised gasps.

"You want to fight one of us?" the Queen asked.

Diana didn't answer.

Instead, she turned, holding a wooden staff, and tossed it to Bruce.

He sighed, "Really?"

Clark shrugged. "Don't hold back."

💥

In the arena, Bruce faced a tall Amazon covered in gold-plated armor.

The bell rang.

Bruce dodged.

Then blocked.

Then activated a shock rune under his glove—sparking her spear out of her hand.

He flipped behind her—slam.

Ojaga whispered, "He's getting better."

After a few strong blocks and a final sweep, Bruce won the match.

The crowd clapped softly.

The Queen said nothing at first.

Then turned to Diana. "Your friends may enter. Bruce… may use the library."

Bruce bowed respectfully.

Inside a large meeting hall, the team explained everything.

Clark displayed ancient AI World Charts.

Ojaga showed map readings of Earth's vibrational shifts.

Bruce added, "Seven dimensional bubbles are closing in. This world could collapse or mutate."

Diana stared at her mother.

"We need magic… warriors. We need Amazon insight."

But the Queen shook her head.

"No. The Amazons will not leave the island again."

Diana gritted her teeth.

"You fear change more than you fear extinction."

The Queen turned.

"This island was made to protect our people—not the world."

Quiet.

Then Diana stood tall and spoke clearly.

"Then I leave."

Gasps again.

Hippolyta turned sharply. "You give up Themyscira?"

"I follow my path," Diana said.

She grabbed her gear.

"If any still believe in protecting the world, come with me."

At first—silence.

Then movement—

A tall warrior in olive armor stepped forward.

Sword on her back.

Spear in hand.

Episteme, Diana's personal bodyguard.

She kneeled.

"I ask permission to go with the Princess."

Then—

Dalma stepped forward with her double-blades.

Then Mala, shield at her side.

The Queen clenched her fist.

Then… gave a small nod without a word.

💠

Back on the beach…

Bruce and Ojaga were setting up hidden gps and vibration tracker .

" do fast.," Ojaga said.

"Diana doesn't know," Bruce warned.

"She'll find out when she needs to," Ojaga replied firmly.

Away from the base—

Clark and Ojaga walked near the Amazon training grounds.

"I've never seen women fight like that," Ojaga muttered.

Clark smiled. "You like someone here?"

Ojaga looked left and right like he was scanning a battlefield.

"There's like… five generals here stronger than Superman."

Clark glanced at a passing warrior in red armor and whispered, "That one's mine."

Ojaga looked annoyed. " off Diana know what we are doing, she seriously will kill us and now we're choosing Amazon wives?"

Barry ran up behind them panting, "good luck,I already asked out five them."

All three laughed.

From the shadows—Diana watched quietly.

The future was uncertain.

But the team standing beside her?

Was becoming stronger.

And bigger.
