Spirit of Truth
Episode 1 - "Gateway City"
Wonder Woman: "Many of my friends and colleagues know me by Diana Prince of Gateway City. Everyone thinks that I'm just the average, normal 25 year old woman..."
Wonder Woman places her wrist gauntlets on.
Wonder Woman: "I'm not your average woman, and I'm certainly not 25 years old. In fact I'm over 3000 years old. I lived in a secret society..."
She clasps her belt together and adjusts her suit and armor.
Wonder Woman: "A society of Amazon warriors who feared no man or beast. We were the bravest, the strongest, and the most courageous the world had to offer. But that all changed when I was just a child..."
Wonder Woman has a flashback. Themyscira, home of the Amazons is under attack. The God of War, Ares is leading the assault against the Amazons. His army is wiping them out by the masses. The island is in flames. Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons has retreated to her quarters with her daughter, Diana. Diana is clearly scared as she is only a young child.
Diana: "Mother, what is happening to our home? Who are these men!?"
Hippolyta kneels down to her daughter's level.
Hippolyta: "Fear not my daughter. This is not the end for you. You have a great destiny ahead of you."
Diana: "But what about you!? I can't do this without you."
Hippolyta smiles at her daughter.
Hippolyta: "You won't ever be without me Diana. One way or another, I'll always be with you here."
She points to Diana's heart. A tear then rolls down the Queen's face. An explosion then rocks the building they're in.
Hippolyta: "We need to get you to safety!"
Hippolyta and Diana run into another room, this one has a underwater vessel. She picks Diana up and places her into it. Diana quickly notices that there is only room for one person.
Diana: "Wait!? What about you!?"
Hippolyta only smiles at her. The door is then kicked in. Hippolyta quickly revs up the vessel and it turns invisible along with Diana. Diana speeds off into the open ocean. Ares appears with some of his soldiers.
Ares: "My oh my. Did you really think you could hide from me Queen Hippolyta? You knew this day would come. It's time to accept your fate!"
Hippolyta draws a sword.
Ares: "And it appears you have..."
Ares draws his sword and the two begin dueling. Diana can see from afar what is happening. Ares and Hippolyta exchange connecting sword shots. But Ares gains the upper hand. He knocks Hippolyta's sword from her hand and he catches it. Diana's eyes widen with fear as she realizes what's about to happen. Ares stabs Hippolyta through the chest with her own sword.
Diana: "NO!!!!!"
Hippolyta drops to her knees and looks down at the sword pierced through her chest. Diana's scream catches Ares' attention and he looks out towards the open water.
Ares: "Ah... The Princess. Why didn't you say she was home?"
Hippolyta: "Don't you... Don't you touch her you bastard."
Hippolyta is on her last breaths.
Ares: "Tell me where she is and I'll give you my word, I will make her death swift."
Hippolyta: "Diana will become a greater warrior then both of us..."
Ares turns back to Hippolyta and he pulls the sword out of her. She lets out a gasping breath and collapes to the floor.
Ares: "I hope the Princess proves to be as brave as you. Because when I find her, I will make the slaughtering of Themyscira look like a walk in the park when I'm done with her. Goodbye Hippolyta."
Ares takes Hippolyta's sword and he leaves Hippolyta to bleed out. As Ares and his army disperse, the structures of Themyscira collapse and the island is in ruins. The flash back ends and Diana is in her full suit of armor. She finishes her look off by placing her tiara on her head.
Wonder Woman: "I may be the last Amazon. But that doesn't mean I will lay low. There are people that need my help, and I will never run away when lives are at stake. The world knows me as Diana Prince, but behind my secret identity, I. Am. Wonder Woman."
~End of Scene~
Ari Buchanan: "Everyone down on the floor down!"
Ari fires a shot into the air with his hand gun.
Ari: "If you haven't figured it out already, this is a robbery!"
Two other men join Ari, but they have ski masks over their faces.
Ari: "Now this will all be over quickly if all of you do what I say, when I say it. Got it? Outstanding ladies and gentlemen!
Ari grabs the bank manager by his tie and he pulls him over the counter.
Manager: "Please sir, you don't want to do this. You still have a chance to walk out of here!"
Ari talks quietly so thatbonly the bank manager can hear him.
Ari: "You see, my associates here could do that. They have masks on, but not me. People need to know who Ari Buchanan is. I'm the new breed of criminal in Gateway City. So excuse me if I wasn't clear before, do what I say, and I'll make it easy on all of you.
Ari strikes the bank manager in the gut with the barrel of his hand gun. The manager falls to a knee and tries to catch his breath.
Ari: "Try and waste my time again, next time it's a bullet to the knee. Now where were we? Ah yes! Where in the hell is ypur safe!?"
Ari holds the gun to the manager's head
Manager: "Alright, alright... I'll take you to it."
Meanwhile outside the bank, the Gateway City Police have surrounded the building. Detective Mike Schorr arrives on scene. He approaches an officer whom has a loud speaker in hand.
