Now, it was already 60 months (5 years) since Chloe first arrived in Equestria, and it was also 48 months (4 years) since Aylene became her beloved equestrian Pegasus pony sister, and now they and everyone else were all doing fine after three of villains' animals have already reformed and turned good throughout the course of the last 4-5 years - Shujaa, Gilad's former albino orangutan, Kenai, Gilad's former brown panda, and Agatha, Yigal's former white lioness, but now we're going to see what happens next with our three newest little baby animal friends - Maisie the baby galago, Riley the baby fennec fox, and Cheeky the baby jerboa, who are just getting used to their new lives in the Everfree Forest and to their much larger friends and surroundings together.
In the Everfree Forest, Maisie, Riley and Cheeky are all trying their best to show the herds that they deserve to live with them, but even though most of the animals, including the respective leaders of each of the herds (Angalifu, Queen Tukta, Mekong and Sariah), one animal from one of the herds still didn't really wanted to have these three little orphan baby animals around - an adolescent male Indian elephant from Queen Tukta's herd, his name was Shufai, and besides of him being one of Queen Tukta's oldest grandchildren, he's in fact none other than Kyra's older brother, thus revealing that despite he doesn't really wants the three poor little baby animals to stay and live with his family and with the other herds, Shufai is still closely related to the much younger elephant who saved their lives not so long ago.
One day, when Maisie, Riley and Cheeky were playing together with Kyra, Opey, with their best friends and with all the other young animals in the herds, they couldn't see Shufai watching and looking at them all from a distance alongside the other adolescents, adults and elders of the herds, but the adolescent male Indian elephant's face weren't really happy with the three new little baby animals' presence, and instead he eyed Maisie, Riley and Cheeky with pure disgust as he didn't liked them at all, before he went alone to a spot that was a bit far away from all the other adolescents, adults and elders of the herds, and then he spoke up and said to himself in a complaining tone "First, I was so happy to see that my sister is coming back home again, because I truly missed her, but then she and her best friends brought these three stinky little mice to our home to stay and live with us and with our united herds!", and then he added and said to himself "These three don't deserve to stay and live here with all of us! They're too small and useless! Having these three around here in our home is something utterly preposterous! When the right time comes, I will take these three little mice to have a talk with me so I can teach them a lesson and show them how things REALLY work around here in our home!".
The following day, after Maisie, Riley and Cheeky played with all the other animal youngsters, they were about to join them all to eat some lunch with them - which was in that case - fruits and plants. Before they're about to join and eat some lunch too, a voice suddenly said to them "Pssst, hey you three.", and when the three little animal friends turned their heads to look behind them, they saw Shufai standing behind some of the nearby trees and calling for them to come over to him in a low and quiet tone so not to get all the other animal youngsters' attention as well, before he then said to them while keeping speaking in a low and quite tone "Yes you three, come over here to me.", and then he added "We really need to talk.", and when Maisie, Riley and Cheeky barely heard what he said to them, the three decided to go towards him and see what the adolescent male Indian elephant wants from them that may be so important for them to hear, know and understand for the most.
When Maisie, Riley and Cheeky all went past the nearby trees and reached up to Shufai, they looked up at his medium-large sized body and appearance, but then he also appeared to be somewhat scary and intimidating to the three little animal friends, who swallowed deeply and nervously at his looks and appearance as he looked scary and intimidating to them as he too looked down at their frightened faces, before a mischievous smile formed on his face before he said "Hi, three little mice!", thus prompting Cheeky to ask "M-mice?", before Riley added and asked "Wh-what do y-you want f-from us, M-Mister E-Elephant?", but then Shufai said back "Oh, I don't want anything. However, I would like to introduce myself to you three, if you don't mind.", and then he added and introduced himself and said "My name is Shufai, and in case you didn't know, I'm Kyra's older brother and one of Queen Tukta's oldest grandchildren.", and when the three little baby animal friends all heard what the adolescent male Indian elephant said to them about himself being Kyra's older brother, Maisie said back to him "W-we didn't know that K-Kyra have a b-big brother.", but then Shufai said to them while giving a meanie smile "You do now!", thus causing the three little animal friends step aback from him as he kept being mean to them in order to 'show' them who's boss.
