“From where you’re kneeling it must look like an 18 karat tun of bad luck. Truth is ... the game was rigged from the start.” -Benny

I awoke with a huge amount of back pain as I got up holding the back of my head as I slowly gave a growl of pain.

"Did I fall off my bed?" I open my eyes to be meet with darkness.

sighing I reached for the light switch.

'Is it still night? Wait whats with the carpet!'

Instead of feeling rug I felt rock and stone under my hands as I got up looking around me, before I could say more something on my arm gave off a green light. Looking at my arm I was blinded by a low green light that caused me to close my eyes slight as my eyes adjusted to the light as I saw what was before me.

My pipboy was GLOWING!

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD!!!" The dim green light reviled a walking vault boy on the screen for the stats page.

'Ok calm down breathe. Find out where the bloody blazes you are,' I then lifted my pipboy at the dark stone room to find out it was some kind of cave.

I had no idea where I was or how my pip-boy was really working but it was, that didn't matter I need to find out where the hell I was! It took me a moment for me to switch to my Map on the pip-boy because I had to manually switch to it which wasn't that hard to do.

Nothing, my pip-boy couldn't mark where I was as it read 'Sorry can not connect with Robco satellites please try again later'.

'Damn,'

I placed a hand onto my chin as I looked down the cave before picking a direction and going that way as I looked thought my pip-boy.

'Interesting now how do I-'

Just then I was blinded by a bright light causing me to cover my eyes from the sudden light as I walked out of the cave slowly as my eyes adjusted to the light.

'Whoa,'

Lowing my arm I saw a lush green forest before me not a wasteland which wasn't was not what I was expecting...Hey who cares right I have a pip-boy and shit. Looking around at the forest I scratched my head it was a green sea with no end which I cursed at the never ending green ocean, I was hoping to find someone. Before I could do anything else I felt my pip-boy shock my arm causing me to grab it in pain as my eyes blurred for a moment before returning clear.

"THE FUCK WAS THAT-!"

I then saw it...well I really can un-see it for it followed my eyes, I had the fallout 4 HUD that was on my vision which was cool and scary at the same time. Blinking a few times I looked at my hands before giving a grin.

'This will be helpful,'

Climbing down from the cave and into the forest I headed north with my hands in my pockets as I looked around at the trees thinking about what they are so I could find out where I was.

'They looking like Pine trees but at the same time Oak are they-'

"Swwwwwwweeeeeeeeetttttiiiiiiieeeee beeeellllll!" I turned to the voice.

'Is their someone here GREAT I can now find out where the bloody blazes I am,'

I ran though the forest in the voice direction.

"Sweetie bell this isn't funny," The voice though was almost...familiar.

Valeting over a log closer to the voice.

"Guys where are you!" Yeah I heard it before but where.

Going past a tree and into a area where the voice was to see...
no...

Button mash?

The kid didn't noticed me as I stopped in my tracks at the sight of the anthro pony as he yelled for his friends again.

'Must be lost like me,'

Taking a deep breath I pulled up my hood (not to scare him of course) then I spoke.

"Hey kid you lost,"

The gamer turned to me and gave a sigh of relief at the slight of another person...er...pony sorry.

"Ah thank the princess someone else. Hey their mister can you help me I seemed to be lost," Button mash asked cause me to freeze in place.

"Um...mister?"

I rubbed the back of my neck.

"Yeah about that kid I'm lost as well," This cause him to pale as he fell down.

"Why me...first sweetie bell told me to come with her friends to help them with something then they ditch me in the evergreen forest lost!" He hugged his legs to his chest almost about to cry.

Not really knowing what to do I sat down next to him as he tried his best not to cry.

"Um you alright kid?" I asked.

"Oh yeah sorry mister I'm just..."

"Sad?" I subjected causing him to nod.

I placed a hand on shoulder.

"Its OK to be sad when your lost its not your fault kiddo whats your name?" I asked.

"Button mash whats yours mister,"

With my hand on my darken face I then snapped my fingers as I turn to him with a smile.

"Jack...Jack Mercer its nice to meet you Button,"

He smiled and gave a nod.

"You too Mr. Mercer,"

Mentally I laughed at the last name I gave myself, of course it wasn't my real name but hey my dad called me Jack even though it wasn't the one my mom gave me.

