They spot a crew of enemy soldiers trying to break into a temple and gun them down. One of the dead soldiers drops a live grenade, and both Battle and Socko are shocked when one of the locals jumps on the grenade to shield the blast, killing himself in the process.
One of the elders shows them a bell inside the temple and tells them that the people of the town sacrificed all their valuables to build the bell.
Suddenly another enemy attack comes and Battle and Socko join their fellow troops in defending the town and protecting the bell from destruction.
