Aadhya Strength Of Pandavas
Chapter 12: THE CONTEST

A DAY BEFORE THE CONTEST

SHAKUNI'S POV

It's time of my priye bhanja's return and it's time to start the plan of destroying hastinapur, I went to hastinapur to start my plan by keeping a contest between the kuru's and the pandavas instead of just showing their skills and as always dhritarasht fell for my tricks and announced that instead of just showing everyone's skills they will have a contest with each other.

Later that night I asked purochan to set a trap that will fall at only one hit of a arrow and planned to end pandu putra arjun's story there it self as he is the one of the two who can beat duryodhan and give answers to the tricks I use and about our second problem aadhya, she is a girl we can always marry her off and doing that as soon as possible will be best but let's take one step at a time I said that with my signature wicked smile.

ASWATHAMA'S POV

I took the promise from pitashree that he will be quite about whatever is done tomorrow but he said "whatever you do you can't defeat my favorite shishya's", and I replied "we will see about that after what happens tomorrow pitashree" and he went away and I continued doing my work so I can help my mitra achieve his dreams.

KUNTI'S POV

I'm so excited i'm finally going to see all my children again, how much would they have grown?, will they still be childish how they were when they went away? or will they be mature now?, oh my how can I forget I have to make ladoos because i'm sure my vrikodar and my little warrior will still love them!, I started making ladoos with pouring all my twelve years love remembering all their childhood incidents making me smile. I just hope gandhar raj doesn't do anything now.

GANDHARI'S POV

I was holding my children's clothes thinking now how big they have become and was wondering if I would still be able to know who walked and know their feelings just by their walk. Arya and bharatashree walked in and bharatashree said "we should take steps to defeat pandavas before they take steps" hearing that I said "bharatashree we shouldn't turn this into politics and welcome our children with happiness' and he replied "it's not us and it's tatshree's and vidur's trick and I'm just trying save your children" they started discussing more about tomorrow's contest.

THE DAY

NO ONE'S POV

Everyone welcomed their king dritarasht by cheering his name and bhishma welcome everyone and introduced drona and drona explained why they all were there today and the basic rules after drona finished bhishma added "this is just to show their skills in a different way so no blood shall be shed from their opponents or the one doing so shall be disqualified" saying this he sat down indicating to start the contest. Drona blew the shankh declaring the contest had started and ashwathama aimed and shot the arrow on the wheel of names and the first name was....

Dushasan

Ashwathama shouted that "the first prince to be coming was the kuru prince DUSHASAN" and dushasaan took his grand entry and gave his respects to his parents and stood besides his mama shakuni who was giving some tips to him so he can defeat his opponent.

Ashwathama shot the arrow and the next name it hit was...

Aadhya

Ashwathama shouted "the one prince dushasan will have a face off with!!! the pandu putri AADHYA", causing everyone to be shocked that even she is taking part in this and made dushasan angry how he has to fight her!!!

AADHYA'S POV

My name is taken well here goes nothing!!!

I entered showing some of my fighting skills and did a pranam to gurudev and disappeared from there causing a surprise at what just happened and i'm sure they are looking here and there but my focus is only one person, my mata and yup the one who entered was the illusion created by me. I kept my sword aside and took my blessings from mata and her face said it all!!!! that I didn't make her disappointed by her discussion and then I heard my gurudev say "searching for her?", look where maharani's are sitting he said with in a proud tone, causing me to turn and wave my hand at everyone and then I gave a wink to mata and said "wish your putri luck" and jumped down causing everyone to cheer my name, now time to face that so called "tail".

Landing down I smirked at him, and after gurudev said "start" he came to me running attacking first and attacked me from the right making me dodge him and push his sword back and attack him aiming for the chest but he dodged it, we kept clashing our swords then I saw his expression change which made me sure he had some dirty tricks coming up as he and I both knew I could defeat him anytime!.

What he said was unexpected though "oh you sure fight well for a girl who came as a unasked gift and whose blood are you again?", I laughed at him saying "so this is what mama shakuni told you to use?, grow up boy use something else these things won't make me angry cause I know why you are saying that and I don't have to prove anyone of who i'm or if i'm unasked for because I know my mata well and I would never doubt her love for any of her children" I said with confidence and added "plus you needing such cheap tricks to fight me proves who is greater "bharata dushasan", so now stop being a coward using cheap trick because you are making me feel sleepy and fight me with your skills" making him angry and he started fighting with anger and aggression leaving many open spots, I dodged his every attack and hit his hand causing him to drop his sword kicked him down without giving him any time to react and held my sword against his neck and said "give up" but he counter attacked me by kicking my legs and I fell down he rolled over and picked his sword up and was about to hit me when I was lying but I turn around and got up as fast as I could, angry about not overpowering me he started attacking me with killing intentions making me fight him in real too and I tried my best not to hurt him in such way that blood would be shed.

