Snake against mongoose, though one must surely die, neither will back down just yet.

No one knows what happened that day when Rikki-Tikki-Tavi went down in that hole to fight Nagaina, well no one but me, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. Just to be clear it’s not something I’m proud of at all. People think I’m a hero but honestly I’m not, but people believe what they want to believe whether it’s the truth or not. What really happened was this; As I plunged into Nagaina’s dark hole with my teeth clenched against her tale, my body scraping against the hard cold earth I came to a realization, I can't let her escape. I had thought I was an honorable mongoose, that I was honoring my new family, but I was doing quite the opposite I had done a ghastly thing. As I was saying, while being dragged in that hole I thought of a plan. I let go of Nagaina’s tail and rested on the cool earth by the entrance of the hole regaining my strength. I had thought she would’ve been slithering in circles trying to find and kill me. I later found that she wasn’t looking for me. She was in a corner crying.

Without the small, but powerful, mongoose the two cobras would have seriously injured or killed the family, and members of the garden. The cobra snakes were threatening Rikki and his family, and he did not want any of his family members getting hurt by these powerful reptiles, so he had to take them down. Rikki put himself in danger to provide safety for his family, making him a brave hero. Although Rikki-Tikki-Tavi killed the snakes, he did this to save and protect people and animals, and this is not being a vigilante but a hero because he was not doing this to be evil.
