Matt waited patiently as the others stretched their limbs helping them wake up. Basil and the others are doing their part. So I have to do mine and keep the others safe. He looked at the ring on his finger. It glimmered in the sunlight.

"So who has a plan on to get us back home or at least back to the time hallow?" Katherine asked looking around.

"Every time we land so place new we're always near the problem. So I say we go look around to see if we can't spot anything out of place." Matt suggested walking over to them. He ended up standing between Dad and Katherine.

"Speaking of things out of place has anyone noticed that we haven't spotted any tracers?" Johan said with realization in his voice. He kicked the sand, "Look no tracers."

"Time must be severely messed up." Dad sighed.

"Or something is keeping us from seeing them." He spoke. Everyone looked grim. Matt felt bad for bringing that up but they needed to know all the options. When he shifted his weight to the other foot he lost his balance and fell in Dad's direction. Dad caught him by the shoulder and as he helped back to a position he could balance in, he swiped the Elucidator from his pocket. Matt quickly hid it at the back of his belt so he wouldn't have a noticeable bulge in his pocket and his shirt could cover it.

"It looks like you're still a bit weak from the fight yesterday." Dad said. It wasn't just that fight it was everything else too!

"I guess that makes sense though. The flames use your own energy to burn and I used a lot in that brawl." Matt agreed rubbing the back of his head. "Anyway I'm going to have a quick look around to see if I can't spot anything obvious out of the ordinary." He backed up and headed for the woods.

"Don't go too far!" Dad called after him. Matt waved a hand in the air acknowledging what he just said. Once he was out of sight and ear shot from the others he pulled the Elucidator back out. He could hear a flame spark to life on his ring. It was a small flame, about half an inch big. Matt tried to put it out but he couldn't. Aug! Forget it!

"Alright. Let's see what you know." He whispered to himself. "Show recent actions." He told it. The screen began showing a long list of commands. It self-scrolled down what seemed like an endless list. It showed him everything from showing displays to answering a thousand questions.

"Show me only relevant information." Matt corrected. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? I mean what you think it means! He scowled in his head.

"I mean show me only information that will help us get back to the time hallow." He sighed. It showed him the original list again.

"What are you doing? I told you I don't want this list. I want one that will show connects to what's happening." Matt told it harshly. THAT COULD BE ANYTHING AT THIS POINT. Matt threw his arm down in frustration. Now he knew how Dad felt.

"Matt! Matt! Where are you?" He heard Katherine calling out to him.

"Over here!" He called back sliding the Elucidator back in his belt. Katherine came jogging into view. "What's happening?"

"Gary and Hodge are attacking!" She told him with her eyes wide. Matt could feel his eyes go just as big. He took off to a dead run heading for the camp with Katherine on his tail. Trees past by in a blur and before he knew it most of his traction was lost to the sand. He could see it. Dad was confronting Gary and Hodge. Johan and Chip tried to help but were knocked down like poorly built twig structures. Gary slipped behind Dad and grabbed his arm twisting it behind his back the kicked him flat on his face his arm still bent. Hodge bent down to eye level with Dad and his mouth moving but he could pick up what he was saying. Matt pulled out both guns and pulled the triggers. He rocketed towards them so fast his feet were no longer on the ground. When he was close enough he swung his legs up to the front with one foot ready to smash into Gary. Gary and Hodge looked up in time to see him slam into Gary. He hit him so hard that Gary instantly let Dad go and went flying a couple feet before he released the triggers. Matt landed on his feet as Gary crash landed on the sandy beach. Suddenly he felt tired and drained. Like he just played an entire inning in the outfield by himself. He looked to see that the flame on his ring was still burning. Again he tried to put it but still couldn't. What's going on? Why can't I put it out?

"Are you alright?" Hodge called out. Gary sat up rubbing the spot on his chest where his foot smashed into him.

"Ow! I thought the problem kid was taken care of! Why didn't anyone warn me about him?!" Gary said frustrated and in pain.

"Look the kid is tried. It must've taken most of what he had. So just deck him and get over and help." Hodge said fending off Johan and Chip as Katherine helped Dad.

"No problem!" Gary said getting up and rolling up a sleeve. Matt lined up another shot but Gary was faster than he anticipated or he slowed down. Either way his shot was sent into the forest when Gary pushed his arm to the side. Sun flames rushed up the trees and took over bushed. This was the strangest forest fire ever seen. Everything else still looked the same but Sun flames covered almost everything. Almost like the flames were an illusion. There was splintering and cracking just like a normal forest fire.

"What the?" Everyone was watching the Sun flame forest fire.

"Forget this! Let's get out of here!" Gary said jogging back to Hodge. Hodge was nodding when they disappeared.

"What do we do?!" Katherine shrieked. Matt looked down at his ringed hand to see that flame was still burning. It's a long shot but I don't have another choice. He pulled out Pegasus' box and slammed the ring into the opening. Pegasus came out in a rush of sparkling yellow. It was floating in the air watching the fire. Now he was on the brink of collapsing from exhaustion.

"Pegasus put out this fire!" Matt shouted up. Pegasus reeled back onto its hind legs and wings began glow brightly as the forest fire flames rushed up and joined with the wings. Quickly there was nothing left of the fire except for the smoke and charred spots. Seeing its work was done Pegasus rushed back into the box and Matt feel straight down not able to stay awake another moment longer.
