Chapter 2: Air
The team teleported back to her base at Earth in Houston, Texas. It was made by the agents of the team. It looked like a mansion but made of metal and glass with an illusion spell on it so no one can see it. The next day, Jen prepared her first Guardiankeeper training. There was a cycle that she had to follow: Air, Fire, Water, and then Earth. So Alan was the first to teach her airbending. He felt really honored to. She transformed both of them by saying "Guardians Unite!" The Heart necklace glowed brightly with energy going around it. The energies then circled around both of them. With green wings, Alan and Jen wore an outfit similar to a fitness jacket and pants with their own color; Alan had black and white while Jen had purple and white. However, after that, she went to change into a more suitable clothing that would match the theme of airbending. Alan waited for her and saw her in a purple gi and loose blue pants.
"You look really nice and ready," complimented Alan.
"Thanks! It's just like in the anime Dragon Ball Z," she referred. They entered the training room which can change the scenery in any way. Alan set it at an open plain field with grass.
"I don't have much to teach you since part of your power is weather which has wind," he noticed.
"True, but you have more techniques to the air. You're freer when using airbending."
"Alright, then. I mostly go by your advice when I first trained with you. Move with the wind," explained Alan.
"I guess."
"It was your advice so I would assume you know would know. But hey, don't worry. I'll still help you," he punched out jets of wind towards her. She dodged most of them until getting hit straight to the face with one. Alan rushed to Jen to make sure she was okay. "I'm so sorry," he lifted her head up. Jen opened her eyes and stared right to him.
"Don't be sorry. I just have to practice," she got up herself. "Let's continue."
Alan nodded. His next attacks were mini tornadoes spinning towards her. Since Jen had the power of weather, making them disappear was easy. They trained for several more days just to make sure Jen mastered the power of air. When Alan thought that she was perfect, he took
"I don't have any techniques to teach you besides dustbending. Time to think of it, I don't know why it took me long to master airbending." He looked a bit embarrassed.
"Well, part of my powers is air and, you needed to learn the art of air first. Don't feel bad," she put her hand on his shoulder.
He smiled a little, "Let's learn how to dustbend now."
"Okay!"
Alan took a few steps away from Jen to leave some space. "It's almost like earthbending, sensing movement from the ground. The difference for dustbending is that you have to feel the small particles of dust in the air." He put his hands out and moved them in a pattern. The dust appeared in clusters around him. After seeing it in slow motion, Jen tried it out herself. She did the same motions as he did. Gradually, the dust circled around her. Then she made a move that blasted the dust towards a direction.
"You're a natural," Alan said.
"Learning to be the Guardiankeeper won't be too hard," she replied.
Alan raised one of his eyebrow, "Oh really? Good luck with Peter and KK."
Jen sighed, "Yeah, I guess."
They sat down together in the center of the training room. Jen was playing around air with her hands while Alan stared at her. He liked her more and more every day. The only thing blocking him from telling her that is the fact that she has a boyfriend. But he didn't mind being friends. "Do you want to go outside and walk?" Alan suggested.
Jen stopped and looked back at him, "Sure! It seems nice to be outside too." They untransformed, changed to a more comfortable clothes, and head out. Peter, KK, and Rishuv saw them go out together. Since KK can read and talk to in people's minds, he went into Alan's head and said, "Don't do anything naughty." He laughed. Alan looked back at KK with his eyes squinting as he walked out. Jen looked at him and asked what was wrong. But Alan replied that it was nothing. When they reached past a junkyard, they saw someone come close to them in a battle suit with a hood and mask. Alan and Jen stopped where they were. So did the stranger.
"Hello Jen and air guardian Alan," he greeted.
"Who are you and how do you know us?" Jen asked.
"My name is Trevor. Your former teammate Sam might know me when I lead him to the dark side. I have an offer to make for you though."
"Forget it! Jen let's transform," Alan said. Jen nodded. She grabbed her necklace out "Guardians Unite!" They appeared while flying a little above ground.
"No need to fight. This is my offer: Give me the Heart of Kandrakar and I'll leave you alone or I'll steal your powers with the Heart," he said with a smirk in the end.
"Hmm. How about none of the above?" Jen shot lightning towards him. But Trevor was super quick that he dodged every one of them.
"I'll give you some time to think about it. Meanwhile, let my chi-blockers teach you a lesson," he teleported away while two ninja-looking people ran towards them and did flips that made them closer to the guardians. Jen and Alan prepared themselves to fight. It was time for Jen to show what she learned from airbending.
Jen shot an air blast towards the chi-blocker coming at her. He easily dodged it by doing a flip that made him right in front of her. They were almost combat fighting. Each move they made, Jen tried to apply some airbending attacks. But he was too quick for them. When Jen did a high kick which made a huge blast of air and sound, the chi-blocker did the same movement at her but with nothing coming out. While Jen was turning, he hit her from the back to her left arm with quick, hard pecks. She felt a huge sore on her arm so she continued fighting with her other one. This time, they were at a longer range, and Jen was using lightning too. The chi-blocker seemed to let her attack while he dodged every one.
Meanwhile, Alan was having the same issue. The chi-blocker hit his arm, making Alan a lot harder to fight. Both guardians were being hit at more different places. Then the chi-blockers kicked them at the same direction so Jen and Alan would crash each other. They felt really weak to move but the ninjas were coming closer with bolas spinning with their hands. Jen had to think of something quick before they capture them to Trevor. She snatched the necklace off of her and held it out.
"Heart's Power!" She screamed out the attack, making the Heart glow so bright that it can blind people. Jen and Alan closed their eyes and looked away. Once the Heart stopped glowing, they turned to see what damage it cost. They only saw two piles of ashes and black gases above it slowly dissolving.
"I thought the Heart's Power was going to destroy the whole city," said Alan.
"I panicked and just did something. At least now we know I can control how much power to emit," Jen put the Heart back on her neck. Then she tried to airbend the ashes away but nothing was coming out her fist. "I can't bend!" she tried again. "I can't bend!"
"Calm down," Alan put his hand on her shoulder. "They just temporarily blocked our bending."
"We have to be extra careful around them and Trevor." Alan nodded at what she said.
"Let's tell the others. Phobos has someone new for us."
