AN: In an attempt to alternate the original timeline and change a certain character, Yuuki Rito will be different along with humanity who will also change their title as Earthlings into a more suitable one. Here earth is given more time to grow before even Lala crashed into Rito's bath-tub where he is also different from canon.

The story basically will be focused around Rito like any other stories in this section, the twist of humans being a little bit more diverse and advance is just an added merit, I have plans for the cute couple along with OC's that I will pair to certain characters.

NO REAPER, NO MASS RELAYS, NO PROTHEANS, NO M.E. RACES AND VERY RARE CAMEOS FOR MASS EFFECT CANON CHARACTERS. NOT INTERESTED? I'M SORRY. THIS IS JUST A TEST FIC FOR ME AND I DON'T EXPECT PEOPLE TO LIKE IT.

Also, since this is a test story, chances will be about 500 words per chapter not counting the codex.

WARNING: This story contains wrong spelling, mistyping, grammatical errors, complicated explanations, cursing, verbal abuse, and eventually lemons.

Chapter 1: First Contact

In the year 2101, it was decades of tireless work for the world's government progressing towards the form of unity into humanity as one, bloodless efforts and operations have been conducted, all desperate to follow the long process of unifying the world under one banner and it finally paid off. Earth's peace was finally achieved.

With all obstacles in earth broken through, they turned to the stars and with it, new challenges have been found, for humanity always love the challenge then only to eventually break through them and repeat the process over and over again. They established their first permanent colony and independent settlement on Luna and began extracting Helium-3 that is to be used for Alliance-designed starships as fuel.

Then the Golden Age for Humanity have dawned, the discovery of Element Zero and then soon after, the invention of Humanities very own FTL method. This accelerated and improved humanities expansion into the galactic stage. Planets we're heavily mined and colonized, hundreds of mining operations we're being directed to Saturn and Jupiter as mining corporations eagerly seek to financially support the Alliance with H-3 Fuel, other valuable gasses and rare earth metals.

Orbital Stations and Starship factories we're built in earth's orbit where the Alliance could finally mass produce proper starships, for military and civilians alike. Colonies we're improved and established all over Solar System. Factories and Mining Stations we're established also in asteroid belts, all ready to grab floating treasures of resources from thousands of floating space rocks.

Despite having more than enough living space, Humanity wanted to expand more and with the all the efforts put onto effect, they did. Soon colonies we're established outside the Sol System and this gave birth to the Systems Alliance.

The Red Planet, Mars became the furnace for war materials, the planet is the industrial behemoth and center of steel power for the Systems Alliance Military. Upon Hundreds and Hundreds Orbital Defense Platforms and Starships Factories surrounded the red planet.

Skyscrapers we're now common, farming doctrines are now better, non-employed is non-existent, life was so peaceful. What could an Alliance Citizen or specifically, what could a Human want more with all the paths available for his bidding.

Then came the year 2129, the year that dawned a new era for humanity, and it all started in the still developing colony of Shanxi.

Shanxi

Anderson, captain of the Alliance Cruiser SSV Cairo sighed tiredly for the hundredth time in his ships patrol in the system along with Cairo's escort of four frigates. Truthfully, despite being the most boring job for the navy, it has own merits like a good job of killing time. At least being in the Systems Alliance Navy would give one a meaningful life, exploring new worlds then defend it in the end if claimed.

Currently, his flotilla is deployed in the nearby planet of Shanxi, a phase-two developing Alliance Colony, this also included protecting the newly built Stargate in the corner part of the star system.

This colony would be the last and farthest settlement of the Alliance for centuries to come. Humanity had more than enough space to live in, even if they didn't leave the Sol System. But the feeling to expand and seek out new challenges we're never gone for it was human nature.

"Sir, probe Z4-A is detecting massive unidentified IFF readings" one of the officer said in his station reported.

Anderson perked at this, these occasions rarely happen and last time he checked, no terrorist ever existed since the birth of the Alliance.

AMC or Alliance Mining Corporation being the only prominent and richest commercial empire is always and only loyal to the Alliance since it's where they mostly can fill their pockets but corporate private ships can't venture out this, even its just mining solo.

"Anomaly? Are there any corporate ships in this system?"

"None registered for today sir and it's not Alliance reading"

"That's rare, relay our escorts to guard our rear and move to intercept anomaly"

"Aye sir"

Soon the Cairo along with her escorts arrived where the anomaly was located, 30000km away from it but still in sensor range.

"James, I want an update in the situation" Anderson asked his comms officer.

"I'm detecting one vessel sir and it is not Alliance signal"

"Do we have visual on the vessel?"

"I have picture" One of the officer said before an alien-looking ship appeared in front of Anderson. Staring intently at the holographic monitor that showed the ship, it was indeed alien to him and pretty much everyone present, unlike Alliance ships that has triangular angle architecture, this one was built in graceful curves, like the bullet-shaped ships from retro sci-fi games and surprisingly, it was silver and black colored. Anderson was smart enough that this not some Cerberus prototype since they keep their researches in great secrecy despite their act of trust in the Alliance.

"Captain, we are reading visible damages on the ship though their engines seem to be still operational. IFF Signal unconfirmed and scanners do not seem to recognize the ship with any current Alliance or Cerberus starships. Requesting to initiate First Contact Protocol"

"Granted, have our escorts move to our rear flank. Charge weapons to 50 percent. All crew, assume to your stations immediately, First Contact Protocol is in effect, this is not a drill, I repeat this not a drill"

"Uh sir…May I speak freely?" another officer asked wanting to gain Andersons attention.

"Go ahead lieutenant" Anderson acknowledged.

