It was the weekend, and Ice was looking forward to hitting up the arcade. "Ah. Nothing like blowing a few quarters on some games." Ace and Shadow had just dropped Ice off at the mall. "Thanks for the ride guys! I'll text you when to pick me up!" Ace and Shadow nodded as they drove off. Ice made his way to the mall's arcade, and went to his favorite fighting game. Bur upon closing in, Ice spotted a girl already going at it! 'This girl's got game. Well..here comes a new challenger!' Ice put quarters in the machine, and selected his character. Indigo Zap turned to him, and Ice smiled. "Up for a couple rounds?" Zap flashed him a smirk.
"Game on!" Ice and Indigo were going at it like their thumbs were going to break! For every move one pulled off, the other was able to recover and counter! Eventually, the match ended with a double K.O. "You're pretty good. Nice to meet you. Name's Indigo Zap."
"Dark Ice. I don't know about you, but that match got me pretty hungry. Wanna grab a bite to eat?"
"Sounds perfect." Ice and Indigo made their way to the food court and started chatting about their lives. What movies they liked, their families, and their schools.
"Wow. This Cinch lady sounds like a grade-A pain."
"Yeah. I'm glad she got demoted. The new principal is also our dean. Not to mention she ditched that stupid uniform dresscode." The two of them shared a laugh, and Ice noticed her shirt. It was a picture of him in ranger form.
"I take it someone's a fan of the Duelist Rangers?" Indigo blushed a little after hearing Ice say that.
"Well...they are pretty awesome. Fighting off monsters to save the city, AND they got to drive a giant robot! I like the Red Dragon Ranger the best though. He's the most awesome in my book! Anyone who can wrap their fist in flame and launch it at a monster is someone I'd date!" Ice smiled as she went on about his ranger exploits.
'If only I could get her to like me just as much as my ranger form.' "Hey Zap? I'm not doing much tonight, so how about we meet up later at the movies? My treat."
"Sure. That'd be fun. There's a new Destiny Heroes movie coming out. We'll catch that!"
"Great! See you tonight!" Ice waved goodbye to Indigo as he called up Ace. "Hey bro. I'm ready for pick up. And I might ask Mom or Dad if I can borrow the car. Why? Simple. I've got a date!" Time went by fast, and soon enough Ice met up with Indigo for their date. However, Tirek was plotting his next attack! And it was going to take place at the movie theater Ice and Indigo were in!
"This monster should do quite well in dark places! Go forth Wall Shadow!" Wall Shadow teleported to Earth, and slithered along the shadows of the theater! Soon it popped out of the walls and began trashing the place! Ice saw what was going on, and took Indigo away to safety!
"Stay here Zap!"
"Ice are you crazy?! Let the Duelist Rangers handle that thing!"
"Don't worry! I can handle that thing no problem!" Ice rushed into the theatre and engaged Wall Shadow with a swift kick to the face! "Alright ugly! You're not ruining anyone else's night!" Wall Shadow just gurgled and charged at Ice with his claws! Ice easily dodged and launched a series of punches to Wall Shadow's body! Having had enough of playing fair, Wall Shadow blended into the walls and began striking Ice at random! ice barely had any time to block Wall Shadow's claw swipes! "Alright. Time to get serious!" Little did Ice know, Indigo was watching the fight through a slight crack in the doorway!
"I've gotta help Ice!" Indigo was about to call the police when she saw Ice touch the deivce on his arm. "What is he-?!" Indigo gasped at Ice's next words.
"It's morphin' time!" In a flash of light, Ice was replaced with the Red Dragon Ranger! Indigo couldn't believe it! Ice was a ranger! "You like to stick to the shadows, so let's see how you like the light!" Ice struck the ground and released a wave of energy that lit up the whole theater! Wall Shadow hissed as he was exposed and rooted from his cover! "Gotcha!" Ice summoned his sword and charged it full of energy! "Power Force Slash!" Wall Shadow was burnt to nothing as Ice unleashed a powerful wave of energy from his sword! Satisfied that his battle was won, Ice powered down. When he turned around, he came face-to-face with Indigo! "....How much of that did you see?"
"Enough to know my boyfriend is one of the coolest people on the planet!" Indigo pulled Ice in and kissed him! "So. Do you think we can take your zord for a spin?" Ice was silent for a minute, but then he smiled.
"I think we've had enough excitement for one night Zap. Wanna just grab some ice cream?"
"I'd like that." Indigo held onto Ice's arm. "So can you give me a tour of your base?" Ice let out a chuckle.
"Tomorrow. Most of the other rangers' girlfriends know about it. And that group includes you now too."
