In the shadow of a tree, Danny hides while staring at the group of pigs. 24 in all, 2 of them are young and the rest are grown. He eyes them suspiciously, a plan already formed in his mind. It's a long shot but if it works it'll definitely be worth it.

A rock in each hand, he eyes his targets. As a former high school baseball player, the technique and form were all ingrained in his mind. He moves slowly, getting into perfect pitching position.

BAM! STRIKE ONE! PIG'S OUT!

THWUP! STRIKE TWO! PIG'S OUT AGAIN!

DANNY WINS THE WORLD SERIES!

He launched the two rocks straight at the pigs, on target both times instantly killing them. The whole sounder of swine had no time to react before the figure of Danny launched himself into the clearing!

Dumb Danny, why would he do such a thing!

The pigs then knew who the murderer of their kind was! It was the man that was right in front of them. The whole battalion of bacon began charging his way!

‘Animal farm all over again I guess’. Danny smirks to himself. If there was a time for making jokes it definitely wouldn't be now! He turns around and takes off running. The passel of pork charged straight at him, murder in their eyes.

Danny ran through the jungle. He ran fast, but only fast enough to keep him away from the singular of sausage. He wanted them to be angry, he wanted them to chase him. His mind raced back to when he first encountered one of the pigs. Ugly, big and dangerous. But they had a flaw that he could exploit.

He ran on, his exhaustion strongly fighting to be noticed, the pain in his ankle barely being suppressed by the adrenaline rushing through his body. The herd of ham just a few feet behind him, but still he ran on! He had to, his eternal soul depends on whether this plan could work on not.

After another 20 minutes of running, his hope begins to run out and he begins running for the sake of saving himself from the bunch of barbecue rather than focus on finding his true pretty! That's right fellas, he's looking for the viper, although it should be the other way around.

‘I might have gotten self in a little too deep this time.’ he thinks to himself. His breath comes out ragged as he continues on. The horde of unprocessed hot dogs is miraculously still behind him. That's what happens when you murder a pig's baby.

Danny's hope has been all but destroyed. Hopelessness sets in. That is until he sees a cleaning up ahead, with the viper lying right in the center of it! It notices him and it even seems to give him a smile. 'Welcome back, I've been getting hungry and was just about to look for you, thanks for saving me the trouble.’ That's Danny's interpretation of the serpent's sinister smile. Danny himself couldn't help but smile either, little did the viper know what Danny had in store for it. Just as the viper was lifting it's terrible head up, it noticed something a little odd. The human was being followed by pigs! A lot of them. The arrogant snake didn't pay any mind to them though and only focused on the human running towards it. The viper starts slithering as fast as it can towards Danny. Why waste a meal that was offering itself upon on a silver platter?

The two sides charged on. The giant viper on one side, Danny and his angry platoon of pork chops on the other. Just as the two were about to reach, Danny darts quickly to the left! The nimble viper turned it's head and struck towards Danny, grabbing his leg in between it's two fangs!

Another sinister smile seemed to break out on the snake's scaly face. Then all hell broke loose.

One if the greatest questions in the world is what would happen if an unstoppable force met an immovable object. Well, in this case the unstoppable force was a group of angry pigs and the immovable object is the snake, which is actually very movable.

BOOM! CRASH! KAPOW! BANG! BLASH! SPLAT!

The band of bologna slammed into the snake's side! Even with the snake's humongous size, it still wasn't enough to withstand the berserk bond of boars.

With the pigs blind with rage, they attacked anything that wasn't them. Their tusks stabbed into the viper's skin, their immense momentum pushing them on.

Danny, with his leg still in the snake’s mouth, was pushed along with the snake. The snake had Danny's leg in a deathlock! Thankfully, Danny kept his wits thanks to [The Left Hand of Saeva Timere]. It had a sort of calling effect on Danny. Thanks to that calming effect, Danny was able to grab his knife that was hanging on his side and stab the viper!

The stab barely left a scratch however. He tried to stab it again but the viper decided to take a more active role in this battle. It flailed about, throwing Danny out of its mouth with one less shoe and a ripped pants leg.

When the viper began thrashing about, it also threw the pigs closest to it a few yards away but the others quickly converged on it. Due to the pigs’ sheer numbers and strength, the viper had no time to utilize its most deadly weapon, it's venomous fangs! It continued to thrash and flail, flinging pigs everywhere but as the pigs were flung away, the other members of the heap of hogs charged towards the viper, even more furious than before.

Danny himself crawled away from the battlefield and watched the bloody scene. His leg was bloody from where it had been in the viper's mouth, scratches could be found everywhere from the bottom of his foot to a little above his knee. He took some water from his canteen and poured water on his leg after he drank some. He was mentally exhausted, he was ready for this test to be over. He was ready to rest. He watched on as the battle turned fiercer, the caravan of Canadian bacon was beginning to weaken. A few dead here, a few injured there, nobody at full capacity, everyone's exhausted. The viper itself fared no better, however, it was able to finally gain some breathing room though. And that little bit of breathing room was fully utilized. Danny could visibly see the snake take in a deep breath. A bad premonition came over him as soon as he saw this.

The viper drew its head back in to the sky. The parcel of pork loin saw this as a sign of surrendering and charged forth full steam ahead. The viper seemed to smile at the foolish thought. It then let out a terrible hiss!

[Will power check: [Fearless] activates. Will power check passed.]

[Instinct check: Instinct is too low. Reflexes and judgement are down by 20%. Panic debuff added]

[The Left Hand of Saeva Timere] gave a nice purple flash and then the hand actually closed by it's own free will!

[[The Left Hand of Saeva Timere] activated it's [Berserk] ability]

[Panic debuff cured. Berserk buff added.]

[.......]

There were a few more notifications but when he saw that the berserk buff was added he could only see red. His eyes were blind with a demonic hatred . He didn't notice anything besides the group of pigs scurrying away from the hissing viper! Red covered his vision, then the red was covered by black and Danny became unconscious……….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not even a minute later

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[The Left Hand of Saeva Timere] fully activated the [Berserk] ability! It dug all five of it's fingers into Danny's chest! The purple jewel in the middle of the bony hand glowed with a deep purple light. The light fully covered Danny's body and then dissipated into thin air, leaving the light covering only his eyes.

“I AM BACK" A deep voice came out of Danny, a voice that had a hint of Danny's original voice but it was so unlike it there is no way it came from the same person.

“I AM BACK. HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
