It was the summer of 2500, and Zion one of the most loved angels fell out of the sky and lands in Los Angeles in someone’s backyard. Everyone in heaven knows if an angel falls out of the sky he loses his memory, to prevent an angel from telling everyone about heaven so they won't lose their faith. Even though an angel loses their memory they don't lose their powers. Angels rarely fall out of the sky, but when an angel does it's usually the devil having something up his sleeve. Zion is 3000 years old, but he doesn't appear to be that old. He is ageless and looks like he is 25 years old. Zion is about six foot one, muscular, looks Puerto Rican and is very handsome. Zion was personal friends with Jesus before he was crucified. The people that where very jaundiced wanted Jesus to be dead. So Zion makes all people who are jaundiced punish. The owner of the house just comes home from work and sees Zion laying in the back yard. At first he gets scared he thinks Zion is a burglar then he sees Zion is hurt. The owner walks up to Zion," Excuse me sir are you ok?" Zion doesn't answer, so the owner carries Zion into the house and lays him down on the sofa. A few minutes later Zion wakes up and sees the owner of the house. "Who are you?" Zion said. "My name is Joseph, who are you and how did you end up in my backyard?" "I don't remember?” Zion said. "Do you have anywhere to go?” Joseph said. "No, I don’t?" "You are more then welcome to stay here until you find a place to go, but you have to find a job?” Joseph said. "Ok but where will I work at?” Zion said. "My buddy owns a shop that makes portable cars, he should let you work there and it pays $600 a day?" "Ok, can I start tomorrow?" "Yes, first thing tomorrow morning." Joseph and Zion went to bed and when morning came Zion realized that he had no clothes to wear. Joseph took Zion shopping and while he was shopping every person he looked at he saw all the bad things they have done in their life. When Zion got to the cashier he went over his life and saw the cashier had killed a man so Zion got mad and the building started shaking and Zion punched the cashier throw the wall, and Joseph not knowing what’s going on yells at Zion, "Sir! What have you done! Why did you do that! How did you do that?" Zion looks at him with hostility in his eyes, "I did it because it was what needed to be done." Joseph, confused, questions Zion, "What are you talking about? That man did not deserve that. He was just a man trying to make an honest living." "Maybe, but he has killed a man, too!" "How does u know that?” Joseph said. "I don't know I just stared at him and I saw him killing a man in my head, and that vision was, too real for it not to be true." "There is more to you that meet the eye, I just don't know what" "I think so too, Joseph" "It's almost time to go to church, do you want to come?" "Sure lets go" Zion and Joseph arrive at this beautiful Methodist church in downtown L.A. and as soon as they go inside Zion has flashbacks of Jesus and when he meets him. Suddenly Zion falls his memory comes back. "Are you ok? Joseph said. "Zion my name is Zion and I must get back to heaven" "Ok Zion well the only way to get to heaven is to become saved and live by the Bible and die" "No, I am a..." Zion stops knowing that Joseph wouldn't understand him or believe that he is an angel. "Are you ok Zion" Joseph says creped out. "Yes I am ok, I'm fine" Later on, Zion and Joseph are going home after church and they are walking home and are passing by many people, and Zion reads every one of their minds. Except one, Zion notices this stops for a second and takes a quick glance at the man, and the man looks back and just smirks at him. Zion tries to go back but a rush of people pass between him and the man vanishes. "Zion, come on. We got to go home" Joseph says. "I thought I saw... Never mind, come on" Zion tries to convince himself that he did not see the smirking man. But to no avail, he did indeed see a unique figure in that crowd. When Zion and Joseph get home, Zion sits Joseph down to have a serious conversation. "So what’s wrong with you now Zion?" Says a worried Joseph. Zion looks down at the ground for a minute, as if he lost his train of thought. "Zion!!! You're scaring me!!" Screams Joseph. The silence was starting to scare Joseph. But then Zion speaks. "Remember that incident with that man I punched?" "The