Back in the royal castle, Aylene and Stephan waited outside for Ember and for the mane seven to return from their tour around Canterlot, and Celestia and Luna stayed by their side while they both had worried looks on their faces, and once Ember and the mane seven (and Spike) all returned back to the royal castle from their tour around Canterlot, they, particularly Ember, weren't greeted and welcomed back in the way they all expected.

Then, when Ember and the mane seven all noticed that Celestia and Luna have worried looks, Aylene and Stephan have angry looks, and Chloe is missing and is nowhere to be found, Twilight then asked "What's going on?", and then Rainbow Dash added "Where's Chloe?", and then Applejack asked "Did she went to play in the meadow alone and have some private time to only herself?", but then Celestia let out a sigh and simply said with her eyes looking down and keeping her worried look "Chloe ran away.", and when everyone heard what she said, they all (except for Ember) gasped in shock, before Rarity then asked "Where did she go?" and then she added "Can somepony or some other creature here please tell me what happened when we went on the tour around Canterlot to show everything that's new here to Ember?".

But then, however, Stephan stepped forward with Aylene following by his side, and then the centaur said in an angry tone "That Ember here is the reason why Chloe ran away!", and then Aylene added in agreement "Yeah! She threatened Chloe that if she ever does just ONE thing that will look wrong in her eyes, she will consider my human sister as her enemy!", and then Stephan spat out in anger like venom and said angrily "Ember thinks all humans are dangerous monsters, but what about centaurs like me?! We centaurs have the upper body of a human, and we too have the same intelligence and we also feel the same feelings as all normal humans! What am I trying to say here is that why would that jerk for a dragon lord dare to threaten Chloe just because she's a human?! She's even worse than my own father!", and then Aylene added "That's right! I may be a pony, but I'm still Chloe's official sister, and I will never dare to insult her or hurt her feelings just because she's a human!".

However, Ember stepped forward and said to the teenage Pegasus mare and to the teenage centaur "Did you two just dared to insult me?! How dare you! Who do you think you two really are?! Why do you two even care so much about that human?!", and then Stephan said "Because she's our sister and best friend, and we're not going to dump her behind us! Never!", but then Ember said "Have you all forgotten what these Yigal, Gilad and Ezra all did to us and to our world before that Chloe showed up?! How am I supposed to know she's different?!", and then Aylene explained "Because she have the big heart Yigal, Gilad and Ezra never had!", and then Stephan added and said to Ember "But why would you even care about Chloe?! All you wanted her to do is to either go live with the evil brothers or leave Equestria and never return!".

However, Ember said "It's not true! I didn't said to Chloe that I wanted her to go away and never return!", but then Stephan said to her "Obviously, you said something SIMILAR to this! Look what that caused Chloe to do, and just look at what you've done!", and then he raised his voice to the point he exploded in her face "YOU FREAKY REPTILE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF! CHLOE RAN AWAY BECAUSE OF YOU! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!", and then he and Aylene were both about to attack Ember, but Twilight, Celestia and Luna used their magic to stop them in time, before Fluttershy then said "Stephan, Aylene, please, calm down. Violence is never the answer.", and then she added "I suggest we all should go and look for her, I just hope she didn't went too far away.", and then she asked as she stretched out her left foreleg and hoof and moved it forward "Who's with me?", and then everypony, Spike and Stephan all gave their hand, claws and hooves to touch at Fluttershy's hoof and then when they all made contact with her hoof while gathering around in a circle, everyone then said "All of us!".

However, then, they're all suddenly joined by another clawed, scaly and reptilian hand (that wasn't Spike's), and it was none other than Ember who also placed her clawed hand to make contact with Fluttershy's hoof, and then they all turned to see Ember is also touching Fluttershy's hoof, before she then said "Count me in!", and then Stephan said as he gave her proud smirk "Of course you're counted here too! Because when we find Chloe, you awe her an apology for these false warnings you gave her before!", and then Aylene added "You got Chloe in trouble, so YOU will be the one to rescue her!", and then Celestia said to them all, causing everyone to turn back to face her and Luna "Luna and I wish you all good luck in finding Chloe and taking her back home!", and then Luna added "Good luck, and I hope you all come back here with Chloe safe and sound!", and Stephan said to them back "We will!", and then Twilight said "Now let's go!", and then Spike cried "This is for Chloe!", and then Starlight Glimmer added "Let's find Chloe!", and then Rainbow Dash finished and said "And take her back home with us! All of us!", and so the mane seven, Spike, Aylene, Stephan and Ember all left the royal castle and went together to search for Chloe.

