Wonder Woman: Over before it begins.

Alternate ending to the pilot of Wonder Woman.


Wonder Woman crept quietly into the darkened office and found Marcia riffling
through the safe.

She coughed and the German spun round. "You won't get away with what ever you
are doing" she said adopting her famous 'power' stance. "And who's going to
stop me !" hissed Marcia producing a gun from her purse. Wonder Woman smiled.

"You of all people should know how useless that gun is against me" alluding to
the time when the German had seen her block bullets with her bracelets. Marcia
threw the gun to the floor "I don't need a gun to take you Wonder Woman. I was
Nuremberg judo champion."

"I suppose you think that is going to impress me" scoffed the confident
Amazon, pulling the door behind her shut to prevent the possibility of escape
- "Give up now before you get hurt.".

Marcia's response was to go onto the offensive. Despite being dressed in a
wide skirt and heels she leapt onto a table with great agility and aimed a
kick at the Amazon's head. Wonder Woman leapt out of the way and pushed the
table over causing Marcia to tumble over. However, in a swift motion, she
rolled off the table and moved towards Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman raised her arm just in time to block the Judo chop aimed at the
side of her neck, thrown by the agile German.

She replied with a punch but the German ducked low and managed to grab a hold
of the Amazon. The two women were now chest to chest as they engaged in a
fierce struggle.

Wonder Woman tried to use her superior power to overwhelm the spy but Marcia
was fighting back hard.

Wonder Woman nearly lost her balance as the German used a foot sweep in an
attempt to trip her to the floor.

Using her strength he Amazon drove the German backwards but Marcia instantly
used her momentum against her and was able to reverse Wonder Woman and force
her backwards over the desk.

Diana was pinned on her back on the desk with the Nazi on top of her.

Marcia had a fierce look on her face as she managed to pin Wonder Woman's arms
over her head against the desk.

Wonder Woman was surprised by the skill and eagerness of the Nazi but was able
to push her back with a feet to the chest and escape.

The two continued to wrestle before the Amazon's vastly superior strength
forced the German woman back. But Marcia was a regular spitfire and as Wonder
Woman charged forward she pulled a flagstaff from the wall and threw it at
Wonder Woman, hitting her in the shoulder. As Marcia struck her shoulder
Wonder Woman cried out and retreated. Like a tigress Marcia advanced. She
swung her leg up and kicked Wonder Woman right in the gut, causing her to
double over as the air got knocked out of her body.

Wonder Woman had a hard time dealing with this Nazi. She was unpredictable and
used techniques the Amazon was not familiar with.

Her hesitation gave Marcia the chance to bring a heavy picture frame down over
the Amazon's head and shoulders, trapping her arms against her sides. Off
balance in her red high-heeled boots, she could not stop the Nazi from tugging
at the frame, spinning both of them around until together they crashed through
the glass door of the office and went sprawling on the hallway outside.

Frustrated at her inability to obtain any advantage over her smaller opponent
Wonder Woman turned away from Marcia to free herself from the picture frame
still encumbering her arms and stifling her movement. She was able to remove
the picture frame quickly, but as she did she made the mistake of turning her
back on Marcia which gave the crafty German a unique opportunity. She leapt
knee first into the Amazon's back striking the bigger woman in the kidneys.
Wonder Woman fell forward onto her hands and knees and Marcia seized this
moment to pick up a heavy chair and lifted it above her head before swinging
it with both hands towards the back of the downed Amazon.

Just in time Wonder Woman was able to roll out of the way and the chair broke
in pieces as it hit the floor where she had been just a split second ago.

Wonder Woman got back to her feet and landed a hard front kick to the chest of
the Nazi that knocked her backwards against the wall.

Marcia seemed a bit surprised by the strength from Wonder Woman's kick but
immediately got back to her feet and darted towards the Amazon in aggressive
fashion.

She swung a kick towards the Amazon's crotch but Wonder Woman reared back and
was able to grab her by the ankle. In a swift motion Wonder Woman flung the
Nazi through the hall and caused her to slide over the floor.

Marcia got back to her feet and as as Wonder Woman came forward she pulled a
long pin from her mop hat and stabbed the Amazon in the arm. As Marcia drew
blood Wonder Woman cried out and stepped backwards. Marcia stabbed again with
the pin but this time she missed and the Amazon chopped the pin from her hand.

Wonder Woman swung a punch at the Nazi but the nimble blonde dodged it and
seized the Amazon in an attempt to wrestle her backwards and pin her against
the wall.

Diana used her superior strength to stop this and force Marcia backwards.

However the cunning German had anticipated this. As Wonder Woman pushed
forward she suddenly pulled Wonder Woman with her.

Perfectly using her own force against her Marcia pulled Wonder Woman
completely off balance. Marcia seemed to twist her waist, casually flung the
Amazon over her hip in a perfect Judo throw and dumped her onto the floor.

