This is a Independence day Mass Effect cross over that I had been working on for six months but then I found out that Independence day Resurgence was coming out so I put it on hold then decided to just publish the chapter since this is going to be an Alternate Universe and a Humanity Fuck yeah story. I love Independence Day and remembering going to see it with my father when it came out in 96. I know that there happen to only be two cross overs as of right now (which will probably change come June 24th).

This Shepard will be female and named after David Levinsons ex-wife from the movie Constance Spano.

I don't own Mass Effect or Independence Day. I only own my OC's, I am also not doing this for any monetary value. Well enough about that on to the story.

With the attack of 1996 and again twenty years later, Humanity had learned to always be cautious when dealing with anything alien. Never again would mankind be surprised and brought to the brink. Reverse engineering the alien technology Humanity rebuilt their planet and went on to colonize their solar system. One discovery on mars would open up the galaxy to a cautious yet powerful Humanity.

Chapter One: History and Enlistment.

"Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind; that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 4th of July and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice: 'We will not go quietly into the night!' 'We will not vanish without a fight!' 'We're going to live on!' 'We're going to survive!' Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"- President Thomas Whitmore

"Who can tell me what purpose President Whitmore's speech served?" The twelfth grade teacher asked their history class.

One feminine hand holding a pen rose to be called upon.

"Yes Constance?"

"It was to rally the surviving military personnel and civilian volunteers just before the counter attack on not just the city destroyers but the alien's mother ship."

"That is correct Shepard. Can anyone tell me why they needed volunteers?" The teacher asked trying to get another student to answer.

"Who cares it's not like the aliens will come back after we destroyed their second invasion force." Kaidan Alenko said looking smugly at the teacher.

Constance turned around in her chair and yelled at the idiot. "It's important to know and it ties in to why it is mandatory for everyone to serve in the military and receive some form of flight training. Be it hover craft, star fighters, or star ships."

"Shepard is right once again Alenko. The reason why they needed volunteers was because they had plenty of planes but no pilots to but in them since militaries the world over sent entire wings(1) against the city destroyers only to lose a majority of them to enemy fighters."

Alenko blushed in embarrassment then glared at the back of Shepard's head.

"Now let's continue with today's lesson!"

Later that day Constance was walking home when she was shoved from behind and knocked on to the ground. Looking up she saw Kaidan glaring down at her, "What the fuck was that for dick head?"

"What the hell were you thinking yelling at me bitch." Kaidan said getting ready to kick Constance in the stomach. He soon buried his foot into her gut drawing a pained gasp from the downed girl.

Gasping in pain Shepard grabbed Kaidans foot and pushed him off balance and away from her. Standing while using her left arm to hold her stomach she began to walk way only to have Kaidan attacked her again this time kicking her in the knee causing her to fall.

"Don't you walk away from me slut."

Now there are a few things that Constance would let slide calling her a bitch was fine but calling her a slut was just not something that she'd allow. "The fuck did you just call me ass dandruff?"

"I called you a slut you deaf cunt."

That was the final straw; Shepard slid her pack off of her back and set it down. Before she could look up she heard Kadian stomping towards her and decided to close the distance and bury her knee right into the seventeen year olds groin. She then let go of his neck and grabbed his well taken care if hair and drove his face into her fist that was free at the moment breaking his nose and drawing a yelp from that target of her anger.

Kaidan was shocked that this petite girl had actually managed to land a hit on him. A painful hit to the nuts at that. Before he could recover he felt Shepard get a grip of his hair and bring her other fist crashing into his face breaking his nose. Yelping Kaidan tried to break the girls hold on his hair only to have her yank back on it and actually rip out a chunk.

Constance looked at her hand which was holding a tuff of the class pretty boy's hair. "When the fuck did this turn into a chick fight?" she asked no one in particular. "Fuck it" she then charged at Kaidan. Surprising the bastard she tripped him using a leg sweep and then drove her knee into his back between his shoulder blades. "Now leave me alone you feeble minded foul festering anal hampster."

