Epilogue
"Zordon we don't have much time left," Alpha said. His robotic voice was tinged with worry as he paced around the Command Center. "The power rangers need to gain complete control of their new powers soon or else we won't have a chance of saving Edenoi or Eltar." He made what sounded like a sniffing sound. "Who knows how long it'll take for Rita and Zedd to find the—"
"I know, Alpha, but there are many factors that are standing in our way," Zordon insisted. Alpha brought his hands up to his head as he continued to pace. "Don't despair, the power rangers are doing their best and at this point we have nothing to give them but our time and patience. With the power of the Ankylosaurus we, hopefully, will be able to hold them off for a while. Their use of the horoscope monsters has done a good job of keeping them busy."
Alpha shook his head. "I should have known there was something they were up to apart from their constant struggle against the rangers."
"It's not something we could have really seen coming," Zordon reassured him. "Rita and I have been in war for over 2,000 years and she has many tricks up her sleeve. There was only a matter of time until she or Zedd came up with something we couldn't have anticipated, no matter how prepared we were." He briefly closed his eyes. "We may have to reinforce the shields of the Command Center along with the zords as well as come up with something that will finally negate the stegosaurus zord back to its original state. The lack of the zord to help the rangers is going to become more evident as time goes on."
Alpha didn't say anything in reply. He continued to pace. He believed everything Zordon was telling him, the rangers could ultimately defeat Rita and Zedd. Yes, they were the first earth based set of rangers but they had done nothing but live up to his and Zordon's expectations whenever the time came. They did their best to protect those around them as well as their families and took on a burden of responsibility no teenager ever had to do. Hey gave up most of their personal and private lives to be at Zordon's and Alpha's beck and call and there was hardly a complaint from them. And while he and Zordon, admittedly still had some worries about Avalon being on the team, she was changing their minds as the days went on.
Still, it seemed that, with what Rita and Zedd were planning—all of the signs being there—they were going to be stuck in the fight of their lives.
And this time, instead of it being only for Earth, Zordon's and Alpha's home planets were hanging in the balance as well.
THE END
A/N: I know I originally planned this story to end at 40 chapters, but I realized the last chapter was a good place to end it. Also, I had re-worked some of the plot points I had planned in the sequel so that helps too. For those wondering, the next story is set in seasons 2 and 3 with some things being a bit changed though it would be similar canonically, and not put people off so much.
Thanks for everyone that favorite, reviewed, and alerted this story. Starting it again from what I had before was a big project and I'm glad you all stuck around with me to tell my story of Avalon and Bailey and how they got their start with the rangers, especially those that have stuck around since my first version of it to this version. It really means a lot and thank you for those that continue on with me to Made of Glass and my future works.
As I've said before with this the first chapter to the sequel Made of Glass is now up. So I'll see you guys over there.