Meanwhile, Chloe is still riding on Lin Raju's back, and she's somewhat really more happier and less heartbroken than before, and the two were now still traveling deep inside the Everfree Forest, and Lin Raju wants to find and reintroduce Asha and her okapi family to Chloe once again, since the first failure to make them friends because of Akeno's interference about a whole yeart ago, and it didn't took Terrence longer than 20 more minutes before he finally found them and stopped near the okapis' herd, and then he gave Chloe another stomach rumbling noise to make listen to him and look and see the herd of the okapis, whom are all none other Asha and her entire family (minus Akeno), and when Chloe saw Asha and her okapis we're all close enough and weren't too far away from where she and Lin Raju have both stopped, Chloe, rather than showing a angry frowning look on her face, actually gave them all a smile when she recognized them all before she said "I know these okapis! These were Asha and her family! It's their herd!".

Then, Chloe raised up and waved her arm repeatedly and called "Hey! Asha! It's me, Chloe! I came back to meet all of you!", and when the okapis heard her voice, they all turned to see her riding on Lin Raju's back and waving her arm and hand repeatedly and calling for them to come and meet her for the second time, and this is when Asha stepped forward and spotted Chloe, and then she called for the rest of her family "Come with me, everyone! Chloe's back to meet us again! Let's go and meet her again!", and all the other okapis obeyed her words, and then they started to follow Asha until they all stopped in front of Lin Raju, and Chloe looked at all of them with a happy smile from Lin Raju's back, and then Asha slowly stepped forward to greet the teenage human girl once again, and then she said when she reached up with her neck and head to get close enough to let Chloe touch her face "Greetings, Chloe! It is an honor for us all to meet you once again! We're all very sorry for everything that traitor Akeno did to you and to your pony sister from the start! Even thought he started tormenting and harassing the both of you just a year ago, I still can't believe that he's still doing so and is also stuck up as ever!".

Then, Chloe reached with her arms and hands and then she stroked at the okapi matriarch's face and then she said to her "I understand everything you say, and I forgive you. All of you. Plus, when Akeno kidnapped me and Aylene and yelled at us and dumped us both in the same cave Sayla took me alone to and then dumped me in, we both discovered Akeno's dark secret he had in his life that caused him to turn evil - he told us that humans and ponies killed both his older brother and his only son in two different times, probably long before I even arrived in Equestria.".

When Asha and her okapis all heard what Chloe said and explained about Akeno's dark secret, Asha then said to her "I see. You and Aylene already know the truth. I'm so sorry he did all of these abusive things to the both of you in just a full year.", but then Chloe said "It's okay, and like I just said, I forgive you all, though I must still warn you all, and particularly all of your children, about a vicious and vile creature who is the last of his own kind who will do everything it takes to kill them all for pleasure.". When Asha and all her okapis heard what she said, a young female okapi then asked "Who is that vile creature you're talking about? Is he worse than our traitorous Akeno?", and then Chloe said "Yes, he is! His name is Terrence, and he's the last living African bush elephant living in all of Equestria, and his main hobby is to kill both babies and children, particularly more girls than boys, since he knows that he's already an endling, which means that there are no baby African bush elephants from his own kind which he can take care of and raise them up to become the same as evil as he already is now.".

When all the okapis heard what Chloe said about Terrence, a young male okapi then asked her "What's his catch?", and then Chloe turned to him and explained while still sitting on Lin Raju's back "Recently, my friends, my family, my sister and I we've all learned why Terrence acts so evilly - when he was just a young calf, or probably a juvenile, he lost both of his parents and his older sister when they're killed and poached by bad ponies for their tusks, which it's also the same thing that still happening back in my world, back on planet earth, when human poachers kill elephants for their tusks, rhinos for their horns, lions for their manes and furs, and crocodiles for their skin and teeth.".

