Chapter 133: Helping

• Lisa was feeling a bit guilty after agreeing to Hanna’s plea. Hanna wanted to work with Gillian inside the Mech quite badly and yet it was her own responsibility to keep Hanna safe. She couldn’t help but think of what John and Mary going to say about all this? They were undoubtedly going to try and refuse; after all, Hanna is still an underaged young teen. However, now was not the time to dwell on these thoughts. She was now in the middle of sparring with Zane.
• Zane had been slashing and jabbing at her countless times with his Tigger Claws and each time been repelled by the absent-minded Lisa. The two of them had been going at it, outside in the Powerhouse buildings afternoon shade, for nearly twenty minutes. Everyone, except for Hanna and Mr. Yates, were watching the two spar. Hanna and Mr. Yates were having a more in-depth discussion as to what really might have happened with the strange connection Hanna experienced and what Hanna actually understood about the Mech.
• Lisa wished she could be listening in on the two of them, but Zane needed equal attention. As the spar continued, Lisa could easily tell that Zane still needed extensive training. His strikes were slow, directionally sloppy and his movements were often wasted; expending extra energy that could be used to fuel additional attacks or deal with counters. Since Zane was fully human, Lisa understood that he needed to learn the importance of energy conservation and that he needed to clearly work on his stamina.
