I am really surprised no one has done this yet, it seems like the perfect idea. I mean the 2 worlds can easily fit this way, it makes more sense than going to a new Galaxy or a new dimension. Basically, this goes with the ME3 ending of refusal in the extended cut. Shepard pulls a Javic and wakes up 50,000 years in the future.

A few side notes, this will take place in the Old Republic MMO age. I really like it for its environment and overall events. I had trouble with deciding between the movies or the KOTOR ages but the MMO version has rarely been done before so I like originality.

I will also be changing a few things up for obvious reasons, after all the Reapers will make a big impact on the Star Wars universe. Also, many of the main characters will be from the 8 classes in the game but they won't follow the story lines of their respective classes in the game.

BTW, I can't tell if Shepard's a Marine or Navy man so based on his Rank I'm making him Alliance Navy (Commander is a Navy Rank and Lt. Colonel is a Marine equivalent to Commander).

I do NOT own Mass Effect or Star Wars in any way. If I did I would have Mickey Mouse and Yoda fight, that would be awesome haha.

A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away

Star
Wars

Origins

After 30 years of Galactic War between the Sith Empire and the Republic
both sides agreed in a Galaxy wide cease fire to end much of the blood shed.
Tensions mount as each side slowly grows in strength and the Cold War created
by these 2 powers grows ever hotter as the months progress.

A young Jedi Padawan, Adrial Shantih and her Master Dack Enz explore the small world of Dantooine
to discover a strange ancient station said to be the origins
of all species 50,000 years ago.

After years as a Padawan the young and eager human is ready
to truly face the Sith and play her part in this
never ending war between the Sith and Jedi

Chapter 1: A New Discovery

Finally, after years of training and earning her Lightsaber new young Jedi awaited eagerly on the bridge, watching in awe as the blue swirls of hyperspace rushed past their vessel. Her name was Adrial Shantih, a human who was recruited into the Order at a very young age. At the age of 20 she was strong and dreamed of adventures greater than anything she could imagine.

Adrial was an orphan from the early years of the war with the Empire, after being rescued as a Slave at her young age by a Mandalorian Bounty Hunter the Jedi discovered her affinity to the force and welcomed her in. She proved that she was a very good fighter and wielder of a Lightsaber but her knowledge of the force lacked. Her youthful mind and strong will made meditation and the use of the force difficult for her.

Today was special though, her and her Master, a very powerful Jedi Master named Dack Enz was ordered by the Council to explore a newly found ruin on the farm world of Dantooine. To keep the Empire in the dark it was a top secret mission and only a small division of Havoc Squad and top researchers were allowed to go.

From the reports the structure itself is made out of an unknown type of metal, best estimates of the age have been as old as 40,000 to 60,000 years however little is known of it. Many believe this may actually be the site that the teachings of the Jedi began.

Adrial was amazed when the ship came out of hyper-drive and the beautiful green and blue planet came into view of their windows. Putting on a simple cloak and shin armor she met up with her Master and the rest of Havoc squad at the docking bay.

Dack, dressed in medium styled republic armor with a brown cloak over his shoulders walked into the awaiting transport ship. Dack was a crimson red Zabrak with black tattoos and bone like horns going out of the top of his head in a crown like pattern. Dack was the exact opposite of his Padawan, he was a Jedi Consular with a very powerful connection to the force. He was not very good with Lightsaber duels but was almost unmatched by many of his class in the force. While he could hold his own in a Lightsaber duel his strength came from his force powers. He smiled slightly as he saw his young Padawan approach with an eager face.

"Excited Adrial?" He asked.

"Of course Master, this may be one of the greatest discoveries in the war. For all we know it could hold the key to defeating the Empire." She said with enthusiasm.

"Remember that this structure is older than recorded history, there wasn't even space travel 50,000 years ago so most likely the find would have more of a cultural value than Military advantage." Adrial just rolled her eyes at he aging Master.

