NOTE:This is a very AU story that will eventually span all three games mixed in with elements from different games in regards my OC Isaya (eye-say-ah). I do not own any aspects of the Mass Effect game franchise or any other game aspects I may use, which will mainly be Borderlands and The Last Remnant that(I also do not own).Will only use elements of previously mentioned titles not characters, so don't ask. Later explanations will be provided upon request via review or a collection of shorts to lay down info for the up coming series, so it's post Mass Effect.

1:Before the Legend I CE:2155(Shepards)

It was a cold and rainy day on earth. A small funeral was being held to lay to rest one of the best soldiers the Alliance had ever seen, Matthew Shepard. A grieving mother stood dressed in black while an admiral rambled on. Her name is Hanna Shepard.

As the procession came to a close she was approached by an old friend of Matthew's, David Anderson. He simply laid a hand on her shoulder as the fact that her husband was dead finally came crashing down on her. As her body began to rack with sobs Anderson wraps his arm around her shoulder for comfort.

"Oh David, who would do such a thing," she sobs out in anguish. "i don't know Hanna," he says as he stares at Matthew's tombstone, "But I will look into only thing we have to go on is the strange diamond symbol left behind from the casing of the bomb." As they walk to Anderson's sky car Hanna says, "What am I going to tell the kids," and breaks into another fit of sobs. Anderson looks at her seriously and says, "You tell them the truth. Their father was a brave man who died fighting to preserve humanity's integrity and the people he 't worry when the time comes I handle it." She looks at him shocked. He chuckles, "What, you didn't think you'd be in this alone did you? I am their godfather after all." She gives her own chuckle and for the first time, since receiving the horrible news of her husband's death, Hanna Shepard smiled.

Data archive CE:2155 Matthew Shepard receives highest Alliance honors for his sacrifice in preventing a terrorist bombing on an element zero shipment by removing the bomb via shuttle. Estiments show that if the shipment had exploded the resulting shock wave would have caused significant damage to the Eden Prime colony. Producing a massive increase in biotic potentials is guessed to be the objective of the bombing. No further data is avaliable.
