Wonder Woman in a Shocking Trap! Wonder Woman had responded to a note left for Major Trevor at the War Department. It claimed that someone had vital information to a Nazi spy ring inside Washington. The note however had asked that Steve travel alone and for him to go to a remote warehouse outside the city. To Diana it reeked of a trap so after discovering the note on his desk she had transformed from Yeomen Prince to her heroic alter-ego. Now outside the warehouse Wonder Woman was ready for action. As always she was in her red and golden bustier combined with a golden belt which held a matching colored lasso. From star spangled briefs emerged long suntanned pantyhosed legs which ended in a pair of red and white boots. Her bullet deflecting bracelets reflected the moonlight which glinted off her tiara. Carefully Wonder Woman approached a door that led into the warehouse. Seeing a fresh padlock on it, Diana snapped it with her hand. Her strength being more than a match for the lock Wonder Woman tossed the broken device away. Stepping inside she saw that thick concrete walls formed a narrow hallway. Forced to walk down it Wonder Woman saw the hall way ended in an open doorway. Once through she saw it was a trap. The walls were covered in strange devices that reminded Diana of the ends of big electrical equipment. They all pointed towards the center of the room. Wonder Woman turned to head out the way she came but a heavy steel door landed with loud bang cutting off her escape. Cursing Wonder Woman turned to see if there was another way to escape. "Greetings Wonder Woman!" Diana's eyes narrowed recognizing the voice, "Baroness." Baroness Paula von Gunther laughed over the speaker, "Yes Wonder Woman and thank you for being so kind to fall into my trap." "Where's Major Trevor." Diana demanded. "Oh he's fine, sleeping off a little gas I gave him. Too bad he won't be able to see me destroy you." Wonder Woman raised her arms as the hum of building electricity filled the room. Diana looked at the various devices popping out from the wall. They were buzzing as electrical energy began to fill them. Little arcs of electricity flowed between them. The Baroness explained, "Over a million volts Wonder Woman, all targeted on you!" Suddenly the whine increased and a bolt of lightning lanced out from the wall. Wonder Woman was quick to bring up her bracelets. With a grunt she felt the powerful bolt lanced of her Amazonian metal and into the wall. However the energy was simply absorbed by the wall and fed back into the deadly trap. Seconds later another lightning bolt emerged forcing Wonder Woman to rapidly dodge the bolt. In seconds another lightning bolt zapped at her. Diana blocked it with both her bracelets. It was a strain as the energy dissipated over her bracelets, the lighting pushing her back slightly. When the bolt finally cut off, Diana was visibly drained by the effort. Watching through a periscope the Baroness laughed into her microphone, "That's right Wonder Woman your no match for the power of those bolts, goodbye princess!" The Nazi Agent dialed up the power and watched as more lighting began to shoot out inside the room. Wonder Woman turned blocking the first few bolts. Diana however was being forced to react quicker as more and more electrical discharges lanced out at her. Wonder Woman was forced to dodge more of them than she could reflect back. It didn't take long for the first bolt to hit her and not at the bracelet. Diana grunted as electricity shocked her body. Her Amazon physique tried to shrug off the bolt but the million volt blast had weakened her. Stumbling on her feet a bit Wonder Woman managed to narrowly dodge one bolt and reflect another. She didn't sense the third attack coming from behind till it was too late. Diana had turned just in time for the lightning bolt to hit her square in the chest. She grunted and staggered back. The Baroness sneered and taunted her through the speaker, "That's all it takes Wonder Woman, one bolt and now your helpless." Wonder Woman couldn't argue back as another lightning blast hit her in the side. She stumbled away only to catch another electrical shock. With fighting frequency the lightning lanced out and struck Wonder Woman. Her amazing power began to fail under the assault. Her face gripped by unease and pain Wonder Woman sighed as she fell to her pantyhosed knees. The once strong arms of the Amazon hung at her sides, their strength drained by the constant electrical barrage. Her fall caused Diana to miss a pair of lightning bolts. The image was striking though as Wonder Woman's body fell to her knees, paralleled by the lightning bolts. The Baroness watched in delight as more lighting found the superheroine. Wonder Woman struck multiple times causing her to fall forwards to the ground. Not satisfied that she was defeated, the Baroness directed several more bolts to strike the seemingly helpless Wonder Woman on the ground. No way was Paula going to let Wonder Woman escape. She would pump her with enough volts to fry the American Maiden of Might! Wonder Woman's eyes were heavy her body shuddered with each strike. 