The following day, it was early morning when Feliks is still sleeping with Russell and Andy, but that wasn't before they're being slowly approached by none other than the cruel, heartless and scheming leopardess herself, and the one and only who hates them for the most - yes, it's none other than Chuluun. Then, once she got close enough to the three friends, she stopped right in front of them and said and whispered to them "Pst. Pst, hey. Hey, wake up, you three. It's morning time, and there's something that I need to show you.", and when the three barely heard what she said, the three opened their eyes and then they yawned and stretched out their bodies and limbs before slowly standing up on their feet and hooves and looking to see Chuluun standing right in front of them.
When Feliks saw his aunt standing right in front of him and right in front of his two new friends, the young leopard cub asked her "Auntie Chuluun? What are you doing here right now? Where have you been during Daddy's coronation when he became the new king?", but then Chuluun shushed him and said "Nevermind!" before she then added and said "Now listen to me, there's something that I need to show you, and your new friends too.", and when they heard what she said, Feliks asked in excitement "Oh, really? What is it?", and then Chuluun said to him and to his two friends "Come with me and I'll show you. All of it.", and when the three of them heard what she said, Feliks, Andy and Russell all started following her as she then started leading them away from all the still sleeping leopards, and so she led the three friends a mile away from home towards a gorge which was more than a 150 feet deep, and that was the exact place Chuluun chose to use in order to get rid of the three and also of Azaad (when she'll go back to fetch him too).
A while later, the four arrived at the bottom of the gorge, where they continued to walk in it, and during their walk in the gorge, Chuluun let out some loud leopard roars, which impressed the two other leopards and the centaur, who said together "Woah!" before Russell alone said "What nice roars you just gave, Chuluun!", and then Chuluun said back "Well, thank you, red leopard.", but then Andy corrected and said "His name is Russell!", but then Chuluun rolled her eyes in annoyance and said "Whatever.", and then she explained as they continued to walk in the gorge between the two tall cliffs which were stretching along the way on both sides of the gorge "This gorge is where all leopards come to find their roars.", and when they heard what she said, both Feliks and Andy looked at her and then turned to look up at the tall stretching cliffs on both sides of the gorge in awe, although Russell didn't seemed to believe in what she said, for him not being native to Azaad's homeland, and therefore he wasn't even trying to 'find' his roars at the bottom of the same gorge when he was just a little cub himself, and now as an adult leopard, it was actually Russell's first time when he's just visiting the gorge.
"All leopards? Even my dad?" Feliks asked his aunt, and so she said back to him "Even Azaad came here when he was your age.", and then she added "And he refused to leave...until his roars could be heard above the rim.", and when they heard what Chuluun just said, Feliks and Andy said again "Whoa!", but then Russell said with a hint of disbelief in his tone "I don't believe you, Chuluun! This just sounds ridiculous!", and when she heard what he said, Chuluun turned her head and looked back at him before she then asked "What did you just said to me?", and then Russell pointed out and explained "I've never found my roars here at the bottom of this gorge! I was never even born here in Azaad's homelands either! I'm not native to this land and I was never even here before when I was just a young cub who is just around Feliks' age! As an adult leopard, I'm still here for a very short time, and in fact, this is actually the first time I'm ever visiting this gorge!".
When Chuluun heard what Russell said about that he never 'found' his roars in the gorge in which he, Andy, Feliks and she (Chuluun herself) already are, she gave him a huff and said "How dare you underestimate my words, red leopard?!", but then Russell said "I'm not lying to you about my past! I'm here only a short time! I was never here in your, your brother and your whole leap's land before when I was a little cub! So because I didn't found my roars in this here gorge when I was a little cub a long time ago, that means that I only found my roars when I learned to roar!", but then Chuluun said back "Enough! I don't want to hear anything else you have to say, red leopard!", and then she added "We're going further ahead to that rock over there *she motioned over to a large rock which stood further ahead of them with a forepaw* so you three can wait on it patiently until I come back with the ultimate surprise that I want to show you and also give to my precious nephew, and I don't want YOU to ruin it, do you understand?!", and when Russell heard what the rude leopardess said, he huffed and said back angrily "Fine!", and without anything else to say, Russell, Andy, Feliks and Chuluun all continued until they reached the large rock which stood further ahead of them, and that's when Chuluun told Russell, Andy and Feliks to stay and wait on the rock until she comes back to them and returns back with the 'ultimate surprise' she have for them (and especially for Feliks), before she then left the three of them to wait together patiently on the rock and embrace themselves for the 'ultimate surprise' to come, but what Russell, Andy and Feliks didn't know is that this is just what Chuluun wanted them to do so the first part in her plan to get rid of them (and of Azaad) and become the new queen of the grassy savannah plains will go exactly as she planned.
