Chapter 7

"So what are we gonna do about Thundarus?"

The question Mike stated was the biggest thing on everyone's mind.

"A horse trailer?" Emily proposed.

" A giant metal horse in a trailer might be over the top." Kevin mentioned.

"Uh…everyone…"

The group turned to Bianca who stepped forward with a smile.

"We won't need a trailer."

Emily cocked her head to the side in confusion.

"You're going to ride him all the way back to the Shiba house?"

Bianca hid a giggle behind a hand, her shoulders shaking in mirth. She turned to find Jayden move to stand next to her.

"No Em, we're going to make him easier to carry." The red ranger explained.

"A foldingzord, how did I not think of that?" Kevin stated, with a frustrated look.

"How are we going to do that?" Mia asked before Mike could say anything sarcastic.

"Just as we can make our foldingzords go mega mode, our artillery zords can become foldingzords as well." Jayden explained.

"But more specifically guardians of these zords can perform this task quite well." Bianca added.

"But it takes a great amount of symbol power to do this." Jayden countered, raising a brow at Bianca's eye roll.

"What someone is forgetting to mention is that I've had Thundarus change hundreds of time, especially into a foldingzord size. I'll just have to go a few hours with no symbol power." Bianca challenged.

The guardian and red ranger seemed to stare each other down until Antonio appeared between them with a smile.

"Hey you two, save it for the private quarters." He stated with a cheeky grin.

Bianca's face flared a light pink while Jayden turned away in…embarrassment?

The group snickered to each other while Kevin rolled his eyes.

"So how will you need to perform this task Bianca?" The blue ranger asked, trying to get back on subject.

Bianca smiled and moved to stand before the giant metal horse. The group noticed Jayden stood behind her.

"Don't let me fall." They heard Bianca say.

The group moved so they could see what was going on and noticed Bianca had a pen-looking device, looking like out an outdated Samuraizer.

"Wouldn't dream of it…" Jayden murmured back and rested his hands on her shoulders.

Bianca gave him a smile over her shoulder and turned back to the metal horse.

"Alright old friend, time to get small."

Thundarus nickered in agreement with a bob of his head.

"Symbol power: shrink! Ha!"

Bianca's strokes were quick and precise as Thundarus was surrounded in a starry silver-white light and suddenly appeared on the young woman's shoulder. The young woman let out a gasp as if she'd been kicked in the gut and fell back into the young man in reds' ready arms. Her eyes held a blank look as she let in and out deep breaths. Closing her eyes, she held a hand to her head and opened them to rest emerald orbs on the group surrounding her.

"Are you alright?" Mia asked.

"Yea you really scared us there." Emily added.

Bianca nodded, her heart still racing.

"Yes…I don't remember that taking so much out of me before."

"That was seventeen strokes…amazing." Kevin said, awe in his eyes.

"You look like you're about to fall asleep Bi." Antonio noted.

"I feel a little tired. I hope you all do not mind if I rest on the way there." Bianca asked.

"You need it Bianca. Everyone can hold off on questions after you've rested." Jayden stated, sending a look to his teammates, more specifically Antonio.

The group nodded in understanding and helped get the rest of Bianca's things into the black Lincoln that sat right outside the gate.

Bianca turned to her grandfather, who suddenly stood next to her.

"I'll be back before you know it." Bianca stated.

"I know you will." Daisuke replied.

"…thank you for allowing me to do this."

Daisuke gave her a soft smile.

"An old man must learn the limits of over protection sooner or later."

Bianca gave him a smile back, followed by a hug.

"But this old man has only one granddaughter…and this granddaughter must respect the old man's wishes for her safety."

Daisuke laughed at his granddaughter's remark.

"Listen to what Ji has to teach you."

At that moment, Jayden and Ji moved to stand before Daisuke. Jayden, Ji, and Bianca bowed to the guardian, who bowed back in return.

"Keep her safe Jayden. She will be the key to helping you on the next step of your journey." Daisuke stated.

"With my life." Jayden stated with a bow and lead Bianca over to the black car.

"Interesting combination…wouldn't you say my friend?" Daisuke asked.

Ji raised a brow with a small smile.

"I do not know what you mean…"

Daisuke laughed and rested a hand on Ji's shoulder.

"Let me know when they start acting eight years old again. I wish to know how this all works out."

Ji's smirk was still on his face as he hopped into the car, ignoring the looks of the seven teenagers that he was receiving.

The old guardian of the Tengen Gate still had some tricks up his sleeve after all…
