Meanwhile, Opey, Albert, Milton and Jayma all still traveled together in the dark cave in search for a way out, but that is until they reached a wooden log bridge which goes above a dark and deep chasm, but then they also saw some light coming from the other side of the bridge over the chasm, and much to their shock and surprise, it turned out to be another way out of the cave, and that therefore they're all very close to the exit, and this is when the maned lioness and the three young animal friends called and yelled happily all together "Yes! We're very close to the exit! It's just over that chasm on the other side of the wooden log bridge!".
However, before they're to cross the wooden log bridge, the four suddenly heard Georgie's voice calling for them from the other side of the bridge, and then he stepped into view and showed himself and he appeared to be alive and well on the other side of the chasm and near the exit, and without him having to cross the wooden log bridge at all. However, when Opey, Albert, Milton and Jayma all saw Georgie standing there and calling for them from the other side of the bridge and standing safe and sound and in one piece on the other side of the chasm, the four gasped in shock to realize that he ended getting separated from them but somehow managed to find a shortcut to get to the other side of the chasm without even using the wooden log bridge to cross over the chasm and to reach the other side.
"Georgie?!", everyone called for him from the first side of the chasm with shocked expressions on their faces, before Opey asked "What are you doing there?", and then Georgie explained "I ended getting accidentally separated from all of you, but I still managed somehow to find a safe shortcut which eventually led me all the way here!", but then Jayma asked him "Is this wooden log bridge safe for us all to cross on to get to the other side of the chasm?", and thenI Georgie called back from the other side of the chasm "Yes! Get across the wooden log bridge! I'm waiting here on the other side until all of you make it here!", and when his friends and Jayma all heard what the juvenile male gorilla said, they're about to go on and cross the chasm on the wooden log bridge all together.
However, before they're about to cross on the bridge all together, another voice which came behind Georgie suddenly called for Jayma and for the three young animal friends "N-no, wait! P-please, stop!", and when they all heard what the small voice suddenly said to them, Jayma soon halted and then she told Opey, Albert and Milton to go back to the first side of the chasm, and when they did so, this is when Jayma turned back and called for Georgie and asked "Georgie, is there someone else in there with you?", and when Georgie heard what she said, he said back "Yes, three of them actually!", but when Jayma heard what the juvenile male gorilla said, she then asked in shock "Three?! Are they're new friends of yours or something?", and then Georgie answered back "Yes, they are!".
Just then, Maisie, Riley and Cheeky all stepped (and hopped) forward and came out from right behind Georgie and into view to show themselves to Jayma, and when she slowly stepped forward herself and slowly reached the middle of the wooden log bridge and saw them from a bit closer look, she then asked Georgie "Who are these three little guys?", and then Georgie explained as he introduced, motioned and pointed with an index finger of his on each of the little baby animals "Jayma, I want you to meet my three newest little friends - Maisie *he motioned and pointed at the baby galago first*, Riley *he motioned and pointed at the baby fennec fox second*, and Cheeky *he motioned and pointed at the baby jerboa last*, and they're really nice for animals their own small, cute and lovable sizes!".
Then, he turned back to the three little baby animals and then he said to them "You see? This is Jayma the maned lioness. She may look like any normal male lion because of her long, thick and completely characteristic mane and muscular body build, but despite her male-like appearance, she's definitely a female.", and then he quickly added "But do not worry, my new little friends. You can really trust her. She's really nice like me and she will never want to hurt any of you, and she will never dream of eating any of you either. She's acting and behaving more like a scavenger instead of a predator because she doesn't really likes eating living animals, and she thinks eating dead ones is a much better thing to do because she's unwilling to take away other animals' lives in order to feed herself.", and then he concluded and said "So, let's just say that you three can clearly trust her, and I think that once I tell her about what that female monster elephant did to your moms, I bet she will be determined and very willing to take of her and deal with her for you.", and then he finished and said "That's a promise.", before he gave them all a reassuring smile.
Then, when Jayma approached and stepped even closer as she nearly reached the other end of the wooden log bridge and nearly reached the other side of chasm, Maisie called out for her "P-please, tell your friends that they must cross the wooden log bridge only one at a time! T-the wooden log bridge isn't stable or strong enough for all of you and to cross all together!", and when Jayma heard what the little baby galago (bush baby) said, she then asked her "Are you sure?", and then Maisie said back "Y-yes! I-I'm pretty sure that bridge is stable for only one at a time crossing!".
