Fear, that's what I feel right now. If only I didn't open that Email, I won't be in this situation.
Now you might be wondering, what did I do to get this kind of situation, right? Did I stole something valuable or maybe pissed someone? Nope!
I'm inside a Van, sitting between the two-big body builder man wearing a black suit like from C.I.A or F.B.I though that's not what made me afraid rather the guy in front of me are much more scarier than the one beside me. Staring as if sees your soul.
Now you get why I'm afraid. You're asking, how did I get into this situation, right? Well it all began last night.
..
- Late Night, Bedroom-
My Name is Hancock Smith. A Normal High-school Student lived in California. I'm a 6-foot 4 tall, dark-brown color skin tone and my looks are nothing special except the burned scar that cover half of my face. (Normal Right? And try ignoring the scar.)
Right now I'm inside my bedroom, spinning around my chair while anxiously waiting for any reviews or likes on my fanfiction that I recently post yesterday.
Ping!
The moment I hear that sound, I sit back to my chair front of my desk while hoping to get something from my laptop. I was feeling excited expecting reviews or likes to my story, unfortunately it wasn't. My face become frown since it was from my E-mail instead my Fanfiction Account. "Che… was expecting from Fanfiction instead the Email." as I swore, I click the E-mail. While browsing, I saw a familiar Company Name that I never expect to see inside my inbox, Bethesda.
The dopamine inside my brain starts gear up the moment I saw the famous Bethesda Game Company sending a message to me out of nowhere. I click as fast as I can to read the content of the message, and it stated.
[Dear Hancock,
Congrats! You received a special invitation from us. We are inviting you to be our first special guest to try our new Pip-boy 2017 Mk 1 prototype. Send us a reply if you are accepting this invite.
Warning: Do not copy or share this message to anyone else. If you did, you and the person you shared will be terminated.]
As I read the content, I already make a reply message. Getting invited by Bethesda, the Game Company created Fallout series that I loved is something I should be blissfulness. Though the Warning does make me hesitate but hey this is once a life time for me. The moment I click Send *CRASH* suddenly some sort Tin Can smash from my bedroom window, which surprise me and cause me to jump from my chair.
My Instinct telling to back away from that thing but as they say "Curiosity killed the cat". The moment I try to examined it, white smoke spewing out from the thing, causing me to cough and lose my conscious afterward.
-Present, Unknown Location-
Yup, I have been kidnapped. The message was a hoax, and now I'm definitely dead man. Sighing in disappointment, I try relaxing my body as I preparing what I'm going to do. Then I look the man in front of me and asked him.
"Hey, I got a question. Are you guys from Bethesda?"
The man in black raises his brow from my question. Soon, his hand reaches toward his coat and pulled out a 9mm Handgun from his coat and said.
"Yes young man, we're from Bethesda" he confirmed.
Bethesda my ass! I said in my thoughts. I gulped and retreat myself against the car seat and look down between my feet and said. "boi…."
When I am looking the front of the windshield, I noticed we are entering a tunnel. As I turn around to ask something, they suddenly blindfold me as my view becomes dark. They pull me up me out from the van as it stop and start dragging me to somewhere.
-Unknown Location, Unknown Facility-
They unblindfolded me, though my vision are blur as light dazzled through my eyes which I'm trying to adjust. Soon my vision became clear, although I didn't expect to see an Old Men in front of me. He is sitting on an expensive chair while drinking some tea.
"Hello there, Welcome to My Facility." the old man said. While I look my surrounding and I saw several armed guards beside and behind me. In this situation it can be described as, Your Fuck!.
Right I need to calm down and thing what I possible can do to stay alive. Firstly, Escaping; definitely out of question right now since I'm unarmed and my speed isn't that fast to evade been capture much less evading a bullet. Second, Surrender; though it might be the safest right now, there might a chance they kill me or worst experiment me.
… I hate my life. As I though myself, I already made the decision.
"You guys are definitely from not Bethesda. Hell! The Email are definitely a hoax." I said. "But the real question is what do you want from me?"
The old man chuckle, he put down his tea and start walking towards me.
"Yes, We're not from Bethesda, but we're didn't lie about the content." I look at him with that damn smug face as he speak, "Please forgive us for this unpleasant situation. We are doing this so our secrecy are safe. Nevertheless we will do our best to your experience to be enjoyment and memorable. As long you COOPERATE with us, you will be fine."
He walks away from me and head to the wall and press some switch that open a secret door.
"Come, we going to change your clothes before our test begins." I can only sighed in defeat, knowing that I am powerless in this situation since there is now way I can decline. So against my will, I follow him without any complains.
