Prologue
Air, Fire, Water, Earth. These are the elements that I will learn to become a Guardiankeeper. Very few Gatekeeper Guardian leaders can be one. I still have my second team since Phobos, the King of the Old Ones, won't come out the Meridian Gate for a final battle. This gives me time to master all the elements. However, Phobos sends out chi-blockers and revives Trevor back to life. He has the ability to take away our powers. This will be a tough fight against them.

Chapter One: Guardiankeeper
Jen was sitting on her bed while designing an outfit for herself when she becomes a Guardiankeeper. Her black bangs covered one of her eyes so she couldn't see that someone was coming. Her boyfriend, Nick, jumped onto her bed next to her, scaring her.
"Ahh!" screamed Jen. She quickly formed an electric ball in her hand since she was a quintessence guardian.
"It's just me!" Nick shouted. He didn't wanted to get hit by Jen's lightning.
"You scared me. Don't do that or else I will hurt you accidently," said Jen.
"I know you wouldn't," Nick replied while hugging her. "So are you designing more clothes?"
"Just for a Guardiankeeper," she showed him what she had so far. She forgot that he didn't know what a Guardiankeeper was.
"Who's that?" he asked.
"Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you," she got up and showed him a book that she found in the Library of Secrets. The title said Guardiankeeper in big bold words. Nick skimmed through it while Jen continued explaining. "A Guardiankeeper is when a guardian leader masters all five elements. What I don't get is why it has to be the leader. But since Phobos won't get out his cage, I have time to learn all the elements. It's being the Avatar but with lightning as an extra element."
Nick closed the book. "And you believe you are one of the special leader to become a Guardiankeeper," he said while raising his eyebrow.
"Well, I am leader twice. Also, the council did mention that the Heart shined really bright on me."
"I can see that," he agreed.
"All I have to do know is convince the council to let me be one and my team to train me."
"Good luck with that," Nick knew how strict the council can be and how much Jen was uncomfortable with her teammates.
"Thanks. I'm going to finish this later," she put her sketchbook away. "I'm going to the council now."
"You're not going to stay a little longer with me?" whined Nick as he laid on her bed.
Jen was at the door already. She laughed a little, knowing what he meant. "Maybe some other time," she winked. Then she left. Nick also exited afterwards.
Jen walked out of her mini one-story house. Other similar houses were next to her. The ground was mostly gravel with a few trees. The sky looked was sunny but her vision of the scene had a sepia color to it. She was in the Dream World. It was the world that keeps the real world in balance. The only people known to be in this world was Jen's first team and the council. Her second and current team was also there to visit.
Once Jen arrived to the council's office, she saw him and her second teammates. They were discussing about Phobos' future plans.
"Ah, Jen," greeted the council. "Nice of you to join. I see that you know about Guardiankeepers."
"Yeah, I came here to ask if you allow me to be one according to your strict rules."
"I've been considering about it. You know that I consist of the past thousands Gatekeeper Guardians. The only reason that I make the guardians use their primary powers more than secondary is so that the gate can be kept closed longer. I mixed up the fact that Phobos could open the gate faster with the overuse of secondary powers because they were actually the primary powers in the first place. He adapted to the elemental powers."
Jen facepalmed, "Alrighty, then. Can I be a Guardiankeeper or not?"
The council laughed, "Sure, I believe that you can be one from the bright light of the Heart. The question is that if your teammates will be willing to teach you." Both of them looked at Peter, Alan, KK, and Rishuv.
Everyone except for Peter agreed right away. Peter was still hesitant because he knew that she will get more arrogant and annoying, showing off her powers."
Jen made a puppy-dog face at him, "Please, Peter."
Regardless of her expression, he eventually said yes. He thought about the other times that Jen brave leadership that might be have a better outcome.
"Thanks you guys!" exclaimed Jen.
"I would start training now before Phobos plans to attack suddenly," advised the council. They nodded at him. So Jen made a portal to the real world from her necklace, the Heart of Kantarkar. They went through the portal, leaving the council with high hopes.
Meanwhile, Phobos created a team of 15 chi-blockers who can disable the guardian's powers for a period of time. Their leader would be Trevor, a former spy to deceive Sam who was a previous guardian. But he had to revive him since he died from one of the final battles. Trevor was still breathing but very slowly. His face was burned and body all bloody. Phobos applied some special powers on him too. Finally awake, Trevor got up and looked at himself. He was masked and a flexible battle suit. Then he bent his waist to bow, "Thank you, King Phobos."
"I have given you the power of speed and the ability to take away the powers of a guardian."
"Why don't you have that power, King?"
"I am a mere dark gas whose job is to cover the world in darkness. Those powers are only effective to a being like you."
Trevor nodded. "So you want me to take away the powers of the guardians?"
"Yes, Jen has a new team. I want you to especially take away Jen's powers if you are able to do one."
"Yes, my King," Trevor smiled. "It would be a pleasure."
