The next morning, Russell, the twins and the Zebrataurs herd all woke up and then they're suddenly approached by Brandon, Biff, Stanley and Scarlet, who went up to Russell and the twins (particularly to them because of the evil plans they have for the three of them), and then Brandon asked to the three friends "Well, how are you three doing here within my herd?", and then Scarlet added "Are you enjoying living with all of us?", and then Russell said to them "Of course we enjoy living with all of you! Your herd is much more better than my old home with Black Heart and with her evil human friends!", and then the twins added together in agreement "Yes! This place is amazing! We'd like to stay and live here as much as we want!".

When, the four Zebrataurs heard what Russell and the twins said about how they do enjoy living with them and with their whole herd, Stanley stepped forward and said "Then you better be happy, because Brandon, Biff, Scarlet and I we all have some amazing surprises for you three. Just for you three and not for anyone else.", and then he added and asked "How does that sounds?", and then Russell said "I'll be glad to see what kinds of surprises you want to show me and my little friends!", but then Biff said "Unfortunately, we have to split you up because the surprises aren't located in the same place. So, how about that - Russell will come with Stanley and me, while the little twins will hang out with Scarlet and Brandon?", and when Russell and the twins heard what the muscular Zebrataur said to them, Russell turned to the twins and said to them in a reassuring tone "It's okay, kids. I'm sure Brandon and his girlfriend, Scarlet, would like to take you two to hang out with them, while I'll go with Biff and Stanley somewhere else to get to see and receive my surprise.", and then he asked them "Is that okay with you two that Brandon and Scarlet will take good care of you while I'm gone with Biff and Stanley to look for my surprise?", and when they heard what he said, the Andy said "Yes, Russell! I would like to see what kind of surprise Brandon and Scarlet have for us!", and then Zoey added "I'm sure that we're also going to get and receive not only a surprise but also so much fun, right?", and then Scarlet said to her "Well, of course! Now come with Brandon and with me, kids!", and then Brandon added "The surprise we have for you two is waiting for you to come!".

When Andy and Zoey heard what Scarlet and Brandon said about the surprise they have for them, they turned back to look at Russell and then said to him "Goodbye, Russell! See you later!", and then he said back "Yeah! See you later too, kids! Enjoy hanging out with Scarlet and Brandon!", and with these words being said, the group soon splitted up and started walking in two different directions - Russell walked with Biff and Stanley, while Andy and Zoey followed Scarlet and Brandon, but what the three friends didn't know is that the four Zebrataurs are actually trying to separate them and then get them all killed by two different traps they have already planned for them - Russell will be strangled to death by Biff and then Stanley will skin him to make a cloth out of his beautiful fur, while Scarlet and Brandon will be taking the twins to the Great Animal Graveyard so they can leave them there all alone for the Hyenataurs to come and eat them, and these are exactly the two different traps which Brandon, Biff, Stanley and Scarlet have planned for Russell and for the twins.

However, since the toddler Zebratauress who overheard about their plans knew exactly where they're going, she decided to follow Russell, Biff and Stanley so she can warn him why he shouldn't really go with them or even trust them. As for Russell, he continued following Biff and Stanley (obviously completely unaware that he's walking into a trap), and after a few minutes of following the two Zebrataurs, the red leopard asked them "Guys, where are we going?", and then Biff said back without turning his head "To show you your surprise, of course!", but then Russell said and asked "Yeah, but...when do we get to see my surprise?", and then Stanley answered "We'll get there a few minutes later, Russell. Be patient. The surprise won't run away of you.", and then Russell said to him "Well, if you say so, then I'll just keep following you two until we get to the exact where my surprise is waiting for me.", and then Biff said to him (still without turning his head) "Exactly!", and then the two Zebrataurs and the leopard continued walking away together, but what they didn't know is that the toddler Zebratauress is following them as she clearly knew that Biff and Stanley are up to no good and are actually trying to have Russell's beautiful skin and fur to make a new attractive cloth for Brandon.

A few minutes later, Russell, Biff and Stanley are still walking, but just as it seemed like they're going to keep walking like that for very long, the three suddenly came to a stop when Biff said "Halt!", and when the three stopped, Russell soon started looking everywhere to see where's the surprise Biff and Stanley told him about, but he saw nothing around him or anywhere, and then the red leopard asked the two Zebrataurs "Where's the surprise, guys?", but then Biff said to him "Now! We arrived exactly at the right place!", and then Russell said "Yeah, but...where's the surprise? I don't see any surprise anywhere.", but then Biff said "Oh, but it's just here exactly where we want it to be!".

