A full month have passed since Chloe is kidnapped by Sayla, and yet being rescued by the spirit of her own long deceased grandfather, Jack Williams, and it was also a full months since Sayla was banished forever from Angalifu's troop, thus leaving her to search and find a way to live on her own until she'll met new allies who will help her to get her revenge on Chloe, and it was also 34 months (2 years and 10 months) since Chloe first arrived in Equestria, and she and Aylene were doing just fine together, as it was almost 2 years since the two became sisters.

One day, Chloe and Aylene went outside to play with the CMC, Sandbar and Ocellus in the meadow, but upon arriving there, they all met Shujaa, who is now back to show them a new attraction - a herd of Quaggas. When Chloe saw the herd of Quaggas in front of her eyes, she said "I thought these zebras were extinct!", and Shujaa said "Yes, they are - back on planet earth, but they're still alive and exist here, in Equestria!", and then Randall asked him "Shujaa, what are these weird-looking zebras supposed to be?", and Shujaa expained "These are Quaggas. Back in where Chloe lived on planet earth, these zebras are extinct since the year 1883, but I was able to find these living herd of Quaggas here, in Equestria!", and when Ocellus came close and then she stroked one of the Quaggas, an adult mare, on the side of the body, the Quagga mare started to like her a bit, because she never saw a changeling like Ocellus before.

Then, Ocellus turned back to Shujaa and then she said "This Quagga is so beautiful, and he also looks pretty nice!", but then Shujaa corrected her and said "Actually, this Quagga is a mare, in other words - she's a female.", and then Ocellus asked "Really?", and then she turned back to the Quagga mare she stroked and then she said "Oh, she's so beautiful, and she also looks pretty nice!", and then Shujaa said "I'm glad to hear that!".

Then, Shujaa said "Now, let's ride these Quaggas! They'll take us to see yet another group of animals whom are friends of mine, just like Angalifu's troop and Queen Tukta's herd!", and then he climbed up onto the Quagga stallion's back, and then he said to Chloe, Aylene, the CMC, Sandbar and Ocellus "Let's go!", and they all listened and climbed up onto the Quagga mares' backs, and once everyone were on the Quaggas' backs, Shujaa said to everyone "Let's have a ride!", and then he told the Quagga stallion to start to run, and so the Quagga stallion listened and started to run, and the Quagga mares soon followed close behind.

Shujaa and the others had a nice ride on the Quaggas' backs until they finally reached the Everfree Forest once again, and that's when they entered and then they stopped riding the Quaggas, because Shujaa said to everyone that they all finally reached the right place, and that's when the Quaggas stopped dead in their tracks, and then Shujaa and the others climbed down from the Quagga's backs, and then Chloe, Aylene and the others all started to follow Shujaa, who started to lead them into where a herd of kind, gentle and fun-loving Sumatran rhinoceroses are living.

Once Shujaa and the others approached close enough for the Sumatran rhinoceroses to see them, an adult male from the herd, who is actually the leader of the herd approached them and then he said in a tolerant tone "Welcome to our territory!", and then he turned and saw Shujaa and then he said to him "That's nice to see you again, Shujaa! I see you even brought here some visitors with you!", and Shujaa turned back to the others and he said to them "Don't be afraid! He's a friend of mine! We know each other very well!", and then the adult male Sumatran rhinoceros said to the visitors "Anyway, I'm Mekong! I'm the leader of my herd! By the way, it's nice to met you all!", and then Chloe came closer to him and then she said while shaking nervously a bit "W-well, it's nice to meet you too, Mekong!", and once she stopped shaking as she tried to calm herself, Mekong said to her "You don't have to fear me, human girl! I'm not a threatening beast who likes to harm everything that moves! I'm very nice, and I'm also gentle and kind, and the rest of my herd were all the same as I am!".

