Shatrughna falls

It was time for the horse to be brought back. Shatrughna was asked to do the needful. Shatrughna was told that the horse had been taken captive. He saw the two boys playing with the horse and asked who they were and why they had captured the horse.
Lava and Kusha said We know you are strong and we also want you to take the horse away. Do the needful but you will have to fight for that.
Shatrughna tried but was unable to defeat the boys. He then asked his army to attack.
Kusha said to Lava, You wait while I deal with the army.
Kusha released an arow. Except Shatrughna all fell. River of blood began flowing.
Kusha said O Shatrughna, where is your army now. I am the younger of the two brothers. Come fight me now.
Lava said to Kusha - You killed the army now let me deal with Shatrughna.
Kusha asked Lava to move back. Shatrughna fired arrows which were easily combated by Kusha.
Shatrughna's quiver was empty. He said I am amazed at your skill. Let this end now. Give me the horse and go home.
Kusha smiled and released an arrow. The arrow struck Shatrughna and he fell.
The brothers went to their mother and said Kings had come to the ashrama. We played with them and are back.

Sita unaware bathed her sons and fed them.

Seven people were alive from the battle. They rushed to Ayodhya to inform about the fall of Shatrughna.
