One night, back in 1996, I had a very strange dream. I wore the uniform of a Ranger and was searching a dark and gloomy castle. The long light was the reddish glow coming from the end of a long corridor. Opening the door and following the glow down a long spiral staircase, I entered the castle vault.
There were three red crystal coffins, each containing a Ranger. Only Zachary was awake, standing with his back to the door. As I entered, he turned around.
“I’ve been waiting for you,” he said, handing me three red crystals.
Until Hearst gets the Rangers out of the Psychocrypt, I hope this fanfic archive will help keep interest in the series and continue the adventures of these fine characters. Stories are listed by author. A badge indicates a novel-length fanfic.
