The next morning, Agatha, Sweetie Belle and Spike went to Ponyville once again and the three wanted to convince and show everyone that Buldeo was been lying to them and manipulating them all all along, and once they arrived and then entered Ponyville, Agatha, Sweetie Belle and Spike all worked together as a team and hoped that everypony, or at least somepony will listen to them, but exposing Buldeo's true colors in front of everypony's eyes would prove for the three friends to be immensely difficult, because he's smart, strong, and also a skilled liar.
However, the three friends went up to a stop at the very center of Ponyville so they can get everypony's attentions, and to make sure that everypony hears everything they have to say, the three brought some microphones so their plan to expose Buldeo will go exactly as they planned. Then, Agatha called for everypony through the microphone she held in her forepaw and when everypony heard her calling for them, they all went up to the exact spot at the center of Ponyville, but then they all gasped in shock to see Agatha, Sweetie Belle and Spike are standing there in front of them all.
However, before everypony can chase and banish the three friends away from Ponyville, Agatha spoke up through her microphone and said to the entire crowd of ponies, who are now standing and gathering all around them and surrounding them but still giving them some space so they can speak to them all "Listen, everypony! I know what you all might be thinking about me, as well as about my two new friends, but I still have something to say to all of you - I've changed! I'm no longer that kind of monster I used to be before I ran away from Yigal and from the other villains because of their new adopted baby boy who's name is Dan Ashmor! I'm no longer willing to cause you all lots of pain! I'm no longer laughing evilly at you all every time something that was precious to you or to all of your world is destroyed!", and then she added "After a long consideration, I finally made it up in my mind, and so I decided to reform and become good for real! No longer a villainess! No longer an evil monster! No longer a ferocious beast!", and then she stepped aback to allow and let Sweetie Belle step forward and speak up to everypony and say what she have to say.
Then Sweetie Belle spoke up and said (through her microphone) to everypony who all gathered all around "Listen, everypony! I haven't betrayed you, and neither Spike did! Don't you all just see? That male lion Buldeo was merely tricking you all, and he was also using you to his own advantage so he can get rid of Agatha, AND of us!", and then she added "But Spike and I we've already saw the real lion behind Buldeo - an evil male lion who cares about no one but himself! We saw through his camouflage! He's the real evil lion around here, and not Agatha! You all have to believe in me! You all have to believe in all three of us! We're telling you all the truth about him! Buldeo is evil!".
Then, when Sweetie Belle stepped aback, Spike stepped forward so he can speak up to everypony and say what he have to say as well. Then, the young and winged dragon spoke up and said through his microphone to everypony who all gathered all around "Please, listen to us, everypony! Buldeo is not who you all think he is! That male lion is just turning us all against each other! When Sweetie Belle and I saw the good behind Agatha's eyes and found that she's indeed telling us the truth about her own redemption to the good side, Buldeo saw us as threats just the same way as he saw Agatha as a threat, but we know that Buldeo is the only one who really sees us that way! We're threats only to him and him alone! We're not threats to anyone else besides just him! And that's the real truth!".
When everypony heard everything Agatha, Sweetie Belle and Spike all said (in respective turns), they all gasped in shock and surprise before they all turned to each other and started to talk to each other about one thing they all should still consider - if to trust the three friends or not. However, just then, Rarity cut and made her way through the whole crowd of ponies who gathered around Agatha, Sweetie Belle and Spike, and once she reached the three, she went up to Sweetie Belle and then she hugged her tightly and said with tears in her eyes and with regret in her tone for putting that insulting sign on the door of her boutique to shoe Sweetie Belle off and make her go away and don't come back "Oh, Sweetie Belle! I'm so sorry for what I did to you! I should've not put that stupid and insulting sign on the door of my boutique to shoe you away like I did! You're my sister and I love you! I can't believe that evil male lion tricked me into turning on you like that! That male lion was such a barbaric monster!", and then she looked down at Sweetie Belle in the eyes and asked "Can you please forgive me for my blind and foolish actions?".
