This is considered fan-fiction.
This story was inspired by multiple TV shows, comics and stories from this site. Examples include DC’s Flashpoint storyline, Greek mythology with some ideas from TV Shows such as “Baki”, “Blood of Zeus” and “Ooku: The Inner Chambers”. Some Saradas stories that truly inspired my writing include grbaclig (Little Sister is a Big Bully, Fast Times at Flexington High) Jayder (Domestic Muscle) and GDF-8 (A Bodybuilder’s Tale). My favourite female muscle artist is CrisShapes, DC Matthews and Reddyheart, and the girls in my stories were clearly inspired by their characters.

PROLOGUE: PART 1
First, let’s introduce the major players in the story:
Humans – Set in an alternate Earth, humans are the predominant species in the story. They believed they are the predominant rulers of the Earth, until the First and Second Ages of Integration in 1945 and 2008 respectively, proved otherwise.
The Amazons – Hailing from their mysterious home island of Themyscira, the Amazons are a warrior race of human subspecies, consisting of only women. Known to be created by the Greek Gods of Mount Olympus thousands of years ago as the protectors of the Greek Empire, these Amazons are genetically superior to normal humans. With the fall of the Greek Empire and Mythology, they have seen their purpose disappear and have lived in seclusion in their utopian island of Themyscira. After a WW2 plane crash landed on their island, the first contact between Amazonians and the outside world was made. With the shifting of trends towards increasing global conflict, their Queen Hippolyta and her daughter, Princess Diana, have decided to integrate the Amazons with the entire world, with the aim of empowering humans with the true values of the Amazonian race. This was recorded in history as “The First Age of the Integration”.
Physically, as a result of their superior genetic conditioning and brutal warrior training from such a young age, Amazons are fit, athletic and well-built ladies, with even the smallest Amazons possessing the mesomorphic body proportions equivalent to an IFBB Women’s Figure Pro, and bigger ones sporting much more muscular frames of an IFBB Women’s Physique and Bodybuilding Pros. The average height of an Amazon is around 6 foot 3 or 1.91 metres (compared to average human male of 5 foot 9 or 1.75 metres, and an Olympic male swimmer’s average height of 6 foot 2 or 1.88 metres), and an Amazon’s average weight is around 220 pounds (compared to average NBA players’ weight of 216.52 pounds). One of the traditional sports held yearly in Themyscira has been bodybuilding, and with their integration into the human world, they introduced this sport to their human counterparts. Thus, the first Olympia was held in the island of Themyscira. Today, Amazons are invited as honourable guest posers in the Olympia events, with the real contest was done between humans only because if Amazonians competed, it would be an unfair fight to humans.
Despite that, the body of an Amazon is not just for show. Their physical strength is much superior compared to any human being, with Princess Diana herself being stronger than 10 fully grown human men. They have superhuman stamina, durability and agility, with a superior metabolic rate as well. A biopsy of an Amazonian warrior’s bicep found an incredible mitochondrial density about 10x greater than a regular human male and packed with a far denser muscle fibre structure per unit volume of muscle. An Amazon’s ovaries are twice the size of a male testicle, producing 5x as much testosterone as an adult male, but their superior female bodies were adapted to utilise the testosterone purely for muscle building and avoid the steroid pumping side-effects of acne, hirsutism and deepening voices, conserving their feminine beauty with enhanced muscle growth. Their oestrogen production, the main female hormone, was also 4x higher than that of human females, giving them incomparable feminine beauty and grace, armed with ample natural breasts that looked even better than any artificial breast implant, wide luscious hips and womanly glutes, and a sexily athletic feminine figure that would qualify them for any swimsuit modelling agency. As a proof of their dominance, shortly after integration, Amazons participated in their first Olympics, sweeping every single gold medal in contention and smashing every single world record in both men and women categories. To put matters into perspective, Artemis, the First General of Themyscira, broke the 100m sprint world record in the 1948 London Olympics with a time of 6.39 seconds. The closest any human ever came to that record was Usain Bolt’s 9.58s in 2009. The 100m freestyle swimming record set by the Amazonian Navy’s First Admiral Antiope in the same Olympics was 34.30 seconds, and to put that into perspective, the current men’s 100m freestyle world record was 46.86 seconds. By mutual consent, the Amazons withdrew their participation in all human sporting activities due to the superior physical advantage they held.