However, Russell didn't yet understood what Biff was really trying to say, and so he asked the muscular Zebrataur "I don't even know what you're talking about, Biff. Tell me what kind of surprise it's supposed to be.", and then Biff said "The surprise is a beautiful rare animal whom we want to skin to make a new attractive cloth for our leader, Brandon, so he can wear it on his upper body and use it to attract all the ladies in the herd!", but when Russell heard what he said, the red leopard "Rare animal? Where? I don't see any rare animals around.", but then Stanley said as he looked at Russell wickedly "I don't think you really understand what we're trying to say here.", and then Russell asked "What do you mean, Stanley? Is there's something important you have to say to me?", and then Stanley said back "There's a rare animal around here, and we're looking at him right now!", and then he smiled evilly at Russell, who started feeling uneasy when he saw the thinner Zebrataur's evil smile.

Then, Russell said as he felt uneasy when he saw Stanley's evil smile "Why are you looking at me like that with that evil smile on your face? Did I did something wrong?", but just then, Biff pulled a knife from right behind his upper human back and then he held down in front of Russell's face, who soon started to feel more and more uncomfortable with each passing second when he looked at the knife in front of his face, before the red leopard then asked "And what's this knife is here for?", and then Biff said to him in an evil tone "Oh, you'll see very soon, red leopard!", and then he quickly grabbed Russell by the upper part of his back with his other hand before aiming the knife in the red leopard's throat, thus scaring Russell before he barely asked "What are you doing to me?", and then Biff explained "We're going to skin you, of course! Your skin and fur are the most beautiful things that no other leopard here in Equestria have! I'm going to make a red leopard skin cloth out of that marvelous fur of yours!", and when Russell realized that he walked and followed Biff and Stanley into a trap, the red leopard said with tears in his eyes "No! Please, no! Don't kill me for my skin! I beg you!", but then Biff said to him "Sorry, but it's too late!", and then Stanley added "Now die!".

However, just then, a female voice suddenly yelled at Biff and Stanley "Leave that leopard alone!", and the toddler Zebratauress came trotting and running fast towards the two much older males and then she jumped up and bit Stanley on the hand, causing him to scream and accidentally bump too hard into Biff, causing to let go of Russell (although he still didn't dropped his knife), and then she climbed up onto Stanley and pulled herself up onto his lower zebra back before she then turned tail and then she bucked him as hard as she could in the upper human back, causing Stanley to scream again before he then fainted and fell down and got knocked unconscious when he accidentally hit with his head against the ground, thus leaving Biff to face her as the muscular male Zebrataur than threw his knife away and looked down at the toddler female with angry face and eyes as now he wanted to teach her a lesson for trying to interfere with his and his friends' evil plans (and also to teach her a lesson for biting, attacking and knocking Stanley out cold).

Then, the toddler Zebratauress jumped up and tried to attack Biff, but the much larger male and muscular Zebrataur soon managed to grab her with his human arms and hands and then he started choking her, but before he can finish her off, however, he's stabbed in the left zebra foreleg and hoof by Russell (who used Biff's knife to make him let go of the toddler Zebratauress), and this caused him to scream and throw the toddler Zebratauress back to the ground in anger, but Russell caught her and saved her before she could hit the ground, and after he saved her life, the red leopard angrily jumped and leaped up into the air in front of Biff and then he delivered a surprisingly shocking blow by slapping Biff hard across the face with his right forepaw, and that turned out to be very effective as it suddenly made Biff feel very dizzy before he finally lost his balance and fell on top of Stanley, thus getting knocked out cold as well.

With both Stanley and Biff being knocked out cold and unconscious (and on top of each other), the Zebratauress stared in awe at what Russell did when he managed to take out Biff with a surprisingly strong leopard slap to the face, and then she spoke up and said to him "Thank you, Russell! You saved my life!". However, Russell soon turned to look at her with an angry face before he then jumped on her and trapped her below himself and also between his legs so she won't be able to escape from him, and then he asked angrily as he started bearing his teeth at her "Who are you?! What do you want?!", and then the toddler Zebratauress said "I tried to warn you about the trap Biff and Stanley set for you! I tried to save you, and I'm here to help you save Andy and Zoey too!", but then Russell asked her in an angry tone "Why should I believe you, little Zebratauress?! How do I know that you're not trying to lead me into another trap like Stanley and Biff already did?!", and then the toddler Zebratauress said "Because I heard Brandon, Biff, Stanley and Scarlet talking to each other and preparing with their evil plans! I came here to tell you that you must go find Andy and Zoey and save them in time! They're following Brandon and Scarlet to the Great Animal Graveyard, the horrible place where Hyenataurs live and eat everything that enters their territory!".

