Woo-hoo! Hell-o there everyone! Welcome to the second fanfic that I made. I like to tell you guys that there are not a lot of good God Eater crossovers out there and a great idea suddenly popped into my mind saying "Hey! Why don't I cross it over with something?" and I respond by saying, 'why not?' and the story of Mass Effect popped first into my head, creating this fic as the result. To the valued readers of my story Gate: For Answered, don't worry! I'm will still write chapters about it! I don't plan on abandoning my first story after all! Also, I will be posting the next chapter of this story soon once I get enough ideas and after I hear your opinions on my story. Alright then, I think that's enough babbling already. Now let's get this on!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Mass Effect or God Eater games except for the ocs that I have made.
P. S I'm open to any kind of ideas or suggestions that you have. Also, I also want to hear your opinion on this. What should God Eater humanity face during their first contact? The Turians, Batarians, Quarians, a combination of either of the three? Or perhaps something else?
*History*
2185– After performing a large coup d'etat inside the FRIAR with assistance from Julius Visconti whom she heavily manipulated, Dr. Rachel Claudius, a highly esteemed scientist and creator of the God Arc Soldier Project, exposes her true plans and deception to Julius, revealing her grand scheme to trigger another Devouring Apocalypse by using him as its new Singularity before she knocks him out unconscious in preparation for his grand transformation which will devour the entire world. Confronted by the combined strength of special forces unit BLOOD which is comprised of Alexander Shepard, Haruka Sakamoto, Ciel Alencon, Gilbert Mclane and Nana Kazuki, Dr. Claudius tries to take them out with help from a powerful creation of hers, the God Arc Soldier Version Zero which is the prototype for all of the God Arc Soldiers she has ever created. After a long grueling fight, BLOOD managed to defeat Claudius' abomination however things were too late as Julius' transformation became complete and he turned into the monstrosity known as The Person Who Opens The World. After Dr. Claudius lets herself be absorbed into the abomination, The Person Who Opens The World proceeds to do battle with BLOOD in a fight that will decide the fate of the entire planet. Fortunately, BLOOD has a plan formulated by Dr. Sakaki himself in which they will counteract Julius' Singularity by using Yuno Asihara, an individual infected with the Black Plague, as another Singularity in order to get rid of Julius' Singularity form. Using Yuno's powers which have been amplified by Alexander and Haruka's own powers, they managed to overwhelm Julius' Singularity and connect to his consciousness from the other side.
The three persons tried to talk to Julius and connect to him in order to successfully bring him back. Unfortunately, Julius refuses as his mutation makes it impossible to do so and instead he opts to remain behind the Singularity's realm of mind in order to fight off its destructive purpose. In order to prevent it from completely devouring the world, Julius forcibly stops the Singularity's evolution, resulting in a gigantic explosion that takes in all of the spread from the Black Plague. A large helix-shaped, plant like structure was formed in its aftermath which is dubbed the Helix Tree by Fenrir.
2186- Months later after the first incident, dozens of new kinds of Aragami started pouring out from the Helix Tree and special forces unit BLOOD was instantly dispatched to deal with the situation. Things got a lot more complicated however when BLOOD finds out that Julius is still alive within the Helix Tree along with Dr. Claudius after Livie Collete receives a vision of him fighting inside the Helix Tree and that Dr. Claudius was keeping him there. With that knowledge in mind, BLOOD begins to desperately fight through the Helix Tree in a race against time until they reached the area where Julius was being kept and confronted Dr. Claudius herself once more. In their fight, Dr. Claudius mutates herself into a gigantic, horrifying Aragami herself called the Person Who Closes The World and tries to kill BLOOD for interfering with her plans. Fortunately, the combined strength of BLOOD prevails once more over the monstrous strength Dr. Claudius possesses, proving more than a match that she can handle. Realizing this, Dr. Claudius traps the entire team of BLOOD with a bunch of large thorns that she has summoned and begins making her way to Julius' unconscious body, grabbing him before she attempts to imbed him inside the Singularity on her chest. Fortunately, Alexander and Haruka managed to break free from Dr. Claudius' thorns and they both ran towards Julius in order to save him. Alexander himself rips Julius free from Claudius' chest while Haruka rams the blade of her God Arc directly on Claudius' face, dealing the final blow and killing the deranged, omnicidal maniac once and for all. With Julius saved and broken free from the Helix Tree's grasp, the entire place begins to collapse and Blood quickly evacuates the area along with their rescued comrade before the entire area falls down upon them.
