- Bihata. How did Teetas come to Majhi Tola?
- Uncle. I had gone prepared. While returning, we ran in Singh's gang. You know I don't like getting into fights. But he started brandishing his LMG! Bullets rained from both sides Barn! Bang! I picked up my gun, But it got stuck..
- So did It finally work?
- It did. And how! After that, I started firing and caused a frenzy. But I couldn't save Paras and Surta.
The phrase "I had gone prepared" seems to me a bit odd in this particular context.
Prepared for what? Does Bihata mean that he took his gun with him.
Thank you.

Non-PRO (2): Sheila Wilson, Yvonne Gallagher
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I was prepared
"gone prepared" is correct but usually people don't speak like that.
or try something like
- I was ready for them
- I went prepared