Meanwhile, on the top of one of the gorge's tall cliffs, near the pathway which leads all the way down to the bottom of the gorge itself, there was a large herd of Indian rhinos grazing on and eating some grass, and all of these Indian rhinos are none other than all the same ones (the same Indian rhinos herd) whom Buldeo provoked before in order to destroy both Jayma and Agatha (although his plan to destroy both Jayma and Agatha have failed). However, the Indian rhinos herd weren't alone, as Shanzi, Benzai, Eddie, Jonjo and another adult male Hyenataur (whose name is unknown) were looking and spying on the Indian rhinos, and just then, Jonjo asked his mother "Oh, Mom, can I please have one of these big guys for lunch?", but then Shanzi shushed him and said "No! We need to chase this herd down into the gorge!", and then Benzai said "Your Mom's right, son. This is part of Chuluun's plan so she can become the queen of this big and fertile land which looks pretty good and big enough for all of us Hyenataurs to live in.", and then Eddie cackled and laughed as he nodded his head in agreement with the two other adults, and just then, the unknown male Hyenataur turned around to look away towards the gorge, and then he saw Chuluun coming and then stopping on the edge of the other tall cliff on the other side of the gorge.
Then, the unknown male Hyenataur said to the four other Hyenataurs "There she is! Chuluun is on the other side of the gorge! She's standing on the edge of the other cliff! She's giving us a signal!", and when they heard what he said, they all turned around to see Chuluun standing on the tall cliff that was on the other side of the gorge, and that's when Shanzi said to her family and to the unknown male who is part (and a member) of the Hyenataurs clan "Let's go!", and then the five Hyenataurs started charging towards the Indian rhinos and use their intimidating heights, as well as their hyena-like claws and teeth to scare them all and then chase them all away and towards the pathway which leads down to the bottom of the gorge so the second part of Chuluun's plan to get rid of Russell, Andy and Feliks (and also of Azaad) and become the new queen of the grassy savannah plains will go exactly as she planned.
Back in the bottom of the gorge, Russell, Andy and Feliks were all still waiting on the rock for the 'ultimate surprise' that Chuluun said she have for them to come, but Russell appeared to be not so trusting and also very suspicious of her and of her words, and so he said "I don't know about you kids, but I don't think we should trust Chuluun or what she said about that ultimate surprise she said she have for us.", but then Andy turned to him and asked "What do you mean, Russell?", and then the red leopard explained "Ever since you and I we both arrived here in Azaad's homeland, Chuluun was behaving badly towards us.", and when Andy heard what his red leopard friend just said, the toddler centaur asked "And?", and then Russell said back to him "And, I don't think we should trust her or listen to what she says.", and then he added and pointed out "I mean, what kind of ultimate surprise will be coming for us while we're here at the bottom of this gorge? I think that Chuluun is merely fooling us into believing in what she says!".
However, when Feliks heard what Russell said about his aunt being a liar, the young leopard turned to him and yelled "How dare you talk about my auntie that way?! You're such a jerk, Russell! Maybe when I'll find my roars in this here gorge, I will be able to scare you to your very core!", and then Feliks angrily let out a few loud meowing noises which could easily be heard from halfway up the rim above him and his friends, thus surprising both Russell and Andy, who then looked at him with shock can be seen on their faces and eyes. However, shortly after Feliks let out his loud meowing noises in anger, a large rumbling sound was suddenly heard, the ground started shaking, and the small stones around the three friends started jumping up and down repeatedly, and when the rumbling sounds got bigger and closer, Russell, Andy and Feliks all turned to see the large herd of stampeding Indian rhinos coming towards them, thus causing the three friends to gasp both with shock and with fright before they quickly turned around and started running away together for their lives in the other direction which leads further into the gorge, as the stampeding Indian rhinos soon started chasing after them, with the Hyenataurs forcing the last Indian rhinos who are at the very back of the stampede to run as fast as they could down the pathway which leads down into the gorge, and once they were done, the Hyenataurs stopped right on the beginning of the pathway which leads all the way down into the gorge and they looked down and watched from above as the Indian rhinos kept stampeding after Russell, Andy and Feliks, who ran away together as fast as they could in order to escape and get away from the stampede.
Meanwhile, back with the rest of the leopard leap, Azaad (who is also there with the other leopards) noticed that his son, as well as Andy and Russell were missing, and so he asked worriedly "Where's Feliks? Does anybody here knows where did he go?", but just then, he suddenly heard a voice calling for him, and it was none other than his sister Chuluun, who ran up to meet him and the rest of the leap with a shocked and horrified expression on her face (which obviously was fake), and once she reached back to Azaad and to the leopard leap, she said in a horrified tone "Azaad! Quick! Come with me! Stampede! In the gorge! Feliks and his friends are down there!", and when the leopard king and his whole leap heard what she said, he and the other leopards all gasped with shock before Azaad asked and yelled in shock "What?!".
