Then, a teenage female voice that didn't sounded like Chloe's or even Aylene's yelled at the two huge beasts "Leave that young female okapi alone!", and when they all heard the voice yelling at Saut and Einhorn, they and the young female okapi all started to look around to see who's calling them, before Bluebell suddenly burst out of the bushes and then she started to attack Saut and Einhorn, and the young female okapi just sat there and looked in shock, but also in a bit of fear and terror when she saw Bluebell and how strong she is against animals and creatures who are all larger than her in body size.
Then Bluebell clenched her hands into fists and then she lit them up in blue magic aura, and then she was about to ready herself to strike at both Saut and Einhorn with her magical fist punches to make sure they're both going down with ease, and so she then struck her right fist and punched Saut directly in the jaw, thus shocking his entire body and causing him to fall down unconscious as he got knocked out, and then she used her left fist and to do the same thing to Einhorn when the albino hippopotamus charged at her and was about to strike at her with her massive jaws, but Bluebell successfully punched her directly in the snout, thus shocking the hippopotamus' entire body, before she too fell down unconscious from the magical fist punch, thus declaring Bluebell the winner.
Once both Saut and Einhorn were down, Bluebell turned to see the young female okapi, who is still just sitting down and shaking in fear and terror at what the winged centauress just did to both the rhinoceros and the hippopotamus, and when Bluebell approached slowly, the young okapi cried and begged "Please, don't hurt me, Miss! I'm just a kid! Leave me alone!", but then Bluebell asked "Hurt you? Why should I?", and then the young female okapi explained "Because I saw what you just did! You knocked out these rhinoceros and hippopotamus, and now you probably want to do me the same thing!".
However, when Bluebell heard what the young okapi just said, the winged centauress said softly "Shhh, it's okay, little one. I won't hurt you like I did to these two no good bullies. I just tried to save you, that's all.", and then the young female okapi asked her "Really?", and then Bluebell said softly "Of course." and then she added "Now get up on your feet and let's go find your mommy and daddy, you seems to be lost.", and then the young okapi said and explained "I am! Chloe and my family we're just playing together, and we stumbled upon and came across these rhinoceros and hippopotamus, and we tried to sneak away, but I got left behind!".
When Bluebell heard the young female okapi mentioning Chloe's name, she then asked her "Did you said Chloe was here in the Everfree Forest?", and the young okapi cried "Yes! We played together with the others, but then we got separated by these enormous rhinoceros and hippopotamus who tried to kill me before you came to save me!", and then the winged centauress said "Then let's go find your family and friends, and also find Chloe as well! I just hope they can't be too far away from here!", and then the youn female okapi finally managed to stand back up on her feet and then she cried "Let's go!", and so she and Bluebell started to search for Chloe and for the other young okapis together.
Meanwhile, Aylene, Stephan, the mane seven, Spike and Ember were all searching for Chloe in the Everfree Forest, and they all ended up coming across Lin Raju, who is just wandering alone in the forest after he left Chloe with the okapis. When they recognized the Mammophant, Twilight then asked him "Lin Raju? Where's Chloe?", and then Rainbow Dash hovered up towards his face and asked "What did you do to her?", but then Lin Raju trumpeted and roared at her, thus causing her and the others to cover their ears until he stopped, and once he stopped, Lin Raju turned tail and started to walk away, motioning with not his trunk but his tail for them all to follow him, and so they decided to go after him and see where he will lead them, and they all hoped that he may lead them to Chloe.
Meanwhile Chloe and the young okapis continued to search for Asha and for the adult okapis, but they couldn't find them anywhere, but then they all saw the one young female okapi who got separated from them earlier returning back to them, but they also saw that she's not alone - Bluebell was seen walking along with her, and eventually they both got reunited with Chloe and with the other young okapis, but when Chloe saw Bluebell, she then asked her "Bluebell? What are you doing here?", and then the young female okapi said "She saved my life from these big bad rhinoceros and hippopotamus! And then she took me with her back to all of you!", and then Bluebell asked Chloe "What are you doing here? And who are all of these other young okapis?", and then Chloe explained "They're all the youngsters from Asha's family, and we're just trying to find our way back to them, because we accidentally got lost and we also stumbled upon Saut and Einhorn, but we didn't knew one of us got left behind!", and then she added "Thank you for bringing her back to us safe ans sound, Bluebell!", and Bluebell said back "It is my honor to rescue a child or a youngster and at the same time deal with the two no good bullies who tried to hurt her for fun! I managed to knock them out in the same way I managed to knock Terrence out!".