'Can't ... stay awake ... ..lost so much ... strength ... ..blacking out ... .for ... ..good?' Diana's body tried to resist one last time. Weakly Wonder Woman pushed up on her forearms. Her head and upper body started to rise. The Baroness wouldn't allow it. "Goodnight once and for all Wonder Woman!" All the power of the room was concentrated in a single lightning bolt which lanced out and struck Wonder Woman right in the back. Diana's eyes closed and her mouth formed an O as the power poured into her. As the electricity cut off her head went slack and the heroine collapsed to the ground. The Baroness waited letting more power charge up in her electrical trap. If Wonder Woman was playing possum, she would quickly finish her. However Wonder Woman didn't stir. The Baroness ordered her henchman in to make sure Wonder Woman was finished. He entered from the floor which held a hidden panel. Walking over the German Agent kneeled next to Wonder Woman rolling her over onto her back. He swiftly removed her lasso and her belt and moved them out of reach. Then he felt for a pulse. For what seemed like hours Paula waited for him to look up and smile. "Fraulien Wonder Woman ... is no more!" A few minutes later the Baroness her men and a captured Major Trevor stepped into the room. Wonder Woman lay on her back hands placed in the funeral position over her stomach. Steve looked on in shock, "What have you done to her?" The Baroness sneered, "I've killed her Major Trevor. Your mighty Wonder Woman is dead as a doornail, as your countrymen would say. With her out of the way, nothing can stop the Third Reich!" That's when Wonder Woman opened her eyes. With a leap up she punched the two thugs holding Steve, before turning on the man who pronounced her demise. A snap kick sent him flying backwards and crashing against the electrodes which were thankfully powered off. The Baroness stepped back amazed. "No ... no you were defeated, destroyed!" Wonder Woman grinned, "Your trap was powerful Baroness, but my body is highly resilient. I was hurt by your electrical rays but you gave me enough time to recover." The Baroness roared with annoyance and swiftly drew her sidearm. Steve caugh her wrist and swiftly twisted the gun from her grip. Paula seemed surprised but then replied with a vicious kick hitting him right between the legs. Steve let out a scream and doubled over while cluthing his smashed groin. With a cruel smile on her face Paula raised her knee and struck him in the face, making him slump to the floor. Wonder Woman looked shocked at Steve but then immediately turned her attention at the Baroness who tried to pick up her gun from the unconscious Steve. Wonder Woman tackled her before she could reach it and both women fell on the floor. Struggling on the floor Diana managed to get on top of the Nazi but Paula was able to kick her off. Both women got back to their feet and looked at each other, slowly circling each other. "You just do not seem to want to go down Wonder Woman. However in the end you will be mine. I will conquer you so the third Reich can conquer the world" "I think not Baroness. As always your schemes will fail." Wonder Woman replied. "I might not have my gun. But you do not have your belt. Which means those superpowers of yours are gone. Seems like we are evenly matched." Paula spoke confidently. "Then perhaps it is time for you to settle this woman to woman instead of hiding behind your traps and electrical shocks?" Wonder Woman spoke as both women were now circling each other. "I completely agree with you princess. Time to settle this." The Baroness said and then leaped at Wonder Woman. In a blur Paula spun around and in an elegant kick she swung the heel of her boot to the side of Wonder Woman's head. Surprised by the speed and grace of the move Wonder Woman was just barely able to raise her arms in time to shield her from the impact. She was able to block the kick, however the hard impact knocked her off balance. In aggressive fashion Paula moved forward and aimed a snapping jab at the Amazon's face. Diana was able to avoid the punch but as she countered with a punch of her own Paula ducked underneath it and connected a thudding uppercut to Wonder Woman's abdomen that made her cheeks puff as the air got knocked out of her lungs. Paula followed up with an elbow strike that cracked Wonder Woman across the face and made her head snap to the side. Intending to quickly overwhelm her foe the Nazi followed up with more strikes and was able to connect a thudding jab to the Amazon's face that reeled her. Seeing her opponent staggering backwards Paula leaped forward and aimed a double handed chop at the sides of Wonder Woman's neck. However in a swift motion Wonder Woman was able to regain her balance, raised her arms and blocked the strikes, before replying with a palm strike to the face that made Paula stagger backwards. Paula attacked with some more strikes but Wonder Woman expertly parried them and replied with a punch to the Nazi's side that made her wince. Now the Nazi was on the defensive as Wonder Woman drove her backwards with a fluid combination of punches and kicks which Paula was just barely able to avoid. Wonder Woman performed a gracefull kick towards Paula's head however the Nazi recognized it in time. In a swift motion she dropped to a crouching position, causing the kick to fly harmlessly over her head. At the same time she swiped her right leg low over the floor and hit Wonder Woman's supporting leg right behind the ankle. The perfectly timed swipe caught Diana completely by surprise and she was knocked of her feet and fell hard to the floor, landing on her back. With a smug smile on her face Paula raised her leg high in the air and then swung it down, aiming her heel in an axe kick to Wonder Woman's head. Wonder Woman rolled to the side and Paula's