DIANA:

Germans?

STEVE:

We gotta get out of here.

HIPPOLYTA (O.S.)

Diana!

Diana and Steve look up to the cliffs to see --

Battle-ready HIPPOLYTA on HORSEBACK, with the QUEEN'S

GUARD, all with ARROWS pointed directly at Steve.

HIPPOLYTA:

(to Steve; enraged)

Step away from her! NOW!

STEVE:

Where are their guns?

ANOTHER WAVE OF GUARDSWOMEN arrive behind Hippolyta on

HORSEBACK, aiming ARROWS at the German ships.

STEVE:

Do they only have arrows? We need

guns. Because the Germans have

guns. Lots and lots of --

A torrent of FLAMING ARROWS sail from the cliff top, over

Diana's and Steve's heads, hitting all three landing

craft.

The Germans FIRE back in retaliation!

STEVE:

Get down!

Steve pulls Diana behind a ROCK FORMATION, out of sight

of the invading Germans now fanning out across the beach.

MORE AMAZONS join the others on the cliff, led by ORANA.

Orana shoots a GRAPPLING ARROW into the rock wall of the

opposite cliff. She swings down the attached line toward

the beach, firing ARROW AFTER ARROW at the Germans.

ON THE BEACH:
Diana and Steve watch her, stunned.

Diana turns as a soldier lifts his rifle and FIRES. She

sees the BULLET leave the gun, heading straight for her

in SLOW MOTION --

Steve TACKLES DIANA, pushing her to the ground as the

BULLET just misses her.

Diana's heightened senses allow her to see the bullet

sailing past -- she's confused by what she's seeing --

until it HITS ORANA!

Diana is aghast as Orana falls slack on the grappling

line, her lifeless body swinging against the cliff wall.

DIANA STEVE

NO! Keep your head down!

The Germans continue to FIRE at the Amazons atop the

cliff, several of whom plummet to their deaths on the

beach below.

Orana's slayer squints down his rifle's eyesight --

WHUNK! An arrow now sprouts from the rifle barrel.

A STAMPEDE OF HORSEWOMEN ride through a massive STONE

ARCHWAY onto the beach. The AMAZON CAVALRY, led by

ANTIOPE.

Antiope, MENALIPPE and ARTEMIS at her side, BLOCKS

BULLETS with her SHIELD and cuts through Germans with her

SWORD, trampling them beneath her horse's feet.

Steve crawls out, seeing a soldier taking cover behind a

rock nearby.

STEVE:

(to Diana)

Stay here!

A GLINT of a KNIFE in Steve's hand as he leaps on the

soldier, dragging him down -- then quickly reappearing,

SHOOTING a RIFLE.

Diana grabs the SWORD and SHIELD of a fallen sister and

joins the battle. She's quickly surrounded, but holds

her own, fending off a SWARM of Germans.

ANTIOPE:

(shouting to her

troops)

Omicron formation!

Antiope's team organizes into a formation, working

together but still overwhelmed until --

HIPPOLYTA arrives on the beach, joining the battle in

spectacular fashion. She slashes through the Germans

like no other Amazon, proving why she is QUEEN!

Diana is in awe of her mother -- it's the first time

she's witnessed her fight.

(CONTINUED)

28 CONTINUED:
(3) 28

Antiope finds relief as Hippolyta joins her side -- the

two sisters fight back-to-back, wiping out all but FIVE

GERMANS.

ANTIOPE:

(to Menalippe)

SHIELD!

Steve watches as MENALIPPE takes her SHIELD with both

hands, holds it parallel to the ground. Antiope

dismounts, runs at her, then jumps onto the SHIELD,

springing HIGH INTO THE AIR!

One of the five remaining Germans raises his rifle to

fire at Antiope, but Steve SHOOTS him first, saving

Antiope's life, which is not lost on Diana.

At the height of her mid-air arc, Antiope FIRES THREE

ARROWS AT ONCE, eliminating all but ONE remaining German

who raises his gun at Diana.

STEVE:

Diana!

Steve aims at the soldier as he fires, but Antiope steps

in front of her niece. TAKING THE BULLET, she falls to

the ground. Steve fires and the German falls, too.

DIANA:

Antiope!

The noise, the battle, everything falls away as Diana

races to Antiope's side.

DIANA:

No! Please no!

Diana races to Antiope, dying, struggling to speak --

ANTIOPE:

Diana. The time has come...

you... you must...

DIANA ANTIOPE

What!? Antiope!! (barely audible)

The Godkiller, Diana, go --

DIANA:

(uncomprehending)

Go where? Antiope! No!

Hippolyta rushes to Diana, falling to her knees in front

of Antiope's lifeless body.

(CONTINUED)

HIPPOLYTA:

Sister!

Antiope stills. Diana's devastated, her first experience

of death. Philippus looks on, saddened.

Hippolyta grabs her sword and turns to Steve.

HIPPOLYTA:

You!

Diana rushes between them.

DIANA:

Mother, no! He fought at my side

against the invaders.

MENALIPPE:

Typical. The man fights against

his own people.

STEVE:

They weren't my people.

MENALIPPE:

Then why do you wear their colors?

ARTEMIS:

Tell us!

Steve looks down at his German uniform.

STEVE:

I -- I'm not at liberty to say.
