Lightning Strikes

21

As promised, here is the ending. Again, it may be a bit rushed, and it's a bit shorter than I would've liked, sorry. Just too tired to revise. On the plus side, the new fic will be out soon! Once again, it'll be PJO, and Piper is one of the main characters. Now have fun! 

The new day dawned, and Aru found herself at her school with her sisters. Kara elected to stay outside, considering that Shiva's bow was a bit too big to even attempt to conceal.

Aru didn't know what she was expecting, but she sure wasn't thinking that it would be a normal school day. She didn't take notes, nor did she pay attention during her classes. At lunch, Mini started chastising her (as expected). At least something was going to plan.

"Whatever," Aru sighed. She walked out onto the basketball court...

Only to step on a quickly-opening crevice.

"Shit, what is that? Get Kara, quick!"

Eerie laughter came from an unknown source as hordes of asuras started making their way out of the crack. Teenagers ran here and there in fright as the asuras' numbers increased rapidly.

Aru felt a strange calm as everyone ran here and there around her. She raised the vel and looked at their leader — Tarakasura, if she wasn't wrong — right in the eyes. "Veeravel!" she roared. "Vetrivel!"

Aru charged at the opposing army, a storm in her eyes. She tried to summon a bolt of lightning to incinerate all of the poor asuras, but nothing happened — someone, probably Narakasura, had shut down all magic powers.

The asura in question walked into Aru's field of view as she looked around, shocked. "You don't even have the weapon needed to kill me," he laughed. "How will you make the Sudarshana active?"

Aru spat at him, and then took the head off an asura. She threw it at his feet as the army looked at her, horrified. "World domination? Good luck."

Aru turned into a whirlwind of blood, the red liquid flying everywhere she stepped. She could see nothing other than red as she killed her way to the three sons of Tarakasura: Tarakaksha, Kamalaksha, and Vidyunmali. She made quick work of Tarakaksha and quickly stabbed through him.

Only to leave him completely unaffected.

Tarakaksha roared with laughter as Aru stood still in confusion. At least until an arrow whizzed by her ear and into Tarakaksha's throat. The asura did not get up this time, instead falling to the ground, dead.

"We have to kill them with the weapon they died with the first time around!" Kara exclaimed.

Aru nodded and engaged Kamalaksha in combat. Another arrow flew by her and into Kamalaksha's eye. The asura fell down in pain as Kara shot him twice through the chest. Just to make sure he was dead, the elder daughter of the Sleeper placed her foot down on the asura's neck and crushed it down.

"Behind you!" Aru called, and Kara whipped around, dodging Vidyunmali's attack. She stabbed him through the stomach with an arrow and then shot one into his heart. The asura cried out as Kara shot him in the stomach and then once again in his neck, resulting in a pool of blood.

"That was surprisingly easy," Aru said, fighting her way to Tarakasura.

This time, Kara shot the asura in the back, and he turned around only to find the vel that had taken his life once at his throat.

"Goodbye, motherfucker."

Aru killed him quickly and then laughed. "Narakasura, where are you, asshole?"

"Right here," the asura laughed. "I see you killed all of those fools. Thank you for doing my job. Now it's your turn to go."

Aru flipped him over with a lightning strike, and then stabbed him in the chest.
