Kenai continued to follow Sayla until the two finally reached the train station, and then Sayla said "We made it, kid!", and then she added "Now go on the train, I'll be the one who will pay for the ticket for you!", and then Kenai approached the train, but then he waited for Sayla to pay for the ticket he needs to go on the train, and when Sayla gave the five bits to the ticket pony at the train station, the ticket pony then gave her one ticket, and so she then ran to the train to give Kenai the ticket he needs to go on the train, but even though he now have the ticket he needs to get on the train, the train driver pony said to him "I'm sorry, but you can't go on the train, brown panda bear! Now go away and don't return here or else I call the security forces!", and this made Kenai frown and turn and walk away from the train station, because the train driver pony insulted him and turned him away for nonsensical reasons.
However, Sayla grabbed the train driver pony by the neck and then she yelled at him "Let him on the train, you idiotic stallion! He must go on the train to go to Mount Aris!", but then the driver pony tried to speak and then he barely said "But he's-", but then Sayla cut him in mid-sentence and then she added "Now you listen to me, you fool! I'm the one who paid for this kid's ticket, and I say he GOES on the train because I paid for him! Now let him in or else you'll see how tough I am for a female! Do you understand me?!", and the train driver pony eventually nodded in agreement but also in defeat, before Sayla said "Good! Now let him go on the train! Right now!", before she let go of the stalion's neck, and then he slowly recovered before he stretched his head, neck and left foreleg and hoof out of the train and called for Kenai to come back and go on the train, and when Kenai heard what the train driver pony said, he then reluctantly turned around and walked back towards the train, and then Sayla got off the train and said to him "I persuaded the train driver pony to allow you get on the train for you! Now you can go to Mount Aris and find there a new home where you can live, and maybe even make a new family and new friends like you've ever dreamed of!".
When Kenai heard what Sayla said to him, tears of joy started to form and roll down his eyes, before he then pulled the female gorilla into a tight and loving hug, but then Sayla broke the hug away from him and said "Now, now, kid! There's no reason for you to hug me like this! I was just trying to help you get away from that horrible Shining Armor so you can live a much proper life somewhere else, somewhere else that is none other than very far away from him and from his family! Now go on the train! The great honor is all yours! Goodbye, kid! And good luck!", and then Kenai sniffled before he said to her "Thanks, Sayla! I love you! Thank you for helping me!", and then he walked away from her and got on the train, and then the doors of the train closed and then the train started to slowly move and drive away from the train station, thus leaving Sayla behind before she then called for Kenai for a goodbye as she raised an arm and hand up into the air and waved for him for a goodbye, and since Kenai took a seat very close to the window, he could hear her calling for him for a goodbye, and so Kenai responded by getting his head, neck and left foreleg and paw out of one of the train's windows and then he called for her for a goodbye as he too waved for her for a goodbye as well, as the train started to move faster as it already left the train station with Kenai and the other passengers, and its last stop is at Mount Aris.
Then, after Kenai left on the train to Mount Aris, Chloe, Aylene, Stephan and everyone else, including Shining Armor, Cadance and Flurry Heart all arrived at the train station and spotted Sayla about to walk away, but then everyone managed to surround and confront her before Fluttershy asked her with her anger rising in her eyes as she looked at the female gorilla right in the eyes "What are you doing here, Sayla?", and Sayla said with a calm face but still had an evil smile on her face "Well, I was just helping a new ally of mine to find someplace where he can life far away from all of you, and also to get away from that despicable stallion whose name is Shining Armor!", and when he heard what she said, Shining Armor ran towards Sayla and then he turned tail and bucked her in the chest with both of his hind legs and hooves, causing her to scream and yell in pain, before he stood tall against her and said angrily "How dare you talking about me like that, you monster ape!", but then Sayla said "Why shouldn't I? All you want is for the poor kid to be chained up in Tartarus for the rest of his life, don't you?", and then Cadance stepped forward and asked the female gorilla "What are even talking about?", and then she added "Chloe is the only young human here in Equestria! We don't have other young humans besides just her!", but then Sayla said with an evil smile "I was talking about a brown panda bear whom I call kid! He told me that he wants to get away from all of you and stay away from all of you for as long as that Shining Armor here is staying with all of you!".