2188- Despite BLOOD's major victory against Dr. Claudius' apocalyptic plan, the entire population of humanity is still at the brink of extinction with dozens of new types of Aragami appearing and evolving every year along with the scarce availability of resources. Coupled with food shortages and the high mortality rate of the population, the top officials of Fenrir sees that living on the planet is a hopeless act and begins drafting measures for a plan that will change the entire fate of humanity. Codenamed Project Exodus,this is a plan in which Fenrir will prepare developing numerous Arks, taking examples and details from the plans of the deceased former Director Johannes Shicksal, a fact that many of the higher ups from Fenrir find ironic, so that they can transport the entire human population and migrate altogether to the much safer destination of the moon which is now a lush, garden like world after the first Singularity, a mysterious Aragami girl named Shio, devoured it and transformed it into what it is now. At first, many of the high officials thought about keeping the plan secret however, many of their colleagues pointed out that their plan will eventually be revealed in the long run and that it is better to tell the public about it now than later in order to quickly gain their trust in the matter. After publically declaring it, many of the civilians in the population were worried that a repeat of Director Shicksal's plan might happen again however, Fenrir assured that everyone will get a chance to board the Arks as the population has reached a critically dangerous point already and that every life now must be treated preciously otherwise humanity will become extinct within the next few generations or less. Though reluctant, many have decided to agree with Fenrir's plan seeing as they don't have much of a choice other than total extinction. With approval from the majority of the population, Fenrir begins construction of the Arks that will transport the human species into salvation and within the last few months of the year, Fenrir successfully developed and tested the new Aragami Drive Core, a powerful drive core that's powered by the still alive core of an Ouroboros which gives it an amazingly unbelievable amount of energy to operate. The creation of this engine became a technological breakthrough for Fenrir and they quickly began developing dozens of these engines at once to equip to their Arks.
2190- The Arks have finally been completed and with that the massive exodus of mankind begins to take place. Hundreds of ships began to take off towards the space, leaving the world they once called as home to the monsters they left. Within 2 days, the Arks have reached the moon and colonization begins shortly after. During the colonization, the settlers suddenly discovered an entire sizable population of Aragami on their new home however unlike the ones on Earth, these Aragami are not hostile and are in fact quite docile, acting more like passive aggressive creatures that do not attack anyone that's even near them unless slighted to. This discovery piques the interests of dozens of Fenrir's top scientists and researchers including Dr. Paylor Sakaki who was greatly intrigued with the lack of outright hostile violence these strange Aragami are displaying. Many experts have theorized that the native Aragami living on the moon may have been created by the First Singularity, Shio, after she devoured and remade the entire moon but this theory has yet to be proven without conclusive evidence. Fenrir decides to take hundreds of samples of these passive Aragami as some of the abilities they have can prove invaluable in their long term plans. Plans of domesticating these types of docile Aragami are also greatly taken into consideration.
2191- The colony was finally established during the first month of the year and humanity rejoiced at their success of survival. A huge celebration began and the populations' morale soared as humanity can now hope for a brighter future.
2192- Alexander Shepard and Haruka Sakamoto proposed to each other and got married on the moon's colony. Many of their friends and coworkers attended the ceremonies and among them include people such as Yuu Kannagi and his fellow members from Cradle like Soma Schicksal, Alisa Amiella, Lindow and Sakuya Amamiya and Kota Fujiki and of course, Alexander and Haruka's own fellow teammates from BLOOD like Gilbert, Nana, Julius, Ciel and Livie.
