12,000 years ago, twins from the Other Realm, known as Princess Darkseid and Prince Mephiles, were sent to conquer our realm.
But a group of aliens, each from different planets, joined forces to stop the twins. They became the Dawn Rangers.
After a long struggle against the twins' demon forces the Dawn Rangers were able to destroy Darkseid's body and had enough power left to seal Mephiles and their three most fierce demons Praedo Terrae, Monstrum Maris, and Princeps Caelum at where the twins' fortress once stood.
The Dawn Rangers were afraid of the return of the Dark Prince, so the Red Dawn Ranger stayed on Earth to make sure Mephiles won't be freed.
Even when a evil sorceress banished the Red Dawn Ranger in a time warp, he still made sure that no one found the urn that holds Mephiles.
But now Darkseid's spirit returned to conquer our realm with the help of the Lord of Evil and his wife, the Evil Sorceress.
The Red Ranger had created a Power Ranger team known as Lux lucis Vis. Now they are defending the world from the Dark Power and making sure Darkseid doesn't return to full power.
And now Darkseid is still looking for her brother's urn, which is yet to be found.
Power Rangers: Lux lucis Vis and the Prince of Darkness.
Chapter I: The Trip
Early morning at Boardman High, the Rangers and their parents were getting ready for the trip where the Seniors had planned to go to New York City. The Rangers were actually planning to go a day ahead and go to Z's Aunt and Uncle's house then to New York City.
The Rangers were planning on taking Chris's van for the trip as well. When everything was ready for the trip, the Rangers had to say goodbye to their families.
"Well Tyler, have fun and be safe," Tyler's mother said.
"I will," Tyler replied.
"Enjoy yourself Jon," Jon's mother said.
"I will," Jon replied.
"Chris have fun and make sure that car come back in one piece," Chris father said.
"Don't worry it will be fine," Chris replied with a little laugh.
"Okay Emile, when you get to New York make sure you call us," Emile's mother said.
"I will mom," Emile replied.
"Paige please be careful out there," Paige's father said.
"Don't worry, I'll be with my friends," Paige replied.
"Haley, be careful out there," Courtney said to her sister.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Haley said.
Brittany, have fun in New York," Brittany's mom said.
"I will," Brittany replied.
"Now Chris, make sure you thank your Aunt and Uncle for this when you get there," Z's mom said.
"Don't worry mom, I will," Z replied.
Soon the Rangers got into the car, Chris was at the driver seat with Paige in the passenger seat. Behind them was Tyler and Haley with Jon, Brittany, and Emile in the back seats and Z was sitting in the trunk space.
As the Rangers were pulling out, they gave one last wave to their families. Soon the Rangers were on 224 where they took the ramp off to the highway.
Chris turned on the GPS and said, "Alright everyone we're heading off to New York!"
The van full of Rangers were getting excited about their trip to New York.
The mountain is high, the valley is low
And you're confused 'bout which way to go
Soon the Rangers crossed the Ohio border to Pennsylvania.
So I flew here to give you a hand
And lead you into the promised land
After a few hours of driving the Rangers decided to stop and get something to eat.
So, come on and take a free ride (free ride)
Come on and take it by my side
After they were done eating, Chris passed the keys to Paige.
Come on and take a free ride
The Rangers continued on traveling on the highway.
All over the country, I'm seeing the same
Nobody's winning, at this kind of game
The Paige saw that they needed to refuel the car.
We gotta do better, it's time to begin
You know all the answers
After a quick stop at a gas station, Z decided to drive the rest of the way.
Must come from within
Later the Rangers finally made to New York state.
So, come on and take a free ride (free ride)
Come on and take it by my side
Then soon the Rangers ended up on a toll road that was backed up so far.
Come on and take a free ride
Just ride along
Yeah, yeah, yeah
"Damn EZ Pass," Z said slamming his head on the steering wheel.
After an hour of waiting, the Rangers arrived at Z's aunt and uncle's house. Z was the first one to reach the door and rang the door bell. Soon a woman answered the door, "Oh Chris you finally arrived," she said.
"Hi ciotka," Z said as he hugged his aunt.
"I'm guessing that these are your friends," Z's aunt said.
"Yes this Tyler, Jon, Chris, Emile, Paige, Haley, and Brittany," Z said introducing his friends.
"Hey Chris, long time no see," a tall man said as he entered the hallway.
"Hi wujek," Z said as he shock his uncle's hand.
"Well come on in," Z's aunt said as she guide the group of teenagers to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Z's aunt got everyone drinks and got into conversation, "So how long are you planning to stay in New York City?" she asked.
"Well since we are a day ahead of the rest of the seniors at our school, we'll be here for four days," Tyler explained.
"Oh wow and are your parents fine with this?" Z's aunt asked again.
"Yeah they were okay with us here," Paige replied.
"Well what time are you leaving to go to the city?" Z's uncle said.
"Well since it's noon maybe at two we'll go to the city," Chris said, "Right?"
The other Rangers nodded at the agreement.
The hours past as the Rangers were at the train station, waiting for the next train to come. They also decided to change their cloths. Tyler was in a white short-sleeved button up shirt with a white shirt underneath and a blue jeans, Jon has a red short-sleeve shirt with khaki shorts, Chris has a blue hoodie opened to a white undershirt with jeans, Emile was wear a green short-sleeve shirt and jeans, Paige was wearing an orange top and white jeans, Haley was wearing a yellow sleeveless hoodie and jeans, Brittany had a pink shirt with khaki shorts, and Z had a black shirt with khaki pants.