Then, Shufai said as he took a step forward "You see, my little rodents, I'm a future leader of Queen Tukta's Indian elephant herd, and I don't like anyone that is new here to try and show me up and try to steal my high rank and get to stand above me, do you understand?", but then Riley cried while shaking in fear alongside Maisie and Cheeky "B-b-but we...we...", but then Shufai yelled at him and at his two best friends and said with a hint of anger in his tone "Shut up and be quite!", as he stomped his front right foot down in front of them, thus causing Maisie, Riley and Cheeky to swallow deeply and nervously and shake harder at his appearance and looks, his massive size compared to theirs, but most importantly - his angry face.
Then, Shufai said and warned in his threatening tone "Now, if you three just stay out of my way, I promise you that there won't be any problems, okay you three stupid little mice?!", and then he looked down at all three of them and gave them a fairly meanie and scary smirk, thus prompting Riley to say as he and his two friends nodded and nervously swallowed once again "Y-y-yes, M-Mister Sh-Shufai, w-we promise w-we won't b-bother you or c-cause you any t-trouble, e-ever.", and when Shufai heard what the little baby fennec fox just said, a big meanie smile appeared on his face before he said "Good. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Now that's much more like it.", but then he quickly added "But I'm not done with you three yet, because I have one more thing I still have to say to you little rodents.", and then he spoke up and said the most insulting words he ever said to someone who is much smaller than him in size.
"Do you three really think that my grandmother, Queen Tukta, her good friends and allies, Angalifu, Mekong and Sariah, my own little sister, Kyra, and her friends, and all the other animals in this here forest really cares for you and loves you three so much? Hahahaha, please, you three are just small and useless animals, and nobody really cares for you or loves any of you either, and as a matter of fact, it's all just a facade.", and when Maisie, Riley and Cheeky all heard what he said, they gasped with shock and with fright as they started to believe his lies.
Meanwhile, Kyra and her friends all started to worry about Maisie, Riley and Cheeky, and so Georgie said "Guys, I'm starting to get pretty much worried about our little buddies.", and then Albert asked him "Should we go looking for them?", before Kyra said "I think we should, because I don't think that everyone here really wants our little friends to stay and live here with all of us.", before Opey added in agreement "Yes, something smells really bad around here, and it seems that at least one animal of our herds doesn't really likes Maisie, Riley and Cheeky because of the small, friendly, cute and lovable animals they are.", before Milton interrupted them all and said "So what are we all waiting for? Let's go look for them right now! Let's go find them!", and when the four other animal friends all heard what their young tapir friend said, they agreed that they should go look for Maisie, Riley and Cheeky and see what's really going on with them.
Meanwhile, back behind the nearby trees, Maisie, Riley and Cheeky were all crying and begging for mercy from Shufai as the adolescent male Indian elephant held them all by their tails with his trunk and at about seven feet above the ground, which was enough to scare then all to death because of their small sizes, before Maisie cried and begged "P-please, M-Mister Sh-Shufai! D-don't do this to us! W-we did n-nothing bad to you!", but Shufai just said back "Ha! Like I even should care about what you and your two friends say, you three little rodents!", and then he added "Now, face the wrath of a bull Indian elephant like me and see for yourself what it's like and also how it feels like!", and then he laughed at all three of them like a bully while he's still holding them upside down by their tails with his trunk.
When Kyra and her four non-elephant best friends all went past the trees, they all gasped in shock to see Shufai tormenting and bullying the three little baby animal friends by holding them by their tails with his trunk and at about seven feet above the ground, and they also saw that Maisie, Riley and Cheeky are shaking in fear and are looking frightened and terrified, while Shufai himself just smiled mischievously at them, before Kyra then stepped forward and called for her older brother "Shufai, stop doing that to them this instance!", before Opey also stepped forward and added "Let them go or else we're telling on you to our elders and to our leaders!", and when Shufai saw the five young animal friends looking with angry faces directly at him, he realized that he's been caught while still bullying Maisie, Riley and Cheeky, and so he carefully moved his trunk down, and eventually he placed the three little baby animal friends on the solid ground safely, thus making them feel calm down from their shaking and fear for a little bit as they're now standing back on solid ground.
