"Hour of the Wolf." It's that hour between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning a time when fears and regrets and worries seize your mind so you can't sleep.

Chapter One: In the Hour of the Wolf

She dodged right, rolled left, jumped back and ducked avoiding the sword swung by the giant monkey in gold armor. Things couldn't be worse, today had just been one of those days she didn't want to get out of bed but of course it was a school day. Goldar laugh manically as he neared the small human. After the near miss of the last blast she had an opening and kicked her morpher out away from the manic. Rolling she came up with her morpher in hand. Turning to face Goldar she raised her morpher. As she cried out "Raptor" it transformed her into the Purple Ranger. As the transformation was complete she prepared to continue the battle. Suddenly the hair on the back of her neck stood on end and she barely had time to duck away from the attack turning she found Scorpina. She settled into a stance prepared for their attack, both raised their weapons and released an energy blast at the young woman.

Christal Zitana Steele's eyes flew opened and for a moment she was at a loss as to her location. Slowly after taking in the surroundings she remembered where she was. In her room in the Lightspeed Aqua base deep beneath the ocean surface. She sat up and looked at the clock a groan escaped her lips she reached over and grabbed a note book off the night stand. She scribbled down:

Dreamt of first trip to Dark Dimension didn't finish sequence again. Theory as to why: Plain and simple my memories are stimulated by becoming the red ranger. That and I really miss Zordon. I should probably talk to Jason about it see if he's had dreams. Talk to Tommy and he said he's had dreams about past battles. Also should Call Tanya & Adam see how they are and how near tour will come to MB. Note to self: Start planning on taking Anniversary off to spend with others.

Chris set the note book back on the table and thought about the dream. She smiled at how short she uses to be compared to Goldar and Scorpina at the end of her previous Rangers days she had grown to the same size. She then thought about how far she and the other veteran rangers had come since the day Zordon had given her, Jason, Billy, Trini, Kim and Zack their power coins. The adventure had been long and difficult but she like her Twin brother and friends had come through and became much better people than they could have otherwise. She continued to think about her twin brother and realized that she hadn't told Jason about the attack on Carter. He was going to kill her. Sighing she rolled out of bed and trudged to her computer turning it on she decided to email him. Looking at the clock she noted the time. If she called her brother in the Hour of the Wolf he would defiantly kill her unlike her, he actually slept. Her instant messenger logged on automatically she noted that Katherine was online which was nice because Chris had barely been able to talk to her friend while she was in Australia visiting family. Double clicking the name she started a conversation with her friend.

PurpleRyuRei704: Hey Kitty ever heard of the Hour of the Wolf?

PCrane8000: you told me once the time between 3am and 4am isn't it?

PurpleRyuRei704: Yeah

PCrane8000: Let me guess you're awake in the Hour of the Wolf again are you

PurpleRyuRei704: Well yeah…

The conversation continued for another hour when Kat had to go to get dinner with family.
