But peace shatters when Barbara Minerva—Cheetah, now permanently cursed in feline form—crashes onto the island shores. Desperate, she reveals she freed Circe seeking a cure and instead unleashed hell. Circe has returned, vowing to claim Themyscira as her own. Reluctantly, Diana agrees to help. Steve Trevor joins them as navigator, alongside Queen Hippolyta. Their journey to Aeaea is perilous: they battle the Lernaean Hydra and the Nemean Lion, and cross seas haunted by ancient wrath.
