Another month have passed since Chloe and Aylene met Stephan once again, but also a month since they first met his twin baby siblings, and it was now 46 months (3 years and 10 months) since Chloe first arrived in Equestria, and it was 34 months (2 years and 10 months) since Aylene became her sister, and now they also have Stephan the young and kind centaur as their new best friend, after the latter had saved their lives twice on that same day, two months ago - first from Yigal, Gilad, Ezra and Black Heart, and then from Akeno the male okapi from Asha's family who dared to attack, insult and harass them both for not being okapis like him.

Now, Chloe and Aylene want to go to the Everfree Forest to met their friend, Stephan, and his twin baby siblings, Andy and Zoey, once again, but this time, they decided nit to go there alone, because this time, they want to take with them their good old big brother, Shujaa the male albino orangutan, who was once belong to Gilad, yet now is permanently replaced by a pure black female giraffe named Claire, who is now Gilad's current animal, aside from Kenai, who is his brown panda, and when the two went to find Shujaa and then found him, they asked the albino orangutan to accompany them and come with them to the Everfree Forest because they want him to come along and meet their new best friend, Stephan the young and kind centaur, and when Shujaa heard that Stephan is a centaur, Shujaa said "Of course I'll accompany you two to the Everfree Forest! I always wanted to see a centaur, especially when it comes out to be a kind centaur! And if you said that he's your best friend, then I'd like to meet him too and get to know him and see what's the best he can do! Take me along and let's go!", and then the three went out of the royal castle and then they went to the Everfree Forest together to meet Stephan and his twin baby siblings.

Once the three arrived at the Everfree Forest, they're about to enter and go forward, but then they heard someone calling for them, and when Chloe, Aylene and Shujaa turned around to see who's calling them, they saw the CMC standing a distance behind them, before Sweetie Belle asked them "Where are you three going?", and Aylene answered "To meet a new best friend of ours!", and when they heard what Aylene said, the four young foals all jumped and screamed happily in unison "YOU HAVE A NEW FRIEND?! THAT'S AWESOME!", thus shocking Chloe and Aylene and making Shujaa confused as they looked at the four young foals, before Chloe asked them "Why is that supposed to be awesome with that?", and then she added "We're just going to meet him, and by the way, his name is Stephan.", and after she said that, Randall suddenly jumped and came in front of her while looking up at her in the eyes, just like Pinkie Pie sometimes do when she hears about something that is new to her and to her friends from somepony or some other creature, and then he asked the human girl "What is that Stephan looks like? Is he a pony like us? Is he a changeling, a griffon or a dragon? Oh, oh, let me guess, is he a human like you, Chloe?", but Chloe said "No.", thus shocking the CMC, before Apple Bloom asked "Then who is Stephan and what he really is?", and Chloe took a deep breath and then she said "Stephan is a centaur, just like Lord Tirek.".

When the CMC heard what Chloe just said and also heard her mentioning the words 'centaur' and 'Lord Tirek', they all screamed, shrieked, panicked and trotted all around as they all believed that Stephan is an evil centaur just like Lord Tirek, but then Chloe tried to speak up and explain to the CMC that Stephan is actually a good centaur, but the CMC still didn't listened to what she just said as they continued screaming, shrieking, panicking and trotting around, and that's when Shujaa shouted at the top of his lungs at them "STOP SHRIEKING AND PANICKING THIS INSTANT!", and when the CMC all heard he loudly and madly said, they stopped shrieking and panicking before they turned to Chloe and Aylene, and then Shujaa took a deep breath and said calmly "That's better, and now listen to what Chloe has to say.", and then Chloe said "Stephan is indeed a centaur, but he's nothing like Lord Tirek, because he's not using magic for evil or stealing it from others, and he's also handsome, caring, defensive, kind and fun-loving compared to Lord Tirek. They're nothing alike, and Stephan also have twin baby siblings whom are also as good as him, and Stephan doesn't do anything bad to anyone except to those who dare to hurt, abuse, harass and physically attack others for foolish and nonsensical reasons that can sometimes be racism and hateful. Stephan will always come to defend and protect anyone who is endangered and threatened by those whom he knows are bad towards the victims, and will dare to fight the enemies only when he knows it's necessary. And last thing, Stephan uses magic for good purposes such as curing and healing those who got sick, wounded and poisoned.".

