BOOM! BOOM!

The hard thudding sounds erupted from the, slowly crashing, metal ceiling. But all Jor-El thought about was the safety of his wife and son, who, at that moment, followed him to the direction of his laboratory. As they both ran across the collapsing structure of their Kryptonian home; explosions erupted from different sides of their house. Their large metallic and electronic controlled home slowly crashed in front of their eyes and there was nothing they could do but watch it fall.

Finally, they've reached it. Jor-El placed his hand on a small screen beside the door; and with a shout, "Kal-El!" to the computer, the door automatically opened. Jor-El allowed his wife to enter first; and once they did, the door immediately closed behind them.

Jor-El rushed towards the large computer and activated the space ship he had prepared before. His concentration was swirled: from the process of activation of the spaceship to the worry over his wife and son's safety.

"Jor-El," Lara called out to him, "Are you sure this will work? What if this spaceship cannot fit all of us in it?"

"It will work Lara," Jor-El kept his eyes on the screen; "I made sure it will."

"I just want my son to live, for Kal-El to live." She told him.

Jor-El stopped and walked towards her. He leaned close to her and hugged her, "I do too, Lara. But I won't allow him to grow up without parents; to live like he doesn't belong with everybody else around him. I want us to be there for him. And," he took a deep breath, "if by some chance, the space ship malfunctions, it is enough if only you two go."

"No! I won't leave you!" Lara argued.

Jor-El stared into his wife's eyes and saw the fierce determination and worry in them. He kissed her on her forehead and told her, "Then we'll have to try to make sure it works. Lara… you and Kal-El are my life and if saving you two is the last thing I do then I will die a happy man."

"But-"

He shot her a smile then resumed typing on his computer. Finally, the spaceship behind them flashed its lights. Jor-El took off the blanket that covered it and revealed a large capsule space-ship. The outer design of the spaceship was a simple silver metal derived from Krypton's soil. The silver was able to withstand high pressures and heat temperature- it was a perfect substance for a spaceship travelling through the extreme conditions of space. In the centre of the spaceship was a small window where Jor-El placed his hand once more beside it. A light scanned his hand and within seconds, the door beside it opened and revealed a small space- perfect for only three people.

"Lara! You and Kal-El enter!" he called to his wife.

Lara did as she was told. She held her son tightly-who finally cried in her arms due to the loud sounds of the explosions around them- and entered. She sat on the corner and looked at Jor-El.

"Jor-El!" she shouted.

Jor-El looked around his laboratory; a place he had spent a lot of his time in. He watched as all of his works and experiments were slowly destroyed by the falling metal and explosions produced by mixed chemicals. He gritted his teeth as he watched all of his hard work destroyed right before his eyes.

With a deep breath, he entered the space ship and pressed a couple of buttons beside him on the wall. Soon after, the door closed and they felt movement. Jor-El pulled his wife beside him and tightly hugged her and their son. He told her to close her eyes as the space ship that carried them slowly lifted itself up to the air.

All the way through, Jor-El didn't dare himself to look out the window as he didn't want to see his planet's complete destruction; but unknowingly, his eyes peeked through the window in front of them. He froze as he watched their planet, Krypton, shattered into millions of pieces and disappeared into the dark and thin space. There were turbulence when the explosion happened but all Jor-El did was hoped that the thick metal compound of the spaceship was enough to withstand the turbulence.

Within seconds, he lost his home, his childhood, his works and achievements. He had lost everything but one: his family. He moved his son's blanket from his head and kissed him. His son then smiled at him and raised his arms to his father. Jor-El shed a tear as he watched his son.

"We're safe now Lara." He told his wife.

"But what are we going to do now?" she asked him.

"We'll find a way," he reassured her and placed his hand on his son's head, "somehow, everything will work out; because I believe that in your hands… you might be holding not only the hope to our family… but to the new planet we'll be landing."

"Where is that?"

"Earth."

Queen Hippolyta of Themyscira felt nothing but anger and fear in her heart as she watched huge balls of fire descended from the sky and destroyed the once beautiful structures of her kingdom. The only thing she had heard the whole time were the screams of her own people, who desperately cried for help as they were attacked by those balls of fire, along with vicious animals. Of course, her sisters were able to hold themselves against the animals but the sheer number; as well as the continuous crashing of meteors; overwhelmed them.

She wanted nothing more than to run to her sisters and fight alongside them but-

"Your majesty!"

Queen Hippolyta turned to the intense face of her general. She had a dark skin tone, braided hair; and her tall featured towered over the Queen's. General Philippus had led the way from their comfortable homes in the palace and towards the ship that was prepared for them.

"We have to leave!" The general shouted.

"But my people! Our sisters!" Hippolyta shouted back.

"Your majesty there's nothing we can do! The Goddess Hera's wrath has surpassed reason and the only way we can stop all of this is if we follow her demand: for you to leave! Because the child you are carrying right now in your arms is the daughter of her husband; but not hers."

Queen Hippolyta looked down on the crying child in her arms. For a new-born, she presented a lot of light dark hairs on her head; her oceanic blue eyes were hidden behind closed eyes and tears. She gently rocked the baby in her arms and silently shushed her, "It'll be okay my daughter; I am here for you. Nothing can hurt you."

