So to recap what happened so far: I became a fighter, met Lava, had a tour, got a garage with three vehicles, met Cray, and did some training in and out of a vehicle.

Quite a lot if you ask me. Not that it matters much.

Anyway, I'm in my bay with my mech. I think I should talk to Lava, since I haven't seen him since I started training. I move towards the left wall and walk through it.

As soon as I left my bay, the first thing I saw was a... a f-female fighter w-walking past.

I think I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I just stood there, s-staring at her. She's slightly taller than me, about an inch difference. She's wearing a th-thin layer of a-armour on her. I can't tell what h-her s-style is...

If there's one thing I know I'm bad at: Talking to girls.

She stops and turns her head to m-me. Uh oh. What do I do? What do I do!? I can't just stand here!

"Uh...h-hi." I hesitantly spoke.

She smiles at me. "Hi there, cutie." C-cutie!?"What's your name?"

"Um...O-O-Ozone?" Why can't I pull myself together!?

"Oooooh. Are you the newest fighter? Ozone Atom-Breaker?" Sh-she's leaning towards me! D-dangerously close to me!

I could only nod.

She g-giggles. "I sure hope to fight with you. I could do with another scout with me." Sh-she lowers h-her eyelids. Wh-while still looking into m-my eyes.

"A-are you a-asking m-me?" I can't speak now...

She only nods. Still r-really close to me, I-I think I can f-feel her b-breath.

"U-um...I-I g-g-guess?" T-trailing off there...

Sh-she giggles again. "Well, I hope to see you in a training room, I can teach you a few things about scouts."

"Uh..."

Sh-she leans back to her normal posture. "He he, I'll meet you there, Ozone."

And before I knew it, sh-she walks off. And I don't even know who she was...

What in the world just happened?

Bay 01, the one with my car-like vehicle. I'm just lying on top of it, facing upwards towards the ceiling.

It's been about half an hour since I met that girl. I just...I just don't know what to do now. For all I know, she is going to be stalking me or something for a while.

For all my life, I wasn't very sociable. I didn't really talk to many people outside of my family.

It was only a couple months prior to becoming a fighter, I started to 'break out of my shell' or something. I got a bit of confidence to talk to a small group of people and attempt to make friends.

Turns out that it was a group of about three couples. The girls there made a lot of fun of me. Saying that I was lonely, a loser, a muck, and other insults.

I've been uncomfortable around girls ever since.

And now, I have a girl who is most likely going to be with me for a good while. Just like Lava and, probably, Cray.

I think she expects me to be good as a scout, and to m-meet her at the barracks or something.

Wow,I'm still stuttering, even now.

But I guess I should go and train on being a scout, or learn how to make a good scout vehicle.

But if I'm training, I think it would be a better idea if Cray was with me, than that girl.

But the problem is: I don't know how to contact Cray, or Lava for that matter. And that girl might be waiting for me.

I guess I don't have a choice on who will be my 'teacher'. And I feel like I'm under a lot of pressure, just because of her.

Please help...

Auther's note: Poor Ozone, got himself in a pickle, just because of what happened in the past. He could've easily talked himself out of it by saying "Nah, I'm not interested.". Well, no turning back, let's see how he handles the upcoming training...

I have a BIG review to respond to:

Guest (Chapter 7): "Another awesome chapter? Feels good, man. By the way, I'm also writing a Robocraft fanfic now ("Megabot, I choose you"!, and yes, this is crossover fic with the Pokemon), and I came up with the pretty much same idea (mind uploading
/into bot, only on bigger scale - minds of pilots are uploaded to motherships and can be uploaded from them to robots or SCU platforms, all processes running at all platforms at the same time, so pilot's mind can survive bot's, SCU's or even a mothersip's
/destruction). Looks like we think alike! Also, about meta-bots - if you decide to introduce them, I hope you'll mention such a technics as a triforcing, turtle-plating, chimera chassis and others."

Rynowm: "Good luck on 'Megabot, I choose you!', despite me not being a big fan of Pokemon, but I do miss them megabots. Anyway, thank you, 'person-who-keeps-their-name-unknown'. But Ozone didn't actually upload his mind into the mech, instead, he actually uploaded his entire body into it.

Think of it like a possessor of sorts taking the body of someone else, and controlling them from inside. That's what Ozone was doing to the mech.

What happens if the vehicle is destroyed? The fighter inside will just be 'ejected' out immediately.

I suppose we do think alike. Honestly, that's kinda creepy, if you ask me..."
