Plot
It was finally between Arjuna and Karna. They began by shooting arrows at each other. Arjuna told Karna that he could not fire at a disabled warrior since it would be unfair. However, Karna did not care about honor at that point. Then, Karna's chariot wheel sank into the ground. Karna pleaded to Arjuna to pause while he was at the moment helpless. Krishna chimed in and said that it was Karna who did not pause in the first place, even before the battle with Arjuna started. Arjuna filled with rage, he killed Karna.
Story Idea
I think an interesting story idea of this would be to retell the story in third person with more detail. More importantly, I think the story should come full circle and tie the knot between how the word "karma" came to a legend from the warrior Karna. Because of Karna's actions and attitude, he became the example of karma. Karma is the meaning of what comes around, goes around.
