Timeline:
March 2412 - Shepard arrives in Asuran Federation territory without any memories except for some things like his name. He accepts the help the AF offers him in exchanged for the technology his armor came with. He begins a long and tiresome recovery process. The Union even sends a representative to check if Shepard was really a psyker. The representative after examination determines that while Shepard's powers look similar to those of a psyker, it's not connected to the Warp in any way.
December 2412- After months of physical therapy, Shepard is able to function at full power. The doctors tried to see if they could access his memories, but there was a block on them. In fact, the block was so strong that even when the Emperor and Empress of the Union, who took notice of this, tried to enter his mind, they were literally thrown out, both mentally and physically (it was really funny seeing the royal couple being blown through nearly five walls of the AF's strongest metal). They decided to leave his memories for now.
After that the doctors decided to test Shepard's ability's. After a few hours of testing, the tests showed that his skills' where off the off the charts. His strength was more powerful than the Space Marines. But they were more shocked that a Shinobi could not lay a finger on him. When they looked over the test results they found that Shepard had a node the size of a pea at the back of his head. They discovered that the node was related to an extra sensory perception that could detect any kind of danger but can't be fooled.
They also discovered that Shepard had an immunity to radiation. However the doctors thought it was just a uncontrolled mutation. But after extensive research into it they found no trace of any kind of mutation that could have caused it. They discovered that it was a natural phenomenon making them believe that ether his planet had a massive nuclear war or the planet was too close to the sun. The former one being the most believable.
Meanwhile, the database that was inside Shepard's armor was access. While most of it was corrupted beyond repair, the data on the omni-tool was still intact. The omni-tool, while considered low-tech on its own, the AF realized that if upgraded correctly, it could be a great tool for the AF and its allies.
Also, Shepard joins the AF military.
2420-2433= Shepard is sent on exchanged military programs with the other nations. During these he meets the Battle Sister known as Serena, who he starts to get close to. One very interesting surprise came when Primarch Sanguinius challenge Shepard to a friendly spar. To put in to simple terms, the friendly spar turned into a one-on-one epic match that ended in a draw when the Emperor himself stopped the fight due to both fighters running on fumes. In that moment, Shepard earned the respect of the Union.
Shepard also met with the Protoss Zealot named Naedrun, who he developed a brother like bond with after several missions with him.
Shepard rises to the rank of Commander in the Navy Corps.
The omni-tool is released to the public among the nations and becomes a success. Not only are they better but the mini-fabricators were replaced with Energy-to-matter Converters, which in turn allow any person with them to create just about anything, from food, objects and some things. (The omni-tool takes energy from either heat, sun and/or an external source to work). They are also adapted to work with any type of armor and the function to create melee weapons was upgraded to create them with hardlight.
December 2434- The Tetra War stated.
June 2441- Edward Terrance II becomes an Ascended.
March 2442- The Allies sent a recon ship to what is believed to be a major supply planet for Biohazard forces. Shepard, along with Serena and Naedrun are part of the recon force. Unfortunately, the ship was spotted by enemy forces and shot down. The only survivors from the ship were the mentioned trio and three more survivors, an Ultramarine Space Marine named Lance Nelson and his Shinobi Jonin girlfriend Yuma Naito; and the ship's Forerunner Monitor, Raven Shroud, the group just called him Shroud.
The group realized that not only are alone, but that Biohazard was also jamming their communications as well. They then resort to guerilla tactics for several weeks. During those weeks, the group bonded to the level to be considered family.
But then everything changed when the group decided to steal of one Biohazard's ship to escape the planet. While they were successful at the beginning, everything went to hell when the Gravemind decided to make an appearance with one of his deadly Avatar forms. The group fought against him, but he turned out to be too powerful. During the fight, Serena was injured by the Avatar, that Shepard for some reason also felt it and the injury appeared on him. Then the Avatar gives a life and death injury to Serena, which caused Shepard to completely lose it. He for all intents and purposes massacres the Gravemind Avatar and all of his Biohazard forces that were in the base.
During this, the rest team were trying to heal Serena, which did were to barely do it just in time for Shepard was about to attack them in his rage. After Serena was healed, Shepard finally calmed down and fainted right next to her. Next thing the rest of the group saw was a violet light coming from Shepard that then covered Serena for a few moments but the light expanded to the rest of the group. After that, they fell unconscious to the ground.
Then Shepard and Serena awoke in what appeared to be a white realm. Immediately Shepard clings on to Serena, who is somewhat shocked at his reaction, but then she hears him crying that he was happy she was okay. She then remembered what happened, so she realizes that she is somehow alive. At that moment, they confess their love for each other and finally kiss. After a minute of kissing, they hear the rest of the team talking to them, who were standing there for some time (which included Naedrun, Lance and Shroud paying Yuma because she won the pool of when Shepard and Serena were finally going to get together).
After briefly congratulating the blushing new couple, they start to ask where they were. Then in that moment, Carl appeared, surprising everyone. Now, everyone in the Allied Nations knew who Carl was, since basically he is responsible for saving some of the Nations from destruction.
Upon introducing himself, he then proceeds to tell Shepard that he is the one who sent him to the AF. But before continuing, he tells Shepard that was going to restore some of his memories, which Shepard quickly said he wanted. Carl then released Shepard's memories from his birth, childhood, the Infection, his capture and torture of Cerberus, and finally to his escape from Cerberus, but what Shepard did not know was that his teammates were also seeing his memories, due to the bonds he developed with them.
At the end of it, Shepard, along with Naedrun, Lance and Shroud were literally rolling with rage at what they seen, while Serena and Yuma while they were feeling rage, they were also feeling sadness at Shepard for what has happened to him. The memories also tell Shepard and Serena that they are soul mates due to the Tiberian curse, which makes them very happy at that.
