Everything was set, all were ready to give their gurudakshina . Gandhari and kunti were praying for their sons safety . Dhritarastra although distressed with the thought of sending his children for war but couldn't say anything due to others bheeshm was happy to see them working together .

Shakuni was in anger and stress because his plan of separating brothers is failed now they have to go together and fight together with drupad . He tried to manipulate dhritarastra but of no use because it was order of gurudrona .

Every one were ready with their weapons and horses they were waiting for their mothers to complete their aarthi and vijay tilak . Kunti was feeling anxious for sending her six children on mainly her first born who is going to face whole army single handily only she knew how much she want to do his vijay tilak also but couldn't she was trying to find karn but he was no where to be found

"mata whom you are searching for ?" bheem asked her "woh I was searching for angraj he is also going to war today right" kunti said "even we don't know mata may be he went near his mother to take blessings and even rajkumari vritika is also not found anywhere" yudhistir said

"they went to ganga ghat rajkumar they will come in few minutes"subhadra said standing beside kunti soon they saw horses coming entering the main entrance both karn and vritika got down from the horse and moved towards bheesm

"vijay bhava now get up both of you" he made them stand straight vritika hugged him "don't fear dear ,you have seen many things like this erase all of them once and for all and return victorious promise me there that you are not going to harm any innocent " "I promise " vritika tried to smile but her inner fear was not allowing her to

They both took blessings of dhritarstra and gandhari who blessed both of them wholeheartedly "putr putri you both are like my children I don't want any scratch on you both  remember this " gandhari said both of them nodded moved towards kunti to take her blessings kunti was having tears in her eyes blessed them , subhadra hugged both of them and asked them to return safe

pandavs were neutral they just didn't knew what to say but duryodhan  ashwattama and others squeezed karn in hug some where pandavs were feeling jealous seeing them next they didn't expect ashwattama to hug vritika even she was shocked by sudden gesture

"I know you don't trust someone easily but for me you will always be my sister whom I always wanted return safe" she just smiled and nodded in return they moved towards their respective gurus they blessed to come victorious suddenly bhagwan parashuram lifted his hand in air and vijaya bow appeared he gave it to karn and

"putr this my vijaya bow from today onwards you will be know as vijaydhari vijayi bhava putr" all persons rooted themselves seeing the divine bow karn accepted it gladly turned to see vritika who was having a proud feeling in her eyes seeing him .

vritika turned and reached arjun "rajkumar sometimes persons may not speak truth but his eyes never lie they are mirrors of our heart observe persons eyes when you are confused " saying so she went away arjun and others were confused but left it all of them started towards their journey .

PANCHAL

Kuru rajkumars were Camping at the borders of Panchal waiting for the orders of the teacher to attack but Arjun was engrossed In thoughts of what Vritika said and those five stones

all were practising for the upcoming war a message was sent to drupad stating him to be ready for war Duryodhana was a bit uneasy with the Pandavas but he shrugged it off because he knew that this has to be happen and there is no other way for him to get away from this and he was trying to calm his mind even he knew deep inside know that they might need Pandavas help because as per Vritika and Karn - Drupada  may plan a Vyuh And he and his brothers might not be able to break through it only Aswathama knew how to break to some new house but he was not allowed to participate in the war

the plan was set Duryodhana and Bheem would deal with foot soldiers and with the walls of vyuh from front and from bank yudhisthir Vikran and dushasan from back Nakul Sahadev attacking other persons on horse arjun was breaking the vyuh penetrating into it all rajkumars were having a good time in fighting the war and they were careful no to hurt anyone just they were knocking or binding them off .

Magadh
Karn and vritika had reached the outskirts of Magadh . Soon enough karn shot an arrow with a letter inviting them to fight with them

Magadh palace
"Maharaj there are two people who has invited you to fight with them and said that it is khastriya dharm to accept the challenge thrown" a minister said who got that letter

"two persons they must be fools till now no one could win against me they think two are enough to conquer whole magadh hahah" jarasandh laughed sarcastically

"But maharaj they are not ordinary persons one is student of Bhagwan Parashuram and other girl is student of Dev guru and asur guru" the same minister answered

"what a girl ?? Whom ever they might be they challenged me I will accept their challenge and if they over power senapathi susharma you know what you have to do" he said with a evil smile

"yes maharaj your will is my command" he said getting up from his seat and bowing down in front of him with a smirk on his face but sahadeva son of jarasandh was spectacularly viewing the whole situation

"pitashree don't do this don't accept their invitation this is for our own good" sahadeva warned him "are you afraid of those too who are ants before us"

"no pitashree I am afraid about the prophecy that once has been said and see now we have the same situation a girl who will be our kaal"

"we have erased that girl from our path Prince many years before ,now what is there in this don't be afraid we will crush them as ants under over feet " senapathi said

Jarasandh and others arrived to the place where karn and vritika were standing Vritika covered her face with a black cloth and standing aside karn was facing them with vijay bow in his hand

