Wonder Woman

Synopsis for ”U-Boats & Dinosaurs”
Wonder Woman and Trevor are riding on the back of a large dinosaur, looking like a brontosaurus, next to a brachiosaurus. There is a surrounding herd of dinosaurs, and some appear to be carnivores like allosaurus, as well as smaller dinosaurs, like parasaurolophus, triceratops, ankylosaurus and raptors. Later, in the story, there appears to be even flying reptiles like pterodactyl. Wonder Woman talks to the dinosaurs, even the allosaurus, and tells him to be a good dinosaur. Later, she tells Trevor that they are actually herbivores. And Trevor wonders how he ended up in another dimension with an Amazon, who can talk to dinosaurs.he reflects back on the realm of Skartaris and the war going on between tribes there. The evil forces of Villainy Inc are displayed and Clea, an Atlantean monarch, in particular. Trevor and Wonder Woman led an attack on the capital city of Shamballah, and recaptured it largely aided by Wonder Woman destroying the master computer that could even reset time and dimensions. She destroyed it with the trident of Poseidon. In the post war environment, Trevor and Wonder Woman worked on peace between the tribes and rebuilding the cities and even funerals.

Jennifer Morgan, the sorcerer supreme, wanted to send Wonder Woman, and Trevor back to their time frame on Earth, and thus back to the opening dinosaur scene. Wonder Woman notices that the mixture of various birch, maple and oak trees are just like the forest of New England, and not Themyscira. Trevor is a little bit worried about the way the dinosaurs look at him, but Diana reassures him that they’re herbivores, and that they won’t eat him. Diana pulls the trident out of a pouch on the stegosaur and tells Trevor that it was to act as a beacon to bring them back to Themyscira with Jennifer Morgan’s encantation. Wonder Woman is going on aerial reconnaissance, and she leaves Trevor in charge with the dinosaurs and Poseidon’s trident and the cage of the miniaturized people, Villiany Inc. As she flies away towards the shoreline, she notices some Nazis and Clea. She presents Neptunes trumpet to Captain Zahl, which is able to translate any language or code. This would be quite helpful in their war effort against the Americans. As Wonder Woman is looking on the situation, she notices her mother, Hippolyta attacking Clea. Then Wonder Woman knows that she’s been sent back to the wrong place, and even the wrong time period. Wonder Woman is not wanting to interfere in the timeline, but it looks like that her mother will die. She quickly changes into the garb of Miss America, by spinning in a fashion similar to that of the Lynda Carter series. She is immediately recognized by Hippolyta as Miss America. Together the two of them made short work of the Nazis. She attacks Clea and significantly knocks her back —stunned. As Clea regather’s her strength, she boasts to Wonder Woman and Hippolyta that “ Do you think the two of you will stop me? I have power like you’ve never dreamed. I am the monarch of Ventura, and I will conquer Aurania and topple Atlantis—.“ She is then knocked unconscious being struck on the back of her helmeted head with the butt of a rifle by her daughter Ptra. Ptra then explains that if her mother had her way, she would be ruling Atlantis by her side when she conquered it.

Meanwhile, the Germans that escaped with the trumpet of Neptune, are making their way into the woods. Eventually, they find Trevor who has Poseidons trident, and they also find the dinosaurs.The first Nazi pulls his gun on Trevor, but he quickly disarms him with hand to hand combat, and states “ We were supposed to go home. We weren’t supposed to go where there were damn Nazis!” The second Nazi takes off with Poseidon’s trident as well as the trumpet of Neptune. Diana shows up, still dressed as Miss America, and begins to interrogate the Nazi and ask where is his contact, Armageddo located. She changes back with a spin and a flash of light, and now is Wonder Woman. She explained to him that Hippolyta is her mother. She then tries to hide the dinosaurs in the trees as her mother is approaching. Hippolyta smells the smell of large animals and can feel the tremor in the earth as they walk. Diana, now garbed as Miss America, tells her not to worry there’s nothing else. Trevor is looking on at the dinosaurs, sniffing the Nazi, and the dinosaurs do not seem they are just herbivores. Trevor whispers to Diana, dressed as Miss America, but Hippolyta doesn’t overhear, that they were headed to Washington DC to meet Armageddon (the Nazi contact). Diana and her mother takeoff in the invisible plane to intercept the Nazi. Trevor is left there with the cage of the little people that is now opened.
