The Narutimate Biotic

Summary: What if Jane Shepard was not the only one Lawson was working on in Project Lazarus?

Chapter 1: The Original

As Jane Shepard ran through the corridors of the research base in search of Lawson, she tried to organized her mostly jumbled thoughts.

She recalled that a mysterious ship had attacked and critically damaged the Normandy while they were investigating reports of Geth sightings. Shepard ordered all hands to abandon ship and had managed to shove Joker into the last survival pod before their mysterious assailant returned to finish the job. The ship's subsequent destruction had breached her suit and sent her flying out into the cold, hard vacuum of space and the last thing she saw before blacking out was that she was falling towards a planet.

After that, she vaguely remembered briefly regaining consciousness a few times seeing a beautiful, raven haired woman's face. But her next fully conscious memory was waking up in an unfamiliar location on top of an operating table to the sound of an alarm, explosions and a female voice who was urging her to wake up. The woman identified herself as Miranda Lawson and had informed Shepard that she was Project Director of Project Lazarus. A covert program which she said had been organized to revive and strengthen her.

This threw Shepard for a loop. She was dead? But then again, getting spaced with a breached suit and falling towards a planet's atmosphere DID sound fatal no matter how you looked at it.

Afterwards, Lawson directed her towards a locker which contained an N7 armor and a heavy pistol. And as Shepard gears up and checks her newly acquired weapon, the Project Director briefed her on the current situation, telling the female warrior about the rogue defense droids on the warpath in the station. And if the droid which attacked her in the operating room was any indication, than Shepard needed to find Lawson and get the hell out of here or else it will be a very short revival for her.

Luckily, she was making good time with Lawson's directions. She had to hand it to the Project Lazarus personnel, whatever they did to her body made her feel stronger and faster then before. And even if she was still a little stiff from being inactive for so long, the instincts and skills which made her the first human Spectre was still there.

But as she passed through one of the laboratories, something inside the chamber catches her attention.

"What the hell is this?" Shepard mutters, looking up at a large, clear vat connected to a complicated array of machinery which encompassed almost the entire room.

And floating in a fluid inside the clear vat, dressed in a similar jumpsuit that Shepard had on when she woke up and with sensors attatched to his body as well as an oxygen mask on his face was a blonde haired man with what seemed like whisker-like markings on his cheek.

But before the Spectre could ponder the mystery of the man floating inside the vat, she hears a loud crash from behind and finds herself face to face with a large, heavily armed bipedal mech.

Shepard stares at her pistol than looks up at the mech which brandished it's weapons at her.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me!" She cursed, diving for cover as the mech open fired.

…..

How long has he been like this? He honestly couldn't tell because he didn't even remember how he got here in the first place.

What he DID remember was fighting a gigantic monster alongside others in a losing battle. Than the death of one of his closest comrades made him snap and lash out uncontrollably, laying waste to the entire battlefield and ALL it's participants save him with his power.

After which, he was deemed too much of a threat to their world yet too dangerous to dispose of in the normal fashion so they did the next best thing.

They sealed him away.

He had been so grief stricken with his actions that he did not resist. And so he was sealed away and slept a dreamless sleep till he regained awareness one day. Since than, he has been drifting in and out of semi-consciousness and each time he did, he could tell even in his current condition that something changed inside him though he seemed unable to do much.

He was once again brought back to semi-consciousness by explosions that he could hear even from wherever the hell he was. Slowly opening his eyes, the man could see a running battle between a large mechanical being and a much smaller, feminine looking figure.

For some reason, his eyes was drawn to the second figure. The sudden whip of it's boarderline crimson tresses suddenly reminded him of another person who was dropping dead after being fatally injured. It forcibly brought out a memory which he had tried to forget and feelings which he had long supressed.

Suddenly, he had to get out of his prison. He HAD to help her somehow. He forcibly commands his muscles to respond as he reached down inside himself to take control of a power that had for too long been unused. Marks began appearing on his body as he starts to glow with unrestrained power even as he whispers a name.

"Sa...Ku...Ra..."

…...

Shepard knew she was in a bad way.

She may be one of the deadliest soldiers in the galaxy but there was no way in hell that she'd be able to take on a security mech that size with just a heavy pistol before she gets ventilated. All she COULD do was hunker down behind cover and pray that the mech runs out of ammo or gas. Preferably both simultaneously.

But as she furiously thought of a way out of her predicament, the vat which contained the blonde man gave off an unearthly glow and the liquid inside literally started boiling. A few moments later, a gigantic, glowing claw bursts out of the vat and smashes the mech over and over till it ceased functioning. After which, the claw receeds back into the vat before the blonde man who had been floating inside stumbles out while holding his head.