"so you are the one little ant you thought you can defeat me I will make you my slave and give your sacrifice too with the other kings I have captured I will give you the chance to select which type of fight you want to have with me I will take it as your last wish" he said laughing with all the others present there but karn was only carrying his usual smile no overconfidence on his face and vritika was smirking under the veil seeing them all but nevertheless a fear is still in her heart controlled her emotions and fears and bound to herself

"Maharaj jarasandh I want to have a malyudh with you what say"

"think again kid want to die before your death calls you hahaha" all were laughing seeing this but senapathi susharma's eyes were fixed on the veiled person who was standing there silently those eyes which were looking at him with pure vengeance filled in it

"so let it be we will have a malyudh" soon enough arena was set for malyudh and both the participants were ready to tackle each other

Panchal
Duryodhan knocked shikandini out and proceeded to go forward other were  dealing  with Arjun paved a way for them but when they reached in to the middle they saw a man sitting on the top of an elephant he immediately jumped down

"oh so you managed to break the chakravyuh that drona had trained you well I think so "

" accept the defeat and surrender yourself maharaj drupad" Arjun yelled " oh you think you can defeat me then let's see" he started duelling with him but some soldiers tried to attack Arjun from back but Duryodhan stopped them

"Arjun you deal with maharaj drupad I will deal with those who will try to come in your way" he said though Arjun was confused by his behaviour he concentrated on the battle clearly Arjun was overpowered drupad and broke his bow "surrender yourself maharaj"

"whom you will catch me or me or me" soon five magical Drupads appeared Arjun was confused he closed eyes and something caught his sight when he opened his eyes the stones which were fell on the ground given by Krishna he took them in his hand and observed clearly something clicked into his mind and words of vritika were ringing in his ears

He looked in the direction of drupad and his illusions he saw all other drupads were eyeing the middle one he understood and grabbed his bow and with nag pasha he bound drupad

"your move was nice but next time say your illusions to not look at you for your command" Arjun said with a smile on his face drupad face was read with humiliation Duryodhan and Bheem moved forward and grabbed drupad with them near drona

Magadh
The yudh between karn and jarasandh was going on sometimes one was overpowering sometimes the other but jarasandh was tired karn was not having a ounce of tiredness on his face but at last karn lifted him and threw on the ground with force jarasandh understood was going to loose so he signalled his senapathi to take in charge to start his plan

this was not gone away from notice of vritika she understood what they were going to do she raised her hand in the sky a crack in the sky appeared all were amazed seeing this soon a bow appeared in her hands which was done by Vishwakarma himself and was presented to her by her guru Brihaspati

(Ajagava another bow of Mahadev himself)

All present in arena were shocked to see ajagava in her hands which was mahadev's bow itself soon susharma has ordered his army to attack on karna and vritika hundreds of army were coming towards karn but vritika stood before him as a shield karn again resumed his yudh with jarasandh vritika aimed at those hundreds of persons with one arrow which multiples Itself and struck to many soldiers but with less injuries

she made sure they were not died but even were not able to fight many maharatis marched towards her with swords in their hands but she tied them with nagpash

sahadeva got down his chariot and started a duel with her but soon enough susharma also started to battle with her she was managing both of them with one hand flawlessly but susharma tried to attack from her back but she vanished in air immediately before his sword comes in contact with her body

all gasped seeing this . all were searching for her here and there soon a hand patted susharma's back when he saw at his back she was standing there her eyes were red with anger she placed a punch on his face

"Asur hai yeh bhago bhago yaha se" all screamed seeing her "am I looking that much scary" she asked karn turning back he rolled his eyes

"if you will pull up this stunts of course people will fear you giraffe" karn said placing punch on jarasandh's face which made him fall down . Now susharma understood that dealing with her is not easy so he asked asurs for help soon enough 10 asurs appeared in front of moved in circles around her but she was standing there with her sword on her shoulder she was not in even trying to defend herself but instead she opened her veil and looked at them some bowed in front of her and some were shivering with fear some were standing with arrogance

"Rajkumari app we didn't know that we had to challenge you forgive us for our act please show us mercy" some asurs who were kneeling down has answered her

"who doesn't have death wish go back and others who dared to go against gurupita's order can fight against me" she said soon enough half of the members vanished away but three were remaining there itself

So you want to die in my hands she asked "we know guru jyestha that you have promised Gurudev that you will not fight against us asurs"

"oh for your kind information I am here on Gurupita's order he gave me permission to slay those who will go against his will still you want to fight with me" she asked them with a smirk but their male ego was not allowing them to back off they marched towards they lasted long battling her she was taking care not to harm them much at last they accepted their defeat and bowed in front of her she was talking to them suddenly a dragger pierced her shoulder she yelped at once but the person who stabbed dragger on her shoulder was beyond shocked to see the mark on her back neck which was more visible to him due to her tied hair