"Sir, their cyber-defense is extremely pathetic. I already have accessed into their systems and downloaded every data available in that ship without even being noticed" Anderson raised his eyebrows at this report. He knew their abilities in electronic warfare but…just like that?!

"Is that so? Well, please entertain me"

"Well sir, there's a lot of it so It'll take time for us to insert this to the Codex"

"How about physical structure, culture or government structure?"

"I'll have it on screen sir"

Facing the multiple holographic screens at the center, the entire bridge soon fell silent at the image in front of them. The image showed pink skinned aliens with devilish black tails. The aliens called themselves Devilukean and in extension, the Devilukean Empire, which they seem to proclaim as the galaxy-scale form of galactic government or center of galactic control which is a coalition of races who participated what seems to be called the Unification Wars who now shares the Milky Way with the Devilukean Empire being the spearhead. What's surprising really was they look human! And according to the data uncovered from the ship, they speak Japanese which seems to be there universal language.

'Attractive Devil Aliens…Who would've thought?" We're everyone's thoughts including Anderson himself. Truth be told, every male and even bi-females in the ship wouldn't mind spending a night with a Devilukean hottie.

Snapping out from his trance, Anderson said.

"Can we establish communication?"

"Yes sir but voice only, shouldn't we send a first contact package first?"

"Well, assuming that they look alike like us and speak one of our earth-languages, I find it the least thing to do" In Captain Hackett's opinion at least.

"Aye sir, Establishing channel…You're up captain"

"Unidentified Vessel, This is Captain Anderson of the SSV Cairo, you are entering sovereign territory claimed by the Systems Alliance. In behalf of Humanity I welcome you in peace, should you respond through violent actions, we will respond accordingly." Sternly yet neutrally said Anderson through a translator that was sent to the Devilukean Ship. After a moment tensing silence, the alien ship responded where the entire flotilla heard it.

"Greetings Captain Anderson of the Systems Alliance, I am Gastrom Siltan, captain of the Devilukean Cargo Vessel. I am currently outrunning the Gildanean Pirates, I sincerely hope that I haven't violated any law of this Alliance of what you speak" The devilukean said with perfect Japanese with the accent so Japanese.

"Worry not Sir Gastrom, you haven't violated any so far. I believe this is the first time we encountered extra-terrestrial life such as you."

"Yes definitely captain, I too have never heard of this Alliance back home, though may I ask what your race and origin is?"

"My race is Human and we came from a Garden planet we call earth, third planet of our Sol System."

"Earthlings!? How long have you been venturing in space?" Somehow, everyone in the bridge either raises their eyebrows in surprise or narrowed their gaze in suspicion at the Devilukean's words, as if the Devilukean already know them judging from the outburst.

"Uh…that would be 14 Years since our first capable starship" The captain eventually informed.

It was then silence was the response which was getting tenser the longer it gets.

"I'm sorry if I offended in any ways captain" Anderson said concerned if he just screwed first contact.

"No no! You took my silence in the wrong way but…I must have his majesties informed about this" Gastrom frantically replied.

"You're going to pass the information into your government am I correct? Captain Gastrom, May I only notify you that the Alliance wishes nothing more but peaceful relations with your people still yet please do inform your government of our existence so then our period of isolationism may be over"

"Yes yes I shall, this is certainly an unexpected turn of events. If you would be so kind, can you send me information about your race for me to prove my reports to the council" The devilukean hastily said.

"Certainly, I'm sending you our First Contact Package. May this be a great start of relations between your and our race."

The devilukean didn't respond at that as it just cut off the line and the Devilukean just sped off into the void.

"Something was off there…" The rear captain said deciding break off the silence.

"I know, I get the feel of déjà vu like when we first encountered the Blacklight virus, are all the data collected from that ship decrypted?"

"Yes captain, though it took longer than what we have expected since it was to be converted from binary codes to Alliance standards first"

"God, it's the 21st century nobody uses that anymore, no wonder we broke through their firewall with ease"

Along with that and that, the small Alliance flotilla went back home to spread the…good news. This news was first reported to the Alliance Parliament and after that they solemnly sent this news to every agencies and medias all across Alliance space, each in a every born-native language but mostly their universal language.

At first, everyone was skeptical only it was replaced with a look of ecstatic when they we're showed proof. Majority expected strange creatures as how they would view in their fictions and imaginations but surprisingly, they look human…Damn good-looking humanoid aliens.

At that point, all planets or everyone went out of their homes to celebrate the birth of a new era, for their isolation years has finally broken knowing that they are not alone and sentient beings exist, where they could finally extend the friendship and cooperation to their universal brothers and sisters. Despite their governments and ideology slightly opposite, a species nonetheless and it was out of the reach humanity.

Codex/Human Technology

Codex - The Codex is a human-invented Data Journal much like to its predecessors Encyclopedia or Wikipedia which is also divided into three types. Civilian Codex is open for the public, Military Codex is only open for the Alliance Military, Navy and the Alliance Government Officials and lastly, Black Codex is only for the eyes of individuals in the core Alliance and Cerberus.

FTL - System Alliance method of FTL runs fifty times the speed of light and relies greatly on Element Zero. By applying a mass effect field around a vessel with the use of Element Zero, the ships mass would be reduced to almost non-existent. By taking advantage of lack of mass then activating the ships thrusters in one direction manually or by a designated set of coordinates, this effectively raises the speed of light within the mass effect field, allowing high speed travel with negligible relativistic time dilation.

Stargates - Human-made Mass Relays. Simple as that, nothing more nothing less. Stargates are extremely expensive since its heavy reliance to Element Zero as it would almost cost a fleet of dreadnoughts per Stargate but for a good cause after then. This are basically relays that would transport a ship to another stargate ten folds the speed of Alliance FTL.
