This is the last of the Three stories about Hunter. This one he may have been 5 , I'm not sure, but no older than that.
Never before and never again will there be a battle as intense as the one between Hunter, GI Joe, and an entire tribe of Indians on Fireplace Hill.
It all started on a gray dreary day. Hunter and GI Joe were laying in their boat in the blue sea of carpet. They were anchored just off the island of Fireplace. Their unit had captured the island from the cowboys just days before and Hunter and GI Joe had been left to stand guard while the rest of the unit took the prisoners to jail across the sea.
GI Joe was keeping watch while Hunter slept. With it being so hazy and quiet near the beach GI Joe started to doze off as well. Suddenly, he was shaken from his sleepiness by a loud shrill cry! He jumped to his feet grabbing his gun. He gave Hunter a soft kick and woke him up. "Hunter, I think there is someone on the island." he said. " Don't be silly" said Hunter, " We've captured all the cowboys, there was no-one left."
"But I".....GI Joe did not get to finish his sentence because just then there was another loud shrill cry! Hunter froze in his tracts. "I've heard that sound before, its , its, INDIANS!!"
Hunter and GI Joe could now see hundreds of Indians coming over the top of fireplace Hill. They had bows and arrows and some even had guns. Hunter knew they were out numbered. He turned to GI Joe and asked "what shall we do?". He thought about leaving the island in their boat, but then he remembered his commander had told him to guard the island from invaders. "we must fight Hunter, even if it means we die."replied GI Joe. Hunter shivered but then grew straight and tall. "Lets get um!!" he sneered.
They grabbed their guns and jumped from their boat to the beach. "CHARGE!" they both shouted, and up the hill they ran. They were hidden from the Indians behind some palm trees. From here GI Joe and Hunter could take a short break and plan their attack. " How do you think they got here?" asked GI Joe. "By boat I guess, on the other side of the island." said Hunter.
"But why do you think they came?" GI Joe asked. Hunter thought and thought..Then he looked up "thats why!" he whispered.
Just coming over the crest of the hill followed by a band of Indians was one lone cowboy. " He must have escaped and swam to the Indian's island and got them to help him get the island back." said Hunter. "We've got to get him first", said GI Joe, If we get him maybe the Indians will think we are powerful and run away." Hunter liked GI Joe's idea. "I can get him with my Lazar gun, but its so loud once i shoot it all the Indians will know where we are" said Hunter "It is our only chance" sighed GI Joe.
Hunter stood up, aimed his lazar gun and ZAP! "Got Him!" But they had been right about the noise. All the Indians saw the boys hiding in the palm trees.
Some of the Indians got scared when they saw the cowboy fall down. They ran as fast as they could, back to the boats. However, some remained. They came tearing down the hill shouting and screaming an Indian war cry. Hunter and GI Joe jumped from behind the trees and ran straight for the Indians, shooting as they went. It looked hopeless to the boys, and to make matters worse, after only knocking down only a few Indians their guns broke! They looked at each other with panic in their eyes. They knew this was the end.
The Indians kept shooting. All they could do now was dodge the arrows and bullets and look for a way of escape. Then suddenly, Hunter saw something bright and shiny hidden under a fern. It was a giant yellow crayon, and it could shoot like a gun. Hunter grabbed the yellow crayon but then tossed it to GI Joe, narrowly missing an arrow that stuck in the tree beside him. Hunter thought, GI Joe was a better shot. He pulled the trigger on the bottom of the crayon just in time. A large Indian stood right before him. The crayon magically became a machine gun and in minutes they wiped out the whole tribe of Indians.
The fireplace was safe!
Hunter and GI Joe walked back to their boat and ate a snack of cookies and milk. It had been a long day and they were tired, but the rest they wanted so badly would have to wait.
Just when they were about to lay down Hunter felt someone's presence behind him.. Slowly he turned around... it was a lady who looked like a MOM ! . " Hunter! " she said softly, "are you coming or not?! We're late for church!!"
Stunned, but only for a moment, Hunter jumped up, grabbed GI Joe and threw him into the Moms purse. "Were off to another adventure!!" he cried.
