Tank

Date/Timing: March 2016
Setting: Gym, Jaeger Academy; Kodiak, USA
.
Chao and Feng meet the other Ranger-track students on their third day at the Academy. Still, the instructors insist they train only with the same Australian brothers as the previous days. 
So they do.
At a pause between sparring bouts, the ruder brother elbows Chao, nods toward toward the powerful cadet with facial tattoos warming up four or five car lengths away. "Bet you can't take out Tank there."
Chao stares at the Australian for a moment, says carefully, "If our instructors should choose to assign us as partners and if it should come to be that I 'take him out', I will."
The Australian rolls his eyes, mutters something about sticks.
Feng asks, "May I try, brother?"
"What do you suppose the instructor would think?"
"I suppose that would depend on if I win or not."
"Go for it, Drapes," grins the Australian (though it's not an entirely friendly grin), clapping him on the shoulder, and heading off across the mat after his brother.
Feng wiggles from his shawl, then from his robe, and smiles hopefully at Chao.
He sighs but accepts the bundle.
Feng beams, sprints past the Australian brothers, launches himself eight feet in the air, hits Tank's upper back, and bounces off like an orange tennis ball into the ruder one.
Parata, as they come to know him, glances over his shoulder at the madly giggling pile of monkeys, says, "You okay there?"
