The early morning sun shone through the somewhat open curtains in the bedroom of Tristan and Jamison Llewellyn at the famed ThunderStar Mansion and Ranch. It was more than famous like SouthFork in Braddock, Texas. It was universally known. It was set up more like a huge palace as opposed to a regular mansion. The mansion itself, the land it sat on and all around the 2000 acre spread sat on top of and carved out of what ended up being named ThunderStar Mountain. But deep beneath and inside the mountain sat very special secrets known only to Jamison, her family, and friends. Jamison, the man wrapped around her, their siblings and friends were known as the Universal Galactic Knights, like their Knight Foundation counterparts, they were a secret band of warriors and defenders against the evils of those who attempted to operate above the law. The beeping of her communications link woke her and Tristan up. Looking at the clock on the nightstand Tristan groaned. Jamison activated her communications link that connected her to her ride and partner known as K.A.R.C.C. or Knight Automated Remote Command Center.
"There had better have been a major emergency for you to wake us all up at the crack of dawn Karcc." Jamison said. "You know how much of a bear Tristan and I are before we have our coffee."
"Not funny Jamie." Tristan groaned. She tightened her lips closed so he would not see her trying like crazy to keep from laughing. He looked adorable with his bedhead long golden brown almost wheat colored hair strung out all over the place. They had grown up together with their siblings and friends eventually gaining the powers of their respective Knights,learning they were able to harness the powers and elements of their various guardian kingdom planets. Their Animagus or Priderian guardians and companions sat in chairs bearing the symbols of their respective Knights and their own handles when Jamison and the others finally showed up.
"We received an urgent video call from King Thunderis asking for all of the Knights to meet here in the command center for new assignments." Karcc announced. "Now that everyone is here, King Thunderis, all of the Knights are here and accounted for."
"Thank you Karcc." Thunderis replied. "Now for the main reason I called for all of the Knights. The time has come for you to begin another great quest. You will be going through different times and dimensions but it is important to gear all of you up for what will be the ultimate universal war to end all wars."
"Somehow I do not like the sound of that." Pepper D'Angelo said. "It sounds pretty serious and dangerous."
"Indeed it is but I and the Council believe in all of you and the talents Jehovah gave you." Thunderis acknowledged. "Now, you are all heading out through the Corridor of Time and Dimension to the first place of the Crystal Quest. It will begin with all of the Elemental powered Knights first starting with the Ice and Water Knights Orion, Storm, Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, Neptune, Mercury and Aquarius. While they are questing for their Ice and Water crystals, the rest of you will be taking up a series of cases in the other areas. The fleet will meet you at the various locations to help with the cases until all of the Knights have gained their full Universal Power. T.S.1 as the main mobile command center of the fleet you will be in overall command. Khronos has already gained his Universal Crystal and powers, so Saturn will be joining all of you in the quest and on the case. I have arranged everything in advance, especially your quarters in these various places. Khronos and the Corridor are linked to your communicators. You will receive further instructions once you reach your first destination."
"Alright, you heard him Knights." Jamison said. "It is time to get up and ready to go."
"So much for planning their birthday celebration." Regan replied. "We do not know how long these quests will take and we were planning a huge celebration in their honor."
"Do not worry Regan." Kyiandra said. "You guys will be ready in time and it will be a birthday that Randall and the twins will never forget."
Jamison and the Knights gathered in the center of the Knights main base of operations and called for the Corridor of Dimension and Time. Once there, Knight Khronos set the coordinates for their first destination after the Ice and Water Knights went to start their quests.
"Okay, be careful in the Corridors." Knight Khronos cautioned. "They have a tendency to hit some serious storms at times. Keep a hold of each other at all times just as the Water and Ice Knights have done. You will land in the ThunderStar One command center on arrival of your first case."
"Do you have any idea as to what these cases are and who all are involved?" Knight Thunder asked.
"As the guardian of Dimensions, I know what all of you know as far as this goes." Knight Khronos replied. Using his power, he opened the door to what would be their first case. As the Knights approached the open door he spoke again. "No matter what, stay together and may the power protect you."
The early morning hours at Starlight Mansion were a buzz with the usual chatter and excitement. The excited chatter from the Starlight Girls for the start of the new school year, everyone was excited, except for Jerrica. For the last five years, since Jem and the Holograms won the Battle of the Bands against the Misfits, Jerrica had been the Chief Executive officer of Starlight Music, her family's Music company which was doing much better in the music business since the release of Jacqui Benton's music in a tribute to her memory. Today was the anniversary of her mother's death in a plane crash almost ten years before. She looked at the picture of her mother, her, and her sister Kimber as tears began to fill her eyes. She began remembering how cold she had been to her mother the day she had been leaving for the start of a tour which was also the day that she died. "I wish that there was some way for me to tell mom how sorry I am for the way that I acted that day." Jerrica thought. Pushing the thought out of her mind for the time being, Jerrica went downstairs to meet the rest of the Holograms.
"Hey Jerrica," Kimber called after the girls had left for school, "that concert promoter from Las Vegas, Hays, he's back and he wants to talk to you about a return performance with Jem and the Holograms at his casino."
Jerrica followed her sister to the study which was also her at home office where Aja, Shana, and Raya were waiting with Derk Hayes, the concert promoter from Las Vegas who also owned the Gold Dust Casino where Jem and the Holograms and their rivals, the Misfits had competed for the lead spot in the concert. Despite the machinations from Eric, his thugs, and the Misfits, Jem and the Holograms came out on top.
"I wanted to apologize for everything that happened the last time that you were at my casino." Mr. Hayes said, "I would like to invite you to perform again; and this time your opening act will not be a rival group. If I hadn't enlisted the Misfits, there would not have been any trouble. Would you consider coming back for a return performance?"
"That is outrageous." Kimber said, "Come on, what do you say sis? Are we going to do this?" Without a word of response, Jerrica signed the new contract enlisting Jem and the Holograms in the performance. "Oh , Who are we performing with when we get there?"
"Oh you don't know her, but her name is Elizabeth Mason, a bright and shining star when it comes to her music." Mr. Hays said, "She is quite an inspiration when she sings much like your Jem. I think that you will enjoy singing with her. See y'all in Vegas."
