So at this point I have no idea what i'm gonna do to help further my story, The End War.

Probably just delete the the thing and have done with it.

Besides it's not living up to the expectations I had for it.

Though if I get rid of the naruto characters and just make it a regular Mass Effect fanfic I could make a prequel to this new one sort.

-is puzzling over it-

Oh well that's up to you fine readers.

-sees a lawyer-

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR MASS EFFECT

-does a Biotic Slam on the lawyer-

Now on with the show

Chapter 1: The war comes to an end...

Ashley Williams, Lieutenant Commander of the Systems Alliance and most recently a Spectre, the galaxy's elite soldiers hand picked from all the council races, however all these accomplishments paled in comparison to the little pink bundle she currently held in arms. Smiling down at the baby she noticed black tufts of hair sticking out of the little girls head. It was then the little girl yawned and seemed to snuggle closer to her. Smiling a smile that only a mother holding her baby for the first time could manage Ashley leaned forward a little and kissed her daughter's forehead.

"Welcome to the galaxy Athena Gracelyn Shepard," Ashley said lovingly to the little bundle of joy in her arms, who seemed to smile and give a babyish giggle at her new name. Meanwhile in a small, relatively unexplored area of the galaxy a small blonde headed boy cried out for the parents who would never hold him, never love him, and would never be there to comfort him from the hated glares of the people who were supposed to revere him as a hero.

20 years later...

Lieutenant Commander Athena Gracelyn Shepard was impatiently drumming her fingers against her Vindicator Assault Rifle, which she modded with a precision scope and a stability dampener for better aim. Sighing as she sat aboard the Kodiak Drop Shuttle she, once again, began to wonder what made this new planet so damn important. She then gave up when her omni-tool blinked with a message from her mother, Spectre Ashley Williams. Once again she ran over what made her different from her mother, her mother was a straight running and gunning soldier, Athena Shepard was a Vanguard, a mixture of a biotic and a soldier, where the biotics came from she had no idea seeing how her dad, Jason Shepard was a Infiltrator, a mixture of tech and soldiering, her mother liked Ulysses, Athena preferred Edgar Allen Poe, her mother always held a day of remembrance for her long dead father, Athena didn't see any reason in mourning a man she never knew, and lastly her mother was calm in a firefight while Athena just shot the place up and called it a day. Her mom also didn't like it when she hung out with her Aunt Jack, her fears were somewhat well founded seeing how Athena had gotten her first, and so far only tattoo, on a rare visit to Earth, it was a tribal fox ready to slam it's paw down on a black blob located on her right shoulder. Answering the call she saw a miniature version of her mom hovering about an half a centimeter above her omni-tool. Her mom's dark auburn hair was starting to show streaks of gray, you could almost clearly see the wrinkles on her face, her chocolate colored eyes that still sparkled with warmth, even though she was like forty something.

"Hey Gracy," her mom greeted her with a smile and a warm voice, using her childhood pet name.

"Hey mom," she said, rolling her eyes slightly. Causing her mom's smile to widen a little, looking up from the projection a little she saw quite a few of her male comrades pointing at her mother's projection and making what appeared to be lewd comments. Glaring at them she looked back down at her mom and tried her best not to use a biotic slam, a trick her Aunt Miranda had taught her, on all of them.

"So what's new Gracy," her mom asked, smiling at her more than likely well aware of the comments made by her male counterparts.

"We're investigating a planet on the very edge of the Outer rim," Athena explained, knowing her mom would find out either from her Spectre channels or when the official report crossed some officers desk.

"oh why's that," her mom asked, the smile never leaving her face.

"I don't know just following orders right now," Athena answered, it was then a red light went off signaling they were about to land, "gotta go mom."

With that she cut the transmission then looked up at all the males in the shuttle.