However, then said an awfully familiar male voice "Is that what you really think?!", and when Chloe, Bluebell and the young okapis all heard the male voice and what he said, they all turned to see Akeno coming out from behind the trees and facing them with an evil smile creeping on his own face, before he just said and added evilly "Very well! Welcome to meet me again, kids!", and then he burst into an evil laughter, thus shocking Chloe and Bluebell, and scaring all the young okapis. Then, the young female okapi whom Bluebell saved and befriended asked in shock "A-Akeno?! W-what are you doing here?!", and then Akeno said evilly "I'm just here to say hello to all of you! But I almost forgot that there are four friends of mine who wants to meet you all, and especially Chloe, and maybe even that chicken-winged, female half-hairless ape/half-stripeless zebra or hers!".
However, when the insult hit Bluebell because it was directly on both Chloe and herself, she reared up onto her hind horse legs and cried with tears of anger forming in her eyes "How dare you insult me like that?! I'm a centauress!", but then a male voice that came behind Akeno yelled at her "Shut up your mouth, centauress! Or else I will finish where I started!", and then Terrence came out from right behind Akeno and went to his left side and then he trumpeted and roared angrily at her, thus shocking Bluebell and causing her to take off and fly away for a short distance, and she ended up landing beside the young okapis.
When Bluebell and Chloe both saw the evil one-tusked African bush elephant free from Tartarus and roaming with his friends once again, Chloe then asked in shock "Terrence?! But how?!", and then Bluebell asked "I thought you're imprisoned in Tartarus after we removed your left tusk!", but then Terrence said evilly "Surprise!", but then the young female okapi who befriended Bluebell asked while shaking in fear at his intimidating size and height "B-but how did you escaped Tartarus? Who set you free? Why is that?", and then Terrence looked down at her and smiled evilly before he then said to her "Oh, and we also almost forgot to show you my savior who rescued me from Tartarus and became my new best friend!", and then he moved around Akeno to get to his right side and said "Meet my new best friend!", and then Ganda the rhinoceros walked up towards them until she reached and stopped by Akeno's left (where Terrence first stopped before he then moved to Akeno's right), and then she said to Chloe, Bluebell and all the young okapis with an evil tone "Well, hello there, darlings! It's nice to meet you all!", and then she cackled evilly, thus scaring all the young okapis, before the one female whom Bluebell befriended cried "Ahhh! It's Saut's girlfriend! She's here to destroy us!".
However, Ganda then asked "Saut? Who's he?", and then she added "I'm not his girlfriend! I don't even know him!", but then the young female okapi cried "B-but, y-you're a rhinoceros just like him!", but then Ganda said to her as took a step forward "So what? I may be a rhinoceros, but I definitely don't know about that Saut you're just talking about!", and then she added "And now, let me take your little okapi life with my horns and show you I'm even better than that Saut you just spoke of!", and then she moved even closer and aimed her horns to attack the young female okapi, who then shook in fear and begged "Please, don't hurt me!", and then she started sobbing and whimpering and she hoped Ganda will show her mercy, but the adult female southern white rhinoceros showed her no mercy at all as she look right at her with evil eyes, and then she was about to charge towards her.
However, just then, a blast of magic suddenly came out of nowhere and it hit Ganda and caused her to fall and land on her underbelly, and then the mane seven, Aylene, Stephan, Ember, Spike, Lin Raju, Asha and all the adult okapis came just in time to rescue everyone else from harm, and when the young okapis saw their parents and Asha coming towards them, they tried to run towards them too and get reunited with them, but then Lysander and Sayla both came out of nowhere and blocked the way between the adult and their children, before Sayla then said evilly as she eyed each and every one of the young okapis "You're not going anywhere near your parents, kids!" as then she terrified them all with an angry, tooth-bearing face, and then she stood upright and roared like an angry silverback to make herself look even more intimidating to the young okapis, who cowered in fear at her scary and terrifying appearance.