Then, when Jayma safely made it and reached the other end of the wooden log bridge and made it to the other side of the chasm in one piece, she then turned to look back at Opey, Albert and Milton and then she called for them "Okay, kids! Come on over! One at a time!", and when the three young animal friends heard what their adult maned lioness friend just said to them about crossing the wooden log bridge only one at a time, this is when Milton decided to go on and cross the bridge next, while Opey and Albert stayed behind and watched him going on the bridge and crossing it to get to the other side of the chasm, and they both waited patiently for their own respective turns to go on and cross the wooden log bridge one at a time.
While Milton the young tapir was crossing the wooden log bridge to get to the other side of the chasm, Jayma introduced herself to Maisie, Riley and Cheeky and she told them that everything that Georgie told them about her were true and that she will never want to mean them any harm and will never dream of eating any of them either, and she even told them about Agatha and about her strong friendship bond she have with her, and also about how they both came to be friends with each other as she told them the truth about Agatha's past but also about her own past before she came to live as a solitary lioness without the rest of her lion pride, and also about her reunion with Agatha at the Kirin village since her own brother Buldeo tried (but failed) to kill her by throwing her to the river at the bottom of the ravine to drown, but (of course) she ended up surviving and escaping her fate, thus revealing to Maisie, Riley and Cheeky the rest of the things they all needed to know about not only herself, but also about her best friend Agatha, and even about her own evil and traitorous brother Buldeo who betrayed her (because he hated her strong relationships Agatha in the first place).
When Milton the young tapir finally reached the other end of the wooden log bridge and made it to the other side of the chasm safely, this is when Jayma turned her attention away from Maisie, Riley and Cheeky and looked back at Opey and Albert, who waited patiently for her to tell who's going to cross the wooden log bridge next, and then the maned lioness called out for them "Okay, Milton have finished crossing the bridge and he made it to the other side! Now it's your turn, Albert! You're going next!", and when the young Sumatran rhinoceros heard what she said about him having his turn to cross the wooden log bridge after Milton made it to the other side, Albert called back "Okay! Stay where you are, guys! I'm coming to all of you!", and then he slowly started to cross on the wooden log bridge to reach and make it to the other side of the chasm, leaving Opey to stay behind until he reaches the other end of the wooden log bridge and makes it to the other side of the chasm (and have the last turn to cross the bridge).
When Albert the young Sumatran rhinoceros finally reached the other end of the wooden log bridge and made it to the other side of the chasm safely, this is when Jayma called for Opey "Okay, Albert have finished crossing the bridge and he made to the other side as well! Now it's your turn, Opey! You're going next AND last!", and when the young female okapi heard what the maned lioness said to her, she called back "Okay! Stay where you are, guys! I'm coming to all of you!", and then she slowly started to cross on the wooden log bridge after Albert made it to the other side (as well), and so she continued to walk and get across the wooden log bridge to get to the other end of it, but once she reached near the other end of the wooden log bridge, it suddenly started shaking and move out of place, and when everyone saw this happening, Jayma screamed at the top of her lungs "RUN, OPEY!", and when the young female okapi heard what she said, she started to run as fast as she could towards the other side of the chasm as the bridge finally started to break loose and then it started falling, and when that happened, Opey jumped up and tried to reach the other end of the chasm, and she ended up grabbing onto the edge on the other side of the chasm in the nick of time, but unfortunately, however, she still held tightly with her forelegs and with her cloven forehooves onto the edge on the other side of the chasm, and she slowly started to slip away, causing her to cry "Somebody, please, help!".
When all the animals saw their young okapi friend holding tightly onto the edge on the other side of the chasm but is slowly slipping away, they all cried and called out loud for her "OPEY! NOOOOOOOOO!", but when Opey was about to fall down into the chasm, however, this is when Jayma swooped in to save her by quickly grabbing onto and holding tightly at one of her cloven forehooves with both of her own forepaws and then she started to pull her up and save her in the nick of time, and when all the other animals saw her trying to save Opey from falling into the chasm, Albert and Milton soon came behind her and then they started to pull at both of Jayma's hind legs in order to help pulling her backwards so she can pull Opey back up to safety, and once Opey was standing on top of the edge on the other side of the chasm safe and sound and in one piece, this is when Jayma, Albert and Milton let go of her and of each other as they finally relaxed to see that they managed to pull their young okapi friend to safety, which they all barely did in the nick of time.