"You mean that he can use magical potions for good measures like Zecora?" Apple Bloom asked, and Chloe said "Well, yes, he can." and then she added "I'm sure you'll all like to meet him and his twin baby siblings he have, and they're the best and only proof we got about good centaurs whom are from this world.", and then Aylene added "Come along so we can meet them!", and the CMC decided to come along and follow Chloe, Aylene and Shujaa as they all entered the Everfree Forest and started to search for Stephan and the twins.

Then, after entering the Everfree Forest, Chloe, Aylene, Shujaa and the CMC all searched for Stephan and the twins, but even after searching for them everywhere, they still couldn't find them, until a young male scream was sudeenly heard and it came from a bit far away from the group, and Chloe and Aylene knew who is screaming like this - it's Stephan,and so Chloe said "We must go that way! I know that it's Stephan who is screaming! He's in danger and he might need our help!", and so the group trotted and ran all together in the way and direction where Stephan's scream came from, and at some point, they also started to hear the cries of his twin baby siblings, but they also heard along with them a bunch of sinister laughs which they all knew to who they belong - the sinister laughs were three males and one female, and there are only four villains around who can all laugh sinisterly like this - Yigal, Gilad, Ezra and Black Heart, and so Chloe, Aylene and their friends all knew that they're all up to no good.

When Chloe, Aylene, Shujaa and the CMC all arrived at the right place where the screams, cries and laughs all came from, they all saw an awful sight - they saw Stephan and the twins all tied together to a tall tree, 20 feet above solid ground, and they also saw Gilad approaching the tree with a stick which was set on fire and then he cruelly and heartlessly threw the burning stick at the bottom of the tree, thus setting it on fire as it started to burn, and then Yigal approached the tree as he looked up at the helpless centaurs and then he said to then and especially to Stephan "You should've thought twice before you underestimated the power of humans like us!", and then Black Heart came to his side and then she said to the helpless centaurs "Enjoy meeting your doom, kids!", and then she and Yigal burst together into an evil laughter as they turned around and started to walk away from the burning tree, and then Ezra said to them and to Gilad "Let's go!", and so the three adult human males and their evil Pegasus pony friend all simply just walked away and left the area, thus leaving the helpless centaurs to burn to death as the flames started to get bigger and increase their size and go closer to Stephan who started to scream and cry for help, while Andy and Zoey started to cry out loud in terror as they felt the flames getting closer and closer to them.

Then, Sweetie Belle cried to Chloe and Aylene "We gotta save them!", and Chloe said "We both know just what we need to do!", and then Aylene turned to Shujaa and said to him "Shujaa, when the fire reaches, burns and tears apart the ropes from each centaur, try to catch the, before they fall into the fire, okay?", and Shujaa nodded and said "I'm on it, girls!" and then he started to run towards the burning tree, and at the same time, the flames touched the ropes which are tying Zoey to the tree, and then they started to burn and tear the ropes apart, and once all the ropes were burned and torn apart by the flames, Zoey was finally set free but then she started to fall down towards the big fire below, causing Stephan to cry out "Zoey, no!" as he saw his little sister about to burn and die, but before anything bad can happen to her, Shujaa managed to get close enough and then he jumped up and caught Zoey just a few seconds before she could've died, and then he landed back on solid ground and took her back to the rest of the group, thus leaving Stephan and his little baby brother, Andy, to be the only ones left to rescue from the flames.

Then, Shujaa saw that the flames started to touch, burn and tear apart the ropes which were tying Andy to the tree, and then he started to run back towards the tree as he saw that the ropes were about to tear apart and set Andy free, and once the ropes were burned and torn apart by the flames, Andy was finally set free but he started to fall down towards the big fire below, causing Stephan to cry out "Andy, no!" as he saw his little brother about to burn and die, but before anything bad can happen to him, Shujaa managed to get close enough, jump up and and catch Andy just a few seconds before he could've died, and then he landed back on solid ground and tok him back to the rest of the group, thus leaving only Stephan to rescue from the flames.

Then, Shujaa ran back towards the tree so he can catch Stephan before he'll get burned alive, and this is when the flames touched, burned and torn apart the ropes which are tying Stephan to the tree, and this is when he broke loose from the ropes and got set free, but before he's about to fall to his death, Shujaa managed to get close enough and then he jumped up and caught Stephan just in time before he can be burned alive, and when he landed on solid ground, Shujaa placed Stephan down and then the two ran and trotted back to the rest of the group alive and well like if nothing have happened.

