"Stupid... Gah! I don't even know what to call him! He wasn't a merchant, nor did he look like he was that important to a show or movie!" I yelled in frustration as I grabbed my head and dug my fingers into it. Not too hard that it would hurt much, just enough to make sure I felt the pressure. "And to top it all off, I'm in the middle of NOWHERE!" My voice echoed. "And there are no rocks to guide me with their moss, or rocks that I can drive in the same way the pioneers did!"
I looked around, still noticing I was stuck in the middle of what seemed to be Nowhere Kansas. All that was missing was a pink dog with bad teeth screaming. Seriously though, there was nothing here. No mountains, no ravines, no water, no civilization! I've been walking for about a hour now, and still haven't seen anything. I just woke up here, and the last thing I remember was some guy at the comic con taking my picture. The reason he wanted to take my picture was because I was wearing a costume that looked like a very realistic version of of the Vault Boy from Fallout. I even have a fake Pip-Boy 3000A which I based off of the one given to the Courier by Doc Mitchell.
"I wish I had some water." I said, longing in my voice, before I felt something in my hand. I lifted my hand to see a bottle with a label that said 'H2O' on it. "Is that..." Before I can finish speaking, some small floating words shows up, that clearly said 'Purified Water.' "Where did this come from?" I moved my tongue around my mouth, feeling how parched I am, before deciding to take the risk, and opening the bottle, before gulping it down, finishing it off in a few sips. Wiping the remaining water off my chin, I noticed the bottle disappeared. "Was it just a hallucination?" Feeling around my mouth again, I noticed that I felt like my thirst was parched. "Maybe I'm going crazy, and will die of heatstroke soon."
Seeing nothing better to do, I kept on walking across this desolate wasteland, before stopping in my tracks when I heard a cracking sound. I quickly looked around me, and didn't see anything so I kept walking, but this time at a faster pace. I heard the cracking sounds again, but this time much louder, and coming from above me. No wait... I'm falling. I start yelling, as I fell down a dark chasm, before landing on the ground, and on my feet, where I heard a sickening crunch coming from both my legs. I whimpered in pain, as I fell to my back, and quickly grabbed my legs, trying to make the pain stop. "Yep, definitely broke my legs." I muttered, as the pain started dulling down. "Wish I had a stimpak or something." Just like before, I felt a weight on my hand, and I looked over to see a familiar needle in my hand. Instantly realizing what I had to do, I took the needle, and jabbed it into my right leg, and felt a soothing sensation, before my leg cracked back into place. "This has to be some sort of weird delusion. Maybe I'm in a coma. I'm definitely not dreaming though." I muttered to myself, as I was about to try and figure out how to get another stimpak, before I heard voices.
"It came from this way." One voice echoed across the cave.
"Are you sure it's safe? What if there's a cave-in?" Another voice spoke.
'Crap! Gotta get up. I hope they're human... wait, I hope they're good humans, but I'm not taking chances.' As I started to stand up, a large rock that was trying to balance on top of another decided to fall, and land right on my left leg, preventing me from getting up as my leg was now trapped. 'Do I have low luck or something?' Right after I thought that, a crazy idea popped up in my head. I pulled up my left wrist, and looked at my Pip-Boy, which earlier I noticed was glowing in a strange way. A menu that showed the 'Special' skills was the one that was shown, and it looked like my luck was in fact only one point. Strength was 5, Perception was 3, Endurance was 4, Charisma was 7, Intelligence was 5, and Agility was (surprisingly) 8. 'Seems that I have a fully functional Pip-Boy as well.' Hearing the voices come closer, I shook my head, put down my arm. Deciding to take my chances with whoever the voices are, I spoke out.
"Hello? Can anyone hear me? I've fallen and I can't get up." My mouth was left open in surprise as the other voice spoke up. It sounded partially far away, and it sounded like the two voices were heading to it.
"Wait! Come back! Help!" I yelled, hoping to get their attention, but it was too late, as they could no longer hear me. "Crap!" I yelled, smacking my hand against a rock, breaking my hand. I sighed, as I clutched my newly broken left hand. "Well, if there is anytime to figure out how to spawn stuff, it's now. I remember I distinctly said 'I wish I had a stimpak or something.' and one appeared." I looked at both my hands, and nothing was there. Closing my eyes, I decided to say it again. "I wish I had a stimpak." I felt a weight on my hand, and I opened my eyes to see a stimpak. "Yes!" I jabbed it into my broken hand, and watched as it quickly healed. Clenching and unclenching my fist, I looked down at the boulder on top of my leg. "Now, how to move you?" Snapping my fingers, I decided to try something. "Ant Nectar." The chem appeared in my hand, and I quickly ate it, before I felt myself become stronger, but also stupider. I pulled back my fist, and punched the rock on top of my leg, which surprisingly caused it to break into smaller parts, but also caused my hand to be sore. "Stimpak." I jabbed the needle into my leg, quickly repairing it, before standing up.
As I looked around, I tried to figure out the best way to leave this cave. There were many different tunnels to go through, and I had no idea which way to go. "Great. No idea what to do now! Might as well go down them randomly!" I started walking towards the nearest one, and stopped when I heard some familiar sounds, and I looked closer into the tunnel, only to come face to face with five giant orange ants. "Fire ants!" I yelled in fear, as I started to run away, down another tunnel.
I ran as fast as my legs could take me, jumping over rocks, and sliding under stalactites. After running for a minute, I came across a large cavern, that had several things that looked like they were buildings, except for the fact that the entire place looks like a hive. But the scariest thing was that screams of pain and explosions of green were coming from the city. 'They're being attacked too!' I was about to run over and see if I could help, but at that time, one of the Fire ants bit my leg, and I felt my leg on fire, before I fell down.
I managed to flip over, and I saw the five Fire ants coming up to me, clicking their mandibles as they prepared to finish me off. 'If stimpaks work, than maybe this will too.' "COMBAT SHOTGUN!" I yelled, and the gun appeared in my hands, which I quickly pointed at the nearest Fire ant, before everything stopped. Concentrating, I used the VATS to aim one shot at each of the Fire ants' head. After aiming, five shots rang out, and the Fire ants all fell down dead. Except for the one who was turned into meat chunks. I slowly got up, before grabbing my knees, and breathed heavily. "That actually worked?" I flinched when my hand gently touched the wound on my leg. "Stimpak." I jabbed it into my leg, and watched as the wound quickly closed up.
Picking up my shotgun, I turned to the city, which was still fighting. Sighing, I started running towards the city, plans going through my head.
