Return of the Angels; The Sorcerer, the Prince, and his Vassal

Some sort of introduction:

I want to start of by saying that "Return of the Angels" is a fan fiction idea that belongs to my sister, Alma Heart, and I have her permission to take these few characters and run with them, because they are awesome in my head.

As her fic, tho, I won't be going into the main story in this particular fic, tho I might have bits of it in the future if I'm lucky. This will confuse any reader a lot because you do not know the backstory and I do, and I am almost confused at times.

I will try to summarize the backstory enough to make this fic make sense, but not give my sister's story away. Any questions you can review me with, or PM me with, and I will try to address them on this first page with the rest of the summary. Now, I know you do not want to hear me ramble any more, so onto the summary.

This fic takes place 2000 years after FFVII, in the future (I know stupid, but I had to say it), we decided that it was 2000 years after Dirge of Cerberus, so if we ever decide to get technical about dates, we can, but right now we don't care. JENOVA has been trying, for a while, to get back at the planet, but it wasn't really working, since she just couldn't seem to resurrect Sephiroth. Needless to say, he has been resurrected, and Minerva/the Lifestream/Gaia responds by resurrecting a lot of the people who had been there the last time around. This is entirely based on our personal preference, so if you are wondering why Hojo, Hollander, Hildigger, President Shinra, Palmer, etc aren't here, that's why. Others we just don't know about.

In the present/future/now-in-the-story there is a new government that is successfully ruling the whole world. To bad we don't really like them. They upkeep their image by assuring the people there is no such thing as the supernatural, while trying their best to keep anyone from figuring out there are, in fact, supernatural forces unable to be controlled by the govt. Unfortunately, their belief is that they just need to figure out how to control everything and they'll be fine. Hence the arrival of the new generation of mad scientists and their assistants, who we don't get to know because we don't really like them.

The government has two levels of army, tho they are not called that, they are 'peacekeepers'. The regular soldiers and what would account to being SOLDIER 3rd and 2nd class are an organization known as ICEC (said ICE-C or Icey), which stands for InterContinental Enforcement Core. The elites of the army, often used for underhanded control tactics, body guarding, and the most dangerous jobs of regular peacekeeping, are the highly revered RENA, Reserve Elite National Army, the modern equivalent of the Turks and SOLDIER 1sts, tho significantly worse.

Outside of the government, an anti-government organization has sprung up, aptly named AVALANCHE, to which no one remembers the significance, besides, perhaps, it's mysterious founder. (if you can guess who he is, please ask us, and if you get it right, we will both give you a virtual cookie). Working from the shadows, but much larger than it's predecessor, AVALANCHE is able to work under the radar much more, because the government this time around has a much bigger responsibility, and things tend to get missed more easily.

Final note: No one remembers the events of Meteor, outside of a terribly incorrect children's tale, and so, no one thinks it bizarre that the characters are being born with the same names as their historic counterparts.

Oh!

Final final note: (really) This fic is made up of a lot of disconnected scenes at the moment, like my usual fics are, but I really want feedback on the scenes, so I intend to post them out of order and ask for feedback while writing scenes to fill them in. Then I will reorganize the scenes, but making sure to give the scenes their own names for locating sake. Please bear with me, but you will understand the need of this when you see how awesome Reeve is and when I finally get the time to write up the Robo-Slime scene stuck in my head. :P

!Thank you and please criticize. :P (please point out all the wrong things, not just compliments, tho I can't say I don't want those)!
