War Dogs: The Start of a Friendship

This is a strange version of events based off WW1 but considering some of it's confusing timeline and maps I decided to change some things around like changing some events of the war and the names of some locations.

This more of a first draft give me your thoughts on it if you read it I could use the help.

This story involves two Furry OC's of mine Ayo Ajanlekoko (King Joker) and Chris Cooper sadly only one has a page detailing them a little and that's Ayo the Hyena.

April 6, 1915, Lost in the Great Trench

The silence was eerie not in three months had there been a break between the gunshots and explosions but now not a single shot has been heard in six hours, a storm was approaching from the west with a single raindrop follows a hail of bullets, huddled in a hole sat three soldiers talking amongst each other playing cards, Two young German Shepherds sat across from each other looking almost completely identical, it really was no surprise to learn they were brothers, the last member of their little party was a Hyena who was dwarfed by his companions, the Hyena wore a large grin as he threw his cards down, the brothers groaned as the Hyena reached out and pulled the pot towards him which consisted of a few wrinkled Marks and a silver 3 Mark coin as the two German Shepherds hung their heads in defeat they commented “Ayo, you lucky son a bitch...” in perfect unison, the jovial laughter of Ayo bounced off the trench, the crescendo of his laughter was cut off as an artillery shell landed close by making the ground tremble their hands found their rifles almost immediately, a wounded Ibex limped around the corner as one of the brothers scrambled to collect the playing cards, The Ibex's torso was filled with tiny shrapnel, coated in tons of blood so much so you could tell it wasn't his own, one of his horns was snapped in half and the other had a large piece of shrapnel embedded in it, blood ran freely down his face “Help me... Help...” The Ibex choked out before falling to the ground in front of the trio, gunshots rang out in the distance the fire fight was steady, Ayo sighed “Ludwig give him a quick patch.” Ayo ordered looking at the Ibex with a mixture of frustration and pity, Ludwig one of two brothers pulled a bandage along with a cloth from his satchel, Ludwig pulled the Ibex up off his face into a sitting position wiping his face of blood before tightly wrapping the bandage around his head, Ayo proceeded to wrap his arms around the Ibex pulling him into a nearby hole recently dug out by the Trio laying him against a small wood wall, Ayo sprinted outside to the waiting brothers “Let's go!” Ayo shouted running through the trench to catch a soldier taking a running jump into the trench his hand found its way to its holster pulling out his Luger P08 as he raised his weapon the soldier twisted his body towards Ayo only to catch two bullets to his chest, the soldiers eyes were wide with terror as he collapsed back to the ground going still after, Ayo jumped up onto a ledge running the edge of the trench his rifle resting between two small sandbags peeking out he caught sight of two more enemy soldiers running as fast as they could for Ayo's trench one on his left the other on his right taking aim he pivoted on his rifle to each side taking two shots the first struck the soldier right in the temple boring a hole clear through his skull, the second shot blew out the advancing soldiers eye gushing out blood he stumbled forward before grabbing onto the charred remains of a tree snapping it in half as his weight crashed into it at full force, another shot rang out shocking Ayo as one of the sandbags were pierced by a bullet spilling sand on the trench's ledge, Ayo ducked quickly duck walking some ways before very carefully peaking out locating the enemy sniper who spied his dead comrade, Ayo watched his face scrunch up a tear running down his face, Ayo taking advantage of this rested his finger on the trigger ready to cut this life short, but Ayo hesitated as the enemy sniper lowered his weapon grabbing his face as more tears poured from his eyes at that moment a loud boom was heard as a distant Artillery gun let loose its ordinance just on the edge of the enemy trench the once visible tears became a large puff of smoke, Ayo lowered his weapon solemnly as soldiers were heard rushing to the unprotected line as Ayo turned his back to the line, a loud blood-curdling scream broke past all gunfire and yells, Ayo hung his head low as he paced back and forth in the trench for a few moments before hopping back up to see a group of six soldiers rushing over to the destroyed section of the trench, none of them raised their weapons as two took off with the body of their dead comrade, Ayo as heartless as he could be dared not to fire upon them after all everyone must bury their dead, Ayo glanced over the trench at the unaware soldiers and wishing not to fire upon these men without their guns drawn tossed a grenade off to the side as he focused his prey's reaction as expected each one reached for their weapon, Ayo had no qualms taking the life of these soldiers now they deserved at least a chance after collecting the corpse of a fellow soldier as foolish as it was Ayo had to award them for doing some good in this messed up world, Ayo spied a soldier standing deathly still after the blast standing near the area of destroyed trench another soldier peaked out next to him, the soldier who stood still caught a bullet to his heart with it he spun sliding back down into the trench to his terrified comrade who let loose a loud frightened scream which was abruptly cut short, Ayo quick to react threw another grenade towards the destroyed trench which it rolled into it, two frightened soldiers scrambled to their feet leaving their heads slightly exposed, timing it correctly Ayo synchronized his gunfire with the explosion and put a small hole through the side of the one of their heads killing them instantly at that moment another shot rang out landing a few feet away from Ayo digging up the ground somewhat, Ayo attempting to divert the soldier's attention aimed for a dead soldiers grenade blowing up the soldiers body grabbing the attention of the only competent soldier who lowered his weapon for a split-second enough for Ayo to lodge a bullet between the man's teeth, all that was left was the terrified rookie who dared not move a muscle from his prone position in the trench, Ayo played the waiting game with this soldier until he peeked over the trench to see if the coast was clear needless to say the bullet left in his head gave him his answer as he collapsed dead surrounded by his fellow men, a dead silence fell across the trench once more than the enemy regrouped nothing was heard for a couple hours by then Ayo had regrouped with his friends, Fritz the second of the two brothers walked pridefully a smoke hanging from his dry lips, grabbing it from his lips he flashed a smile to Ayo “How many did you bag today I got 5.” Fritz said with apparent pride “One for each day of the week.” Ayo said briefly smiling as he saw Fritz start counting on his fingers, Ludwig annoyed and almost ashamed pushed his brothers hand down “7 brother...” Ludwig said hopelessly turning to Ayo with a look of disbelief “You really shouldn't encourage him.” Ludwig said in obvious disapproval “I did nothing wrong I merely answered a question.” Ayo stated in his defense “I don't think we should brag about this it is dirty work after all.” Ludwig said walking past Ayo his brother in tow, gunshots broke the silence once more the trio startled by this feared an enemy advance on their trench and took to the Frontline.

