However, just as things looked bleak for Stephan as his evil father is about to beat him again (like he always did to him before), Stephan suddenly felt two shadows over him before he opened his eyes to see that both Chloe and Aylene had trotted and ran and then they both jumped and flew up into the air and landed right on Howard's lower horse back, and Howard barely had time to react before Chloe suddenly grabbed him by the back of the neck with botha hands and started choking him in order to make him get away from Stephan and leave him be, and then Aylene joined in with her move as she then grabbed onto Howard's upper humanoid back and then she opened her mouth and so she sunk her teeth right into Howard's left shoulder, directly into his muscles, thus causing to scream and roar in pain as he then turned around to see Chloe and Aylene attacking him while they're working together, just like a couple of wolves who are trying to save their injured or wounded pack mate from a very large adult male Grizzly bear who is much bigger and stronger than them.
Then, Chloe yelled at Howard in anger "YOU LEAVE STEPHAN ALONE, YOU BIG OLD JERK!" before she too sunk her teeth into the back of his neck and caused him more pain, but then when the girl and the Pegasus let go their biting from Howard's neck and shoulder, they soon started punching and kicking the demonic centaur all over his upper and lower backs, and Chloe and Aylene growled in anger as they both kept working together as they continued attacking and wounding Howard, causing him to scream in pain as they tried to take him down with all their might, despite he's much bigger and stronger than the both of them together.
Then, Aylene also yelled at Howard in anger "YOU MESS UP WITH OUR BEST FRIEND - YOU MESS UP WITH THE BOTH OF US, YOU EVIL MONSTER!", but as Chloe and Aylene kept twisting around him and attacking him more and more, Howard yelled angrily at the two girls as he barely fought back against the both of them "YOU TWO GET OFF MY BACK RIGHT NOW, YOU TWO CRAZY DOGS!", and so he started slapping hard, punching and bucking around in pure rage and in madness like a wrangled bull with the upper body of a tall and strong man, and while he's trying everything he can to fight back against the two girls, Chloe and Aylene turned to look at Stephan for a moment before they shouted to him in unison while they're both still fighting his evil father "RUN, STEPHAN! RUN, QUICKLY! GO GET MOTHER AND AUNT LUNA AND ALL THE OTHERS!".
However, Stephan didn't wanted to leave his two female best friends alone with the hostile and demonic adult male centaur, and he cried back "NO! I CAN'T LEAVE YOU TWO ALONE WITH HIM! HE'LL TEAR YOU APART FROM LIMB TO LIMB! HE'LL DESTROY YOU TWO IN A FEW MINUTES!", but then the two girls called for him back and yelled "GO NOW, STEPHAN! DO AS WE SAY! IT'S THE ONLY WAY! WE'LL KEEP YOUR FATHER BUSY! NOW GO!", and when Stephan heard what Chloe and Aylene both said to him, he couldn't believe that they're actually serious with what they're both really saying to him, and so with tears forming in his eyes, the teenage male centaur started to gallop away and went into the hallway as fast as he could and then, after a few short minutes, he went out of the royal castle and left and continued to gallop as fast as he could to find the princesses and the mane seven and tell them to go back with him to save Chloe and Aylene, who are both still doing their best to fight Howard with all their might as they both tried to take him down, and Howard is fighting back in pure rage as he started seeing red as looked again and again at both Chloe and Aylene right in the eyes.
However, Chloe and Aylene didn't stopped attacking him, and seeing Howard looking at them right in the eyes only made them both feel even more angrier than before, and so they continued to punch and kick him all over his head and neck, and their fists and hooves were significantly effective and started leaving many bruises on the evil centaur's head and neck as he slapped, punched and bucked everywhere in anger as he tried to shake both Chloe and Aylene off himself so he can start beating them for continuously wounding him, but Chloe and Aylene managed to dodge most of his moves before they got a very good double punch into Howard's left eye, causing him to shriek in pain as he slammed against a wall before swinging his head and neck wildly and grazing both Chloe on the right cheek and Aylene on the left cheek with his bighorn sheep-like horns.
However, Chloe and Aylene ignored the pain they just received as Howard bucked his horse legs up, thus making Chloe and Aylene's lower halves of each of their bodies flail around as they and Howard slammed together against another wall, and then Howard tried to force the human girl and the young Pegasus mare off himself by dragging their legs and hind hooves against the wall. Luckily, however, before the wall can do any real damage as it just tore away the pant legs of each of their disguises, Chloe and Aylene had managed to scoop up a couple of vases from a medium-sized table that Howard just knocked over as they flailed down the hall, and then with all their might, Chloe and Aylene smashed both of the vases over the hostile and ferocious centaur's head.