Carl then proceeded to explain that the rest of Shepard's memories were going to stay locked up until certain future events, which Shepard will have to find out on his own. He also tells him that he has finished the final trial but that in order to save him, Carl sent him to the past. He also tells him that the Black Storm Prophecy was going to happen due to the Reapers, otherwise known to the Tiberians as the Macaacrons. He tells them that while the threat of Biohazard was important, the Reapers were also a threat, but what scared the group was that the Reapers were only puppets, the one they needed to worry about was the puppeteer, which Carl said he cannot say due to the ancient laws.
Shepard and his friends understand this and vow to be ready for the coming storm, which according to Carl won't happen for years to come. Carl in the end tells them that they need to warn their allies as well. He says farewell to the group and that he will tell the group when it is time to act. The group awake from their sleep and immediately take a Biohazard ship back to Allied territory.
Days later, the group is reporting directly to the leaders of the Allies, who were shown Shepard's memories with the help of the Royal Couple (to say the killing intent generated in the room was huge was an understatement; it was felt across the entire star system). One interesting scene was seeing Adam asking for forgiveness to Shepard for what happened to him. Shepard said to him that it was not his humanity that was responsible, even if they were, he would not judge an entire race for the actions of a few, Adam was happy about that.
The Allied leaders were also surprised by the fact that Shepard was for all intents and purposes a prince, who will be king later due to his father's death. Shepard then said that while he is loyal to his people, his true allegiance now lies with the Allies, since they were his new family, mostly due to the fact that he found his soul-mate Serena, which in turn made Adam first give the traditional 'hurt my daughter, and you will beg for death' speech, but in the end both him and Lothia gave their blessings to the couple.
The AF immediately went looking through the Forerunner archives looking for anything related to the Reapers. They found out that the Reapers actually attacked the Forerunners years before the start of the Human-Forerunner War. They were unsuccessful in their attack and retreated to dark space, but it was suspected that before retreating, they might have stolen some Precursor tech, which somewhat worries the Allies due to the fact that it was very well know that Precursor tech vs. Forerunner tech is like comparing an orbital gun with a small plastic toy gun. They also bow to fight against the upcoming Reaper threat when the time comes.
After the briefings, Shepard was giving the rank of Captain and was giving the choice to lead the members of his group in more missions, he accepted. Yuma was then given the status of Sannin due to her actions, Nelson was also giving the rank of Terminator and Serena was giving the rank of Celestine.
The war continues with the Allies gaining ground.
January 2449- End of the Tetra War and establishment of the Lost Systems Alliance.
July 2449- John and Serena get married. The wedding is carried out with the blessings of the Royal couple themselves, with Adam delivering Serena.
During the same month, Lance and Yuma also got married. However due to the Reaper threat both couples decided to hold off on creating a family until the threat is gone.
February 2450- While reviewing several mission reports, it was discovered that there were a high number of people who were behind enemy lines for some time, just like Shepard's team. It was decided that all of people were going to be offered a chance to serve as LSA Field Teams; they were going to be called Lost Teams.
The offer was giving to Shepard and his friends, including Raven, to serve in the same team. They accepted, becoming Lost Team 147.
2510- The LSA reaches pre-war time status in terms of infrastructure, population, and military. The LSA continues to prosper.
2535- Construction of the LSA capital system, named the Zero System, begins.
2545- Zero System is completed.
2546- 2611= Life for the LSA is great. While there have been some small Biohazard raids, peace is still ongoing.
The LSA leaders, with Shepard's blessing, disclose about whom he really was, what happened to him and more importantly, the threat of the Reapers. The LSA public is shocked and outrage at what happened to one of their own and vows to help him get revenge against Cerberus. They also accept that the Reaper threat is coming and decided to prepare.
Even though it was revealed that Shepard was royalty, he was not treated any different, if anything, the people saw him with more respect for what he has been through, especially since he literally died to serve his people.
Also, the omni-tool was then upgraded with LSA tech and now not only has its original functions, but also have the capability of storing infinite amount of objects in it, from small items to big things like actual fighters and mobile suits.
(This comes from the idea of combining Forerunner spacing tech (remember, the inside of a Shield World is literally bigger than the outside) and the storage scrolls of the SN.)
2612- Story (aka ME2) starts.
Meanwhile…
A man dressed in black watched as the construction of the SR-2 Normandy was under way. The new Normandy was to be used by Shepard's team as they venture back into Citadel space. The man smirked. The being who called himself Carl thought that no one could see what happened to Shepard. Carl was so very wrong. He saw that Shepard's body was sent to another reality and that he will stay there for two years until the people there will bring him back to life, only for him to return back to his original reality with no help from them.
"So brother your about to come back. I'll be waiting." he said as he then disappeared.
However, unknown to him, Carl knew that the man was watching, so he made it appear that Shepard was sent to another reality, rather than in the same universe.
"While the ancient laws say that I can't get rid of you, they don't limit my interference in helping out my comrades. Your ignorance will doom us all if you're allowed to succeed." Carl said in a serious tone.
"Why do I get the feeling that the conflict between Shepard and that 'man' will somehow rival the Horus Heresy, but only this time instead of being father versus son, it will be brother against brother?" Carl said as he then made two screens appear in front of him.
In one image shows the man dressed in black with a female that cannot be seen leading not only the Reapers, but Biohazard as well, resulting in the death of both universes. This is basically a dark future.
However, the other image shows Shepard with his wife, alongside with all of his teammates, leading the armies of all three civilizations to victory. This is a light future.
"The future is bleak." Carl said as he made the screens disappear and then look at the Normandy's construction and then he disappeared.
