The next morning, Stephan and the twins woke up and went to eat some breakfast, and Stephan said before he started eating his breakfast "Today, Chloe, Aylene and I we're going to tell everyone we know and love for the most about what happened to us. About the shared horrible nightmare we had together, about Zenobia and Clayton kidnapping us in order to turn us all into stone, but most importantly, I want to tell what my friends and I we all found out about the real truth behind my mother's death, as well as about our new best friend, Tah, who saved our lives from drowning and from these Zenobia and Clayton.".
Later, when Stephan and the twins finished eating their breakfast, the three centaurs suddenly heard knocking on the door, and so he went up to the door to answer, but when he opened the door, Stephan was shocked and surprised to see a royal chariot from the royal castle with some Pegasi royal guards leading it from its front standing just outside his home. Then, a male Pegasus (a stallion) royal guard approached Stephan and asked "Are you Stephan the centaur?", and then Stephan said "Yes, Sir. It's me.", and then he added and asked "What's with that royal chariot standing outside my home?", and then the Pegasus royal guard gave Stephan a letter from Princess Celestia which tells the reason why the royal chariot is standing outside his home and said "Please, read this letter, Stephan. It's from Princess Celestia.".
Stephan picked the letter in his hands and unfolded it to see what it says.
The letter said
Dear Stephan,
I want you to come here to the royal castle to hear from you your side in what exactly happened to you and to Chloe and Aylene next night. I also want to ask you a few questions about what or who is threatening and harassing you three behind your backs.
Please, come to the royal castle, Stephan. Luna and I we'd like to hear from you your side in what exactly happened to you three the day and night before. P.S. There are three tickets for both you and for the twins so you can pay for the ride and come to meet us.
By the way, Bluebell is also here with us waiting for you to come, and we all want to hear from you, as well as from Chloe and Aylene about what exactly happened to you three during both yesterday and last night. Luna and I we both promise we will help you deal with your new bad situation you, Chloe and Aylene got into.
Yours sincerely,
Princess Celestia
When Stephan finished reading the letter from Celestia, tears of joy formed in his eyes before he sniffled and then said "Our last trouble will be over soon!", and then he turned and called for Andy and Zoey (the twins) to come out of their house, and then he gave them two of the three tickets while he took the third for himself, and then all three centaurs gave the three tickets to the Pegasus stallion (who is the royal who gave Stephan the letter from Celestia) so they can oay for the ride from home to the royal castle, and once they all paid, the royal guard moved out of their way and said "Now you three can go aboard. Have a good ride.", and then he walked away from the centaurs and ended up climbing up and then sitting down in front of the royal chariot just behind the other Pegasi royal guards, and then Stephan and the twins all climbed up and managed to aboard and get inside the royal chariot, and then they all took three sits next to each other and sat down on them next to each other, and then the Pegasi royal guards all took off and they all started to fly up and away from Stephan's home, and then they all flew towards Canterlot and to the royal castle while carrying and taking Stephan and the twins along with them, and Stephan felt a sign of relief that once he tells Celestia and Luna what happened to him and to the girls, the inseparable threesome of best friends will have their two newest enemies (Zenobia and Clayton) who recently started to threaten and harass them all banished away from their own families (Queen Thandi's Spotted hyena family and King Upali's Atlas bear family) for good.
Later, when Stephan and the twins arrived at the royal castle, they went out and off the royal chariot and went inside to meet Chloe, Aylene, Bluebell and the princesses. When the three arrived at and entered the throne room, the three centaurs saw Chloe, Aylene, Bluebell, Shujaa, Kenai, the mane seven, Celestia and Luna, who are all standing (with Celestia and Luna sitting down on their thrones) ahead of them, and so Stephan and the twins all started to approach them all, and then Celestia said as she stood up from her throne and looked down at the three centaurs "Stephan, we're so glad you came here as we asked you to.", and then Luna added as she too stood up from her own throne and looked down at them "We want to ask you, Chloe and Aylene a few questions.", and then Stephan said back in response as he and the twins eventually stopped next to Chloe and Aylene "Okay, go ahead. You can start ask me, Chloe and Aylene the questions you wanted to ask us about, right now.".
