After Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all became a trio of stone statues, the three are still alive only inside their minds, and right now they need to find someone inside their minds that will help them turn back to normal and escape the dark cave. Chloe, Aylene and Stephan are now standing together in a white and empty void, and then Stephan asked Chloe and Aylene "Chloe, Aylene, where are we now?", and Chloe answered "I'm not sure. Somewhere in a white and empty void, I guess.", and then she added "But at least we're still all together, that's what's important.", and then Aylene said "This is the second time I came here to this place, and it was also Chloe's third time she came here to this place as well.", and when Stephan heard what his two best friends said, he said back "Well, this makes it the first time I came to this unfamiliar place, isn't it?", and then he added "But we still need to find a way to get out of here.", and then Chloe said to him "Let's go.", and then Aylene added "Chloe will lead the way. She have been here twice before, so she probably knows where's the way out.", and then the three started to walk together in the white and empty void, and then at some point, the three started to wander around aimlessly while sticking close together, until they all found out the truth - they got lost.
However, just then, two male familiar voices suddenly said both Vhloe and Aylene's names and called for them, and when Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all turned around to the direction where the two voices came from, they saw Jack Williams (Chloe's long deceased grandfather) and Wild Berry (Aylene's long deceased father) standing next to each other and looking at them, before two kind smiles formed on and across their faces, and then Jack Williams said "It's nice to see you both again, my dear granddaughter whom I love for the most, and her Pegasus sister whom my best friend also loves for the most.", and this is when Chloe and Aylene both ran towards them and then they both jumped and hugged them, and then Chloe said "Oh, grandfather! I truly missed you too!", and then Aylene added "And I too missed you so much, my father!", and then Jack Williams gave to his granddaughter (Chloe) a kind chuckle, while Wild Berry giggled kindly to his own daughter (Aylene), before Jack Williams said "I'm happy you both came here to see both me and my friend, Wild Berry, again, because this time, we have here someone else who would like to meet your best friend of yours too.", and then both Jack Williams and Wild Berry turned and looked at Stephan for a moment and then Wild Berry said to him "Come with us, young centaur. There's someone here with us who is willing and waiting for to see you. Jack and I we both met her some time before and we three became friends.", and then Chloe, Aylene, Stephan, Jack and Wild Berry all heard hoofsteps approaching, and then Wild Berry said "There she is. Our dear best friend whom we both met some time ago - Helena.".
When Chloe, Aylene, Stephan, Jack and Wild Berry all turned in the direction where the hoofsteps came from, they saw an adult centauress who looked as gorgeous as Bluebell, but unlike her, she had the same red hair and tail color as Stephan's, she had beautiful blue eyes and she also had the lower body and legs of a gray mare, but she also had angel wings on her lower horse back and a golden halo above her head, which told the three friends that like Jack and Wild Berry, the centauress is also a ghost (or a spirit), but when Stephan saw how she looked like, he quickly recognized her and asked in shock "Mother?!", and then Helena (who is Stephan's mother) gave him a kind and warm smile and said back "Yes, Stephan. It's me.", and when Chloe and Aylene heard that Stephan called Helena his mother, the two sisters quickly turned to him and then Chloe asked "Did you just said that beautiful centauress is your mother?", and then Stephan said "Well, yes!", and then Aylene added "Well, I must say, that your mother looks as beautiful as Bluebell, isn't it?", and then Helena turned to look at the human and Pegasus sisters and then she asked them "Are you Chloe and Aylene?", and then Chloe said "Yes, we are!" and Aylene added "It is an honor for both of us to meet you!".
Then, Helena introduced herself and said "Hello there, I'm Helena, Stephan, Andy and Zoey's mother and Howard's husband. I've heard about you two, because my son told me about you after he snapped and ran away from you and from your other friends and adoptive families as well, back on that day.", and Chloe said "Well, it's nice to know that he had a talk with you before we found him again. You son is such a good friend, and only once his father almost tricked him into becoming evil, but he soon realized his father's deception and so he decided not to be like him anymore and not even listen to anything he has to say.", and then Aylene added "Stephan is indeed a sweetheart, and Bluebell likes him so much that she wants to be his wife in the future, and Chloe and I we'll be both very happy for both her and for your son when that will happen.", but then Stephan said "I truly like her as well, but we're still not mates yet! We're both still too young for that! And even so, I'm not sure she really wants me to be her husband in the future! There are so many males whom I'm pretty sure they want to have Bluebell!".
