Percy Jackson and the Incarnate-5: The Mahayudha

CHAPTER 15 POV: Percy Jackson

We reached Indrajith right in time. He had defeated Ashwatthama who had to lick his wounds. How he could defeat Ashwatthama, was beyond me. Maybe he was indeed powerful.

Indrajith let out the arrow which would have been Fatal to Ashwatthama when a knife intercepted the arrow out of nowhere. It was Justin. Ashwatthama took the chance and went out of the line of fire.

"YOU TRAITOR!!!", Indrajith bellowed and Justin flinched for a minute.

"What do you expect if you held my mom captive?", Justin shouted back.

"OH! You shall pay for this insolence.", Indrajith bellowed and knocked two arrows. Justin shielded himself with the arrows and threw two more knives which plunged into Indrajith's thighs. He roared in pain!

"This is for my mother!!", Justin bellowed.

"THEN SEE YOUR MOTHER DIE IN FRONT OF YOU!!", Indrajith bellowed and pulled the string. He was chanting some hymn and I saw Hari visibly stiffen. The divine arrow appeared on his bow and Hari gasped.

"INDRAJITH!!", Hari said in anger and disbelief.

"OH! You Hariharan Sivakumar!! Let me deal with this traitor first!!!", Indrajith said.

"JUSTIN!! GO TO YOUR MOTHER NOW!!!!!!! TAKE HER NEAR THE WATER AND KEEP A LAYER OF COOL WATER AROUND HER!! Go!!!", Hari said and Justin rushed back to camp. Hari looked at Indrajith with fury in his eyes, "Indrajith!! Stop this!!! This is totally unacceptable. You just fought the person who had done this the first time and had to face its consequences!!!", Hari shouted.

"He deserves it!!", Indrajith bellowed and left the arrow. It was then I realized what it was. The Brahmaastra!!

Before I could do anything Hari conjured his Sudarshan Chakra. He looked absolutely pissed. I meant it. Absolutely pissed to the core. The chakra went and intercepted the Brahmaastra just in time. But it started to emit a lot of heat. Unbearable heat. Justin's mother felt the brunt of it, and she had to come to the open to get some air. Justin used water to cool her down. But the water was turning to steam quickly and Justin was getting tired. I had to help. I prayed to dad and went to help him when I heard Hari scream.

"CHAOS!!!!", Hari screamed with absolute authority. "CHAOS!!!!", Hari bellowed again and Chaos materialized in front of him looking slightly offended.

"What is the matter, Hariharan?", he asked in an annoyed tone.

"I call the Brahma in you!! Come here Brahma!!! Come now!!!!", Hari said in an ominous tone. Chaos's features started to change. From the black swirling clothes and a staff, came Brahma, with four heads, four hands seated on a lotus; calm and composed.

"You called me, Prabhu?", he asked.

"What did I tell you about the Brahmaastra!!! It is the second time it is happening. Call back the weapon now!!", he shrieked. Brahma looked taken aback before he saw the scene. I was helping Justin and Dad cool down Amanda while she just leaned on a pole, clutching her belly. The arrow tried to attack Amanda, but the Chakra prevented every advance. But on friction, it emitted unbearable heat. Nelson and Mom were using hand fans to cool her. But the heat was getting unbearable. I saw Brahmadev widen his eyes in fear and shock before he called back his weapon. Indrajith looked angry; but in front of the Creator of the universe and the preserver in Avatar form slowly losing his cool, the aura was enough for the whole battle to pause. All held their breath on what was happening.

"I am sorry Prabhu. I didn't expect Indrajith to commit this crime.", Brahma said and looked angrily at Indrajith who started to cower in fear.

"Indrajith! I curse you! I curse you that you shall be born a hundred and eight times, live and experience the heartache of losing an infant child!! May you mate with your wife and conceive a child for infinite time. But until the hundred and eight lives are over, you shall always lose your child as an infant.!!!" Brahmadev cursed and flashed off. Hari also called back the Sudarshan Chakra and it disappeared.