Then, Celestia and Luna both climbed down from their thrones and approached Chloe, Aylene, Stephan and the twins, and when they said stopped right in front of them, Celestia then said "We've all found out and learned that you three you're being threatened and harassed by some two animals.", and then Stephan asked her "Wait, how do you all know that?", and then Luna said as she used her magic to hold and bring both threatening letters forward to show to Chloe, Aylene and Stephan, who all gasped together in shock, and then Luna added "We've all found out and learned that you three you're being threatened and harassed by some two animals named Zenobia and Clayton.", and then Celestia asked "Who were these two? What kinds of animals are they?", and then Bluebell asked and suggested the inseparable threesome "Were they gorillas like Sayla, or maybe baboons? Maybe they were both okapis like Akeno or something?", but then Stephan answered and explained "No, Zenobia is a female Spotted hyena from Queen Thandi's Spotted hyena family, and her best friend and partner, Clayton is a male Atlas bear from King Upali's Atlas bear family. These two dared to mean us harm and they even dared to disobey their respective rulers in front of their respective families in order to make us three respect and worship the both of them.".
When they all heard what Stephan just said about Zenobia and Clayton, Celestia, Luna, Bluebell, Shujaa, Kenai, the mane seven and even the twins all gasped in shock, and then Aylene suddenly added and explained "Lin Raju took us to meet the Spotted hyenas and the Atlas bears and that was the end result. But, however, after we ran away from the Spotted hyenas and from their neighbors, the Atlas bears, we all got approached by Gilad, and so he managed to persuade us to follow him to his and his family's home, which was also my former mother's home as well, and there we met a new baby human boy that Yigal have recently found and took in as his new adopted baby son, and the baby boy's name was Dan Ashmor.".
But then Aylene quickly added "But, however, we found out that the baby human boy is actually evil just like Yigal, Gilad, Ezra and my former mother, and when he managed to scare us with his evil baby smiles, we handed (or hoofed) him over to one another in turns, before we quickly placed him back down on the solid floor, and then we all turned to escape, but then we found out that the entrance and exit door is locked, so we tried to pry the door open before it's too late, but we got knocked out cold by my former mother and by the evil brothers, and then they took and dragged us out of their home and took us to a big water pit to drown us while we're all unconscious, but after they tied us all up in ropes so we couldn't move and also tied us all up to a rock which stood submerged in the middle of the water pit to make sure we all drown and then left us alone to drown, we're all rescued and we're all brought to safety by an adult Rhinotauress named Tah, who much unlike most of her kind, she's actually a good Rhinotauress, and what's more to tell about her is that she even told us after she saved us and then told us about her own past, she willingly told us that she's also pregnant and that she's expecting her first child to be born very soon.".
When everyone heard what Aylene said about the new evil baby human boy who arrived in Equestria and got adopted by the evil brothers and Black Heart, but also when they all heard Aylene mentioning Tah the good (and pregnant) Rhinotauress, they all (minus Chloe and Stephan) all gasped in shock once again, and then Chloe said "And then, when we're about to leave the Everfree Forest, Zenobia and Clayton both came out of nowhere and blocked our path in order to prevent us from leaving the Everfree Forest and from getting back home, and then they started to threaten and harass the three of us some more in order to make us respect and worship them, but then Tah stepped in the way and willingly dared to fight them, and even though she was pregnant, she still successfully managed to knock them both out cold all by herself and save our lives once again, and then we thanked her for saving our lives twice on that same day before said goodbye to her and left the Everfree Forest and returned back to our homes.".
