I don't own Naruto, Warframe and Mass Effect, they belong to the respectives owners.
I will try to releasing one chapter a week.
"Welcome to Orokin, Ladies and Gentlemen." the fifth one said to them with a soothing and motherly but strong and powerful voice.
'That is one hell of voice she have.' They think while they stay on attention and even Wrex is doing it. But Joker still has that big smile on his face.
Chapter 04 – Compelling Offer
"Please, sit." Lotus said to them indicates seven pillows showing up in the floor. Some sits like the other are (Shepard, Kaidan, Garrus, Liara and Tali) and some just sit with their legs crossing (Ash and Wrex).
"We thank you, Lady Lotus for having us in this meeting." Shepard said to Lotus.
"You're welcome. May I introduce these four of my finest warriors, this is Shakura (She bows her head, she is wearing a black and grey armor with red accents and golden ornaments), Sasuke (he nods his head to them, he is wearing a white, dark grey and smoke grey armor with light grey accents and golden ornaments), Hinata (She bows her head to them, she is wearing a black armor with purple accents and golden ornaments) and Naruto (he just nod his head, he was wearing a white and dark orange armor with bronze accents and golden ornaments). And I already know your names, so is not needed to introducing yourselves to us." Lotus introducing the people in the room.
"A pleasure to meet you, Ladies and Gentlemen. May I proceed with an offer from the council?" Shepard asks her.
"Of course." Lotus answers, nodding her head to her.
She activated her Omni-Tool before continuing.
"On behalf of the council, I am to relay to you this offer. The Council will acknowledge that this system is occupied by your species. Council Law dictates that the council cannot initiate any military actions against a sentient species without sufficient cause. So you could continue with your lives without any change from the council. They also offer you a different choice too. The council wishes to establish official relations with your species. This would include exchange of technology, opening of trade relations, and possible inclusion in Citadel Space. If you accept the opening of diplomatic channels, two different options are available to you. Either you can send a representative of your race aboard my ship to come and negotiate with the council in person or the council can send their own ambassador to this planet." The orange tool disappeared and Shepard straightened.
Lotus looked at her warriors, judging how they were reacting in their body language. She felt that they needed more answers before she decides. Lotus look to Shepard and asked.
"I've been receiving reports from Simaris about your codex. Can you tell us more about this galactic civilization and council?"
Shepard nodded, but seemed confused on how to start. She finally motioned Liara and Garrus, cause them to stay in attention. She then turned and explained.
"I can tell you about the other species under the council. Liara here, is an Asari. They were the first species to find the Citadel and achieve spaceflight about 3,000 years ago. They are a mono-gendered race from the planet Thessia. They have a seat on the Council. Garrus is a Turian. A militant race from the planet Palaven. They joined the Council about 1,400 years ago after helping to stop a galactic war. They provide the main peacekeeping forces. My species, are humans. Despite looking like it, we are from different species. We only became part of Citadel Space less than thirty years ago. We fought with the Turians briefly before the council negotiated a cease fire. We don't have a seat on the council, only an embassy." She typed on her orange tool before producing a hologram of a lizard like creature before continuing.
"The Salarians. They discovered the Citadel forty years after the Asari. They hold the other council seat. They are a very scientifically minded people with short life spans. There are many others. The Elcor, Volus, Drell, and Hanar. There are other species not with the Council as well. The Quarians, Krogan, Batarains, and others, but I can't explain them all to you." Shepard tells them.
"What do you mean a council seat?" Hinata now asked.
Shepard nodded before explaining.
"The council is the ultimate power in Citadel Space, but only three species currently have a seat on it. To get a seat on the council, a species must perform a great deed for Citadel Space. The Asari and Salarians formed it, and the Turians stopped the Krogan during the Krogan Rebellions. If a species is part of Citadel Space, but doesn't have a seat on the council, they have an embassy on the Citadel. This makes them an associate member. Their ambassadors can bring issues to the council, but don't have influence on the final decisions."
"What is this Citadel you have mentioned?" Sakura was the one who now asked.
Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata looked to Shepard, also curious on this issue. Shepard used her tool to change the hologram to show a weirdly shaped ship or something. She then explained.
"The Citadel is a giant Space Station constructed by the extinct Protheans over fifty thousand years ago. It is almost 45 kilometers in length and hosts a population of over 13 million. It is the center of galactic society."
"So if we joined we would have to follow your laws, but wouldn't even get a say in that? That is not in our nature." Sasuke spoke.