2195- With the relative peace that it is experiencing as well as with the numerous breeding programs and child healthcare policies Fenrir has adapted, humanity's numbers began to slowly climb up, resulting in a population of almost 45,000,000 individuals and counting. Though pleased with the results, many Fenrir officials became worried that the colony might not be able to support such a large population in the future so as a solution, they began to draft new plans for colonizing the nearby planet of Mars by using special terraforming technology derived from several photosynthetic Aragami that can help make the planet's hostile atmosphere breathable to human beings. Plans for an improved Aragami Drive Core were being developed in order to secure a faster way of travel for the future colonizers.
2196- The improved Aragami Drive Core has finally been completed and without further ado, a new colony fleet was sent to Mars, arriving there in less than 3 weeks. Once there, the construction of the colony's special envirodomes and the terraformation of the entire planet began.
Alexander and Haruka finally have a son whom they named Luke.
2197- With most of their focus being shifted on the construction on the colonies on Mars as well as with the planet's terraformation, Fenrir decides to create a new subsection within its research department called Cerberus which will handle all the weapons development and Aragami research. Led by one of Fenrir's most highly mysterious individuals, a shadowy man codenamed "The Illusive Man", Cerberus begins developing dozens of projects at once, one of which lead to the groundbreaking development of the P13 Bias Factor, a highly improved version of the ones used to develop God Eaters. The P13 Bias Factor was developed using samples from the new kinds of Aragami living on the moon and this new Bias Factor displayed abilities that were previously not present in its predecessors like enhanced physical and cellular regeneration that allows a person injected with it to heal from large wounds that were deemed fatal as well as increased strength, durability, dexterity, agility and reaction time on a level that was previously thought to be impossible. Another positive effect the P13 Bias Factor possesses is that it is far more stable than its previous predecessors and that it is less restrictive than them, resulting in a large boost of God Eaters being recruited under Fenrir's ranks.
2198- Construction of the Mars colonies' envirodomes are complete and the newly established colony city of Valhalla was declared as the new capital and seat of government for the rest of humanity. However, the air present around the planet's atmosphere is still deemed as not yet safe enough to breathe in as scientists estimate that it will still take years for the terraformation process to finish. Cerberus begins restarting the DEMAS Project started by Dr. Rachel Claudius and starts developing several new types of God Arc Soldiers that will be used to protect humanity from any possible future attacks by the hostile Aragami from Earth.
2199- The first of the new types of God Arc Soldiers have finally been developed and tested against a bunch of special artificially grown Aragami created within Cerberus' secret labs on Mars' two moons named Phobos and Deimos. Unlike the previous models which have a chance of becoming berserk or going rogue at unknown moments, the new God Arc Soldiers showed no signs of such a thing occurring and were in fact far more easier to control due to Cerberus using specialized Oracle Cells derived from the docile Aragami on the moon in developing the new God Arc Soldiers. Test results were deemed 100% successful as a result.
In the last quarter of the month, Cerberus has finished developing a new kind of biometal derived from the Oracle Cells of several S-Class Aragami that they kept in storage as well as a few from the samples they obtained from the docile ones on the moon. This new biometal displayed impressive regenerative functions and durability that were on a whole new level that they have never seen before. Cerberus dubbed this new creation of theirs as Godsteel. Fenrir begins implementing the new biometal on all of their ships.
2201- Disaster struck as one of the containment centers on Cerberus' lab in Phobos had an accidental breach and started releasing all of the artificially grown Aragami being held inside all over the lab. Luckily, Cerberus managed to alert special forces unit BLOOD on the condition and the situation was quickly solved before it can get any worse. However, the Phobos Lab was unfortunately destroyed as a result and Cerberus personnel have to transfer all of their top secret files and projects to their other lab on mainland Mars and dozens of additional God Eaters and God Arc Soldiers were assigned to the new lab to prevent such an accidental breach from ever happening again in the further future.
