Guardian Jem

It's been so long since I've updated.  To tell you the truth, I've pretty much forgotten about my fanfics because of everything going on and starting college. But, then, I opened up my email today and someone had left me a review that they really liked my story "Spring Vacation." Sad to say, I'm not focusing on that story, even though it's funny! Maybe I will later. But, for now, I'm going to work on Guardian Jem when I have free time.

Kira: I'm so happy! I can't wait to beat Shinx's butt!

Who said that?

Kira: What do you mean who said that?! I am going to beat Shinx, aren't I?

…

Kira: What?! What the heck are you planning?! This isn't fair! You play around with us like we're you personal puppets! And who the heck do you think you are?! I can't believe…….. (goes on ranting)

……….

KIRA!

Kira: (stops pacing and ranting) What?!

(leans away as Kira gets in my face) I can't tell you what's going to happen. Then the readers would know ahead of time.

Kira: (opens mouth to yell again)

(interrupts) But, guess what?! A reviewer asked me to tell you that he thinks you're pretty. (closes eyes, praying she doesn't explode)

Kira: (slowly closes mouth) … Really?

(silently thank God she isn't blowing her top) Yup! Told me to specifically to tell you.

Kira: Aw! (sighs and gets a dreamy look on her face) Did you get his name?

Yup! It's Jeremy Shane.

Connor: (pops out of nowhere, a dark shadow of anger looming around him, his voice is dangerously low) Jeremy Shane. ….. What's his address?

(back away in fear of Connor) Um, no… Uh, Connor, are you ok?

Connor: (ignores my question) No matter. I will find you Jeremy Shane! I'll teach you that Kira is mine! (throws fist in air and stalks off)

Kira: (dreamy look still on her face) I bet he's a hunk!

(crouched in the corner, shaking) Oh, Jeremy Shane. I am so sorry! Maybe you should have a baseball bat handy in case Connor does find you. (bows head)

Kira flew across the room, slamming against the wall and sliding to the ground. She lay there, a heap of limbs, pain radiating from every part of her body.

Shinx stood over her, a grin on her face. "I was right. You are much weaker than your father was and you'll be so much easier to kill. And once I kill you, I will finally gain the Royal Powers!" A laugh escaped her as she stepped forward and shamelessly kicked Kira.

Kira slowly rolled over and groaned in pain. She opened her eyes and looked up at the evil Mistress. "What do you mean?"

"You don't know?" Shinx shrugged. "No, I guess Quinm didn't expect me to be able to interrupt you in your quest to regain your memories. I am much stronger then the last time I saw him or his pest of a son-in-law!" Shinx spat on the ground in disgust of their memories.

"My quest?"

Shinx laughed at Kira's question. "He didn't even tell you what he was sending you to do, did he?! I would have thought he would have been a little more kind to his only granddaughter." She walked slowly over to her throne and sat down. "Let me tell you something about your dear grandfather, Daughter of Kika.

Quinm Datnem, your mother's father, came from a long line of seers. He was the one who first saw that I was coming to Steryn, that I would conquer the galaxy." A scowl twisted the older woman's face. "He was the one who found a way to contact Zordon and tell him of the danger Nevoot was in. He's the reason that stupid Ranger team was formed."

Shinx slammed her fist into the arm of her throne. The sound of thunder resonated through the stone room. Kira flinched at the noise.

----------------------------

Back in Dr. O's living room, Kira was slumped on the floor and had been quiet for the past eight minutes.

"Is she ok? She hasn't moved in a while." Ethan stepped closer to where Dr. O and Hayley were examining Kira.

Dr. O nodded. "Her breathing is fine. She was a wealth of new bruises and her bottom lip is cut and bleeding, but she'll be fine."

"She'll be fine as long as whatever is attacking her in her dreams doesn't do it again." Hayley looked gravely at Tommy.

Silence followed as everyone took in the news.

Connor turned to Stewart and grabbed the older man's shirt. "You and Amrie know what is happening to Kira. Tells us what Quinm did to her!"

"No! Quinm didn't do this to her." Amrie stepped forward and put a hand on Connor's shoulder. "As a seer, Quinm has the power to help people understand their future. As his powers grew stronger, he learned the power of sending people on a quest through their mind to learn more about themselves. The quest is hard, but it wouldn't hurt her this way! Connor, someone is interfering with her quest. They can kill her. Quinm would never put her in that kind of danger."

Connor looked from her to Stewart. "Ok. Then, who is interfering with her quest and how do we stop them from killing Kira?"

Stewart chuckled nervously. "Well, first, you can let go of my shirt."

Slowly, Connor's grip relaxed and he let go of the Nevooten male. "Well, who is it?"

"Shinx." Hayley said form behind Connor. "It has to be."

Amrie nodded. "Yes. She had grown so powerful that she can hack into other's dream quests, even if only for a few hours."

"A few hours?" Trent was leaning against the wall, out of the way while Dr. O and Hayley looked over Kira. "How long are these vision dream quest things?"

"They are normally at least half a day. Some even go as long as almost two whole days. It all depends on how much the person needs to learn and how much they accept what is happening," Stewart answered.

"Two days?!" Ethan exclaimed.

"But, that's only in extreme cases," Amrie reassured. "Kira is strong. I'm sure it won't take her that long."

"Yeah, as long as we get Shinx out of her head soon," Trent commented.

"Right," Dr. O agreed. "So, let's get to work."