With the centaurs are now rescued, Shujaa said "This is not over yet! We gotta get out of here before the fire spreads!", and then Stephan said "You're right! If the other trees will start to catch fire and burn, we'll become trapped and burned alive all together!", and so everyone started to run away for their lives before the fire could spread and trap them in a circle from which they can never escape alive. After escaping and leaving the area, everyone managed to get somewhere far and safe from the fire, and this is when Stephan introduced himself and his twin baby siblings to Shujaa and to the CMC, and he also explained to them about his extremely friendly but also defensive nature and also about how he can cure and heal the sick, the ill, the weak, and the poor and defenseless creatures whom he meets and befriends, and he even explained that he'll even interfere and defend and protect those who got their honor and respect crashed and hurt from other creatures whom are very mean, cruel and heartless (like Akeno the male okapi for an instance), thus shocking the albino orangutan and the four young foals who all looked at him with both shock and amazement because of everything he told them all about himself.

However, just then, everyone suddenly heard two evil voices that were one male and one female laughing behind them, and when they all turned to the direction where the voices came from, they saw Lysander, Sayla and their 8 jackals approaching towards them, and this is when Shujaa approached and put himself between his friends and the villains, and then he asked the ferocious crocodile and gorilla "What do you two want?", and then Sayla said evilly "Just coming to say hello to you. That's exactly what do we want.", and then she chuckled evilly as she and Lysander eyed both Chloe and Aylene in the eyes, but then Stephan came in the way and out himself in front of his friends to protect and defend them from the villains, and then he asked "Who are you two?", and then Lysander said "I'm Lysander, the infamous, shape-shifting crocodile!", and then Sayla added "And I'm his partner and friend, Sayla, the vicious and ferocious, shape-shifting gorilla!", and then they both laughed evilly.

When everyone heard what Sayla said about herself that she became a shape-shifter like Lysander, they all gasped in shock, while Stephan looked at her and at Lysander with nervousness in his eyes as his twin baby siblings hugged tightly at both of hind horse legs, and then Shujaa asked in shock "Did you just said that you can also use magic to transform and take the shape of every living creature with your will power just like your friend?!", and Sayla said "Watch this!", and then her forehead started to glow in a red magic aura, and then she used her new magic to transform herself into Princess Celestia, and then she started to talk and she said "Now do you all believe me? Thanks to Lysander's teaching me how to use magic to transform myself to anything I look at or think of, I can finally use my new magic to help him by his side as now the both of us can use our will power to transform ourselves to whatever or whoever we want to!", and the Lysander came to her side and used his own magic to transform into Thorax, and then he spoke up and said "Now with the both of us able to use magic to shape-shift and transform into everything we want to, we'll finally take you all down!", and then he and Sayla laughed evilly together.

However, Shujaa said "I don't even care that now the both of can use magic to transform to everything you want to! We will do our best we can to take you and your evil jackals down and put an end to your evil reign once and for all!", and when Stephan heard what Shujaa said, the young male centaur came forward and then he stopped by Shujaa's side, turned with his head to him and then he said "If you say so, then count me in!", and then Shujaa said to him back "Now that's the spirit!", but when Lysander and Sayla saw him next to Shujaa's side, Lysander asked him "Are you a centaur or something?", and Stephan said "Well, yes, I am!", but then Sayla said "Whi even cares you're a centaur?! You're supposed to be evil like Lord Tirek and make him proud that he has an avenger soldier who is trying to succeed in where he failed! Centaurs cannot be good and kind! This is entirely impossible to believe a centaur like you can be good!", but then Stephan said back "Well, I'm not evil, and I don't even want to be evil like that Lord Tirek you just spoke of! I'm friendly, kind and good, but I will also attack dangerous enemies whom are trying to pick on the young, the old, the injured and the innocent! I will never be a monster like Lord Tirek and I won't join your evil side either!".

