Audrey walked up to Chad. "Chad, please consider joining us." She pleaded.
"And why should I do that when your team has those six VKs in it?" Chad asked.
"Chad, their parents are the guilty ones, not them. Let it go."
"Let it go? LET IT GO?! Did you forget one of them sprayed me with a sleeping potion?!"
"Evie only acted out of defense. I forgave her for that, as did Doug and Lonnie."
"Wow, Audrey. Working with those guys really has messed with your head."
"Chad, please." Ben said, walking to them, as well as Mal, Doug, Jane, Allie, Jordan, and Ruby. "They've shown us that our strength comes from working together as one. You're just blinded by your pride to see that."
"We need you on our side, Chad." Jane said.
"No more neutrality." Doug said.
"Chad, you saw what those Dark Rangers are capable of." Ruby said.
"You really think you could take them on all by yourself?" Jordan asked.
"Not just them, but those other VKs you guys are working with." Chad replied.
"Chad, my friends and I are not our parents." Mal said.
Chad scoffed. "Tell you what. I'll join you guys when one of you VKs saves me in a fight." He told Mal then walked off.
Meanwhile, the Dark Rangers had set up a base outside on the Forbidden Mountains and were establishing a laboratory with technology they'd stolen.
"This is going very well." CJ said.
After a while, the lab was all set up and they saw the VKs, Ben and Audrey walking on the beach at Belle's Harbor and smirked. "Let's go." CJ said and the Dark Rangers headed to Belle's Harbor and cut the assembled Defender Rangers off.
Mal and Evie frowned at the sight of Vickie. "Hello, Vickie." Mal greeted unenthusiastically.
"Mal, Evie." Vickie said.
"Call it, M." John said.
"With pleasure." Mal said then they raised their Morphers. "It's morphin' time!" The Defender Rangers then all but Ben and Audrey summoned their Morphers. "Defender Ranger, Power Up! Ha!" They all said then morphed.
"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 Leopard! Crimson Defender Ranger!" John said.
"Power of the Swan! Pink Defender Ranger!" Audrey said.
"Power of the Beast! Gold Defender Ranger!" Ben said.
"Auradon's Protectors Never Back Down!" All eight said. "Power Rangers Auradon Defenders!"
"Dark Ranger, Dino Power!" The Dark Rangers said, morphing.
"Tyrannosaurus Rex! Dark Red Ranger!" Ginny said.
"Velociraptor! Dark Purple Ranger!" Mad Maddy said.
"Carnotaur! Dark Yellow Ranger!" Gaston Jr said.
"Spinosaur! Dark Green Ranger!" Gaston the Third said.
"Pterodactyl! Dark Black Ranger!" Khai Yu said.
"Dimetrodon! Dark Blue Ranger!" CJ said.
"Mosasaur! Dark White Ranger!" Clay said.
"Plesiosaur! Dark Pink Ranger!" Vickie said.
"With Villainous Might, Ready to Fight! We are... the Dark Rangers!" The eight said in unison.
The two Ranger teams charged each other, Khai Yu and Jay fighting each other, CJ and Freddie fighting each other, Evie and Vickie fight each other, Mal and Mad Maddy fighting each other, John and Gaston Jr fighting each other, Carlos and Clay fighting each other, Ben and Gaston the Third fighting each other, and Audrey and Ginny fighting each other.
The battle ended up being a stalemate and the Dark Rangers retreated.
The Defender Rangers headed back to the lab and demorphed.
"Man, those guys are stubborn." Audrey said.
"They're VKs like us." Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Freddie, and John said.
"But if they won't give up, neither will we." Mal said, earning nods from her teammates.
In their lair, the Dark Rangers walked in, Khai Yu looking at CJ. "Why do we keep leaving before we can finish those Rangers?!" She demanded.
"Because we've seen how strong they are. Plus, I enjoy a challenge." The Dark Blue Ranger said.
"So, who's the next goody good Ranger's parents we're targeting?" Ginny asked.
"The Pink Ranger's." CJ replied.
"Then let's do it." The Gastons and Clay said. The Dark Rangers then made their way to Auroria.
In the lab, the alarm went off and the Rangers saw the Dark Rangers were terrorizing Auroria.
Audrey growled. "Now they've gone too far. I'll show those guys why they don't attack my hometown."
"Call for backup if things get ugly." Mal said.
Audrey nodded then headed off.
