Vote of Confidence (Power Rangers in Space)

Summary: Ashley eavesdrops on some Angel Grove citizens. (Written November 23, 1998)


Disclaimer: None of the characters belong to me, but instead to Saban. This takes place during "Countdown to Destruction, part 2", part of a series detailing the events and aftermath of the two-parter. The dialogue is taken from the beginning of "Countdown to Destruction" part 2, and was presumably written by Judd Lynn.

This is the first of the "Destruction... and after" series of stories and was written November 23, 1998.

"We gotta do something!"

I listen to the voice at the fire not far from me. I can't see him. There must be a dozen or so Angel Grove citizens there, all scared. All waiting for their heroes.

"Look, we've been talking and talking, over and over. What are we going to do? Where *are* the Power Rangers?"

If only that woman knew that we were nearby. Nearer than she thinks.

"Yeah, if they're here, why don't they come help us?"

We're trying, believe me, we're trying....

"Maybe they've left us!" the woman replies, and many of the others gasp.

"Maybe she's right. Maybe they have left us!"

No, we haven't left you. This is our home, our planet, our obligation. We will die before we give up the planet we're sworn to protect.

"Wait a minute!" Bulk's voice interrupted. "Listen, everyone. The Rangers have always been here for us before. We gotta believe that they'll be here."

Thank you, Bulk. I wish I could be as confident about this.

Ever since Rita Repulsa came, the Rangers have always walked among the people of Angel Grove. We and our predecessors have always heard you, have heard what you said, both good and bad, and always protected you. And we will not stop now. We were overwhelmed, but the forces of evil have not captured us or killed us. We will be here for you tomorrow.

I just hope we survive....