Then, Maisie, Riley and Cheeky all ran up to Kyra and then they hugged her tightly on her left foreleg and burst into tears, before the young Indian elephant turned to look down at them and then she gently stroked at their backs with her trunk and said "Shhh, it's okay, my three little friends. Don't pay attention to my older brother. He's always behaving like this when he meets someone who is new to him.", before Opey interrupted and added "Yes, but don't worry about him. We won't let him do you three any more harm. That's a promise.", but when Shufai heard what his own little sister and one of her best friends said to the three little baby animal friends about him being mean when he meets someone who is new to him, the adolescent male Indian elephant gave a disgusted look before he turned away with a huff, thus showing that he doesn't likes or wants Maisie, Riley and Cheeky to stay and live with the families and with the herds (including and especially his own family and herd).
Then, Shufai said as he looked down at his own little sister and at her friends (and particularly at Maisie, Riley and Cheeky) "Fine, you're welcome to stay and live with me and with my family, as well as with all the herds in this here forest.", but then he quickly added as he gave them an insulting (yet last) warning "Just don't let me catch you three doing one wrong step, one wrong move, or do something bad to my little sister, to her friends or to any of the families and herds living in this here forest, and I promise you three that you will suffer in the harshest of ways, because who even needs three little mice like you if you (talking to himself) can protect and defend yourself, your family and your entire herd because you're a big animal?!", and then he finished and said to Maisie, Riley and Cheeky "Face it, you three little rodents - you don't belongs with all of us, because this is a place for only big animals like elephants, okapis, Sumatran rhinos, tapirs and gorillas, not for some useless little animals like you three who can't even protect and defend yourselves!", and then he finally turned away with a scowl on his face and he started to walk away from Kyra, her friends and the three little baby animals, who were all in shock to hear what the adolescent male Indian elephant just said about Maisie, Riley and Cheeky.
However, Kyra and her friends soon shook their heads and snapped out of their shocked states before they all turned and then looked down at the three little baby animal friends, before Kyra gently caressed their heads with her trunk and said to them "Shhh, it's okay, our three little friends. We won't let my big brother do you any harm or threaten you like that.", before Opey added as she stroked them down their backs with a free cloven forehoof "Shufai always acts like this way when he meets new animals who are much smaller than him in size, but we won't let him just bully you three and get away with that.", and then Georgie added as he gently pulled all three little baby animals and moved them all close to his chest to hug them (and also to let them hug him back) "It's okay, Maisie, Riley and Cheeky. We assure you all that you're indeed in good hands, and we will never let anyone make you feel pain or make you think that you don't belong here just because of your small sizes. You're the strongest animals that I've ever met, because even though you lost your moms to that big bad female African bush elephant, you're still able to see that not all elephants are ferocious monsters, and when Kyra saved your lives and nearly got killed while doing so, you're still able to see that some of elephant kind still possesses some big good hearts and will never dream of doing to small, friendly, cute and lovable animals like you three any harm. Trust me, and all of my friends.", and then he gave the three little baby animal friends a kind and reassuring smile.
However, when nighttime came, the insulting words which Shufai said to the three little baby animal friends managed to sink deep into their minds and make them all scared and afraid, before Maisie asked her friends "I-is that true, my friends?" and then she added "I-is M-Mister Sh-Shufai really t-telling us the t-truth?", and then Riley said "I-I don't know, M-Maisie, because even though we believe in what our friends said, M-Mister Sh-Shufai still s-sounded really s-serious when he t-talked to us.", and then Cheeky added "W-what M-Mister Sh-Shufai said to us surely f-felt so r-real.", as all three little animal friends once again heard Shufai's voice whispering and saying to them in the whispering winds around them "Nobody in this here forest really cares for you three, and that's because you're all just useless little animals, so do me and everyone else who lives here a favor and just go away and leave our home and go back to where you came from.", thus causing and forcing the three poor little baby animal friends to cry themselves to sleep.