"So what do you when we get to the city?" Z asked.
"We need to see the Chrysler Building," Jon said. ("The Empire State Building," Emile added. ("And we should also see a Broadway show," Paige included.
"But the problem with that is what Broadway show do we see," Haley said.
"True," Paige replied with a chuckle as the train arrived. (The train halted and the door opened to let passengers on and off the train and then the Rangers went on the train, and by luck ended up in an empty train car.
"So happy that Zedd and Rita are not active right now," Paige said.
"But they've been too quiet," Emile stated, "Remember what happened last time?"
"Oh god, Madam Woe," Chris moaned.
"Might as well check," Tyler said and he pulled out his Communicator, "Zordon, Alpha, this is Tyler do you read me?"
"Yes Tyler we read you," Zordon responded, "Is anything wrong?"
"It's been too quiet with Zedd and Rita, can you verify that?" Tyler asked.
"We're starting to analyze right now," Alpha said. There was a brief pause until Alpha responded, "Zedd, Rita, and their minions never left the moon since Venjix's defeat and Tray receiving his powers back."
"Okay, thank you Zordon," Tyler replied.
The rest of the train ride was quiet until the Rangers arrived at Grand Central. "Here we are at Grand Central!" Z announced
"Finally," Paige said, "Where should we head first?"
"How about Times Square?" Jon suggested.
"It's a great place to start," Chris stated.
"Plus, we can see what's on Broadway," Z added.
The Rangers walked out of Grand Central, they first noticed the Chrysler Building. They decided to get a few pictures before heading for Times Square. On the walk there, the Rangers decided to stop into some stores and see what they have.
Unknown to the Rangers at a large nearby construction site that was about 300 feet deep, workers were digging deeper. One of the workers was digging until his shovel hit something hard. The worker bent down to see what he hit, and to his surprise he saw what looked like a small manhole cover with bizarre symbols. "Hey I think I found something!" he shouted.
Other workers ran over to see what was going on, "What the hell is going on?" another worker asked.
"I found this manhole cover, but I never seen symbols like these," the first worker replied.
"Well let's see what's underneath it," A worker with a crowbar said.
The man poked the crowbar into the side of the manhole and used his strength to lift it up and flipped it open. A vent of stem burst from the hole as the ground started to shake. the workers started to back off as four pillars pushed their way out of the ground and from the hole an alter with an urn raised up till it was half the height of the four pillars.
Pedestrians who felt the shake came to the fence to see what was going on. "What is this?" a worker asked.
"I believe we got ourselves a rich investment," another worker said as he approached the urn.
Then a sharp pain hit the back of the worker's neck, the others stared at a dart that was in the man's neck as he started to have a seizure. "We need help!" someone shouted.
The Rangers were approaching Times Square when their Communicator started to go off. "Big surprise there," Jon said.
"Come on guys," Tyler said as he lead the Rangers to an alley. "What is it?" he answered.
"Rangers, Zordon needs you at the Command Center," Alpha said.
The Rangers nodded as they teleported out of there.
At the Command Center, different alarms were going off and Alpha was running around in a panic. The Rangers arrived in the Power Chamber, confused of what's going on. "Alpha, what's wrong?" Tyler asked.
"The sensors are going crazy!" Alpha replied, "A huge spike of evil had appeared! Ayeyaiyai!"
"Rangers," Zordon said as he appeared in his tube, "We need to act swiftly as our realm is in grave danger."
"Danger from what?" Paige asked.
"The ruins where Mephiles was buried has been accidently uncovered," Zordon said, "If Mephiles is released he can have the power to resurrect Darkseid's body and they'll will finish what they started 12,000 years ago."
"The Demons of Terror?" Chris said.
"Correct," Zordon replied.
"Where are the demons buried?" Emile asked.
"The Demons of Terror were buried near Mephiles is. If Mephiles is freed he'll sure to find them," Alpha answered.
"Be careful Rangers, we are dealing with a being beyond all evil," Zordon warned.
In a hotel in New York City, Z's older brother, Derrick, and his friends arrived to their rooms, "That was one hell of a trip," Dave said.
"I know," Derrick replied tossing his bag on the bed, "We should relax for the rest of the night and go sightseeing tomorrow. Who know maybe we'll run into Chris and his friends."
"Your brother is here?" Amanda asked.
"Yeah he and his Senior class decided to take a trip to here," Derrick said as he turned on the TV and the news came on.
"Today, a great discovery has been made," the reporter said, "At a construction site workers found an alter with a urn on top, but lately all attempts to get close to the urn leave those who try to retrieve the urn were hit by poison darts." The screen showed a man trying to get the urn with a extendable clamp, but a dart hit him in the neck. Then the screen went back to the reporter. "It sent thirteen people to the hospital and so far two lives were claimed. According to researchers on the pillars read ancient texted that is a mixture of many languages said 'The four guardians will keep away those who would attempt on freeing the Prince of Darkness.' It seems that whoever left these ruins behind didn't want to any to disturb it. But the discovery of this alter it cause scientist from around the world to come and study it and find the connection this has to the Price of Darkness. Was this meant to be discovered or did we find something that was never meant to be found?"
"Yeah right," Derrick said as he changed the channel, "I won't believe this unless I see it for myself."
