Heero Yuy slept. Suddenly, in a dream, he found himself in a large square chamber, its roof as high as it was wide or long. The walls ceiling and floor of the chamber where covered in pure gold. Staring around the chamber, he noticed at one end, to his utter Astonishment, the fabled and nigh forgotten Arc of the Covenant, the "mercy seat" of God. Upon the gilded artifact, a ball of fire and light, the Shechinah Glory of the Elohiem, danced and flared. Heero heard himself speak aloud or did he just think it, he could not tell "where am I
The ball flared until the light filled the chamber and a voice boomed out, the voice of God himself, "you are within the holiest of holies, Inner Sanctum of the one true God"
Heero upon hearing the voice, fell to one knee and then doubled over in pain He cried out in anguish, as the piercing sensation of something tearing out from the hollow between his shoulder blades coursed through him. His mind reeled from the shock, and he screamed in pain. The pain grew until it felt like he was going to burst asunder, his whole body ached and he was barely conscious. Then suddenly, with a last powerful burst of pain, the burning stopped, and Heero passed out.
When he came to, he slowly opened his eyes, and gasped, for in the refection in the gold he saw four snow white wings upon his back. He stuttered in shock "I'm a … a … a …"
An angel, the chief of my archangels actually," the voice of God replied, "you are Michael, captain of the angelic hosts, soul mate of the archangel Gabriel--whom you know as Relena--, keeper of the sword of the spirit, and guardian of the faithful."
Heero stood his mouth hanging open in utter shock, non-the-less he was able to respond to the words of God, "are you saying I am an actual angel? Why am I on Earth?"
The ball of light spun, and Heero slowly began to see the image of a goateed man, sitting in a shadow filled chamber. As Heero watched, God spoke, "Gendo Ikari … he is a man of dark ambitions. He and his men have recovered the Sepher Yetzirah," the image shifted to that of the vast yetziran tables, "he is convinced that he has uncovered the keys to my Kingdom. His arrogance has blinded him to the truth, he has in fact, uncovered the key to the 'Dragon's prison.'"
"Dragon's prison?" Heero asked
"you don't remember, but I shall explain" God Responded, "before earth was made only myself and the angels existed. Twelve of them I appointed as Archangels. Michael, Gabriel, Azrael, Serael, Azzeal, Cherubael, Saichael and Arirael remained faithful, but Baal, abadon, Beelzebub and Lucifer rebelled against me. For a millennia times ten of human years the angelic war raged, until on the eve of the creation Lucifer, and his followers where cast out of heaven in to the outer darkness by your own hand."
With that Heero woke to find himself in his own bed, his wife Relena lying asleep beside him. Just as he had decided it had all been just a dream, the glint of the dressing mirror caught his eye. Turning to face the glass, he gasped in disbelief for he saw the double set of Snow white wings not only on himself, but upon Relena's back as well.
"Well" he said "this is going to get interesting"