We fought for more few minutes and dushasan's anger kept increasing and he made a mistake he shouldn't have made he made a small cut on my right arm making him disqualified but he walked proud like this small scratch would make me faint and gurudev announced me the winner, I could hear my name being shouted in happiness after gurudev announced me as a winner I told them I won't fight the next opponent and will fight later if needed so I was not out nor disqualified and still could enter, then I went to touch gurudev's feet and he asked "why would you not fight further aadhya?" to which I replied "you know who's going to win this so why should I take his chance of winning plus my all bharatashree's are yet to come and it won't be any fun if this contest will end so soon will it?", I said with a smile and he patted my shoulder and said "I'm proud of you, you did well" I smiled at what gurudev said and took my leave and gave a smile to my mata assuring her i'm okay and I sat on my given seat.

Next entered "bharata" duryodhan, that was okay and all but what's with all this screaming, I closed my eyes being bored but when ashwathama announced that bharata nakul was coming I opened my eyes to see his entry and as always my most handsome brother made a extraordinary entry by coming on a eagle and landed perfectly making people cheer his name loudly and he started attacking "bharata" duryodhan and after sometime bharat nakul was defeated he went to mata and took her blessings and came and sat besides me and I asked "so how was it making this grand entry but losing bharata nakul", making a anger face he hit my head lightly and said "I was just following bharata bheem's order to not tire him out or else bharata bheem would tire me out till I can't walk a step" making me laugh more and he asked are you okay aadhya~~?~" to which I replied "oh come do you really wanna tire yourself, if not please don't ask me such questions" hearing this he laughed at me this time because he knows how I don't like people thinking I can't handle stuff like this and we started to watch bharata sahadev's entry and his fight and he lost as well, he went towards mata and took his blessings and sat besides us and bharata nakul asked "so what's the reason behind your smile?", to which bharta sahadev said "it's the new name given to us by ashwathama, he called us pandu putra, it gives a feeling that pitashree is still with us", hearing him say that me and bharata nakul smiled at him and said "it sure does".

Next came bharata yudhishthir and they started fighting, but bharata lost due to the cheap tricks they used again, I sighed at how they are using those cheap tricks to make us lose and are not trusting their own strength. Bharata yudhishthir went to take mata's blessings and came towards us and bharata nakul told him "if you would stay for few more minutes i'm sure you would have won", to which jesth replied "but if I stayed any longer I would have defeated myself", we all took our seats. I told them now bharata bheem is gonna enter and shake everyone with his grand entrance making them chuckle and that turned out to be the truth.

Bharata bheem entered and hit his gada to the ground making a shock wave towards "bharata " duryodhan and making the whole area shake cause of the impact of the shock wave. Bharata bheem fought him gracefully, but soon they started fighting with anger which even caused our people to be a bit scared and in the end bharata bheem lost because he hit duryodhan's head causing it to bleed and was disqualified, and gurudev asked him the reason for doing so he replied "I was just giving him the taste of my power and telling him that in future it will be worse then this and our arjun deserves the place of winner in today's contest." saying this he went towards mata and took his blessings and came towards us and bharata yudhishthir said "it's okay bheem there can be only one winner in the contest", to which bharata bheem replied "I'm not sad about that, coming here I just had an idea about tearing off duryodhan's head because the punishment would be the same I would just be disqualified" and bharata nakul teased bharata bheem saying "your hands always work before your brain bharata bheem" and we laughed all laughed and bharata bheem headlocked bharata nakul. We were waiting for bharata arjun to come and I said "now bharata arjun should come already I'm so hungry and bharata bheem I'm sure mata has made us ladoos", causing him to gulp his saliva and we both started daydreaming about mata's hand made food.

Bharata arjun entered only to be crushed by the stones but he made a shield and came out of it and shooted arrows towards our elders and to that nakul commented "our bharata arjun became the winner ever before the fight started", to which I said "yeah at least he didn't enter with empty promises like you bharata nakul" and hid behind bharata bheem showing him my tongue and making him pout and others laughed.

Bharata arjun won the match in few minutes it self and gurudev being proud about him started saying how he is the world's best archer and no one is above him and then he turned to bharata arjun and told him to release duryodhan from the ice trap and he nodded aiming the bow towards duryodhan but another arrow came from above and melted the ice trap causing us to look up and we saw!!!!....☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