Schorr: "Alright, what do we got?"
Officer: "Three guys in the building, all armed. Two have assault rifles and the other guy has a hand gun. But get this, the security feed shows us that only two of the perps have their faces hidden, the other guy, he's exposed for the world to see him.
Schorr: "How soon until we get a facial recognition?"
Officer: "Working on it now sir, it shouldn't be long."
Schorr: "Alright, well hand me the speaker over, and let me know when you have a name. We need to end this fast."
Officer: "Understood sir!" The officer hands the loud speaker over to Detective Schorr and he goes to find out the I.D. results. Schorr speaks onto the speaker.
Schorr: "This is Detective Mike Schorr. If you can hear me, please, think about what you're doing today."
Back inside, Ari hears Schorr speak up and he lets out a laugh.
Ari: "Oh it looks like our friends are here!"
Ari watches as the manager opens up the vault.
Back outside, Schorr gets word of Ari's identity.
Schorr: Ari Buchanan! I know you can hear me, where do you think this can go?"
Back inside, the two masked robbers are chaining the doors to keep them locked.
Schorr: "These guys aren't going to willingly come out. We need to organize an entry point and get these hostages to safety."
Another car pulls up along Schorr and the District Attorney of Gateway City, Shawn Latimer steps out.
Schorr: "Mr. Latimer..."
Latimer: "Detective..."
Schorr begins filling Latimer in on the details. As their conversation carries on, a rumble in the sky is heard.
Latimer: "What the hell was that? Is SWAT arriving by air?"
Schorr: "SWAT hasn't even been called yet.."
The two look to the sky with puzzled looks as they try to find the spurce of the rumbling. Back inside, Ari has his own theory. Ari: "How nice, a helicopter."
Ari looks up at the atrium, but he can't see anything. Suddenly the atrium shatters and Wonder Woman lands on her feet just in front of Ari. Ari laughs as Wonder Woman glares at him.
Ari: "And just who the hell are you!?"
Wonder Woman: "You're about to find out."
One of the masked men tries jumping Wonder Woman from behind but she flips over him and spins right into a kick, knocking the robber out cold! The other masked man runs up to her and throws a punch, just catching Wonder Woman in the side of her face. She gets knocked down and Ari laughs as he looks on.
Ari: "Is this a joke!? I mean c'mon!"
As the masked man looks down at Wonder Woman, she gets up with a slight grin on her face. The robber goes after her but she side steps him and chops him down. She grabs him by his bulletproof vest and launches him across the lobby, and finally against the wall. Ari looks scared for a second, but he laughs.
Ari: "Alright! I'm impressed, you're strong!"
Wonder Woman: "You know nothing about me."
Wonder Woman goes after Ari but he pulls his gun on her, and she stops.
Ari: "Still feeling tough?"
Ari pulls the trigger and fires! Wonder Woman deflects shot after shot with her wrist gauntlets! Ari can't believe what he's seeing. He goes to fight toe to toe with Wonder Woman, but she counters his every move. The hostages watch in astonishment as Wonder Woman takes down Ari! She then makes sure everyone is okay.
Wonder Woman: "It's alright. You're safe now."
One of the hostages call out to her.
Hostage: "Look out!"
Wonder Woman quickly whips out her laso and she spins around and catches Ari's gun right from his hand! Ari looks to be in shocked as Wonder Woman walks to him.
Ari: "... Who are you?"
Wonder Woman: "I'm Wonder Woman!"
She hits Ari with a dwift jab and knocks him out cold. The hostages look thankful as Wonder Woman stands tall. The doors busts down and police storm the building. Wonder Woman uses her laso to escape through the broken atrium. She leaves in her invisible jet! The police arrive and have puzzled looks on their faces as they find the robbers knocked out. Schorr and Latimer head in.
Latimer: "Check that security feed Mike... We have something big on our hands."
Latimer walks out as Schorr puts his hands on his hips and observes the scene.
~End of Scene~
Detective Schorr is reviewing the security footage of the attempted robery. He looks on with astonishment as he watches how the robbers were apprehended. He pauses the screen on an image of Wonder Woman and studies her. He then picks up the phone to call District Attorney Latimer.
Schorr: "Yeah it's me. Look, I think we have something quite interesting here. Can you come to the station?"
~End of Scene~
In the apartment below Diana's, lives Camille Sky, Diana's land lord. It's getting late and Camille is readying for bed. But just as she gets ready to lay down, she heard a loud thump above her. She quickly grabs her phone and calls Diana. No answer. She gets herself ready and heads up the stairs to Diana's apartment. She knocks at the door. Still no answer.
Camille: "Diana? Are you home? I heard a loud bang."
Camille can hear someone moving around so she knocks again, but still doesn't get a response.
Camille: "Diana, are you alright!?"
She can't hear anything now, as if whoever is in the apartment stopped moving around. Camille reaches for her master keys.
