The villains sat in the Castle Across the Way, looking at Evil Queen, who had just told them a plan she had.

"Are you mad, Your Majesty?!" Frollo asked.

"The Rangers will suspect it if there's no commander." Lady Tremaine said.

"But there will be a commander. Jafar has agreed to use his magic to this plan." Evil Queen said.

"I will create an army of humanoid snakes and two Cobras, one to lead them and one to retrieve Maleficent." Jafar said, then used his magic to do just that then opened a portal and they went through the portal, but one Cobra remained behind.

The Rangers sat in their various classes. After class, Mal and Ben went to the room in the library that served as Maleficent's prison. Ben told the guards to stand aside, and they did, opening the door.

"Five minutes." One of the guards said as Mal and Ben walked into the room and saw Maleficent for once wasn't asleep. The small lizard looked at the couple, and even though her mother was a lizard, Mal knew her mother wasn't happy to see them.

Mal walked to her mother. "Mom, did you tell the villains to work together if something like this happened?"

Almost as if she understood Mal, Maleficent shook her head, but something inside the Rangers' leader to her that her mother was pleased about the fact that the incident at Ben's coronation was able to bring the villains together.

Mal's wristwatch beeped and she answered. "What's going on, Fairy Godmother?" She asked.

"Mal, get the others and get down here! It's urgent!" Fairy Godmother said.

"On it." Mal said then she and Ben left the room and the door shut the minute they were out of the room. They soon found Evie, Jay, Carlos, Freddie, Lonnie, Jane, Audrey, Jordan, and Allie were relaxing on the tourney field and ran to them.

Mal looked at Jane, but addressed the other Rangers. "We need to get down to the lab. Jane's mom sounded freaked."

The Rangers then headed to the lab and saw the Snakes and one of the Cobras were just outside Auradon City.

"Okay, if there's snakes, then that means my dad's behind them." Jay said.

"Let's get to work, Rangers." Mal said then they headed outside the city and intercepted the Snakes.

"You musssst be the Power Rangerssss." Cobra said.

"See for yourself, Cobra." Jay said.

"It's morphin' time!" The Rangers said in unison then all but Jane, Ben, Audrey, Allie, and Jordan summoned their Morphers. Jane pulled out her wand, Ben pulled out his spear, Audrey pulled out her baton, Allie pulled out her shield, and Jordan pulled out her saber.

"Defender Ranger, Power Up! Ha!" They said in unison then morphed. Allie's helmet has a manta's design to it while Jordan's had a dragon's design to it.

"Power of the Raven! Purple Defender Ranger!" Mal said.

"Power of the Deer! Blue Defender Ranger!" Evie said.

"Power of the Snake! Black Defender Ranger!" Jay said.

"Power of the Wolf! Red Defender Ranger!" Carlos said.

"Power of the Gator! Green Defender Ranger!" Freddie said.

"Power of the Tiger! Yellow Defender Ranger!" Lonnie said.

"Power of the Hammerhead! Silver Defender Ranger!" Jane said.

"Power of the Swan! Pink Defender Ranger!" Audrey said.

"Power of the Beast! Gold Defender Ranger!" Ben said.

"Power of the Manta! White Defender Ranger!" Allie said.

"Power of the Dragon! Aqua Defender Ranger!" Jordan said.

"Auradon's Protectors Never Back Down!" The Rangers said as one. "Power Rangers Auradon Defenders!"

The Covra hissed at them.

"Let's do it, guys." Mal said then held her hand out. "Feather Sword!" She said then summoned her weapon.

"Apple Grenades!" Evie said, holding her weapon in her hand.

"Lamp Axe!" Jay said, his weapon appearing in his hand.

"Kunai Collar!" Carlos said, his collar appearing.

"Gator Chucks!" Freddie said, her weapon ready.

"Tiger Dagger!" Lonnie said, holding her weapon.

"Hammerhead Wand!" Jane said, her weapon ready.

"Wing Batons!" Audrey said, her weapons in hand.

"Golden Spear!" Ben said, grasping his weapon.

"Manta Shield!" Allie said, a shield resembling a manta appearing in her hand.

"Dragon Saber!" Jordan said, a sabre with a dragon head shaped crystal at the end of the hilt appearing in her hand.

"Okay, Rangers! Let's skin some snakes!" Mal said then the Rangers charged the Snakes, who charged back.

As the Rangers fought the Snakes, a portal opened in Maleficent's cell and the other Cobra slipped through then lifted the jar.

"Masssster Jafar hassss ssssent me to retrieve you, Maleficcccent." He told her, holding out his hand and the lizard crawled onto his hand. He then threw the jar at the security camera in the cell, destroying it, then jumped back through the portal, which then closed.

Meanwhile, the Rangers had finished off the Snakes and were ganging up on the first Cobra. Mal sent it flying with a powerful strike from her sword.

"Come on, Rangers! Let's finish this!" Mal said.

"Defender Cannon!" The Rangers said in unison, summoning the cannon then fired it at Cobra, destroying him.

A portal opened and a growth potion appeared then made Cobra grow and the second Cobra soon appeared.

"Great. Two of them."

"One for your Megazords." Jordan said, as her Zord was still not finished.

"Let's do it, guys!" Mal said. "Raven Zord!"

"Deer Zord!" Evie said.

"Snake Zord!" Jay said.

"Wolf Zord!" Carlos said.

"Gator Zord!" Freddie said.

"Tiger Zord!" Lonnie said.

The Defender Zords came charging in.

"Ultra Zord!" Ben said.

"Hammerhead Zord!" Jane said.

"Swan Zord!" Audrey said.

"Manta Zord!" Allie said.

"Here we go!" Mal said as she, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Freddie, Lonnie, Ben, Audrey, Jane, and Allie mounted their Zords.

"Defender Megazord formation!" Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Freddie, and Lonnie said, forming their Megazord. "Defender Megazord online!"

"Ultra Megazord formation!" Ben, Audrey, Jane, and Allie said.

The Ultra Zord transformed into the body and legs while the Hammerhead Zord attached to the left side of the body and the Swan Zord attached to the right side of the body. The Ultra Zord then lifted up and stood up. The Manta Zord formed the cockpit then mounted on top of the Ultra Zord. "Ultra Megazord online!"

"All right, Rangers! Let's take care of business!" Mal said. "Gator Sword!" The six in the Defender Megazord said, drawing the Gator Sword.

"Ultra Spear!" Ben, Audrey, Jane, and Allie said then a gold spear, identical to Ben's Golden Spear, appeared in the Ultra Megazord's hand.

The Megazords and Cobras charged each other, but the Rangers struck the Cobras down.

"Gator Sword! Final Strike!" Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Freddie, and Lonnie said, finishing off the Cobra they were fighting.

"Ultra Spear! Final Strike!" Ben, Audrey, Jane, and Allie said, blasting the last Cobra with a powerful blast, destroying him.

"Defender Rangers, Auradon is safe!" Mal said.

The Rangers then headed back to the lab.

Doug came running out of nowhere. "Bad news, guys. I think I know why there were two Cobras." He said then played the footage of Maleficent being retrieved.

"Then the entire battle was just to keep us distracted!" Mal said.

"This is very bad." Evie said.

"What are they gonna do with Maleficent?" Carlos asked.

"I have a feeling we'll know soon enough, Rangers." Fairy Godmother said.

Meanwhile, on the Isle of the Lost, Evil Queen looked through one of her spell books then recited a spell that returned Maleficent to her normal self.

"Finally! I'm baaaack!" Maleficent said. "And those Rangers will regret what they've done."

The villains all laughed maniacally.