With all the animals standing alive and well on the other side of the chasm, this is when they all went towards the light that was very close near them, and once they all reached the light, they finally reached the exit which leads out of the cave, and this is when they all finally exited and left the cave and went back to the big forest of the Peaks of Peril. However, before they're all about to continue and go forward, and shortly after they all finally managed to escape and leave the cave, Jayma and the seven young animal friends (four young juveniles and three little babies) suddenly heard something big that is actually moving in the big nearby bushes somewhere around them and is heading towards them all, and this when Maisie, Riley and Cheeky all cowered against Georgie, who stood still next to Opey, Albert and Milton, who all stood still right behind Jayma, who looked at the big bushes in front of her and saw something big actually moving towards her inside them, and when the big and mysterious thing started to come forward and move closer to the maned lioness and to the seven young animal friends, Jayma asked and then demanded "Huh? Who goes there? Who's coming towards us inside these big bushes? Show yourself!", and then she drew out her long and sharp claws on her forepaws and readied herself to swipe at and/or strike at whatever is coming towards her and towards the seven young animal friends inside the big bushes standing in front of them.
However, instead of some large animal like another lion, a hyena, a tiger or a bear coming out of the bushes and attacking Jayma and the seven young animal friends, Kyra the young Indian elephant burst out through the big bushes and cried out for her friends "There you are, guys!", thus shocking them all before Opey, Albert, Milton and Georgie all asked together in shock "Kyra?!", and then Opey stepped forward to meet her elephant friend and then she asked her "Is that you? How are you here? How did you found us?", but then Kyra said "It's a long story short, Opey!", before a familiar adult female voice called for Opey, and that's when the young okapi's mother stepped into view and showed up behind Kyra, before she went around the young Indian elephant to nuzzle her young daughter, before Opey cried "Mommy, it's you!" but then she asked her "What are you doing here?", and then the mother okapi said "Kyra and I we both went looking for you and for all your little friends so we can take you back home to the rest of the herds in the Everfree Forest.".
However, then Jayma stepped forward and said "I saved your daughter when we tried to find our way out of that cave!", but when Opey's mother heard what the maned lioness said, she turned to look at her and then she asked her "Excuse me, but who are you?", and then Jayma introduced herself and said "I'm Jayma, once the queen of my pride, now a solitary lioness who chose to live alone without the rest of my pride! And by the way, I'm a maned lioness, which explains the complete and characteristic mane I have around my neck, as well as my strong muscles and heavier body build which allows me to wrestle my prey, but luckily for all of you, I'm a scavenger, and therefore I choose and prefer to eat only dead animals!", and when Opey's mother heard that Jayma is actually a maned lioness, she gasped in shock before she said "I never seen a maned lioness before! I thought you maned lionesses are all just a legend!", but then Jayma said to her "No, we're not just a legend! Maned lionesses like me are real!".
When Opey's mother heard what Jayma said just a minute ago about saving Opey while they're inside the cave, the mother okapi asked her "And wait a minute, did you just said that you saved my daughter's life?", and then Jayma said "Surely I did, but it wasn't really easy for me, so two of your daughter's friends helped me pull myself backwards so I can pull your daughter up to safety when we were about to escape and leave the cave!", and when the mother okapi heard what the maned lioness said, she lowered her neck and head down to look at her closer in the eyes and then she said to her "Thank you, Jayma! You're such a good friend, and you are indeed to be trusted for who you are!", but then Jayma said "Oh, it was nothing, Mrs. I always used to do such things as that before I even met my best friend, Agatha. But-", but when Opey's mother suddenly heard her saying and mentioning Agatha's name, she cut her in mid-sentence and then she asked "Wait, what? Did you just said that you're friends with Agatha, the white lioness who was once Yigal's lioness, before she ended turning on him for him harassing her over a baby human boy he found?".
