Meanwhile, deep inside the cave, Lysander and Ganda's evil friends are still waiting for them to return back, and after no more than a quarter an hour (15 minutes), Lysander and Ganda finally returned back to the cave to meet up with each other and with all of their evil friends, but then they also entered the cave from opposite entrances of the same cave to meet each other and their evil friends, which tells very clearly that Maisie, Riley, Cheeky and Monica are all coming into the cave soon, but at the same time - so are Shufai and Flower.

Just then, after no more than two short minutes, Maisie, Riley, Cheeky, Monica, Flower and Shufai all entered the villainous animals' cave (from opposite entrances), and when the six ended up running into each other, they all gasped in shock before Maisie, Riley and Cheeky cried in shock "Mister Shufai?!", but then Shufai yelled back "Little rats?!", and then they all asked each other out loud at the same time "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!", but just then, Lysander's evil voice interrupted them all when he said and asked "So, you all know each other, do you?", but then Shufai said "No, I don't know any of them! And by the way, what's with that little cow here?!" as he seemed to clearly notice Monica with the other animal friends.

When Monica realized that Shufai was asking about her (and in a rather insulting tone), she said to him "Well, Mister elephant, I'm Monica, the granddaughter of King Mebaya and Queen Zhenya, the patriarch and matriarch of our family and the leaders of our African buffalo herd.", but then Shufai yelled at her back "Shut up your mouth, you little cow! I'm Shufai, the future leader of Queen Tukta's Indian elephant herd! If you make me angry, I will make sure you and all of your little friends will all regret it!", but when the four animal friends noticed Flower standing next to the adolescent male Indian elephant, this is when Maisie asked her "Hey, who are you?", and then Flower introduced herself and said "Oh, hi there! I'm Flower, and I'm a meerkat! I like to make friends with other animals, and I'm also Shufai's best friend!", before she then hugged at his left foreleg.

However, Shufai clearly didn't liked anything she said, before he then angrily threw the tiny young meerkat away from his left foreleg with an almost brute force, thus causing Flower to fly up in the air and then land on the cave's floor in front of Maisie, Riley, Cheeky and Monica, but luckily, she didn't got hurt when she landed, and therefore she's okay, but that is before Shufai then yelled down at all five younger animals "I was searching for a new home for a while, so may I suggest you all should leave now or else!", but then Cheeky cried "But we're also searching for a new home, Mister Shufai!", but this only made the adolescent male Indian elephant angrier as he then stomped his left foreleg and foot against the cave's floors and looked down at all five young animals with bloodshot eyes, as he appeared willing to attack all of them at once.

However, before something bad could really happen between Shufai and the five youngsters that will cause the adolescent male Indian elephant to mean further more harm to them, Ganda then stepped forward and then she interrupted them all and demanded and said "Enough with the violence! All of you! Now it's time to meet our friends! Lysander and I we're both sure that they all would like to meet all six of you!", and when Shufai heard her saying that, he huffed and then said "Fine!", but then he turned back to the five youngsters and said to them in a threatening tone "But I warn you - if any of you dares to mess up with me, I will make sure that the last thing you all will ever see will be the bottoms of my feet!", before he then turned away from them and started to follow Lysander and Ganda as he was eager to see their friends, as he thought they might be crocodiles and rhinos like the both of them, and Maisie, Riley, Cheeky, Monica and Flower all soon followed behind Shufai and the two evil shape-shifting animals, as they also wanted to know what Lysander and Ganda's friends are all really like.

However, when they all reached the right spot and the exact place inside the cave where all of Lysander and Ganda's evil friends are all still waiting, this is when the shape-shifting crocodile and rhinoceros started calling for all of them to come out of the darkness and the shadows so they can meet the new guests as well, and after a long half a minute, Zenobia, Clayton and Buldeo are the first to run towards them all so they can meet the new guests. However, when Maisie, Riley and Cheeky all saw the three large mammalian carnivores, they soon recognized them (since they already met them before), and so they fearfully stepped aback, and Monica and Flower also did the same, since they too were both afraid of Zenobia, Clayton and Buldeo (despite the two haven't yet seen or met them before), but when the three large mammalian carnivores saw the five young animal friends shaking in fear, they soon gave them fake smiles as they slowly approached them and tried to fool then into believing that they won't do to any of them any harm.