-Locker Room, Unknown Facility-
He went to the Locker Room and opens a locker that shown a two-unique gear hanging inside it. He explain, "The one on the left is a [Lone Wanderer Jumpsuit], and the other one is a [NCR Vetera-"
"I will be choosing the [NCR Veteran Ranger], Please!" I interrupted him before he can finished his sentence. The old man only responds in smile and said. "No Hesitation, Eh."
While I'm in the middle of wearing the [NCR Veteran Ranger] gear, I ask the Old Man for the reason why they letting me wear it.
His respond isn't what I want though, "Well, we are just making sure our guest are happy and satisfied of our serviced. Also this will make our Test Sub- ah I mean [Special Guest] to familiarize during the examination, also it make cooperate much easier. Nevertheless just think of it as a Gift from us."
Familiarize My Ass! They basically given me a Well-made [NCR Veteran Ranger] Armor just so I could start comfortable around them. Though to be honest, I starting to liking them right now. Don't get wrong since I only liking them because of the Armor. Especially I able to wear it as it one of my Wish List. So Right now I'm quite happy, despite the Bad situation I'm currently in. Haha… I think I'm crazy right now.
After I set up my [NCR Duster Coat] and put on the helmet, I nod to the Old Bastard stating I'm Ready. He simply smile and open another hidden door. He order me to step in, as I enter all I see white tiles, walls and a huge brown case on top of the table.
Suddenly a squeak of a speaker echoed across the room which irritated me since it hurt my ears for awhile.
"Now Ranger, let us begin the test. Follow our instruction if you don't want yourself to get hurt." As he given the instruction, I must abide less I want get myself killed. "Walk towards the table. Open the case and wear it on your arm."
I followed as instruct, as I open the Case it reveal a [PiP-Boy]. "Holy Shit! Those guys aren't playing around!" I muttered in surprised and excitement. I wear it on my left arm with no hesitation and wait for the effect.
Then a seizure kicks in, causing me to scream agonizingly; "AAARRRGHHHHH! GODDAMIT!" The pain feels like a thousand knife just pierce on to my brain which made me feel powerless and weak.
After the agonizing experience, a Digitize Word start to pop up on my HUD View.
[Welcome to PIP-BOY 2017 MK 1]
[Adjusting to New User]
[Adjustment Complete]
[All Options are Ready to Use]
"All right, looking good. Proceed to next Room, Ranger." Speaker said. LOOKING GOOD!? I ALMOST DIED THERE. I scream in my thoughts. I want to complain and curse those people for all I went through but doing so will cause me problem and lead me to Death. So against my wish, I follow their instruction.
As I enter the Next Room, what I saw was a Wide [Shooting Ground] and a Rifle with two pistol on the top table.
The Rifle looks like a [Holorifle] and the two pistol seem to be a mini version of it. Is this a real weapon? Are they going to make use a Real Lethal Weapon? Before I can even protest, the voice speaker interrupts me.
"Before you going ask something, the Weapon are non-lethal. It's just a prototype, so don't worry if it ricocheted and accidentally hit you. The effect are like been tased which is two or three time then normal [Tazer] but don't worry since it won't kill you. Either way just use the gun and shoot the Target Dummies."
"Those asshole..." I grumbled as I picked up the rifle and turn off the safety switch. I adjust the rifle and trying to aim, then trigger. Surprisingly it doesn't recoil instead a blue light beam shot out from the muzzle of the rifle. The light beam travel and heats the chest of target dummy only leaving a trace of bruise from it.
"My, this quite surprising. The last time we fired it, the blew up the user face. Glad the rifle are stable this time~ Such Adjustment~ Now we probably able create Lethal Type~ HAHAHA~"
the old men comment.
"You do know I can hear you, now it make me more nervous." muttering with a hint of worried.
"Now pick both pistol and use [V.A.T.S] before shooting." as they told me while ignoring my nervousness.
Three dummies run towards me. Suddenly my body react itself as if my own instinct, I lift both pistol while press the [V.A.T.S] button. My jaw drop as I witness time moving slow in my view. Instinctively I select all three target and mentally select the Execute button.
*gasp*
That was intense, I didn't know I could move like that. But to think they make something like this is quite unbelievable...
PING!
Then after a sudden ping sound, Digitized word appear on my left vision.
[Achievement Unlock]
[Bang! Bang! Pow! Hit them in Speed of Light]
60xp gained
Reward: 2x Stimpack
Huh? What happened? before I able to ask question, they interrupt me again... "Good~ Good~ Now try to digitize them from your [PIP-Boy]."
I did as instruct, I point my hand at all three weapon and try concentrated. Suddenly the weapon are actually digitizing and been absorb to my inventory. I notice my [PIP-Boy] spark a bit, though I ignore it as I continue the test instead.
"All Right then! What next?" I excitedly ask them.