Besides that, due to their genetic supremacy, all Amazonian women possess incredibly symmetrical facial features, perfect skin conditioning and youthful looks, making them the most beautiful women in the entire world. The top 20 highest paid supermodels are all Amazons, and ever since their first Miss Universe participation in the year 1990, they have won every single edition until their voluntary withdrawal from all future Miss Universe events starting 2003.
Being from an island with only female inhabitants, Amazons reproduce in very unorthodox methods. Before their integration in the human world, for centuries, Amazons would venture out of their island to raid the high seas in search of lonely human sailors to plant their seeds and continue the Amazon bloodline. Seeing how a bevy of naked, angelically gorgeous women would want to throw themselves at them, most sailors would oblige and for those who wouldn’t oblige, the Amazons would usually get their way as well by forcing themselves on them and rape them, which wasn’t hard considering the Amazon’s superior physicial strength. But not all men were that lucky, for there was a catch, as Amazons mate and get turned on by only the most virile and masculine men. That meant warrior men, strong men and handsome men. The weaklings and wusses would be thrown overboard. And with the intense testerone-filled libidous drive of the Amazonians, sex with them was brutal, primal, animalistic and violent. Most men, no matter how strong and masculine they are, would be crushed by the Amazon’s dominant sexual aggresion and intense orgasms. And after nine months, the Amazons would give birth to a daughter, fresh and immortal, to be trained in the warrior ways of the Amazon. And that was the beauty of it all, Amazons could only bear daughters, for the Amazonian womb physiology would render the male fetuses toxic.
Amazons also possess increased cognitive abilities, with their IQ ranging between 130 to 150, which is basically in the “Superior intelligence” to “Genius” range. After integration, Amazons are sent to study in the best universities in the world and they usually end up top of their class, pioneering in multiple ground-breaking discoveries. Amazons, despite being warriors by training, are now being absorbed into human industries, holding managerial positions in 40 out of the top 50 richest companies in the world, winning 80% of all the Nobel prizes since 1960 and scoring consistently in the top 0.5% of SAT scores in USA every single year. Since 1980, Themyscira has been inducted as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, and Queen Hippolyta is considered arguably the most powerful person in the world.
With all that in mind, we must also note that the Amazons are basically immortal due to their arrested ageing. Queen Hippolyta is 3000 years old (but doesn’t look a day over 35), Princess Diana is 800 years old and is considered part of the younger Amazonian generation, and Artemis is 1200 years old (despite looking no older than a 25-year-old supermodel).
So all in all, in shortened terms, an Amazon is the prime human specimen. It is no doubt that the Amazons, despite having a population of only 80,000, are the dominant race on Earth. This changed until the Atlanteans arrived.
The Atlanteans – Coming from their home world of Atlantis, a sprawling ancient underwater empire spanning the entire North Atlantic Ocean, almost the size of an entire continent. To them, humans are known as “surface-dwellers” and for thousands of years, they have lived in isolation in the depths of the ocean floor, far from the chaos of their human counterparts. However, this changed when their king, Aquaman, took the throne in 2005 after his mother, Queen Atlanna died. You see, Aquaman was raised by his father, a surface dweller, for most of his life. It was only after Queen Atlanna died that he discovered his birthright as the heir to the Atlantean throne. When he first became king, it took him three years to win the support of his subjects, mainly through the elimination of rebelling tribes in the South Atlantic, Arctic and Mariana Trench. Now, with his kingdom reunited, he could finally fulfil his vision of uniting both the surface world and Atlantis. He had grown up for 30 years in America and had seen the impact the Amazons had on the world. He wanted to do the same with Atlantis.
So in 2008, the history of mankind was introduced to The Second Age of Integration, this time with Atlantis. The underwater kingdom, with its vast resources and population, was the most advanced civilization on Earth. They discovered electricity 800 years before surface dwellers did by cloning the cells of electric eels, and had already mastered quantum mechanics, relativity and artificial intelligence way before Newton discovered gravity. This technological superiority was shared with surface dwellers, and this has allowed Atlanteans to gain a strong influence in global affairs. With their dominance, Atlantis secured a permanent place in the United Nations Security Council and King Aquaman also rose to prominence as one of the most powerful people in the world.
