Synopsis:
Julia Kapatelis finishes her translation of Harmonia's talisman. The pattern it reveals matches the locations on Steve Trevor's map of nuclear attack bases. Wonder Woman deduces that Ares is trying to provoke a nuclear war. Before they can warn anyone, General Tolliver leads his followers in capturing the bases.

Wonder Woman plans to confront Tolliver and stop Ares. Steve, Julia, Etta Candy, and Matthew Michaelis offer to help. Wonder Woman then places the talisman to a mirror in order to transport their group into a netherworld where the other half of the talisman is held by Deimos. Wonder Woman and her friends battle the sons of Ares, which results in Diana killing Deimos.

Wonder Woman takes possession of the other talisman and joins the two together. She and her friends are then transported to the missile base under Tolliver's control. Ares then reveals himself moments before his plan to destroy the world will come to fruition.
