Meanwhile, King Mebaya, Queen Zhenya, their daughter, Cheeky and Flower and all the rest of the African buffalo herd are all still traveling and running together as fast they all can towards the forest to find Monica and her friends, and at the same time, King Mebaya thought of the perfect plan and of the wisest decision which will help saving Monica and her friends from Akeno, Terrence and all their evil friends, which (of course) will be that the herd will stand against the enemies and fight all together against them (since Akeno, Terrence and their evil friends, with Topsy included, are just nine animals in total).

Meanwhile, back in the cave, Shufai, the youngsters, the parents (with Marjan is now included) and the two other adult animals are still searching for a way out of the cave, but that is until they all suddenly saw a source of sunlight coming from right ahead of them, and so they all quickly ran towards the light and finally found themselves out of the cave and back outside in the forest, but then they still continued to travel and run away as fast as they all can in order to get themselves very far away and to disappear from the evil animals' eyesights in case they come out of the cave to look for them (in case they realized that they've already managed to escape from the cave).

Later, after a few minutes of running really fast to escape from the villainous animals, the good animals finally slowed down until they all started walking at the normal pace instead, and as they continued to walk in the forest, Shufai said "If anything bad happens to that poor little meerkat, I will never forgive myself!", but then Lin Raju placed his trunk on top of his back and neck and then he said to him "Hey, it's okay, Shufai. It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself for something that Akeno, Terrence and all their evil friends have done. I'm sure Flower is fine and that she's probably trying to find us all, and so, I bet, is Cheeky also okay and is also looking for us as well.", and then he added "Don't blame yourself for their disappearance. I'm pretty sure that they're both still alive and well and that they're fine and looking for all of us right now. So, what am I saying here is that it's not your fault at all. I promise you that you did nothing wrong to cause Flower and Cheeky's disappearance. That's all I have to say to you about it. Nothing more and nothing else.".

Meanwhile, back with the African buffalo herd, they (and Cheeky and Flower) all finally managed to reach the forest, after they traveled for a few long minutes, and then King Mebaya said tothe the rest of his herd to follow behind him as he was the first to enter the forest in search for his granddaughter and for her friends, with Queen Zhenya (his mate) soon following behind him, and then the rest of the herd slowly entered the forest and started to search for Monica and for her friends (with Cheeky and Flower coming along).

Inside the forest, the whole African buffalo herd started searching for Monica and also for her friends everywhere, and then Cheeky and Flower called out for her and for the other, but just then, as soon as Cheeky and Flower screamed for their friends, they and the whole African buffalo herd all suddenly heard loud rumbling sounds of footsteps running fast and coming towards them, and with each passing minute, the loud rumbling sounds of footsteps got stronger and closer, and that is until they all suddenly heard a loud trumpeting roar which Cheeky and Flower soon recognized as they both knew who's coming for them, and after no more or less than three minutes since the trumpeting roar was heard, everyone saw Shufai coming towards them with all the others (including Monica) following behind him, and when they saw Monica for the first time since she got separated from the rest of her herd, King Mebaya, Queen Zhenya and their adult daughter all went up to meet her and her new friends (and also to reunite with their precious Monica).

However, as they finally got reunited with each other, something really funny (yet also a bit painful) suddenly happened - Shufai suddenly grabbed Flower away from Monica's mother's back with his trunk, and then he wrapped his trunk around her body and waist and then he started crying hysterically and he said "Oh, Flower! I missed you so much! I thought I lost you forever! Please forgive me for me not being able to hold you up in my trunk so you wouldn't have gotten transported somewhere else!", but while he's crying hysterically (and exaggeratingly), Shufai didn't even realized that he's accidentally choking Flower in his trunk, but that is until she barely cried and pleaded "Shufai, I'm okay, but right now you're choking me with your trunk! I can't breath! Please, let me go!", and when Shufai realized that she's almost unable to breath because of him wrapping his trunk too tightly around her body, he gasped in shock before he quickly lowered down with his forelegs and then he unwrapped his trunk from around the young meerkat's tiny body so to let her catch her breath, but still, Shufai was indeed extremely worried about Flower, as she was the one who managed to make him the soft, friendly, kind and sensitive elephant he was when he was just a young elephant, before he was bullied by older elephants into becoming the bad elephant he was for years (but that is of course - until now).