Not only that, just like the Amazons, the Atlanteans had a genetic makeup that is vastly different from normal humans. The most striking is their unique physiology, which allowed them to breathe and live underwater. Under the protection of Poseiden, God of the Seas, all male Atlanteans were blessed with a hulking muscular physique, all of them sporting the aesthetic frame of an IFBB Men’s Classic Physique Pro, like a race of superior Chris Bumsteads and Ramon Dinos, while the female Atlanteans, even though they are not as muscular as their Amazonian counterparts, they all look absolutely gorgeous in their IFBB Wellness and Bikini Pro physiques, like a bevy of Francielle Mattoses and Choi Saras. Both male and female Atlanteans possess superhuman strength, durability, agility, and stamina that could rival that of Amazons. This is of course, all in theory as there was no documented fight between an Atlantean and an Amazon recorded officially.
While not immortal like the Amazons, Atlanteans possess the unique ability of communicating with sea-creatures. That could be a major weapon in their arsenal, for they could summon a pack of sharks or a school of whales in a matter of minutes to add to their armies.
So, in summary, Atlanteans were another race of superior human subspecies, but with the added ability of underwater adapatability.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Now, I hope you’re not too overwhelmed with the information. Now let’s move on with the story.
Despite the growing influence of the Atlanteans, while there was a growing tussle for power between Amazons and Atlanteans (much like a milder version of the Cold War between America and the Soviet Union), the world was basically at peace, prospering with the shared co-existence between humans, Amazons and Atlanteans. Distrust still remained between Amazons and Atlanteans, each kingdom vying for the ultimate dominance of the world. The Amazons, with their legions of powerful, intelligent and charismatic warrior women, gaining the utmost respect, especially from the human female population, a vanguard for the growing feminist movement. Atlanteans, with their thousands of years of scientific advancement, were seen as idols for innovation, exploration and discovery. Many times, Amazons and Atlanteans disagreed openly in United Nations debates and many times, Amazons had to compete with Atlanteans for awards and political positions. While humans benefitted significantly from this competition, the quiet animosity between Atlanteans and Amazons grew.
However, disaster struck in 2019.
It all started with a school of infected whales washed up just off the eastern coast of Canada. A group of Atlantean soldiers cleared the dead animals, observing the traditional Atlantean rites, but days later, one-by-one, the soldiers fell ill and died.
It was a brutal pestilence of parasitic origins. Apparently, when spread among people, it was airborne and waterborne, but the weird thing was…it only affected males. Once inhaled, the transmissible form of the parasite gains entry into the bloodstream through the lungs. This occurs for both men and women. However, the next phase of the parasitic life cycle only affects men. After entry into the bloodstream via the lungs, the parasites spread to the testicles, incubating and multiplying there. Once its colonies grow exponentially and mutate into their activated form, the parasites get released from the testicles and spread to the other organs, causing severe liver, kidney and heart failure. The victims die in a matter of days. Since women had no testicles, the parasites are trapped in the body and had no opportunities to multiply and mutate into its aggressive form, rendering women safe from the disease but they acted as silent vectors of transmission to other males, via the air and water. And its worldwide spread was extremely fast. Within 1 week, it has spread to all six continents, the WHO declaring a state of emergency. It first killed off Atlantean males, but soon, its mortality spread to human males as well. Death rates between elderly and male children were almost 100%, while that of adult males were almost 80%. Within two months, a substantial percentage of the global male population was decimated, and the world was in a state of chaos. Atlanteans as well. History called this The Great Death.