Zenobia was the first to speak to them and so she said "Welcome to our home, little guests! If you like it here, you can all stay and live here with all of us! Just take your time and eventually you all may like it here!", before Clayton also approached the five animal youngsters and said "Yes! If my friend, Zenobia, accepts you all to stay and live here with all of us, then I'm with her too!", and then Buldeo stepped forward as well and said "Feel free to explore this cave and also feel free to stay and live here with all of us! I promise you all that everything will be fine!", and when Monica heard what the three large mammalian carnivores said, she said back "Okay. If you're all going easy on that.", and then Buldeo said to her "Well, little one, I'm pretty sure that the rest of our friends would also like to meet you and your four little friends!", and then he smirked evilly but didn't showed that to any of the animal youngsters, and neither to Shufai himself, who just stood there looking at all three large carnivores and rolled his eyes when he heard the lion of their team speaking up and talking to the five animal youngsters about his other friends would like to meet them all and accept them and let them stay and live in the cave with all of them, which are in that case - the other evil animals in Lysander's great animal team who haven't yet met the youngsters and Shufai himself - Sayla, Akeno and Terrence.

However, just then, an adult female gorilla came out of the darkness and the shadows and it was indeed none other than Sayla herself, and when the gorilla saw the five youngsters and Shufai standing there and looking at her, she said "Well, I see we have here some visitors, isn't it?", but then Shufai asked her "Who are you?", and then Sayla said as she introduced herself "Well, I'm Sayla, and as you can clearly see, my pachyderm friend, I'm a gorilla!", but then Shufai asked her "Did you just called me your friend?", but before she can answer him, Riley interrupted and said "Wow! You're a gorilla just like Georgie!", but when Sayla heard him saying that, she looked down at the five young animal friends and said with a fake smile "What do we have here? Some little baby animals who got lost in the woods and ended up here?", and then Riley introduced himself and said "Well, I'm Riley, and it's my pleasure to meet you, Miss Sayla!", but when she heard him saying 'Miss', the female shape-shifting gorilla couldn't help but chuckle at what he said, thus confusing Riley and his friends, but Shufai didn't seemed to mind that at all, for he wanted to stay away from the five little animals for all he cared.

"He just called me Miss, hahahahaha!" Sayla laughed before she then said back to Riley "There's no need to call me that, kid! My friends simply call me Sayla, and that's exactly my name, so just calling me Sayla will be enough!", and when Riley heard her saying that, he simply said "Okay, Sayla. If you say so.", but then, an evil male voice suddenly yelled "Sayla, who is that?!", but then Sayla turned her head back and called back and said "Some new guests!", but when Shufai and the five youngsters all heard the evil male voice coming from the darkness and from the shadows of the cave, Cheeky asked in a bit of fear "W-who is that?", and then Sayla looked down at him and said "That's Akeno! He's a friend of mine and of all my other friends as well!", and then Shufai asked her "Is he nice?", and then Sayla said back "You'll see very soon!".

Just then, Akeno the okapi trotted heavily towards Sayla to meet the new guests, and when he saw the five little animal youngsters, he asked with a hint of boiling anger "Who is that little cow and who are these little rats?!", and when Sayla heard him saying that to the five little animal youngsters, she said "Well, this is Riley *she pointed and motioned to the little fennec fox with an arm and a hand of her own*, and these four other animals are his friends!", and then Riley said "Hi there, Sir! I'm Riley, and these are my friends - Maisie, Cheeky, Monica and Flower!", and then all four other animal youngsters said to Akeno in unison (without Riley himself) "Hi there, Mister Okapi! It's nice to meet you!".

