Chapter 3

She could tell he was talking about her, that much was obvious. His gaze would flicker to her before turning back to her grandfather and Ji.

She merely sighed and turned to Antonio.

"What's going on Antonio?"

Antonio only shrugged.

"I have no idea. I think all this pressure of fighting has finally got to him…"

"I heard Deker wasn't gone after all. It must be bothering him…" Bianca wondered out loud, hand moving to rest against her lips.

"Wait a second…how do you know about Deker?" Kevin asked, a brow rising to his hairline, hands crossing at his chest.

Bianca smiled with a tilt of her head, hand resting against her cheek.

"Who else do you think your informants were?"

Eyes widened.

"So you mean when Ji talks about our sources…" Mia started.

"That would be us…although I arrived a few days after the Nighlok attack here. I was quite upset I wasn't able to help."

"There was probably nothing you could've done Bianca. We were ambushed…" Emily replied.

"My symbol power isn't as strong as yours but I could've done something…" Bianca murmured.

"I didn't know guardians have symbol power." Mia stated.

Bianca gave her a small smile.

"The guardians have enough to assist them with daily life here but compared to yours…even mine by far out ranks theirs. Plus I do not use my symbol power as much as you would rangers, so mine isn't completely mastered."

Her smile widened a little.

"But I'm working on it…"

"I'm assuming you're wondering why Bianca is here?" Daisuke asked with a smile.

"I haven't seen her in years Daisuke…it's just strange to see her outside." Jayden stated.

"She is slowly recovering from her last attack but I assure you she is doing fine." Daisuke replied.

"You spoke of her being the guardian of Thundarus. Does that mean…" Mentor Ji started.

Daisuke merely shook his head.

"Her symbol power drains her quickly because of her control over him. Even the simplest of tasks wipe her." Daisuke stated with a sad smile as he turned to where Bianca was talking to the other rangers.

Jayden and Ji's gazes followed his. Bianca was laughing at something Mike was saying along with the other four rangers.

"When was Bianca made guardian? I thought it was her mother…" Ji asked.

Daisuke's sad smile disappeared.

"Carina died a few years ago…right before the final battle."

Ji's eyes widened as Jayden's gaze shot to Bianca.

"We were never informed." Ji stated.

Daisuke shook his head with a sad smile.

"Carina did not wish for anyone to be saddened while in battle. She passed with Bianca and I next to her."

Ji's gaze flickered to Jayden and back to Daisuke.

"Bianca knew that one day she would be guardian of Thundarus and has taken the responsibility on with pride as her mother did before her…just as a certain young man has done."

Jayden's gaze shot back to Daisuke as he gave the elder man a small smile.

"What of the other responsibility?" Ji asked.

Daisuke's gaze moved to Ji.

"I do not believe she will ever be strong enough for that. Until she regains her strength…that will never be spoken of. Only Sarah, Carina, and I know of that and I hope you two will not speak of it either." Daisuke asked of the two.

Jayden and Ji merely bowed to show the man's respect on the topic.

It was at that moment that the rest of the group journeyed over to the three men.

Bianca then rested her hand in the crook of her grandfather's arm with a smile.

"Now I believe you all came here for a reason. Let us retire into the living room. My granddaughter makes some delicious tea you know…" Daisuke stated with a wide smile, gesturing for the group to follow him.

Bianca turned back to the group with a smile, her gaze fixed upon the ranger in red.

Author's Note: sorry it's so short but i had too because the next chapter is kinda packed. :) hope you all enjoyed!

So i had a guest reader message me and ask why i chose my character's names and this is why: Carina is Latin for beloved and Bianca is Italian for white/fair. :) These will come into play...
