The army's careless murders in Seattle caught Alice's attention, which allowed her to see the moment they decide to confront them in [[Forks, Washington|Forks]]. After the Cullens were denied the [[Denali Coven|Denali coven]]'s help, the Quileute wolves agreed to join forces in order to protect their town as well as Bella. [[Jasper Hale]], having knowledge with how to defeat newborns, agreed to train the wolves and his family to face the army as well as formulate strategies to ease the fight. One of their strategies involved the newborns' ignorance of the wolves' existence, which gave them an edge in the confrontation. To disrupt the newborns' ability to focus, Bella used her scent to lead them into the battlefield, and then used Jacob's scent to mask hers and go into hiding. An unexpected advantage they did not participate was the escape of [[Fred]], the most gifted member in the army, which gave the Cullens and the pack a better chance at the fight.

While most of the battle took place in a clearing, Victoria, Riley Biers, Bella Swan, Seth Clearwater and Edward Cullen fought on a mountain top after Riley and Victoria discovered their location. Edward managed to destroy Victoria while Seth killed Riley.
The army split in two groups to surprise the Cullens, but they were caught off guard by the wolves. The war ended with the Cullens and the wolves as the winners, with only Jasper getting bitten and Jacob getting injured after saving Leah Clearwater from a newborn in hiding. After the army was destroyed, their remains were burned. The last survivor from the army was a young newborn named Bree Tanner, who surrendered herself. The Volturi arrived immediately after the battle to interrogate and destroy Bree.
