(2) The court may order the emergency guardian to make any report the court requires; and

(3) The emergency guardianship shall terminate on the earliest of:

(A) The court's removal of the emergency guardian, with or without cause;

(C) Unless otherwise specified in the order of dismissal, the dismissal of a petition for appointment of a guardian;