However, just then, Rainbow Dash flew towards Sayla and then she punched and slapped the female gorilla across the face with a forehoof before she yelled at her "How dare you calling Kenai a kid, you jerk! And also for a lady!", but then Sayla grabbed her by the neck and yelled at her "You punch me in the face one more time, you rainbow-maned Pegasus, and I make sure you'll regret it!", but then Shujaa came from Sayla's left side and then he bit her on the shoulder and caused her to scream and let go of Rainbow Dash, before he then asked the gorilla angrily "Where's Kenai now?!", and Sayla said evilly "He's just going to Mount Aris so he can get away from that Shining Armor, as well as from all of you!", and then she added "I paid for his ticket so he can go on the train that goes there! I'm sure he's gonna be so happy to have new friends with the Hippogriffs, and without all of you to threaten him to be chained up in Tartarus for the rest of his life!".
However, then, Cadance said to Sayla "We won't do this to him! And we'll even make sure we won't be doing to Kenai any harm!", and then Sayla said to her "Fine! I'll leave you all for now, but remember my warnings - one day, I will return with my friends to destroy Chloe, Aylene and their centaur friend, Stephan! And when that happens, there's nothing you'll be able to do to stop us!", and then she laughed evilly and started to run away, but everyone didn't bothered following her and/or capturing her, because what they all need to do right now is to reach to Mount Aris, find Kenai and persuade him to come back home with them, and so Twilight suggested that if they use magic, they can teleport themselves and each other to Mount Aris to catch up with Kenai, and when everypony and every creature agreed with what she suggested, Flurry Heart decided to use her magic as she said "This is for Kenai!", and she's soon being followed by Twilight, Starlight, and then Cadance also lit up her horn, though Shining Armor refused to join and help, but only at first, because when he realized how wrong he was when he threatened Kenai before, he decided to give in and so he lit up his horn as well, and when the five ponies concentrated with their magic all together, they managed to teleport themselves and everyone else with them to Mount Aris.
Meanwhile, Kenai was sitting down while still on the way towards Mount Aris inside the train, but during his time on the train, all the pony passengers who were all on the train saw him sitting down and looking outside through one of the train's windows, before a Unicorn mare asked "What's this brown panda bear's problem?", and then an Earth pony stallion added "Was something troubling him or it's just what I think?", and then a Pegasus stallion said "I think so. I don't see any of his human owners with him at all. He's probably all by himself.", but then Kenai turned to the ponies that were on the train with him and he saw some of them were very close to him and looking at him with shocked and widened eyes, before he then let out an angry bear growl at the ponies who came too close to him, and then he gave them all an angry glare that was also mingled with sadness and pain, before he simply said "Leave me alone.", before he turned to look through the train's window again, much to the ponies' shock to see that despite Kenai did growled at them angrily and gave them all an angry glare as well, he did not really attacked anyone at all, and there was a reason why Kenai didn't attacked any of the ponies that were on the train with him - Kenai is depressed about being threatened to be sent to Tartarus by Shining Armor, and to be chained and imprisoned there in a cage for the rest of his life.
After going on the train for quite a while, Kenai finally arrived at the train's last stop - Mount Aris, the homeland of the Hippogriffs, and once the train finally came to stop at the last train station, Kenai and the pony passengers got out of the train and walked away from the train station in different directions, and when Kenai walked away from the train station and found himself close to Mount Aris, Kenai finally snapped out of his depression as he looked up and then gasped in shock and amazement at the beautiful look of Mount Aris, before he decided to go up there and see who's living there.
Then, Kenai started to walk and climb up to the top of Mount Aris, and once he reached there, he saw a beautiful sight which made his eyes widened in shock when he saw all the Hippogriffs living on the top of Mount Aris, and then Kenai said to himself "I can't believe what I'm seeing! I must be dreaming!", and then he slapped himself across the face with his paw, only to cry in pain as he received a red cheek in return, thus telling him and showing him that what he's seeing in front of his eyes is real, before he started to slowly walk around and explore his surroundings, and also because he almost never have seen Hippogriffs before (except for Silverstream).
However, as Kenai continued to explore Mount Aris, he got some attention from some of the Hippogriffs, who then looked at him in shock when they saw his brown and white fur, which was extremely rare in pandas (since pandas were usually black and white instead), but Kenai didn't seemed to mind until two Hippogriffs approached him and then they started to ask him some questions so he can tell about himself. Then the first Hippogriff, who was an adult male, asked Kenai "Hi, who are you?", and then Kenai answered "I'm Kenai, and as you can see, I'm a panda bear!", but then the other Hippogriff, who was an adult female, asked him "Are you sure?", and then she added "You don't look like a normal panda.", and then Kenai explained "That's because I'm not a normal panda! I'm a brown panda, and this is due to the rare mutation in my fur I was born with which makes me brown and white instead of black and white!", and then the male Hippogriff asked him "Well, Kenai, I must ask you something - where are you from?".