When everyone heard what Chloe said as well, they all (minus Aylene and Stephan) had their jaws dropped, before Bluebell then shook her head and said "That Tah whom you just mentioned and spoke of must be real strong if you said she managed to save your lives twice on the same day. I'll be so glad to meet her, or maybe even see if she already have birthed her new baby. It makes me so excited!", and then Stephan said "Yes, we know, but I want to tell you all the reason why we 'ran away' from our homes.", and then he added and explained "The truth is that even after Tah saved our lives, we received threatening letters from both Zenobia and Clayton, and we soon realized that they're both going to continue to do to us lots of pain and torture as much as they still want!", and then he added "And so, last night we all had a shared nightmare of having all of you harassing and tormenting the three of us, but at the time, Zenobia and Clayton managed to kidnap us while we're still having the shared nightmare all together, and so they both dragged us all the way to the dark cave in the Everfree Forest, where we finally snapped awake from our shared nightmare to find each other and ourselves close nearby to one another, but then we also found that Zenobia and Clayton have both managed to kidnap us, and then they insulted and mocked us for not respecting and/or worshipping them, before they left us alone to become petrified by a bunch of five Cockatrices!".
When everyone heard everything from what Stephan just said, they all (except for Chloe and Aylene) gasped in shock again, before Stephan then quickly added "But there's just one more important I have to tell you we've been through as well. When the three of us we're all petrified, our minds met Jack Williams (Chloe's grandfather), Wild Berry (Aylene's father), and my own mother (Helena), and then the three started to show us my and my family's memories from our past life story which occurred and happened before I met Chloe and Aylene, but then we also found out the truth about who's really responsible for my mother, Helena's death!".
When Bluebell heard what Stephan said, the teenage winged centauress then asked him "What do you mean?", and then she added "I thought you said your mother was been killed by a Beartaur!", but then Stephan said "Yes, a Beartaur did killed my beloved mother, but now, Chloe, Aylene and I we all know who's really responsible for her death behind the Beartaur's doings!", and then Bluebell asked him "Then who caused and helped the Beartaur to kill your mother?", and then Stephan cried "My father did it! He helped and allowed the Beartaur kill my mother, Helena in front of my eyes, but I couldn't see him throwing her and the Beartaur back down from the top of the cliff until we watched everything all over again ourselves!", and then he quickly closed his eyes and turned his head away as he felt tears of pain and sadness forming and threatening to escape his eyes, and everyone (except for Chloe and Aylene) all gasped in shock and horror to realize that Howard (Stephan's father) is in fact the one responsible for Helena's death at the paws and hands of the Beartaur.
Then, Andy and Zoey both felt tears forming and rolling down their own eyes as well and then they both started to cry in sadness and sorrow when they finally got to know the truth from their big brother about their mother's death by their evil father and not only by the Beartaur, and even Stephan was struggling to shake away the traumatic pain, but they aren't the only ones who were sad - Bluebell, Shujaa, Kenai, the mane seven and even Celestia and Luna all started to shed tears from learning the real truth about Stephan's mother's death at the paws and hands of both the Beartaur and Howard.
Among everyone, even Rainbow Dash and Applejack were both unable to hold back their tears from hearing the real and bitter truth about Helena's death at the paws and hands of both the Beartaur and her own husband. However, then, Andy and Zoey suddenly felt a hand and a hoof touching and stroking softly at the tops of their heads, and when they opened up their eyes and looked up, they saw Chloe and Aylene stroking them with tears threatening to escape their own eyes as well, before the two sisters quickly managed to wipe the tears away from their own eyes as they tried to give soft and kind smiles to the two toddler centaurs and tried to calm them down and comfort them.
Then, when everyone finally stopped crying and shed tears and they all finally calmed down, Celestia said "I can't believe this!", and then Luna added with anger slowly building inside her "How could that awful beast for a father do such thing to his own wife?!", and then Bluebell cried "I always suspected that Howard will dare to kill a centauress from his own kind! Now I see I was right about my own suspicions all along!", and then Shujaa said "When I see that beast for a centaur, I'm just going to break his neck!", and then Kenai added "Me too! I'll be really glad to help you out by tearing from limb to limb!", and then Twilight said "That centaur needs a long and proper punishment for doing such inexcusable crimes against all of his own family, just to avenge that Lord Tirek!", and then Starlight added suggested "A life sentence in Tartarus will be perfect and also strong enough to prevent him from getting to do any more contact with his own children and cause then anu more troubles!", and then Rainbow Dash said "He deserves to be bucked a hundred and twenty times in the face for killing his very own wife in order to gain more control and manipulate his own children into becoming evil against their own will!".