However, Helena said to her son "Don't say that, my dear son! Bluebell likes you more than any other male centaur she knew so far! I'm pretty sure the one centaur she chose for a future husband is you!", and when Stephan heard his mother saying that to him, he said "I don't know what to say!", but then she gave him a reassuring smile, and that was enough to help Stephan realize how much Bluebell likes him, and then Helena said "Now, my friends and I we're willing to show you everything you need to know about me, from the time Stephan was born to the time I was killed by that vicious Beartaur.", but then she quickly added "But first, I must get an answer from Stephan to know if it's okay for us to show you everything you need to know.", and then she turned back to Stephan and asked "Is it okay with you that Chloe and Aylene will be watching your past along with you and get to know what even you didn't know for all these years?", and then Stephan said willingly "Yes! Show us everything we need to know! I'm eager to know why you're gone because of that Beartaur! I think my father had something to do with it! He must be hiding a dirty secret from Andy, Zoey and I for all these years!", and then Helena said in agreement "And Howard definitely have been hiding from you something he didn't wanted to tell you and didn't wanted you to know!".
Then, Jack Williams said "And you all will! It's settled! Now let's go and see your and your mother's past life story, and then we'll all see the truth about your mother's death!", and then Wild Berry said and added "Let's go, every creature! Let's go and see everything!", and then the two and Helena all used their spirit magic and abilities to take themselves, Chloe, Aylene and Stephan to see Stephan's family's past life story.
After the six were engulfed by a white light, they all ended up in a big house that wasn't Yigal and his brothers', but Stephan quickly recognized it as his original home where he was first born, and just then, he, Chloe, Aylene, Jack, Wild Berry and Helena all went inside, and there they all saw an adult centauress, which was none other than Helena herself, years before she is killed by the Beartaur, but then they (particularly Chloe, Aylene and Stephan) all looked down at her arms to see a male baby centaur sleeping peacefully in her arms, and when Stephan looked very close at the baby centaur Helena was holding, he quickly recognized the baby centaur as himself when he was just a baby centaur, and Chloe and Aylene couldn't help but say "Awww! He's so cute!", and then Chloe asked "Is that Stephan, isn't he?", and then Helena nodded and said "Yes. It was me and Stephan when I was still alive and when my son is just a little baby.", but then Stephan said "That baby centaur is ME?! I'm so surprised! I don't remember how did I looked like when I was just a baby myself!".
However, baby Stephan suddenly started to cry out loud, and this caused Chloe, Aylene and the present (teenage) Stephan to quickly cover their ears at the baby centaur's crying, but then, however, Helena softly placed the tip of her finger on baby Stephan's tiny nose and then she very softly moved her finger up and down his nose so he can feel her soft and motherly touch, and this immediately made the baby centaur stop crying, and when he stopped crying, baby Stephan giggled as he looked up at his mother's kind and beautiful face, and then Helena started to sing a lullaby to him, and this slowly made the baby centaur yawn and eventually fall asleep again.
When baby Stephan was asleep again, Helena softly said to him "I love you, my precious baby. I want you to know and remember that I love you with all my heart.", and then she moved him up towards her own head and face and then she kissed him on the forehead, and Chloe and Aylene were both touched by that lovely moment between a mother and her baby, and Stephan had tears of joy welling up in his eyes as he couldn't believe it himself that this is the first known memory of his and his family's past life story. Then, Helena said to Stephan "Now I think it's time for us all to move to another good memory which I bet you'll all like.", and then she, Jack and Wild Berry used their spirit magic and abilities to engulf themselves, Chloe, Aylene and Stephan in the white light to move on to the next important memory and part in Stephan's family's past life story.
Meanwhile, back in Canterlot and in the royal castle, it was already morning, and Celestia and Luna are both already aware of Chloe and Aylene's sudden disappearance, which shocked them both before Celestia asked "Where did Chloe and Aylene go? Did they both ran away or something?", but then Luna said "I have no idea what happened to them, but I bet Akeno might've kidnapped them again!", but then Shujaa interrupted them and said "There's no okapi hoofprints in Chloe and Aylene's room, your majesties! Akeno wasn't there, and therefore he did not kidnapped the girls! They both must've had ran away from home during the night! I checked their room! I bet they both either ran away or got kidnapped together by something else that wasn't Akeno at all!".
However, just then, Andy and Zoey suddenly burst into the throne room and trotted up towards the Alicorn princesses while both baby centaurs are crying, who were both shocked to see them again, but then Celestia, Luna and Shujaa all saw that Stephan is nowhere to be seen around them, and therefore Shujaa suggested that Stephan is missing too (or got kidnapped during the night), which explains the centaur twins' sudden arrival in the royal castle (and in the throne room), and just then, Andy and Zoey jumped onto both Celestia and Luna and hugged them tightly around their necks and then buried their faces into the Alicorn mares' chest furs, thus shocking and surprising Celestia and Luna at first.