Completely caught by surprise Wonder Woman hit the floor hard and was stunned
for a split second. Marcia was pleased, the Amazon was clearly highly trained
but did not seem knowledgeable about the art of Judo. Marcia stepped forward
and as the Amazon rose, the German stamped her high heel onto Wonder Woman's
calf. The heroine gasped in pain and struggled to her feet, shaking her 'dead'
leg to free the cramped muscle.

"So you see, Wonder Woman, the judo works after all" taunted Marcia.
Thoroughly shaken, the Amazon moved in a fighting stance. The German was quite
right. She had never encountered the science of jujitsu.. She circled Marcia
cautiously looking for another opening. But the shock of the fall and her
aching leg, had drained her confidence.

Marcia swung a Judo chop which Wonder Woman blocked on her forearm however as
she did the wicked Nazi was able to push her other hand underneath her chin,
causing Wonder Woman to step back to keep her balance.

In a swift motion Marcia wrapped her arms around her opponent's slender waist
and drove forward.

Hooking her leg behind Wonder Woman's she tripped her to the floor, causing
the Amazon to fall flat on her back.

With a ferocious look on her face Marcia straddled the Amazon's chest and
pinned her down.

"Seems like you are not so wonderfull as they think you are." Marcia said
mockingly while she seized the Amazon princess's wrists and began to force
them down above her head.

Wonder Woman gritted her teeth in extertion but was unable to stop the Nazi
from pinning her wrists against the floor.

Marcia had a triumphant look on her face as Wonder Woman seemed helpless at
this point.

However Diana bucked her hips up in an explosive motion and with massive
effort she was able to roll the Nazi off her back and end up on top.

Wonder Woman immediately threw a hard punch in the stomach of the Nazi that
made her grunt in pain.

Marcia replied by wrapping her legs around Wonder Woman's waist and trying to
wrap her arms around her in an attempt to pull her close.

As they struggled on the floor Marcia suddenly flung her leg up and slammed it
over the shoulder of Wonder Woman. Diana grunted to escape as Marcia was
trying to apply a figure four hold around her neck and shoulder for a so
called sankaku strangle.

Diana struggled as Marcia's strong legs were wrapped around her head and arm.
However she was able to slither free and stepped backwards.

However as she did Marcia kicked her leg upwards and shoved Wonder Woman
backwards, giving herself enough time to get back to her feet.

Wonder Woman moved forward in an attempt to overwhelm the smaller Nazi with
her strength and size.

As she stretched towards the German, Marcia faded back and taking her arm,
raised her off the ground. Wonder Woman clawed wildly at thin air. It was no
use; Marcia had her! With a triumphant screech, she powered the helpless
Amazon over her shoulder. Wonder Woman's body tilted as she was levered down
in a shoulderthrow. The German threw her down and Wonder Woman crashed to the
ground, her backside taking the full impact of the fall. She howled in
distress at the pain in the base of her spine. Sobbing with frustration and
distress, the shaken heroine clambered to her feet, this time backing away as
Marcia now, sensing victory, advanced.

"I'd like to play with you for a little longer, Wonder Woman; but I have
things to do - a busy, busy evening ahead." Reacting furiously to this insult,
the Amazon surged forward again throwing caution to the winds in a vain
attempt to snare her opponent. Her attack was easily parried and she never saw
Marcia cup her hands and then slap them towards the sides of her head -
connecting against her ears. Wonder Woman stopped short as her head ringed and
it felt like she was suddenly slipping on ice. Her mouth opened wide
microseconds before her long elegant legs turned to rubber causing her to
stagger in a feeble attempt to regain her balance. Marcia grabbed her by the
hair and pulled her erect. The six foot Amazon stood before her, holding her
ears, legs splayed, eyes glazed and mouth agape.

"That's right, Wonder Woman" she heard Marcia hiss "It's time you faced the
truth. Your days as a super hero are over". Marcia's kick caught the star
spangled woman square between the thighs. Wonder Woman's mouth gawped further
and she made choking sounds, gasping for breath.

She doubled over then dropped to her knees, holding her injured crotch with
both hands, moaning, "Oh I'm hurt" in shocked disbelief. She seemed incapable
of further resistance but some instinct got her back to her feet - in time to
take Marcia's vicious kick. This hit her high to the side of her head and
snapped her head to the side.

She collapsed to the floor as her head was swimming.

Dazed she somehow managed to get back to a sitting position as she tried to
crawl back to her feet.

"Oh no dear, you are tough. However no it is time for you to go out." Marcia
chuckled as she took a knee behind the Amazon and wrapped her arm around her
neck and applied a tight sleeperhold.

"This is called a hadake jime. It is useless to resist me. Just go to sleep
for me." The Nazi whispered in the ear of the Amazon.

Desperate Diana pried at Marcia's arm in an attempt to escape but the choke
was too tight.