However, when Kenai heard what the male Hippogriff said, he then frowned and looked down at the ground before turning away from the two Hippogriffs. The two Hippogriffs then turned and looked at each other for a moment before the male Hippogriff decided to approach Kenai, and then he gently placed his eagle talons on Kenai's back before he started to stroke, and then he asked him "What's wrong, Kenai?", but then Kenai said "Oh, nothing at all, Sir.", but the male Hippogriff wasn't buying his words before he said back "That doesn't sounds like nothing.", and then he added "Tell me what's wrong, Kenai.", and then he said "I promise I will understand you.", and then Kenai took a deep breath before turning to face the male Hippogriff and then he said to him "Please, promise me you and your wife won't freak out, or run away or fly away when I tell you both about myself and about where I from, okay?", and then the male Hippogriff said "I promise.", though he was still unsure where Kenai was going with this, and even the female Hippogriff sensed something's wrong as she approached both Kenai and her husband, and then Kenai sighed before he simply said "I'm Gilad's panda bear.", and when Kenai said that, both of the Hippogriffs gasped in shock and stepped aback from him, but then Kenai quickly added "I was once his panda bear for many years, but now - not anymore.".
When the two Hippogriffs heard what he said, the female Hippogriff then asked him "Huh? What do you mean?", and then she added "What did you do that made him leave you alone to be all by yourself?", and then Kenai sighed and explained "Gilad banished over such a stupidly random failure.", and then the female Hippogriff asked him "Like what?", and then Kenai explained "He banished me when I failed to hunt down and kill a wild boar, and I almost got myself killed by that beast on the spot, but I was luckily saved when the wild boar is speared in the back by my two little Beartaur children, Tallulah and Kayden.", but then Kenai added as tears formed in his eyes "And after the wild boar hunt was done and was all over, Gilad berated me for almost getting myself killed, and so he banished me from his family and animal team forever.", and then Kenai said as the tears started to roll down his eyes "Now I'm here in your beautiful homeland because I have nowhere else to go to anymore.", and then he finally broke down and started to cry once again.
However, then, the female Hippogriff stroked lightly at the top of Kenai's head with her eagle talons before she said "Hey, no need to cry, Kenai. It's not your fault.", and then the male Hippogriff added "Gilad is the one to blame for your pain, and somepony or some other creature needs to make sure he's paying for dumping you behind like he already did!", but then Kenai cried "It is my fault! And now I'm here because I'm being chased by Shining Armor from far behind! He wants to imprison me in Tartarus forever!", and then the male Hippogriff asked him "Wait, are you saying that the Princess of Friendship's brother is after you because he thinks you're still evil?", and Kenai said "Well, yes." and then he added "I ran away from the royal castle in Canterlot all the way here to get away from him as far as I can.", but then the male voice of Kenai's most worst unimaginable pony said "There you are!", and when Kenai recognized Shining Armor's voice, he then turned away from the two Hippogriffs and saw everyone running towards him with Shining Armor at the very front, and this is when Kenai said "Well, now I see I'm wrong!", before he turned around and started to run away and he said goodbye to the two Hippogriffs as he continued running away at a full speed, but everyone else kept chasing after him and they hoped to catch up with him so they can get him and Shining Armor to ally with one another.
However, Kenai managed to run as fast as he can to escape everyone and eventually managed to lose them, but he kept running fast to make sure it will be extremely difficult for everyone to find him, but once he got far enough to make sure he's completely out of everyone's eyesights, Kenai finally slowed down and ended up reaching the beach where he finally came to a stop and then he lied down and started to relax on the sand and on the beach, but he wasn't alone. Two Hippogriffs, an adult female her little son, were also somewhere nearby, with the little male Hippogriff playing on the beach, while his mother was just sitting and resting down in the sun's heat, but when the young male Hippogriff suddenly turned and noticed Kenai relaxing on the beach nearby, he then ran to his mother and cried "Mommy, look over there! There's a bear lying down on the beach not too far away from us!", and when the Hippogriff mother heard what her son said, she then turned to see and notice Kenai lying down and relaxing nearby, and then the young Hippogriff cried to his mother "Let's go and see that bear from a closer look! This is gonna be so exciting to see a bear that looks like this from a closer look!", and the mother Hippogriff said to her son "Okay, but we need to approach it very slowly so not to accidentally scare it and make it attack us.", and then the two Hippogriffs started to slowly approach Kenai, who is still relaxing nearby and enjoying lying down on the beach, but he didn't noticed the Hippogriff mother and her son slowly approaching him.
