TOON CALL OF DUTY

CHAPTER 1

The toons trembled as the U-boats neared Toonaha Beach. A light shower sprinkled the toons who were soon to go to battle. "I want everyone to make their way up the beach and clear out those murder holes!" commanded Captain Wally. The boats smashed against the water. A toon turned a crank which put down the protective wall and a storm of bullets flew into the U-boat. Most of the toons thinking that they could have fought for their country died when this happened. "OK, go, go, go!" shouted Wally. The surviving toons jumped out of the small boat and into the water. They were pulled down by their guns, and some couldn't get up. The toons made their way up the beach, hiding behind wreckage. An explosion went off right next to Wally. He was shell-shocked. He looked around, dazed, at the dying soldiers, some pulling wounded friends to safety, but not accomplishing their goal, and ending up like their friend. Wally came out of shell-shock and heard Sergeant Funnyfoot shouting, "What do we do now captain?" A shower of bullets bounced off their cover and they ducked for safety. Wally commanded, "Get your men up the beach and get to the rally point!" Funnyfoot looked around. Another shower of bullets came and they ducked again. "Where is the rallying point?" he shouted over the gunshots. Wally pointed to a wall of rocks. "Right behind those rocks!" he shouted.

The toons made their way up the beach and took cover behind the rocks. "Get me some flame throwers!" Wally told Sergeant Funnyfoot. He nodded and shouted the order. Some flame thrower troops started their way up the beach. One of the gas tanks got shot and it exploded in an inferno, killing all the other flame thrower troops but one, who made it up safely. He asked what he needed to do. "Make your way around the flanks, go inside, and get them!" commanded Wally. "I'll get you some covering fire! Now go!" The toon made his way around the rocks and to the entrance of the bunker while Wally and the other toons shot anyone who walked out of the bunker. The flame thrower toon pulled his trigger and the bunker burst into flames.

Wally and Sergeant Funnyfoot sat on top of a hill and watched the soldiers who had died for their country wash away in the tide of the sea. "It's quite a sight," said Sergeant Funnyfoot quietly. Wally kept watching. "Yes," he said. "Quite a sight…"

T-Day +8 hours

We landed on the beach two hours ago and only a handful of us made it. The Toonan's had three MG42's in a bunker but we cleared it out with a flamethrower. Sergeant Funnyfoot is a good soldier and follows orders well. I wouldn't want to have anyone else watching my back.

Wally put away his record book and turned off his light. He climbed into bed and went to sleep. He dreamed of battles and of his training that night. Hours passed and then, Wally was awoken by something. He heard feet of many toons and guns being loaded. He grabbed his gun and aimed it at the door. All was quiet… Suddenly, the door burst open and three Toonans jumped in. They couldn't see Wally but he could see them. He shot them with his rifle and sounded the alarm. The other toons rushed out of their tents and Wally came out of his cabin. A Toonan was hiding behind a barrel of gasoline. Wally shot at him but hit the barrel. It exploded, and the Toonan blew to smithereens. "Well, that works too," said Wally shrugging. A Toonan fired a shot at one of Wally's soldiers. Wally flipped around and fired his rifle. "Mein rucken!" shouted the Toonan and fell to the ground dead.

After almost all the Toonans were dead they surrendered. "Kein jagd! Wir sich ergeben!" (Don't shoot! We surrender!) pleaded the Toonans. Wally and Sergeant Funnyfoot shouted over the Toonans' yelling, "I can't understand you! What are you saying?" The Toonans continued pleading in the Toonan language. Finally Wally yelled, "Drop 'em!" and his soldiers killed the Toonans.

T-Day +18 hours

Our camp site was attacked by the Toonans last night. It was hard to see and I could only tell where they were when they fired their guns. We think they were surrendering but we killed them.

Wally was called over by Lieutenant Fuzzymuffin, a dark green rabbit. "Captain Wally, we have just received orders from General Flapjack," he said, unrolling a map. "Moonlight Star, a mother of five, has all of her sons in war and four of them have been killed in action. I have been informed that she will be receiving all four telegrams tonight." Wally looked at the map where Lieutenant Fuzzymuffin was pointing. "If you head to the refugee camp a few miles northeast of here, where they tend wounded soldiers, you might be able to find her last son, Private Bananagoober."