CJ forced Queen Aurora, Prince Phillip, and Queen Leah against a wall as the Dark Rangers laughed evilly.
"It's a shame Mal isn't the one doing this, but we are more than happy to do it." Mad Maddy said.
Audrey ran to into view and growled. "Get away from my family!" She said, running in and kicking all eight Dark Rangers away from them.
"Audrey, what are you doing here? You should get to safety." Aurora said.
"They're the ones who should be worried about their safety, cause it's morphin' time!" Audrey said, pulling out her Wing Baton then pressing the button on it.
"Defender Ranger, Power Up! Ha!" She said then she morphed. "Power of the Swan! Pink Defender Ranger!"
The Dark Rangers stood up and drew their Sabers.
"Wing Batons!" Audrey said, summoning her weapons.
She then charged at the Dark Rangers and the battle began. It soon became a stalemate until Ginny pinned Audrey to a wall near Aurora, Phillip, and Queen Leah.
"Had enough, princess?" Ginny snarled.
"You wish. Knight Armor Mode!" Audrey said, morphing to her Knight Armor Mode, which gave her the advantage against the Dark Rangers.
"I'm sick and tired of this!" Vickie said.
"Dino Zords!" The Dark Rangers said, their Zords appearing then they mounted them.
Audrey contacted her team. "Guys, bring the Zords."
"We're on our way!" Mal said.
"I'll stall for time." Audrey said. "Swan Zord!"
Her Zord soon flew in and she boarded it.
"We're taking you down, Pinky!" CJ said.
"I don't think so! Lasers! Fire!" Audrey said, her Zord firing its lasers.
"Ptera Fire Blast!" Khai Yu said, her Zord breathing fire and hitting Audrey's Zord, making it hit the ground.
"Now what was it you said, Pinky?" CJ asked, laughing evilly until purple lasers hit her Dimetro Zord.
Audrey looked up to see Mal's Raven Zord had arrived, along with the rest of the Defender Zords.
The Dark Rangers regrouped. "Let's show these posers our new power!" CJ said.
"Oh yeah!" The Dark Rangers said then the Velociraptor Zord and the Tyranno Zord formed a Megazord, the Velociraptor Zord forming the right arm. The Dimetro Zord and Carno Zord formed a Megazord, the Dimetro Zord, forming the right arm. The Ptera Zord, Spino Zord, Mosa Zord, and Plesio Zord converted to Warrior Modes.
"No way!" The Defender Rangers said.
"Like our new Megazords?" CJ taunted.
"Try ours!" The Defender Rangers said.
"Defender Megazord Formation!" Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Freddie, and Lonnie said, forming the Defender Megazord.
"Ultra Megazord Formation!" Ben, Audrey, Ally, and Jane said, forming the Ultra Megazord.
"Dragon Zord! Warrior Mode!" Jordan said, her Zord converting to Warrior Mode.
"Lion Zord! Warrior Mode!" Ruby said, her Zords changing to Warrior Mode. "Leopard Zord and Cheetah Zord, attach!" She, John, and Doug said then the Leopard and Cheetah Zords linked with the Lion Zord.
They all soon saw the Bear Zord running to them. "Bear Zord! Warrior Mode!" Chad said.
The Bear Zord stood on its hind legs and the front legs moved down to the sides as the head moved to the chest and the cockpit appeared.
The Megazord battle began shortly after that, with the Defender Rangers emerging the victors and the Dark Rangers were forced to retreat.
Once the battle ended, Audrey disembarked the Ultra Megazord and took her helmet off and walked to her parents and grandmother. "Mom, Daddy, Grammy, are you guys okay?" She asked and they nodded.
"And we are also very proud of you, dear." Queen Leah said.
"What you did just now was very brave." Phillip said.
"And we'll keep your secret, honey." Aurora said.
Audrey smiled and hugged her family and they hugged back. When they pulled away, Audrey put her helmet back on then re-entered the Ultra Megazord and the Rangers headed back to Auradon Prep.
In the lab, the Rangers demorphed and congratulated Audrey on her fight then left the lab and went on with their school day.
In their lair, the Dark Rangers were not happy.
"We need to crush those Rangers!" Clay said.
"We will." Ginny said.
"I'll be the one to take down Mal and Evie." Vickie said.
"We'll take them all down, but we can only do it if we stick together." CJ said, holding out her fist and her teammates followed suit.
"Dark Rangers! Long Live Evil!" They said in unison.
That's chapter fourteen. Review and I'll post more chapters.
