This time Diana awakens on the outskirts of the city of Shangri-La. Though the Shakyamunis warrior-monks who once lived in the city are long gone, their treasure the Tiara of the
Shakyamunis remains. The city itself is protected by supposedly fierce beasts who threaten anyone who dare entry the city in search for it's treasure. Early on upon arrival, Diana's life is saved by a group of gun-toting treasure hunters who kill one of the beasts that attacked Diana. They're lead by a woman by the name of Pricilla Rich (of the Baltimore Riches).
Though thankful for saving her life, Diana detests their use of their "death machines" and goes off on her own to retrieve the Tiara. Arriving at the chambers where the tiara is kept, she finds that the fierce beasts are but tired and loyal guardians and she develops a kinship with the misunderstood animals. The armed treasure hunters are no match for the Last Amazon as she realizes that her newly acquired gauntlets deflect bullets from their guns and protect her from harm! Though the explorers make off with what they believe is the tiara, the beastly protectors reveal that the treasure they had made off with is nothing more than empty gold. The actual tiara was kept hidden from sight. They willingly impart the tiara to it's rightful owner and bid her farewell as she continues on with her journeys.

Meanwhile, Other-Barry is still dealing with his problems with Iris. She doesn't need the super-speedy hero. All she wants is a husband. And with great deliberation, Barry decides that's what he's going to give her. He takes off his trusty Flash ring and vows his commitment to Iris Allen West from here on out!
