Don't Own Mass Effect

Reverse Effect Endings

1. Worst Ending –little to none Loyalty missions done, no Aria side missions, no Illusive man side missions (Reverse Effect 2), no Illusive man missions done (Reverse Effect 3), No Saren missions done, got the lowest war asset ratings on Thessia and Rannoch endings, and did poorly with war assets in general.

In Sentry's fight against Shepard, Shepard gains the upper hand. She kills Sentry, and then finishes off his crew. Outside the Revolutionary fleet is losing with Sentry's low war asset rating, even Sovereign's advanced technology can't save the battle. With no one left to stop her Shepard finds that the Crucible is ready and activates it. Across known space the Prothean indoctrination and augments are given to every sentient being. But Shepard's victory is short lived; the Sentinels arrive moments after the Crucible turns on. They try to bring order to the situation but are fired upon by everyone. The Sentinels know that the Council races are now beyond saving, so they move forward with the only possible action by cleansing all Council life from the galaxy. The Citadel tries in vain to repel the Sentinel attack but are no match. Shepard at last realizing that she has doomed this cycle can only watch as the Sentinels advance to the Crucible to destroy it.

2. Second Worst Ending- Same as above but Sentry got a slightly better war asset rating, and did more of his loyalty missions.

In Sentry's fight against Shepard he wins. Sentry's victory however is bittersweet. Outside the Revolutionary fleet is losing to the Citadel. Sentry has enough time to destroy the Crucible controls to insure it can't be fired though. Sentry then, with his remaining crew makes a last stand against waves of Citadel reinforcements. After Sentry's death the Sentinels appear at the battle of Earth, they see that the Revolutionary Fleet has been decimated leaving no one to stop the Citadel. The Sentinels judge that because the Citadel will negatively influence the greater universe the Council races should be "devolved". Humans, Quarians, Salarians, etc are all struck with genophages. As the populations shrink the Sentinels put the races back on their home worlds, and remove their technology putting all races at hunter gatherer status (the Geth are kept at close watch by the Sentinels). Over the thousands of years the past becomes myth, and is mostly forgotten. The final scene closes as a future spacefaring human archeologist contemplates how it is odd that every culture of every race have figures known as the Sentry and the Shepard in their mythologies/religion.

3. Perfect Galaxy United Ending- Thorian spreads spores, Convinced Rachni to stay, Fifth fleet destroyed, original Council spared, Udina survives, Asari secessionists quelled, Leaugue ally at end of Reverse Effect 2, Nyreen leader of Omega, Batarians get help defeating the GHA, Wrex leader of Krogan, Asari rebels pro revolution win, Sentry must complete Reverse Effect 3 Saren missions/sided with him at the end, and have a high war asset rating.

Shepard is defeated by Sentry, as his crew regains consciousness they see that outside the Crucible that the fighting is at a ceasefire. Sentry gets a transmission from Saren that without the Crucible and the inevitable defeat of Citadel fleet by the superior Revolutionaries Hackett has surrendered the Earth. Around the galaxy the remnants of the Citadel get ousted from power on their planets, within a few years the Citadel Council is history. From the ashes of the Citadel comes a new government that includes all races as equals and holds freedoms and Liberty at the highest regard. Old national lines blur, the concepts of governments for each race fades away. In the coming decades the Sentinels come to congratulate the old Council races on their change, in return the Sentinels open up more relays that link the new government with the rest of the greater galaxy. In the future Sentry is shown either in retirement with his friends or if he has a love interest with grandchildren.

4. Perfect Galaxy Separated Ending-No Thorian spores, Rachni allowed to leave, Destiny Ascension destroyed, original Council killed, Udina killed, Asari secession allowed, League not ally at end of Reverse Effect 2, Aria leader of Omega, Wreave leader of Krogan, Batarains attack GHA by themselves, Asari anti-government rebels win, Sentry must complete Reverse Effect 3 with all of the Illusive man missions done/sided with him at the end of Reverse Effect 3, and have high war asset rating.

Shepard is defeated by Sentry, as his crew regains consciousness they see that outside the Crucible that the fighting is at a ceasefire. Sentry gets a transmission from the Illusive man that without the Crucible and the inevitable defeat of Citadel fleet by the superior Revolutionaries Hackett has surrendered the Earth. With the Illusive man as the new leader of the revolution he announces that there will be no new Citadel Council, all races will decide for themselves what they want to do now. Across every world the old Citadel Council remnants peacefully give up. Galactic unity gives way to an era of species individualism, where each race gets the freedom to do as they want as long as they don't interfere with others. At first many believe wars would break out from this wave of individualism, but the actions of Sentry have made people look to more peaceful solutions when conflicts arise. In the coming decades the Sentinels come to congratulate the old Council races on their change, in return the Sentinels open up more relays that link the new government with the rest of the greater galaxy. In the future Sentry is shown either in retirement with his friends or if he has a love interest with grandchildren.

-Endings 5 and 6 are the not perfect version endings for 4 and 5. In these endings Sentry did not get all of the check offs for a perfect ending but did lean towards either Galaxy unified/Galaxy Separated ending.

In the non-perfect endings everything is the same except for that the battle of Earth continues for days because Hackett refuses surrender. The Citadel remnants still plague the galaxy for years. Saren/ the Illusive man get mixed to positive results when implementing their version of a post revolution galaxy. When the Sentinels arrive in the coming decades they decide to wait for a while before opening up the more relays.

7. Sentry was able to get the Illusive man and Saren argument to end peacefully choice in Reverse Effect 3 and chose it. Sentry also made varied choices throughout all of Reverse Effect and had a high war asset rating. (Getting the Illusive man/Saren argument to end peacefully, but making mainly Galaxy united/Galaxy separate choices will result in a 5 or 6 ending).

In the final ending choice a whole new Citadel Council is created but with aspects of both the Illusive man's and Saren's beliefs incorporated. The new Council works better than the old, and all races decide to join. Basically Sentry created the Mass Effect galaxy, like the perfect endings the Sentinels open up more relay's so that the Council can join the greater galactic community. Before the final image of a retired Sentry with family the game shows Sentry, the Illusive man, and Saren all together for an anniversary of the Revolutionary victory on Earth.

Reverse Effect is finished! It was a long road for my first ever story, and I'm really happy I got to end it well. Probably going to be doing some more Mass Effect after this, but I think that for me the Reverse Effect universe is done.

As I've said before this universe is open to anyone who wants to create their own Sentry or use the story outline I made, just write down somewhere I wrote the original story.