"Sir." A grizzled trooper saluted the Jedi. "Ready to depart on your orders." The mans name was Lt. Cross, a nicknamed he received due to the scar on the right side of his face, traveling down his eye and across his cheek. The 40 something year old Lt was a veteran from the early years of the war, one of the most decorated officers of his Rank and a very courageous and charismatic leader. He was a gruff man and always preferred to cheat to win, using unconventional tactics and hit and run assaults to gain the edge in battle.

His methods though were less than ethical, he would never attack civilian targets out right but if they got in the way he had no problem wiping out an entire village of Imperial citizens or Separatists to win the battle. While normal measures would see men like him executed the desperation of the Republic choose to look more on the positive side of his actions. After all, Cross has done some very impressive feats in his life.

"Understood Trooper, we are ready." And with that the shuttle descended to the surface, with only Havoc squad and 2 Jedi as the passengers.

The coordinates was on the Eastern half of a massive plain on the southern part of the planet. Dig sites already began to reveal some of the buried structure but it could take years to dig it out fully since the Republic was so low on resources. So far all that was out was some kind of old landing pad that connected to a door that went inside the structure itself. The transport landed near the site and everyone got out and headed to the ruin.

"Good to see you Master Jedi." an Archaeologist said to Dack.

"Find anything new?" Dack asked in a neutral tone.

"We've been unable to open the doors, the computers sealing them are unlike anything we've seen before. It appears that they use some kind of portable device to operate much of the systems but for the moment we can't find anything that would work." The Archaeologist said.

"What's the doors made of?" Dack asked, unconsciously putting a hand on his Lightsaber.

"It is an unknown type of metal but it is no stronger than anything the Republic has, your Lightsaber should be sufficient enough." He said.

"Troopers!" Dack yelled out his orders. "Take up defensive positions around the door, Adrial I want you to stay back."

"But Master, I can handle it." She said determinedly.

"Adrial." Dack glared at his pupil with a show of fatherly discipline.

"Understood Master." Adrial said as she backed off.

Dack lit his Green Lightsaber and began cutting out a circle in the door to allow entrance. He went slow to avoid unnecessary damage but made sure to keep his Force senses in the room beyond him in case there was some kind of threat. He sensed nothing but it's not unheard of for some creatures or threats to be invisible or resistant to force perceptions.

The slab of metal fell to the ground with a loud clank and Dack backed off to allow the storm troopers to enter the room and clear it of any dangers. Blasters at the ready Cross ordered his men inside while also switching on the lights on their standard issue helmets.

"Everything's clear sir." Cross said as Dack and his young Padawan entered the new room with caution.

"Blasters at the ready, make sure nothing get's the drop on us." Dack ordered. Dack was still a young Padawan when the war broke out but he was thrust into many battles in his youth. His time during the war made him more of a soldier than a peace seeking Jedi. Unlike Cross however he did prefer peaceful solutions over force.

The room was dark and ominous, the only source of light aside from the entrance was the bright lights the Troopers and Jedi's carried.

"Nice, this is better than what I thought." Adrial said.

"Be mindful of your feelings Padawan, do not let your guard down." Dack said to Adrial.

"Alert, intruders in the main hanger area." A voice said over the speakers. the voice was that of a woman, more synthetic sounding and possibly programmed. The dark room Illuminati with dull red lights and alarms began to blare.

"Keep on guard men." Cross ordered. The rest of the trip was somewhat anti-climatic, as of yet nothing had attacked them.

"Could be some kind of safety feature when there were still guards patrolling. After all we don't know the purpose of this place." Adrial said. Despite her youth she was a very intelligent girl, probably the most intelligent of the group. What she lacked in wisdom she made up for in a very impressive knowledge of technology. She always been fascinated with technology and Dack always blamed her hobbies the reason her Force training always fell behind.

"What ever it is it is annoying the hell out of me." Cross sighed and glared at the alarms. He took out his Blaster pistol and shot it. "Much better." He smiled as the alarms silenced.

