She wept among the corpses of her murdered brothers. It took her a while to calm down.
"DIANA..." A woman's shout came.
They looked towards her.
"Dessa?" Diana voiced. It was her friend.
Dessa herself wept as she came to them and soon embraced Diana.
"What happened here?" Diana inquired.
She explained to her that there was no time to stop the massacre perpetrated. It was Donna who urged the Amazons to take the island back, planning to kill all the men here. With Diana out of Themyscira with the Justice League, Donna and the Amazons who supported her attacked the men by surprise in their settlement at night, killing them all by the sword, in cold blood. In total it was Donna and twenty other Amazons' doing.
"By the time we saw the fires, it was too late. I'm sorry, Diana." she cried.
"Where was my mother? Where was Queen Hippolyta at that time?" Diana asked with fury.
"I don't know. She just didn't come out of her chamber even after so much noise." Dessa revealed, she herself was feeling strange about it.
"We should check her. I'm afraid Donna did something to her." Diana got worried.
"WAIT," Ragnarok stopped them.
"There is one guy alive. Look, footmarks, going there." Ragnarok pointed to the ground and to the direction the sole footmarks were leading to.
They followed them and soon found a scared and broken man. Diana knew his name. He was one of the men, called Anastasios. He survived the massacre, having hidden in the jungles of Paradise Island.
But seeing them, he weakly tried to run away in fear. Diana and Ragnarok gave him chase. After they caught up they were horrified at his physical condition. He had an amputated arm, severe head trauma, multiple bruises and burns, lost an eye and several other wounds held together by makeshift bandages.
"WHY DID YOU KILL MY BROTHERS? YOU PROMISED US PEACE. YOU BETRAYED US... WHY DID YOU BRING US HERE DIANA?... We were so... happy before." He cried loudly.
He yelled at Diana for the massacres and declared that had he had known the consequences of the massacres he would have committed suicide instead.
Diana's face had turned dark due to anger after seeing him in such a condition. These men were brothers of Amazons whether they liked it or not. By doing this, they were going against the founding principle of Themyscira.
Ragnarok walked forward to the man. He was traumatised by the women so he didn't act as scared when he approached him.
"Son, I know magic. Let me heal you." He said in good faith.
"NO, just kill me. I want to die." Anastasios argued. But he was high on pain right now, that was why he was taking such decisions.
So. Ragnarok tried other methods. He simply healed his wounds first. "I have already healed you. Now, stand up and come with me. You will get your justice today."
Diana nodded and led the way to the castle where Hippolyta was supposed to be. But when they reached there, to their shock, the room was filled with snakes and at the end of the hall was the clay turned Hippolyta.
"MOTHER," Diana ran to the statue. It was obvious that Donna didn't do this. She did not have this kind of power. So, Diana looked for a clue. Then finally, she saw the feet of Hippolyta. There, Hippolyta had written with her thumb of the left feet. It only said one word.
"Hera,"
Ragnarok was a bit intrigued, "Did the Greek Goddess, wife of Zeus, Hera did this?"
"Yes, we only know that Hera. She probably did this because I have Zeus's blood in my veins. So, Hera must have come here to complain." Diana immediately understood.
"DIANA... Zola is giving birth." an Amazon came and announced. It was happening at the same time for some reason.
Soon, Zola did give birth to a son. But, to her and everyone else's horror. Zola was used by the gods for their selfish desires. It was a scheme of the Olympian gods all along.
"HAHAHA..." Adult laughs from the baby started coming.
Ragnarok shook his head and announced what he deduced with his limited omniscience. "Athena made herself human to restore Zeus to the throne of Olympus by mating and giving birth to him as a human. This girl, Zola, from Virginia, was the person that Athena took over. Athena later chose to leave her body and allow her sentience. She gave birth to a healthy boy, but as it turns out, it is Zeus himself. Her son's soul was taken over by Zeus,"
"NOOO NOOOO..." Zola cried as she saw the events unfold. She had just given birth and was now mourning the death of her son "Zeke". Right in front of her his consciousness and body were being overwritten so Zeus could be fully restored.
Ragnarok didn't like what was happening one bit. He's had enough of it already. "What the hell is going on here? Even Deadpool is a saint in comparison to these 'gods'."
*BOOM*
Instantly, Athena and Hera both appeared at the same time to watch the birth of Zeus again and the death of a mother. Hera didn't know about this, initially, she thought Zola was one of the women Zeus had banged and she wanted to kill her but now she understood Athena's plan.
"All you love to play the immortality game, right? From now on, you will all be banned from reaching the mortal realm. As long as you stay in your Mount Olympus you will be immortal, if you somehow come to the mortal realm, you will become a crippled mortal. Also, if you die now, you will die permanently. LEAVE NOW."
All the Amazons present there quietly stood there and saw how the Olympian gods cowered in fear. They had never seen anything like this and wondered who Alexander was.
Hippolyta remembered the humiliation she felt years ago at the hands of Hercules. She had never forgotten that. But knowing the gods did all that, she felt happy seeing them like this. They were having a taste of their own medicine.
Now, only Hercules remained under Alexander's feet. "Rapist, from now on, you will never be able to win a fight, you will never be able to accumulate wealth, you will never be able to commit a crime. You will live till eternity as a beggar named Rapist. Go now."
Alexander made Hercules disappear and return to where he came from. Alexander then looked at the Amazons. He went to Hippolyta and caressed her head as a father would.
"They will never mess with Themyscira anymore. No one will." He assured her. Then he looked at Diana and nodded.
"Ragnarok, you should deal with the traitors." He instructed and left as he came.
*THUD*
Every single creature in Themyscira except Ragnarok instantly fell on their knees. They felt powerless all of a sudden. All this time they were stiff and could stay standing.
"Who was he?" Hippolyta asked her daughter.
"That... was the true God," Diana replied, even though she didn't understand what all this really meant.
Ragnarok nodded, "We should deal with Donna now."
"What did she do?" Hippolyta asked.
With a saddened face, Diana told her everything. Hippolyta got sad hearing the fate of all those sons and brothers.
*BAM*
"Queen Hippolyta, they... they... the sons of Themyscira... they are alive again... a miracle..." one guard announced.
Hippolyta and Diana looked at each other's faces and then Ragnarok's, "Did he do it?"
Ragnarok chuckled, "Who else can do it?"
...
Mount Olympus,
Battered, scared and angered, all the Olympian gods returned to their place. They could already feel that what Alexander had said had happened to their bodies.
Soon, anger became too much and it exploded. Zeus, Athena and Hera were all killed by others after 1000 years of war. They were blamed because they started all this mess. If Athena had not gone to bring back Zeus and Hera had not gone to turn Hippolyta into clay, nothing like this would have happened.
So, from 12, now only 9 Olympian gods remained. Later, even Ares was killed for his arrogance. Apollo became the King of Olympian gods from then on.
...
In a nameless location,
Hercules arrived with a pop. It was an island in the Mediterranean sea. He was its king and had immense wealth gathered there. He lived there with his friends. But now, as far he could see, there was nothing left. All the buildings were gone, all the gold was gone. Only his friends remained and they looked as shocked. All their ornaments had gone missing.
All of them were now dirt poor and would stay this way forever.
[A/N: Damn, these Greek Gods never stop messing no matter which universe it is.]
