Prologue

The 14 Gatekeeper Guardians have reunited and declared Kylie as their official Princess. While Area 5 flourishes, Jen and Kylie go on a new adventure with their friends discovering about the future. Two young girls from the future arrive at their time. A "fairy" and a "fallen angel" will influence the present guardians. Phobos, the King of Chaos (or at least he said he is), wrote stories of demons that can come to life from the book "Nightmarium." The guardians will face their past enemies and protect the future. Lastly, what the guardians thought their title Gatekeeper Guardians meant is not what it actually seems.

Kylie's team: Kylie, Jacob, Austin, Dennis, Kyle (22-years-old)

Jen's first team: Jen, Nick, Will, Packard, Sam (19 – 21-years-old)

Jen's second team: Kenny, Alan, Peter, Rishuv, KK (21-years-old excluding Kenny)


Chapter 1: Purple Roses

A week has gone past after sealing Phobos back into the Oblivion Gate. Everyone is healed up and building Area 5 as peaceful town soon to be filled with many people. Jen and Kenny were sitting together in a field full of colorful flowers but mostly purple roses. They were her favorite flowers and Kenny promised Jen to take her to a place with them. Even though Kenny betrayed her, Jen was able to see Kenny's true love for her and believed in second chances. However, she did not want him as a boyfriend just yet, not until he proved once more in the Grand Bending Games coming up.

Jen has gotten used to the feeling of having a crystal full of elemental powers inside her body. During a huge battle with Phobos, the Heart of Kandrakar went inside her to give her more power. She noticed that it now acted as her life source almost like the body structure of Iron Man. From the experience of Kenny stealing that power from her, she had to be more careful. Kenny has the same structure. He has the Dark Midnight Heart inside him that Phobos gave him. But since he used the Jen's energy to open the Oblivion Gate and gave her his dark power to heal Jen, Kenny is only left with a little of his own dark energy to keep living but with no powers. However, Jen does not know how the dark energy will affect the Light Heart of Kandrakar. A mystery that Jen hopes won't give her later consequences.

Jen looked like Chinese American girl who had long black hair in a ponytail and bangs. She wore leather clothing such as leather vest, pants, and boots. She loved wearing long fighting gloves made out of soft fabric.

The Guardians have nymph like wings but now they learned how to fly without needing them and got rid of them from their transformation. But Jen decided to keep them for Kylie and Jen when they go into their Guardian state for nicer appearance.

Since the Guardians did not age anymore, Jen was stuck as a 20 year old person. She would have been about 40 years old by now. Phobos also gave Kenny the ability to not age. He was 5 years older than Jen. But in reality, he was way much older. Kenny was a white guy with emo black hair style that covers one eye like how Jen's bangs sometimes does. He wore a blue and red gi and a necklace that Jen recently noticed.

"I never seen you wear a necklace before," she pointed out. His necklace was the symbol of Skyrim, a dragon with a diamond border.

"I usually wear them. I have a bunch of them, just never wore them during training so it won't get in the way," he took it off so she can feel it.

"So cool!" she exclaimed. As she inspected it, she asked, "Do you believe dragons exist?"

Kenny smiled, "They do. I've seen them myself in Phobos' little world."

Jen's head shot up, "Really!? I have to see one someday. I guess it makes sense that they exist since dragon slayer magic exist as well."

"Someday you might. The Dream World is full of surprises that we don't know what it has."

"True," she gave the necklace back to him. "How are you working with the other Guardians?"

Kenny used to be a guardian many years ago. But he turned to the dark side with Phobos. For many years he has been with him, and the rest of the Guardians don't know if they should trust him even if Jen does. But they eventually agreed to have him stay over their place since he didn't have powers.

"It's been alright. No one except Kylie and Peter really talks to me. Nick still keeps giving me this look. I think I'm getting better with Austin and Rishuv," he replied. Nick used to be Jen's girlfriend for a long time. To have his girl be stolen by someone like Kenny made him very depressed, but he has been trying to move on.

Jen nodded, "That's progress. Soon they'll trust you more after we win the Grand Bending Games."

"I hope," he mumbled.

Jen stood up, "Let's go back. I think Kylie is hosting a big meeting to talk about the current issues." They flew back to Area 5 which was a few miles away. Jen felt really good to be back home after the recent battle with Phobos and fightning alongside with Kylie. She had been gone for 20 years to recover her powers. The results ended up meeting up with Kenny, her first team going missing because of trying to find her, and the Natives of the Dream World to think of the Guardians as a myth. The Dream World and Earth are two identical worlds that in harmony together. But the Dream World is the main control of Earth's peace. So Phobos' motive of getting to the Dream World was this reason to control both places. However, no one knew why the Dream World existed in the first place. Was it where the first Guardians were born? Did good and evil begin here? Are there more worlds like the Dream World? They will be answered at later times, but some things that the Guardians have been wondering.

Jen and Kenny arrived back to Area 5. They entered the main building where they all met up for the meeting. A round table was in the center and everyone else was already there.

Kylie stood up from her chair, "Hey Jen and Kenny! Just about time, we were about to start." She was a white girl with very long, black braided hair. She was short but strong and cute. She wore a blue and purple gi and was a year older than Jen.

"Great, let's get started." Jen and Kenny sat in their seats next to each other.

Kylie pulled out her notes, "In my agenda, I wanted to discuss about the system room, government, our powers, Phobos, and a surprise in the end. First let's talk about the system room. I've done some inspection on it and come to the conclusion that…" she paused for a moment.

