Wonder Woman Tournament
Many years ago, Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, created a child from clay which was brought to life by the Goddesses. Fifteen years later, the child, named Diana, is woken up by Hippolyta, who reminds her that "it's the big day". With a sudden burst of energy, Diana jumps over all the steps of the stairs and lands perfectly. Diana and Hippolyta then have a short conversation where it's revealed "the big day" is a tournament which determines the next Wonder Woman, the future leader of the Amazon army.

Diana, after eating, runs outside and meets with her friend Philippus, who believes Diana will win the tournament They are having a good time until they meet Mala, another fighter in the tournament who is very egotistical about her own skill and strength, claiming she'll wipe Diana off the face of the Earth. This causes a short argument between the two which is stopped by Philippus, who knocks Mala over as a joke. However, not taking it as a joke, Mala tries to fight Philippus, but is stopped by Hippolyta herself. This causes Mala to run away in fear, while Philippus stands her ground. Thinking the worst, Diana hops to the defense of her friend, but Hippolyta reveals she saw the whole thing and isn't mad at Philippus. After hearing this, both of them run off to the tournament arena smiling, with Hippolyta doing the same.

At the tournament they meet the other fighters, the hawk lover Aella, the young blacksmith Io, the creator of Diana's bracelets Pallas, Diana's friend Euboea, the oldest fighter Iphthime, and the youngest fighter Orana. Each of the fighters develop small relationships with each other during the thirty minutes before the fight starts, with Io developing a crush on Diana, Aella and Pallas becoming quick friends, and Diana and Mala's rivalry developing farther after Mala patronizes Diana. The first fight between Pallas and Orana then begins. It's a very short fight with Pallas managing to defeat Orana and Orana running off crying. The second fight is between Mala and Euboea, who just entered the tournament to fight Mala. Euboea does very well at first, with Mala not even being able to touch her, until Mala gets one single hit in which causes Euboea to go flying out of the ring, with Mala winning that round and intimidating all the other fighters, including Diana.

Diana and Philippus talk about Mala for a bit before Diana herself is called for the tournament. The other fighter is Iphthime. However, just before the fight starts, it begins to rain. Due to the fact the arena is now very wet, the fight is called off until the weather clears. However, Diana and Iphthime stare at each other during the rain, which is getting heavier and heavier. They eventually snap out of it, but only because Hippolyta told them to. Diana and the other fighters and veiwers are at a small tavern talking. Diana reveals to Philippus she feels as if Iphthime was staring at her for a reason. Iphthime herself comes in and reveals she was, as she believes defeating someone who was blessed by the Goddesses would prove her to be the greatest warrior in Themyscira. The two then have a friendly back and worth where they try to prove themselves better than the other until it's revealed more than likely the rain will last all day and thus the fighters must sleep in the tavern.

The next day, the arena is cleaned up and the fight between Diana and Iphthime continues as normal. The fight begins normal, with both of them throwing punches and the other dodging, until Diana is about to be thrown out the arena, because just when she's about to fall, she slams her foot in to the side of the arena, sticking her foot in a hole she creates with her kick before jumping back inside the arena. The fight gets more and more intense, with no one knowing who's going to win until Diana knocks Iphthime out of the ring with a powerful kick. Everyone cheers for Diana when Iphthime gets back up and appears to be angry at Diana. However, the anger on her face suddenly switches to joy, as she congratulates Diana and thanks her for a good match.

The night fight is between Aella and Pallas. However, neither side want to lose the other's friendship, and thus both try to throw the match. However, every time one tries, the other tries to keep them in. The match lasts an extremely long time. By the time it finishes, it's night and both sides are so out of it they both end up falling over, and both end up losing the match. The fighters and viewers take another break for the night, but Diana is having trouble sleeping. She decides to get up for a midnight snack, and is found by Hippolyta. Diana reveals her trouble to her, with Hippolyta reasoning it is most likely because she is nervous about tomorrow, as it is the final day of the tournament and she saw the person she might fight in the final round knock someone out with a single punch. However, Hippolyta assures her that, win or lose, Hippolyta will still love Diana as no matter what she is still her daughter. After hearing this, Diana is finally able to fall asleep.

It's the big day, the final day of the tournament. All the viewers are excited as the first match is called: Diana vs Io. The fight is hard, as despite her crush, Io isn't holding back what so ever, but Diana manages to pull through, knocking Io off balance and out of the ring. Due to Diana being extremely tired from the fight, they take yet another break, this one shorter than the other two as it is just there to let Diana catch her breath. During the break, Diana and Mala have a short conversation where Mala reveals why she's so powerful: she's the descendant of the first Wonder Woman. A powerful warrior who could take on gods, by the name of Artemis (named after the Greek Goddess). However, Diana counters Mala's braging by revealing how she herself was granted the power of Hera herself. The two then get in to an argument, which ends when the break finishes.

Diana and Mala slowly walk in to the arena, as the fight begins. Mala attempts to kick Diana, but Diana manages to dodge, with Mala hitting the floor instead, cracking the arena. The two then have a massive back and forth, punching, dodging, kicking, ect. Diana also shows that her bracelets are extremely powerful, as she uses them to block a giant punch from Mala which should have knocked her out cold. She also uses the force of the punch to throw Mala in the air, but Mala manages to land safely and continues the fight. Eventually though, Mala gets in two good punches and a kick which knocks Diana to her stomach. However, out of desperation, Diana grabs her own tiara and uses it as a throwing weapon. It actually works, with Mala being disorientated by the hit, and Diana knocking Mala straight out of the ring with a massive uppercut. Diana is crowned the new Wonder Woman and the crowd goes wild. Even Mala herself congratulates Diana, claiming anyone great enough to defeat her is worthy of becoming Wonder Woman. Diana then runs off in to the distence and takes a victory leap in to the air.
