~ This chapter I was really looking forward to posting. It took me a while because I lost muse at one point, then I had some family issues, and then I just procrastinated.

~ I took your feedback from the last few chapters as well as inspiration from Dino Super Charge. This chapter is slightly inspired by the episode 'Date With Danger' When Chase was on the date with Kaylee. There is also a small scene inspired by the episode 'Roar Of The Red Ranger'.

ENJOY!

~2 days later~

Hydie looked in a mirror she had stolen as she put on makeup. She needed to look the part since the date with Chase would be later on in the day. Her makeup themed had a dark red tone to it, matching the colored highlight in her hair. 'The plan is going great' She thought to herself before her compact rang. Hydie sighed and took it out, seeing Scorn inside.
"You don't have to alter your appearance for a human." Scorn said.
"You know nothing about the human behavior." Hydie said, shaking her head a bit. "They care about the appearances of their mate."
"That's too much work for your plan..." Hydie rolled her eyes and closed the compact. Hydie looked at her reflection.
"Sometimes you have no patience." Hydie mutters to herself about Scorn before finishing up her make up.

Hydie walked into the main room of the ship and heard Fury telling Heckyl a plan.
"Don't look so bored brother." Hydie said when she saw her brother's expression. "I'm sure Fury's plan is..." She stopped to think.
"...sure to fail like all his other plans." Singe said as he walked in.
"I don't see you with any energems." Fury said as he took a step towards Singe. Singe rolled his eyes as he pushed past Fury. "What are you doing here Singe?" Fury asked with narrowed eyes. Singe simply ignored him and looked at Heckyl.
"I have a new strategy that I'll think you'll appreciate Heckyll." Singe said and held up a picture. Hydie looked and saw it was a picture of her and Chase while they were hanging out the other day.
"What are you up to Singe?" She asked, which was returned by a smirk.
"Humans are obsessed with a crazy little thing called love, go after the ones they hold dear and they fall apart." Singe chuckled and Hydie smiled, knowing where it was going.
"So you're going to pretend to kidnap me to lure Chase and get his energem?" Hydie asked.
"Exactly." Singe said.
"That's ridiculous." Fury said. Heckyl sat back and watched as he thought of the plan Singe presented to him. "There is no way the black ranger cares about her that much already."
"Jealous you didn't think of the plan yourself?" Singe said with a challenging tone to Fury.
"Enough." Heckyl said before turning to his sister. "What do you think?" Hydie looked from her brother to Singe and Fury.
"It could work." Hydie said. Singe looked at Fury with a confident look. "It could work if we make it believable." Singe and Heckyl chuckled as they looked at Hydie.
"You two come up with a plan." Heckyl said to Hydie and Singe. Heckyl got off his chair only to be replaced by Hydie. Fury groaned and glared at Singe before walking out of the room.
"You just love to be right about everything, don't you?" Hydie asked Singe.
"You two got used to it." Singe said, referring to both Hydie and Scorn.
"Whatever." Hydie said, dismissing Singe's comment. "Let's just come up with a plan."

~Later That Day~

Hydie was waiting for Chase on a bench in the park. She had jeans and a nice looking red tank top on. She looked at her phone for what seemed like the millionth time. 'Maybe he's not coming' She thought to herself as she stood. Hydie stretched her legs.
"Hydie!" She looked and saw Chase as he hurried towards her. When Chase got to her, he stood with his skateboard in hand and tried to catch his breath. "Sorry...I'm late." He said between breaths. 'And he shows up' Hydie thought to herself.
"At least you showed up." Hydie pointed out. Chase looked at her with a smile. "Let's go for a walk while you catch your breath, okay?" Chase nodded at Hydie's offer. He carefully held her hand with his free one as they began to walk.

The two of them had been walking through the park for a few minutes. Out of the corner of her eye, Hydie looked at Chase. He was wearing his normal black hoodie, jeans, and a grey Tshirt.
"Do you own any colors besides black?" Hydie asked out of curiosity.
"Yeah..." Chase started to say "...but I look hot in black." Chase smirked at Hydie.
"I guess." She said in a teasing tone. They stopped walking and Chase looked at her. He had a smile on his face as he leaned in. Hydie looked at him and leaned in until they kissed.

