A/N: Hey all, this is my first attempt at an epic length Fan Fiction, the title for this story 'Street Angel' comes from the general Asian term for children that have been abducted and forced into prostitution. I'm twisting the definition, my definition for a 'Street Angel' as read about in this story is 'a child who is taken from their family and forced into an indentured status' I figure that covers both prostitutes and our boys. One day almost a year ago, my friends and I were having a Prophecy movie marathon, and I asked myself, "I wonder, what if it was all real, what if god did send his angels? What if, it was GW?". I'm hoping that this story will be longer than the ones that I generally write, so you may wait longer between posts, but as before the more reviews I get the faster I'll write and post. Oh on a final note, I don't speak Japanese, I'm learning and practicing with word application in FanFic's is practice. Sorry but this isn't the sequel to "Naishin Juubun Gunsotsu" I promised, that story is on hold for lack of inspiration. It is an Epic. Let me know what you think ja ne?
CREDITS and DISCLAIMER: This story is mine, I admit to taking inspiration and a few lines from the Prophecy movies, but I don't own the rights. I don't own our bishounen GW pilots either, or anything else you think you may recognize anything that I have borrowed it fully admitted to. However I do use some of my original poetry, said poetry won't be cited, while poetry that belongs to someone else will be. So please read and enjoy, content in the knowledge that *puts on Richard Nixon mask* I am not a thief *waves and pulls off the mask* Now on with the show....
If God Will Send His Angels - By: U2
Nobody else here baby
Nobody else here to blame
No one to point the finger
It's just you and me and the rain
Nobody made you do it
No one put words in my mouth
No one here taking orders
When love took a train heading south
It's the blind leading the blonde
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
Hey if God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Will everything be alright
God has got his phone off the hook, baby
Would he even pick up if he could
It's been a while since we saw that child
Hanging 'round this neighborhood
You see his mother dealing in a doorway
See Father Christmas with a begging bowl
Jesus sister's eyes are a blister
The High Street never looked so low
It's the blind leading the blonde
It's the cops collecting for the cons
If God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
Well if God will send his angels
Will that make it alright
Where do we go
Where do we go
Jesus never let me down
You know Jesus used to show me the score
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it's hard to get in the door
(Angel)
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
But I guess it's something to go on
So where is the hope and where is the faith
And the love...what's that you say to me
Does love...light up your Christmas tree
The next minute you're blowing a fuse
And the cartoon network turns into the news
If God will send his angels
I sure could use them here right now
Well if God would send his angels
And I don't have to know how
(Where do we go)
And I don't need to know why
And I don't want to promise
(Where do we go)
'Cause I don't want to lie I just want to need you
(Where do we go)
Tonight
Love... So light, so night, by your door
Do take my hand by your door
So light, so night, by your door

Doreen Valiente – An excerpt "The Charge of the Goddess"
"...Keep pure your Highest Ideal; strive ever toward it; let naught stop you or turn you aside... For I am the Soul of Nature, Who giveth Life to the Universe: from Me all things proceed, and unto Me all things must return. And before My Face... thine innermost Divine Self shall be enfolded in the Rapture of the Infinite... For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning...."
Every man, woman, and child in the world, has an angel from birth whose sole purpose is watch out for their best interests and guide their paths. What of those not born to this world? What of those few imprisoned by God in human bodies? Who looks after those not of the earth? With high expectations, humans have left the Earth to begin new lives in space colonies. The United Earth Sphere Alliance obtained great powers and seized control of the colonies in the name of peace. In the year After Colony 195, there was an attempt to reclaim lost autonomy made by rebel factions, a decision to launch Operation Meteor to counter the Alliance's tyranny, bringing new weapons to the earth disguised as shooting stars. These weapons were as much the machines as the soldiers who operated them.
So it was that the five Angels fell from the starry heights, Princes of Heaven no more, falling to begin a bloody conflict for unity, a war with the two Princes of the Earth. The seven clashed mightily, most battles ending end with a stalemate, until the Dragon Prince fell the Prince of Dignity with one regretted move on that eternally cold battlefield. In heaven the number seven is significant, the seven tribes of Israel, The seven sealed scrolls, The seven vials/bowls, the seven Angels of Armageddon, and of course the Seven Archangels. When the number of Heavenly Princes was reduced so unexpectedly, the winds of fate shifted, and the threads of the delicate tapestry of destiny were forever changed. Things that were never meant to be, came to pass, and the actors were once again in place for their final performance. An encore that should never have been, with players that should have made their exodus long ago . . .
Whispers - (An original poem) By: PLR aka. Tanrei Kouen
(This is what a citation, or cite looks like)
We wait for you, in endless anticipation
Fighting, we won't lose faith
Heaven is set a flame, and we battle still.
On a raged breath, we make the vow,
Fighting the fall from grace.
An awesome wound torn wide open
The battle at its peak, we fall on bended knee
The end so near, who would care
The cry goes up, our eyes clash together
A caress of fear and despair,
We wrench apart and our swords cross again
Fighting the fall from grace.
An eternal battle that has worn us thin
Frayed at the edges, friends become foes
A battle where even winners lose all hope
Tears in our eyes, we don't know why
The battle continues on,
Fighting the fall from grace.
Voices whisper of the days to come
When one dreary night
Our salvation will come
A man born on the wings of prophecy
A soul with no need of redemption
There will be no need to keep
Fighting the fall from grace.
Time fades, passing, seconds, minutes, hours,
days, weeks, months, years, and centuries
Blending one into the next, Heaven has become Hell
We have nowhere to look, as our strength fades
How long will it be until we can stop
Fighting the fall from grace.
With little care, we struggle on
Feinting and bating, the eternal dance
Thrust, parry, dodge, and recover
The war in heaven still burns hot
Fighting the fall from grace.
Lightning chases and plays like children
That undescribable dance across the battlements
Always burning in the back of our eyes
Although I love him, and he loves me,
The struggle rages on, and we keep
Fighting the fall from grace
Somewhere far away, the cycle continues
We are reborn, only to battle once again
Swords to guns, to thermal sabers and scythes
Is how you and I are to spend our mortal lives
Forever, even without the wings, we keep
Fighting the fall from grace.
Awaiting the day, as the whispers say
When our salvation will be reborn
And with the wings of prophecy
He will shelter us from destiny
And we will no longer be forced into
Fighting the fall from grace.
The wait will end, as the thunder rolls
The greatest of wounds will mend
We will no longer be worn so thin
We will no longer struggle on
Fighting the fall from grace.
A/N: Okay so it's a sucky-ish teaser, but if you liked "City of Angels" the "Prophecy" movies, and GW, you'll prolly like this. Also if you search under romance in the Gundam Wing archives, I'll be posting my fan-poetry, along with any updates regarding the release of "Sutori-Toenzeru".