However, when Akeno heard them all saying that to him, he just said "Ah, please! My name is Akeno! And by the way, I'm giving you all a fair warning - if you mess with some things up, then may I suggest that you should all leave the cave and never return! Is that understood?!", and when they all heard him saying that, Monica said back without the others "We promise you that we'll make ourselves useful!", and then Shufai said to the okapi "And I promise you that I will be a much better assistant than these five little babies! After all, I'm much larger and stronger than all five of them at once!", but when Akeno heard what he said and then he turned to look at him, the okapi asked "What are you? An Indian elephant?", but then Shufai said "I'm not just AN Indian elephant, I'm Queen Tukta's chosen grandson! I'm among her oldest grandchildren, and I'm supposed to be the future leader of her family and of her entire herd!", and when Akeno heard him saying that, he said back to the adolescent male Indian elephant "Very well then, you can be much more useful even more than these five little brats!", and when they all heard him saying that, Maisie, Riley, Cheeky, Monica and Flower all said in unison "Hey!", but Shufai said to him "Thank you so much!".

Then, Akeno said "Now, I'm pretty sure that my friend, Terrence, would like to meet you! He's really nice once you get to know him!", and when Shufai heard what he said, he asked "Are you sure he would like me?", and then Akeno said back "Yes, he would! He would like to make friends with another elephant like you!", but then Monica suddenly interrupted and asked "Wait, what? Is that Terrence who is a friend of yours ANOTHER elephant like Shufai himself?", and when Akeno heard what she said, he lowered his head and neck down to look at her and at her four smaller friends in the eyes and then he said to them "Sure he is! But don't you dare make him really angry, because he can be very hostile when someone messes up with him, even if that someone is some stupid little animals like all five of you!", thus shocking the five animal youngsters when they all heard the okapi saying that to all of them.

Then, he turned to look back at Shufai and then he said "Follow me!", and then he turned around and started to walk away and deeper into the darkness and into the shadows of the cave, and Shufai and the youngsters soon followed behind him to see where he's going, or better to say - where he's actually leading them to. After they followed Akeno for about three minutes, Shufai and the youngsters all ended up meeting with all of Akeno's evil friends (all the other evil animals), but just then, they all suddenly heard loud and heavy footsteps as well as trumpeting roars coming from the darkness and from the shadows of the even deeper parts of the cave right in front of them.

When the heavy footsteps got closer and the trumpeting roars got louder, Shufai, the youngsters and the seven evil animals all saw Terrence coming out from the darkness and from the shadows of the even deeper parts of the cave right in front of them, and when Maisie, Riley, Cheeky, Monica and Flower all saw the adult male African bush elephant coming closer and closer, they fearfully went below Shufai and hid all together underneath his huge underbelly because they were all afraid of his (Terrence's) even larger size, which was indeed even larger than Topsy's, who is an adult female African bush elephant, but Shufai just gasped in shock and surprise to see Terrence coming towards him, before the older male elephant ended up stopping just about ten feet away from him and looked at him in the eyes to inspect him (particularly - his face).

Then, Terrence asked him "Who are you, Indian elephant?", and then Shufai answered "My name is Shufai, and as a matter of fact, I'm one of Queen Tukta's grandchildren and the chosen heir of her Indian elephant family and herd.", but then he added as he frowned down and looked away from the older male elephant "Well, I was until my own grandmother chose to banish me away from my family, from my herd and even from my own home for good, so you can say about me that I'm looking for a new home.", and when Terrence heard Shufai saying that, the adult male African bush elephant asked "Why did your own grandmother dared to banish you away from your own home?", and just then, Shufai felt the five small and young animal friends shaking underneath his standing body and hiding behind his forelegs, and so he angrily looked down and stepped aback so he can show them all to Terrence, and then he pointed down at them threateningly with his trunk and said "Because of them!", thus causing Maisie, Riley, Cheeky, Monica and Flower to gasp in shock and cower in fear all together as now both Shufai and Terrence are looking down at all of them.

Then, Terrence said "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. What do we have here?", but then Maisie cried "P-please, go away!", but then Terrence said "Well, even little animals like you CAN sense evil!", and then he added and said "I'm Terrence! One of the eight members of this animal team! The largest member of them all!", but then he quickly added with the nicest voice he ever talked with "But it's also a pleasure to meet you all, little ones!", and then he tried and pretended to be nice to them, thus making Shufai feel disappointed as he thought that even an elephant (particularly an adult male) who is bigger than him (much like Lin Raju the Mammophant himself) would actually be that kind of friendly to these five little animal youngsters, before he then stepped aback to give them some space and turned with his own head away with a huff.