Howard felt himself get dazed and dizzy from the double blow and toppled over face first while Chloe and Aylene slammed against the sides of each of his horns and sustained a couple of bruised foreheads as they then moved to the sides and then they bit into Howard's ears and punche at his head repeatedly. However, Howard quickly shook off the blows just to feel the girl and the Pegasus' teeth sinking into his ears and trying to tear them off, just like how hungry wolves who are trying to tear off the ears of their prey in order to do some damage and keep trying to take it down.
Howard yelled in pain before he was then able to reach up with his arms and hands and started to wrap them around Chloe and Aylene, before he then started choking them with his muscles, but Chloe and Aylene, however, still fought back against Howard's strong arms, hands and muscles and they didn't dare to stop fighting back against the much stronger adult male centaur, for they both felt that they would never stop fighting until their opponent went down for good. Then, Howard yelled at Chloe and Aylene and demanded as they kept fighting against his muscles "Stop fighting against my muscles this instant, you filthy animals!", only to then receive three hard pulls on the left ear from Chloe, who then finally broke free from his muscles' strong grip and then she's joined by Aylene, who managed to escape from the muscles of Howard's right arm and hand, before the two went up to his lower horse back and started punching and kicking him repeatedly in the butt, and then they both screamed together in anger "NO! NO MORE HURTING! NO MORE ABUSE! NO MORE MEANNESS! NO MORE BAD AND ABUSIVE PARENT!", before they jumped off Howard's lower horse back and then they kicked a leg and a foot and a hind leg and hoof of each of theirs and gave a double backward kick directly to Howard's crotch, thus causing him to howl loudly in pain and scream "EYAUUUUUUU!" as he tried to shake away the pain, before he turned around to face both the human girl and the young Pegasus mare, who are both still determined and willing to keep fighting him and finish him off.
However, this is when Howard lit up his hands in his magic before he then started surrounding both Chloe and Aylene in a gray aura, and just then he started to levitate them up into the air and choke them with his magic in anger as now his whole body is covered in wounds, bite marks and bruises all over both his upper and lower bodies which the girl and the Pegasus both have already given him, and as Chloe and Aylene felt themselves being choked by the powerful centaur, tears started forming and rolling down their eyes and they tried their best to fight back against his evil magic, but then Howard used his magic to throw the two girls aside in a brute force and caused them to slam against a wall, before the two fell down and hit the floor and then they desperately tried to stand back up on their feet and hooves again as the evil centaur slowly walked up to them with pure rage still burning in his eyes as he was now willing to destroy both Chloe and Aylene for good, and also for them messing up with him and wounding his whole body during the fight.
However, as Howard approached Chloe and Aylene he felt his ears, neck and shoulders stinging in great pain from all the bite marks that the two gave him, and as the blind rage was still roaring angrily inside his whole body, Chloe and Aylene desperately tried and struggled to stand back up on their feet and hooves and face him again, but that wasn't before Howard did his best to shake away the stinging pain and once he approached and got close enough, he raised up his horse forelegs and then he placed them hard on Chloe and Aylene's chests, thus pinning them back down to the floor and against the wall, before he then started crushing them with each of his cloven hooves in anger and even added more and more pressure with each passing second, before he then said to the two girls "You fought me very well, young girls! But unfortunately for you, I'm going to finish you both, right here and right now!".
However, Chloe and Aylene kept looking up at him in the face with anger as they both had tears in their eyes, as they both could have swore that they're looking right at both Mike (Chloe's older brother) and Black Heart (Aylene's biological mother) as they looked up into Howard's evil eyes, before he then added more pressure and added as his hands started glowing in his magic's gray aura once again "You two for teenagers are such filthy and spoiled brats! I gonna kill you both for all this! Forget the princesses and everyone else! Celestia and Luna can now learn what really happens to young girls who dare to attack adults and disrespect their elders!", and then he said as he showed to both Chloe and Aylene an extremely angry look with bloodshot eyes and prepared to deliver a final and finishing blow to each of them "Now Princess Celestia gets to lose TWO naughty and nasty girls! And I'll be practically doing her a favor! Two girls at the same time!".