"You don't have to become part of Citadel Space. You can simply open trade ways or likewise. If you joined however, you would officially be under the protection of the Council. As I was saying, I'm a soldier, not a politician." Shepard replied anxiously.
"Thank you for the offer that the council is giving to us. But we also have an offer to your council. Simaris if you please?" She tells her.
"Yes, I hope if you don't mind, I made contact to your council to be in this meeting, so here they are." Simaris tells them and then some lights come from the ceiling showing up the council.
"We thank you for been in this meeting, councilors. I'm Lotus." She said to them bowing her head.
"I'm Tevos Bastet, councilor for the asari (she bows her head to Lotus). On my right we have the councilor for the turian, Sparatus Horus (he also bows his head to her) and on my left we have the councilor for the salarian, Valern Dodan (she also bows her head to her). From your cephalon told us you have an offer for us." Tevos said to her. Lotus nods to her.
"Yes, what I'm offer is the strength, skills and powers of my squadrons to help in the protection of yours and others homes, so that can be peace in our galaxy." While she is saying that, images and videos start to showing up their skills.
"Before you, councilors, ask why. Is because from I seen in the reports from Simaris on your codex, out of our system there is no peace, out there, families are torn apart and murdered by slavers, pirates and more." She said to them while Simaris is showing images and videos from what she is talking. They are quite gruesome and graphic of what going on out of their system. That makes the councilors disturbed from it. And she pointed to the images and videos.
"And because of that, this is my offer." She tells them.
Tevos, Sparatus and Valern start to look each other saying they need to think about Lotus's offer.
"While that is a quite an offer, we need time to think about it. We thank you for this meeting." Tevos said to Lotus.
"Of course, take the time you need." She tells them.
"Shepard, you will stay here until we give an answer to their leader in the next meeting." Tevos orders her.
"Yes, Councilor." She complies.
"Lady Lotus, until the next meeting." Tevos said to her while she and other councilors bow their head to her.
"Until the next meeting, councilors." Lotus said to them while she bows her head to them. And they turn off the light that was projecting them.
"You all can stay in your usual residences while you wait for them. Naruto, Hinata, Sasuke and Sakura. Please escort our friends around our City and provide a place for them. Until then, I think everyone will agree this meeting is done." Lotus said to them.
"Yes, Lotus-sama." They comply bowing their heads.
Lotus bows her head to Shepard and her squad-mates and leaves the room with that strange white and golden fur dog.
When everyone gets up, Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata and Sakura go their helmet retracted into their armors show their faces. Suddenly Shepard hear yelp from Tali causing to turn to her seeing Tali on Kaidan's arms, because of the strange golden fur and eyes dog that is in sitting in front of Kaidan (who had a sweat drop behind his head) with his head tilted to the right side and looking curiously to her.
"Kiiroi, here." Voice orders that strange dog now named Kiiroi.
Kiiroi just barks and goes sitting next to Naruto.
"I'm sorry about that Tali-chan. He just curious about you. He'll not go to hurt you." Naruto assures her while he goes near her with his kubrow.
"Tali, can I put you on the floor?" Kaidan asks Tali.
"Oh, right. Sorry about that Kaidan." Tali said to him embarrassed while he puts her on the floor.
"And I'm sorry about that Sir Naruto. Is just that we never seen just a strange looking dog." Tali said to Naruto.
"Please, no 'Sir', ok. Naruto it's just fine. And Kiiroi it is a kubrow. One of the 5 breeds of kubrow. This guy is a Huras Kubrow, a breed made for hunting. And he is a mellow guy, sometimes." Naruto tells her while he was scratching underneath his head make him sake his tail.
"Can I pet him?" Liara asks Naruto.
"Sure you can. About you Tali-chan?" Naruto asks her.
"O-o-ok." Tali said to him a bit scare of the kubrow that is enjoying the attention that he was getting from Liara making lying down on his left side.
She goes near Kiiroi one step at a time and when she is near him, Kiiroi looks at her with his blue eyes. She just finds him adorable.
"Oh, he is just so adorable. Isn't, Tali?" Liara asks Tali while she is petting his neck.
"Yes, he is." She answers her while she pets him on his right side.
"Ok then, how about we get you a tour in our city and place to rest." Naruto suggest them.
"Of course, Naruto. Ok guys, we have a have a shore leave for a day. Joker, you can tell the Normandy's crew about the shore leave." Shepard tells everybody.