They both jumped back when shots seemed to come out of nowhere.
"What was that?" Hydie asked as she looked at Chase. She looked before seeing Snide and Fury walking towards them.
"Hydie..." Chase held Hydie's shoulders "...you have to get somewhere safe."
"What about you?" She asked.
"I'll be okay." Chase said before they were shot at again. This time they were a separated a bit from the force. Hydie had fallen on her butt, her hands scrapped a little on the cement path they were on. She looked over to Chase and saw he had landed on his back. Hydie looked back at Fury and Snide. 'They were supposed to wait' She thinks as some Vivix pulled her up. "Hydie!" Chase shouted as he tried to go to her. Fury shot between them, stopping Chase. Chase looked at Hydie, who seemed confused more than anything.
"Chase!" She tried to get out of the Vivix hands, but couldn't. The Vivix started to take her away. Chase ran after her, but was stopped by Snide.
"Lets see how much you care for her black ranger." He chuckled. Fury went along with the Vivix as they carried Hydie. Chase watched, feeling helpless as they carried Hydie away. He couldn't reveal that he was the black ranger to her, but he also wanted to help. Chase knew he had to get help from the others so he hurried back to their base.

Chase slid into the base with a worried look.
"Chase, what is it?" Kendall asked when she saw the panicked look on his face.
"Hydie and I were on a date..." He starts to say. Kendall opened her mouth, but Chase continued "...we were attacked. Vivix took her." Kendall went to her computer and started typing without saying a word.
"What would Vivix want with Hydie?" Tyler asked, overhearing what Chase said. Chase gave a shrug.
"Where could they have taken her?" Riley asked as he and the other rangers joined at Chase's side. Chase tried to think and had an idea.
"She as her phone on her..." He said. "We could track her phone number..."
"Or of the Alien bio signs of the Vivix." Kendall said as her computer beeped. "There." The rangers gathered behind her. "Be careful." She said to all of them, mainly Chase. They nodded and headed out to Hydie's location.

Hydie was in a cave with Singe and Snide. She was relaxed in the chair and played around on her phone. Singe stood in a corner and watched with curiosity. Snide looked at Hydie and slapped her face. She dropped her phone and it got a small crack. Hydie narrowed her eyes as she looked at Snide.
"You are enjoying this a little too much." She said with a hand where he slapped. Snide smirked.
"You said make it believable." Snide pointed out.
"Whatever." Hydie muttered to herself, choosing to let it go...at least for the moment. She bent down to pick up the phone.
"What is taking them so long?" Singe asked as he stepped closer to them. "It's been a hour already..."
"Maybe you two underestimated how much the black ranger cares for her..." Snide said as he looked at Singe.
"I can see how much you and Scorn are alike." Singe mused as he looked at Snide. Hydie shook her head and made her hand glow purple.
"Behave you two." She threatened Singe and Snide. "I can take one of you down and the plan will still work." Hydie saw Snide look at her. "I can hurt you without hurting my brother...don't forget that." She pointed out. Snide put his hands up in defense, knowing that she doesn't give empty threats when upset.

A few minutes later a Vivix came in and the others knew that the rangers had finally arrived. Snide got ropes and tied Hydie's arms behind her on the chair. He made sure they were tight, which earned a glare from Hydie. Snide smirked at her slight pain. Hydie took a deep breath and prepared herself for the rangers.

Hydie looked and saw some Vivix fly into the wall, followed by some rangers running in. It was the black and gold rangers. Hydie knew it was Chase and Ivan. Singe stepped forward with a chuckle.
"All these heros are giving me a headache." He groaned before reaching for his blaster.
"Let the girl go." Ivan said after seeing Hydie was tied to a chair. Singe started fighting one on one with Ivan. Hydie seemed worried for the rangers and started to have a bruise forming on her face. Chase started towards Hydie, but was stopped by Snide trying to fight him.
"Try and get past me." Snide challenged Chase, holding his sword out as he did. Chase looked towards Hydie before putting all his attention to Snide. He went into a fighting position before they charged at each other.

Hydie watched as they fought. She tried to free her hands from the ropes. 'I'm getting back at Snide for this' She thought about the ropes, groaning as she tried to force her hands out. Snide had tied them so tight that Hydie wouldn't be able to get out of them unless she turned into Scorn. That was something she couldn't do without ruining everything they've been working for.

Ivan managed to distract Snide just enough for Chase to run back to Hydie.
"Are..." He faked coughed so Hydie wouldn't recognize his accent "...are you okay?" He finished in an american accent. Hydie nodded and smiled a bit when Chase was able to free her hands.
"Thank you." She said as she looked at Chase, still pretending to be scared and confused.
"Now get out of here and let us handle this." Chase said, still using the american accent. Hydie nodded and watched him go back to Snide. 'How I planned' Hydie thought before running out of the cave.