However, when the Hippogriff mother and her son got close enough to Kenai, he then started to move and then he stretched each of his four legs in a different direction, before he opened his eyes and slowly got up on his feet, and when he turned to his left and saw the two Hippogriff look at him very close, he let out a gasp before stepping aback from them, but then the young male Hippogriff said "Wow! That bear is huge, and look at its fur colors! Maybe he's from a very rare bear species! Oh, I'm so excited!", but then Kenai asked with a confused look on his face "Why are both looking at me like that?", and then the young male Hippogriff cried "Wow! He can talk too! This means he knows how to talk like we can!", but then Kenai asked "Excuse me for asking, but who are you two?", and then he added "And what are you both doing here so close to me?", and then the Hippogriff mother said "Well, my name is Crystal Feather, and this is my son, Clownbeak.", and then Kenai said "Your son has a funny name, I have to admit.", but then Crystal Feather said to him "Oh, it's okay. Everygriff on Mount Aris says my son's name is funny, and he truly appreciates their comments.", and then Kenai said "Well, I guess it's not surprising, isn't it? Oh, well.".
Then, Crystal Feather asked "Anyway, what's your name? Or should I just call you Mr. Bear?", but then Kenai said "My name is Kenai, and I'm a panda bear who is born with a rare mutation in my fur that caused me to become brown and white instead of a normal black and white panda.", and then Clownbeak said "You look so cool, and you're the very first bear I've ever seen in my life!", and what the young Hippogriff said made Kenai blush as he gave a kind smile at Clownbeak for his nice comment, before he said "Thank you, Clownbeak.", and then he added "If you want to, you can come and play with me. I admit I need someone's company after all. I don't really like to be all alone by myself.", and when the two Hippogriffs heard what he said, Clownbeak then asked his mother if it's okay to play with Kenai, and Crystal Feather said "Of course you can, Clownbeak. If Kenai says he needs some company, then you can go and play with him as much as you want to.", and this made Clownbeak smile at his mother and then he said "Thank you, mommy! I promise we won't wander too far away from you! And if we do, Kenai will try to protect me in case we'll get in some kind of danger, right?", and this made Kenai say "Well, of course, and also because you're not the first youngster I'm looking after. Surely you can come and play with me and keep me company until I'll have to go search for a new home in your beautiful homeland so I can live here with your kind.".
Then, Kenai and Clownbeak started to play together on the beach, while Crystal Feather watched them from a distance and then she said to herself "I wonder where Kenai came from. What's his story about his own past? Is he actually really friendly? Or it's just a facade? I hope I find the answers I need.". However, just then, three totally unexpected enemies soon appeared - Chrysalis, Sombra and Howard (Stephan and the twins' father), and judging by the looks on their evil eyes, they're all definitely up to no good. When Kenai and the Hippogriffs suddenly turned and spotted them, this is when the three villains charged towards them, and before Kenai and the Hippogriffs can react, Sombra captured Crystal Feather, Chrysalis captured Clownbeak, and Howard captured Kenai, and then the villains held them all hostages and waited for everyone to come searching for Kenai, and eventually, everyone came to the beach and found Kenai and the Hippogriffs being captured and harassed by Sombra, Chrysalis and Howard.
When Stephan saw what his father and the two other villains were doing to Kenai and to the Hipogriffs, the young male centaur asked in shock "Dad?!", and when Howard turned and faced his son, the demonic adult male centaur said to him and to everyone else "You and the twins come back home with me, or that brown panda bear dies!", but then Kenai cried "Don't listen to him! This is just what he wants you to do!", but then Howard yelled at him "Quite, panda bear!", but then Shining Armor stepped forward and said "I'm taking back everything bad I said to Kenai! He's not evil like I thought he was and still is! Let him go!", and when Kenai heard what Shining Armor said, tears started to form in his eyes once again, but then Howard said "Give me back my children, and I will let that panda bear go!", but then Fluttershy said "It's not gonna happen, Mr!", and then Rainbow Dash yelled at Howard "You heard what Fluttershy said! Now let Kenai go or we'll all make sure you'll regret messing up with us!".
However, then, King Sombra said "We also got these Hippogriffs captured by us, and we'd like them to hear what Kenai is going to say and tell about himself!", and this made Kenai start to cry before he said with tears in his eyes "I'm Gilad's panda bear!", but then he quickly added "But he berated me and banished me from his evil family and animal team forever!", and when the Hippogriff heard what he said, they both gasped in shock to know that Kenai was evil in the past, but was eventually berated and banished forever by his owner, but then Kenai continued and said "I want to be good like my albino orangutan friend, Shujaa, and I want to exact revenge on Gilad for not only banishing me from his and his family animal team, but also for banishing Shujaa before me!", and then he explained "In other words - I want to show him what happens when he underestimates and banishes his own animals away from the team!", and when everyone heard Kenai's speech, they all gasped in shock to know that Kenai wants to teach his former owner, Gilad, a lesson for underestimating and banishing him and Shujaa before.