heel slammed on the floor where her head had been just a split second ago. Wonder Woman pushed off from the floor with her hands in a handspring and connected both of her feet against Paula's chest, making her back off. Both woman came at each other again and this time Wonder Woman slipped underneath the Nazi's stike and was able to slip her arms underneath her armpits and cup them behind the back of her head, trapping the Nazi in a tight full nelson. Wonder Woman began to apply more pressure in order to subdue the Nazi. However Paula was grunting but clearly was not about to surrender. "No way Amazon, you will not win this fight." As she spoke she reached behind her head and clawed at Wonder Woman's hands which were locked together, securing the full nelson. She managed to seize the fingers of her right hand and slowly but surely pull it away. As she slipped free she was able to seize Wonder Woman's arm and get behind her, one hand holding her wrist and the other pushing behind the elbow. Using this lock she began to apply downward pressure to force her to the ground. With the tables now turned it seemed Wonder Woman was unable to avoid getting forced to a prone position. However instead of fighting the hold Wonder Woman moved with it and performed a perfect front flip to escape the grasp of Paula. Both women circled each other as they looked for slightest opening or tell they could exploit. Paula had been surprised by the way Wonder Woman moved, and she could not help but be impressed by her foe. Moving forward she attempted to connect a quick stomping kick to Wonder Woman's knee in an attempt to unbalance her and set up a next attack. However the Amazon was ready and deftly avoided the kick with a step to the side. She then replied with a swift round kick to the Nazi's side. However in a quick motion Paula caught her leg and then trapped it under her armpit. Raising her other arm she then slammed it down, connecting the tip of her elbow hard in the inner thigh of Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman felt a jolt of pain explode through her thigh as it was clear the Baroness had hit a nerve cluster. Moving with the momentum of her first strike the Baroness let Wonder Woman's leg go and spun around, swinginging her other arm towards Wonder Woman's face in a reverse elbow. Not expecting this Wonder Woman was stunned as the tip of the Nazi's elbow collided agains the side of her face. Without pause Paula seized the dazed heroine by the shoulders and then slammed her knee hard into her abdomen. Wonder Woman let out a loud "Uuuhhhh!!!" as the air got knocked out of her lungs, making her cheeks puff. With her left hand Paula seized a hand full of Diana's dark hair and pulled her head down. She followed up by wrapping her right arm around Wonder Woman's neck and slid her legs back to create space. The Baroness clasped her hands together, squeezing Wonder Woman's neck in a front headlock called a guillotine choke hold. She instantly applied maximum pressure across her throat by bringing her arms in an upward motion as she regained her initial upright stance. The back of her neck was trapped under her armpit. Wonder Woman struggled mightily to escape, but the Nazi had a tight grip. The Baroness her arm cinched even tighter around her neck. Wonder Woman felt the pressure increase on her pinched-closed airway, making it feel like her neck was getting compressed in a vice. She kept trying to pry the Nazi's arm from her throat as the burning pain in her lungs was increasing with the second. However Paula held tightly and used her leverage to keep squeezing down on her neck. Wonder Woman could not help but produce a gurgling sound as her lungs were now screaming for oxygen, however this only seemed to encourage the Nazi to increase the pressure on her chokehold. Wonder Woman her vision was fading, starbursts in her periphery warning her that she was out of air... She barely felt it when her legs gave out as her entire body became limp, her body now hanging limp in Paula's grasp drew a a short laugh from the Nazi. It's that laugh that ushered her into darkness. Paula smiled and held the chokehold for a more seconds to make sure Diana was unconscious. She then dropped the Amazon to the floor, causing her head to hit the floor with a loud thud. With her feet she rolled the Amazon to her back and gazed down at her. Diana was out cold and The Baroness could not help but plant her feet on the Amazon's ample chest in a classical victory pose. "Oh Diana, always so righteous and thinking so highly of yourself. However now I finally beat you. You are mine." She said with a devious smile on her face. She placed her feet on the Amazon's throat. "It would be so easy to kill you and Major Trevor here. I could simply choke under my feet. It would be such a fitting ending for you, dying underneath the boot of the superior woman." Paula chuckled while she began to apply more pressure to Wonder Woman's throat. However she then relieved the pressure and smiled wickedly. "However I am not going to do that. I will bring you two to Germany as living proof of my victory. I will be celebrated and you two will remain prisoners." She took Wonder Woman's lasso and used it to tightly secure the Amazon Princess. The Nazi then used rope to tie up Major Trevor. As Diana was starting to wake up The Baroness looked amused at her. "You have been beaten Wonder Woman. And just as I defeated you the third reich will conquer America."