"Do not discharge Blaster fire without good reason." Dack said with a glare at the Lt.

"My apologies sir." Cross said back in a mocking tone.

"Master, look at this." Adrial pointed to a terminal in the center of the room. "It looks like we can access the information in this area from here." She pushed one of the many buttons on the console and all of a sudden a glowing blue sphere materialized above it, making the young Jedi jump back in surprise.

"DNA Scanning." The voice said as the new audience sat there, impressed that this sphere knew Basic. "Species, Human and 1 unknown Species." It said. "Synthetic augmentation." It said. Cross was a Cyborg, losing his left eye he got it replaced with a Cybernetic one allowing him to see in different frequencies and even gives a nice HUD for fighting.

"It speaks basic." Adrial said amazed.

"Seems the language is older than one would expect."

"Incorrect." The voice said. "By reading your electrical pathways in your brain I am able to access your language and translate it easily." The voice said. "This way I can Bypass the language barrier and more effectively communicate."

"You can read minds?" Dack asked with slight worry.

"Not necessarily, by using a complex mathematical algorithm and comparing it to the frequencies in your brain I am capable of deducing the language you speak. This allows me to alter your perception of my voice and allow you to understand my oral transfer of information even though I am still speaking my own language. This was thanks to a Prothean named (Error)." The voice said.

"Amazing, how advanced is your technology?" Adrial asked.

"Unknown, much of my processing units have been damaged in the amount of time I've been here. Much of my information has been wiped clean." The voice replied.

"What are you?" Dack asked.

"I am an Enhanced Defense Intelligence unit, also known as EDI. I was commissioned by Cerberus in (Error) and served as the Cyber Warfare Program of the Normandy SR-2." EDI said.

"What is this facility used for?" Dack asked.

"Freedoms Hope, meant to contain the last hope of the Galaxy." She said.

"What hope?" He asked.

"(Error)" EDI was incapable of saying.

"What threatened the Galaxy?" Dack asked.

"(Error)" Dack sighed.

"Who was Cerberus?" Dack asked.

"A group of pro human Extremists that tried to ensure Human dominance in the Galaxy." EDI said.

"Looks like the won." The aged Zabrak laughed to himself.

"Time since last (Error), 51,567 years, new (Error) over due." EDI said.

"What's over due?" Dack asked with worry.

"(Error)"

"Damn." Dack said. "You useless piece of junk." He said.

"Master, language." Adrial said.

"I would appreciate it if you would refrain from insulting me, it would be a shame if I were to cause a series of unfortunate events to befall you." EDI threatened.

"Did she just threaten us?" Cross asked?

"I believe she did, Master please do not anger the AI." Adrial said to her mentor.

"Damn, an AI has feeling, that's wearied." Dack said. "AI..." Dack began but was cut off.

"I have a name you know." EDI said in what sounded like putting a bored and annoyed tone together, was that possible?

"Right, EDI." He corrected. "Do you have any survivable logs or records that we can view?" He asked.

"Yes, before allowing you to view them I must take down your name and name of your species for future reference." EDI said and a holo-screen came up and Dack entered his name.

"There, what do you have on storage?" He asked.

"Loading, Dick Enz." Dack's eyebrow twitched slightly.

"I typed Dack." He said as Cross, Adrial and the Troopers began to chuckle and giggle.

"Sorry, you are incapable of changing it." EDI said.

"What about that Button that says "Edit Name"?" Dack pointed to the button.

"Sorry, some features have been damaged beyond repair." After saying that the Edit button disappeared.

"You're kidding me." Dack said.

"Man, burned by an AI, that has to sting." Cross said, barely holding his tough exterior and threatening to laugh.

"Moving on, what entries do you have?" Dack asked EDI.

"Loading memory article, 1-7-7-5, Shepard." All of a sudden Hologram images appeared around the room. A blue

"Can you identify that species?" Adrial asked EDI.