As for Monica, she finally got reunited with her mother, her grandmother (Queen Zhenya), her grandfather (King Mebaya) and the rest of the African buffalo herd, but shortly after they got reunited with one another, one of the African buffaloes, and adult male (who is also part of the herd) suddenly asked "We found our young Monica, and that's one thing. But, where do we go now?", and then another adult male African buffalo agreed with the first one and said and asked "Yeah, we found Monica at last, But where do we gonna live?", and when Shufai heard what they both said about they and their entire herd's searching for a new place where theythe can all live in peace, the adolescent male Indian elephant suddenly interrupted and asked King Mebaya "Can I speak and talk to you and to your entire herd for a minute, Sir?", and when King Mebaya heard what he said, he said back and then asked "Sure, but what for?", and then Shufai said back to the African buffalo patriarch and beloved male leader "You'll hear very soon, and it's really important.".

Then, King Mebaya called out for his entire herd "Everyone, listen up! This young male Indian elephant here have something he wants to say to all of us! Let's hear him out!" and when all the African buffaloes heard what their patriarch and beloved male leader said, they all stood still and looked directly at Shufai like a huge crowd, and this is when Shufai spoke up and said "Okay, everyone! Listen up! I just heard two of you talking about your searching for a new place where you all can stay and live in peace for the rest of your lives, is that true?", and then one of the adult male African buffaloes said "Yes! Our own home was destroyed a few weeks ago!", and when Shufai heard what he said, the adolescent male Indian elephant said back "Hey, It's okay though! Because I know a place where you can all stay and live in peace with all of us - and that is in the Everfree Forest!".

When all the African buffaloes all heard what Shufai said about all of them going to live with the other herds of the Everfree Forest and becoming one of them, all the African buffaloes agreed to go with him and with his friends to the Everfree Forest to have a new home and a place to stay and live in peace, before Shufai said and added "But listen to me, you won't be alone in there! You're going to have many new friends once we get back to the Everfree Forest! There are Indian elephants like me, there are also Gorillas, and there are also Sumatran rhinos, tapirs and even okapis, but then I also have to tell you all that the okapis are leaderless after what one of their own kind did to all of them!".

When all the African buffaloes heard him saying and coming up with the part which will tell them all about what happened to the okapis that caused them to become leaderless, they all suddenly gave him curious looks as they suddenly became interested in what he's going to say next. Then, Shufai said and explained "The matriarch and beloved leader of the okapis, Asha, was a good leader who cared for her whole family and for other animals too and she had a kind heart, but now she's gone because one of her own nephews, a rough, cruel and heartless adult male named Akeno killed her, because she banished him for not letting go of his past and for abusing both humans and ponies just to avenge the deaths of two of his kind, his older brother and his only son, which over time consumed him to the point he became evil!".

Then, Shufai quickly added "After that disgraceful and despicable Akeno killed poor Asha, he used evil magic which he gained and received from his evil friends to brainwash all the adults and all the elders of her family and take them all under his lead so they can be useful for him and for his evil friends in times they need them, but then he decided to leave all the poor okapi youngsters alone without their parents and their elders to care for them, to protect them, and most importantly - love them for the most, as he believed that if he cannot be respected and/or loved for him being evil, then neither will all the okapi youngsters in Asha's family!".

When all the African buffaloes heard what Shufai said about Akeno and about his mad and unforgivable actions, all the adults and all the elders gasped in shock while all the youngsters (all the calves) gasped with fright, before all the adults and elders' eyes quickly filled with anger, and then a random adult female African buffalo (not Monica's mother) said "Such a terrible okapi that Akeno is! And for a herbivore!", and then an adult male added "I wish I can find him and then poke him in the butt with my horns right now!", and then another adult male said "No one deserve such abuse and to have their family separated from them! Especially not some poor little okapis who still need their parents and their elders for the most!", and then a second female African buffalo said with tears of anger forming in her eyes "When I see that evil okapi, I'm going to break his neck! He really deserves it!".

However, Shufai stopped them all and said "Everyone, please! I haven't yet finished everything I wanted to say! What I will say next will shock you all that you all would want to live in the Everfree Forest!", and when they all heard him saying that, all the African buffaloes turned back to look at him again, and that's when Shufai cleared his throat and said "However, ever since Asha's death, my family and my whole herd united with the other herds of the Everfree Forest, and together we all decided to help the young okapis and take good care of all of them so they all will be safe and sound and no harm will come to take them down! They're all safe from the local predators, like Timebrwolves for an instance, and we all make sure that they all get all the respect and love they all truly deserve for the most!".

When all the African buffaloes all heard what Shufai said about that all the herds in the Everfree Forest are working together to protect and take care of all of the young okapis, they all gasped in shock and they were all surprised before one of them, an elderly female, said and asked "If all these poor little okapis have someone to take care of them like all of you, do you think it will be okay if we also help you with taking care of them?", and when Shufai heard what she said, he said back "Yes, of course you can all help! Having all of you as our newest neighbors will mean a 24/7/ protection for all the young okapis!", but that is before Opey suddenly interrupted and said "Well, except for me of course! I already have managed to get both my mommy and my daddy back to me! But I can assure you that they too will help us all protect and care for all the rest of my herd-mates who are all around my own age!".

