He is eventually captured by Sledge, being a prisoner on his ship in Solitary Confinement. Heckyl is released from Solitary Confinement to use his human-like appearance to obtain the Purple Energem. He fails at this and is thrown back into Solitary Confinement until Sledge is presumably destroyed when his ship crashes on Earth. He then takes over Sledge’s Ship and plots to obtain the Energem by getting a job at the Dino Bite Cafe and getting close to the Dino Charge Rangers. Heckyl’s true identity is eventually revealed to the Dino Charge Rangers, with him sending monster going forward to obtain the Energems. When Lord Arcanon arrives on Earth, Heckyl is put back into Solitary Confinement, where he begins to remember his past life and is separated from Snide after Snide makes a deal with Lord Arcanon.

Snide is able to communicate with Heckyl when he is in control via his pocket watch. After Lord Arcanon takes control of Sledge’s Ship, Snide pledges his loyalty to Lord Arcanon in exchange for separating him from Heckyl. However, this is all revealed to be a ruse as Sledge comes back and destroys him and his followers. After feeling pushed out of Sledge’s plans, Snide decides to take the Dark Energem to destroy the Dino Charge Rangers himself by breaking into their base and fighting the Purple Dino Charge Ranger. He then fights all the Dino Charge Rangers and Heckyl but is destroyed by a combined blast attack.
