Art of the Berserk Rabbit

Chapter 1: Rabbit's Last Straw

It was quite an average day in the Valley, in which case, Rabbit was quite ready to launch a raid on a ninja monkey camp, which were a group of monkeys that had ventured outside of Baboon's control. The usual animals of the Valley gathered under the tree which Panda had instructed them to meet.

"Alright, what now Panda?" asked Rabbit who grumbled as he came into the scene.

"Ah, I'm glad everyone can make it" replied Panda, "as you can see from the intelligence reports from both Mantis and Snake, we can reveal that there have been a group of ninja monkeys that have gone astray from their usual hangouts in Dragon's territory."

"So why not we go kick their butts by now?" asked Rabbit.

"Patience" replied Panda, "we have also heard intelligence reports that Baboon may have recruited new ninja monkeys, and the ones that we're encountering are his old elite guard who have been instructed to implement raids on us."

"Oh my, these monkeys have to be stopped" said Duck as she gasped with such shock.

"But there's something else that Mantis and Snake picked up while they were doing their spying mission" continued Panda, to which he then ordered the two to the center stage.

"Thank you Master Panda" said Mantis as he walked up to the center, "as you all may know that we have spotted a suspicious group of ninja monkeys, who are the elite core of Baboon's force."

"And we have also discovered that Baboon has a new compatriot working to help these ninja monkeys implement their raids against us" added Snake as he made his usual hiss.

"Oh boy, a fresh butt to kick" laughed Rabbit who was overjoyed.

"We don't know that much about him" continued Snake, "but I saw him one time before he joined Baboon's forces, on my journey to spy on what Dragon was plotting."

"Well, what did you see?" asked Skunk.

"He didn't act like any other animal as he stood up on his two hind feet" replied Snake.

All the animals gasped in such shock, after Snake continue to describe how hairy Baboon's new compatriot really was, along with also how strong and muscular as well.

"Oh please, I can take on this new guy" laughed Rabbit.

"Sorry, but I can not afford to loose warriors such as yourself" said Panda as he stomped on his feet preventing Rabbit from leaving the scene, "it's too dangerous even for the likes of you, you'll have to stay here with Skunk, Pig, Ox and Bird."

"What?!" cried Rabbit who was quite outraged, "You're holding me back, you're not going to send someone like Fox, a girl into battle instead of me, are you?"

"Oh please, I can handle this new guy easy" replied Fox as she rolled her eyes to Rabbit's comments.

"This is a mission designed for me, Master Turtle, Crane, Fox and Tiger" continued Panda, "the rest of you shall be on your best defenses here."

As Panda began to leave the scene with Master Turtle, Crane, Fox and Tiger, meanwhile in the forest nearby the valley a new camp of elite ninja monkeys was being setup. Baboon's new compatriot, seemed to be like another primate, only his feet were quite big and large and his hair was all white. The new compatriot of Baboon was named Yeti, who was hired by Baboon to help train the elite core of the ninja monkeys.

"Ninja monkeys, in line now!" roared Yeti.

The elite ninja monkeys, immediately followed commands and lined up in order.

"You ninja monkeys are the elite core of your creed" said Yeti who marched back and forth of the ninja monkeys like a military drill Sergeant, "your old instructor Baboon has told me how the more underling class of ninja monkeys have failed to crush the Valley dwellers with miserable results, can anyone of you elite core members of your creed explain to me why you have failed?"

One elite ninja monkey raised his hand to which caught Yeti's attention.

"And what do you have to say to yourself, soldier, why have the more underling class of ninja monkeys have failed?" asked Yeti.

The ninja monkey was too embarrassed to openly talk about it in public, so he signaled Yeti to lower himself to listen what the elite ninja monkey had to say. Yeti began to become quite intrigued with Baboon's lack of leadership of even the average class of ninja monkeys. He smiled with glee, of Baboon's many failures to crush the Valley dwellers.

"Ah, so you have told on the failure of your former instructor Baboon on the many failed attempts to crush the Valley dwellers?" asked Yeti with astonishment to the elite ninja monkey who nodded, "Well then, it seems here if we want to kill two birds with one stone, I think we have the ability to have recruit Valley dwellers to go against each other, and then also expose Baboon to Dragon his utter failure. If you elite core ninja monkeys appoint me as your main instructor you are ordered to report to me, that'll be one of the happiest days in my entire life!"

But as Yeti was in the moment of his glory, an elite ninja monkey ordered to do scouting for the camp began to run into the scene.

"How dare you interrupt my moment of glory right here!" bellowed Yeti at the poor ninja monkey.

The ninja monkey then began to make the usual monkey sounds of warning his new instructor, that Valley dwellers were getting closer to the camp. Yeti paused for a moment to which he then signaled the ninja monkeys to get ready.

"Get to your positions now, setup that wall, I want to ensure these Valley dwellers do not enter our new camp!" ordered Yeti as he roared right at the ninja monkeys.

Back where Panda was leading the pack of Valley dwellers, they immediately stopped as they heard a strange sound.

"What the heck was that?" asked Fox.

"Hmm, from the sound of that, I would have to conclude that might be the new ally of Baboon's" replied Master Turtle.

"You are correct, but we must get a move on quickly if we are to see what this camp of ninja monkeys are up to" said Panda.

As the five animals continued on their journey to find out what was a camp of elite ninja monkeys doing in a forest near the Valley, meanwhile back in the same Valley, Rabbit was quite impatient of always taking orders from Panda. The rodent had just quite about enough of being ordered around by someone who was not in great shape anymore.