It was then that Howard reared up onto his hinder horse legs and then he was about to strike and end both Chloe and Aylene at the same time by stepping on their chests with his horse forelegs, but the girl and the Pegasus still held defiantly as they knew that hopefully Stephan was going to be safe and happy with Bluebell, the twins and everyone else and without his evil father abusing him and trying to force himthe into becoming evil against his will, and it was the very least the two of them could hope for, and they waited for Howard to finish them off for good as he was about to strike the both of them with his horse forelegs, but just as things for Chloe and Aylene are looking very bleak, the totally unexpected suddenly happened.
Just a few mere milliseconds before Chloe and Aylene could both meet their doom at the hands and horse forelegs of Howard, a golden beam shot the evil centaur inthe the back and only allowed him to yelp in pain before he was swung back away from both Chloe and Aylene in a golden aura, and all the two could do is just raise up their heads and watch in shock and surprise at Howard as he was now being swung forcefully in all directions and slammed repeatedly against the walls, the floor and the ceiling.
Then, a green aura joined the golden aura and then it started pulling hard and forcefully plucking lots of long hairs from Howard's horse tail, causing him to howl in pain and say and yell "EYAUUUUUUU!" once again, before both golden and green auras started smashing the sides of Howard's head against the walls repeatedly, and that is until both of his large and fully curled bighorn sheep horns suddenly broke away from the rest of his head and skull and fell down to the floor, but then a dark blue aura suddenly caught and 'saved' the two bighorn sheep horns just a few mere milliseconds before they could hit the floor and accidentally break into pieces, thus keeping both of Howard's horns intact and whole but away from the rest of his head and skull so now he couldn't use his head to charge at his enemies and/or attack with his own head and skull anymore.
Then, Chloe and Aylene kept watching together as Howard screamed in both fear and pain before he was knocked unconscious by a bone-crushing smash to his now hornless head and skull, thus leaving a cracked up crater in one of the walls before he then fell to the floor, and as Howard laid unconscious while Chloe and Aylene desperately tried to get up on their feet and hooves again, the two are rewarded with seeing Stephan coming back to them very quickly and then helping them up to their feet and hooves again as they barely tried to stand up on their own after their great fight and long battle they just had against Howard.
Then, Stephan said and asked in a raised up voice tone as he cried frantically while Chloe and Aylene shook their heads a little bit to shake off some of their pain "Chloe! Aylene! Are you both okay?! My father didn't hurt you two, did he?!", but then Chloe and Aylene softly placed a hand and a hoof of each of theirs on his chest and then Chloe said first "No, he didn't hurt us very much! Well, you know, compared to what we gave him!", and then Aylene added and said in agreement "Yes, that's right! Your father barely attacked us! Howard fights and attacks like a baby does! That was nothing, really!", but that was before the human and the Pegasus both almost stumbled and nearly fell backwards before Stephan scooped the two of them up in his arms and prevented them from falling down on their backs.
Then, as Stephan slowly let go of Chloe and Aylene again, Celestia, Luna, Thorax, Pharynx, the mane seven, Andy and Zoey, Shujaa, Kenai and Agatha, and even Bluebell came to see Chloe and Aylene, who are both seriously injured but they're both luckily still alive after they fought Howard all by themselves and only together and with each other as a team of two in order to save Stephan away from him and make sure that he doesn't hurts him anymore, and when Celestia saw how injured and wounded are her two daughters from their fight against Howard, she cried frantically and said out loud in an extremely worried tone "CHLOE! AYLENE! Oh my gosh, my two babies! What did that monster do to the both of you?!".
It was then that Chloe and Aylene both were suddenly wrapped up in the loving forelegs and hooves and even wings of a crying Celestia while Luna, Thorax, Pharynx and all the others had finally arrived with eight royal guard and eight changelings (a whole mixed up group of sixteen in total), and then the royal guards and the changelings all immediately dog piled on top of Howard's whole body all together and trapped him before he get back up on his hooves and make his escape, and then the royal guards started putting him in cuffs while the changelings helped them by gloving Howard's hands with special anti-magic gloves which will prevent him from attacking and/or using his magic to escape, thus weakening the evil centaur by over 95%, as Howard is unable to fight back due to all of his wounds, bruises and injuries which were covering his whole body.
