Danny led the troops on his horse while the others walked, Sam's horse Knight pulled a carriage that was carrying the cannons and she led the horse as they travelled. They had been walking towards the Tung Shao Pass for two days and they were feeling exhausted.
ALL THE MEN
For a long time we've been
Marching off to battle
DASH
In a thundering herd
We feel a lot like cattle
ALL THE MEN
Like the pounding beat
Our aching feet aren't
Easy to ignore
Tucker then ran up to the Kwan and Dash and smiled as he knew something that could cheer them up.
TUCKER
Hey, think of instead
A girl worth fighting for
"Huh?" Sam asked in confusion.
TUCKER
That's what I said
A girl worth fighting for
He pulled out a poster of a girl and day dreamed about what kind of girl he'd want to go out with. She then ran off not wanting to be part of this conversation.
I want her paler than the
Moon with eyes that
Shine like stars
Dash then shoved Tucker out of the way and smiled as he thought of the girl he'd want to go out with.
DASH
My girl will marvel at
My strength, adore my
Battle scars
Kwan then thought about the girl he'd like more than anything.
KWAN
I couldn't care less what she'll
Wear or what she looks like
It all depends on what
She cooks like
Beef, pork, chicken
Mmm
They came upon a river and then travelled through it, carrying the swords. All the men had begun to think about what kind of girl they will date when the war is over while Sam felt really uncomfortable about the whole conversation.
DASH TO SAM
Bet the local girls thought
You were quite the charmer
Tucker came out of the river looking like he had some muscles, but when he pressed his arms down all the water fell out of his armour leaving with skinny regular Tucker.
TUCKER
And I'll bet the ladies love
A man in Armor
As they passed some woman working in the field, Sam hid her face in embarrassment as some of the girls waved romantically at her.
ALL THE MEN
You can guess what we
Have missed the most
Since we went off to war
What do we want?
A girl worth fighting for
They all stopped for a break and then Sam was huddled by Dash, Tucker and Kwan who wanted to know what kind of girl she would like, making her feel really uncomfortable.
DASH
My girl will think I have no faults
KWAN
That I'm a major find
SAM
How 'bout a girl who's got a brain
Who always speaks her mind?
ALL THE MEN
NAH!
Tucker leaned on the carriage and smirked at them all. Sam scoffed at his silliness.
TUCKER
My manly ways and turn of
Phrase are sure to thrill her
DASH (WHISPERING TO SAM)
He thinks he's such a lady killer
Dash smacked Knight causing to walk forward and Sam laughed as Tucker fell onto the ground as the carriage moved. They came into the snowy mountains and Mr Lancer placed his snow coat on smiling proudly.
MR LANCER
I've a girl back home whose
Unlike any other
DASH (WHISPERING TO SAM)
Yet the only girl who'd
Love him is his mother
Mr Lancer heard what Dash had said and glared at him in offence. As they came closer to the village Dash had made a whole bunch of snow statues of different types of girls behind them.
ALL THE MEN
But when we come home
In victory they'll line up
At the door
What do we want?
A girl worth fighting for
All the men huddled in a line as they walked, Sam was starting again to feel really uncomfortable with what they were talking about.
Wish that I had
A girl worth fighting for
A girl worth fighting-
They all stopped their day dreaming as they came upon the village, but were shocked to see that it was all burned down. There was no village at all. Flames were still visible and the sky was covered in black smoke. Dora and Cujo who were riding in the carriage were shocked at the sight.
Danny hoped off his horse and transformed into his ghost form. He then ordered, "Search for survivors"
Sam left Knight and everyone walked around in different directions in hopes of finding any survivors. Sam came upon what used to be a house, she then looked at the snow covered ground and saw a small handmade doll. She picked it up and figured there was children in this village and she bowed her head in prayer. Danny came up to her as she finished and just looked around in confusion.
"I don't understand. My father should have been here" Danny said.
"CAPTAIN!" They heard Mr Lancer shout.
They all walked over to where Mr Lancer was standing, he pointed over the hill and then dropped his head. Everyone was shocked to see the entire Imperial Army had been slain, ghosts and human soldiers were dead.
Danny then watched as Kwan came up carrying his father's helmet and sword and said solemnly, "The General. He did not survive"
Danny took the helmet breathing heavily, he then shut his eyes trying to hold the tears back. Sam watched sadly as Danny walked over to the other side while transforming into his human half, he placed his father's sword in the ground and then kneeled. He placed the helmet on the handle and said a prayer to his ancestors. Unable to hold it back any longer, he shed his tears and cried mourning for the loss of his father and knowing when he returned home to the capital, he would have to break the news to his family.
Sam walked up to him and said, "I'm sorry about your father"
Danny wiped his eyes and took a deep breath, he stood up and then placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "Thank you Wes"
He walked back over to his horse and got back on. He then said, "The Huns are moving quickly. We'll make better time to the Imperial City through the Tung Shao Pass. We're the only hope for the Emperor now. Let's move out"
Before leaving with the others, Sam placed the doll in front of the General's sword and said a quick prayer for the villagers and the soldiers that died, especially to Danny's father. She then walked back to Knight and caught up with the others.