cashier?" asked Joseph. "Yes and when you asked me why I did it. Remember that?" As soon as Zion asked Joseph did he remember, Joseph saw a shining in Zion's eyes. "Well Joseph? Do you remember that part!?" "Oh, oh yes! I mean it only happened today! You never did explain yourself." replied Joseph. "What I am about to tell you will be hard to grasp, it will be hard to understand, it might even scare you." Joseph was not sure if he should tell Zion to continue with what he was about to say. He thought Zion was going to say something crazy like he was a mass murderer or some other type of criminal. Little did Joseph know, he was wrong, he should have guessed crazier. "Joseph, are you a believer of Christ?" Now when Zion asked this, Joseph was scared out of his mind. Now he thought Zion was the Antichrist or a radical follower of Lucifer. Again Joseph would be wrong; he should have guessed him to be more pure. "Of course." said Joseph, as he gulped a big puddle of spit down his throat. "Well what would you do if I told you that I knew that man?" 'I'd have to say you are a crazy man! How could you possibly know Jesus!?" Joseph at that point thought the worse was over, but since he didn't believe Zion, Zion decided to prove it. After some thought, Zion figures out a way to persuade Joseph. "Joseph, I can prove it." "Well then, do so!" yells a rude Joseph. "Every angel can look someone in the eyes and look at their whole life and determine if they're an all-around good or bad person. Look me in the eyes!" Joseph agrees in belief that it won't work, but what comes out of Zion's mouth next will forever stay in Joseph’s mind forever. "Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, you've had a hard life. Your mom died when you were seven, and you never knew your dad. Rose by 10 different foster families who all seemed to lose custody of you because the man of every house you've lived in didn't like you and beat you." Joseph fell down to his knees, with tears forming and his hands shaking. "How.......how could you possibly know all of this!?!?" says Joseph. "I am an angel. Straight from Heaven, and apparently I fell down here to LA." said Zion "The City Of Angels.....the old saying really is true." said Joseph "What saying?" asked a confused Zion "LA, is commonly referred to the City of Angels, because of the things that can happen here." "Well I guess the title can be taken literally now!" joked Zion. "Listen Zion, I’m sorry for not believing you. It's not every day you find an angel I your backyard!!!" Zion nods his head and says, "It's okay Joseph, apparently this kind of thing doesn't not happen down here, so I shouldn't have expected you to believe me so quickly." Joseph laughs a little, and then yawns. "Zion, I’m getting tired. I'm going to bed, but you can sleep on this sofa, it's super comfy!" "Oh okay, I guess I’ll go to sleep to." says Zion. After they say goodnight, Zion falls into a deep sleep. In a dream, the same figure that smirked in the crowd was standing right in front of Zion. "Who are you!?" "The names Damien, one of Satan's right hand people." "SATAN! That must of been why I couldn't scan you!" said a frightened Zion. "Listen, you wonder why you fell from your beloved Heaven?" Having nothing else to say, all Zion could do was nod his head. "You were betrayed. Someone was supposed to come down here for some reason, that reason I don't know. But what I do know is that if you go back, you'll only be in for a world of trouble. Fallen angels can't go back. Period." Zion was speechless, he was so scared, that he just took off running, but he was going nowhere. He ran and ran and ran, but Damien's voice kept echoing in his head. 'Fallen angels can't go back. Period." "No.....it can't be true.....no...NO!!!!" yelled Zion. "No what Zion? It's just time to go wake up!" said Joseph. Joseph woke Zion up from what Zion thought was a dream with no ending. "Joseph, what are we doing up at 8:00?" "We got to go to church. For a personal session with the pastor, if anyone can help you, he can." "Good, I need a way back to Heaven" "I hope you find one" "What church are we going to?" "It's the same Methodist church from last time" "Who is the preacher?" "Pastor Jenkins preaches there and he is a well respected member of the community, plus he has been preaching for 30 years" "Yeah...I think he should know about this unique