"that what? It's basically O.P. (overpowered)?" Jacob asked.

"that it's fake." Everyone was shocked to hear this. They couldn't believe it since it correlated to lot of things.

Jen quickly asked, "Then what about our immortality? Inability to age? The different clothes design for our transformation?" Kenny was also quite confused since he secretly went in to disable their immortality. Not even Phobos knew it was fake.

"I found the book of the coding for the system room. I couldn't understand it but in the end it had a warning that the system didn't work." She grabbed the book from her bag and proved it to them. Jen remembered using that book to help give them the inability to age and accidently immortality. But apparently she did not do anything. "We may or may not be immortal. But I don't think we are since Dennis, Nick, Sam, and Jen died before. But I don't have an explanation on the aging and clothes."

"It probably has something to do with our origin. We'll have to do research on the Guardians' past," suggested Dennis.

"I just wanted to point it out, so no one better use it. Might as well, rebuild it to something else," Kylie said. "Next, the government business. Jen and I decided that I should be Princess because of my bizarre transformation in the last fight. Jen would act like a General. Then the rest of you guys are my advisors. So it'll be half monarchy half democratic."

Peter leaned over to Kylie, "Does that make me the Prince?" Kylie and Peter were married for a little more than 10 years.

Kylie patted his head, "Sure, but I have more power over you still."

"Fine by me!" he shrugged. The rest were okay about this idea. But since they were friends, they might as well work something out.

"You don't have to call me Princess Kylie all the time though. I still want to be treated just like best friends," she said. "Then we have to discuss about our primary and secondary powers." Each Guardian had an additional power from their elemental power. It's what made them unique from the Natives who also have elemental powers. The airbenders had telekinesis; Firebenders had healing magic. Kenny was originally a firebender before becoming a Guardiankeeper (one that has all the elemental powers) so he had this too; Waterbenders and earthbenders had mind control and telepathy. It sounded like a really useful power. But it cannot be used on demons like Phobos and his minions, or the chosen Guardians; Jen and Kylie were originally just had the power of quintessence or lightning with weather manipulation. Now Jen, Kylie and Kenny were Guardiankeepers after training. They say that only the one with quintessence can be a Guardiankeeper since that magic can only be given originally. So that meant only the girl in the team of five who was also the leader can potentially be a Guardiankeeper. But not every girl in the team can be one.

Going back in the past of how the cycle flowed, there were four chosen boys and one chosen girl on Earth. They could come from different areas of Earth and had to unite. The girl was said to be leader with quintessence magic. They wore the crystal Heart as a necklace and could only transform their team. Their job was to seal Phobos into a gate for a long period of time before he escapes again. Good and evil always exist so they could not figure out a way to actually destroying him.

"What about our powers do you need to talk about?" asked Packard.

"Well, I thought it was something we should bring up to mind. We know our primary powers are our elemental ones. But do we ever use our secondary powers besides healing magic?"

"Meh, we'll use them when we remember them or have to," replied Will.

"Okay, fair enough," Kylie went on to the next subject. "Let's list some of Phobos' powers so we can try to find his weaknesses." They shouted out different powers that they knew he had. Kenny participated the most since he was with Phobos the most. They came up with the following:

1. Ability to turn into gas or an Egyptian human cat

2. Flying ability

3. Black Magic

4. Create demons through stories and summoning them

5. If he has the Light Heart, then he has elemental powers

"Wait, he creates demons through books?" asked Jacob.

"Yeah, it's a kind of black magic. Anyone can learn how to summon them but creating the book and making sure they can be alive in the first place is an inherited power. I learned how to summon them and each time gave me more dark energy. With the dark energy, I was able to have the Dark Heart in me. That's how I became a Guardiankeeper."

"Interesting," Jen replied. "Now how about his weaknesses?"

"I had no interest before to know his weaknesses but I believe a very powerful light or dark magic might work."

"Or you're just trying to hide his weaknesses," Nick added.

Kenny looked back at him, "I'm being serious. I know how powerful he can be. But I know if you guys can combine your powers in a way, you might be able to defeat him."

Jen looked at Nick and shook her head. Nick turned his head away.

Kylie then asked, "Kenny, do you know why he needs our crystals when he can already form his own dark ones?"

"Manipulating both good and evil is the supreme advantage. He wants to control both and form a powerful magic out of it. He also thinks that it can control the Dream World and Earth." They now understood why.

"Well, that's all I have to say. Any questions?" Kylie concluded.

Jen raised her hand, "Where's Giru?" Giru was a small spherical robot that could fly. It sometimes pops out its tiny arms and legs that could be replaced with weapons. He had one big eye. He was able to bring back the memories of Kylie's team after they had amnesia. No one knew exactly how he was created but the council guy did. The council was a man with former guardian spirits in him. He was the supervisor of the Guardians and guided them. But Phobos killed him so they were left on their own to find more secrets of themselves.

Kylie replied to Jen's question, "Giru said he had to reboot himself for a week. It's like hibernation for him."

"Didn't know the robot needed hibernation," she giggled.

"I guess that's all. Thank you for coming!"

Everyone left while Jen and Kenny walked out together. Once they were alone, he asked Jen, "When will I get my powers back? I'm going to need them for the Games and to practice."

"Oh yeah, hmm. I'll have to talk to Kylie about it. But it'll definitely be some time before the Games." What Jen was more concerned about was if the others were going to be okay with it. They need one person of each element to give him his powers back. Fire wouldn't be enough since he had the Heart inside him which is fueled by all the elements. It was still bright outside so the two continued to walk together around Area 5.