When Russell heard what she said, he got off of the toddler Zebratauress before he then asked her "What's a Hyenataur?", and then she said and explained to the red leopard "Hyenataurs are known as dangerous centaurid creatures with the upper bodies of humans and lower ones of hyenas! Much like normal hyenas, female Hyenataurs are bigger, taller and meaner than males, while male Hyenataurs often tend to be less aggressive and more friendly, unless of course when they're hungry and that's when they start attacking! Their clans are always being led by the matriarch (the oldest female), and they all do exactly as she says and they will always follow her and will obey her orders!".

When Russell heard what she said about Hyenataurs being the dangerous inhabitants of the Great Animal Graveyard, the red leopard said to the toddler Zebratauress "Alright then, kid! Lead me to the Great Animal Graveyard! We gotta save Andy and Zoey before it's too late and before they'll become Hyenataur food!", and with these words being said, the two started running together as fast as they could to the Great Animal Graveyard to save Andy and Zoey from getting eaten by the ferocious Hyenataurs who live there.

Meanwhile, Andy and Zoey continued to follow Scarlet and Brandon to the Great Animal Graveyard, and the two toddler centaurs are completely unaware of the danger lying in that horrible place (which is, of course, the Hyenataurs), and it didn't took them very long before they finally reached and arrived at the Great Animal Graveyard, and then they entered the Great Animal Graveyard with Scarlet and Brandon leading the way, but a few minutes later, once they all arrived near the middle of the Great Animal Graveyard, Brandon said to the twins "Here we are, kids! Here you'll find your ultimate surprise!", and then Scarlet added "We'll leave you two here so you can have your surprise all for yourselves!", but then Andy asked her "Why? Don't you like watching us getting our surprise?", but then Scarlet said back "No, I can't!", and then Brandon added "Neither can I!", and just then, the Zebrataur leader said to the two toddler centaurs "We have to go back to our herd! They're all waiting for us to come back home! But you two can stay here and look for your surprise! Don't be afraid! The inhabitants in this place are very friendly and kind and they won't hurt you! This is a good and safe place!", and then he and Scarlet both turned tails and then Brandon finished when he said "Goodbye, kids! Have fun looking for your surprise!", and then the two Zebrataurs soon started galloping away, thus leaving Andy and Zoey all alone in the Great Animal Graveyard.

However, just then, Andy heard and felt his own stomach rumbling, and this told him instantly that he's going hungry and that he must eat something, and then he turned to Zoey and said to her "Zoey, I must eat something. I have to say that I'm going hungry right now.", but then Zoey said to her twin brother "That's too bad, Andy. I'm sorry to say but since this is a massive graveyard with lots of bones all around us, I don't think there is any source of food around.", but just then, however, a loud sound of laughter was suddenly heard, and that caused the two toddler centaurs to flinch and then jump in fear as they soon realized that they're not the only ones around.

Just then, a large female centaurid creature with the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a hyena ran up towards Andy and Zoey and made her way up to them in almost no time, and she was none other than a Hyenataur (actually Hyenatauress because she's a female), but then, after she made her way up to the twins, two more Hyenataurs soon came behind her and then stopped by both of her sides, and because of their appearances, masculine upper chests and shorter and smaller bodies, they were obviously males, but when Andy and Zoey saw the trio of new creatures in front of them, they soon started shaking and trembling in fear as they looked up at the three Hyenataurs in the eyes.

Then, one of the two male Hyenataurs spoke up and said "Look at what we have here.", and then the female (Hyenatauress) added "These two little centaurs appear to be very juicy! I would like to eat them for lunch!", and then the second male Hyenataur laughed and cackled madly at the twins, thus scaring them as they quickly hugged each other in fear as the Hyneataurs' appearances were mangy and scary compared to many other centaurid species, and their teeth are in fact those of a hyena, which makes Hyenataurs capable of cracking open and then eating bones.

