After hours of fighting, the birds and the pigs slowed down, and finally stopped, exhausted.
They stayed immobile, panting and glaring at each other.
And looking above them, at the red and green masses that filled the skies and blocked the sun.
Red and Leonard had grown so titanic they had exited the atmosphere (and yet, thanks to the magics causing their growth, had no trouble in the vacuum), their bodies now small planetoids of pure, absolute muscle and power, bulging to the point their feet were now hundreds, maybe even thousands of miles away from the island even though their pecs, still pushing each other, were perfectly above it.
And they were not moving.
Because they were just as exhausted as the normal-sized birds and pigs after all these hours of punching and brawling non-stop.
So exhausted, in fact, each one didn't even try or bother removing the other's fist, even though said fist was still squishing his face.
They stood immobile, in all their might, particles of water and lost feathers floating around them, in the gravitational field generated by their gargantuan proportions.
Finally, Red opened his beak.
"Look... Wanna call it a day and try again in one or two weeks? Right now, I wanna sleep during that time even more than keep clobbering you."
"Yeah, why not..." sighed Leonard. "But that doesn't mean you win this round!"
"Actually, it does," snarked the bird hero.
The pig king wanted to reply to that snark, but barely had he opened his mouth than the biggest yawn ever escaped it.
"Actually... How about in a month? I'm gonna need at least that to recover."
"...Yeah, a month sounds nice."