However, Celestia and Luna quickly shook their heads and snapped out of their shocked states, and then they looked down at the crying toddler centaurs, before Celestia and Luna briefly stroked at the tops of their heads and then pulled them away from themselves to look at them in the eyes, and then Celestia and Luna both saw the tears going down from Andy and Zoey's eyes, and then Celestia asked the twin centaurs "What's wrong little ones?", and she said it and spoke it in the softest of voices and waited for the toddler centaurs to give her an answer, but then Andy cried out loud "STEPHAN IS GONE!", and then Zoey added "HE RAN AWAY!", and then the toddler centaurs were about to cry again, only for Shujaa to come forward and wrap both of his arms around each of them, before he said "It's okay, little ones. We'll find your brother and the girls, they must be all together by now, it won't be easy to find them though, but if we send a message to Twilight Sparkle and to her friends (and to Kenai), as well as alert Thorax and Pharynx about the three's disappearance, I'm sure we'll be able to find them all and take them back home.".
When Andy and Zoey heard everything from what the albino orangutan just said to them, the toddler centaurs both sniffled and wiped away the tears in their eyes and they looked up at him, as he gave them both a kind and reassuring smile and then he said to them "We'll find them. All three of them.", and then Andy and Zoey hugged at each of his arms and cried together "Thank you!", and then Shujaa said "There, there, it's okay little ones. Your big brother and the girls haven't went too far away. We can still find where they are.", and then Luna interrupted and said "And we will.", and then Celestia added "Luna and I we'll send a message to Twilight Sparkle and to her friends so they will come to help us search and look for Chloe, Aylene and Stephan.", and then she said to Shujaa "Shujaa, you and the twins you'll go to alert and tell Thorax and Pharynx about Chloe, Aylene and Stephan's sudden disappearance so they can come along and help us too!", and then Shujaa said "Got it!" and then he turned back to Andy and Zoey and said "Andy, Zoey, you two you're coming with me to ask Thorax and Pharynx to help us find your big brother and the girls!", and then Andy said with a cute toddler smile "Yes!", and then Zoey added while showing cute puppy eyes "Take us along with you!", and then Shujaa yelled and declared "Let's go and find your big brother and the girls!", and then Andy and Zoey cried "Yay!", and then the twin toddler centaurs and the albino orangutan turned around and they all started to trot, gallop and run away from the throne room and from the royal castle and they started to travel together as fast as they could all the way to the changeling kingdom to alert Thorax and Pharynx and ask them to come and help finding Chloe, Aylene and Stephan.
Back with Chloe, Aylene and Stephan (who are all still stone statues), the three's minds were all watching along with Jack, Wild Berry and Helena a second memory that was part of Stephan's family's past life story. In the grassy and green environment they all arrived in, they all saw young Stephan, who is now five years old at the time, and they all saw trotting and galloping around and having fun while his mother Helena was watching him playing around in a distance, and young Stephan appeared to enjoy playing and having fun in the grassy and green environment his mother took him to, and the present Stephan couldn't help but shed a few tears of joy when he saw his younger self during the happy days of his family's past.
Then, Helena said to Stephan "This is when you're just five years old, and you showed me how playful you are for your young age at the time.", and Stephan said back to his mother "Yes, mother. I know. Even now I feel I'm a bit playful.", and then Jack said to him "Now it's time for us to go into another memory of your family's past life story.", and then Wild Bery added "We'll show you and the girls some more, but the last memories we know will be sad and really bad as well.", and then Helena said "Let's go forward and move on in time.", and then she, Jack and Wild Berry all used their spirit magic and abilities to take themselves, Chloe, Aylene and Stephan along with them forward in time to see some more of Stephan's family's past life story.
When the six arrived at the third memory of Stephan and his family's past life story, this is when bad things started happening too, and Chloe, Aylene and Stephan saw a young Stephan, who is now 8 years old at the time being challenged into a battle by an enormous bull (male) Rhinotaur with a scar on his left eye and a notch in the left rhinoceros ear, and then they all heard the scarred bull Rhinotaur yelling at young Stephan "You come over here and fight me like a real centaur!", but young refused and cried back "Please, go away! Leave me alone, you big bully!", but then the Rhinotaur started to charge towards him and he lowered his own head down so his rhinoceros horns will be stabbing young Stephan when he gets close enough, but then Helena came out of nowhere and jumped on the Rhinotaur in midway, and then she started to beat it on the upper human back with all her might in order to get his attention, but then the bull Rhinotaur grabbed by the neck and threw her off himself and yelled "What are you thinking you're doing?!", and then Helena said back with determination in her eyes "Protecting my son!", but then the Rhinotaur evilly laughed at her and said "Your son doesn't need you to protect him! His father even told me he wants to be just like Lord Tirek when he'll be fully grown!".