Snide turned and saw that Hydie was no longer in the cave.
"Whatever you were trying to do, you failed." Chase said as he pointed his sword at Snide. Snide looked back at Singe, but noticed he was gone. 'Coward' Snide thought. He looked back at Chase and almost growled. Snide swung his sword, creating a dirt cloud. The cloud was thick enough that Snide was able to leave the cave without the rangers noticing.

Chase went to where Snide was when the dust cleared. He noticed Snide wasn't in the cave anymore.
"Where did he go?" Ivan asked as the other rangers joined them in the cave.
"I have no idea." Chase said with his normal accent before turning towards his friends.
"Where's Hydie?" Shelby asked when there was no sign of her.
"She got out of here." Chase said. "She's safe." He smiled inside his helmet.
"Let's get back to base." Tyler said and the others nodded before following him out.

The rangers got back to the base, unmorphed.
"What would Snide want with Hydie?" Chase asked because he was concerned.
"I don't know." Kendall sighed and tried to think of a reason
"Maybe she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time." Shelby looked at Chase. She knew that Chase and Hydie were on a date when the attack happened.
"I have to make sure Hydie is okay." Chase said. He walked out of the base and started dialing Hydie's number.

Hydie waited for Chase underneath a tree. She gently touched where she was slapped. There was a tender feeling to it, but Hydie knew it would feel worse later. She looked up when she saw Chase coming towards her.
"Are you okay?" Chase asked as he held Hydie's hand. Hydie nodded and saw Chase's concerned expression.
"I'm tougher than I look." She gave with a small smile. "The power rangers saved me." Chase pretended to look surprised, not able to tell Hydie he was the black ranger.
"Really?" Chase asked and Hydie nodded.
"How are you?" Hydie asked to make it believable that she really cared about Chase. "Are you okay?" Chase nodded as he gently held Hydie's hand.
"Yeah, I was just worried about you." Hydie blushed a little. Chase gently rubbed Hydie's hand with his thumb. He didn't say anything about the small scrapes he could feel on her palm. Hydie leaned in and gave Chase a kiss on the cheek.
"Sorry the date didn't go as planned." She said.
"It's not too late to take you to a movie." Chase suggested, hoping Hydie would say yes. "If you want." Hydie knew the movie would make Chase care for her more. At the same time she wanted to get revenge on Snide for what he did to her face. Hydie saw the hopefulness in Chase's eyes before she nodded.
"Okay." She said. "But you're paying." She added and it make Chase smile. Chase stood up and held his hand out to Hydie. Hydie gave a small smile, taking his hand as she stood. He couldn't help but look at her for a minute before they started walking.

~That Night~

Hydie walked into the main part of the ship with a big bruise on her face. It hurt, but she didn't show that she felt the pain. She growled lowly when she saw Snide.
"You are an ass." Hydie said before using her telekinesis to throw him against the wall. "Slapping me was not part of the plan." Snide stood up.
"Awww, did I hurt your face?" Snide asked, pretending to care. Hydie let out what sounded like a growl.
"Screw you." Snide chuckled at Hydie's attitude. Snide was about to say something, but stepped away as he transformed back into Heckyl. Hydie took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. Her brother was one person she would never hurt.
"You know Snide is...uncivilized." He said to his sister. Heckyl looked at the injuries caused by their plan. "You should get that checked."
"I should slap Snide to see how he likes it." Hydie said as she crossed her arms.
"Settle down Dee Dee." Hydie narrowed her eyes at the nick name. Heckyl took a few steps closer to her.
"Don't...call me Dee Dee." She said to her brother as he got within arms length. "Try to control Snide next time." Hydie said before uncrossing her arms and walking away.

~ I tried to add more at the end, but after a while I felt like how I had it end works (:

~ I felt like I had to have some scenes with the rangers in it even though the story is more about Hydie than it is about them. I don't have the scenes because I want to make sure I keep the rangers in character.

~ There are a couple of things from the show that I plan on changing for the story...especially with how Dino Super Charge ended.
~ I also might try a Ninja Steel story with a new OC who would be the daughter of the Light Speed Rescue rangers Carter and Dana. I haven't tested her out in any roleplays yet and if I write a story for Ninja Steel, it all depends on how the show progresses.

~ Please help with any ideas you might have...especially with how Chase can reveal that he is the black ranger. Any monster or situations you'd like to see from any season of Power Rangers.

~ On another note, the Power Rangers movie they made...was awesome. I saw it twice (:

R&R 'till the next update