However, when Terrence stopped pretending to be kind and gentle to the five animal youngsters, he then turned to his friends and said to them in a demanding tone "My friends, Please take these new little guests to the spot where they'll all be sleeping tonight!", and when Sayla heard him saying that, she said back "Affirmative!" and then she went up to the five animal youngsters and said to all of them "You heard what Terrence said? Let's go get you to your sleeping spots!", and then she started taking them away from Shufai, who became relieved to see them moving with Sayla leading them away from him, but then he's suddenly being approached by Ganda and Lysander and then they both said evilly to him "Come with us and we'll show you where you're going to be sleeping tonight, big guy!", and Shufai said "Okay.", but then he was also unsure if to really trust the crocodile and the rhinoceros, so he reluctantly started following behind them.

However, after he walked with them for about a few minutes, Shufai, Lysander and Ganda all reached one of the two entrances of the cave, and in that case - it was the one through which the young animal friends (minus Flower, who went with Shufai from the other entrance) came and went into the cave, and once Shufai, Lysander and Ganda exited and left the cave, Shufai asked "Where am I going to be sleeping tonight?", and then Lysander and Ganda turned back and yelled out loud at him together "OUTSIDE!", and when Shufai realized that he's not going to be sleeping inside the cave tonight, he asked in shock "What?! Why?!", and then Ganda said to him "Because our cave isn't yet fit in for you to stay and live in!", and then Lysander added "Yeah! Come back when you're feeling ready!", but then Shufai said "But I am feeling ready!", but then Ganda said to him "No, you're not!" before Lysander added "And tonight, you will be sleeping outside!", and then they both went back into the cave and they used their evil magic to levitate a massive rock and then they used it to block the entrance back to the cave so Shufai can no longer go back inside the cave and sleep inside it for tonight, thus causing him to frown in shame as now he have no other choice but to sleep outside for tonight.

Later, when nighttime came, everyone slept inside the cave, Kyra, Opey and her mother and the rest of the searching party got reunited again with Lin Raju and then they all went to find someplace to sleep for the night before they will resume their search for the missing youngsters in the next morning, and so they ended up finding a good place to sleep under some big and tall trees, but Shufai, however, is sleeping outside the cave with a pained expression on his face, thus showing that now he's the one who is suffering and is in great pain, and he's not having any good dreams either, instead - he's having bad ones, but this one, however, would prove to be his worst nightmare he ever had.

In his nightmare, Shufai found himself in a dark an empty void, which soon changed and turned into the Everfree Forest, and when he turned to his left, Shufai saw his family and his entire herd minding and tending to the five youngsters and paying no attention to him at all, thus making Shufai confused as he didn't know what's going on, and so he went up to all the others to see for himself what's really going on, and when he reached close enough to his herd, Shufai asked "What's going on, everyone?", before he looked down to see the five youngsters playing and having some fun with his own little sister Kyra, and when he saw them playing and having some fun with her, Shufai asked his little sister "Hey, little sister. What's going on?" and then he touched Cheeky down on the back with his trunk, but when he did so, something scary and disgusting suddenly happened in front of his eyes - the moment he touched the little jerboa, he started melting into goo in front of his eyes before becoming nothing more than a tiny puddle of goo, thus causing Shufai to yelp and step aback in fear when that suddenly happened.

Then, when Maisie, Riley, Monica, Flower and even Kyra saw what happened to Cheeky, they looked up at Shufai with fear in their eyes, and when Shufai tried to reach out his trunk and asked "Little sister, what's going on? What did just happened?", Kyra and the four other youngsters stepped aback from him before Kyra cried "Please, stay away from us, you big bad bully! If you touch us - THIS will happen to us!", but then Shufai said "I didn't mean for this to happen to your little friend! Please, forgive me, Kyra! You're my little sister!", but Kyra kept herself away from him and than she cried "No! I won't ever forgive you, Shufai! You're not my big brother anymore! You're a ferocious and unforgivable monster!", and when Shufai heard his own little sister saying this to him while fearing and hating him at the same time, he gasped in shock as he felt himself, and particularly his heart being crushed by a boulder to a million pieces, thus causing tears of heartbreak and great pain to start forming in his eyes as he couldn't believe what his own little sister just said to him, especially when she actually called him a monster.