When the okapis all heard the reason which clearly explained why and how Terrence became evil in the first place, they all gasped in shock once again, before Asha then asked "And where is he now?", and then Chloe said and explained "My mother Celestia, my aunt Luna, Twilight, Stephan and Bluebell managed to knock Terrence out cold for a needless death which he caused, and then they used their magic and a magical healing potion and they worked all together and managed within just a full hour to cut off and remove away that vile elephant's left tusk away from his face, and then mother Celestia and aunt Luna locked him up in a cage and transported him to Tartarus to serve his sentence for the needless death he have caused.".

When the okapis all heard what Chloe said and explained about Terrence's whereabouts which she knew of (before he was released and was led out of Tartarus by Ganda the female southern white rhinoceros), Asha then said "So, there's no reason for us to fear him right now, because he's locked up in a cage in Tartarus, isn't he?", and so Chloe said "Yes, he's trapped in Tartarus, and I'm pretty sure that he's slowly starting to regret doing all of his vile, insane and malevolent acts and deeds he have done from the start in the first place. Right now, he's rotting in his cage next to Lord Tirek and Cozy Glow, who will both not only keep him company in next door, but also annoy him to death, and this will make Terrence wanna cry out loud like a little kid and crawl back to us like a helpless baby, with tears in his eyes and begging for mercy.", and then she gave herself a proud smirk.

Then, Lin Raju slowly lowered down onto his knees, elbows and stomach to allow Chloe to finally climb down from his back and go back to solid ground, and when Lin Raju ended up lying down on his stomach, he rumbled to Chloe with his stomach once again to tell her that she can go down from his back, and so Chloe climbed down from Lin Raju's back and got back to solid ground, and once she stood wih her feet on the safe and solid ground, Lin Raju slowly stood back up on his feet and then he let out a trumpeting roar, which caused Chloe to cover her ears again, while Asha and her okapis all turned with their heads and necks away from the Mammophant, but once he stopped roaring, Chloe finally got her hands off her own ears and the okapis also turned back to Lin Raju, before Chloe then said to the Mammophant "Goodbye, Lin Raju! I promise that this time, I will have with the okapis lots of fun!", and so Lin Raju slowly turned tail and then he started to walk away and leave Chloe alone with all the okapis, and once he was far away, he let out another trumpeting roar that was less louder for Chloe and the okapis to hear because he has gone far away from them, and after a few minutes of watching him walking away, Lin Raju was finally gone from eyesight, thus leaving Chloe with Asha and her family.

Then, Chloe turned to the baby okapis and asked them "Now how about we'll all go and play and have some lots of time together?", and then one of the adult okapis, a female, said to her "I accept letting you take our children to play with you. After all, we all know you're a good human with a big heart, and Akeno had no rights to yell at you and say otherwise. You can go and play and have some fun all together, but just don't forget to return back here before sunset.", and then Chloe said to her back "That's a deal!", and then she turned to the baby okapis and said "Let's go, everyone! Let's finally have some lots of fun together!", and then all the baby okapis cheered and cried happily "Yay! We're finally going to play with Chloe!", and so Chloe and the young okapis all started to trot and run away and then they all started to play together, and as she and all the adult okapis all watched them trotting, running and playing around all together, Asha said "I hope they all will be okay.", and then she gave a kind smile as a tear of joy formed and rolled down her eye, as she watched Chloe and all the young okapis trotting, running, playing and having fun all together.

Meanwhile, Aylene, Stephan, the mane seven, Spike and Ember all continued to search for Chloe and they all ended up reaching the Everfree Forest, so they all decided to enter and check and see if Chloe is wandering around in there, and they all continued to look for her there, and then Stephan said "Chloe, please be safe.", and then Aylene added "Chloe, dear sister, please be and stay safe.", but the Soike said to them "Cheer up, Aylene and Stephan, I'm sure Chloe is fine and I'm pretty that right now she's also looking for us the same way.", and then Ember interrupted and said "Now I see the errors in my ways when I misjudged your friend just because she's a human. I shouldn't have done this to her before I left, and besides, she was so excited to meet me at first because she learned that I'm also friends with Thorax, who is her father figure who also adopted her, alongside Celestia who is the mother. I truly regret what I did that caused her to run away and leave the royal castle like she did. I want to apologize to her and tell her that she's the first ever human who is actually good whom I've ever met in my entire life.".

