The Dark Rangers were setting up a machine that would create monsters for their purposes with the technology they stole. They set the machine to be fueled by either Mad Maddy's magic or Vickie's, since were the only Dark Rangers who had magic.

When they finished, they saw Chad Charming was with his parents outside of Cinderellasburg and smirked.

"Let's go." CJ said then they morphed and headed to Chad and his parents.

As they walked, Chad had told his parents who the Dark and Defender Rangers were, but left out the part of him being the Gray Ranger.

"So, Mal, the other VKs, and several of your classmates are Power Rangers?" Cinderella asked.

"Yep." Chad replied when the Dark Rangers ran to him, already morphed, and they fell into a fighting stance.

The Charming family saw them and Chad sighed. "Do you guys ever take a vacation?" He asked, frowning.

"Not when we intend to fight." CJ said.

"Fine. Then give me a sec." He said, then summoned and raised his Morpher. "Gray Ranger, Energize." He said, instantly morphing. "Power of the Bear! Gray Ranger!" He said then he drew his Bear Scimitar. "Let's just make this quick." He said then took off running with superhuman speed, hitting all of the Dark Rangers.

Mal and John witnessed the fight. Mal looked at him, and John looked at her and shook his head, knowing what she was planning.

"You're insane." He told her.

"Maybe, but Chad needs our help, whether he wants to admit it or not." Mal said.

John sighed. "Fine. Call it." He said.

"Ready?" She asked.

"Ready." John replied.

The two raised their arms then summoned their Morphers.

"Defender Ranger, Power Up! Ha!" They said in unison, then morphed. "Defender Power!" They said as CJ raised her Dimetro Saber, blocking Chad's attempted attack on her, then struck him twice, sending him to his back.

CJ laughed evilly. "You wanted this over. Well, consider it over, pretty boy." She said then attempted to strike him down with her saber, but John intervened and blocked her blow with his Hammer as Mal ran in and struck CJ twice with her Sword.

John then turned to Chad. "You gonna sit there or are you gonna help us send these punks running?" He asked.

Chad nodded then stood up.

"Let's make this fast. We have a game tonight." Mal said. "Feather Sword!"

"Leopard Hammer!" John said.

"Bear Scimitar!" Chad said then the three Defender Rangers charged the Dark Rangers.

John took on Khai Yu and Clay while Mal took on CJ, Mad Maddy, and Vickie and Chad took on the Gaston brothers.

The battle ended in a stalemate and the Dark Rangers retreated.

Chad looked at Mal and John when the three demorphed. "Thanks." He said.

The VKs nodded then headed back to Auradon Prep.

Chad looked at his parents.

"Son, you should help them." Cinderella said.

Chad had a conflicted look on his face. One part of him was solidly against working with the other Defender Rangers because of Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Freddie, and John. But another part of him reminded him that he honors his word.

The ground soon started to rumble and he saw the Defender Megazord and the Ultra Megazord taking on the Plesio Zord and Mosa Zords' Warrior Modes and noticed John was watching nearby then he saw Khai Yu sneaking up on him.

"I know you guys can beat these punks. Stay focused." John said, then turned around as Khai Yu struck him down. "You again?!"

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time." Khai Yu said, raising her Ptera Saber.

"No!" Chad said, instantly morphing and running at superhuman speed, his Scimitar in his hand and he blocked Khai Yu's Saber. "Get back, Khai Yu!"

"You!" She snarled as Chad pushed her Saber back then kicked her back a couple feet.

"Chad?" John asked, confused.

Chad looked at John and offered a hand to him. "I'm a man of my word." He said, explaining that he told Mal that if one of the VK Defender Rangers saved him, he'd join their team.

John nodded, taking Chad's hand and Chad helped John up. "Then let's take Khai Yu down as a team." John said.

"You know it." Chad said as CJ snuck up behind Chad. John noticed and looked at Chad.

"Duck!" He said. Chad obliged as John raised his Hammer and struck CJ. "Change of plans. Can you handle CJ, man?"

Chad nodded. "Leave her to me."

John nodded then charged at Khai Yu as Chad took on CJ.

As they fought the two Dark Rangers, Mal noticed them working together. "Guys, look!" She said, and the ten Defender Rangers saw Chad and John working together.

"Chad, are you on our side?" Ben asked.

"Yes, I am. You know I'm a man of my word, Ben." Chad replied.

"Alright." Ben said.

The two battles ended with the Defender Rangers as the victors while the Dark Rangers retreated.

Doug, Jordan, and Ruby met up with John and Chad as Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Freddie, Lonnie, Ben, Audrey, Jane, and Allie disembarked from their Megazords and walked to John and Chad.

"Welcome to the team, Chad." Mal said.

Chad nodded. "Thanks, Mal."

The Defender Rangers headed to the lab and demorphed and headed upstairs to get ready for the game.

On the Isle of the Lost, the villains watched as Chad had sided with the Defender Rangers.

"Great. Now those Rangers have the Gray Ranger in their ranks." Lady Tremaine said, frowning.

"And is anyone else curious as to why the Dark Rangers seem to have turned against us?" The Horned King asked.

"It doesn't matter. One way or another, the Power Rangers will fall." Maleficent said.

At the game, Ben, Chad, Jay, and Carlos were on the field with the team, facing off against the Sherwood Falcons and the Fighting Knights ended up winning the game with the score being 4 to 1.

In their lair, the Dark Rangers sat around at their table.

"Now we're in trouble." Ginny said.

"There better not be any other Defender Rangers out there." Gaston Jr said, earning a nod from his brother.

"Forget the Defender Rangers. What about these other Power Rangers out there?" Mad Maddy asked, remembering the Defender Rangers had fought alongside other Ranger teams.

"It matters not." Vickie said in a dismissive way.

"Vickie's right." Clay said.

"No matter how many they have, we'll beat them all." Khai Yu said.

"Because we're evil to the core!" CJ finished.

The Dark Rangers all laughed evilly.

That's chapter fifteen. That's also the end of my Family Secret Saga. Next update will feature the Operation Overdrive Rangers, the Fearcats, a new Warrior who will side with the Defender Rangers, and a dark ending. Review to see all this and more.
