A van was seen driving down a dirt road in the plains of Africa. The armored van drove through the road and the few animals or people who saw it paid no attention to it thinking it was just another tourist vehicle.

Inside driving it was a woman, or what appeared to be a woman crossed with an animal. The woman was a redhead and wore a black outfit, spots covered her body and a tail she also had. She was the reviled and feared criminal The Cheetah. A smirk was on her face as she was nearing her destination and she looked back into the back of the van and her smirk grew into an evil smile seeing the other occupant who was unconscious and had been for many hours.

Laying face down on the floor was a woman with black hair with a headband in it. She wore blue shorts with stars on them and a red shirt and golden chest plate and bracelets on her arms. She was known as Diana hailing from the Island of Themyscira and the world famous Super Heroine Wonder Woman. The Princess of the Amazons was unaware of her plight as she was Cheetah's captive. Unknowingly falling into her trap that she had set for her. Cheetah's eyes narrowed as she thought back.

Cheetah was incensed that someway or another The Amazon would find a way to beat her. How she hated her, hating her perfect body and how she was revered as a symbol of women's strength. Despite the powers bestowed upon her due to the transformation she knew she was always second best compared to her. Her hatred had turned to obsession spending hours and weeks to pinpoint how to defeat her and have her at her feet able to do whatever she wanted to with Wonder Woman.

"But this time," She said with a purr. "This time I have all the power. Soon you will be nothing but my slave and shall do whatever I desire my sweet Amazon." She said and grinned and pulled out a necklace she had stolen two months ago from a Museum in Africa. Seeing the power it possessed she knew that this time, victory would be hers.

She had lured The Heroine out by staging a bank robbery in New York. She knew her type, threaten people and they would come running and right on cue she had appeared determined to stop her. And why not? After all, she had beaten her time and time again.

In a normal regular fight, The villainess formerly known as Barbara Ann Minerva knew that she was no match for the strength and power of Wonder Woman. But that was all changed when she had used her secret weapon. A weapon the Haughty Amazon wouldn't expect or be able to plan against.

She had laced her claws and nails with a drug made from a plant that when entered the bloodstream would knock them out. She had used that opportunity and had slashed her across the arm and it immediately went into effect. Wonder Woman had tried to fight it off but repeated attacks knocked her loopy and barely able to stand and Cheetah smashed a rod into her head knocking her out. She then took Wonder Woman away before anyone showed up.

Wonder Woman had been knocked out for two days, unaware she was loaded up onto a plane Cheetah had stolen and then onto a van.

As she continued the long drive she suddenly heard a moaning sound and she grinned as she looked back and saw Wonder Woman slowly struggling to wake up. She set the Van on automatic drive and stood up and walked to the back. "Well Well, finally awake are we?" She asked her.

"Cheetah!" Wonder Woman shouted looking up at her most hated enemy. She struggled to get up but found herself lacking the strength to do so. Using all the strength in her she struggled to her hands and knees but Cheetah put a stop to that but pressing her foot onto her back knocking her back down. "D-Damn…" She said wearily as she was so weak. She couldn't stand up on her own two feet even if the boot wasn't on her back.

"That Drug will be in you for another six to twelve hours Wonder Woman." Cheetah said to her and squatted down so the two could stare eye to eye. "Your as helpless as a toddler, I could throw you out right now and you couldn't stop me. But I have a better use for you." She said with a grin.

"What do you want?" Wonder Woman asked her glaring at her.

"You…" She responded surprising the Amazon. "I want you Wonder Woman." She said pointing a finger at her. "I want you to serve me, to know what it's like to be the second best. To know what its like to be Inferior."

"Is this what this is all about? Some petty grudge?" Wonder Woman said to her. "I thought you was better than that Barbara." She said to her calling her by her human name.

"Silence! Its more than some grudge you fool!" Cheetah responded with a snarl. "In the end you shall know I was your better. You may have beaten me numerous times before but I only needed one win in order to defeat you and fulfill my plans."

"Enjoy your victory while you can Cheetah, cause once I get a hold of you I'll make it so you are never a threat again." Wonder Woman said to her

Cheetah smirked at her and went up front and got a rag and a bottle and pressed it onto the rag. "I think you could use another nap dearly." She said to her walking to her who squirmed trying to get away. "You're not going anywhere Star Butt." Cheetah taunted her and pressed the Chloroform rag against her mouth and Wonder Woman cried out but slowly her senses dulled and felt herself getting weaker. Cheetah grinned and pressed her own mouth against the rag mockingly kissing her as she fell unconscious. "There, that's much better." Cheetah said putting the rag away. "For so long you've been a thorn in my side you wretched Amazon, time after time you foiled my plans." She said and stroked her shoulder. "But this time I've finally beaten you." She said with a hiss and gripped her arm sharply her nails sinking deep into her flesh. "Soon you will forget everything about your home and your crusade for Justice and your symbol. Instead you shall be my slave and do everything I command." She said and licked her ear.