However, Applejack then interrupted and said "But first, let's go talk to these Queen Thandi and King Upali and tell them to deal with Zenobia and Clayton!", and then Rarity said to her "You're right! Since they're closer to harm Chloe, Aylene and Stephan even more than that monster centaur, Howard, we should go talk to their respective leaders and ask them to banish these no good lady and her ruffian partner away from their families for threatening Chloe, Aylene and Stephan in order to force them all to respect and worship them for no good reason at all!", and then Fluttershy said "I will not hesitate to use my infamous stare on these two bullies once I get to see them for the first time!", and then Pinkie Pie added "And I would like to shoot these two big bad mean meanie pants out of my party cannon!", and then Celestia said "Let's go to the Everfree Forest to talk to Queen Thandi and Kind Upali, right now!", and then Luna added "Yes, we should all go talk to them right away!", and then Bluebell said "But first, let's inform Thorax and Pharynx about Chloe, Aylene and Stephan being threatened, and also to come too so they can also talk to Queen Thandi and King Upali about Zenobia and Clayton's deception!".
Then, Celestia, Luna and the mane seven all went with some royal guards to the Everfree Forest, while Bluebell, Shujaa, Kenai and the twins were tasked to go to the changeling kingdom to inform Thorax and Pharynx about the recent threatening and harassment of Chloe, Aylene and Stephan by Zenobia and Clayton, so the changeling kings can come, join and help too in talking to Queen Thandi and King Upali and persuading them to banish Zenobia and Clayton away from their respective families for their recent crimes, and as for Chloe, Aylene and Stephan, they all stayed all alone just the three of them in the royal castle with only each other around, and the inseparable threesome hoped that Celestia, Luna and the rest will come out successful and they also hoped that Zenobia and Clayton will be banished away from their own and respective families for messing up with all three of them for fun, and also for forcing them all to respect and worship the both of them against their will.
Later, Celestia, Luna, the mane seven, the twins, Bluebell, Shujaa, Kenai, Thorax and Pharynx all entered the Everfree Forest all together (after Shujaa, Kenai, Bluebell and the twins asked and persuaded Thorax and Pharynx to come along and help), and they all started to search for Queen Thandi, King Upali and their respective Spotted hyena and Atlas bear families, and it didn't took very long before they all eventually managed to find them, and once they all found them, the Spotted hyenas and the Atlas all came to greet and welcome their new visitors who came to their home to meet their leaders, and when Queen Thandi and King Upali also approached, greeted and welcomed the Alicorns, changelings, centaurs, seven mares, albino orangutan and brown panda, as well as the royal guards and the changelings who also came along with them, this is when Celestia, Luna, Thorax, Pharynx and Bluebell all decided to have a talk with the both of them about what Zenobia and Clayton both have been doing to Chloe, Aylene and Stephan very recently.
After they all explained and told Queen Thandi and King Upali about Zenobia and Clayton's deception, and also about the way they were both keeping treating Chloe, Aylene and Stephan (so badly) in order to make and force the threesome to respect and worship them for no good reason at all, the Spotted hyena queen and the Atlas bear king both gasped in shock, as well as all their subjects, friends and family members did the same thing as their respective leaders just did, and then Queen Thandi said "I'm so sorry to hear that my Zenobia is treating Chloe, Aylene like punching bags for no reasons!", and then King Upali added "And I'm sorry to hear that my Clayton is also willing to force these three inseparable friends to respect and worship him and his best friend against their will!", and then Bluebell asked "So, what are you both planning to do with them?", and then Queen Thandi declared "If that's how our two respective subjects keep bullying, abusing and harassing the same three inseparable friends for no reason, which King Upali and I we both warned the both of them not to do, then this is where King Upali and I we say that they both just crossed the red line!", and then King Upali added in an agreeing tone "That's right! If Clayton and Zenobia both keep being abusing and too mean to Chloe, Aylene and Stephan behind their and our backs, then these two no good traitors who ignored our warnings and disobeyed us and our rules and wanted to do whatever they want even if it means for them to do bad things on others who are different than them, then Queen Thandi and I we both declare together as one that Clayton and Zenobia both deserve to be banished forever!".