Then Chloe introduced herself and said "Anyway, I'm Chloe, and as you can see, I'm a human!", and then Mekong said to her "Oh, I already know that! I've already seen humans before! But what I didn't saw before you came is a GOOD human!", and Chloe asked "A good human?", and then Mekong explained "almost all the humans who arrived in Equestria were cruel and heartless, but you are way different than all of them! You look and behave very peacefully and very kindly towards other creatures!", but then Chloe corrected him and said "Except towards those who try to harm me or any of my friends!", and Mekong said "II'm should've known better that you hate animals which are known as cruel and as heartless as all of those humans who arrived here long before you came!", and Chloe said "Well, yes! You're right! I hate Lysander and Sayla for their heartlessness towards me and towards all of my friends!", and then Mekong said to her "Anyway, now that I know a lot about you and your personality, you and your friends can go and play with our young ones! They truly like fun, and they also like to play with other creatures they meet and befriend!", and Chloe said "Of course I'll give it a try! We already did the same with Queen Tukta's elephants, and it worked very well!", and then Mekong said to her "Then go and play with out young ones! You can start have fun with them right now!", and Chloe said to him "Thank you, Mekong!", and then she and her friends went to play with the young Sumatran rhinos (calves) in the herd.

Then, Chloe, Aylene, the CMC, Sandbar, Ocellus and the young rhinos decided to play tag together, and so they wandered a bit far away from the herd to play tag with each other. Then, they all started to play tag all together, but during playing tag, one of the young rhinos, a male named Albert, suddenly got lost and he accidentally started to wander too far away from the others, until he meets Smolder the dragon, who is a member of the young six, who is also a friend of Sandbar and Ocellus, and he soon befriended her (due to being tolerent and friendly to other creatures).

However, after Smolder and Albret befriended each other, a float of familiar evil crocodiles suddenly approached them, and their leader (Lysander) went forward towards the teenage dragon and the young Sumatran rhinoceros, and then Lysander said "Well, well, well. What do we have here.", and then he gave Smolder and Albert an evil smirk as he and his float began to surround them, thus scaring Albert, who started to shake in fear as the evil crocodiles loked at him and at Smolder in the eyes, and Smolder clearly understood that he's scared and frightened by the intimidating looks of the crocodiles, so she decided to protect him by turning to Lysander and placing herself between him and Albert, before she asked him "Who are you? What do you want from us?", and Lysander gave out a lowly chuckle before he said "Could it be possible that you stupid teenage girl dragon don't even know who I am?", and Smolder asked in an offended tone "Excuse me?!", and then Lysander said as he introduced himself "I'm Lysander the evil shape-shifting crocodile, and I'm also the leader of my float!", and then he said as he pointed a claw at Albert "And I see you brought some food for us, didn't you?", and when she realized he's pointing at Albert, she turned back to the young Sumatran rhinoceros who still shook himself in fear and terror as the crocodiles referred him as a meal, and when she turned back to Lysander, she said to him with determination in her eyes "No! I won't give him to you! he's only a young rhinoceros! Take me instead!".

However, the evil shape-shifting crocodile laughed evilly and then he said "I don't think so! You're too scaly for me and for my float to feed on! But this baby rhinoceros is just the right thing to out in our stomachs!", and then he shouted to the rest of his float "ATTACK!", and that's when the four other crocodiles started to attack Smolder and Albert. However, Smilder did her best to fend off the crocodiles, only to be grabbed and thrown away by Lysander, but before he can eat Albert, something large started to pull him back by his tail, and when Lysander felt he's been pulled back by something really big, he turned his head to see one of the two male grizzly bears pullins him by the tail with his mouth and teeth, and that's when Lysander started to fight against the huge male grizzly bear by turning himself into a grizzly bear so he can fight him in an equal fight of a grizzly bear vs another grizzly bear, while the other crocodiles watched the whole fight between their leader in his bear form against one of the two male grizzly bears, and that's when Smolder and Albert made their move and managed to sneak away while the crocodiles were completely distracted by the fight between their leader and the huge male grizzly bear.

