Prologue

There were three recent teams: Kylie's team with Jacob, Austin, Dennis, and Kyle; Jen's first team with Nick, Will, Packard, and Sam; and the current team of Jen's second team with Alan, Peter, Rishuv, and KK. Each person was given specific powers such as quintessence, air, fire, water, and earth. These special heroes and heroines are called the Gatekeeper Guardians. Jen has mastered all the elements and became a Guardiankeeper. The Gatekeeper Guardians' mission is to seal Phobos, the King of the Old Ones, into a gate. Phobos plans on stopping the cycle of teams and steal the Heart of Kandrakar. Will Phobos get his way, or will the Gatekeeper Guardians stop him?

Age Ranges:

Kylie's team: 22-years-old

Jen's first team (including Jen): 19-21 years old

Jen's second team (excluding Jen): 21-years-old

Part 1 – Chapter 1: Evil Strikes Again

Previously on Gatekeeper Guardians series: *Flash Back*

Meanwhile, in Phobos' lab, the King of the Old Ones knew what happened to Trevor but didn't care. He was worthless to him from the first test. He was busy making his own plan the whole time. After some research, Phobos was able to get his gaseous body into a human Egyptian cat body. Also, something unfortunate for the guardians. "I finally know now. After thousands of years, I have the answer of how to end the Gatekeeper Guardian cycle." He laughed evilly in the end.

*End of Flash Back*

Phobos went to his library to find characters in books that were known for elemental powers. Going to the right shelf, he found three teams who were perfect for the job: Team Aang with Azula but without Sokka, Team Korra with Tenzin, and the Red Lotus with Kuvira. They all came from the Avatar world. Phobos performed a spell that could revive characters from books. He was going to make them his minions to defeat the Guardiankeepers while he went on with his own plan.

The King of the Old Ones finished bringing them to life. They're eyes glowed red with a dark aura surrounding their bodies. They bowed down before their King. "King Phobos, how may we serve you?" the benders said.

Phobos smiled, "I need you to kill the Gatekeeper Guardians, former or present. But let them come to you first. Destroy some cities, then they'll arrive to you. Each team spread out around the world. I'll give you further orders afterwards."

"Yes, King Phobos," they all nodded. Everyone left the gate that was already open for a year to Phobos to leave but he didn't because he was smarter this time. The Kandrakar Gate, made by Jen's first team, was supposed to seal off Phobos but he chose not to yet. Jen's first team had a huge battle in Antarctica and defeated him there. Team Aang went to China; Team Korra arrived at Australia; and The Red Lotus rushed to Brazil. They start attacking anywhere to make a huge scene.

Meanwhile, the Gatekeeper Guardians are at their own base in Houston, Texas. They were at the training room that can change settings to practice their special bending powers. Peter was using blue fire and adding some cool tricks to it. Rishuv was by a lake and practicing icebending. KK had metal parts laying around to metalbend. Jen and Alan were flying and talking to each other.

"He acted so worried for me when I told him about my battle with Trevor," explained Jen. She was talking about when she was fighting with Trevor months ago and the person who stole her powers before. Her teammates and Kylie, the former leader restored her powers though and she became the Guardiankeeper again. After the battle, she went back to the Dream World, another universe that maintains the balance of the real world. She told the story to her boyfriend Nick, a former airbender.

Alan replied to her, "I would've too." He had a secret crush on her. Everyone in the team except for Jen knew about it.

"Thanks. It's been a year since the gate has been open. You think Phobos is planning on something?"

"Most likely. After getting trapped there for a million times, he has to be smart sooner or later."

"True." Then all of a sudden, Jen's necklace glowed. The council, who is the advisor for the team, talked through it from the Dream World.

"Gatekeeper Guardians!" Jen and Alan stopped flying and descending down to the ground. The other three ran to her since they heard the council too. "Phobos unleashed dark benders from the Avatar world and they are obliterating cities."

"The Avatar world? You mean like Aang and Korra?" Jen asked.

"Yes. There are three teams spread around in China, Australia, and Brazil."

"We're on it," replied Jen. The Heart stopped glowing, meaning that he left. "So Alan and Peter will go to China. Rishuv and KK will fly to Australia. I'll go to Brazil."

Alan wanted to go with Jen though. "Are you sure you want to go alone?"

"Hello? Guardiankeeper here," she said arrogantly.

"Right," he rolled his eyes. "Just be safe."