When Jayma heard what the mother okapi said about Agatha, the maned lioness sighed heavily and said "Yes, she was once Yigal's lioness, but now - not anymore.", and then she added "She have changed and became a good lioness once she befriended a young Unicorn and a young dragon whose names are Sweetie Belle and Spike and showed them through saving their lives that she wanted to be good after she good banished forever from the villains' side, but my brother, Buldeo, tried to persuade all of Ponyville, as well as the rest of my lion pride that Agatha is still evil and that she's not to be trusted, and he even framed Sweetie Belle and Spike away from everyone else as he saw them as threats to his own evil plans to keep Agatha away, and so he decided that they're to stay and live with Agatha as depressed loners.", and when everyone heard what she said about Agatha's pain and also about how Sweetie Belle and Spike fit in her pain as they both got framed away by Buldeo as well (before they and Agatha worked together to expose him), Opey's mother said as she couldn't believe what she just heard "Poor Agatha, now I really feel sorry for her and for everything bad she have been through! That brother of yours is such a jerk in the way he treated her and these young Unicorn and dragon who trusted and befriended her!", but then Jayma corrected her and said "My brother isn't just a jerk, but is also nothing but pure evil, and he even tried to kill me by throwing me into the fast-streaming river at the bottom of the ravine just because I became friends with Agatha, and then he fooled and tricked into believing that she's the one to blame for my death, despite the fact that I'm still here and now, which means that I managed to survive and escape from a terrible fate of drowning in the fast-streaming river.".
When Opey heard what Jayma said about her own brother's attempted murder on her when he saw the friendship bonds that formed between her and Agatha, the young okapi cried "Your brother is such a monster! I would like to give him one good bucking to the face for doing this to you! You didn't deserve to be thrown into the water, but to him it does!", but then Jayma said "But you don't have to, because Agatha gave him what he deserved - she fought him and successfully managed to throw him off the edge of the cliff into the same ravine and into the same fast-streaming river below, although he survived as well, but luckily, I don't know and I don't even want to know where he is right now.", but just then, an awfully familiar adult male voice suddenly said evilly "Did somebody mentioned me and talked about me behind my back?!", and when Jayma recognized the evil male voice, she said "Oh no, I should've known.".
Just then, Buldeo came out nowhere and appeared in front of all the other animals, but he wasn't alone, as suddenly a female spotted hyena and a male Atlas bear also came out of nowhere and stopped by both of his sides and next to him, and these two are none other than Zenobia and Clayton, and now it seems that all three bad animals are now friends with each other and they're now working together as a formidable team, much to all the other animals' shock when they saw all three villainous animals actually working together, before Clayton the Atlas bear said evilly as he licked his lips "I think I see some lunch!", but then Zenobia the spotted hyena said and added as she suddenly eyed Maisie, Riley and Cheeky and looked at them with hungry and evil eyes "But I think I see some tiny snacks which I can also eat as well!", and then she laughed evilly as she stepped a little closer and kept looking down at the small and terrified little baby animals, who gasped in fright when they realized that Zenobia is determined and willing to eat them for lunch, and so they cowered and hugged at Georgie's body for comfort as the evil female spotted hyena managed to scare them all with the hungry look on her evil face.
However, when Zenobia stepped even closer to Georgie and to the three little baby animals, Jayma and Opey's mother both came out of nowhere and stepped in between them, before Jayma said "Stay away from these youngsters! I'm warning you, you mangy, filthy spotted hyena!", and thenthe Opey's mother added in agreement "If you want these poor little baby animals, you and your two friends have to go through us first!", but then Zenobia said back "No problem! We can easily deal with the two of you because we're a team!", and then she added and warned "Prepare to die!", and then the two good adult female animals (Jayma and Opey's mother) and the three adult evil animals (Zenobia, Clayton and Buldeo) started to fight each other in front of the eight young animal friends, who looked at them with shock in and behind their eyes.
However, just then, Opey's mother turned her head to look at her own daughter and at her daughter's friends and then she called for them "Run, kids! Quickly! Run for your lives!", but then Opey asked her "But what about you, mommy?", and then Jayma turned her head to her and toher the seven other young animal friends and then she said "Your mother and I we'll take care of and we'll deal with these three! You go find help!", and then the two continued to fight together against Zenobia, Clayton and Buldeo, thus keeping them busy enough to distract them away from the eight young animal friends, who all did as the mother okapi and the maned lioness told them to, and so they all started to run away together to the Kirin village to ask for and find some help.