Back in the gorge, Russell, Andy and Feliks are all still running away together for their lives, but then they spotted and noticed and saw a large rock which stood at least six feet tall standing in front of them, and the large rock also appeared to be big enough for all three friends to climb up and stand on top of it, and so the three decided to go and quickly climb up onto the rock and stay on top of it until either Azaad comes to rescue them, or until the Indian rhinos stampede is over. However, even when Russell, Andy and Feliks all managed to climb up and stand on top of the large rock, they knew that because there are so many stampeding Indian rhinos, the rock won't be standing in place much longer before it will break down in pieces from the Indian rhinos' charging, hitting and smashing against it.
Luckily for them, however, help is at hand (or should be said at paw) as Azaad and Chuluun came together to the gorge and went down to the edge of a cliff which was in midway down to the bottom of the gorge where the Indian rhinos are still running and stampeding, and then the two leopards started looking for Feliks and for his friends everywhere, but that is until Chuluun spotted them on top of the large rock, which is slowly breaking down from the Indian rhinos' charging, hitting and smashing against it, which results in the rock to break down into pieces, and then she called for Azaad to look as she pointed down at Feliks, Andy and Russell with a foreleg and a forepaw "Look, Azaad! There they are! On the top of that large rock over there!", and when Azaad turned and looked down and saw his son and his two friends standing on top of the large rock, which is slowly breaking down into pieces due to the Indian rhinos charging, hitting and smashing against it, the leopard king called out for Feliks "Hold on, Feliks! Don't worry, my son! Daddy is coming!", and when the three heard him calling for them from the top of the cliff which was closer to their level than the main cliffs which stood much taller above the gorge itself, they all turned to look up at him before Feliks cried "Hurry, Dad! Hurry!", and then Russell also called back for the leopard king and said "Please, help us! That rock won't stop these stampeding rhinos much longer!".
Without hesitation, Azaad willingly jumped off the edge of the cliff and he went down and landed safely on the bottom of the gorge, before he then quickly headed towards the stampede in order to save Feliks, Andy and Russell from getting killed by the Indian rhinos, who are keeping charging, hitting and smashing against the large rock again and again, and one after another, and just when Azaad managed to get close enough to his son and to his two friends, the large finally broke down into pieces, and this forced the two leopards and the centaur to quickly start running away again for their lives, with Azaad trying to catch up with them and help them escape from the stampede.
During their attempt to escape from the stampede, Feliks accidentally tripped over a stone and fell on the ground, but before he's about to be crushed and trampled by the Indian rhinos, Azaad suddenly came out of nowhere and he managed to save his son by grabbing and holding him tightly by the scruff of the back of the neck (which can be found in every type and/or species of big cats, including leopards), before the leopard king started carrying his little son away from the stampede and take him up to safety so the Indian rhinos won't be able to crush or trample Feliks underneath their massive bodies, but once Azaad did managed to place Feliks down on a tall rocky ledge safely, the leopard king gets separated from his own son once again when Azaad is being dragged back into the stampede by the Indian rhinos before he can escape together with him (Feliks).
However, despite this happened to him, Azaad soon managed to recover and then he jumped out of the stampede again and so he started to climb up on the rocky cliff with all his might so that he can pull himself up to safety, and when Feliks saw his father is climbing up on the rocky cliff not too far from him, the young leopard cub started climbing up a rocky pathway which may lead him to the top of the cliff where he can meet up with his father, and as for Andy and Russell, they too managed to escape from the stampede and they soon started to follow and then catch up with Feliks as they continued to climb up on the rocky pathway which may lead them up to the top of the cliff so that they can meet up with Azaad, and so Russell will be able to save him by helping him out of the gorge so that all four of them can escape from danger all together.
However, as Azaad continued to climb up the cliff and nearly reached the top, he saw Chuluun looking down at him with a darkened expression on her face, and when Azaad saw his sister standing just above and that she's close enough to help him climb up to safety, the leopard king cried and begged from her "Chuluun! Please, sister! Help me!", but instead of helping him, Chuluun just stood there and kept looking down at him with her darkened expression on her face, and then, just a short moment later, she quickly went forward and then she cruelly and heartlessly dug her own claws into Azaad's forepaws, causing him to roar out loud in pain as he looked up at her with fear and horror in his eyes, and what Chuluun said next shook Azaad to his very core.
"Long...live...the KING!" Chuluun said and declared in an evil tone as she then smacked Azaad across the face and sent him falling back down screaming towards the Indian rhinos stampede, and when Feliks, Andy and Russell saw him falling but didn't saw that Chuluun is the one who sent him falling back down towards the stampede, the three screamed together "NOOOOOOOOO!" as they watched helplessly from a higher vantage point as the last rhinos came and went by before the stampede was over, and once all the Indian rhinos left, there was nothing but a massive cloud of dust on the bottom of the gorge, and once the cloud of dust slowly disappeared and the area slowly became clear again, the three friends went back down to the bottom of the gorge to search for Azaad, and they hoped that he might be still alive and that he's around somewhere and that he's also waiting for them to come and find him.
