The Rogue and the Princess

Chapter 5: The Battle with Ares

3rd Person POV

After paying the hospital and also preparing for the battle with Ares. Diana, Steve, and Saber then went to where Ares is, both Steve and Diana use the Invisible Plane that Saber built for them and as for Saber, he uses Vimana and matches the speed with the Invisible Plane.

As for Ares, he was now in an elevated area as he looked at his soldiers from before. All of them armed to the teeth and ready to fight at his command.

Ares: "You've waited patiently, my friends but the time has come once again to spread my gospel of death. Now, let the natural state of mistrust and betrayal run through the soul of every man until I may walk across the earth on the backs of five billion corpses."

Ares' army cheered for their leader's speech. From a distance, the United States Army was aiming for Ares who was on the Lincoln Memorial. Their tanks adjust and calibrate, aiming at both Ares and his soldiers. The troops all have their grenade launchers or some RPG but as they aim, the soldiers of Ares attack them. The United States Army was in disarray, failing the assassnaition attempt. Spears thrown, flying monsters in the air. From the sky, Belial can see the havoc that Ares is causing.

Belial: "Well, well. I guess I'll just let my puppet do his thing. And as for me... Well, why not go and make myself scarce and do my master's bidding."

???: "Lord Belial. It is time. The mothers are here."

Belial: "Very good. Oh, and keep watch on our Saber. Okay? I'm going to be very, very angry at you if you don't do it."

???: "R-right, sir. Oh, and sir? Permission to release that?"

Belial: "Very well, make it as my farewell gift."

???: "Of course, sir."

Belial then leaves and that one demon started looking at the battlefield with a popcorn in his right hand then a soda on his left hand and not to mention a spear that pierced his chest. The demon then falls from the sky and dies, behind the demon was Saber on Vimana. As for both Diana and Steve. Diana glanced back at Steve and started to converse with him.

Diana: "Sorry I reacted the way I did at the hospital."

Steve: "I'm sorry too. Since we've met... I don't think I've done the best job of representing the masculine ideal unlike someone else... The truth is, I'm really not such a pig... Well, that's not the truth. I am a pig. A womanizer. Been one for a long time now, sometimes I think it's all because I don't wanna be hurt. Well, not again. This macho bravado, it's all a façade... Wait. why am I telling you this?"

He looked at his foot as it was stepping on the Lasso of Truth.

Steve: "God, I hope you Amazons can't mass produce this thing."

Diana smiled. Amused by Steve's blunder. He closed his eyes for a bit until he looked at Diana with a serious look on his face.

Steve: "Okay, I'm not stepping on the Lasso, good. I want to talk to you about you and Saber. I... Well, I saw you hugging him and him petting you."

Diana: "You saw that, huh? Well. I wanted to thank him for what he did for us."

Steve: "Yeah, I know. But I don't really think I have a chance to bring you back. But I guess that's fine. After all, he is somewhat like a God, right?"

Diana: "What are you talking about?"

Steve: "Well, I don't know about him but I do like you quite a bit. But, I guess, seeing you and him together isn't really making me angry but it made me happy. So, what I'm trying to say is... Good luck with your relationship."