When Stephan saw this, he said "I didn't know I even had an encounter with a Rhinotaur before! Now I'm so surprised that I completely forgotten that memory!", and then Helena said to her son "Keep watching this, son. Then you'll see what happens next.", and then young Stephan cried "No! I don't want to be a monster! I don't want to steal anyone's magic or destroy or ruin anyone's life! I don't want to be like that Lord Tirek! Please, leave me alone!", but then the Rhinotaur yelled at him "Shut up your mouth, you little crybaby! Your father chose me to teach you how to really be strong! I'm your teacher here, and you must do as I say!", but then Helena said to the bull Rhinotaur "No, you monster! You leave my son alone!".
However, when the bull Rhinotaur heard what she said, he approached her angrily and said to her as she stood up and looked at him in the eyes "Alright, you tramp! You're asking for it, and now you're gonna get it!", and then he quickly wrapped his human arms and hands around Helena's neck and then he started to choke her right in front of her young son, and young Stephan said in shock and with terror in his eyes "Stop it! Let my mommy go!", but the Rhinotaur just ignored his cries and kept harassing Helena for daring to stand in his way, and then young Stephan jumped on the Rhinotaur's right side and yelled "You leave my mommy alone, you monster!", but then the Rhinotaur just threw him off himself and then he started to laugh evilly as he looked down at Stephan and seemed to enjoy his helplessness.
However, when Helena saw her young son being hurt by the Rhinotaur, she quickly got angered by the abuse the Rhinotaur just did on her child as she struggled and eventually managed to free herself from the Rhinotaur's grip, before she then turned tail and then she bucked him up in the jaw with her hind horse legs and hooves, thus knocking him out cold. When Chloe and Aylene both watched Helena bucking the Rhinotaur in the jaw and knocking out cold, Chloe said "This is a wow to the wow!", and then Aylene added "You're really tough enough to knock a bull Rhinotaur out cold, and just to save your son's life!", and then they watched as Helena turned to her young son, approached him and then she helped him back up and then young Stephan hugged his mother tightly and cried in pain from what just happened to him, but then Helena said to young Stephan as she tried to calm him down "Shhh, it's okay, my dear son. That monster will never hurt you ever again. I promise.", and then she gave him a reassuring smile before the two slowly turned around and then they started to walk away together back to their home.
Then, Helena said to Stephan as she turned to look at him again "This is the first time I risked myself and my own life to save you when you really needed me for the most.", and when Stephan heard what she said, he turned and looked at her in the eyes and asked "There's still some more memories you need you show us?", and then Helena said "Of course there are. They're just waiting for the girls and for you to see them.", and then Aylene added "Please, show us some more, Mrs. Helena! We wanna see how did you had Andy and Zoey!", and then Chloe added in agreement "You still haven't showed us that memory yet! I'll be glad and happy to see what that memory is really like!", and then Helena said back to them "Of course you're going to see that memory. In fact, that is actually the next memory of our family's past life story you're all going to see.", and then she quickly added "But there's no need to be formal with me. Just call me Helena. That's my name, and my husband, Howard, used to call me that before he turned on me and on the rest of my family.", and then Jack said "Let's go!" and then Wild Berry added "We're going to see what the next memory and important part in Stephan's family's past life story is going to be like!", and then he, Jack and Helena all used their spirit magic and abilities to take themselves, Chloe, Aylene and Stephan to the next important memory in Stephan's family's past life story.
Meanwhile, Shujaa, Andy and Zoey returned to the royal castle with Thorax and Pharynx, while the mane seven (and Kenai) all arrived at the royal castle at the same time, but they're not the only ones to come and help - Bluebell also came to the royal castle to help everypony and every creature in their searching for Chloe, Aylene and Stephan, and so once they're all ready to go, Celestia, Luna, Shujaa, Kenai, Bluebell, the twins, the mane seven, Thorax and Pharynx all left the royal castle and they all started to search together for Chloe, Aylene and Stephan everywhere.
Meanwhile, Chloe, Aylene and Stephan were all watching together and alongside Jack, Wild Berry and Helena another memory, which was in this case - the memory showing a 10 years old young Stephan watching, reacting and greeting Andy and Zoey when they're both first born (when they're just newborns), and when young Stephan saw his two new little siblings after they're born, he couldn't help but smiling down at them and trying to reach his right hand out for them so they can touch and tap at his hand, and that's exactly what happened, and Helena was joyed to see her eldest son bonding with the newborn twins shortly after they're born, and then young Stephan said "Who are two cute little babies? Oh, you two! Yes, you both are!" and then he added "And I'm glad and proud to be your big brother!", and present Stephan said "I remember that's exactly what I did when Andy and Zoey were born! I was only 10 years old at the time! I'm so happy to watch myself doing that to my little siblings whom I love and like so much ever since they're first born!".