"For the next one, I want you select your map on the HUB. From there select the Auto location and click the [Fast Travel], just select YES."
I did as they told. The moment I press YES, I was expecting something to happened but instead nothing happens
"um… Guys? Its not worki-" Before I managed to complete my sentence, static appear on my [PIP-Boy] then suddenly my body become weak and heavy. Moment after I fell to the ground as if been step by heavy object. I was going to ask help but as I turn, I see a big black sphere shape absorbing my feet. As darkness consumes me, my conscious start fading away.
-Monitoring Room. Old man P.O.V-
After the fast travel failure, panic rise and spread with in the room. Our systems are going haywire because of the unknown energy that boy created. Now my top researchers are trying to resurrect the system while trying to track that brat!
"WHAT HAPPENED?! TELL ME WHERE IS THE BOY NOW!" I shout in frustration.
"Sir, we can't track him and the signal are lose." replied by one of the researcher.
"THEN DON'T LOSE HIM DAMN IT!" I shout back.
After a few minutes of panic, our signal went online and the terminal is back to normal as quiet follow through the room.
"Now, Where is he?" I ask.
"Sir, we lost him..."
"We can't pin out his location and his Vital Scan went offline too."
"All we can say is either his died, transfer in another world or worse trap between space and time for eternity." The head of researcher was tremble in fear while replied to me.
I went quiet and grief for his death. We may be harsh but we really do care our test subject safety, we always make sure our test subject are safe and protected before we test them.
There a reason why I gave him those gear as they are good protection against prototype rifle but nevertheless we unable prevent his fate. I made the decision and stated.
"All Right! Listen Up Everyone! Test Subject: [Hancock Smith] are presumed dead. His death won't be in vain, We will remember and honor the sacrificing he had made for the Sake of [Human Advancement]. Thus gather any information we got and proceed on making [PIP-BOY 2018 Mk 2 project]."
-Gensokyo, Misty Lake. Yukari P.O.V -
On the middle of sunny day in Gensokyo. There stood a blond hair woman hovering on the gap above the lake. She is currently observing the inhabitant with an expression of boredom on her face.
She had a long golden blond hair passes through her shoulder with ribbons design on it and wear a white mop hat with thin red ribbon attach in front of it. her dress is like a Japanese and Chinese like combination with color of pale pink and purple. She is carrying an open pale pink parasol rest over on her shoulder. Lastly, her looks are very gorgeous and beautiful. Even a word beautiful is not enough to describe her elegance. The only person that befitting with this description is the youkai sage herself. [Yukari Yakumo]
I yawned while observing the inhabitants of Gensokyo. Truthfully I was hoping to get something to entertain or interest me but everything is normal.
"I'm bored~" I muttered in sluggish manner. "Everything look normal, Nothing interesting happened at all…. I care who nor why but at least give me something interesting to do~ "
Then suddenly an Unknown energy interrupt my border. I search for the source of unknown energy and what I find was a Dark Sphere floating above the lake near from my position.
Not what I have in mind but I take it~
As I was about to investigate it, the Sphere fades away and reveal a man.
This stop me for a second before realizing he was falling in mid air. Whoops~~ Almost forgot there~~
I enter to my gap then reappear near the unconscious man and catch him. Surprisingly, he was very light for a man. I re-enter my gap and appear at shore. I carried him out in bridal style and place him down gently on the ground while observing him.
Now for the little fish
The human male had a helmet with a fearsome mask while its eye lens glowing in red and he wear a brown scarf around his neck. As for the body part, he had a brown duster coat while the under is steel chest plate and a military pants for lower part. From my observation, he is an outsider somehow belong to some military branch I guess. A soldier maybe?
Now what to do with him….. Interrogate him and kindly ask how he able to break through my borders?
…..
Nay~ That will immediately spoil the fun part~
I will get the answer one way or another anyway. Letting him roaming freely and do his own stuff are much exciting then knowing them. Plus, I know he will be great entertainment for me or pawn for future use.
Fufufufufu~~~
I was excited and curious how he will survived and interact with the locals. Speaking of local, I didn't see his face. I wonder what he look like under that mask?
Taking a peek wouldn't hurt~
My hand soon reach the man mask, so I can take off his mask and see what he looks like. Suddenly the man grabs my wrist which made me yelp which I let my guard down for a while.
"Please… don't leave me... I …*snore*" the man stated before return to his sleep.
I sighed, glad he just having nightmare then went back to sleep instead. That means he didn't see his savior face, fortunately my identity still safe and still secrecy from him for the while.
Though he probably going wake up soon, I need to leave before he awake.
I retreat back my wrist from his hand, then I stood up and enter my gap which I created a while ago.
From there I watch the human from my gap. Observing and waiting for my Potential Entertainer to wake up.
To be continued~