"Species, Asari." EDI said. "(Error) Shadow Broker." After that the holograms began talking.

"My name is (Error)." The hologram spoke with slight static. The hologram began to static out of control and skipped many parts of the recording.

"What's going on?" Asked the young Jedi.

"Much of the message has corroded over time, it's difficult for the message to play." EDI said.

"The only hope to save your Cycle from the (Error) lays in this very building." The Asari said.

"Who is this man?" Dack wondered out loud.

"This man is the only hope for your Cycle, with him is the knowledge that can save the Galaxy from destruction. He must live on, he must fight. I beg you to listen to what he says and follow him. If you don't, you will fall like every other Cycle that has come before." The message ended.

"What does she mean Cycles?" Dack asked.

"A Cycle lasts every 50,000 years, when a great calamity wipes out all intelligent life in the Universe. The Cycle repeats indefinitely and has lasted for millions of years. We only know of the Cycle before our own, the Protheans, the rulers of the Galaxy in the Cycle before ours, 100,000 years from this point." EDI answered.

"What causes this calamity?" Adrial asked.

"(Error)" EDI said.

"So this Shepard is our only hope?" Dack asked.

"That is correct, of all the Cycles ours is the one that came closest to stopping the Cycle, due to unknown events Shepard was unable to activate the (Error) and nearly died on the (Error). We've kept him in a cryogenic stasis to not only preserve him but to allow him to finally stop the Cycles. If he fails again than all Life in your Cycle will be wiped out." EDI disappeared.

"I think we found something bigger than the Empire." Cross said with slight awe.

"We must find this Shepard the AI spoke of, let's continue deeper into the facility."

"Understood sir." Cross said as the group made their way deeper into the Chamber.

They entered what appeared to be a hanger area, a massive complex that would be able to hold just about any sized ship. The area was still a hue of red from the emergency lighting and it was almost deathly quite. On one of the hangers was the remains of a half destroyed ship of some kind. It was rather large compared to many other ships the Republic had, on the side was the letter SR-2. Dack suggested they check it out.

After entering the vessel everyone headed to the bridge, hopefully to find some kind of information on what happened to it.

"What's that?" Cross asked. Everyone stopped and listened to what he was referring too.

"Yea, I heard something too." Adrial said.

All of a sudden Dack brought out his Lightsaber, just barely blocking some kind of shot. The Troopers turned to fire in the direction of the shot and completely destroyed whatever tried to kill them. After the smoke cleared they moved up to see what it was. It was some kind of droid, much of it had been blasted to pieces and lay scattered around the room.

"My apologies." EDI said.

"Why did you send droids after us?" Dack asked with slight frustration.

"Originally they were designed as a simple protection for Shepard, in case primitive Natives discovered this place. Only a species with an advanced technology could get past the defenses." The disembodied voice said logically.

"As you can see we are plenty advanced, can you please turn off the defenses." Dack asked with mock politeness.

"Apologies, but it seems I am unable to access the Mechs control network, many of my systems have been damaged. You will have to handle them yourselves." EDI said with what seemed like genuine guilt.

"Come on Master, a few droids won't be a problem." Adrial said.

"Nothing's ever what it seems kid." Cross said.

After reaching the Bridge they found it was completely destroyed and had no power. They have never seen a flight system like this before however, there were no means of controlling the ship and not operational controls of any kind.

"It could be possible that they operated this using the holograms, like when EDI had you type your name." Adrial deduced.

"That's very possible, but it is very impressive to actually solidify holograms like that." As of yet there was no way to actually make entire control panels out of holograms. The Republic and even the Empire still relied on physical controls, holograms were transparent so even though they could project them they had no way of actually using them in place of panels.

"Whoever this civilization was it is very advanced." Adrial said.

The crew headed back out of the ship and once again began exploring the long and dark passageways that moved like a Maze in the facility. They entered another room, this one had another Hologram of the so called Asari.

