The Pandavas were pacing back and forth in the courtroom, internally cursing themselves for the heinous sin they committed today. And as they saw Krishna coming with Sagarika, the Pandavas fell on her feet crying and apologizing.
"Forgive us Sagarika, forgive us." The sobbed.
"What has happened has happened. No use to cry over it. I have forgiven everyone." Sagarika said.
"Everyone ?" Arjun asked.
"Yes. My heart no longer craves revenge, I want justice for myself and for the people of Aryavart." Sagarika said.
"And we take an oath that you shall get it." Bheem said.
"Then listen to my oath. Until and unless my hair isn't washed Dushashan's blood, I won't tie it." Sagarika said.
"We accept it." Sehdev said.
"Yes, it will remind us of the heinous conspiracy that we were subjected to." Nakul said.

A lot of people have gathered outside the Indraprasth palace to see the departure of the Pandavas. Krishna was telling them to prepare for upcoming inevitable battle.
"Arjun, like Mata Durga's Trishul, like Brahmadev's Brahmasheer, in the same manner Mahadev has Pashupatastra. During battle, if you ever face a situation when you have to confront a power which is beyond my competency then you will need Pashupatastra. Thus Parth, go to Kailash practice austerity to Mahadev and acquire the weapon from him." Krishna said to Arjun
"Bhrata Bheem, the science of physical strength, no one knows that better than Pavanputra Hanuman. Therefore you go to Gandhmadan mountain and near the Hanumanth cave perform penance to Lord Hanuman. Acquire strength from him." Krishna said to Bheem.
"Nakul and Sehdev both of you have to acquire the benevolence of the Ashwin kumaras. So that when time comes you're able to protect your army." Krishna said to the twins.
"Jyesht, you very well know that righteousness is the basis of victory. And the basis of dharm is serving the ascetics, hence you and Sagarika for 12 years will serve the ascetics and gather virtue." Krishna said.
"Your wish is our command." Arjun said and then looked at Subhadra and Abhimanyu sadly.
"Parth don't worry about Subhadra and Abhimanyu, I promise to train your child myself and make him the bravest warrior ever." Krishna said.
"I will be." Abhimanyu said. Sagarika smiled and kissed his forehead.
"I am sure that you will be the heir to Gandivdhari Arjun's Valor." Sagarika said.
Suddenly they heard the sound of rath and saw Duryodhan and his companions arrogantly entering Hastinapoor.
They smirked and looked down upon them in pity. But Sagarika instead of lowering their gaze in shame they glared at them right in the eye.
Duryodhan and Dushashan felt weird churn in their stomach looking Sagarika's eyes, who were raging like the ocean in a terrible storm.
"We should be on our way." Sagarika said. Everyone bid their good byes and left.

A/N
I WAS THINKING THAT IF ABHIMANYU DIDN'T DIE IN KURUKSHETRA THEN HE WOULD'VE SURPASSED ARJUN ONE DAY.
YOU ONLY THINK, THE AGE WHERE ARJUN WAS IN GURUKUL ABHIMANYU WAS STRAIGHT UP FIGHTING THE BIGGEST WAR WITH THE DEADLIEST WARRIORS AND MANAGED TO DEFEAT THEM ALSO.
LIKE EVEN IN THE CHAKRAVYUH, FOR MOST OF THE TIME ABHINANYU DOMINATED ALL THE KURU MAHARATHIS WITH HIS SPLENDID VALOR.
DRON, KRIPA, KARN, ASHWATHAMA, KRITVARMA, DURYODHAN, DUSHASHAN AND ALL THE OTHER GREAT WARRIORS WERE WOUNDED AND AFFLICTED BY HIS ARROWS.
IF THE WARRIOR PRINCE OF OUR HEARTS COULD'VE LIVED LONGER THEN HE WOULD'VE BECOME A BETTER WARRIOR THAN ARJUN IN THE FUTURE.