"Any of you dipshits even try to make an advance on my mom and I will beat you so bad they'll need a mop to pick you up off the floor," Athena threatened, causing all the males to gulp knowing she meant of word of the threat she just issued. It was then the side hatch to the shuttle opened and everyone climbed out to a vast and seemingly endless forest, weapons at the ready they began moving in a northern direction and after about two hours of walking they were met by a very tall stone wall. Splitting into two teams one team followed the wall to the left and the other followed it right. Athena's team had followed to the left and were met by a giant gate with two guys in green flak jackets, blue long sleeve shirts and dark blue capri looking pants and they wore a a weird bandana with a metal plate with what looked like a leaf etched into set center on their foreheads. Making sure the two stayed asleep, by hitting them lightly on the temple with their gun butts. Walking into the city they saw a bunch of civilians walking milling about and shop owners hocking there wares in a strange language, looking at their omni-tool's built in translators it was translating with a little effort, apparently the people were speaking in a dialect similar to Japanese. Grinning at this Athena turned to the rest of the group, and was surprised to find she was the highest ranking person there at the time.

"OK people split up and explore, anything unusual or that might prove an asset to the Alliance or the Council races report it back to me," she ordered her troops, with a quick nod they split up and took off in various directions. Deciding now would be as good a time as any to try and blend in to the current environment she found a abandoned building and began undoing the clasps of her armor, leaving her in a t-shirt, semi-skin tight pants, and black boots. Sighing she walked out to try and mingle with the locals.

Naruto's POV...

Naruto had just woken up and went about his morning ritual, brushing his teeth, making a cup of ramen, showering, making a cup of ramen, and getting dressed. When he walked outside he smiled and began to wonder what awesome jutsu he was gonna learn today. At the age of 20 Naruto had seen and done more then most other ninja twice his age, seeing as how he was the unofficial new Gama Sennin, but they only knocked him up to the rank of Chunin. Now it wasn't because of clan politics, seeing how he was good terms with the Clan heads and future clan heads, nor was it the councils, for the Hokage had final say in who got promoted, no the reason he hadn't gone past chunin was because he didn't truly want the rank of Jonin, though it was a massive stepping stone for his rise to Kage. He couldn't explain why he just didn't want it. Sighing he looked in a plate glass window at his reflection, his blonde hair still stuck up at odd angles, his blue eyes and long since lost that spark of mischief they once had, three whisker marks on each cheek, marking him as the Jinchuriki of Kurama, the Nine-tailed Fox, he was currently wearing a black long sleeve shirt, he long traded the orange for dark blues and blacks, as his new ANBU style shinobi pants had proven, black shinobi sandals, a black Konoha headband, and he was wearing a orange coat with black flames along the hems, the coat going to mid thigh. Sighing he decided to hit up his old sensei Kakashi Hatake to see if he had any new training regimes he could try out or new jutsu he could learn, when he was immediately stopped in his tracks by the most beautiful female he had ever seen, and he had seen a lot of beautiful women, she stood at roughly 5'10" with a athletic build, wavy black hair that stopped at her shoulders, dark blue eyes that seemed curious of everything, a somewhat sharply angled face, and her deeply tan skin tone gave her a somewhat exotic look, but the clothes she was wearing were odd, she wore what looked like a short sleeve ANBU top, semi-skin tight Jonin style pants, and dark looking shoes that couldn't possibly be shinobi sandals. Following the girl he noticed she seemed to be heading no where in particular, just looking around, because she was headed into what the more privileged citizens of Konoha called the Blackwater slums, the "bad part" of Konoha. The Blackwater Slums weren't necessarily that bad, sure it had a gang or two, but as long as you knew one the bosses you were fine, and this girl probably didn't no anyone.

Needless to say the minute she entered the slums she was swarmed by one of the gangs, the Kageryu of Naruto was correct. Sighing Naruto walked up and decided to make his presence known by unleashing a ungodly amount of Killer Intent. Looking past the girl all the gang members paled considerable.

"Naruto-sama," one of the gang members announced, bowing low with his forehead almost touching the ground. Sighing Naruto walked over to the bowing gang member and bopped him on the head.

"Kenji how many times do I have to tell you never to refer to me as Naruto-sama," Naruto asked with a sigh, causing Kenji to get a thoughtful look on his face.

"If I had to guess I'd say now makes it 279 times Naruto-sama," Kenji announced, before turning back to the girl.

"She's with me Kenji," Naruto announced quickly, causing Kenji to nod and back off. Naruto immediately grabbed the girls wrist and lead her around a corner.