situation." "Do you think that he would believe us?" "Well if he is a true pastor then he would believe us, but if not I will do what I did to make you believe me." About 20 minutes later they arrive at the church to meet with Pastor Jenkins. "Hello" said Pastor Jenkins 'Hello, what a day that the Lord has made, let us be joyful, and be glad in it." "Yes Pastor it is a good day, but I am in serious need of your help Pastor." "Well what is that you need Zion" "Well this is the problem, I am a fallen angel from heaven, and I have to find away to get back" "Ooohh I see" "Yes, Pastor is there anyway that you can help me get back to my Lord." "Well I do have one thing that can help you." "WHAT IS IT!”? "It is the book of God" "You mean the Bible?" "Yes, Zion" "Well how will that help me?" "Well the book of God will steer you in the right direction whenever you encounter a problem on your journey, but you also have to believe in yourself." "Ok Pastor Jenkins, you are the one with wisdom, so I will take your advice and take the book of God and continue on my journey. Thank you." "You are welcome Zion, and have a safe journey, I will pray for you." "Thank you again Pastor Jenkins" After asking the Pastor for help with his unique problem Zion continues his journey. About 2 days of travel Zion decides to rest. While Zion rests in the fields a black serpent comes to Zion. The serpent all of a sudden turns into Damien. "I will not let you go find a way back to heaven!" Damien said. "Yes, I am prepared to fight" Zion said. All of a sudden Damien rushes towards Zion and tries to punch him ,but Zion quickly moves and grabs Damien’s hand and throws Damien 500 feet inn the air. As Damien is in the air Zion has this golden arrow come out the sky and as Damien comes down Zion shoves into Damien's heart. Since Damien is hurt Damien tries to teleport back to hell but every time Damien arrives to one second later he arrives back on Earth. “What type of arrow is this?” Damien yelled, while in unbearable pain. “It is a special arrow I mad up before I went to church, since I am the angel of sight, before I went to church I had a feeling that I should create an arrow and put holy water on it” “No, not holy water that is my only weakness” “I know and now you will die and not be in my way as I try to get back to heaven.” A few moments later Damien dies. After the battle Zion goes to Joseph’s house and reads the Bible, like Pastor Jenkins told him. While Zion reads the Bible he has a memory of the secret portal on Earth that can get you back to heaven. The portal is the Lakers locker room, but it can only be used by an angel every 1,000 years. The portal is only open for 5 days and it closes tomorrow at 12 o’clock. Zion thinks how can get into the Lakers locker room without being noticed. Zion tells Joseph about his dilemma. “Joseph, I need a way to get back into the Lakers locker room.” Zion said “For what?” Joseph said looking confused. “There is a portal back to heaven in the Lakers locker room, and I need to get to it before 12 0’ clock tomorrow.” "Well my cousin works at the Staples Center and he could sneak us in tonight" "Ok that would be great!" Joseph drives him and Zion to the Staples Center where they meet Joseph’s cousin. Joseph’s cousin name is Gerald, and Gerald is a custodian at the Staples Center. “Hello, you must Zion” Gerald said. “Yes, I am and I just want to thank you for helping me on my mission” Zion said thankfully. “Joseph tells me you are a good person so I am glad to help a good person in need.” Joseph and Zion go to the Locker room and all of a sudden Zion starts praying and one of the bathroom stall start shacking and glowing. “Well, Joseph that’s is my way back to heaven and I just wan to thank you for letting me stay with you an helping me finding a way back to heaven” “No problem, just put in a word for me with God” Joseph said smiling. “No problem well I hope I see you someday up there.” Zion said “You will” Zion made it back to heaven and told God everything that happen but of course God being God he already knew what happened. As for Joseph he died six months later from a fatal car accident, but he did make it to heaven. Now Joseph, Zion, and Jesus all hang out in heaven. No angel has fallen out of heaven since Zion and that is a good thing. They all thought they lived happily ever after but everything isn’t how it seems.