                   Deserter's POV

My hands couldn't stop trembling I dropped the gun as his cries hit my ears, my heart pounded out of my chest as I ran out that door never to look back, I heard shouts behind me then footfalls someone was in pursuit and in seconds it was compounded, I had no chance I was going to die, I took the biggest gamble of my life scaling that wall running across No Man's Land trying to outrun the poisonous gases that were rolling across the ravaged land, I bought myself some time as the soldiers debated giving chase, but soon enough they we're back on my tail and gaining on me “Stop dammit! We will shoot!” A soldier screamed out cocking his bolt action rifle, I was not that far from the edge of the trench and with that knowledge I pushed my legs to the max at that point 2 shots rung out followed by a third shortly after, I was at the edge of the trench when I spun around and that's when I was tackled into the trench a small gas mask pressed to my face as we fell in, I stared at the man in a cold sweat as he stared back, his eyes could barely be seen through his mask, but I never knew true fear until I saw those eyes, I reached to push the mask from my face he smashed it back to my face in an instant “Damn fool! Are you trying to get killed?!” He chastised from the other side of his mask, I had not an ounce of fight in me and shook like a leaf under him at that point the cloud encapsulated us, I never broke eye contact with him through that dense poisonous cloud, he on the other hand was spooked by a couple loud footfalls and drew his pistol aiming it in the direction of the noise after a long palpable wait two large figures appeared before us weapons pointed towards the ground gas masks adorning their face, slowly he holstered his pistol and the poisonous cloud passed, lowering the mask from my face I saw the two large figures raise their guns towards me as the man got off me taking off his mask revealing to me that he was a Hyena, the Hyena took a deep breath clearly relishing the fresh air and foregoing that menacing aura for one of brief peace before he turned to me with a hard glare “Stand!” He commanded, I scrambled to my feet eyes searching for his own only to realize just how short he was, I towered over him so much so that I had to peer downwards to lock eyes with him “I don't know what you were doing but I'll save our questions for later, first we must make it back to camp, you can walk?” He asked his eyes going up and down my body although I knew he was likely searching for any injuries I couldn't help but blush, I responded silently with a Curt nod “Good... Now follow!” He ordered again as he walked through the trench a little way before I was egged on by those two large soldiers and their guns.
