Author's Note: The fight between John and Chad is the same as Conner and Trent's fight in Burning at Both Ends

In their cavern, the Dark Rangers sat around at a table they had set up.

"Did you guys see how Evie looked at her own stepsister with that worried look?" Khai Yu asked.

The other Dark Rangers nodded.

"Maybe we should focus on the goody good Rangers' parents." Ginny said.

"Sounds like a plan." CJ said.

"My brother and I have a score to settle with Beast and Belle for what they'd done to our father." Gaston Jr said, earning a nod from his brother.

"Have at 'em, boys." CJ said.

The brothers nodded and headed off.

Meanwhile, the Defender Rangers were sitting around the lab as Doug and Carlos were working on a new Morpher. This one had a lion's design to it and had a scarlet color.

John walked to them. "Is it ready?" He asked.

They both nodded.

"Alright. I'll go upstairs and let Fairy Godmother know it's ready." He said then headed upstairs to Fairy Godmother's office.

The headmistress looked at him. "Is it done?"

He nodded. "I'll go get Ruby."

She nodded back.

John headed out of her office, humming his father's song. It was early in the morning and the only other person up was Chad, who cut John off when he was outside.

"It's not safe to be alone at this time. Something bad could happen to you." Chad said.

"I don't wanna fight, Chad." John said.

"Well, that makes one of us." Chad said then summoned and raised his Morpher. "Gray Ranger, Energize." He said then instantly morphed. "Bring it on, Facilier."

John sighed. "Have it your way." He said then summomed his Morpher. "Defender Ranger, Power Up! Ha!" He said then morphed. "Power of the Leopard! Crimson Defender Ranger!" He said then fell into a fighting stance. "Show me what you got."

"No problem." Chad said then charged at John and the two fought. John soon had hold of Chad's wrists and looked at him.

"We don't have to do this. Why won't you fight alongside us?" John asked.

"Because your little team has you VKs in it. And I refuse to help VKs." Chad replied.

"Fine. If that's how you want it." John said then the two punched each other in the chest, sending each other back a few feet. John held his Hammer and Chad held his Scimitar. They charged at each other, hitting their weapons then their weapons landed on their shoulders then they struck each other.

John growled then leapt into the air at the same time as Chad.

"Leopard Hammer!" John said.

"Bear Scimitar!" Chad said.

The two struck each other in midair.

Chad growled at John. "This isn't over, little man." He said then took off.

"Until next time, pretty boy." John growled. "Power down!" He said then demorphed then walked to Ruby's room and knocked on her door.

She walked to her door a few minutes later and opened it. "Oh, hey, John."

"Hey, Ruby. Did I wake you up?" John asked.

"Actually, no. I've been up for a couple of hours." She replied.

He nodded. "I need to talk to you about something. Come with me."

"Okay?" She said then they headed to Fairy Godmother's office, John explaining everything about who the Defender Rangers and Dark Rangers were, and how they wanted her to join them.

"So, you guys want me to join you?" Ruby asked when they entered Fairy Godmother's office.

Fairy Godmother nodded at Ruby then the three of them headed downstairs to the lab.

When they arrived, they noticed Ben was missing.

"Mal, where'd Ben go?" Fairy Godmother asked.

"He said he had a few kingly things to take care of for the day." Mal said.

The three nodded and the rest of the Rangers brought Ruby up to speed on their mission.

Meanwhile, Ben was walking to his father's castle when he saw Gaston's twin sons holding his parents, Beast and Belle, as hostages. Ben ran to them.

"Hey!" Ben shouted, causing the two Dark Rangers and his parents to look at him.

"Ben, get out of here!" Beast said.

"Just the guy we were looking for." The Dark Ranger twins said.

Ben frowned. "And now you'll see why you don't mess with my parents." He said then pulled out his Spear. "It's morphin' time!" He said then morphed. "Power of the Beast! Gold Defender Ranger!" He said then held his Spear. "Do your worst, boys."

"With pleasure!" They said then charged at him and he charged at them, blocking their sabers with his spear.

Beast and Belle watched as their son took on the twin sons of their enemy. "The King, a high school student, and a Power Ranger." Belle said.

"A full plate, yet he manages to balance all three." Beast said.

Ben kicked both of the brothers back several feet.

Gaston Jr growled. "That's it! I'm done toying around!" He said.

"Yeah!" Gaston the Third said.

"Dino Zords!" The twins said, a Dark Yellow Carno Zord stomping to them, along with a Dark Green Spino Zord. The two then mounted their Zords.

Ben contacted his team. "Guys, I need the Ultra Megazord!"

"The Ultra Zord, Hammerhead Zord, Swan Zord, and Manta Zord are on their way." Doug said and the four Zords made their way to Ben and he boarded his Zord.

"Ultra Megazord formation!" Ben said, forming the Ultra Megazord. "I'm taking you two down!"

"Bring it!" The twins challenged.

"Your mistake. Ultra Spear!" Ben said, the Megazord holding the Ultra Spear. He then charged the Dino Zords and struck them both with strong blows.

"Carno Zord! Tail attack!" Gaston Jr said, his Zord spinning, but Ben blocked the attack with the Ultra Spear and jab the Carno Zord.

"This isn't working, bro! We need to fall back!" Gaston the Third said.

Gaston Jr growled. "This isn't over, Gold Ranger!" He said then the Dino Zords retreated.

Ben dismounted the Ultra Megazord. "Power down!" Ben said, demorphing, then he looked at his parents.

"Ben, that was so brave." Belle said.

"Thanks, Mom."

"And we'll keep this a secret, Son." Beast said.

"Thanks, you guys. I should be heading back to the others." Ben said.

His parents nodded. "Be careful, Ben." Belle advised.

"I will." Ben said, then headed back to the lab.

Meanwhile, the Gaston twins made it back to the cavern.

"Man, that guy was brutal." Gaston Jr said.

"No doubt." Gaston the Third said.

"Let me guess. The Gold Ranger kicked your butts around?" Ginny asked.

"Not now, Gothel." The brothers said.

"It doesn't matter." CJ said. "We'll take down those Rangers one way or another."

Meanwhile, on the Isle of the Lost, the villains watched as Ben took on the Dino Zords.

"It seems all the Rangers have been underestimated." Jafar said.

"No matter. They'll fall." Maleficent said.

That's chapter twelve. Review and more chapters will be posted.