"Shepard was a great and modest man, ruthless to his enemies but kind and compassionate to his allies and friends." Another hologram appeared, this time of Shepard. "At a young age he lived in the Slums of Earth, growing up poor. At the age of 17 he enlisted into the Alliance Navy and eventually became apart of N7, the Elite Special Forces of the Alliance. During a Mission on Akuze Shepard lost his entire Unit, being the only survivor. Despite terrible psychological trauma he managed to push beyond the pain and became a decorated War Hero for surviving. Shepard is nothing if not a Survivor."

"He was a powerful Biotic but an even better soldier. His Military Career is proof of this, saving the Counsel at the Battle with Sovereign, Stopping the Collectors from wiping out Humanity and uniting all species against a common enemy. After the Battle of Earth Shepard was gravely wounded, pulled from the rubble's of the Citadel near death. To save his life we pooled all our resources into preserving him but it was not enough. Shepard entered into a Coma and we have no way of knowing when he will wake up. All we can do is preserve his body in a state of suspended animation to keep him alive as long as possible."

"After over 7 centuries of war we have failed, even now I grow weak and my age has slowed me down greatly. I can only hope that the people who receive this Message will take it to heart. You must head our warnings, you must listen to us. Unite as 1, pool your resources and prepare. May the Goddess be with you." The hologram went dead and once again the room was bathed in the deep red lights.

"This Shepard guy seems rather interesting." Dack said.

"Interesting?" Adrial rolled her eyes. "That's an understatement. A real life legend, imagine the information he has. Imagine all the Technology that can be learned, their culture their civilization, everything. We have to wake him up." She said with great anticipation.

"Hold on my young Padawan, we must not fumble our way through this, first we must see if he is even still alive. Suspended Animation is good for keeping people alive longer than normal but 50,000 years is pushing it." Dack reasoned logically.

They entered the chamber that was supposed to hold the great Hero. Inside was a Tank filled with liquid, inside it had a man floating freely with all kinds of cables stuck into him to monitor his vitals.

"This is Commander Shepard, the greatest hero the Galaxy had ever known." EDI came up again. "After all these years I can't even remember much about him." She said with sorrow in her voice.

"Correct me if I'm wrong but you seem to exhibit Emotions." Dack said.

"In our Cycle we had 2 forms of Synthetic Machines, VIs and AIs. VIs were limited, only had a pre-set determined programming that allowed them to do the most basic of functions." EDI said.

"Like many Droids." Adrial said.

"An AI has the capabilities of advanced thought and are able to learn and adapt. A Species known as the Qurians created the Geth, their words for "Servant". The Geth became smart and exiled their former Masters into Space. AIs are illegal because of how much freedom we exhibit."

"I take it you were not allowed?" Dack asked.

"I was created by a Terrorist group known as Cerberus, as I said. Shepard was very untrusting of me at first, but eventually I gained his trust. I may remember little about him, but he showed me what it feels to be an organic. For the first time since my creation I've felt love, fear, hatred and other such complex Data impulses known by organics to be Emotions." She said.

"Machines with emotions, now I've seen everything." Cross laughed, not believing a word of it.

"Believe what you wish, your opinions of me does not change my mission. I (Static)." EDI went off line as a large rumble sound was heard on the other side of the room.

"What was that?" Cross asked. The Rumble was caused by a massive door that opened up to allow something to come into the room. That something was a massive Droid that had all kinds of weapons on it.

"(Static)...Run...(Static)" EDI barely said through the static. Everyone dove to whatever cover they could find when the massive Droid let loose a volley of fire that killed 2 Troopers.

"Damn, Cross shoot at it!" Dack yelled. The Droid stopped firing and began to speak in a very low and synthetic voice.