With almost every country in the world crippled, the only kingdom which was relatively unaffected by all this was Themyscira, due to its female-only population. The ensuing chaos meant that developing of a cure or vaccine was of utmost importance, desperate even. Queen Hippolyta and Princess Diana ordered a recall of every Amazon scattered across the world back to Themyscira, to regroup all their resources in order to develop a vaccine/cure. Within 6 months since the first patient was infected, a vaccine prototype was developed, and by 8 months, it was in full mass production. By 1 year, 80% of the surviving population, regardless male or female, was successfully vaccinated, but it was too little, too late. 75% of the human male population had died from the disease, making the remaining 25% a valuable resource for the future of human reproduction. The greater female population now had to step up and join the workforce to kickstart the economic rebuild. And who better to lead this feminine revolution than the Amazon superwomen.
Known as the race that steered humanity out of The Great Death, the Amazons led and inspired a new generation of young women to achieve their destiny. Amazonian charisma, leadership and power fuelled the female population, and never before had the Amazons been worshipped so majestically. Some populations even abandoned their religions altogether and erected statues of great Amazonian leaders: Queen Hippolyta, Princess Diana, First General Artemis, First Admiral Antiope and many more.
As for the dwindling men, they are seen as a scarce resource and essential to the continuation of the human population. Therefore, to ensure they are protected from the occasional sporadic outbreaks of The Great Death, they are kept “quarantined” at home to take over household duties, and also to act as sperm donors and sexual partners to satisfy the reproductive and sexual needs of the larger female population. Male prostitution was sanctioned and regulated, and many of them are paid handsomely as well by single young women who seek to produce offspring and satiate their primitive lustful desires. Only the richest women could afford to marry a man for herself and pay a valuable dowry to his family in order to take his hand in marriage. Because of the business-like nature of this “transaction”, there was this unwritten perspective that men are now seen as a woman’s property, to be bought, sold and rented out to other women as income whenever the wife sees fit.
As for the Atlanteans, they too suffered a catastrophic blow from the decimation of their male population. Only 10% of males remain, making them a highly valuable resource. Just like the surface world, they are to be closely monitored, fed and regulated, used purely for the purpose of reproduction. All men in the Atlantean army were discharged and fully replaced by their female counterparts.
Amazingly, King Aquaman was one of the survivors of The Great Death. He was infected though, but miraculously made a partial recovery. Some say he would never regain his former strength. While research shows that the testicular infection would eventually heal, he found this not to be his case and he was ultimately sterile. His Queen, Mera, was utterly devastated and with a weakened king and no heir, the Atlanteans were desperate to solve this issue.
So logically, they decided to head to the place where the most advanced research for The Great Death was done: Themyscira. Going up to the surface world after such a disaster, the world looked so different. The Amazons were worshipped like Goddesses by the surface dwellers, especially the women and it pains Atlanteans to see their power relinquished to their closest political, scientific and economic rival. And even now, he was seeking their help and expertise to solve the issue of his sterility and inheritance.
As Queen Mera stayed behind to oversee the crucial rebuild of Atlantis, King Aquaman and his convoy of now personal female guards proceeded to Themyscira.
Princess Diana was already awaiting his arrival at the Amazonian Palace, her guards escorting the Atlantean guests to a picturesque corner, a veranda built atop a seaside cape, the waves of the Aegean Sea crashing against the collection of seaside rocks. In Themyscira, all indoor buildings are to be stepped barefoot as the Amazons value hygiene a lot. Princess Diana was reclined over a lounge chair, being fed a bundle of grapes by a human maid, the princess’ right arm curling a stacked up dumbell, her well-defined mango-sized bicep contracting with each pump, her cephalic veins rising very prominently from her skin. At first glance, it looked like any regular dumbell, around 180 pounds from the size of it, but upon closer inspection, King Aquaman noticed that it was made of osmium instead of the regular cast iron. Osmium was much denser than iron, which meant Princess Diana was lifting much heavier than a mere 180 pounds…doing the math, King Aquaman shivered as he realised, she was lifting over 500 pounds…with one arm! Almost 100 pounds heavier than the strongest male Atlantean warrior he had ever met. And she wasn’t even sweating, as if this was just some casual pump to pass the time!
