"...ired to go to the training area, preferably as soon as possible, if not, at least before his first battle." I don't recognise that robotic voice. Nor that fighter talking to Lava.

They soon turned to me. "Ah, Ozone, we were just talking about you. I want you to meet Cray. He's one of the few robotic fighters here." Lava introduced me to Cray. Cray's about the same height as Lava, but he doesn't have any electroshields on him.

"Greetings, Ozone. I have come here to tell you that you are required to go to the training area before you can properly battle. We are doing this so that you will know what goes on in battle, and so that we will know your strengths and weaknesses." Craytold
me.

"I guess I do need to start somewhere. Is the training area in the barracks?"

"Correct." Cray said to me. Makes sense, I am going to be 'playing' with weapons for the first time.

"You have achoice, Ozone." Lava told me "You could go to the barracks with Cray right now and come back to the tour later, or we can finish the tour first, then go to the barracks."

"I'll go to the barracks first." I quickly said. "I'd love to see the weapons you have."

"Very well." Cray confirmed.

I just gotta get 'em all.

"I presume Lava told you about the barracks." Cray asked me as we got to the place.

"He told me the general basics about it. Along with the details of an Ion-Distorter. Apparently, that is your 'latest addition to the collection'."

"That is correct, Ozone." Cray said without turning his head towards me "Getting to the main topic at hand, the first weapon you are going to use is the Subatomic Pistol Wasp."

"I'll take a wild guess:That weapon is the smallest of all." I guess baby steps first.

"Again, correct. This weapon is a Laser type. These weapons have decent fire rate and damage, giving it a good damage per second. They are also one of the most lightweight types." He explained "They are the most commonly used weapons by all fighters."

"So when do I get to hold one?"

"Before you can equip any weapons, you must be wearing at least the helmet that the rest of us use."

"Why's that?"

"All weapons are mind controlled, in a sense. The helmet can detect the electrical currents in your brain, allowing the fighter to fire the weapon without the need of a manual trigger." Mind control?

My father never told me about that. Then again, I suppose he can only tell me the 'basics' of what happens as a fighter, since he isn't one himself.

But now that I'm a fighter, I can understand how all this works. In detail.

"So I can just think about firing and the pistol will fire?"

"If you want to keep it in layman terms, yes."

"Um...define 'layman terms'."

"Simple." Cray just said "If you want to keep it simple, yes." Ok, now I know. "And that is only one of the functions of the helmet you will be using."

"You have one built for me?"

"Actually, all helmets are identical. And we have a large supply of them. Donot worry about its size and weather it will fit you or not. The helmet will automatically resize itself." Wow, that's impressive. A helmet that resizes itself to fit onits
wearer... I assume all gear have that function.

We came up to a computer, (As if I'm not walking and talking with one already) and Cray taps on the screen a few times. I can't see exactly what's going on there. But a bunch of small, light blue particles, that appear to be electrified, soon gatherstogether,
next to Cray, and seem to be compressing and shaping into what looks like the helmet.

So that computer can 'spawn' things? I have so much to learn.

"Put this helmet on." Cray ordered me. Taking orders from a robot, there's something you don't see every day. He gives me the helmet, it's a little big for me. But if it resizes like Cray said...

I put my helmet on my head, making sure that, what I presume is, it is the right way on... Yeah, it is a bit too big for me.

I felt the helmet shrinking on my head! I, at first, thought it was going to crush my skull, but it stopped just at the right size for me. So it does resize to fit our heads!

"Comfortable?" Cray asked.

"Seems like it. But it might take some time to get used to."

"You are able to un-equip your helmet at will. That is yours from this point on." So I get a free helmet?

"I don't think I'll be taking this off any time soon. Heh heh."

"You will find it much more useful than you think."

"Figures, knowing you."

Cray nods once, before turning back to the computer and tapping on it a few more times. The same process for the helmet happened, except it created a small gun.

"Is that the Subatomic Pistol Wasp I'll be using?" I asked.

"It is." Like the helmet, Cray passed the pistol to me. And like he said, there is no trigger for my forefinger. So if I think about firin-

POW

"Woah!" I did not expect it fire like that! The whole gun nearly flew out of my hand!

"Perhaps you should reduce the sensitivity of your helmet." For some reason, Cray seems to be calm about this. He's just looking in the direction of where the projectile went.

"Ok, how do I do that?"

"You will need the assistance of a computer. Pass me your helmet, I will do it for you." Cray told me.

I took off my helmet and gave it to him. I'm not sure what he's doing to 'reduce the sensitivity' of it.

After a moment, Cray passes me my helmet back.

"That should do." I hope so.

I put on my helmet again, it doesn't feel different. But anyway, if I think about firing, it should fire. Well, it did before, and I now know how powerful it is.

"When and where do I start practicing?"

Author's Note: Now that the first five chapters are done, I've decided to respond to your reviews from now on.

I have got 3 reviews so far.

Guest (Chapter 1): "Well, it's quite promising. Keep going!"

Rynowm: "Will do. I'm glad that this story's caught your interest."

Guest (Chapter 3): "Build, Drive, Fight! I like this story, since it DOES follow some moments of Robocraft gameplay. However, there are no humans in the motherships, they're SCUs (SuperComputer Units). The SCU you navigate in mothership
during thebuilding process is called Cray. Of course, these "male" and "female" SCU's can come from the cosmetic SCU customisation."

Rynowm: "Honestly, I completely forgot about the SCUs. You've merely reminded me about them, lol. At first, I intended for the grand-mothership to be populated entirely by humans, and maybe some cyborgs too, but as you reviewed about the SCUs, specifically Cray, you've actually changed how this story would've gone. Thanks.

And I hope you'll like the rest of my story as I publish more chapters."

Guest (Chapter 3): "Also, noclipping through the wall reminds me of Harry Potter (9 3/4 platform, acessable by noclipping wall between platforms 9 and 10)."

Rynowm: "I have seen the Harry Potter series, but noclipping through the 'door' wasn't inspired by that. I guess it's an unintended reference?"