"You you are alive but but I killed you with my own hands then how can this happen" he trembled seeing her she immediately turned back removed the dragger from her shoulder and threw it away kicked in his gut he recovered from the shock and attacked her

she made him unarmed he started to run away from there she glanced at karn who has successfully overpowering jarasandh she took an arrow from her quiver and broke into two halves and threw in two different directions he understood that one what she was trying to say and soon teared him into two parts and flung into two different directions he was totally bathed with blood

Karn took his bow and started to fight the persons who haven't yet surrendered and vritika was chasing susharma with sword she threw a surujin (two stones tied by a rope) which entangled with his legs and he fell down he kneeled in front of her and begged her to show mercy but she was not in a mood all her memories were flooding in her brain when she asked him to show mercy when she pleaded him to leave her but no he was adamant she was looking like kali in the battle field for him she placed her sword on his neck

"remember those days when I have asked you to show mercy remember those times when you have enslaved me remember those moments when you have tortured me and now you are asking to show you mercy hah now ready to embrace your death 12 saal ki bacchi ko jise tum marna chate teh who aj tumhare kaal bankar tumhare samne kadhi hai dekh" in no time she slashed his head mercilessly blood was all over and his head was laying on ground

Panchal
Duryodhan and Bheem threw drupad on drona's legs "look drupad you have insulted me and I have promised you that I will take my vengeance One or the other day now see you are not my feet" drona said lifting him up

"but still i consider you as my friend so I will let you go but before that I am going to take other half of Panchal that means northern Panchal and you have to crown my son as king of it and you can rule kampilya on your own" drona said drupad hung his head low and vowed to kill him soon enough he crowned Ashwatthama as the king of northern Panchal and moved away from there in shame

"Today I am proud of all my 106  students and especially you arjun today you have proved why I have coined you as my best student" drona exclaimed

"no Gurudev if not my brothers all 105 brothers I wouldn't have been able to capture maharaj drupad and even with help of Rajkumari vritika"

"what yadavkumari how did she helped you" he was not having a pull towards vritika as she was a bit rebellious and doesn't give respect to him mostly what he has seen they may not have much encounters but in small meetings he understood that she had a disliking towards him but she never showed it directly

"actually she said something when she was departing from Hastinapur from which I was able to break his illusions and you have to appreciate bhrata Duryodhan also as he has always looked behind my back and protected my back in war field today" Arjun said with a stern look on his face

Duryodhan's mouth hung low for the first time arjun was praising him he pinched himself to know is it true or not everyone present there were astonished seeing the sight "then it's great now you all have to head back to Hastinapur putro" drona said

Magadh
Karn slayed  many maharathis with single hand and was going to behead sahadeva but vritika stopped him from doing so

"enough karn leave him he is not responsible for his father's deeds more over he tried to change him don't kill him" she said turning towards sahadeva "kakashree" sahadeva found it familiar it made him remember the person who has first time called him Kaka shree

"vritika is that you" she just gave him a nod without emotions on her face he embraced her and sobbed looking at his daughter figure

"how are you Putri ? I am sorry for all that what they both have done to you I couldn't forgive myself for what happened to you I tried putri but"

"no kakashree you have done what was in your hands I am alive today means one of the reasons was you too now let's forget that" she said taking a deep breath

Karn was confused listening their talks but shrugged it off because he knew one or the other day it has to come out "putri now magadh is all yours the prophecy has been true now you both has to ascend the throne"

"no kakashree I can't ascend the throne Radhey will become the new king of Magadh we have to even release the kings who are captured"

"yes putri but you both can't come to royal palace now only tomorrow new king's announcement will be you have to stay in tent today as we have to look after the preparations and your mami's would be delighted to see you"

"I am eager to meet them too kakashree" "but I want to know the whole intro of you Parashuram shishya as you are going to be our new king"

"I am Parashuram shishya I am son of adhirath and radha citizens of Hastinapur and previous king of anga and a friend of your daughter vritika and I am a sutputra"

"It's my pleasure to meet you putr you are like my son as you are friend of my daughter and don't think low of yourself saying that you are a sut you have to be proud being what you are putr be ready for tomorrow to be claimed as samrat of aryavart" both of them were in utter confusion samrat how can this be happen

"how kakashree to be a samrat more than 100 kings should accept him as their higher king"

"Putri you are forgetting that already 86 kings are under prison they will surely accept karn as their samrat and about other 14 kingdom in fear they will surely do so , so be ready to next samrat karn" karn looked both of them in disbelief he never wanted to be king but now they are planning to make him samrat seriously 😐

"vriti is this necessary I mean me and Samrat"

"Radhey you are born to be king and I trust you that you will be a great king and we will be on your side right I will never leave your side this is a promise"
Vritika said him with a smile

"okay then I will say servants to arrange things for your stay to this night and send invitations to all kingdoms to attend your coronation" he left from there but karn was struck with a word "samrat"