As she stood to greet her guests, King Aquaman checked out the Amazonian beauty before his eyes. Princess Diana was dressed in a white chiffon exomis with loincloth, a staple of Amazonian attire, baring her right chest to show off a set of well-contoured and full-looking pectoral muscles, her perky and shapely C-cup breast confidently on display. A golden belt was fastened around her waspishly thin midsection, causing the fabric to hug her figure, demonstrating the breadth of her flaring lats and a jaw-dropping V-taper. The thigh splits on either side of her loincloth showed off much of the rippling muscularity in her well-defined quads, the striations dancing with every twitch of her toes. As she dropped the monstrous dumbell, King Aquaman could see Diana’s capped, fully rounded deltoids bulging out from both shoulders, a juicy vein crossing sexily over the vast muscle bellies. She looked very much like a contest-ready and perfectly conditioned Olympia Women’s Physique competitor, one that was able to humble the likes of Natalia Coelho, Shanique Grant and Sarah Villegas. Princess Diana looked queenly, strong and powerful, an aura fit for a goddess, in contrast to King Aquaman’s fatigued, atrophied body. King Aquaman was under her mercy, and she knew it.
“Leave us,” Princess Diana ordered the guards, her voice full of conviction and respectable authority.
“Greetings, Aquaman. I apologise that my mother, Queen Hippolyta is not here to greet you. She was expecting you but this morning, she was invited to the United Nations for an important meeting, to present a new 9-point plan to eradicate the problem of food insecurity in the shortage of male farmers. Now, what brings you desperately out of the silent depths of your seas and into our utopian paradise, Aquaman?” Princess Diana said, settling onto her lounge chair again. There was no other seat for King Aquaman, but he ignored it and went straight to the point.
“Princess Diana, it is a problem of my heritage. I know The Great Death is not supposed to render men infertile, but somehow it did to me. I need a legitimate heir or chaos will reign Atlantis over the question of the throne. With your superior research over The Great Death, do you have any resources that can help me be fertile again?” King Aquaman said.
Princess Diana reached for a glass of red wine and took a sip. It was delicious, no doubt it was one of her favourites, a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley. “Ah, that’s some good wine. So, you have unfortunately suffered the rare complication of permanent sterility as a result of the infection. How pitiful. However, due to the rarity of this complication, our research into this issue is limited. Of course, we could gladly spare a division of our best Amazon scientists to study this, but funding will be an issue. You see, most of our financial resources are directed to the economic recovery of the world, and research into the different mutating strains of the parasite cropping up every week takes precedence as well. I’m sure you are a smart man, Aquaman. Surely you can see that these are much more pressing issues to address. We do not want a second Great Death, do we? Unless you are willing to fund this research yourself, then we could gladly comply, if you are that desperate,” Princess Diana explained.
“Unfortunately, the vaults of Atlantis are all but dried up. We may not be able to afford it.”
“Oh well, a pity then. In that case, I cannot help you. I’m sorry Aquaman. Perhaps once the world recovers financially, we may be able to aid you in this research.”
“No, between me and you Princess Diana, I have to tell you, I may not regain my full strength. I wake up every morning, coughing up blood from all that lung injury, and one of my kidneys is already damaged. I may not have time. The enemies of Atlantis are eyeing my demise.”
“I’m sorry, Aquaman, but my hands are tied. Though, I can assure you, in the case where Atlantis calls for help in matters of economics and politics, Themyscira will answer. Until then, I am unable to help you.”
Then suddenly, King Aquaman felt a sudden surge of pain rushing into his head, as if someone drilled a hole into his skull and poked their fingers into his brain. His eyes are threatening to pop out of his sockets, his sclera filled with bright red capillaries.
“ARRRGGGGHHHH!” King Aquaman screamed, clasping his head with both hands. His mouth was salivating profusely like a rabid dog, the veins on his temples throbbing like crazy.
“Aquaman!” Princess Diana yelled. This couldn’t be it, could it? she asked herself. She had read some of the research papers before, a few documented cases of transient psychosis preceeded by excruciating headaches and rabid episodes. Another rare complication of The Great Death, a consequence of the parasite attacking the brain tissues during the course of the infection.