However, Lysander said "Why do even need you?! centaurs like you are useless to us for many reasons! The only thing we can use you and your kind is by just destroying you and eating your meat, and that's all!", and then he said to the jackals "Now, jackals, attack them!", and the 8 jackals all started to run towards Shujaa and Stephan, but the two knew exactly what they must do to get rid of the jackals, and so when they got close enough, three of the jackals jumped up and they're about to swipe and strike at Shujaa and Stephan, but then the albino orangutan grabbed two of jackals while the young centaur grabbed the third one, and then they started to beat them up by punching them, swinging them around, kicking them hard, and eventually tossing them all onto what appeared to be a large purple rock, but then it turned out to be a Maulwurf, which started to attack and destroy the three jackals who landed on its back, and once the three jackals were destroyed by the Maulwurf, Lysander, Sayla and their five remaining jackals all turned and ran away together, but not before the two infamous animals transformed back to their true forms, and once the villains were all gone from sight, the Maulwurf turned to Chloe, Aylene, Stephan, Shujaa and their group and it started to approach them, and once it got close enough, it raised its left arm and paw and it was about to move it down fast and swipe directly at Andy and Zoey, who looked up at the Maulwurf before they started wailing in fear and terror as they both looked at the Maulwurf up and directly in the eyes.

However, before the Maulwurf can strike at the twin baby centaurs, Stephan jumped up and struck the Maulwurf on the chest with a tough kick with his right horse foreleg, causing it to fall and land on its back, and then Stephan climbed on the Maulwurf and he started to beat it and he cried "You leave my twin baby sinlings alone, you monster!", and then he's joined by Shujaa who started to help him beating the Maulwurf, but then the Maulwurf snarled and cried in pain as it shook and threw both Stephan and Shujaa off itself and then it started to dig and go underground and leave the group alone, and once the Maulwurf was gone, Stephan turned to Shujaa and then he said to him "Thank you for helping me to save my twin baby siblings!", and Shujaa said back "That's no problem if we're working together!", and then Stephan told Andy and Zoey to come with him, and they listened and followed him and Shujaa back to the rest of the group.

Then, Randall asked in shock "What was that?!", and then Scootaloo added in the same way "That was unbelievable!", and then Sweetie Belle added "You just risked your own life to save your twin baby siblings!", and then Apple Bloom said "You did the same thing my big sister, Applejack, would always do for me!", and then Stephan said back "You're all right! I was trying to fight that Maulwurf to save my twin baby siblings from getting killed for sure, and that's exactly what big brothers and big sisters always do for their little siblings when they see them in serious danger!", and then Shujaa said "Let's go and have some fun for the time being, and then we'll say goodbye to Stephan and to his twin baby siblings so we can take you back to your homes!", and everyone listened and agreed with what he said because now they have only some time left for them before they'll have to part ways with Stephan and the twins and go back home.

After having some fun for the some time left for them, the group knew it's time to say goodbye to Stephan and to his twin baby siblings, and when each of Chloe and Aylene's friends, including Chloe and Aylene themselves (and Shujaa) said goodbye to Stephan and to his twin baby siblings, Stephan also said goodbye to them and he also said that he promise them all that he'll meet them all again another time with Andy and Zoey, and when the centaurs parted ways with Chloe, Aylene, Shujaa and the CMC, they all left the Everfree Forest and went back to Ponyville, where the CMC said goodbye and parted ways with Chloe, Aylene and Shujaa who all continued on their way back to Canterlot and after they arrived back in Canterlot, the three went back to the royal castle, and upon arriving there at last, the three went and entered inside, and the royal guards who worked with Shujaa side by side and befriended him welcomed the albino orangutan for returning back to the royal castle, while Chloe and Aylene were both welcomed by Celestia and Luna, and when nighttime came, Chloe and Aylene ate some dinner before they went to their bedroom and fell asleep.

However, a new enemy is now plotting and willing to perform and do a kidnapping plan, and he had his eyes on Chloe and Aylene before - it was Akeno, but he didn't came all the way alone, because with him there are four baboons who will help him to kidnap Chloe and Aylene and dump them both in a dark cave, similar to how Sayla already did it, but only with Chloe, but Akeno is willing to kidnap and dump both Chloe and Aylene in a dark cave in the Everfree Forest to make sure the both of them will face a terrible fate together, as he believed that they both can spell grave danger to him and to his dominance, and now, he and his baboons were all standing in Canterlot, just outside the royal castle, waiting for the right moment to sneak into the royal castle and perform and do their kidnapping plan on Chloe Aylene whom he hates so much, and before Akeno and his baboons all started with their kidnapping plan, Akeno said evilly "If nobody will help me to get rid of these hairless white ape girl and her turquoise chicken-winged stripeless zebra friend, then my baboons and I will.", and then he chuckled evilly as he and his baboons were about to start performing and doing their kidnapping plan.