However, a little young Stephan and Helena did knew is that Howard is watching them and the twins with an evil smile creeping on his face, before he then said to himself as he eyed both Stephan and the twins "Now I've got to train three children in order to succeed in where Lord Tirek have failed!", and then he laughed evilly to himself as the memory finished and the environment rippled back into the white and empty void. Then, Helena asked Stephan and the girls "Would you like us to stop here?", but then Stephan said "No! Show us everything! I really want to know the real reason to why you're gone!", and then Chloe added "Please, show us everything!", and then Aylene said in agreement "We're all old enough to watch horrible things! Each of us we're 13 years old! We all can definitely handle it!", and then Helena sighed heavily and said "As you all wish.", and then she, Jack and Wild Berry all used their spirit magic and abilities to take themselves, Chloe, Aylene and Stephan to the last two important memories of Stephan's family's past life story.
The next environment showed Stephan's family's current home in the Badlands, and there Stephan's family (except for Howard) is shown to be feeling miserable - Helena hates her new unfavorable home in the Badlands, and young Stephan (who is now 11 years old at the time) and the twins (who are both a year old each at the time) are feeling lots of pain and harassment from their father, who is the only one who managed to adapt to his family's new unfavorable home, and he's willing to twist Stephan and the twins and force them all into becoming evil and succeed in Tirek's evilness, much to Helena's disbelief when she finally saw her husband's true colors, and so she approached her husband and said to him "Howard?", and then he turned to her and asked "What's wrong, my dear Helena?", and then Helena said "We're leaving this dreadful and unfavorable home!".
When Howard heard what she said, he suddenly yelled at her in anger "WHAT?! WHY?!", and then Helena explained "Because I cannot adapt to this almost lifeless area! Neither Stephan and the twins can!", and then she added "We're leaving this horrible and miserable place by next week! No one can adapt to live here in the Badlands!", but then Howard yelled "Nonsense! I managed to adapt to this place because I'm strong enough!", and then he added and mocked Helena in the face "You're just too weak in comparison to me!", but then Helena slapped him across the face and cried "I'm not weak! And I'm done with this unfavorable place! Even Stephan and the twins don't like it here! There's almost no food, almost no water, and too much heat in this area!", and then she declared "We cannot stay in here!", but then Howard slapped her back twice across the face and then he yelled at her "Listen to me, you tramp! Maybe I wouldn't have to take us all to live in this unfavorable place here in the Badlands if Stephan and the twins would quit loving your kind, loving and motherly nature and will start giving me some attention!".
Then, Helena raised an eyebrow while she gave Howard a scowl and then she asked him "What do you even mean 'kind, loving and motherly nature', Howard?", and then Howard explained "I will tell what do I mean by that, Helena! If they will start obeying my orders and will follow in respect in Lord Tirek's hoofprints, I would make them powerful enough to steal magic and kill a massive bull Rhinotaur all by themselves!", but then Helena said "I will not let you do that to my sweet children, you bastard! All you care is more about how you feel yourself and less about how my children and I we've been feeling currently! If you would just stop following in Lord Tirek's hoofprints and would start being nice, friendly and kind to both ponies and non-ponies, then my children and I we'll all show you some love!".
However, Howard said back to her with an equal scowl "How dare you?! How dare you tell me what I should or shouldn't do in my life?! Huh?!", but then Helena said "I just want you to be a good centaur! Lord Tirek was unhealthy when he almost destroyed all of Equestria, and therefore I'm happy he's banished to Tartarus for his inexcusable actions!", but then Howard said "Yeah! And soon enough, your children will be serving together a life sentence in Tartarus next to him! Maybe that way they will all learn to listen to their own father!", but then Helena shook her head in disbelief and said "I can't believe you just said that! How can you say such horrible on my precious Stephan and on the twins like that?", and then Howard said back "If they will respect me and follow in Lord Tirek's hoofprints, they will NOT be banished to Tartarus, but will end up becoming the greatest rulers of all of Equestria!".
Helena just crossed her arms and said to her evil husband "So that's it? You want my precious little ones to be among the greatest villains in all of Equestria, don't you?", and then she added "Well, you know what? We're leaving this horrible place WITHOUT YOU!" she raised her voice and gave Howard a warning, thus shocking but also angering him at the same time, before he then yelled "Excuse me?! What did you just said?!", and then Helena said back "You heard me right, Howard - we're leaving without you to find a better place where we can live properly, and maybe I will find a better centaur who can really make me feel safe and better than ever before, and ever since I've met you and spent the best years of my life stuck in a loveless marriage with you!".