2203- A long period of peace has passed and humanity's population is now completely stable. Many have now been clamoring that now is the time to retake their homeworld of Earth back from the savage Aragami but many higher officials of Fenrir are wary with the idea considering that many of Earth's resources have already been depleted and most of its land is far too devastated because of the voracious appetite of the Aragami, making the idea of reclamation pointless as the planet is now far too damaged to be of any use with the added fact that it will take dozens of years if not decades to completely eradicate every Aragami from Earth and not to mention the thousands of God Eaters that will die during the conflict and the billions of credits Fenrir has to spend to finance such an operation. In the remaining months of the year, Fenrir sent dozens of deep space probes towards the outer reaches of the solar system in search of possible sources of minerals and resources to supply humanity's growing needs.
2204- The Martian atmosphere is now slowly starting to stabilize and dozens of previously inaccessible areas are now fit for exploration and excavation. During one such dig, a research team has discovered a bunch of mysterious alien ruins that were left behind by a previously unknown civilization. Sensing an opportunity at hand, Fenrir begins assigning its top scientists and researchers like Dr. Paylor Sakaki to investigate the ruins and uncover their hidden secrets. However, problems have arise when an unexpected explosion occurred at the dig site and dozens of individuals there died suddenly with symptoms of a strange class of poisoning that many top scientists of Fenrir haven't encountered yet while the God Arcs of the God Eaters stationed at the site suddenly went crazy and started transforming and mutating their users into a bunch of dangerous Aragami composed of Corrosive Hannibals and Susanoos. Special forces BLOOD was quickly dispatched to the site at once along with three defense teams in order to take the crazed, mutated God Eaters down and put them out of their misery. About four casualties have been experienced in the response teams' ranks including Alexander Shepard who became critically injured in the fight after he tried protecting his wife Haruka from a Corrosive Hannibal's attack, taking it in her stead and resulting in him losing his left arm in the process. In a fit of berserker induced rage, Haruka proceeds to unleash a no-holds barred beatdown to the Corrosive Hannibal who gravely injured her husband, ripping it and tearing apart into tiny, gory little pieces with her God Arc before she eventually devoured its core. After the situation was gradually resolved by BLOOD's special response, Fenrir learns that the incident was caused by an entirely unknown element they have never faced before which they dubbed as Element Zero. Fenrir discovers that aside from the fatal poisoning it can cause to regular humans exposed to it, Element Zero was found out to be highly dangerous when it comes into contact with Oracle Cells as it causes them to instantly go berserk even with the heavy restrictions placed by the P13 Bias Factor, resulting in the instant transformation of any God Eater that comes into direct contact with the stuff into a mindless, feral Aragami. As a result, Fenrir has deemed the ruins as to be far too risky and dangerous to be further excavated and has ordered all of their personnel to destroy any remaining ruins that they have discovered. Cerberus however, has secretly smuggled some of the alien artifacts from the ruins despite the dangers the artifact possess as well as the orders they received from the higher ups of Fenrir itself as their leader, the Illusive Man, believes that these alien artifacts can help mankind further down the road as well as produce weapons that may help in eradicating the hostile Aragami from Earth. Meanwhile, Alexander Sheperd was given a chance by Fenrir to retire with complete benefits due to the injury he received. However, Alexander refused their offer and told them that he will continue serving mankind and defend it from the ever large constant threat of the Aragami. Impressed with his devotion, Fenrir decides to reward Shepard by giving him a new artificial arm in order to replace the one he lost.
2206- Using schematics from the data they managed to scavenge from the artifacts they smuggled, Cerberus has developed a new Aragami Drive Core that allows the previously thought impossible method of faster than light travel to finally be achieved. Though most of the data they scavenged from the artifacts are incomplete, Cerberus has managed to fill in those blanks by applying Aragami Technology to the gaps which actually even improved the original design. Though Fenrir became furious with Cerberus upon learning that they disobeyed their orders of destroying every alien artifact they have, they can't dismiss the fact that Cerberus has created a new groundbreaking way for all of mankind to finally expand beyond the stars and have so, decide to temporarily sweep everything under the rug, at least for the current moment. Within the year, Fenrir have began constructing an entire fleet of ships that will take millions of settlers to new distant systems and planets.
2211- Mankind has finally expanded to at least three star systems, with several colonies now under their control. However, a new discovery was made near the colony of Shanxi as settlers there have discovered a rather bizarre looking structure.