"Alright kiddo now how about we find out how to get out this place?" I told him.

"But Sir I already tried retracing my steps but I wound up going in circles," He informed me.

"I got a campus do you know what direction you home is," I asked he then lit up.

"Yeah ponyville should be north of the everfree!" He said with a smile.

We both got up and I turned north with my pip-boy campus and began to walk north as Button mash began to inspect me.

"Mr. Mercer can I ask something?" The young pony asked.

"Please call me Jack but yes you can,"

"Um...whats that thing on your arm is it some kind of video game?" This caused me to chuckle slightly.

"This old thing no its my Pip-boy it helps me be organized and it does play games," Button mush stared at the device.

"What kind of games,"

"Ones that I want to play Tapper, Red menace, and other kinds," I informed the young man.

"Whoa I never heard of those before," He told me.

I tapped on my pip-boy with a grin.

"Yeah they were made just for this puppy,"

"CAN I PLAY!" He said reaching for my arm.

"Sorry not now but- Hey look a clearing!" I stated He turn to were I pointed to as he lit up and ran froward as I followed shortly behind him.

As we made it to the clearing I saw it a village full of ponies and I connected the dots.

'Ponyville,'

I stopped before the clearing as button mash cheered happy as I began to slowly walk back into the forest.

"Later kiddo,"

Gently I walked into the everfree with my hands in my pockets, I then hear Button call out for me but I did turn back, and I knew ponies where extremely xenophobic they would try to kill me, lock me up, or even run away from me.

(about a hour later)

After wandering for a bit I found a clearing that seemed like a good place to set up 'CAMP' Heh heh heh...

Its funny...

Going to my pip-boy I selected my CAMP as the metal device appeared before me and unfolded as the area around it held a green ring that covered the entire small clearing and most of the trees. My HUD had changed as well to construction mode from fallout 4, knowing what to do I began to break the trees, stone, and other restores down for my CAMP to make myself a small encampment.

Smiling at my junk I rolled up my jacket's sleeves and got to work on building myself a little shack.

(2 hours of trial and error I know another time skip sue me)

YES DID IT!

'Though not the best but it works,'

Taking a few steps back at the small wooden shack with concrete walls and supports that sat in the middle of the clearing with a few small devices around the hut. First was the three junk harvesters that had been converted into a metal harvester, it used a drill to dig into the ground to find any raw metals to be used. Next were the water collectors that collect well water, both from the ground and any that come from rain to be cleaned into drinkable water. Finally were the flood lights and search lights to wear off unwanted guests, but if they get too close to my shack I had two Mark II turrets one on top of my house and the other on the back.

Besides that inside the hut was a three x three plate house, The entrance had a metal door that had a dead bolt and a bar if need if the normal lock wasn't enough, the left side when you entered had every workstation a wastelander need. Gun bench, Armor bench, chem station, cooking station, Robot workstation, Power armor work station, and a custom research station so I could unlock blueprints for other ideas to make into reality.

The right part of the shack were living courtiers with a vault bed from the fallout 3 and New Vegas games with a auto doc mark 1 at the foot of the bed in a folded state. I made it just in case if I get so hurt that it was going to take more than the healthy amount of stimpacks I didn't want to get stimpack sickness. Also to add that was a rad cleaning station that acted like a shower to keep myself clean, also I add a book shelf, steam trunks, comic stand, and some other day to day idems. My entire shack was powered by three windmills that were outside and a medium that had its C02 port acting as my chimney that gave black smoke.

You see I was limited on what I could build right now, like I couldn't make a power armor frame with hellfire power armor, no I was going to need to work for it. Though I could build a power armor frame I just need more metal to do so and I was going to make fusion cores to power the darn thing lucky I could make those as well but again not enough stuff. But I was able to make a auto-pipe rifle so I didn't just have my pistol to defend myself with ammo to go for it and I made my own Vault 111 jumpsuit with heavy leather shoulder guard on my right and left along with metal bracers, boots, and chest plate that hid under my suit. I add lead for radiation protection hey I had to be prepared for anything mates, Along with that I made a Camo bandanna that was wrapped around my neck, lastly was was a pair of goggles on my head for working.

I had become a true wastelander!

Which begs the question, what is a wastelander to do?

Gather resources and survive!

*LEVEL UP!*

*New perks gained!*