Then, Shufai said as he introduced both of Opey's newly reformed and redeemed parents to all the African buffaloes "Everyone, these two adult okapis are the mother and father of Opey, my little sister's okapi friend, and they both have managed to snap out of Akeno's brainwashing and they're now on our side! They too will be coming back with us to the Everfree Forest to help us protect and care for all the rest of the young okapis who still have their parents and elders still under Akeno's control!", and then he added "If you all come along and unit your own herd with our herds, we'll be able to fight all together against some of our worst enemies who wants to wipe all of us out and take control of our entire world!".

However, just then, a familiar elderly female voice suddenly called out Shufai's name, and when everyone suddenly heard that voice, Shufai swallowed nervously as he knew to who that voice belonged - it was his grandmother (none other than Queen Tukta herself), and when he looked over all the African buffaloes, Shufai saw Queen Tukta and his mother following her in tow as both female Indian elephants approached to meet him again, but when Shufai saw mother and his grandmother again, he shook in fear and stepped aback before he said "Grandma?! Mom?! What are you both doing here?!", and then Queen Tukta said to him "We came here looking for you and for the others and see if you finally managed to make friends with the poor little ones whom you bullied and chased away, and also to see if you apologized to them for your actions!", but then Shufai and Kyra's mother added "But instead of only doing that, you also found an entirely new herd of African buffaloes who can join us and live with all of us back home in the Everfree Forest!".

However, when Shufai heard what his grandmother and his mother both said to him, he stepped aback a little bit more and then he said "It's not what you both think! I just made a huge mistake that cannot be fixed! I don't deserve to see you both again after what I've done!", but then Queen Tukta approached him and then she stroked at the top and at the back of his neck with her trunk and then she said "Shufai, I'm so proud of you! Now that you learned to be a good elephant and love and befriend other animals, both big and small, I'm glad to say that you deserve to take my place and become the leader of my herd after I'll die!", but when Shufai what his grandmother said, he quickly backed away from her and cried "No! I don't deserve to be the leader of your family and/or of your entire herd! I'm a complete monster! Just like these Topsy and Terrence already are!", but then his mother said "Shufai, you're not like these two no good African bush elephants who already have done things worse than you did! I know you're a good elephant, but you just didn't wanted anyone to see that you're good! I know that, because when you're younger, I saw you being bullied by the older elephants in the herd into becoming who you aren't!".

However, Shufai cried "No! I don't deserve anything anymore! I was a bad elephant before, and therefore you don't really love me or forgive me for who I was back then!", but then Kyra said "But I love you, big brother! Ever since I was born, I always looked up to you and I also liked you so much, even if you didn't really liked me that much back then!", but then Shufai cried "Enough! I don't know what to think anymore!" and then he started running away from everyone else and started searching for a way out of the forest, and when they all saw him leaving like that, they all decided to follow him and try to show him that Queen Tukta and his mother really do loves him and forgives him for his mistakes which he have done back then when he was a bully.

After a few minutes of chasing after Shufai, everyone (and Shufai himself) finally managed to find their way out of the forest, but then that's also when everyone caught up with Shufai and tried to show and reassure him that Queen Tukta and his mother are not angry or mad at him, but then an awfully familiar female voice suddenly called and said to him "Hey you, Asian elephant!", and when everyone (including Shufai himself) heard the voice, they all turned to see Topsy with Terrence following her in tow, and right behind them - all the other evil animals are following them, but rather than coming to re-imprison them all (with all the African buffaloes now included) the villainous animals stopped just a few yards away from the army of good animals, with Topsy staring Shufai right in the face before she then said "Let's see how strong you are for an elephant! I may be a female, but I'm still challenging you to a duel, because you have a pair of tusks on your face just like me!".

However, when everyone heard what she said, Kyra cried "You leave my big brother alone, you monster!", but then Topsy said "I was not talking to you, you dummy little calf!" and then she looked again at Shufai and said to him "What do say about us having a duel? Huh? Just the two of us! It's going to be just YOU and ME!", and when Shufai heard what she said, he stepped forward and then he said "Okay, that's fine! I'm in!", but then his and Kyra's mother said with a worried look on her face "Shufai...". Then, Topsy said to Shufai "This is going to be a fight of one-on-one, you got it?!", and when he heard what she said, Shufai nodded and said "Right!", and then Topsy said "I will make a deal with you, Okay? If I win, you and all of your filthy friends are coming along with me, with my mate, Terrence, and with our friends!", but then she quickly added "But, if you win, you and all of your filthy friends are free to go back home!", and then she said and asked evilly and also a bit loudly "Is that understood?!", and when Shufai heard what she said, he nodded again and said "I understand!", and when Topsy heard him saying that, she said back "Okay then! So let's fight!", and then all the other animals quickly stepped aback to give both Shufai and Topsy enough space so they can fight.