Back with Chloe and the young okapis, they all accidentally wandered too far away from the herd and so they tried to stay and stick together and search for Asha and for the adult okapis, but instead, they all ended up running into a big male rhinoceros and a big female hippopotamus, but luckily, they managed to stop and hide behind some of the nearby trees to prevent the two large and ferocious animals from detecting them. However, these rhinoceros and hippopotamus were none other than Saut and Einhorn and both seemed to be busy drinking from a nearby lake together, and when the young okapis saw the two massive and ferocious beasts drinking from the nearby lake, one of the okapis, a female, asked Chloe as she trembled and cowered in fear "Chloe, who are these rhinoceros and hippopotamus who are both standing over there and drinking from that lake together?", and then Chloe said and explained "These are Saut and his albino Hippopotamus friend, Einhorn, and it seems they're both busy drinking from that lake together.", and then a young male okapi asked "What? These two are friends?", and then Chloe said "Yes, and if we don't want to get detected by them, we must sneak away very slowly and very carefully before they can both turn their heads away from the lake and see us, and if they see us, particularly and especially me out of all of us, they won't hesitate to charge and attack us.", and when the young okapis all heard what Chloe said, they all shock in great fear as one, a male, took a peak on Saut and Einhorn from behind one of the nearby trees, before he then said in fear "Oh my gosh, they're both so big and also very-very enormous!".

Then, Chloe and the young okapis all started to sneak away very slowly and very carefully and they all tried to keep quiet so to avoid being detected by Saut and Einhorn, but then a young female okapi accidentally tripped over a small rock and she ended up falling and hitting the ground, thus prompting to cry "Ouch!" in pain, but when Saut and Einhorn heard her cry, they both turned away from the lake and then they spotted the young female okapi, who is lying down on her belly and is now trying to get back up on her feet, and even though only Einhorn can see her while Saut can't due to both his eyes being scarred and blinded (though most adult rhinos usually have a very poor eyesight, even if they're not blind), Saut could still sniff and smell her scent with ease, and that's how he too clearly knew she's there.

When the young female okapi turned around and saw the half-southern/half-northern white rhinoceros and the albino hippopotamus both staring her down, with Saut using his sense of smell to stare her down without using both of his scarred and blinded eyes, she screamed at them and then she quickly struggled to get back up on her feet and started to cry for help, only to end up falling back down again and again, but Chloe and the other young okapis couldn't hear her cries, since they all already managed to get away without getting detected, and that allowed both Saut and Einhorn to gain on her as they started to approach her very slowly, with Saut leading and Einhorn following in tow, and once the two got really close to the young female okapi who got left behind, she cried out loud and yelled in tears as she then started to shake and tremble in fear "PLEASE, LEAVE ME ALONE!", thus shocking, surprising and also a bit startling both the rhinoceros and the hippopotamus, who then both took a step back and stepped aback from the young female okapi, who looked at them in fear and terror as she thought the two might bring her harm if she tries to provoke them, even if not purposely.

Then, Saut slowly gained encouragement and so he started to sniff the young female okapi and circle around her while continuing to sniff her from every direction, and he walked around her a 360 to check her out from all the sides and eventually he came to a stop and ended up 'staring' her down with his face and horns were aiming to attack her, before he let out an angry snort and then he suddenly spoke up and said in an evil tone "Die, little one!", thus shocking and scaring the young female okapi who then started to scream for help and then she begged Saut to spare her life and she said "Please, don't hurt me, Mr. Rhinoceros! I don't wanna mess up with you, I swear! I'll just go away and you and your friend here won't have to see me again!", but then Einhorn suddenly spoke up and then she said in the same evil tone as Saut's "Sorry, kid, but weren't going to spare your life! Even if we don't even know who you really are, little okapi, we both will still kill you!", and then the two huge and ferocious ungulates both laughed evilly together, thus causing tears of fear and terror to form and roll down her eyes as she wanted them both to just go away and leave her alone, but then Saut aimed to strike the young female okapi square in the face with his massive and sharp horns, and then he said evilly "Time to die, sweetie!", thus causing the young okapi to cower in even more fear and turn with her face, head and neck away from the rhinoceros and the hippopotamus and she waited helplessly for Saut to strike at her with his horns, but before he can give the young female okapi the malevolent blow, the totally unexpected happened.