Suddenly, out from the edge of the water, two Great White Sharks emerged and attacked Diana. She was taken by surprise, but her warrior instincts told her the exact time to duck. With her superhuman strength, she caught one of the sharks in midair and wrapped her arm around its belly in a bear hug, her pumped up muscles exploding from the workout, clamping down mercilessly like a nutcracker until she heard its bones crack. She had to let go of the carcass as the second shark came charging at her, the ugliest razor-sharp teeth baring, jaws wide open. Swiftly, she grabbed onto its upper and lower jaw, preventing it from snapping down at her. She held that position for a moment, before shifting her weight and without a shred of doubt, ruthlessly ripped its mouth wide apart, splitting the lower jaw from the rest of its body. As the predator died in her arms, she lifted the 3000-pound shark carcass over her head and tossed it back into the sea from whenced it came. She made the whole ordeal look smooth and effortless, and in a way, it was. Amazonian warrior training was much tougher than this.
“Aquaman! I want you to call off the sharks and for God’s sake, oh Great Hera, get a hold of yourself!”
But Aquaman was not himself anymore. In his eyes now were a pure psychotic lust for violence, and the shark attack was just a decoy.
“Pretty…” he groaned.
With Diana preoccupied, Aquaman pounced. She was fast enough to react and halt his charge, their hands locking in a Mercy position. For a patient who just recovered, the psychosis had given Aquaman a surge of strength, but Diana knew, she was Amazonian. She was stronger than him.
She turned up to second gear and wrestled him hard. She was winning, smoothly forcing him down onto his knees. This man was out for blood, and in a desperate bid for survival, she twisted his wrists, severing his bones as he screamed in pain.
Unperturbed, much like a rabid dog, he started biting at her ferociously. In an attempt to prevent herself from being turned to Amazonian meat, she swung a wild punch at his face which she felt shattered his zygomatic bone. That was not meant to be fatal, but the ensuing fall was. The inertia from Diana’s powerful strike sent Aquaman’s body flying with so much force, that it sent his head crashing into one of the rocks on the cape, shattering his skull. And just like that, King Aquaman was dead.
“Nooo! My King!” one of the female Atlantean guards screamed, barging in after hearing the commotion. “You killed him!”
“No, Atlantean! You misunderstand! He attacked me and I was merely defending myself!” Diana yelled.
But the Atlantean guard was having none of it. More Amazonian warriors were already marching towards them. She rejoined the rest of her platoon and they jumped into the ocean and was never seen again.
Princess Diana sighed, observing King Aquaman’s corpse.
“Take his body, clean it and prepare my submarine. I will send him back to the Atlanteans personally,” Diana ordered as her warriors approached. “Hurry up, the Atlanteans are stubborn and are quick to jump to conclusions. They will be angered.”
But as fast as they worked, in mere hours, catastrophe struck. A huge tidal wave surge formed in the horizon, gathering as high as ten miles in height, rumbling towards the coast of Themyscira. It seems that Queen Mera was having none of it. She only wanted vengeance.
The giant tsunami engulfed the entire island of Themyscira and almost half of Europe, from the coast of Portugal right up to the foot of the Swiss Alps. Millions of Amazon-worshipping humans perished. In Themyscira, their homeworld gone, right in the blink of an eye, along with 20,000 of their most courageous female warriors. This was known as The Nuclear Flood.
Princess Diana however, managed to escape in their fleet of invisible jets with the rest of her 60,000 warriors, seeking sanctuary in the United States, which was unharmed by the tsunami. Hours later, Queen Hippolyta was found dead in her UN hotal room, along with her four Amazon warrior guards, surrounded by the corpses of 40 female Atlantean assasins.
That same night, in an internationally televised announcement, Queen Mera, wearing the royal golden helm of Queen Hippolyta, declared war on the Amazons for their assassination of the King Aquaman, and the surface world. It was clear to Diana now, that the tsunami was not just out of vengeance, but also out of jealousy. The Great Death have decimated the Atlantean empire, and the Amazons now ruled the surface world with their unrivalled influence. Humans worshipped Amazons, and Atlantis could not accept that. And so they sunk half of Europe as a lesson. And with the sunken landmass, Atlantis inadvertently expanded their oceanic borders, half a continent’s resources now underwater, free for them to plunder.
The next day, now known as Queen Diana, she responded by declaring war on Atlantis, and established the United States as the new Amazonian homeworld of New Themyscira.