"What the fuck possessed you to come here," Naruto asked with a hard glint in his eyes, the strange girl just waved him off.

"I could have taken care of them," the girl said, not the least bit worried about the situation she could've been in. Sighing Naruto was about to argue with her until he heard a beeping, looking around for what might have caused the beeping Naruto turned back to look at the girl, only to notice that she was staring down at a weird orange gauntlet that had a circle over the back of the hand and circular segments that went around the forearm up to the elbow. It was then a picture appeared of a human with his hair cut close to his scalp, light blue eyes, and a scar going from just below his earlobe to the right corner of his mouth.

"We found something you're gonna want to see," the male said in a thick kind of drawl. It was then the image of the man faded to show Kakashi flashing through a set of hand signs just before a dragon of water emerged from a nearby pond and surged toward a group of people in strange armor that seemed to cover their whole bodies, and just when the Water dragon slammed into the people they had a faint purple aura surround them just before they were swept away. The girl looked awestruck at Kakashi's jutsu, while Naruto was curious as to what that faint aura was, and the odd objects they were holding were.

"The Commander Athena Shepard," the girl, now identified as Athena, announced, "copy that continue mission and report in."

Naruto looked even more confused, just before the girl collapsed, falling right into Naruto's arms, right as a ANBU in a hawk mask appeared.

"Ah thank you Naruto-san we've been tailing her and her friends since they entered the village," the ANBU said, "now if you will allow me to take her to Ibiki."

Naruto merely shook his head and wind shunshined to the leaf village's I&T division.

Meanwhile in a unknown corner of the galaxy...

A figure sat dragging on a cigar imported from Earth, a small island country call Cuba was who manufactured the cigar. He was looking over a datapad when a female figure, wrapped in a dark black trench coat walked in.

"Ah Ms. Leng glad you could join me," the figure in the chair said as a female with straight black hair that went to her mid back, a black visor covered her eyes, a black shirt with a elongated hexagon with two bent rectangles on the sides. The figure said calmly tapping the ashes of his cigar into a built in ashtray on his chair.

"We have a situation that needs your particular skill set," the figure in the chair stated, taking a long drag on his cigar, "it appears one Athena Gracelyn Shepard as discovered a new planet with the inhabitants possessing peculiar abilities."

With that he played the footage from one of his agents that had been apart of the team sent to investigate the planet. The footage showed two people fighting at speeds that were surprisingly quick, then it changed over to a pink haired woman bent over a patient on the ground, and her hands were emitting a bright green glow as the massive gash on the patients chest knit itself shut, and the last bit of footage showed a man with silver hair moving his hands at blinding speed just before the water in the pond next to him rose up and formed into a dragon slamming into the agent and decimating his shields in mere seconds. Blinking behind her visor Kasumi Leng was at the least a little impressed at this planet's inhabitants.

"Your mission is to convince some this planet's inhabitants to join our cause," the man in the chair stated simply. Kasumi nodded and then walked out of the room. As soon as she left the room the figure tapped a button on his chair and a photo of Athena Gracelyn Shepard, the figure sneered at the photo, ready to put his lit cigar to it but stopped himself.

"Soon dear sister," The figure said menacingly, putting out his cigar as he grabbed a glass and poured it almost to the brim with vodka. Then he set to planning on how he was going to take his vengeance on his sister, and bring glory to his father's name by doing what he couldn't, controlling the Reapers and using them to combat a evil far greater than then Jason Shepard could comprehend, a evil for the time being, called simply the Reavers.

OK ik Reavers, Reapers wow big whoop, but bear with me.

Also if you haven't noticed this fic is set 20 yrs after Mass Effect 3 then you need to get checked.

Also if you haven't noticed there will be alcohol and tobacco references.

Also there will be romance options available for Athena, one of which if you haven't guessed is Naruto, or I can do an entirely different set of romance options for Naruto.

However I will put a poll on my profile up to see if you people want me to make the End War a prequel to this or not, if so I will go back and write Naruto and Hinata out of it.

Well just be sure to leave me plenty reviews, favs, and alerts.

Till the next post.

This is Dark Soldier signing out.