When Sweetie Belle heard what her own big sister just said, tears of joy started to form in her own eyes and then she returned the hug by wrapping her own forelegs around Rarity, before the two nuzzled each other muzzle to muzzle, thus showing that the severed sisterly bond between them has been rebuilt, and once they finally broke their hug from each other, Rarity turned to look at Agatha in the eyes and then she said to her in her elegant voice tone "And as for you, Agatha, I'm so sorry I misjudged you and believed that you're still an evil lioness like in all these years before! I beg your apology, Miss! I didn't know that you're right about one thing - that you still can change and redeem yourself, even if some of the things you've done in the past were beyond forgiveness!", and then she turned back to look at the entire crowd of ponies and announced "As the Element of Generosity, and as one of Princess Twilight Sparkle', the Princess of Friendship's best friends, I'm the one and only teacher in all of Equestria who is capable of teaching others how to be generous for life, but today, it was my own sister and Spike who taught me something - that a new generous friend can come from everywhere. I guess everypony and every creature still has things to learn about generosity. Even me! And if my own sister and Spike says that Agatha is their friend, as well as Agatha is now a reformed lioness and a new generous friend, then she's my friend too.".
Then, Rarity turned back to look at Agatha once more before she then stretched out a foreleg of her own to shake her forehoof with Agatha's forepaw, and Agatha saw this as an opportunity to show everyone that she can really change, just like Shujaa and Kenai have already did before she did, and so she grabbed at Rarity's forehoof with her own forepaw and then she shook it while tears of joy formed in the white lioness' eyes and she sniffled as her dreams of becoming good and showing her redemption finally have become true, before Agatha said "Thank you.", and then she let go of Rarity's hoof and wiped away the tears forming in her own eyes as she didn't wanted to cry in front of everypony, who looked at her with smiles forming on all their faces from seeing Agatha's redemption to the good side at last.
However, an evil male voice suddenly yelled in anger "NO, NO, NO! THIS IS WRONG! DON'T LISTEN TO THAT WHITE LIONESS AND TO HER LITTLE TRAITORS! THEY'RE LYING! THEY'RE ALL LYING!", and then Buldeo came out of nowhere with Jayma's entire lion pride and then they made their way through the crowd of ponies and started to approach Agatha, Sweetie Belle, Spike and Rarity, who all stood in shock and horror when they saw the evil male lion coming towards them once again, and once he stopped in front of the four (and particularly in front of Agatha), he said to Agatha "You're still evil, Agatha! And that's what you'll always be!", but then Sweetie Belle and Spike jumped in between them and then the young Unicorn yelled at him in the face "Hey, leave her alone! Agatha is a good lioness now!", and then Spike added in agreement "And YOU are the one lion who is evil all along!".
However, instead of yelling and fighting back, Buldeo suddenly just started to laugh evilly at them and then he asked "Really? Is that what you really think?", and then he added and said evilly "So now tell me one thing you haven't yet told to all these filthy ponies around!", and then Rarity asked Agatha "Agatha, what is that ruffian talking about?", but then Buldeo said "A-ha! So you haven't yet told them all the truth, did you?!", and then he added and asked Agatha "Now tell me that again and for the second time I'm going to ask you to tell it out - who is responsible for Jayma's death?!", and when all the lions heard what Buldeo said, they gasped and waited for Agatha to tell the truth, but then Agatha said with guilt in her eyes "I did.".
When everypony and all the lions heard what she just said, they all gasped in shock and disbelief all together, before Rarity approached her and tried to look into her eyes and begged her and said "It's not true, Agatha! Please! Tell me it's not true!", but then Agatha sighed in shame and then she lowered her head down and started to shed tears of pain and sadness and said "It's true.", and then Buldeo roared to everyone else "See?! She admits it again! MURDERESS!", but then Agatha raised her head up again and looked at him with tears still going down her eyes "No! It was all an accident!", but then Buldeo yelled at her in a threatening tone "If it weren't for you, Jayma would still be alive! It's your fault that she's dead!", and then he asked her "Do you deny it?", but then Agatha said "No, I don't.", but then Buldeo yelled at her back "Then you're GUILTY!", but then Agatha begged and cried "No, I'm not a murderess!".
Then, Buldeo forcefully threatened Agatha to start to walk backwards until they reached the bridge standing above the river that leads out of Ponyville, and once they reached the bridge, Buldeo said to Agatha in a low, deep and evil tone "Now, you're in trouble again, Agatha! And this time, my sister isn't here to save you, and now everyone knows WHY!", and the evil force in his tone caused Agatha to misplace her hind paws over one of the sides and edges of the bridge and caused her to slip off the bridge, only to barely hold onto it with her forepaws, causing Sweetie Belle, Spike and Rarity to cry all together "Agatha, no!".
