The kaunteya's along with Draupadi, Kunti, Bhishma and Vidur reached the barren land of Khandavprastha. Without the help of Krishna, they were a bunch of imbeciles.
Hence, Arjun with the use of his Agni Astra burned the forest which created a havoc for innocent lives stuck in it. All the pashu pakshi started to call for Mahadev while the nature started to call of Mata Ira.
That's when the animals and birds vanished with the courtesy of Pashupatinath and there came a furious Mata Ira.
[Author's note:-
Mata Ira was one of the 13 wife's of Maharishi Kashyap,
The word 'Ira' means Earth.
She is known as the mother of Plants, Creepers and Tree's, in short the mother of vegetarian.
So you can think of are as the Mother of Prakriti.]She looked furious which scared the life out of the royals in front of her.
Ira- Arjun! How dare you burn the forest! I Ira curse you to lose the knowledge of your mahavinashak Divya Astra's! You can't regain those powerful weapons even with Tapasya! None of the gods or goddesses will give you their weapons and if they do, they will lose the knowledge of that Astra! I curse this land to turn barren as you have no respect for the natural resources!
Saying that Devi Ira went back leaving behind a shocked royals. The anger and sadness was short lived as Indra and Agnidev Decided to bless them.
Agnidev gave Arjun the Gandiv while Indra sent lord Vishwakarma to make a beautiful kingdom. When the kingdom was made it was named Indraprastha.
While all this was happening, there was someone who was spectating it all. That person was none other then the king of Sapt nagari.
7 days went by and that's when Ridham decided to attack on the kingdom of Indraprastha.
He alone went to the kingdom of Indraprastha with his face covered and a flag of Sapt nagari. Seeing that all looked at the well built body and the divine energy that was surrounding the warrior.
In the royal room, the people were informed of the same and that's when Bhishma, Vidur, Yudhishthir, Bheem and Arjun came there and they had also summoned the kingdoms of Kampilya and Kuntibhoj.
Drupad came there with his 2 akshauhini Sena, Satyajit and Dhrishtadyum. It was because he wanted to be on good terms with Bhishma who grew up with the late Sanvika.
While Purujit and Kuntibhoja came there as Kunti had the support of Dwarka or so they thought. They had also summoned their 4 akshauhini Sena.
The Sena of Indraprastha was 4 akshauhini sena as well. It was built by Bhishma who learnt that from his bua. But alas he couldn't create a Sena as good as she did.
Therefore, there were told of 10 akshauhini Sena that was ready to fight against the great king of Sapt nagari.
They were a total of 10 maharathi's and all lead 1 akshauhini Sena. The shanknaad was done and they started their attack.
Ridham was killing the Sena and fighting the maharathi's side by side. The fight was intense and boom, the first lamp was extinguished. Kuntibhoja the cousin of Shurasena was the first maharathi to fall. Not long after with the use of his Agni Astra, Ridham burned Drupad alive.
As the fight went on along with the 10 akshauhini sena on Kuntibhoj, Kampilya and Purujit, Satyajit and Dhrishtadyum had been slayed by the king of sapt nagari.
While the Kaunteya's, Bhishma and Vidhur were gravely injured. If not for Yudhishthir falling at the feel of Ridham, Then Arjun would have been slayed as well.
It was at that time that they had to leave the kingdom as they had lost. Soon they Kaunteya's on the behest of Kunti decided to go back to Hastinapur.
Ridham then left the kingdoms without anything. That's when Ashwatthama took over the other half of Panchal, Yadavaan took over Kuntibhoj and renamed it as Kama rastra while Indraprastha was taken over by Takshak.