However, after a long fight, Lysander finally managed to defeat and kill the male grizzly bear who fought him, but in the process, the male grizzly bear landed on one of Lysander's crocodiles and smashed him to death under his weight, thus killing him in the process. However, the other crocodiles started to feed and feast on the huge male grizzly bear their leader just killed, but Lysander decided to chase after Smolder and Albert all by himself, and he managed to follow their tracks until he found them on the edge of a cliff, thus trapping them.

Then, Lysander said to Smolder "Now be a good girl dragon and give me the baby rhinoceros! If you do as I say, I'll allow to join my float!", but Smolder angrily said with determination in her eyes "Forget it, Lysander! I won't listen to you, and I won't choose to become one of your float! I don't want to be evil like you, you monster!", but Lysander just said "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. That's too bad for you, girl dragon! Sorry to say but I'm going to kill you for defying me!", and then he turned himself into a grizzly bear once again and then he shouted in anger "DIE, GIRL DRAGON!", and then he swiped at her with a bear paw, and he managed to strike at her back and wings because Smolder turned back to him, before he grabbed her with his another bear paw and then he said "Goodbye.", and then he threw her off the edge of the cliff, and she's unable to fly due to Lysander have already managed to injure her wings, thus causing her to fall down, but she luckily managed to land in the water below, before Lysander threw Albert off the edge of the cliff as well, but he luckily managed to land in the water next to Smolder, before the two managed to swim back to shore, much to Lysander's disappointment.

Back in the Everfree Forest, Albert's mother asked in concern as she was extremely worried "Where's Albert? Where is he? Where is my little son?", but then Mekong said to her "Calm down, it's okay. I'm sure he's still playing around here somewhere.", but then Shujaa said "I'll go and search for him so I can bring him bacm to you. Is that fine?", and Albert's mother said to the albino orangutan "Yes. Thank you, Shujaa.", and then he said to Chloe, Aylene, the CMC, Sandbar and Ocellus "Let's go and search for Albert to make sure he's okay!", and they all listened and called for him "Okay! We're coming with you, Shujaa!", and so they all started to go and search for Albert to make sure he's okay so they can take and bring him back to his herd.

Meanwhile, back at the Everfree Forest, but at a different point, Smolder and Albert are now sitting down near a campfire which Smolder made by spitting her fire at a pile of firewood she managed to gather around to set up fire for the night, and Albert became so impressed by her ability to control and use fire when necessary, but then the two suddenly heard something moving inside a bunch of tall and large bushes which stood right behind their backs, and that's when Albert stepped aback while Smolder readied herself to attack what's coming towards them, and then suddenly, the second male grizzly bear jumped out of the bushes and then he started to attack Smolder, which was still unable to fly due to her injured wings, so she had no choise but to use her arms and legs to punch and kick at the male grizzly bear to keep him away from Albert, but because he's to big and strong for her, the male grizzly bear managed to swipe and Smolder and knock and throw her out of the way, before he came towards Albert, who cowered in fear, because the young male Sumatran rhinoceros has no chance against a huge male grizzly bear that can easily outfight a dragon, but before the male grizzly bear can finish him off, a male voice suddenly shouted at him "Leave the baby rhinoceros alone!", and when the male grizzly bear turned his head to see who's shouting directly him, he saw Shujaa and the others running towards him, and so he decided to get away from them while he can, but before he can start to run away, Smolder managed to come in front of the male grizzly bear, before she jumped up and then she managed to spit fire directly at the bear's face, causing him to slap himself across the face repeatedly to turn the fire off, and this is when Shujaa jumped on the male grizzly bear and then he started to attack him, and after a long fight, Shujaa kills the second male grizzly bear by breaking his jaw, causing him to accidentally fall on Smolder, who is unable to get out the way in time, and that's when Shujaa and the others worked together to move the male grizzly bear's dead body off Smolder, thus saving her life.

When Smolder noticed Shujaa after she's been rescued, she asked Chloe why did he just saved her life, and Chloe answered "Shujaa is no longer the evil albino orangutan he used to be for all these years!", and then Scootaloo added "That's right! He have changed! He saved my life from getting eaten by one of Lysander's crocodiles before!", and Smolder said to her back "What a coincidence.", and when everyone heard what she just said, Ocellus asked her "What do you mean by that, Smolder?", and Smolder turned back to show her scratched and injured wings to her friends, causing them and Shujaa to gasp in shock and horror to see that she got her wings injured, which explains why she cannot fly.