However, before Buldeo is about to kill Agatha in the same way he already 'did' to Jayma, a familiar feeling came over him and then he said and asked himself "Hmmm, where have I seen this before? Let me think...", but then another familiar feeling came over him and then he remembered and said "Oh, yes, I remember! This is just the way my sister looked before she died.", and then he dug his own claws into Agatha's forepaws in the same way he did to Jayma, and then he lowered his head down to look at Agatha until he was only an inch away from her face and then he said to her evilly "And here's my little secret...", and then he whispered three dark and evil words into Agatha's ear "I killed Jayma.".
When Agatha heard what Buldeo just said and whispered into her ear the real truth about Jayma's 'death', the white lioness screamed "NOOOOOOOOO!" in her flashback reflecting to the time she watched Jayma falling to the ravine and seemingly drowning to death in the fast-streaming river below, before her scream went real as it continued to yell right now too, before Agatha quickly leapt back up onto the bridge and then she tackled and pinned Buldeo down on his back and yelled at him "MURDERER!", thus shocking all the ponies and all the lions who stood in shock and horror behind them, but then Buldeo quickly begged and said to Agatha "No, wait, Agatha, please!", but then she said sternly as she looked at him with angry eyes "Tell everyone the truth.", but then Buldeo said to her back "Truth? But, truth is in the eye of the behol-", but then he was cut in mid-sentence when Agatha started to choke him as she began applying pressure through his mane and directly into his neck, thus forcing to tell the truth and causing to say "Alright. Alright!", and then he whispered "I did it.", but then Agatha said to him "So they all can hear you out, Buldeo.", and this is when Buldeo called out loud and yelled in anger "I KILLED JAYMA!".
When everyone heard what Buldeo just said, they all gasped in shock before their faces (of both everypony and of all the lions of Jayma's pride) turned red from pure anger, before Sweetie Belle and Spike stepped forward and then the young Unicorn yelled "Now you all see?! Buldeo is the one who is to blame for what happened to Jayma!" and then the young dragon added "He's the real murderer around here! Get him now!", and when everypony and all the the lions of Jayma's pride heard what the two just said, they all went to attack Buldeo, but not before Agatha jumped and got off him so he can get what he deserved for 'killing' his own sister and the hooves, paws and claws of all the ponies and of all the lions, who angrily went up to his to teach him a lesson for doing such unforgivable and inexcusable crime, but then Buldeo quickly stood back up on his feet and then he bolted and made his way through the mixed crowd of both ponies and lions, and then he managed to escape and then he ran towards the forest, but Agatha, Sweetie Belle, Spike and Rarity all still followed him in order to get him and take him down for his unforgivable and inexcusable crimes.
Eventually, the four friends caught up with him near the edge of the same cliff where Buldeo 'killed' Jayma, thus having him surrounded and cornered, before Agatha stepped forward and approached him and muttered "Murderer.", but then Buldeo protested and said as he begged for mercy from her "Agatha! Agatha, please! I promise I will make it up to you!", but then Agatha said "I don't believe you, Buldeo. You don't deserve to live!". However, when Buldeo heard what she coldly said to him, he said to her "But, I'm the friend you really need! I'm a lion and so are you! We're from the same species, yes we are!", but then Agatha said to him as she approached until she's very close to him "Why should I believe you? Everything you ever told me and everyone else was a lie.", and then the evil male lion begged her and asked as he was now lowering down in fear because of her threatening looks and appearance she made towards him "What are you going to do to me? You wouldn't kill a male like me, would you?", but then Agatha said though she retained the stern looks on her face as she looked down at him in the eyes "No, Buldeo. I just don't like you for the evil lion you are.".
When Buldeo heard what Agatha just said, he said and asked "I'm so sorry for my actions towards you and towards my own sister when she befriended you. How can I ever repay you for what I did to you from when we first met each other?", and then Agatha said to him the same words he said to her when he put the blame for Jayma's death on her "Run, Buldeo. Run. Run away and never return.", thus shocking the evil male lion when he realized that Agatha is using his own words against him in return for putting the blame for Jayma's death on her, before he slowly stood up again and said with apparent defeat on his face "Yes, Agatha.", and then he started to walk away from her, and then he added "As you wish...", but then he looked down and saw some small stones just next to him and then he finished "...Your majesty!", and then he violently threw the small stones right in Agatha's face, thus temporarily blinding her sight before he then jumped onto her and tried to snap and break off her neck.
