Keyanna stopped walking and thought for a bit to correct herself, \u201cWell, Building is<\/em> a thing.\u00a0 It\u2019s just not an official Talent Set, more of a side skill.\u201d<\/p>\n

AD7 stopped just as she reached Keyanna trying to think of a good reason her favorite Talent Set would disband.\u00a0 None came to mind.\u00a0 Building was never the strongest of Talent Sets.\u00a0 It was mostly used to surprise opponents with tricky gadgets or aid those that lacked fighting skill.\u00a0 AD7 enjoyed planning her machines and seeing what she could do with the gadgets.<\/p>\n

She only used what she built to create wonderful cities and tower style defenses.\u00a0 Of course, the only real limit was what the Builder knew how to build.\u00a0 With eyes wide and mouth open she couldn\u2019t believe what she had just learned.\u00a0 Her Talent Set, what she used to define herself for all her life was no more, \u201cBut\u2026 Why?\u201d<\/p>\n

Keyanna stood at the entrance to the Talent Square and scratched her head awkwardly looking at the mossy ground.\u00a0 She wanted to think of a good answer other than the obvious reason AD7 was famous, or infamous.\u00a0 She finally gave up and spoke her way around the issue, \u201cI\u2019m not really sure exactly what happened.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t around.\u00a0 I do remember something about it causing problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

AD7 listened intently and thought.\u00a0 Unsafe?\u00a0 That was possible if someone abused machines, it would cause problems.<\/em>\u00a0 Regardless of what she thought of her favorite Talent Set, it was gone now.\u00a0 She had to choose another one or come up with something close to it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the old designs were destroyed,\u201d Keyanna continued, \u201conly a few plans have survived.\u201d\u00a0 She glanced at AD7 and started walking.<\/p>\n

AD7 followed Keyanna suddenly realizing why she was so important to Pure in Sanity.<\/em> \u00a0She was the only one that still had plans for the old style machines.\u00a0 Granted, they were buried somewhere in her mind, but she used them before they were never really forgetten.<\/p>\n

The two ladies looked into the Talent Square and its restless activity as they passed.\u00a0 There were a few targets made of wood in the center of the square.\u00a0 Most were broken, burning or otherwise destroyed.\u00a0 Champions continued to strike at their remains though.\u00a0 Other Champions sparred in the open field.<\/p>\n

There were two sparring Champions that seemed out of place.\u00a0 While lacking none of the fighter\u2019s spirit, they were far less talented than others.\u00a0 Their clumsy attacks and awkward movements made AD7 giggle a bit.\u00a0 She could only imagine herself as one of them when she started training.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry if I interrupted you before,\u201d Keyanna said beginning to meander towards the equipment sellers, \u201cWe really are happy that the two of you decided to help us.\u00a0 But we\u2019ll have to act fast to get your friend out of Rubin\u2019s Trail.\u201d<\/p>\n

AD7 followed Keyanna taking the hint of their next destination.\u00a0 The two of us<\/em>, she thought.\u00a0 AD7\u2019s mind went back to the hanger entrance.\u00a0 Was she talking about that guy?<\/em>\u00a0 He was kind enough but something about the way he looked at her was just plain creepy.\u00a0 \u201cNo.\u00a0 It\u2019s perfectly fine.\u201d\u00a0 The way AD7 spoke said more than her words could have.\u00a0 She was quite happy to be away from Cyd.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought so,\u201d Keyanna smiled as she spoke.\u00a0 Looking at AD7\u2019s clothes and the fact that she had no possessions, Keyanna decided to start with the basics, \u201cWe\u2019ll need some good equipment for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

AD7 followed Keyanna\u2019s gaze to her clothes.\u00a0 She was still wearing the simple brown shirt and pants from the Rejuvenation Center.\u00a0 She picked that particular shirt for the fitting dark humorous message.\u00a0 The words \u201cI Live Again<\/em>\u201d were printed in bold letters on the front while \u201cWhy is everyone older<\/em>\u201d was printed on the back.<\/p>\n

The clothes did their job well enough, but she\u2019d need a bit more if she was going to survive an adventure, \u201cSure, where are we going?\u201d<\/p>\n