Then, Asha yelled and demanded "Leave our children alone!", but then Sayla turned back to her and yelled at her back "Shut up your mouth, the old okapi who casted our friend Akeno out of her family!", and then Lysander added as he licked his lips "These little okapis go to nowhere but to the inside of my stomach!", and then he turned back and he was about to strike one of the young okapis by shutting his jaws shut at him, but then Ember yelled at him "You leave them alone, you jerk!", and then she flew towards him and then she punched him in the jaw with her claws, thus knocking out another one of his teeth out of his mouth, thus making it the second time someone punches him in the jaws and causes one of his teeth to come and fall out, and that caused Lysander to snarl in pain before he then said to the dragon lord as he turned to face her "You will pay for this, dragon!", but then Chloe came from right behind him and then she liften up her right foot and stomped down on Lysander's tail, causing him to scream in pain before he turned back to face her and said "That's it! I will eat you for this, Chloe!", but before he could snap his jaws shut at her, the young female okapi who befriended Bluebell came out of nowhere and then she helped ember when the two did a double kick together and they managed to directly kick at the evil crocodile's forehead, thus knocking him out cold.
Then, Chloe asked Ember in shock "Dragon lord Ember! I thought you hate me because I'm a human! Why did you just saved me?", and then Ember said "Because it's what friends do, and I'm so sorry I misjudged you for being a human!", and then she stretched and gave her a clawed dragon hand and said "Please, accept my apology!", and Chloe slowly stretched and gave her own arm and hand and when she touched and held Ember's claws, she then shook her hand with the dragon lord's clawed hand before she then said to her "I forgive you, but now it's not the time to shake hands! We have a job to do and everybody needs out help! We took Lysander out, but we still need to take out and defeat the other four animals!", and then Ember said to her "Let's do this, Chloe!", and Chloe said in return "Yes!" before they both headed back towards the battle together to help everyone take out Akeno and his three other friends, and the young female okapi followed them close behind to aid and help in the battle too.
In the battle, Aylene, Stephan, Bluebell, the mane seven, Spike and the okapis all fought together to take down Akeno and his three friends who still stood on their feet and fought with all their might, but at some point, Aylene, Stephan and Bluebell all managed together to take out sayla, thus leaving only Akeno, Terrence and Ganda the only animals whom they must still take out in order to end the battle. Then, the other young okapis also helped by tricking Ganda into chasing after each and every one of them by fooling her to chase after a different young okapi before the first one tires out, and this eventually resulted in Ganda eventually running blindly and crashing with her face and horns into a tree trunk, thus getting defeated, and leaving only Terrence and Akeno the only animals whom they must still take out in order to end the battle.
Then, however, everyone stopped when they all saw Akeno and Asha facing and challenging each other to a duel, and so they all crowded around them to see which okapi will come out the winner - elderly matriarch or the banished traitor. Akeno made the first move when he charged towards Asha, but then the okapi matriarch dodged and got out of the way in time, but then Akeno ran up into her and then he started to bite her on the back of the neck to take her down, but Asha cleverly kicked him in the chest and torso with a hind leg and fought back, but while fighting each other, Asha said to Akeno "Until just a full year ago, I trusted you like a son!", but then Akeno yelled "You, asha, as well as all of your family, were friends, WITH PONIES AND HUMANS!", he raised his voice in anger and kicked her in the butt with a foreleg, before he then added evilly "I fight for all okapis' survival in all of Equestria!", and then he tried to snap at the back of her neck, but she quickly got away and said back "You fight for only yourself, Akeno!", but then Akeno screamed angrily at her, but then she added as she tried to defend herself from his attacks "You deserve to be sent to live in Tartarus, Akeno! You belong in a cage!", but after defending herself several times, Akeno finally managed to throw himself at Asha and then he managed to push her forcefully and then he angrily slammed her against a tree, thus almost knocking her out cold, but she tried to keep standing up to him, even if Akeno is younger and stronger than her, and even if he's also a male.
However, though she did everything she could to give him a fair beating, Akeno finally managed to knock her out cold and then he cried and yelled victoriously, and everyone else (except for Terrence) cried in unison "NOOOOOOOOO!", but then Terrence said "Oh, yes!" as an evil smile crept on his face begore he then slowly approached Asha's unconscious body, and then he checked on her by touching at her body with his trunk and determine if she's already dead or still alive, and after checking her for about two minutes, Terrence went up to Akeno and said to him "Akeno, Ash is still alive!", and then Akeno said to him "Just kill her, Terrence! What elephants like you are for?", and then Terrence remembered he's an elephant himself and said "Oh, right!", and then he went back to Asha so he can finish her off for good.
