John asking,"How did he get involved in the war?" He ask full of curiosity
Yanto thinking for a moment ,"He is a talented child...after that incident he was determined to become stronger to protect everyone" he said in smile, "He is very good at aiming and self-defense and even tactics because he keeps pushing himself....That is his ambition, But...I didn't expect him to keep forcing himself to join at the age of 12" he said his expression is quite thoughtful...
"Join a war at 12 years old?? How do you...allow him?" He ask in disbelief
"Welp...He was sneaky hidung inside supplies section and eventually got carried away when he went to the battlefield...He was very worried about us and tried to give us support even though that was crazy" Yanto said
"Right on war.....

Papua New Guinea
Border forest, 02 May 2006
11.03 AM
"Wild jungle war"_
Flight in the sky where the soldiers are ready for war
"Okay fellas, dont die here but dont underestimate them...Even though they are barbarians, they are still dangerous" Lieutenant Karram said
The plane door is open, "here is the war! We must protect the border areas from these pests!" Shout Karram prepare to skydiving, "drop the supplies!" Karram shout while some soldiers push their supplies down
"Go!" Karram shouted and then jumped into the sky followed by the other team, They jumped and immediately opened their parachutes.
Some teams are separated into several places, After landing they checked around, "clear!" One of them report. "Alright fellas, Where do the supplies land?" Ask Karram check the radar "It's right ahead" he said pointing forward and they started moving slowly
They walked and found one person stuck in a tree while landing. "Ah please help me here, im stuck" he said trying to untie the parachute rope
One of the soldiers tried to approach but a sudden attack hit the stuck soldier. "Fire!" Karram shout start taking an aim and shoot
Yanto took cover behind a tree and approached Karram, "They protect the supplies" he said while point to supply behind the enemy
The shooting continues until the enemy is finished off, "Clear!" One of them said. Yanto started to approach the supplies "almost stolen huh" he said while start open the supplies
They were all shocked when they opened the big box and there was Raden in his military uniform holding his AWP "u-uh...hello?" He said kinda hesitant
Yanto, who saw that, immediately massaged his forehead because he didn't know how to respond "how the...how did you get there!?" He ask in disbelief and curious
"Im...i sneak here...i wanted to help" Raden said trying to convince. Yanto stared at it in disbelief and thought this could be a problem.
"Hahaha! What a crazy kid are you huh?" Karram said laughing hard, "you got your ammo kid?" He ask just to make sure and Raden show on his waist there are some ammo and a handgun, Karram was quite surprised that Raden was fully prepared and thought he was really too mature to know what was needed.
Yanto was getting dizzy and sat on a rock not knowing what to do now then looked at Raden "i told you this is dangerous, you still a 12 year old!" He said bit annoyed in sigh "what should we do now...?" He ask
Karram just pat his shoulder ," just let him try then?" He said. "Let him try??? Kill them?? In this deadly war in the forest with many animals like snake?" Yanto said don't believe what Karram suggested
"I did kill some terrorist remember? He want to protect afterall, i know he's used to it, trust me your son is something" he said trying to convince and add "We also have no other choice... he uses a sniper so it should be safe because he will support from behin-" He said before being cut by Yanto "no! Are you crazy or something!? I cant let him joining the war at this young age..." He said then look at Raden
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Raden just stood there holding his AWP tightly still hoping to be able to join in but Yanto keep refuse and said "go back Raden...If you follow the straight road there you will arrive at the village" he said then looking at one of the soldier named Ray,"Ray! Take him there..."
Ray looked confused and just nodded, "alright kid...Looks like you're causing trouble, lets go back" he said waiting behind for Raden to follow
Raden could only lower his head and walk following Ray, "alright lets get this fast...we should go" Yanto said start moving followed by other soldiers, Karram looked at Raden for a moment, feeling sorry for him, then followed Yanto.