Then, Sweetie Belle asked her "Who did this to you?", and Smolder explained "Lysander have attacked me and Albert the baby rhinoceros before, and when he tried to swipe at him and get him as his meal, I came in the way and turned back to him, and then Lysander managed to strike directly at my wings, so now I cannot fly!", and then she quickly added "He managed to do this to me when he was in his grizzly bear form!", and then Aylene said "How awful! What a monster Lysander is for what he have done to you!", and then Randall added "When we get back to Ponyville, I'm sure Twilight, Starlight or Rarity will use their magic to heal your injured wings.", and then Shujaa said to them all "But first, we'll take Albert back to his herd, okay?", and Smolder said to him "Okay, Shujaa!", and that's when she joined the others as they took Albert all the way back to his herd and they managed to bring him back alive and well, and upon meeting Smolder, the Sumatran rhinoceroses accepted her as a friend of theirs too after they all heard from her that she did her best to keep Albert away from danger while he's lost, and even dared to confront Lysander and fight him and his crocodiles to protect Albert from harm, and with Albert being already reunited with the rest of the herd, Mekong and Albert's mother announced Smolder as a friend of theirs and of their entire herd, and despite Smolder felt embarrassed, she did liked to see and know that the Sumatran rhinoceroses like her so much for risking her life to save one of their own from harm and dangers, before she and the others said goodbye to Mekong and to his herd and then they all went together back to where they left the Quaggas, which luckily still stayed at the same place and didn't wandered away.

When Smolder saw the Quaggas for the first time, she asked "What are these kind of weird zebras supposed to be?", and Ocellus answered and explained "These are Quaggas. They're an extinct species of a zebra which died out a long time ago back in where Chloe's kind lives.", and then Shujaa added "I'm sure you'll need to ride a Quagga if you want to get out of the Everfree Forest. After all, Lysander have managed to injure your wings so you cannot fly, so I guess you should at least try to ride a Quagga until we're back in the meadow where we started.", and Smolder sighed and said "Fine. I'll ride a Quagga. I cannot leave the Everfree Forest this easily with my injured wings. I'm coming with you all.", and then Shujaa said "Now all you need to do is to choose a Quagga to ride on, and I promise you we'll be back in the meadow in almost no time.", and when Smolder chose and climbed up onto the back of one of the Quagga mares, after all the others have already climbed on their Quaggas, and after Shujaa have already climbed up onto the Quagga stallion's back, this is when he called "Let's go!" and so the Quaggas obeyed and they all started to run as fast as they can with everyone holding tightly onto their backs and manes, and after riding on the Quagga's backs for a while, everyone finally arrived back at the meadow where they (minus Smolder) all started their fun day.

Then, Shujaa told the Quaggas to go, and so they obeyed him and they all started to run away into the horizon until they can no longer be seen, and then he turned back to everyone else, now including Smolder, and then he said to them all "Goodbye, everyone.", but before he turned to go, Shujaa gave his hand to Smolder, and she with a single tear in her eyes acceped his offering for friendship, and so she gave her own hand to him so they can shake each other's hands, and once they stopped shaking hands with each other, Shujaa said goodbye to Smolder, before he finally turned to go and then he started to run back to the Everfree Forest, and then everyone called out for him and said goodbye to him as they all waved their hands and hooves for him, before he disappeared into the Everfree Forest.

Then, Chloe, Aylene, the CMC, Sandbar, Ocellus and Smolder all went back to their homes in Ponyville and Canterlot, and once they all arrived back at their homes, the sun was already in the middle of setting down, proving that they all managed to get back to their homes just in time, and as for Chloe and Aylene, they went to eat some dinner once Luna raised the moon to show that it's nighttime in Equestria, and once they finished eating their dinner, Chloe and Aylene finally went back to their bedroom and they both fell asleep.