However, a young male okapi suddenly cried "Oh no, you don't!", and then all the young okapis ran up to Asha's unconscious body and then they started to attack Terrence from all directions to take him out, but even together, they're still no match for his massive size, as well as his remaining right tusk, and so he managed to throw them all back to their parents with his trunk and forelegs and he also managed to seize the one young female who befriended Bluebell by the neck and then he started to choke and squeeze at her windpipe to death as he tightened his grip on her neck with each second passing, but before he can take her out, Lin Raju came from the side and started to attack Terrence, thus prompting him to let go his grip and throw the young female okapi back down to the ground, before he then turned to face the Mammophant, who seemed very determined to take him out.
Then, Lin Raju and Terrence both started to charge at each other and then they both started to fight each other, and the young okapis encouraged him by calling and yelling to him "You can do this, Lin Raju! You're stronger than him! Show him what you're made of!", and the encouragement was enough to help Lin Raju in his fight against Terrence, and eventually, he gained the upper hand (or trunk), and then he used all the strength he had to throw the one-tusked African bush elephant at Akeno, but the evil okapi managed to get out of the way before he can get crashed by his larger pachyderm friend, thus getting Terrence knocked out, but not Akeno, who is still standing up to everyone all by himself.
However, Akeno had one last move up to his sleeve, which may still save him and his friends from further harm, and so he used his evil magic on all the adult okapis (except for the unconscious Asha) and he ended brainwashing them all and turning them into his slaves, and at the same time, he managed to use his magic to heal his four friends and help them stand back up on their feet again, and then he laughed evilly and said "You thought you can all stop me and my friends, don't you?! Well, guess what - there is no Asha no more! From now on, I'M the leader of the okapis, and nothing, NOTHING CAN STOP ME!", he raised his voice before he and his friends all laughed evilly.
Then, Twilight tried to use her magic to free them from Akeno's magic, but it turned out to be futile, and all the adult okapis gathered around Akeno and his friends, thus leaving all the young (and unaffected) okapis to watch helplessly as all their parents and elders were now Akeno's personal slaves, and this made Lin Raju glare at him angrily before he suddenly spoke up and said and demanded "You let the adults go, right now!", but then Terrence yelled at him "Will you shut your mouth, half mammoth!", and then Ganda added "Face it, you idiots! Now all the okapis were under our total control!", and then Sayla added as she gave everyone (including all the young okapis) "And now all their children have NOTHING!" and then Lysander continued "And NO ONE to care for them and for their young lives no more!", and then Akeno finished and said "With Asha is now gone, the children (young okapis) have no one to care for any of them anymore!", and then Terrence suddenly lit up his forehead in the same red aura as Lysander, Sayla and Akeno's, thus showing that now he can finally use the same evil magic they can, and then he said evilly "See ya all never!", and then he teleported and transported himself alongside Akeno, Sayla, Lysander, Ganda and all the brainwashed adult okapis to somewhere else far away from the Everfree Forest, thus disappearing from everyone's eyesights and leaving them, particularly all the young okapis, all alone.
Then, all the young okapis started to cry over having their parents and elders taken away from them by the adult male who was once one of them but is now a traitor to become his personal slaves, and so Chloe, Aylene, Stephan, Bluebell, the mane seven, Ember, Spike and Lin Raju all worked together and they all attempted to calm down all the okapi children and reassure them that they will have their parents and elders returning back for them to reunite with them someday, and Lin Raju even let two of the young okapis to cry into the side of his body and feel his thick, half mammoth-like, half-woolly body, to help them calm down, and then Asha slowly opened her eyes and looked up to see everyone, who then noticed and gathered around her weak and dying body, and since Asha have no more strength to stand and get back up on her feet, she said and begged as she took her final breathes "Please, everyone...do me a last favor...please, take care of all of my family's youngsters...until...until you find a way to get their parents and elders back to them...", but then Lin Raju said to her and begged "Come on, Asha! Don't say that! You're going to be fine and nothing bad is going to happen to you! Please, you gotta stand back up on your feet! Show all of your grandchildren that you're strong! Please, Asha! You can't die! Please!".