The three groups dispersed to their destinations. Rishuv and KK arrived at Australia and immediately saw Korra's team destroying the land. Korra saw the two and waterbended right to them in the sky. Rishuv, who was the waterbender, blocked it. Then KK went down and flung huge boulders to her. But Bolin caught it before they could hit her and pushed them back to him. KK and Bolin were concentrating hard but Asami shocked KK with her lightning gloves. The boulders came flying to him as well. KK was pretty bruised. Korra and Tenzin were attacking Rishuv. He was able to dodge Tenzin's air blasts. But Korra's multiple bending skills made him fall down from the sky. Luckily there was a water source near. So Rishuv icebended the lake and shot icicles to both of them. Mako and Korra firebended to melt the flying ices.

Then Rishuv saw the injured earthbender and ran straight to him. Bolin kept Rishuv away from KK by lavabending the space between them. Rishuv almost fell into the lava stream when he made a complete halt. Afterwards, Bolin made a lava ring around KK. Fortunately, KK was able to fly out before the piece of land that he was laying on melted.

"We have to retreat," suggested Rishuv.

"Right," KK agreed. They flew back to base while Team Korra went back to the gate.

Alan and Peter weren't go so well either. Alan was facing Aang, Katara, and Toph. He tried dustbending on Katara and Toph and that seemed to hold them off. He made sure he was flying so Toph couldn't sense him as much. Aang was a strong competitor though since he knew the art of airbending. Aang created huge hurricanes that Alan felt hard to control. Azula and Zuko were attacking Peter. Fire against fire. Even though Peter learned blue fire, fighting two masters of firebending was really hard to do. He got pushed around here and there until he had enough. He used his strongest elemental power which was a dragon fire. He unleashed his fire dragon and it breathed orange and blue fire on them. Zuko and Azula were surprised but still could dodge its blasts. They were smart enough to attack Peter instead since he was controlling it. Azula lightningbended to him and, Peter immediately fell to the ground. He did have the ability to redirect lightning but he was too busy focusing on the dragon. Alan saw what happened and screamed his name. Toph was able to sense his place from his voice. She lifted up a wave of earth on the ground towards him. When he was down, Katara splashed him with water and icebended it so he couldn't go anywhere. Peter tried healing himself and ran to Alan to melt the ice. The two immediately left afterwards. Like Team Korra, Team Aang returned to the gate as well.

Guardiankeeper Jen was facing the Red Lotus in Brazil. She was doing a bit better than the others but the Red Lotus was the strongest group. They had better skills in bending. Kuvira was throwing sharp metal pieces like shooting stars at Jen. She tried a new technique of going in lightning speed. With that, she was able to dodge them and kick Kuvira in the stomach. Ghazan lavabended that made a stream of lava towards the Guardiankeeper. She flew up so it couldn't get to her. But he was able to levitate some of the lava up. So she continued to fly away. Ming-Hua swung from branch to branch using her water arms. She stretched one of her arms to Jen and wrapped it around her. Jen fell to the ground and Ming-Hua slowly came towards her. Jen quickly got up and screamed. Lightning surrounded her body and shocked Ming-Hua, making her unconscious. Then Zaheer and P'Li attacked together. Zaheer would move Jen to a spot where P'Li could shoot out her combustion blasts from her head to her. Her blasts got Jen pretty injured. But Zaheer was messing with her with his airbending. The rest of the Red Lotus soon came back. Jen was on the ground and surrounded by the five.

The Guardiankeeper had enough. So she went into the Guardian State and attacked them. She was a lot faster and skilled. But P'Li and Kuvira were doing the most damage to her. They managed to get her out of the state. Jen couldn't find a right time to use her Heart's Power spell because they would always be attacking her. So she teleported her way back to base. The Red Lotus also went back to their own base.

The Gatekeeper Guardians returned to base in Houston almost at the same time. When Alan saw Jen pretty beat up, he ran straight to her.

"Oh my gosh! Are you okay?!" asked the concerned Alan.

"Yeah I am. I didn't know they would be so strong," Jen replied. The four looked at Peter who was a healer.

Peter looked back and said, "What?" After a pause, "Oh, yeah. This won't take long. Just get really close together." Everyone got into a small circle. Peter let out a dragon that wasn't his usual fire dragon. It was white with a lot of sparkles to it. The healing dragon spun around the team and healed everyone. It then came back into Peter.

"Whoa! Where did you learned that?" exclaimed Jen.

"The Library of Secrets. I went over there and found this technique. Pretty cool, huh?"

"Totally!" she said. The other three were also amazed. He didn't have to go one by one and healed them for a long period of time.

"So what about the evil benders?" asked KK.

"I think we'll need to talk to the council. We need to learn how to get stronger and more powerful."

"To the Dream World!" shouted Rishuv.
