Soldier 2: Why wont he be skillful, you no sabi him father ni, his father too na baaaad soldier, He never loses any war he leads. It's like father like Son (They all laugh)

Soldier 3: (With a sad tone) Guys, I am scared about this war we are going for, I know it's our work to fight regardless of how deadly a war is, but I just got married and my wife is pregnant plus I am the only son of my parent and you all know whoever goes to war with Battnam never comes back alive.

Soldier 2: (replies S3 - eyeing him) I am sure you were not thinking about all these you just mentioned when you enrolled into the army abi? Just keep quiet and let us hear word jare, na only you go first get married, mtchew.

Son: (Faces Soldier 3, looks at him straight in the eye and smiles) I promise you, you will not die, just trust me to take the lead, ok?

(Soldier 3 nods and gives him a warm hug. Son starts a conversation and talks to them about himself and his father to relieve S3 from negative thoughts and make him feel better).

SCENE 3

(There comes the war between Battnam and Doveland, at the much tensed war front, all seems under control under the lead of the Son as no soldier was hurt. Their strategies was on point and  great.  The son also warns all soldiers not to leave their territory and they agree).

(S3, however, becomes scared at a point and runs to hide beside a tree. In the course of running, he got shot on the leg and falls flat.)

S3: (cries out) Help!!! I have been shot by the enemy!!! (sobs)

Son: (Runs to where S3 was) I thought I gave an instruction of not leaving where everyone else is?

S3: Yes, I became too scared. Thats why. (In the midst of tears) I am sorry.

Son: I remember I promised you wont die; I will fulfill my promise (he carries S3 to keep him safe in a place, as he turns to walk; he got a bullet from the enemy and died instantly. 

Enemies: (Shouting for Joy) we have killed their leader, we have won the battle!!! Let's go report to our master (they walk out, shouting Victory!)

(The Father is notified and grieves deeply for his only son)
