Bananalutionary War

The Bananalutionary War was the first full fledged war fought between the Mushroom Army and Banana Army. They had many battles before the war but nothing other than a rivalry. They had been fighting for land in the Wastelands for a hundred years. The event that set off the war was when a task force of Bananas kidnapped General Fungi and some of the higher ranked soldiers in his infantry, the 37th MAIU (Mushroom Army Infantry Unit). The Banana task force was led by Second Lieutenant Bronco of the Banana Army. Among General Fungi, the other kidnapped included his son, Marksman Jimmy Fungi, Sergeant Four, Private Dinket, and Private Corn. Knowing that Fungi was a very well respected and important general in the Mushroom Army, they contacted the Mushroom Army Headquarters to ransom the soldiers for some land on the outskirts of The Mushroom Kingdom. When the army didn't comply, Bronco shot Jimmy and threatened to kill Fungi and the other hostages. Though seemingly having the upper hand Bronco failed to look at the style in which Fungi led his soldiers. Fungi led his soldiers very courageously, and though his plans most of the time seemed very risky, always produced results. This gave his infantry immense respect for him that most other generals didn't have from their soldiers. One of Fungi's captains, Clint Bhertalski, took the initiative to lead a large group of supporting members of the 37th Infantry Unit to the Banana Military facility the hostages were being held at, launching an assault on the base. With Clint leading the assault head on, chaos erupted through the base. In the Chaos Fungi and his soldiers try to escape the facility but are stopped by Bronco. Bronco fights with the soldiers, killing Private Dinket before Fungi shoots and kills him, avenging his son. The 37th Infantry unit wipes out the Banana military base through overwhelming force, leaving no survivors. After the Banana army learned of the attack, the info was relayed to banana King George III. Seeing this as an act of aggression, he declares war on the Mushroom Kingdom. The Bananalutionary War lasted only 5 months, spanning 7 battles, with 5,900 casualties overall. The war ended with the Banana Army retreating to regroup their forces.