However, before he can bite hard onto Agatha's neck, Rarity yelled at Buldeo "Oh no, you don't!", and then she lit up her horn and then she blasted at him and zapped him on the shoulder, thus causing him to scream and get off Agatha, but that also gave the white lioness the advantage to start a duel with Buldeo, and that is when Agatha and Buldeo started to fight each other in a duel between a male (lion) and a female (lioness), and Agatha put up a good fight, despite she's smaller and her neck is exposed (and maneless) compared to Buldeo, who was much larger and his neck is covered by a thick mane (which also protects his neck from getting bitten to death by other large carnivorous mammals), but when Buldeo suddenly managed to slap her face with a forepaw and managed to flip her upside down onto her back, this is when he made one last attempt to kill Agatha by jumping up and leaping right at her with his forelegs, forepaws, claws, neck, head and teeth were all aiming down at her, but before he can destroy Agatha for good, the white lioness suddenly successfully managed to use her hind legs to kick, hurl and throw Buldeo over the edge of the cliff, thus sending him down to the fast-streaming river below to get swept away (and to drown), and thus also defeating him for all of his unforgivable and inexcusable crimes.
With Buldeo defeated, Agatha turned back to look at her friends and then she said to them "Let's go home!", and so she, Sweetie Belle, Spike and Rarity all went back to Ponyville to tell everyone about Buldeo's defeat, and also to officially announce Agatha's redemption to the good side. The following day, it was already one month which already have passed, and therefore it was now 59 months (4 years and 11 months) since Chloe first arrived in Equestria, and it was also 47 months (3 years and 11 months) since Aylene became her beloved equestrian Pegasus pony sister, and they, Stephan, Tah and her son Trog, all their friends, the mane seven, Celestia, Luna, and even Thorax and Pharynx were all present as they gathered in Canterlot, with everypony from Ponyville, all the good and reformed changelings from the changeling kingdom, and even Jayma's entire lion pride were all also invited in for a special event - the official announcement of Agatha's redemption, but that wasn't the only thing that happened in the event, as Agatha also explained why did she decided to reform at last, and so she started to tell everyone about how it all started when Yigal's new adopted baby son, Dan Ashmor, who was in fact the youngest evil human in all of Equestria took everything she knew and loved before her redemption away from her, and even got whipped twice on her back by Yigal when she accidentally made his adopted baby boy cry when she tried to snatch and take her feeding bowl back to herself, but then she also explained that after he and all the other villains left their home for a walking trip (with baby Dan, of course), she angrily wrote a permanent goodbye letter for them, before she ran away from the villains' home and never returned back to them ever since.
When everypony and every creature all heard the real reason which led to Agatha's eventual redemption, they were all in shock and also in a bit of horror when they all realized that Yigal abused her just because he started taking care of Dan Ashmor, his evil baby and paid less and less attention to her up to the point she eventually left him and the other villains to start anew without them in her life, but then she also said and announced that she chose the two ponies and the dragon who saw through her redemption and realized that she really wanted to be good before everyone else did as her new best friends - Sweetie Belle, Spike and Rarity, and then she also announced that she already have chosen to live with Rarity and Sweetie Belle in Carousel Boutique so she can get used to her new life as a whole good and new heroine, and also forget about Yigal and about all the other villains forever after the way they all treated her on these last few days of her life she spent with them before she ran away from them and left them for good.
After the long speech she said, announced and told about herself (and also about her willing to reform after she ran away from Yigal and from the other villains for good) to everyone, Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Thorax and Pharynx all officially announced that Agatha is now a good lioness and is now going to live with Rarity and Sweetie Belle in Carousel Boutique like she chose to, and that therefore she's no longer belongs to Yigal, and when everyone heard what the three Alicorn princesses and the two changeling kings said and announced about Agatha's redemption and about her starting anew as a good lioness to forget about her terrible and villainous past, everyone cheered up not only for the five respected and dignified rulers but also for Agatha herself, who is now happy to start her whole new life as a new good lioness (and also without Yigal and all the other villains), and once the announcement of Agatha's redemption was over, Agatha went to live with Sweetie Belle and Rarity at their home in Carousel Boutique, thus finally gaining new friends, receiving a lot of attention, and having a new home where she can stay and live in for the rest of her life, and this is when Agatha's new life finally have begun.