Then, Helena turned tail and said to Howard without turning back to face him "It's all up to you now, Howard!", and then she added "If you start becoming a good centaur and start to show some love, friendship and respect to both ponies and non-ponies, I'll be glad to stay with you and continue to be your wife, but if you don't and I hear from others that you're still following in Lord Tirek's hoofprints, and that you're also still willing to force Stephan and the twins to become evil against their will, then I promise you, Howard - you won't see Stephan, the twins or me ever again!", and then Helena angrily stormed out from Howard's room and then she closed and shut the door behind herself, leaving Howard alone to let him think about what he should do that it's for his own good.
However, Howard started to get red and angry in the face before he then angrily yelled "NOOOOOOOOO!", and then he added "We'll see about that, you tramp! If I can't have your kids, neither YOU can!", and then the environment rippled back to the white and empty void once again, and then Helena turned to Chloe, Aylene and Stephan and asked "Maybe you three should reconsider this? Are you sure you three want to watch this until the very end?", and then Stephan said stubbornly "Yes, mother! Please, show us all the rest!", and then Jack sighed heavily and said to him and to the girls "You're all asking for it, and now you're all going to see the last important memory and part of your family's past life story.", and then he, Helena and Wild Berry all used their spirit magic and abilities once again to take themselves, Chloe, Aylene and Stephan along with them to show them all the most tragic, saddest and latest part of Stephan's family's past life story.
Chloe, Aylene, Stephan, Jack, Wild Berry and Helena all arrived at an unfamiliar environment with high cliffs, some grass around and a large cave that appeared in the background, and just then, they saw young Stephan, the twins and their mother (Helena) all traveling together through the unfamiliar area, but Howard is nowhere to be seen, but there was still a much worse danger sleeping nearby - a large adult male Beartaur, which was actually sleeping inside the large cave in the background of the environment, not too far away.
Then, young Stephan said "I'm so glad we chose to run away from dad, mom! He won't stop harassing us in order to make us useful for him, just to avenge that Lord Tirek!", and then Helena said to him "It's okay, Stephan. He'll eventually get over it and will make a new family for himself that will do as he says instead of us. I will also a good centaur as my new husband so you can a good stepfather who will be looking out for you and watching your backs for you. Everything's going to be okay, I promise.". However, a little they all knew is that Howard actually followed them not too far behind, and he came up with a cruel and heartless plan to get rid of Helena so he can have Stephan and the twins all for himself.
Then, the large adult male Beartaur suddenly woke up from his sleep and saw Helena and her children all traveling together through the area, which was in fact his territory, and when the Beartaur saw Stephan and the twins all following behind their mother and in tow, the Beartaur licked his lips and said hungrily "Breakfast!", and then he got up on his four large grizzly bear feet and then he came out of his cave and he started to run and charge towards Helena and her children. However, Helena heard him coming and so she turned around to see the Beartaur charging towards her and also towards her children, and then she turned to Stephan and to the twins and said to them "Run, my children! Run! Run for your lives! A Beartaur is coming!", and when Stephan and the twins turned around to see the Beartaur running and charging towards them, Stephan said to the twins "Andy, Zoey, we gotta run away now!", and then the four centaurs all started to trot really fast and they also galloped as fast as they all could in order to escape the Beartaur, but no matter what they did, the Beartaur kept gaining on them and he came even closer to Helena, Stephan and the twins with each passing second.
Just then, Zoey tripped over a rock and this when the Beartaur received and got his chance to kill the baby centauress with one swipe of his massive grizzly bear paws, but when Helena turned around to see her baby daughter being threatened by the Beartaur, she quickly came back alone to save Zoey from the Beartaur, and this when the Beartaur stood upright onto his hinder bear legs and then he was about to swipe and maul down at the helpless baby centauress, but then Helena quickly grabbed and threw a rock which scratched and wounded his lower bear chest and torso, thus causing the Beartaur to roar in pain, and then she quickly trotted up towards Zoey, picked her up in her arms and then she turned to trot and gallop away from the Beartaur, and then Helena started to gallop away while carrying Zoey in her arms, but then the Beartaur recovered from the attack and so he resumed his chase after the centaurs.
Then, Helena came up with a plan to save her children from getting killed by the Beartaur, and so when she got close enough to Stephan, she quickly gave and handed Zoey over to him so he can carry her, and then she said to him "Stephan, take the twins with you to safety! Go to the top of the nearest cliff! There you'll all be safe!", but then Stephan asked her "What? But what about you, mother?", and then Helena cried "You just climb up to the top of the cliff! I'll catch with you three once I deal with that monster!", and then she quickly turned around and charged back towards the Beartaur, while Stephan and the twins all started to climb up the nearest cliff.