The edges of her vision were getting blurry as the blood to her brain was
blocked.

Her whole statuesque body convulsed and her beautiful eyes rolled back. Marcia
grinned as she felt the Amazon slip into unconsciousness.

Marcia held on for a few more seconds and then gently lowered Wonder Woman to
the floor.

The Amazon her arms and legs were splayed out and she looked helpless and
exposed, almost the opposite of the image of the invisible Wonder Woman which
those Americans loved so much.

She stared down at the beaten heroine with satisfaction, she had capitalised
on the Amazon's over-confidence and inflicted a quick but crushing defeat on
the superheroine who should have been able to easily win using her superior
strength and weight in a straight fight. Wonder Woman had been bested by a
more skilful and smarter opponent.

The Amazon Princess lay unmoving for some time. Gradually she stirred then
moaning softly, she raised her head, looking round through a mist of pain. Her
ears, head and her groin ached and her arm stung where she had been stabbed by
Marcia's hat pin. She could taste blood in her mouth. She tried to move and
found that her wrists had been handcuffed behind her back, but otherwise she
was unbound. Her tiara, and bracelets had been removed together with the power
belt and her lasso.

She tried to clear her head. How could this have happened? In all her career
she had never experienced such a defeat. She looked around the hallway to see
the woman who had defeated her rifling through files and packing papers into a
case. Was it possible that this ordinary looking woman rustling around in her
wide skirt, court heeled shoes, mop hat and gloves could have thrashed her so
quickly, comprehensively and easily?

Marcia seemed to sense her movements and closing the briefcase came over and
stared down at the now struggling body of the Amazon princess. "Ah, the
sleeping beauty awakes. I would not bother struggling - the handcuffs might
not hold you normally but as you know, I have taken your little toys away from
you. How do you feel? You will have - how do you say, a real shiner on that
eye soon."

Wonder Woman was still having difficulty in coming to terms with her
situation. "What did you? How did you ? How could you?" Marcia smiled down at
her big captive. "How could I - and you the invincible Wonder Woman - almost
two metres tall and two hundred pounds? I studied in Japan with the masters
before the war. That's how I did it; but your arrogance contributed to your
own downfall. You are so smug, thinking that because you are the champion of
the Amazons we would be no match for you. Maybe you have learned a lesson -
never underestimate your enemy."

Wonder Woman knew that the German was right but as her senses cleared she
tried to play for time hoping to somehow free herself and get another shot at
her opponent. "Look Marcia, see sense. You won't get away with this. Give
yourself up and I will try to help you.."

Marcia laughed at her

"You really are so naive. We have planned this to the last detail - apart from
your interfering presence. Within the hour I will be meeting a U-Boat off Long
Island. My colleagues will have bombed your intelligence centres and we will
be heading back to Germany with a case full of American war plans, all your
Amazon trinkets and you and Steve as our prisoners. I will soon be in Berlin
to receive a medal from the Fuhrer himself and hailed as the German Wonder
Woman who so easily defeated the American's heroine. This will be our
country's greatest propaganda victory!"

Wonder Woman bit her lip and shrank from the Nazi posturing above her. Marcia
was right. Her own stupidity had led her to this. After all her good work her
inept and clumsy behaviour was going to seriously damage the American war
effort. But Marcia was still imagining her triumphant homecoming. "There in
Berlin, the Fuhrer and I together - the German Wonder Woman." She paused and
stared down at the mortified Amazon.

Seizing the Amazon by the ear, Marcia dragged her to her feet and walked her
out of the building.

"Hmm not much wonderfull about you now if only precious Steve could see his
invincible angel now." mocked Marcia. Face streaming with tears of outrage and
shame, Wonder Woman tried to pull herself free from her grasp - a task made
more difficult by having her wrists manacled behind her. Marcia replied with a
hard slap across her face that stunned Wonder Woman and then seized her by the
hair and dragged her through the hallway.

Wonder Woman screamed in frustration but the smaller spy easily manhandled her
and dragged her towards a car.

A hard knee between her legs doubled her over and made her gasp for air,
halting her protests.

Marcia took a rope and used it to tie Wonder Woman's ankles together.

She then threw the Amazon in the trunk of the car.

As Wonder Woman screamed in anger and pain Marcia changed her mind.

"I really should make you shut up now." Marcia smiled sadistically.

She then pinched Wonder Woman's nose shut and as she opened her mouth to
breathe immediately stuffed a pair of dirty socks in her mouth.

As Wonder Woman tried to spit them out Marcia placed her hand over her mouth
and then wrapped several layers of duct tape over her mouth and around her
head to keep the socks in place.

"That is the taste of defeat Princess." Marcia chuckled.

Do not worry, in a few days you will be in Berlin and I will show you to the
Fuhrer himself. She said with a wicked smile and then shut the thrunk.
