  2. The Pandavas go into war against the Kauravas including Drona. 
  3. Drona is killed by manipulation. He was tricked into thinking his son is dead.
  4. Duryodhana goes into a one-on-one fight with Bhima. Bhima wins.
  5. The Pandavas win the war.
  6. Yudhishthira becomes King of Hastinapura.
  7. In the end, the Pandavas and Duryodhana make peace in heaven.