Then, Helena and the Beartaur started to fight and attack each other, and Stephan and the twins all watched her from above and they're all shocked and horrified to see the Beartaur's massive size and grizzly bear paws, which were enough to kill Helena in just one swipe to the head, but Helena fought with all her might in order to take down and kill the Beartaur first so he won't mean her or her children any harm, but then the Beartaur managed to swipe at her flank and wound her, thus forcing her to flee before she gets even more weakened by more of the Beartaur's attacks, and then she quickly ran towards another nearby cliff and then she started to climb up on it in order to reach the top and escape the Beartaur, but once near the top, the Beartaur managed to jump on Helena and then he nailed his long and sharp claws onto both sides of her flank, but despite the sharp pain she felt, she still continued to climb up the cliff while carrying the massive male Beartaur along with her, while Stephan and the twins all watched her struggling to climb up from the cliff which the three have already climbed up and onto, before they all went to the top of the cliff to meet their mother up there.
However, when Helena managed to set and get her horse forelegs and hooves onto the top and onto the edge of the cliff while still struggling against the Beartaur's tough and firm grip, she then looked up to see Howard standing on top of the cliff right in front of her with a scowl on his face, and this made the centauress cry "Howard! My husband! Help me!", and she struggled to pull herself up because the Beartaur still held onto both sides of her flank with his massive bear forepaws, but instead of helping her, Howard angrily reached out for her and he managed to grab her by the neck with both of his arms and hands, thus choking her briefly as he then pulled Helena close to look at her in the face and eyes, before an evil smile replaced his angry scowl, and then Howard said with an evil tone "Goodbye, Helena! Your children are now mine, ALL mine! Goodbye, my traitorous pest!", and then he threw her and the Beartaur off the edge of the cliff, and then two fell back to the ground with the Beartaur landing on top of Helena's back, before he then pulled her up and finished her off by snapping her neck with his teeth, and then he stood upright onto his hind bear legs and roared triumphantly over his kill, like an ordinary bear standing upright and roaring over his kill.
When Stephan and the twins saw the Beartaur killing their mother right in front of their eyes, Stephan cried out loud and yelled "NOOOOOOOOO!", and when the Beartaur heard Stephan's screaming and yelling, he turned to look up at him and at the twins, but then he quickly turned to escape, leaving Helena's body behind on the ground and motionless. Stephan and the twins quickly descended back to the bottom of the cliff, and then they ran towards their mother, but it was too late - Helena is gone forever. Stephan couldn't believe that his mother is now gone forever, and he lowered down onto his haunches and hugged at her body as tears started to form and roll down his eyes, and for addition, the twins were also crying out loud as well, and they were both hugging at Helena's body next to Stephan, and all three centaurs cried and shed lots of tears over the loss of their mother.
Then, however, about five minutes since their mother was killed by the Beartaur, Stephan suddenly felt a hand touching roughly at his back and shoulder, and when Stephan and the twins turned, they saw their father looking down at them with a disappointed look on his face. Then, Howard said and asked in a low and disappointed tone "Andy, Zoey, Stephan, what have you all done?", but then Stephan said while still shaking with sobs "It was, it was a Beartaur, and she tried to save us. It was an accident. We didn't mean for it to happen.", and then Howard pulled Stephan to look at him in the eyes and said "Of course. Of course you didn't. No one ever means for these things to happen. But your mom is dead. And if it weren't for you three, she'd still ne alive.", and then Stephan sniffled and asked his father "What are we gonna do?", and then Howard said in an evil and scary tone "Come. Come with me, and I will make you all powerful.", and then he added "Let's go home.", and then he started to walk away, and Stephan and the twins reluctantly followed behind him, but not before Stephan said goodbye to his mother one last time, and then he finally turned to go back home with his father, and then the environment rippled back to the white and empty void as Stephan's family's past life story is finally over.
When Stephan saw the truth behind his mother's death which caused her to get herself killed by the ferocious Beartaur, the teenage male centaur had tears of pain and sadness forming and rolling down his eyes as he couldn't believe that his father was the real cause for his mother's death, and then he burst into tears and covered his own face in his hands as he started to cry in sadness and pain when he found out the truth, but then he felt a hand and a hoof touching and stroking softly and kindly at both of his shoulders, and when he uncovered his face and look to both of his sides, he saw Chloe and Aylene touching and stroking at both of his shoulders in an attempt to comfort him, while both sisters also had tears forming and rolling down their eyes, for they too have also saw everything that happened to his mother.
