To Juno : SO be it. The war shall proceed
JUNO : Well it was Aeneas' choice and the Fates! He brought war to a peaceful land...and Venus caused the Trojan war !
Juno plays innocent (she sent the Fury Allecto.) She also rants that Jupiter's anti-war complaints came too late. Annoyed, he pledges not to interfere - The Fates will decide

TURNUS: Fortune speeds the bold. Pallas is mine, and mine alone. I wish his father were here to see it.
Aeneas sails back with the Etruscan fleet as Turnus keeps Trojans pinned at the fort. Soldiers clash on the beach and no one can stand against broad-shouldered Aeneas. Pallas kills many enemies but is killed by Turnus, who takes Pallas' golden sword belt as a trophy.

AENEAS : JUST DIE !
No, I beg you.
The rumour about Pallas' death is heard by Aeneas. Aeneas goes into a killing frenzy and frees the Trojans from the fort. Raging, he even takes several Latins to sacrifice for Pallas's funeral. He kills men who beg for mercy, insults and makes fun of some corpses.

Juno : No see your father first
Turnus : I really want to die
Juno is scared that Turnus will die a 'cruel death' so she speaks to Jupiter weeping "What if you listened to me and let Turnus live?" Jupiter allows it, but it will not change his fate. Juno sends a phantom of Aeneas down from the heavens and Turnus chases it to the boat, which Juno lures away from the battle.