However, Kenai's speech didn't impressed Howard, and Chrysalis and Sombra also appeared to be unimpressed by it, and then Howard said mockingly "Oh, what a speech you just gave, brown panda bear!", but then he added evilly "But now you die!", but then Kenai bit down on Howard's human wrist and hand and caused him to scream in pain and throw him away and make him hit the sandy terrain on the beach in front of everypony and every creature, who then started to approach and gather around him, and luckily for them all, Kenai was still alive. Then, Kenai slowly got back up on his feet, and then he turned back to Howard and yelled at him "Let Clownbeak and his mother go!", but then Howard said "I don't think so!" and then he added "Only if you give me back my children, we will let these two dumb and filthy Hippogriffs go!", and then he, Chrysalis and Sombra all laughed evilly all together.
However, a loud trumpeting roar was then suddenly heard, and at first, Kenai and Shujaa thought it was Lin Raju coming to the rescue, but instead of him, Terrence the African bush elephant and his three remaining Liontaurs appeared and they managed to scare away Howard, Sombra and Chrysalis, and this caused and prompted them to dump and leave Crystal Feather and Clownbeak alone with him and with everyone else, before Terrence turned and focused his attention on Kenai, and then the evil elephant said "Well, well, well! Isn't that the brown panda bear again! I'm so pleased right now I'd like to crush him to death!", and then he laughed evilly as he approached everypony and every creature with his Liontaurs in tow, but then Clownbeak cried "Hey, leave Kenai alone, you big dummy!", and then he flew up and then he grabbed and pulled at Terrence's right ear with his eagle talons, thus causing the evil elephant to scream in pain and try to flap his right ear back and forth to shake the young Hippogriff off so he can get him for trying to mess up with him.
After struggling for a bit, Terrence managed to throw Clownbeak off his right ear, and then he managed to turn and wrap his trunk around the young Hippogriff and he started to choke him, and this made Crystal Feather say to the heartless bull elephant "Let my son go, you horrible pachyderm!", but Terrence ignored her and then he said to Clownbeak as he tightened his choking grip around the young Hippogriff's body and neck "Say goodbye, little Hippogriff!", but then Kenai suddenly ran towards Terrence, got past his Liontaurs, and then he jumped up and started to bite on Terrence's left ear, thus causing him to scream, trumpet and roar in pain before he tried to shake Kenai off his left ear, but Kenai didn't let go no matter what, and that is until when he finally let go, Terrence let out a painful trumpeting roar and then he let go of Clownbeak and allowed him to run back to his mother, and when everypony and every creature saw Kenai as he landed safely on the sandy terrain of the beach, they all saw Kenai is holding a chunk of flesh in his mouth before he then spat it out, and when they all turned back to Terrence, they saw large notch in his left ear, and then Terrence cried as he then looked at Kenai with angry eyes "You will lay for what you have done to my left ear, you overgrown fur ball!", but just then, Shining Armor stepped forward and put himself between Terrence and Kenai, and then he blasted with his magic at Terrence, causing the evil elephant to back away, before he called for his Liontaurs to retreat, and so the three Liontaurs obeyed their elephant boss and then they started to follow him as he turned and started to run away, and Terrence and his Liontaurs all ran away together until they all disappeared from sight and left everypony, every creature and the two Hippogriffs alone.
With all the villains and enemies gone from sight, Shining Armor then turned to Kenai and then he said to him "I'm sorry for talking badly to you like I did before. Please, forgive me, Kenai.", and then Kenai pulled him into a tight hug and then he said without crying again "You're forgiven, your majesty.", and then he added "I thank your apology you owed me.", before Shujaa interrupted their moment and said "Now let's go home! Celestia and Luna would both like to hear about that new friendship bond between Prince Shining Armor and my friend Kenai!", and when everyone heard what he said, they all decided to go back to Canterlot, but not before Kenai said goodbye to his two new Hippogriff friends, Crystal Feather and her son Clownbeak, and once Kenai was done bidding farewell to his newest friends, Twilight, Starlight, Flurry, Shining Armor and Cadance all used their magic together to teleport themselves and everyone else with them from Mount Aris and back to Canterlot.
