Chapter One: Serrator's Plans

A/N: I'm back! So this was requested by a fan. I hope you like it!

"Chaos is an angel who fell in love with an angel." -Christopher Poindexter

The red waters of the Sanzu River moved in slow waves against the black rocks. Serrator paced along the shore, mind mulling over the facts. "Those rangers," he growled. "Those samurai rangers think they can beat me." He growled and kicked at a rock. It bounced around aimlessly. "If only I knew more about their plans. Or the sealing symbol."

"Boss."

Serrator turned around and raised his weapon. "Who are you?"

"Don't you recognize me boss?" the human man asked. He put his hands in the pockets of his jeans. He was a particularly handsome man with auburn hair and ice blue eyes. "Well, it has been a while. Maybe you'd recognize me better like this." He took his hands out and spread his arms. Black light seemed to be radiating from his and his form shifted. He became a monster with broad shoulders, arms, and legs. He was basically a giant humanoid-fox.

"Kitsune," Serrator smiled. "It's been a while indeed."

"So Boss, how's it going? Hm?"

"The samurai rangers are proving to be as annoying as ever."

"Ah yes. I've heard a lot about them in the human world."

"Is that where you've been?"

"Mhm. I was still on my...mission for you when the last red ranger sealed Master Xandred away. With the gaps sealed off, I was forced to remain in human form. I've survived by being near places of human misery and absorbing their pain. It was menial existence, and I'd very much like to repay the rangers for keeping me out of my home for all these years."

"Ah yes. I remember that mission now," Serrator nodded. "How did that go by the way?"

"It was a success."

"A success?" Serrator stopped and looked at the other nighlock sharply. He remembered the 'mission' being a half-baked pipe-dream. "You don't mean-"

"I do, Boss."

Serrator's mind began to form a plan. "I would very much like to see the...results of this mission."

Kintsune smiled. "Follow me."

-Love Is Blind-

The ocean waves crashed against the rocks, spraying sea spray on a young girl. She smiled as she continued sketching a picture in her book. She heard someone coming and looked to the side. She smiled at the man approaching her. "Hey."

"Hello dear," her father said sitting next to her. "What're you drawing?"

She showed him. "The fishing boats out there."

"It's very nice. So, I have something important to talk to you about."

"Oh?"

"Yes. I would like you to meet an old friend of mine."

"A friend?" she asked, curious. Her father wasn't exactly the most social person in the world.

"Yes...well...more like an employer really. Come on."

"Fine." She flipped her sketch book closed and grabbed her pencils. She followed him across the rocks and onto the wet sand of the beach. They walked away from the water and towards the woods. She subconsciously pulled her sketchbook closer to her body. Her father stopped suddenly and stared at the ground. "Dad? Dad, what're you doing?"

"Working." He looked at her suddenly and she dropped her sketchbook and pencils in shock.

"Dad?" His eyes were glowing red.

"Come," he said, grabbing her wrist. "It's time to show you your real origins." He pulled her through a gap into the Netherworld. The girl gasped as she was dragged through. She found herself standing on black gravel rocks. She turned around and looked at a red river.

"Were...where am I?" She looked back at her dad and screamed, jumping back. Something grabbed her arms and she looked around. She recognized the fish-faced monsters that sometimes attacked the city. She looked back at her father, who was now a freakish monster. "Help!"

"There's no need for that," someone said. She turned and screamed again when she saw the monster. "Is that really necessary?"

"Who-who are you? Where am I?"

"I am Serrator."

"Just let me go. Please, I won't tell anyone. Just let me go."

"Relax. I'm not going to hurt you. So long as Kitsune is telling the truth about you."

"I am Boss."

"Well, there's only one way to test it." He looked at the fish-faced monsters. "Take her down to the water."

The fish-faced monsters pulled her down the rocks to the red water. She tried to resist and pull back, but they were too strong. Her heart started pounding as they stood at the shore. She could feel the evil coming off of the water. But, some part of her, deep inside, felt like it was being pulled there. The fish-faced monsters pushed her forward and she fell into the water. She looked at the small waves lapping harmlessly at her hands and wrists. "I still don't understand."

"But I do," Serrator said, pulling her out. Her stood her before him and looked her over. "Yes. Yes, I think this could work."

"What?! What could work?!"

"You, are half-nighlock, half-human."

"N-nighlock?"

"Yes. I'm a nighlock. He's a nighlock," Serrator gestured to her father. "And you are half us."

"I'm half m-monster?"

"If that's the way you want to look at it, then yes."

She shook her head. "No! No, I'm not-"

"You are. Don't waste my time, girl. I promise it won't be worth your time."

She nodded. "Sorry."

"Now, I have a plan, and you are going to help me."

"A-and why should I do that?"

Serrator was suddenly right in her face as he explained. "Because as I've already told you, you're half-nighlock. You know of the samurai rangers, correct?"

"Y-yes."

"Then you know they're tasked with protecting your pathetic human world. If they knew about you, what you were, they'd think your were a dangerous abomination. The red ranger would destroy you without blinking an eye."

"N-no. The power rangers protect us-"

"They protect humans. But you're not human, are you?"

"I-I-"

"See? Right now they know nothing about you. But if I were to tell them, well that'd be the end of you."

She gulped. "What do you want?"

"That's a good girl. The red ranger is in possession of something desperately want to know more about."

"What?"

"It's called the sealing symbol. But that's information he won't give to just anyone."

"So why do you need me?"

"Because I think a human-looking girl is exactly who he would tell. What is your name?"

"It's Kate-Lynn."

"Well, Kate-Lynn, you are going to help me infiltrate the Shiba House."