When they all heard the declaration and official announcement of Zenobia and Clayton's banishment, all the Spotted hyenas and all the Atlas bears angrily yelled but also in agreeing tones that Zenobia and Clayton both deserve to leave and never return for everything bad they both have already done so far in and for all of these years. Then, a female Atlas bear yelled "They both deserve this! They both have already gone too far!", and then a male Spotted hyena added "And they've been acting so badly like this for all these years!", and then a male Atlas bear said in agreement "Now we all had enough of the both of them for everything bad they both did to others, and for nothing more than only for their own pleasure!", and then a female Spotted hyena added "These two always meant nothing but trouble to all of us and even to others! They also have been acting very nastily towards others just to gain and receive a lot of attention! These two together for all these years having been acting like nothing more than a couple of attention hounds!", and then she added "Now it's the right time for justice to take place and do what's must be done!".
However, what they all didn't know is that Zenobia and Clayton were both listening to everything everyone is saying against the both of them, and this made both abusive and mad wild animal carnivores to angrily come out from right behind them and then Zenobia cried in anger "WE HEARD EVERYTHING! HOW DARE YOU?!", and then Clayton added in the same loud and angry tone as Zenobia "HOW DARE YOU ALL BANISH US AWAY FROM OUR HOME?! WHAT A BETRAYAL!", but when everyone heard what they both said, they all turned around to face them with angry faces, scowls and even pure rage burning in their eyes, and then Queen Thandi and King Upali both stepped forward and approached Zenobia and Clayton, and then they both stopped dead in their tracks once they're only about 20 (6 meters) feet away from the two villainous animals, and the Spotted hyena queen and the Atlas bear king both looked at Zenobia and at Clayton with scowls of both anger and disappointment, much to Zenobia and Clayton's shock.
Then, Queen Thandi spoke up and angrily said to the two "How dare you two harm Chloe, Aylene and Stephan and just ignore all of our warnings?!", and then King Upali added in the same angry tone as Queen Thandi's "You both have deliberately disobeyed us!", but then Zenobia said accusingly "They hurt us first!", and then Clayton added "Yeah! These three kicked us off themselves, and then they all slapped us across our faces!", but neither Spotted hyena queen or Atlas bear king seemed to believe their lies, before the two leaders quickly shook their heads and looked at Zenobia and at Clayton with angry and disappointed eyes again, and then Queen Thandi said "You can't fool us into believing in you two!", and then King Upali added in agreement "We both know that you two are lying to us! You attacked Chloe, Aylene and Stephan first! Not to mention, they attacked you back in an attempt of trying to defend themselves and also save each other from you two!", and then Queen Thandi said "And by the way, what you two did to these three good friends have managed to hurt their feelings! Not to mentions that you two even sent them some threatening letters to scare and frighten them some more!", and then King Upali asked the twi traitorous animals "What do you two have to say to yourselves? Huh?!".
When Zenobia and Clayton both heard what King Upali said to them and asked about what do they have to say to themselves about everything bad they've done to Chloe, Aylene and Stephan so far by now, but then Zenobia said "They got what they deserved from us!", and then Clayton added "We wanted to teach them a proper lesson for not respecting and/or worshipping us! They must learn how to really respect their elders!", but then Celestia stepped forward and yelled at the two traitorous animals "Don't you two dare say such things about my daughters and about their best friend like that, you beasts!", but then Clayton approached her, stood upright on his hinder legs and yelled at her in the face "Shut up your mouth, you filthy horse! What are you supposed to be?! Their mother?! That's ridiculous!", but then Thorax also stepped forward and warned "Say that again to Celestia and I will not hesitate to blast at you two with my magic, you foul, hatred-filled beasts!", but then Zenobia approached him and then she stood upright on her hind legs and paws and yelled at him in the face "Will you shut your mouth too, you filthy bug-stag! What are you even supposed to be for these three little brats?! Their father or something?! That's ridiculous!", but then Bluebell used her magic to surround both the Spotted hyena and the Atlas bear in a blue aura, and then she brought them forward to herself and yelled at them in the faces "You listen to me, you two no good insolent and lousy jerks! I'm Stephan's girlfriend and I truly love and like him for the good centaur he is, and so I like Chloe and Aylene as well because they're too my friends! If you two dare to mess with them again, I'll be smashing you against lots of trees and rocks with the powerful force of my magic until you realize your mistakes, and then you both will spend the rest of your lives in Tartarus next to Lord Tirek and Cozy Glow for all I care!", and then she forcefully smashed them both against the ground.