"On it, Commander." Joker complies.
"Naruto, if you please." Hinata asks him.
"Oh, yes of course. Everyone, this is Hinata, my wife." He tells them while she says hello to them.
"This is Sasuke, my brother in arms and his wife Sakura." Sasuke just grunt a hello and Sakura says hello.
"Well then, shall we?" Shepard asks Naruto.
"This way please." Naruto said to them indicated the elevator.
When everyone is inside of it, Naruto press a button for the ground floor. And then elevator goes down.
"You said there are 5 breeds of this kubrow, Naruto?" Shepard asks him while she was looking to Kiiroi.
"Yes, there are 5 of them. You already know Kiiroi's breed, we also have the Raksa which their breed is made to be the perfect bodyguard, and per example the Lotus-sama's Kubrow is one of them. We have the Sahasa which their breed is made to be in search and reconnaissance. The Sunika's breed is made to be a war kubrow. And the Chesa's breed is made to be a hunting kubrow. When i got Kiiroi, he was an only 1 week old." He explains the kubrow's breeds to her.
"You really got him that young?" Shepard asks him.
"Yes, when I got him, he was a big ball of golden fur and a bundle of fun with happiness." He said to her while he scratch Kiiroi's right ear make him look at his master.
And then the elevator stops and opens showing a large lake with a single bridge across the lake.
They start to walk on the bridge towards to platform. When everyone is on it, a bubble starts to go around them. They were a bit startled and turn to look at the residents just to see them like this is normal for them make them to relax a bit. A small blue hologram shows up in front of Naruto in shape of a cube and asks him.
"Please, say your destination?"
"Honõ (flame) District, Sector 9, Ophis." He orders him.
"Of course. Estimated time 10 minutes." Ophis complies making the platform going up and towards the destination. Naruto then turns to them.
"In case if you are wondering. This is a trans-plat. And the hologram is Ophis, he runs all the trans-plat of Orokin." Naruto explains to them while the visitors were seen the view of the city. Seen all kind of people, like a group of children that they were been leading by man with a scar on the bridge of his nose, a bunch of people wearing all kinds of these strange armors and they are seen a bunch of kids playing some kind of sport with a ball.
"Naruto, I have to ask. What is this strange armor that you all are wearing?" Shepard asks him.
"Well, we call them Warframe. Each one of them is different from other. You have to be in tune to your Warframe and all of them have names like mine and theirs. Mine is a Loki Prime, Hinata's Nova Prime, Sasuke's Ash Prime and Sakura's Trinity Prime. In case if you are wondering about prime thing, is a enhance Warframe to its maximum." Naruto explain to her.
"And about this ball game those kids are playing?" Garrus asks him, talking for the first time that he came to this planet.
"Oh, that is Lunaro. All you have to do is carrying or pass the ball with your Arcata scoring in the opposite team's circle and the game has 2 halves of 10 minutes and each team has 3 players. There is game is going to show in our channels between Kaze (wind) and Mizu (water) tonight, if you want to see it." Naruto answers him getting attention of Wrex.
"It is full contact sport, right kid?" Wrex asks him interested to see the game.
"You have no idea, big guy." Naruto said to him giving Wrex a big hungry smile.
"Wow, it is almost like football in our planet." Says Kaidan interested while was watching the kids playing this lunaro game.
"Well, you guys can watch the game in my house, if you want to." Naruto suggest them.
"If is ok with you. What you think guys?" Shepard asks to her gang.
They said to her is ok too.
"Well guys, welcome to our home." Naruto said to them when the trans-plat starts to get down to it dock.
They see 2 huge houses next to each other, they are colored white with blue accents and they have huge black widows. They are single-story house with a small forest surround it.
"Wow, you have a beautiful home, Naruto." Tali said to him.
"Thanks, Tali-chan." Naruto tells her.
Then the trans-plat shut down the bubble, everyone start to go Naruto's house. When they get near the front door, it opens automatically.
"Lights and Windows, please." Naruto orders.
"Lights on and Windows clearing." An electronic voice complies when it turn the lights on and make the windows transparent just to see Kiiroi run through the window like crazy kubrow that he is.
"You guys get comfortable while we get out of our Warframes." Naruto tells them.
"Shepard, what the hell we will release in to our galaxy?" Garrus asks her.
"I don't know, Garrus, I don't know." She answers him while looks out the window just to see Tali and Liara playing with Kiiroi.