Then, Maisie, Riley, Monica and Flower all stepped forward and then they all said and demanded all together "Go away and don't come back, you big bully!", and then they turned to run away from him, before Shufai cried and said "No, wait!" and then he stepped and went forward after them as he reached out his trunk and so he ended up touching at the end of Maisie's tail with the tip of his trunk, thus causing her to scream as she soon started melting into goo like Cheeky did, and once Maisie became a puddle of goo, Kyra and the three other youngsters cried all together "MAISIE!", before they turned back to look at him and then they yelled "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!", but then Shufai said "I didn't mean for this to happen to her! It was all just an accident!", and then he stepped forward and reached out with his trunk as he wanted to touch them, but then Kyra screamed at the top of her lungs "EVERYBODY, RUN!", and then she, Riley, Monica and Flower all started to run away, but then Shufai started chasing after them and he called and begged as more tears started forming in his eyes "No, wait! Please, come back!".

During the chase, he ended up touching Riley, Monica and Flower, thus resulting in them melting into puddles of goo, and when Kyra noticed that, she called Shufai a monster again as she then resumed her escaping from him and continued to run for her life, but that is until she ended up running towards a tall cliff above a bottomless chasm, but luckily for her, she managed to stop herself dead in her tracks just seconds before she can go over the edge of the cliff. However, Shufai soon managed to catch up with his little sister and then he said to her with tears in his eyes "I'm so sorry for everything bad I said to these poor little friends of yours! I didn't know they're all in pain! I'm so sorry!", but then Kyra cried "Too late! Now leave me alone or else you'll turn me into goo like you did to all of my new little friends!", but then Shufai stepped forward and approached her, and once he was close enough, Shufai reached out his trunk and then he touched, grabbed and held tightly at the end of Kyra's smaller trunk, and then he said to her tears and begged "Please, don't hate me, little sister! I love you, and I'm so sorry for everything I did! Please, forgive me!".

However, just like all the youngsters, Kyra started to melt into a puddle of goo as well upon being touched by Shufai, and when he saw his little sister melting into a puddle of goo in front of his eyes, Shufai cried "No! Please, Kyra! My lovely little sister! Don't leave me!", but it was too late as Kyra already became a puddle of goo, thus causing Shufai to finally break down in tears as he couldn't them back in his eyes anymore, before he then stepped forward towards the edge of the tall cliff above the bottomless chasm and then he yelled with great pain in his heart "WHAT HAVE I DONE?!", but then, shortly after he yelled that, the edge of the tall cliff which he was standing on suddenly broke apart and fell right below his feet, thus soon sending Shufai falling down the tall cliff and plummeting into the dark and bottomless chasm below, and while falling down into his doom, Shufai screamed "NOOOOOOOOO!" as he soon disappeared into the darkness of the bottomless chasm below.

However, this is when Shufai quickly opened his eyes and snapped awake from his horrible nightmare and then he started to breath heavily as he felt like he almost really died, before he then started to look him and found himself still outside the cave and that it's still the middle of the night, and just in the exact same place where he fell asleep, but when Shufai remembered his horrible nightmare happening all over again in his mind, he then said and asked himself "Maybe it's true? Maybe I am a ferocious monster?", and then he added as he soon jumped into false conclusions "Now I think I see the real truth - I don't deserve to return to live with my own family and with my entire herd back in my home...ever again...", and so he thought that now nobody, not even his own family and/or his entire herd wants him around anymore, before Shufai felt tears forming and rolling down his eyes and then he started to cry, as for the first time in his life since he was just a little baby calf, Shufai felt completely helpless and he started having regrets for all of his bad actions he already have done against all kinds of small (or young) animals during his own life, with the last ones were against the five animal youngsters, and when Shufai realized all the huge mistakes that he have done so far in his life, he said to himself "What have I done...?" as he then cried himself back to sleep.