Camille: "Diana, if you can hear me, I'm coming in."
Camille puts the key in the lock, but just before she turns the key, the door unlocks and Diana opens the door.
Diana: "Camille hi! I'm so sorry, did I wake you?"
Camille: "No... I just heard a loud noise come from your apartment. Is everything alright Diana?"
Diana puts on a big smile and nods.
Diana: "Everything is perfect! Thanks for checking up on me!"
Diana goes to shut the door as if she's in some sort of hurry, but Camille speaks back up.
Camille: "Diana... Don't forget about rent next week. You were two weeks late last month."
Diana: "I won't Camille, you have my word."
Diana smiles and Camille smiles back at her.
Camille: "Goodnight Ms. Prince."
Diana: "Goodnight Camille! Sorry about the commotion, it won't happen again!"
Camille walks off and Diana closes the door. She lets out a breath of relief and look over at her couch where her suit and armor lays.
~End of Scene~
It's the next morning. Latimer and Schorr are going over the robbery tapes.
Latimer: "Who the hell is this woman?"
Schorr: "You got me..."
Both of them watch in shock as they view the part where Wonder Woman threw one of the robbers across the bank's lobby with ease.
Schorr: "With your permission, I'd like to interview that man right there."
Latimer: "Buchanan? Why? He's a wanna be."
Schorr: "And he was also their ring leader. He knows something."
Latimer: "I'll arrange it. Come down to county around 4:00."
~End of Scene~
Diana is watching the evening news. A report is being issued about the bank robbery but there is no mentioning of Wonder Woman. The reporter adds that a brave citizen stopped the robbery instead. The news then announces the name Ari Buchanan. Diana looks shocked to hear his name.
Diana: "...No."
Diana has a worried look on her face as she has the nightmare like flashback of Ares killing her mother and destroying Themyscira. She thinks about how Ari and Ares are so similar, but she comes to the conclusion that Ari Buchanan is nothing like the fiendish God of War, but just a regular human instead. Diana's phone rings and she answes.
Diana: "Hello?"
Interviewer: "Yes, hello. Am I speaking with Diana Prince?"
Diana: "Yes. Yes that's me. May I ask who's calling?"
Interviewer: "I'm from the Gateway City Air Force base. I'm calling in regards to your application of becoming a secretary in our offices. Are you still interested in the job?"
Diana: "Yes I am actually! I'm still fairly new to Gateway and I've been job hunting like a maniac."
Interviewer: "Well then, I'm pleased to tell you that the job is yours, and I'm also wondering when you'd like to start. How does Monday next week sound?"
Diana: "Monday sounds great! I'll be there! Thank you so much."
Diana gets off the phone and she reaches into her desk and pulls a note pad out that has a check list. Crossed off already are identity, home, and now job. Diana looks back to her tv and the news has just announced a huge guest coming to Gateway City. Archeologist, Barbara Ann Minerva.
~End of Scene~
Ari is sitting in a interrogation room. His feet are shackled and his hands are cuffed. As the door to the room opens, he startles.
Schorr: "Easy Mr. Buchanan. We just want to ask you some questions."
Latimer follows Schorr into the room.
Ari: "I thought you were her! She's not here is she!?"
Ari has a bit of fear in his voice.
Schorr: "Relax. No one is here to hurt you. Although what that woman did to you was very vigilant, it was also illegal. We ran everything we could find out about her, but nothing has come back."
Ari interupts him.
Ari: "I've never seen anyone like that. I mean I've once heard of a legend about a man in black who prowls on crime in Gotham City. But here? No way. She's new."
Ari and Latimer exchange looks.
Latimer: "So you know nothing? She gave no name?"
Ari: "She called herself... Wonder Woman."
Latimer: "Thank you Mr. Buchanan. That will be all."
Latimer motions for a guard to remove Ari from the room and take him back to his cell. Schorr and Latimer are alone now.
Schorr: "Wonder Woman?"
Latimer: "That's definitely a new one indeed detective."
Schorr: "You know, Ari mentioned the Gotham City bat... Now Wonder Woman doesn't look to be on the same scale of violence he is on, what if she's different. She could really help this city out!"
Latimer has a puzzled but annoyed look on his face.
Latimer: "She's a menace detective. And we won't tolerate vigilance. This is her first account. We have no idea what she can be capable of."
Schorr doesn't like what he hears but he keeps to himself.
Schorr: "So what's our next move?"
Latimer: "I have a source that can help up capture Wonder Woman. She can be stopped for good before something far worse happens."
Latimer and Schorr leave.
~End of Scene~
Wonder Woman is up on top of a high rise looking over Gateway City.
Wonder Woman: "You now know the tale of my past. It is now my responsibility to make sure that never happens to anyone again. This is my home now and I gladly accept that. I am Princess Diana of Themyscira... I am Wonder Woman."
Wonder Woman nose dives off of the building.
