Chapter Twelve
Two days later, Matt stood with the others in the park as Guardian opened the portal back to Earth. Matt turned and looked at the others. None of them was happy to see him leave.
"Can't you stay a little longer Matt," Leo asked.
"Sorry cuz, but my life's back on Earth right now," Matt replied. "I need to go and straighten things out back their."
"Will we ever see you again?" Karone asked as she held the baby in her arms.
Matt smiled, "You can count it."
After an exchange of hugs and kisses, Matt slung his bag over his shoulder and stepped through the portal. As it closed behind him, the Rangers new that he would indeed return, it was only a matter of time.
As Matt appeared outside the school at which he trained, he reached into his pocket an pulled out the photo he'd had taken the day before. As he looked down at it he smiled. "I'll be back you guys," he said softly. He turned and walked into the school.
His instructor looked up from his desk in surprise. "Matt? Where have you been for the last year?"
Matt grinned weakly and said: "It's a long story sir."