"Get off of me bitch." Kaidan said trying to get up only to receive a punch to the side of his head. When he finally felt Shepard's weight remove itself from his back he got up and limped away mumbling that this wasn't over.

Shepard grabbed her pack and continued to walk home arriving twenty minutes after she had beat Alanko for insulting her. "Mom, dad, I'm home you guys going to take me down to the recruiting station so I can sign my papers?"

"Yeah just a second" came her parents reply.

Moments later Mr. and Mrs. Shepard came down to the first level of their house dressed in their uniforms and smiling at their daughter.

One Year Later

"Enough with this clam bake ladies. Get moving the aliens won't wait for you to finger fuck your boyfriend's ass hole.

"Yes Ma'am" the training platoon yelled in response.

"Get moving muffin top, get your fat ass in gear and over that wall. How you could have become a lard laden cow in this day and age blows my fucking mind."

Shepard stopped running to help said recruit only to get yelled at by the Drill Instructor.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing ranga(2). Leave her if she can't get her fat ass moving then she is dead weight only good for use as a distraction or a suicide run."

"Ma'am if we learned anything from the invasions it's that Humanity needs to stand together. That we are only as strong as our weakest link, we need to work together to strengthen each other and show the rest of the galaxy that humans are no push overs and that we will fight to the death for the right to live." Constance then turned and continued to help up her fellow recruit not noticing the grin on the Drill Instructors lips.

'This one is going to go far' the D.I. thought to herself. "Stop fingering each other and get moving you two."

"Yes Ma'am" chorused the two recruits.

ESD Base
Area 51

"Admiral, Mars just radioed in that they found an abandoned base of extraterrestrial origin."

Admiral Wes looked at the soldier that had just given him the report. "Is it from the first invasion?"

"Negative sir these ruins are much older and have an unknown element in them."

"How much older?"

"According to them it is fifty thousand years old sir." The soldier then stopped and frowned. "Say again all mars I did not copy." After a moment he looked up startled by what he had heard. "Sir that base sent out a signal that seems to have activated something in the orbit of Pluto."

"Shit, bring all forces to full combat alert, have second fleet deploy and investigate." The Admiral then turned around, "Notify the Alliance that we have possible enemy combatants inbound."

Orbit of Uranus
Ariel Moon
Second fleet HQ

Humanity had rebuilt two of the original city destroyers before the second invasion had taken place. Both of which had been destroyed before mankind had won the day by the skin of their teeth. After the second war the ESD had set about to create humanities own space fleet capable of going toe to toe with the aliens. This resulted in many different ship designs some of which resembled the city destroyers, and others that resembled star destroyers minus the superstructure from an old science fiction movie called star wars. Other ships resembled the USS Daedalus from another scifi genre and that class was ironically called the Daedalus class and utilized as a battle cruiser. Keeping with the tradition of using old scifi genre's to design star ships the ESD authorized the production of Carriers that took their designs from a popular video game and designated it the dawn class.

Admiral Kastanie Drescher entered the briefing room shortly after the alarms had woken him up. "Will someone shut off that fucking Klaxon I think we get the message that it's an emergency!"

"Aye sir"

"Now what the hell is going on?"

One of the Admirals aides handed him a tablet with the report from earth about mars base discovering ancient alien ruins that sent out a signal activating something in orbit of Pluto.

"Get the fleet moving we're to investigate whatever the hell happened since we lucky few are the closest to the problem." With that the Admiral turned and left the briefing room heading towards the bridge of his flag ship.

I did have more of this chapter that was deleted when my computer crashed before I could save it and I can't for the life of me remember what I had written. So I will end the chapter here and work on the second chapter if this story is liked.

1. Wing- equivalent to a Brigade.
2. Ranga- Derogatory term used towards redheads.