Then, when Zenobia and Clayton slowly stood back up on their feet, they saw all the Spotted hyenas, Atlas bears, royal guards and changelings all looking at them with angry faces, before Shujaa and Kenai, the mane seven, Luna, Pharynx and the twins all yelled angrily in unison at Zenobia and Clayton "GET OUT OF HERE NOW!", and then all the animals and creatures who were all mixed together into one big and angry crowd all started to yell angrily at them, and then Zenobia and Clayton quickly stepped aback from them, before Queen Thandi and King Upali angrily said and demanded together to their two respective, yet now former family members "You two leave now or we'll all shoe you both out by force!", and when Zenobia and Clayton both finally realized that they're outnumbered by all the animals and creatures who stood in front of them like a big, angry and intimidating crowd, the two realized that they must leave now or they will be attacked by everyone else, and then Zenobia yelled back "Fine then!", and then Clayton added "Goodbye forever to all of you! We're both leaving!", but then Zenobia warned "But you all shall be warned - we will do whatever it takes to crash these human girl, teenage Pegasus and teenage centaur ourselves!", and then Clayton added "Be afraid! Be VERY afraid!", and then the two finally turned tail and started to run away together deeper into the Everfree Forest, apparently never to return to their own and respective families anymore.
Then, Kenai said "Ha! Good riddance!", and then Shujaa added "I hope they won't ever return to cause Chloe, Aylene and Stephan any more trouble!", and then the twins nodded their heads in agreement, and then Celestia said to everyone "Let's go back home to tell Chloe, Aylene and Stephan the good news!", and then every creature cheered for her, before she and Thorax turned to say goodbye to Queen Thandi and to King Upali, and also to thank them both for banishing Zenobia and Clayton away for good, and then everypony and every creature said goodbye to the Spotted hyenas and to the Atlas bears, and so they all went back to the royal castle to tell Chloe, Aylene and Stephan the good news about Zenobia and Clayton being banished away forever for all their crimes.
Later, after Chloe, Aylene and Stephan heard the good news about Zenobia and Clayton being banished away from their respective families for all their crimes, the three (particularly Stephan) told Thorax and Pharynx about how did they met Helena (Stephan's mother) as a spirit, and how she, Jack Williams (Chloe's grandfather) and Wild Berry (Aylene's father) all took them with along with them to see the real truth about her death at the paws and hands of the ferocious Beartaur, which turned out to be that it was Howard (Stephan's father) who was actually the one who helped the Beartaur kill his own wife, as Stephan and the twins didn't and couldn't see him on the top of the cliff Helena and the Beartaur climbed up and onto.
When Thorax and Pharynx heard what Stephan about his own father being the real one who is in fact responsible for his own mother's death at the paws and hands of the Beartaur, the two changeling kings got angry as they couldn't believe how could a father like him kill his own wife just like that, and then Pharynx said angrily "How could that jerk for a father do such horrible thing to his own wife?! He's indeed a true monster! He might be even worse than Chrysalis herself!", and then Thorax said and added "It's okay though, Pharynx! Now we have an advantage we can use against him and expose him as a traitor and a murderer once we catch and arrest him and his trial will take place and will be given in the court so he can be sent to Tartarus to serve a life sentence!".
Celestia and Luna too agreed that Howard deserves a true punishment for his own disgusting, outrageous and malevolent actions and crimes, and Chloe, Aylene, but importantly Stephan knew that as soon as Howard will be caught and imprisoned in Tartarus, Stephan and the twins will be able to escape from their living nightmare once and for all. Sooner or later, Stephan and the twins' horrible living nightmare will be all over, and the three centaurs will be able to live safely and far away from him forever.