Cheetah continued driving the van and a half hour later stopped the vehicle as the area had become too thick for it to pass through. She turned it off and opening the door stood outside and nodded as this was it. She went to the back of the van and peered in seeing Wonder Woman still unconscious.

"Still out are we? Looks like I'll have to carry you." She mused and pulled her out of the van and raised her to her feet. She then dropped down and wrapped her arms around her waist and slung her over her shoulder. Carrying the fallen hero like a rag doll. "Just a few more hours left and then you're mine." She said and began trekking through the Jungle carrying her. As she walked the Jungle become deeper and thicker but she paid no mind as she knew where it was she was going.

After an hour had passed and night started to fall she stopped as she had come to a dark cave, the mouth of the cave was shaped to look like a wild cat's. She stepped inside still carrying her in one arm and a flashlight in the other to light the way.

After walking for twenty minutes she stopped as she come to a room. Carvings and writings were on the wall of an tribal language long since forgotten. In the center of it was an altar and on it was an inscription

"Time to wake up Sleeping Beauty." Cheetah said and smacked her face lightly waking her up. Wonder Woman realized she was bound and tied to the altar and despite her efforts still lacked the strength to do so.

"Cheetah untie me this instant or I swear I'll rip your tail off!" She threatened her who smirked as she laid on the altar with her and run her fingers over her covered stomach.

"You're in no position to make threats to me." She said to her. "Allow me to explain what is going on, this is an ancient ritual room where a tribe would offer their prayers and tributes to their gods. The Tribe was a secretive one, few secrets or details of them ever got out, the ones that have been discovered are all in here." Cheetah said and mentioned to her head. "One secret I found most intriguing."

"For centuries the tribe that lived here worshipped their gods until they was wiped out by the coming of Man. But their ruins still remained, this is perhaps the last known worshipping place of that ancient tribe. I discovered they had a ritual they would do. Once every hundred years they would select a Woman to be their gods chosen warrior, Three hundred plus years have passed since the ritual has happened, until now." She said and produced a Necklace she had stolen earlier made out of silver and a golden eye shaped like a cats set in the middle. "This is the key to it once placed on, the wearer would be transformed by the moon's light and do everything that was asked of her by those who put it on here.

Cheetah placed the Necklace around her neck and took amusement at her struggling. "It's all over for you Wonder Woman, nothing can save you from being my slave." She taunted her looking down at her with superiority. "You'll do whatever I tell you with a smile on your face."

"Never, I will never submit to you Cheetah!" Wonder Woman yelled at her who stroked her cheek and cupped her face.

"You're mine." She told her and smooched her on the cheek and looked overhead through the hole in the open as slowly the moon began passing through. "It's showtime." She said and stepped away.

The moon passed through and slowly the light covered her. The Gold in the necklace suddenly glowed and Wonder Woman looked on as a gold light suddenly engulfed her. She cried out as she felt a wave of energy engulf her. Her cries where of pain and agony as she couldn't understand what was going on. She felt something happening to her…she was changing.

Cheetah looked on at her witnessing the transformation, waiting to see how it would end.

Wonder Woman's cries gradually turned into primal roars as slowly fur began covering her body and her fingers became longer and the nails extended as they became more claw like, capable of tearing through solid steel. Her mouth changed as well as her teeth became sharper and more fang like. A bulge suddenly appeared in the back of her shorts and a tail ripped through the threads.

The light of the moon passed over her and her cries stopped as the energy faded and she collapsed on the altar.

"Perfect! It worked better than I ever thought it would." Cheetah exclaimed looking on at the transformed Wonder Woman who had black as night fur covering her body and a tail as well sticking out from the back of her shorts. Her outfit had also changed as well. Her chest plate was basically the same but the eagle and wings had been replaced with the claws of a tiger and the head of a wild cat. Her shorts had changed color as well as the blue was now a purple and in place of stars what appeared to be cat's eyes were now on them.  She walked over to the bound changed woman and cupped her face and looked her in the eye. "Do you know your name?" She asked her. The woman looked confused not understanding. "Answer me, or are you too stupid to remember even that?" She asked with an evil grin.

"No I don't…" The former Amazon said to her, she couldn't remember anything. Faintly she recalled a person who stood for Justice and Hope but couldn't recall anything else.

"I figured as much." Cheetah said to her and reached and stroked her hair and undid the bounds holding her on the altar and stood her up. "You are my servant and partner. I am Cheetah, and you will obey my every command and order do you understand?"

"Yes…" Wonder Woman answered her.

"Good, from now on you are called Panther." She said giving her the new name and title she would go by. "You shall serve me from now on, do what I say and you shall be rewarded and pleasured. Disobey and you shall be punished is that understood?" She asked her.

"Yes Cheetah. I shall do whatever you command." Wonder- No, Panther said to her and bowed her head to her master who wrapped her arms around her a smile of triumph on her face. She cupped her face and kissed her and smiled feeling her return it.

"Good girl, let us go. The world is ours for the taking."