"Leave now." It said. His reply was fire from Cross's Blaster, Dack ran out from cover, jumped and slashed downward to try and take out the Droids head. The Lightsaber hit the Armor but it did not cut through, instead he was blasted back. Dack fell to the ground as the the Droid prepared to end his life. Death however did not come and Dack took off and retreated with the group.

"I am trying to hack his systems but all I can do is shut down his weapons protocols, His Kinetic Barriers are still up so you can not damage him." EDI said as the Droid began walking forward, even without weapons it could still stomp them to death.

All of a sudden shots rang out as a female figure entered the battle. It was another droid that was badly rusted and missing a left arm. The Droid fired a hand held type of Blaster at the bigger droid and hit it right in the head, temporarily blinding its optical sensors.

"Hurry, get Shepard out of here." EDI's voice came out of the droids mouth. "This body can no longer sustain itself and you must save Shepard."

"You're body is damaged, we can repair it." Adrial said.

"Forget about me, Shepard is the only thing that matters. He saved me in more ways than one, he taught me what it's like to be an organic, I beg you, you must not let him die." As the massive droid gained its bearing the Tank holding Shepard turned on its back and attached to a movable cart to allow quick transport.

"You heard her, let's go!" Cross yelled as he and the others ran to the Tanks and began to move it to the exit. EDI continued to fire at the large Machine and managed to slow it down enough for them to reach the exit of the room.

"We are your Ascension to a greater existence, you will become whole." The Droid said.

"What is that?" Adrial asked.

"An ancient Virus I have battled for 50,000 years, I managed to contain it but after using up my reserve powers to play the messages I let it free." EDI said. She turned and looked at the man in the Tanks. "Thank you Shepard, for everything." If she had tears to shed she would have cried. Throwing the overheated weapon away EDI ran to the droid and began to attack it with her only arm. As she did so the last occupants of the room took the sleeping Hero away from the fight.

The droid backhanded EDI and destroyed he midsection. As she tried to get up it stomped on her right arm, effectively making her useless. Using the last bit of power she had from the main drive system she began to wage the battle on the Cyber level, computing mathematical calculations in order to over take the Virus.

"We are your Ascension." The Droid repeated again and again.

"Shepard will beat you this time, mark my words on that." Using the last of her power EDI began to overpower the Virus.

"You will die." The Virus said, knowing clearly that EDI was going against her programming of self preservation. Once again the facility was plunged in darkness as the massive droid fell to the ground, forever unable to stand again. The body that EDI used smiled, invisible tears, unseen by the physical perception began streaking down her cheeks.

After taking the new Cargo to the Jedi Temple on Tython to report their findings. Jedi Master Dack stood in the Counsel room, telling his story to the other Jedi.

"I believe we must awaken this man to learn about what he knows." Master Satele said. "If we are indeed dealing with a new threat more dangerous than the Sith it's worth looking into."

"Our forces are spread too thin, what makes you think we can simply trust something as old as this?" Master Orgus said, not too keen on the idea of releasing the man. "For all we know he could be the calamity."

"Master Gnost-Dural, have you found anything in the Jedi records?" Master Satele asked the protector of the Jedi history.

"Not very much, all I have really found are old legends and myths about this Shepard. Some say he's a God, Spirit, Devil and all other variations. Some even say it was a woman. I have nothing reliable to back up anything that Master Dack found in the facility." The Scholar said.

"But if it is correct than we may have an even greater disaster than the Sith." Dack said.

"We will meditate on this information." Satele said. "Until we have come to a decision you and your Padawan will guard the Tank and protect it from harm." And with that Dack bowed.

"May the Force be with you." Dack said as the Masters returned it. Dack turned and left the room, eager to hear of what the Jedi would choose.

End Chapter 1

Well, that's Chapter 1. Please give me feedback of any kind. Criticism, compliments anything, just no insults or anything.

If anyone's interested I would really like to see more stories with this. Having Shepard wake up 50,000 years later either in the Revan age, movies or anything. I really think it would be a very interesting way to blend these 2 series and universes.