Then, Andy asked them while shaking in fear "W-who are y-you three?", and then the Hyenatauress spoke up and said to him as she looked down at him in the eyes "I'm Shanzi, the queen and leader of the Hyenataurs!", and then the first male Hyenataur added "I'm Benzai, Shanzi's mate and her clan's second-in-command!", and then he added as he motioned with a hand of his own at the second male Hyenataur "And this is Eddie, the third-in-command of our clan!", but then he also said "Although I have to admit that he doesn't talk and that he's really stupid!", and then Eddie (the second male Hyenataur) laughed and cackled madly at the twins once again, before all three Hyenataurs soon started surrounding them, thus making Andy and Zoey be very afraid of them as the three Hyenataurs are now willing to eat them for lunch.

Then, Shanzi said as she was about to strike at the twins and have them for lunch "Now it's feeding time!", but then Russell suddenly came out of nowhere and attacked the Hyenatauress, thus allowing Andy and Zoey to have their escape, but then Benzai and Eddie soon started chasing after them, and so Andy and Zoey knew that while Russell is keeping Shanzi busy and distracted, they must run away and escape from Benzai and Eddie, who are both willing to eat them for lunch as both male Hyenataurs chased after their prey and tried to keep up with the twins so they can catch up with them and then eat them.

However, just as things looked bleak for Andy and Zoey, the toddler Zebratauress who helped and saved Russell from Biff and Stanley's trap came just in time to help the twins escape from Benzai and Eddie and so the three toddler equine centaurs quickly managed to get into a small tunnel, which also turned out to be to small for the Hyenataurs to go through, and by using that tunnel, Andy, Zoey and the toddler Zebratauress all managed to escape together and leave the Great Animal Graveyard unharmed, and just then, Russell came out of there too, thus hinting that he managed to either knock Shanzi out cold or managed to escape from the Great Animal Graveyard for his life before Benzai and Eddie returned to find her and decided to give up their chase.

With all four of them are now safe and out of the Great Animal Graveyard unharmed, Andy and Zoey thanked the toddler Zebratauress for both helping them and for saving their lives from the Hyenataurs, and then Andy asked "What's your name anyway?", and then the toddler Zebratauress said "I'm Violet, and it's nice to meet you!", and then Zoey asked her "Do you have any friends?", but then Violet said back "I admit I am part of Brandon's herd, but now - not anymore! If he finds out that I foiled his and his friends' plans, I'm sure they would want to destroy me too!", and when they heard what she said, Russell asked her "So you don't have any friends within Brandon's herd?", and then Violet answered "Not anymore! Brandon would think ill of me when he finds out that his and his friends' evil plans to have you three destroyed were foiled because of me!", and then she added "I can't go back to my herd now! My herd was my only hope for survival, but now that I turned against Brandon and his friends, I'm not anymore part of their herd, and this means that now I have nowhere to go anymore!", and then she looked down and sniffled as tears of sadness and loneliness started forming and rolling down her eyes as she thought that she have nowhere else to go or anyone else to talk to or be with anymore.

However, just then, Violet suddenly felt two hands and a paw touching at her shoulders, and when she looked forward again, she saw Russell and the twins are trying to comfort her by lightly touching at her shoulders before Russell said to her "If you say that you're now all alone and that you can't go back to your herd anymore, then how about you join us on our journey in search for a new home?", and then Andy said "It will be a great honor to accept you as the newest member of our traveling party!", and then Zoey asked her "So what do you say, Violet? Do you want to join us?", and when Violet heard what she said, she said back to her three newest friends "Oh, yes! Of course I will join you! It's a better choice than going back to the rest of Brandon's herd and meet a tragic end at his and at his friends' evil hands!", and then she added "From now on, I'm no longer part of Brandon's herd! Instead, I'm now part of your traveling party, and we're going to continue together on our journey in search for a new home! All four of us!".

When Russell, Andy and Zoey all heard what Violet said and declared about herself becoming the newest addition to their traveling party, all three of them had happy and cheerful smiles on their faces as now the traveling party of three became the traveling party of four, and so Russell said to her "You're welcome to join us, Violet! You're going to have so much fun with us while we go all together on the long journey in search for a new home!", and when she heard what he said, Violet quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes and then she said back "Thank you Russell! It's good to have such good friends as Andy, Zoey and you! Thank you all for letting me into your traveling party! It makes me so happy that I won't have to worry about being threatened by Brandon or by any of his evil friends anymore!", and then she added "Let's go, everyone! It's time to continue on our journey in search for a new home!", and with these words being said, the traveling party of four - Russell, Andy, Zoey and Violet - continued all together on their long journey in search for a new home.