However, Asha said while passing away from her wounds "I...I'm sorry, everyone, but it's too late for me now...", but then Chloe said "No!", and then Aylene added "Don't!", but then Asha weakly said "Goodbye...everyone...", and then she finally fell with her head to the ground down and then she stopped breathing, thus showing everyone that now she's gone for good. When they looked at Asha's dead body, the young okapis all cried and nuzzled against her, before Lin Raju then said to them "Shhh, please don't cry, little ones. Your grandmother may be gone, but we're still going to get your parents back to all of you someday. I promise.", and when all the young okapis heard what the Mammophant said to them, they all turned to him with tears still forming and rolling down their eyes, and then they all ran up to him and then they started to bury their faces into his thick and large half-woolly body, and everyone were so overjoyed to see Lin Raju actually comforting and acting very kindly to all the young okapis after their beloved grandmother died, and even Applejack and Rainbow Dash couldn't help but to shed tears of joy at the extremely beautiful sight, which may probably happen only once, if not twice in a lifetime.
However, when all the young okapis finally stepped aback from Lin Raju to give him some personal space, then Rarity asked "Where should we take all these poor little okapis to now?", and then Starlight asked "Should we bring them all to Ponyville?", and then Fluttershy added "Or to my animal sanctuary?", but then two familiar but good male voices suddenly said out loud together "We have a better idea!", and when everyone heard the two voices and what did they both said, they turned to see Shujaa and Kenai running towards them, with all the herds (the gorillas, the Indian elephants, the Sumatran rhinos and the tapirs) and even Shadie and Kumba the good crocodiles were all following them close behind.
When they all stopped in front of Chloe, Aylene, Stephan and the others, Twilight then asked them in shock "What are you all doing here?", and then Queen Tukta said "We came here to say we're all sorry to know of Asha's death, but we also came here to say that we will mix our herds together to take care of all the young okapis until the adults will be reformed and a new good and wise leader will take place and succeed in where Asha have failed!", and then Mekong said "We've heard of what her so-called nephew Akeno did, and we all want you to know that we will care for all the young okapis! Together!", and then Angalifu added and vowed "When we see Akeno and his so-called friends, we will give them all the right punishment they all deserve!", and then Sariah added "That Akeno and his friends will eventually get exactly what they all deserve, and we all promise we'll crash them all for what they did to Asha!", and then Shadie said "That Akeno seems to have the nerve to kill his own aunt to become the new leader of her family against nature's laws!", and then Kumba added "But we promise you all that these five ferocious beasts won't stand up a chance the next time they will show up!".
When Lin Raju heard everything they all said, he said "I'm so grateful you all came here to help! If I would've tried to take care for all the young okapi children all by myself, Yigal, Gilad, Ezra and Black Heart surely would've found out and they would've killed them for their meat, and also would've fed them all to their Big cats they have! I'm happy to be helpful for only this once, but I promise I will sneak away and visit you all from time to time when I can!", and then Chloe said "Yes, I think it's time for us to go back home! Take care of all the young okapi children for us!", and then Kumba said "We will!", but then Bluebell asked the young female okapi whom she befriended one last thing before they're about to part ways - what's her name.
Then, the young female okapi said "I'm Opey, and I'm one of Asha's most beloved granddaughters! I'm truly loved and liked for the good okapi I am, and I will never be like that monster Akeno, or like any of his non-okapi friends!", and then Bluebell said to her "I'm so happy to hear that, Opey! But now It's time for us to part ways and go back to our respective homes!", and then Opey said to her "Goodbye, Bluebell! I will never forget you!", and then Bluebell said back "I will never forget you either, Opey! Goodbye!", and so Chloe, Aylene, Stephan, Bluebell, Shujaa, Kenai, the mane seven and Spike all said goodbye to Lin Raju and to all the other animals, and then they all went back to the royal castle, where Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all said goodbye to Ember, who flew back to the Dragon Lands where she officially lives and rules as the dragon lord.
When nighttime came, everyone returned back to their respective homes, and Chloe and Aylene went to eat some dinner before they both went to their bed and fell asleep, and while sleeping, they both (especially Chloe) hoped that one day they will meet Ember again and have a good time with her, and maybe even find where Akeno and the other evil animals took all the adult okapis to, or then maybe even spy on them until they will be all eventually captured and sent to serve a bunch of life sentences in Tartarus for everything bad they've all done. But for now, Chloe and Aylene were both enjoying sleeping together and also have each other for the sisterly friendship and family bonds and the support they always need for the most.