Meanwhile on the way back, Raden just looked gloomy while hugging his AWP tightly, making Ray curious, "why you did this kid? You know how dangerous war is, right?" Ray said
Raden just silent for a moment and said "i want to protect them...I don't want to lose family again..." He said in sad tone. Hearing that, Ray feel sorry for Raden "i know what you wanna do is good kid...and you once killed a terrorist but that was because you were forced to...Are you sure you can shoot other soldiers like us?" He ask
Raden thought for a moment ,"maybe...youre right...They may have the same fate as me...but...I don't want to suffer the same fate either" he said
Ray thought and started to try to advise Raden "you know...I myself don't want to either... but we have a reason for that... maybe..or maybe you can kill them with honor? We all have our reasons for war...we are not terrorists or barbarians that cause we have reason to protect somebody...That's what my father used to say before he died" he said feel like remembering the past
Raden heard that and felt quite motivated....War is scary... but there is always a reason behind it all...Making Raden even more convinced that protecting is the reason he is here...
Raden started running back to meet Yanto, Ray was shocked "hey?! Where are you going??!" He ask in suprised
"To protect them!" Raden shout kept running and started covering his mouth with a bandana, "ugh...that kid, wait for me!" Ray followed along
Meanwhile on the other side, Booom!!, The sound of an explosion was heard. Karram's team is still fighting there shooting the enemies.
"Theres too man- auggh!" One of the soldiers shouted and was shot. The attacks continued until the enemy took out an RPG, "RPG!!!" Shout Karram told to retreat but too late, the RPG was fired and exploded
Yanto opened his eyes, his eyes looked blurry and tried to get up but it was too late because the enemy had already started to make him unconscious by hitting him and Karram was also knocked unconscious and they were taken to a enemy small base.
Karram opened his eyes feeling like someone was calling him, "Karram! Wake up! Hey!" Yanto shout but then being punched in the face
It turns out they were tied up outside and detained, "Finally we got them!" One of the enemies, he is the leader of this camp. "Who are you black man?" Yanto ask in annoyed
"Impolite" The leader said before kicking Yanto hard in the face, "my name is Kama...The leader of this camp!" he said in proud
"I didn't know that ugly black person could be this proud" karram said in joking as he start being kicked hard in the face, "Look at yourself in the mirror you idiot! You're as black as me!" Kama said in annoyed
Karram try to sit up, "hah! Im better than you atleast!" He said with proud, Kama, who was fed up, immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare to shoot them.
The soldiers seemed to be starting to give up, "im sorry Raden...looks like i cant see you again..." Yanto said have started to surrender to the situation
In the count ...3...2...Suddenly a shot came from an unknown direction, hitting the head of the enemy who was ready to shoot them
Kama confused where the shot came from, until several other enemies were shot dead from a distance. They started to get ready until Ray followed by shooting some enemies and approaching the team, "hey you guys alright?" He ask in worried
Ray began to untie them and told them to hurry up and gather to the point, "what happening? How did you get back? Where did the attack come from??" Yanto ask make sure of something
"Raden shot them from far, he was there on the tree" Ray said while pointing far away there was a reflection of light where Raden was.
"That kid...." Yanto said feel confused about what happened, "hahaha! this kid really something, i told you!" Karram said with laugh feel relieved not to be killed on time ,"lets get hurry up" Karram said start to go first
The others started to catch up and rush but another enemy was chasing from behind, Raden's sniper shot quickly finished them off right on target. "Dang! This kid is spicy! Hell yeahh!!" Karram shout with enthusiasm
After they came back and rested for a while, "how...how do you let Raden come there?" Yanto ask to Ray still curious in tired
"Well...He ran straight there...I could only follow" Ray said sit directly on the fallen tree trunk
After that Raden just arrived and walked over bowing his head down, "im sorry dad...i should no-" Raden said before Yanto hugged him tightly , "thank you son...thank you...you save our life there...im so sorry was so hard on you earlier..." Yanto said in guilty feeling
Karram patted Raden on the shoulder, "haha! Look at you kid, youre now like a real soldier! Good job and thank you so much...I can't die miserably there" he said very proud to Raden
Suddenly a call came in "Team-4 , are you there? Copy"
"yeah were here alive, Their small camp has been eliminated, report copy" Karram respons
"Report received, good work Team-4, Time to gather at the east camp, over" Call ended

"And thats how his first real war...I know killing is a hard thing but for that reason he became more determined...weird kid huh?" Yanto said while looking at John
John thought how this ghost was so skilled, "What a talented child, huh?" He said
"Hoho...of course he is...Even very good at martial arts at the age of 11, He trains because of his ambition...It seems like this situation really forced him to lose his childhood..." Yanto said in pity
To be continue...