At the same time, Celestia was nuzzling and panicking as she snuggled her two injured daughters who just fought together with all their might against one of the worst enemies they have ever faced so far in their whole lives, and tears were forming and rolling down Celestia's eyes and they soon started wetting Chloe and Aylene's cheeks while they slowly hugged her back in hopes of calming her down, and Stephan had even came in and he couldn't help but shed a few tears before he had joined in on the hug while Chloe and Aylene both just let out a couple of sighs.
Then, Chloe said "It's okay, Mother. We're both okay.", and then Aylene added "Howard didn't hurt us a lot. Please don't cry, it's all over now and Howard is no longer a threat to all of us! He's not going to hurt anypony else anymore!", and they both begged from Celestia to calm down, but she only reacted by kissing the both of them on the cheeks and nuzzling them even more, and just then, Luna and Thorax said together "Guards! Changelings! Arrest Howard the centaur immediately! He's going to stand trial for child and teenage abuse and assaulting two girls!", while the guards and the changelings had just picked up the 8 foot tall adult male centaur after they finished cuffing his wrists and gloving his hands so he won't be able to fight back, and so they managed all together to pick up and carry his large body and heavy weight away from the hallway and they were about to take him to be locked up in the dungeons below the royal castle for the time being and until the time where he's going to stand trial for his crimes.
Then, Pharynx approached the now weak and helpless Howard who is now being held up and carried away by the guards and the changelings who are all trying to take the centaur to the dungeons below the royal castle where he'll be imprisoned for the time being, and when Howard barely opened up his eyes and slowly moved his head and neck and turned to see Pharynx looking at him with angry face and eyes, this is when the smaller changeling king yelled at Howard in the face "You Mister have dared to assault my two nieces! Now feel the pain they and their friend, your very own son have all felt as I gonna show you monster what am I really made of!", before Pharynx then charged with his own head and antlers against Howard's hornless head and managed to knock the evil centaur out of the guards and the changelings' grip, allowing him to fall to the floor again and barely grunt in pain as he hit the floor with the back his head first, before the guards and the changelings quickly picked him up again and started carrying him away and started taking him all the way to the dungeons below the royal castle to be imprisoned for the time being until his time to stand trial comes.
Back with all the others, Thorax asked Celestia before he saw her crying with Chloe, Aylene and Stephan in her forelegs, forehooves and wings and was shocked by what he's seeing in front of his eyes, especially when he saw his two precious daughters being seriously injured from their fight against Howard, and so where everyone else who also saw Celestia hugging Chloe, Aylene and Stephan and showing her broken heart to all of them, but that's before she cried and yelled "Don't ever let this centaur see the light of day again! H-he hurt my two babies! Don't you let him ever walk among this city or roam freely around all of Equestria again!".
However, Chloe and Aylene both tried to hug their loving mother as tight as they both could and they also tried their best to ease the princess' broken heart, before Celestia said to her two injured and seriously wounded daughters "My two babies! I'm so sorry, Chloe and Aylene! I promise never to let you two near such violence again! I promise!", and out of everyone who soon crowded all around Chloe, Aylene, Stephan and Celestia, only Pharynx and Shujaa watched as the guards and the changelings carried Howard off the dungeons he would wait for his trial to ensue, and with that handled, all Thorax and Luna could do right now is join Chloe, Aylene, Stephan and Celestia, and hug the wounded human and Pegasus as softly as they could, but then they also hugged Stephan as well, for he loved the both of them (Chloe and Aylene) as his best friends and never wanted them to be put in any danger that could potentially end their lives if they try to stand up to their worst enemies with defiance, while Shujaa sat there in distraught over his inability to help and stop Howard from sneaking and invading the royal castle and searching for Chloe, Aylene and Stephan, but then Pharynx started hugging him in order to reassure the loyal albino orangutan that it wasn't his fault that Howard managed to sneak his way and enter the royal castle and hurt both Chloe and Aylene in order to get Stephan back to himself.
Then, Chloe and Aylene said together "We know, Mother. We both know." as they then turned and looked to see Stephan and then they also saw that he too is snuggling them as well, and at least now the living nightmare was finally over, and no creature was too severely harmed, and now Chloe and Aylene both could rest easily and recover from their wounds, bruises and injuries slowly over time, knowing that Stephan would now be safe and away from his evil father, as the teenage male centaur was saved and was rescued from harm, from danger or even from possible death, and that's all thanks to the very same family that had saved both Chloe and Aylene, and nothing made the two feel more happier.
