Research log #579

It's been over one and a half years ago since the last activation of the device, though the magical signature hasn't changed it seems... weakened, to such a degree that the re-activation is impossible.

As described in the notes of research log #249 any attempt at providing the device an artificial source of magic to power failed, the device simply needed more energy than even the combined magical power of both Princess Luna and Celestia were capable of providing. You must be wondering now, I've already described these circumstances in previous logs so why bring it up now?

Simply said I'm out of options, every attempt of reactivating the device have failed and I'm only left with a single choice. I'm going to have to reverse engineer the device in an attempt to understand the mechanics with which it operates...

...At the risk of maybe never being unable to reconstruct it later.

I'm so sorry Fluttershy, I never should have involved you or any of the girls in the exploration of this structure. I hope that if we ever see you again you can find it in yourself to forgive me.

In the true sense of Mass Effect, this story will be CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) giving you the reader the choice to decide the action of our protagonist.

I hope you enjoy!

When Twilight Sparkle finished Starsweral's spell to fix her friends she did not expect to become the new Princess of Equestria. When the magic hit her to form wings Twilights life flashed before her eyes. Images of her friends, her accomplishments, the adventures, their pains.

But why was she seeing other things, stuff that Twilight couldn't explain. Things that looked out of this world. Creatures that didn't exist in Equestria, beings and technology not from this world.

And why did they keep calling her Shepard

This originally was supposed to be a full AU but forgot about it back in 2016 when I made this. So now I'm offering it up to anyone who want's to take the challenge.

Act I: Maretropolis
Katy has been through a lot in her life, being treated like a nobody, but now that she's in a brand new world full of talking ponies, she wants to make a name for herself, but she keeps getting showed up by a group of heroes called The Power Ponies, but also by a young man who claims to know her. And to top it all off, she was labeled a vigilante and is wanted by the Maretropolis Police Force, but that isn't going to stop her.

This is the story of how she became Equestria's greatest hero.

Commander Shepard was ready to sacrifice her life to destroy the Reapers, so she was quite shocked when she didn’t die, but awoke in a mysterious forest. Without knowing how she got there, she was stranded on a distant planet. There she met a new species: The Ponies. A kind people, who offered her help to get back to council space. But what exactly happened to the universe in Shepard’s absence? A new danger arose on the horizon ready to extinguish the one, who defeated the Reapers, and everybody she loved.

The Commander has a lot of titles, and a lot of different names. Hero, monster, killer of the Council, savior of the Citadel, first human Specter. One name is definite between all; Shepherd.

Equestria is a peaceful world, one yet to even reach space travel. Yet, even a galaxy away, they are still affected by the defeat of Sovereign. They don’t know it, but they need not just a symbol, but a warrior.

Deep in the Void, the makers of the Reapers conspire to make an endless cycle of destruction within a universe to secure energy.

All shall be thrown into conflict together. Shepard will either lead a new flock, or let them be devoured by the wolves.

This is a crossover between Mass Effect and MLP:FIM. Some liberties have been taken in interpreting the end of the third game.

Commander Shepard, saviour of the universe multiple times, arch enemy to the Reapers and the greatest hero ever... or was she? How many Shepards failed and how many succeeded? Who went paragon and who went renegade? Who did right by the universe and who did wrong? Who betrayed his friends and who saved her friends, and who is the real Shepard? Was she male or was he female? Did Shepard love someone or not? And will Shepard ever find out, stuck on a primitive alien planet far away from home with hundreds of other Shepards yelling at her in her head? And to top it off she has become one of the aliens AND she has got a Reaper AI in her Omni-tool.

Can Twilight and her friends fix this broken woman, and find the true Shepard? Or are something's to broken to be fixed? And more importantly do they want to?

Set sometime between Equestria Girls and Season 4(You decide!)
