Evolving Threads (Multi-crossover)

Kill the Mohawk

Ryuko nods before taking off in an attempt to find where Tatsumi was. She looked practcally everywhere from houses to fields, to empty arenas and found nothing.

Ryuko: Shit, still nothing. 

Senketsu: Make sure to pace yourself, and make sure to take breaks when you get tired.

Ryuko: OK, OK, I get it. You're starting to sound like my dad.

Senketsu: I just want to help you improve yourself, especially because...

Ryuko: Because what?

Senketsu: I'll explain later. For now, we should keep searching. It should be a spot that Tatsumi would think suited us best, so what would that be?

Ryuko: Probably a place away from people, but spacious enough for us to be able to train in a place like... I got it!

Ryuko starts making a B-line towards the edge of the island until she stepped foot on a nice sandy beach. The sun hadn't come up yet and so the sky was still filled with stars.

Ryuko: Yeah, this is definitely where he'd be.

She takes a few steps forward before getting a tap on the shoulder, she quickly turns around to see Tatsumi but before she could say anything, he throws a punch at her. She flinched as the fist stopped right before it reached her face instead she received a small pluck.

Tatsumi: Boom, if I were an enemy you would've been dropped right then and there. 

Ryuko: Well, that's what I'm here for right? To make sure stuff like that won't happen.

Tatsumi: Yup, and it looks like you just pasted part one of your endurance test. Now, the real test'll begin. 

Ryuko: I'm ready for anything you throw at me!

Tatsumi: Good, cause I ain't gonna go easy on you even if your only really going to be doing one thing.

Ryuko: And that is?

Tatsumi: We're going to play a simple game of tag.

Ryuko: ...You can't be serious.

Tatsumi: Oh I am. And here's how it's going to work. I'm going to be it, and your goal is to go ten minutes without getting tagged.

Ryuko: Really? I thought this would be more... I don't know grueling.

Tatsumi gives a devilish smirk.

Tatsumi: And for each time I tag you, you have to do a plank for two minutes. This'll last until you either last the ten minutes or I tag you so many times that you'd be doing the planks for as much time as we have left which should be around two hours and some change.

Ryuko: P-Planks for two hours?!

Tatsumi: You said you wanted grueling, I'm giving you grueling. Now get running, you've got ten seconds for each time I tag you.

Ryuko takes a gulp before taking off as fast as she could, hoping that her speed would be enough to get away from Tatsumi. That was before she turned around to see Tatsumi right behind her tagging her almost instantly.

Tatsumi: Tag that's two.

Ryuko: This is going to be a long morning ain't it.

Tatsumi: Seven, six.

Ryuko rushes off again, only to get tagged over and over and over and over again all until she eventually realizes something.

Tatsumi: Damn, I think we're at thirty minutes now. Ready to call it quits?
