Aru Shah and The City of Gold ✔️

Say What Now? (Aiden P.O.V)

"Well then, hurry up love boy if you want to celebrate Holi with you crush." said Rudy. I shot him a death eye. 

"Here." We went down the winding path,  all the way to the wall that I had to go right through. 

"OK, what's next Wifey?"asked Mini.

"We go straight through." They stared at me like I was physco. 

"OK, maybe I should just smash through." Brynne took out GoGo and before she could summon a powerful tornado, I put my hand through the wall. Yeah, I said that right, right through the wall. 

"Woah!" exclaimed Brynne, holding her mace mid-air. 

We all walked through the wall. And if this couldn't get any worser, the person sitting on the throne was the Sleeper.

"WHERE'S ARU!" yelled Mini, holding Dee Dee close to her. 

"You would like to see? Of course." Four other screens unfolded from the ceiling next to his TV screen. It was a live footage of Aru in a chamber of glass, unconcious. 

The girls gasped, including Rudy. 

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" I yelled at him. 

"Let's see, I killed her sister, and stuck her in that chamber."

"Her sister?" asked Nikita, raising an eyebrow. 

At that moment, 5 other kids came out, one of them holding the other four together. 

"Let me introduce you to my children. Camryn, Tikita and Jameela. And of course, the good one, Kara. And the friend of their's, Jaden."

Why did all those names rhyme with our names? I mean, besides Kara. 

"Now you have to choices. Hand over the clairvoyant or die." Another person then burst into the room.

"Locker AB_412 is going under code 435" he said. 

"Say what now?" 

"COMBUSTION OVERLOAD!" smoke filled the room. We all looked back at the screen. The door of the chamber had flung open, and standing in the doorway was a raging Aru. 

---

She had lighting in her eyes. She was floating off the floor. 

And looked like a godess. 

I couldn't resist but take a photo of her. 

She left the screen, and before I knew it, she was standing in the same room as me.

"Aru." I heard Mini whisper. The lighting dissapeared from her eyes. 

"No one, and by that, I mean no one threatens my sisters, and gets away with it." She thrust her hands at the Sleeper, and he was sent back by a shock of lightining. Kara pulled out her scimitars. 

"Oh, and Kara, no one touches my other sisters." She sent her hand out, and in a flash, Vajra was in its 6 foot form. It tranformed into a sword that crackled with energy. With one contact with Aru's sword, Kara's scimitars and her flung back. The Sleeper, who was just waking up, crashed back down from the force of Kara's hit. 

She lifted the other kids up and rid them of their chains. Then she landed them softly on the ground.

"Are you OK?" she asked in a soft tone. 

"You killed my sister, why would I be OK?"  said the Camryn girl. 

"W-what? No, th-" she was cut off by Tikita.

"WE TRUSTED YOU ARU! YOU KILLED HER!" Sheela punched her in the stomach but she didn't even flinch. Or looked like she was in pain. Why was this like a complete Superman moment? 

"For the last time, I'm telling you it wasn't me." she said sighing.

"Then why would the Sleeper tell us that?" asked the Jaden boy. 

"You guys are dumber than I thought." She knocked them down and touched each of their heads once. Each time she did, a wispy piece of air, like a tornado, came out and Aru took and stuffed it in her pocket. 

More rakshakas and demons flooded the room. We took out our weapons, but before we could make contact with one of the monsters, we were transferred into bubble. 

"W-what?" said Mini frantically. Aru's voice echoed in our bubble. 

"I'm sending you away, for now, its too dangerous for you to be here." 

"Aru no, I can't lose you again." cried Mini. 

"Don't worry. See you at the first place that pops up in my mind. And don't come back for me. Wait there, I will see you soon. I have to .. pick up a friend first." 

"Aru I-" I started.

"No Aiden, I have nothing to do with that Jaden boy, in case you were wondering." I knew from her tone that she was smirking. 

That was actually what I was going to ask. Phew! 

"See you on Holi guys. Lighting girl out!" and her voice left the bubble. 

The scene around us changed and the bubble popped into inivisble glitter. 

It was a place with tall aisles, doorways, lights, and Aru's favorite place in the world.
