It is near Hero's 150th birthday, and Master Kai sees that this student has grown powerful in his use of the Power Stones that were embedded in him, and has mastered every known fighting skill that he could teach him.

"It is time for you to return home, my young Smurf," Master Kai said. "There is nothing more than I can teach you now that you are in full control of your Kai abilities."

"Home," Hero said as he looked into the reflecting pool and could see the Smurf Village through it. "It's been years since I last smurfed foot in that place."

"I sense a bit of reluctance in your desire to return home," Master Kai commented.

Hero sighed. "It's not that I don't want to return home, Master Kai. I do miss the fun that I had with my fellow Smurfs, and everything about my life before I had to deal with smurfing these powers. It's that I don't know if my fellow Smurfs will ever forgive me when I wasn't able to control my powers."

"What you did back then was not your fault, Hero," Master Kai said. "If this Papa Smurf still cares about you, he would want to see you return home just as much as some of your friends would."

"Well, if I'm going to show my fellow Smurfs that I'm in control of my powers, it's either now or never," Hero said. "Master Kai, I would very much want to have the portal between our worlds open."

"As you wish, my young student," Master Kai said with a bowing of the head. "As long as you remember all your lessons, you should pose no danger to anyone anymore."

And with that, Master Kai caused a portal to open, through which Hero could see the Smurf Forest. "Goodbye, Master Kai, and thanks for all your lessons," Hero said. "I will miss smurfing in this place with you."

"Go now, before the portal closes," Master Kai said. And so Hero flew through the portal linking the two worlds temporarily before it closed.