Then, Helena said to Stephan "Now you see the truth, my dear Stephan. My own husband was been the one who caused my death all along.", and then she added "Maybe he was right - maybe I am the reason to why you, Andy and Zoey you're all suffering for the most.", but then Stephan went up to her and hugged at her spirit and cried "No! You're not the reason why my little siblings and we're been suffering for the most! It's all father's fault! He's the one who caused and helped that Beartaur to kill you! When I tell everyone the truth and they all hear this, my father will mean us harm no more!", and then Jack said to him "And we know you will, Stephan.", and then Wild Berry added "For we three all know you're very much unlike that monster who is your father.", and then Helena said "And we all know this because you and the twins you all have big hearts. And we all love you and your friends because of the good centaur, human and Pegasus you're all are.", and when Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all heard what Jack, Wild Berry and Helena all said, Stephan sniffled as he pulled away from his mother and then he said to her as he wiped the tears in his eyes "Well, thanks! Thank you, mother! Thank you for showing us everything we all needed to know!".
Then, Jack said "But now, I'm afraid it's time for the three of us to go.", and then Wild Berry added "We've done our spiritual job for now.", and then Helena said in agreement "You're both right, it's time for us to go.", but then Stephan cried "What? Wait, don't go! Don't leave the three of us alone!", and then Aylene added "Yes! I don't want you to leave me alone again!", and then Chloe added "Please don't go away! We all need you!", but then Jack said back with a reassuring smile "Don't say that, young guys. You'll never be alone. We'll always be with you three.", and then he placed a hand on the center of Chloe's chest and added "Here, in your hearts.", and then Wild Berry said "Now we have to go.", and then Helena added "Take care of each other and of yourselves now. Goodbye.", and then the human male, the Pegasus stallion and the centauress all suddenly started to slowly fade away all together right in front of Chloe, Aylene and Stephan's eyes.
However, when Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all watched their beloved human grandfather, Pegasus father and centaur mother all slowly fading away and disappearing into thin air, Chloe cried "No, wait! Grandfather! Don't leave me!", and then Aylene added "No, wait! Father! Don't leave me!", and then Stephan cried "No, wait! Mother! Please, don't leave me!", but it was too late as Jack, Wild Berry and Helena all disappeared together into thin air, thus leaving Chloe, Aylene and Stephan alone with only each other in the white and empty void, but then a few moments later, a white light started to engulf and envelope all three friends and then they all suddenly disappeared all together from the white and empty void as well.
Then, following their sudden disappearance from the white and empty void, Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all found both each other and themselves under the tree in the meadow near the Everfree Forest, but then they also found out that they're no longer stone statues anymore and that they all have returned back to normal, and then Chloe, Aylene and Stephan said out loud all together when they realized their shared nightmare and their journey through time were all over "Yay! We're almost home!", and then just then, the three heard lots of both female and male voices calling out for them, and when Chloe, Aylene and Stephan looked away and to the horizon, the three saw Celestia, Luna, Thorax, Pharynx, Shujaa, Kenai, Andy and Zoey, the mane seven and even Bluebell were all calling out for them, and so Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all ran, trotted and galloped as fast as they could towards everyone they know, love and like for the most, and when everyonw saw the three of them coming towards them, they all ran, trotted, galloped and even flew to meet and reunite with them.
When they got reunited with one another, Chloe jumped on Celestia and then she hugged her around her neck and so they both cried and shed tears of joy, and so did Aylene and Thorax when the Pegasus jumped on the good changeling king and then she hugged him around his neck, and Stephan went up to Bluebell and then he ended up hugging her tightly and both teenage centaurs shed tears of joy, and Andy and Zoey were also very happy that just like Chloe, Aylene, Stephan, Celestia, Thorax and Bluebell, they too shed tears of joy over the reunion of Chloe, Aylene and Stephan with them and with everyone else, but then they all knew they have to say goodbye to each other when they realized that it's for everyone to return back to their respective homes, and when everyone said goodbye to each other, Chloe, Aylene, Celestia, Luna and Shujaa all went back home to Canterlot and to the royal castle, while Stephan, Andy and Zoey all went back to their own home in Ponyville.
When nighttime came, Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all fell asleep in their respective homes, and they also hoped that next day, they all will be able to tell Celestia and Luna as well as to everyone else what did they actually recently saw and learned from Stephan's family's past life story, and also about the real truth behind Helena's (Stephan's mother's) death when it turned out to be that Howard is actually the one caused her death at the hands (or paws) of the ferocious male Beartaur, and they also hoped that they will also be able to tell everyone about Zenobia and Clayton, who both started abusing and bullying them into respecting and worshipping them for no good reason, only to later become best friends with Tah the Rhinotauress, who dared to risk her own life to save theirs from harm's way, even though she's pregnant and would have to care for her own child instead of them when the child will be born. For now, Chloe, Aylene and Stephan were all sleeping peacefully in their beds and in their respective homes, safely.