"Please your majesty!" General Philippus gently tugged on her arm, "the longer we stay, more of our sisters will die!"

It hurt Queen Hippolyta that the reason why her people were dying was because of her; she made the mistake of having a passionate affair with the God Zeus- a one-time mistake that led to the birth of their child, Diana. But even though the affair was a mistake, her child was certainly a blessing- a blessing that she never allowed to be taken from her. And so with such a resolve in her mind, she looked up to the General and told her, "Let's go!"

Soon after, they've finally arrived by the ship. The large wooden ship in front of them, floated on the sea by the harbour. The ship was well equipped with metal armours around it- designed to withstand battles. Queen Hippolyta asked General Philippus to take Diana, to which the General willingly did. As Philippus ran to the ship, Queen Hippolyta turned and shouted to the sky,

"Great Hera! I beg of you! Come!"

She looked around as she anxiously waited for the Goddesses' appearance. It took some time, then suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of her; and as it slowly dimmed, a beautiful woman of blond hair in a red silk dress with gold plating walked towards her. Her expression was furious; and it stayed that way until Hippolyta began,

"Great Hera! I will obey by your command! I will leave my kingdom as long as you let go of my people!"

"Who are you to negotiate with me?!" Hera shouted.

"I am their Queen! And the child that is in that ship right now is their princess!"

"How dare you?!" Hera hissed, "what's to say I don't kill your daughter right now?!"

"Because no matter what blood flows inside of her, she will always be an Amazonian by nature!" Hippolyta kept her stand, "She is a warrior by birth and not just the daughter of Zeus! And one day she will rise up to the throne and be their leader!"

"Is that a threat?!"

"It's the truth. We Amazonians have kept our world apart from the rest; and we have all devoted ourselves to the Gods and Goddesses that helped us. My people do not deserve to be punished because of a mistake I did!"

"That's where you're wrong Hippolyta," Hera replied, "A queen's action can always be reflected on the effect it has on her people. That's why… I turned them into stones!"

"What?! NOOOOO!"

Queen Hippolyta couldn't take it anymore; with the sword that dangled by her side, she tried to lunge at the Goddess but was suddenly stopped by a hand that grasped her arm. She turned and saw that it was General Philippus.

"The princess is finally asleep," General Philippus told her in a calm voice, "the child, Mala, is looking after her right now."

"Let go of me Philippus! Our sisters-"

Philippus tightened her grasp on the Queen's arm, "I know! But attacking the Goddess wouldn't do anything! It will only make it worse! That's why we have to go!"

Hippolyta bit her lower lip then slowly lowered her sword. She clenched her jaw and tightened her grip on her sword.

"Hera!" she shouted, "This I swear to you! I will be back for my people! And once I do, I will bring with me the rightful ruler of the Amazonians!"

"Then I shall be waiting!" Hera smirked.

With another pull from General Philippus, they both headed to the ship and prepared themselves to sail away. Hera soon disappeared from their sights as soon as the ship moved. The ship had its rough bumps at first but upon leaving the harbour, the ship sailed on smoothly.

Queen Hippolyta looked at their, once, beautiful island; that had been inflicted upon by the wrath of a Goddess. She tightened her knuckles as she thought of how it was possible for her great and powerful home to have ended up the way it was.

Suddenly, she felt a tug on her dress. She turned and looked down at a young girl, about the age of 7, with blond hair and blue eyes. In her arms, she carried a baby- Hippolyta's baby. She wiped the tears off of her face and smiled at the young girl as she took the baby in her arms.

The baby was sleeping and as she slowly stroked her hair, she looked up to the sky and whispered, "Great Zeus, this is the fruit of our affair; a fruit that you and I both bore. So, I beg of you, do not abandon your child. Give her strength to overcome the challenges ahead of her."

She kissed her daughter on her forehead when suddenly-

A small bolt of lightning appeared from the sky and struck… the baby in her arms. But instead of a cry, the baby remained sleeping; and even though Hippolyta should've been affected by the lightning, she didn't feel anything. It was then that she realized that it wasn't a normal bolt of lightning; it was a lightning sent by the God, Zeus…

"Are you okay, your majesty?!" General Philippus shouted from the upper deck- behind the steering wheel.

Hippolyta simply gave a small smile and told Philippus, "Our princess has been granted a gift by the Gods. "

Philippus didn't say anything but nodded her head with respect to both Hippolyta and Diana.

"My daughter, Diana," Hippolyta whispered to the baby, "one day, you will return home; and once you do, you will rule with kindness, bravery and compassion for our sisters."

As if Diana was listening, she moved her arms and legs as a response to her mother. Queen Hippolyta smiled at the sight of her.

"Queen Hippolyta," General Philippus called out to her once more, "where are we heading?"

"Where the sea takes us," Hippolyta told her, "where Diana will grow up like any other human… to the Man's world."

Hello!

Some of you who have already read the previous release of this story may be confused by me re-releasing this story. But I've decided to start over again with some detail changes in the storyline. And since I hadn't posted that many chapters before, I thought it was a good idea to change earlier than later. So I hope you bear with me in this.

Thank you for your understanding and for reading this story! I hope you enjoyed this prologue and will continue to look forward for future chapters! Reviews are greatly appreciated.