"Owww... That was harder then it should've been. I am SOOO out of shape." He mutters before he suddenly realizes something and frantically starts looking around. "Sakura! Where are you?"

Shepard didn't really know who this Sakura person the man was refering to but if she had to guess, he had mistaken her for someone else.

Her theory was proven true when the man's eyes rested on her and she could see the dismay reflected in those cerulean orbs. Nonetheless, he managed to hide his dismay rather quickly as he spoke with the Spectre.

"Are you alright miss? You're not hurt are you?" The blonde man asked.

"I... I'm fine." Shepard answered, feeling rather flustered for some reason. "Thanks for the assist Mister...?"

"Uzumaki Naruto." The man identified himself. "Would you mind telling me exactly where we are, what we're doing here and why that thing was after you?"

"We're in a space station of the Lazarus Project which is supposedly tasked to resurrect me. That mech that attacked me was part of the station's security complement but they've gone rogue for some reason." Shepard said. "That power you had? Is that the reason you're here? Because you need help controlling your biotics?"

Naruto frowns as he considers her words and formulates a response. "I'm not exactly sure how I know what you're talking about but to answer your question, I don't even know how I got here. Besides, trust me when I say that this power I have is NOT something that ANYBODY can just learn to control, miss...?"

"Commander Jane Shepard of the Alliance Marine Force." The lady Spectre provided as she mulled over his answer. "That's another thing we're going to have to ask Lawson about. Since I'm on my way to look for her, why don't you tag along? You might want to go grab a weapon or something though. The security mechs tend to be a little persistent."

"No thanks. I'm good as is." Naruto said as tattoo like markings starts appearing on his arms, torso and legs just as his entire body ignites with yellow, biotic flames. He then gives a shocked looking Shepard a feral grin. "Let's go look for this acquaintance of yours, shall we?"

The two than continue their search for Lawson. Along the way, they meet up with a dark skinned man who identified himself as Project Lazarus's security chief Jacob Taylor who mentioned that he was on his way to assist an engineer named Wilson.

Deciding that they probably needed all the help that they can to get out of this alive, Shepard and Naruto decided to assist the security chief. But as they met up with the stricken staff member who started trying to explain his situation, Naruto suddenly lunges at Wilson with a swirling, blue ball of energy in his hand which struck the engineer, sending him spiraling away and impacting against the far wall with a sickening crack.

"What the hell man!" Jacob yelled as he raised his assault rifle and aims it at Naruto as he slowly backs up towards Wilson to check his condition. The odd angle of the engineer's neck was a clear indication that the man was already dead. "What the fuck do you think you're doing? You just killed an innocent man!"

Shepard also found herself backing away from her newfound friend and trained her pistol towards the blonde's general direction in case he also turns on her. But Naruto seemed oddly unperturbed by his actions.

"I apologize for surprising you." Naruto said before gesturing towards the dead Wilson. "But I have reason to believe that this is the man who betrayed you and was also planning to kill us. So I beat him to it."

"You killed Wilson because you BELIEVE he was trying to kill us?" Taylor repeated angrily. "What kind of idiot do you think I am?"

"It's hard to explain but both of you have to trust me on this." Naruto said calmly, raising both hands palm up to show he meant no harm as he reverts back to normal. "Knowing when people harbor malicious intent is part of my abilities and I can tell this guy wants to kill us. He wouldn't have that intent if he was on our side."

"He is absolutely right." A new voice cuts in. All three looks towards the source of the voice which was a hauntingly beautiful, raven haired woman in a form-fitting, black and white jumpsuit holding a pistol of her own. She walks towards the fallen engineer and studies the dead man with an expression of distaste. "Wilson was the one who reprogrammed the security mechs and was planning to kill everyone in the station. I would have killed him myself if he didn't."

Naruto looks at the woman suspiciously. "You don't seem surprised at what I did." He stated. "Who are you?"

"I'm Miranda Lawson. Project director of Project Lazarus." The woman replied. "And I SHOULD know you. You were the basis of studies made by Cerberus about humanity."

"What are you talking about Lawson?" Shepard demanded.

"What I'm saying is that this man…." Miranda points at Naruto. "….Is the very first human biotic."

Author's Notes: A new story for you guys. I WAS going to update Agent Of Shield but I somehow deleted what I wrote and had to start from scratch. Hope you enjoy this story though. As usual, R&R please.