Then, Shufai and Topsy started kicking and digging in the battlefield ground while facing each other and started moving their heads up and down and then left to right to prepare themselves to fight each other, and once they're ready, Shufai and Topsy charged towards each other and then they started fighting in front of everyone's eyes, as both the good and the bad animals watched from both sides of the battlefield and saw how Shufai is willing to defeat Topsy in order to show everyone (the good animals, on his side) that he's worthy to live as a strong elephant and that he deserves to be the future king of the Indian elephant herd.

During the fight with Topsy, Shufai said to her as he kept fighting against her "I will never give up to you, Topsy!", and then he rammed his head down at her left foreleg and added "I will save my family and all of my friends!", and then he said as he went up to her side and then kicked her in the stomach with his right hind leg "You're such a coward, and a vicious monster!", and then he finished as he went up to her other side and then kicked her on the other side of the stomach with his left hind leg "And I will DEFEAT YOU!", thus causing Topsy to cry in pain from his attacks, though she was also shocked at the same time by his will to keep standing up to her and fighting her to save his family and all of his friends from her, from Terrence and from the rest of the evil animals' team.

Then, after a few more long minutes of fighting each other, both Shufai and Topsy are both seriously injured, and Topsy seemed to be weaker than Shufai is, but that wasn't before the two charged and then pushed as hard as they still can with their heads and tusks against each other in other to take the other opponent down, and after a head-and-tusks-pushing struggle, Shufai finally came out the winner when he managed to push Topsy as hard as he could and with all his might and caused her to eventually lose her balance and fall down onto her side, thus defeating her in their duel.

When all the good animals saw Shufai winning against Topsy (who was also an opponent who was much bigger than him in size, despite she's a female), they all cheered for him as he slowly turned around and walked back to join everyone who were on his side, and once he got back to everyone, Shufai got swallowed by a massive group hug from everyone else on his side. However, when Terrence saw his mate lying down defeated after she lost in the duel against Shufai, he looked at Shufai with anger burning in the older male elephant's remaining right eye, before he then suddenly charged angrily towards Shufai, but then Lin Raju noticed him coming and so he quickly pulled away from the rest of good animals and then he quickly stopped Terrence by using his mammoth-like tusks and his sheer size to fend him off and then forcefully push him away, before he then stomped his left foreleg and foot against the ground and said "Run! Run away, Terrence! Run away with all of your evil friends, and never return!", and when Terrence heard what the angry Mammophant said to him, he gave Lin Raju a sour and scowling face and then he said "You will pay with your own life! You haven't seen the last of us! We'll all be back, Lin Raju the Mammophant!", before he angrily turned around with a huff and walked away and went back to his friends, and then he used his magic to carry Topsy along to somewhere safe where she can heal from her wounds (since she's injured but not killed), and so Terrence and all of his evil friends all left in anger as they got Topsy defeated (but not destroyed) by Shufai.

Once the villainous animals are gone (for now), Shufai said to both his grandmother and to his mother with tears in his eyes "I'm sorry I ran away from you like this! I was just ashamed of myself, and I wanted to prove myself to you and to everyone else here that I'm a strong elephant who deserves to be the future king of our family and of our whole herd, that's all!", but then Queen Tukta and her adult daughter wrapped their trunks around his own trunk and held tightly onto it, before the Indian elephant queen said "It's okay, Shufai. I understand. We all do understand you. You're a good elephant and you do deserve to be the king of our family and of our whole herd when it's my time to go and leave you all behind, but even so, I will still be with you deep in your heart. I promise.".

With these words being said, everyone finally started to go back home all together, and on the way home, Shufai also said goodbye to Flower as he and everyone else first stopped by the meerkats' homelands to give Flower back to her own family and friends, and despite Shufai was sad when he said goodbye to Flower as he returned her back to her own family, he knew that they will still meet each other again someday, and after he and everyone else left the meerkats' homelands, they all continued on their way back to the Everfree Forest, and after a few more hours of traveling together, everyone finally arrived back home in the Everfree Forest all together (and at last), and even though it has already turned nighttime by now, everyone were all tired, but they were also very happy to be back home at last, and the African buffalo herd officially became the Everfree Forest's new inhabitants and united themselves together with the five other herds, thus representing more animals and giving more life to the Everfree Forest.