"Dad?" Feliks called and hoped that his father will answer back to him, but when nobody answered his calls, he tried to call for him (Azaad) again and again, but still no answering back, but that is until the one last and final Indian rhino suddenly came out of nowhere and quickly ran past them and left without harming the three friends, but as they turned to look in the direction in which the one last and final Indian rhino just went in order to catch up with the rest of its herd, Feliks, Andy and Russell all suddenly saw something small and black which looked like a tiny furball standing not too far away from them, and saw when the three friends went close enough to get a closer look and inspect the black furball, they soon recognized what the black furball actually supposed to be - it was the black tuft of fur that was supposed to be in the very end of Azaad's tail, and since it was everything they found from Azaad so far (since they didn't successfully managed to find Azaad's body), saddened expressions formed on their faces as they Feliks, Andy and Russell all started to believe that Azaad is now dead and gone and that the black tuft of fur from the very end of his tail is the only thing that was left from him.
However, just then, the totally unexpected happened - a familiar young male voice suddenly called for both Andy and Russell "Hey, Andy! Hey, Russell! There you are, guys!", and just then, the two started to turn their heads and look around in different directions to see if there's someone else around here besides just Feliks and themselves, before Russell then asked "Huh? Who said that?" and then he added and demanded "Show yourself!", and just then, a familiar juvenile male Deertaur came out of nowhere and went towards them before he stopped right in front of them, and when Russell and Andy both recognized the Deertaur standing in front of them, they knew exactly who he was - the juvenile male Deertaur is none other than Noah, who in fact spent the past few days looking for the both of them (Andy and Russell), and when Russell and Andy both noticed that it is none other Noah himself who is standing in front of them, Andy cried "Noah! It's you! You're okay!", and then he asked him "Where have you been this whole time?", and then Noah explained "I actually spent the past few days looking for you two, and now that I finally found you, you can help me rescue my family and all of our other friends from that Oscar and from his herd!".
However, when Russell and Andy both heard what he said, Russell said "Of course we would like to go and save all of our friends, but now it's not a good time for us to do so.", and when he heard what the red leopard just said, Noah asked him "What? Why not?", and then Russell turned to look back down at Feliks, who is now on the verge of tears from losing his own father to the stampede, and when Noah lowered his head and looked down and noticed the young leopard cub, who is almost about to cry and shed tears over the loss of his only father, the 5 year-old juvenile male Deertaur asked Feliks in a very soft tone so not to scare him "And who are you, little leopard cub?", but instead of answering him, Feliks finally started to cry and shed tears over the loss of his own father.
When Noah noticed that the young leopard cub is crying because he's sad and heartbroken, he asked Russell while still talking in the very soft tone he used just a short moment ago "Russell? What's wrong with him? Did I said something wrong?", and then Russell said to the juvenile Deertaur "This is Feliks, and he's the prince of the grassy savannah plains outside this gorge.", and then he added and explained "His father, Azaad, who is the king of the grassy savannah plains got trampled by a stampede of Indian rhinos while trying to save him.", and then he finished and said "Now the poor little guy is an orphan and he has nowhere else to go to anymore, and he can't even go back to his own home where he belongs.", and when Noah heard what Russell just said about Feliks having nowhere else to go to anymore, which means that now he got only him (Russell himself) and Andy to keep him company, the juvenile Deertaur asked him "So, does that means that this poor little guy has no one else to care for him but Andy and you?", and then Russell nodded his head in agreement and said back "Yes, exactly. Feliks got only me and Andy to keep him company.".
When Noah realized and understood Feliks' pain, the juvenile male Deertaur said very softly to him as he then knelt down to the young leopard cub's level in order to get to look at him in the eyes "It's okay, little buddy. I won't hurt you and I really do understand your pain. I promise to stick around with you and with Russell and Andy too so I can help keep you some company.", and when he heard what Noah said, Feliks looked up at him for a moment and studied his looks and appearance before he then asked "W-who are you, Sir?", and then Noah said back "My name's Noah, and there's no need to call me 'Sir'. I'm just 5 years old and I didn't even started growing my antlers yet. I'm a young juvenile who is just a little older than you.", and when he heard what he said, Feliks asked "Do you have a family? Or you're traveling alone?", and when he heard what the young leopard prince just said to him, Noah said back "Well, I do have a family, but I got separated from them and from our best man, Igor. Since then, I spent the past few days searching and looking for Russell all alone by myself, and now that I found him, Andy and you, I'm ready to rejoin your group once again. Count me in and together we'll be four - you, Russell, Andy and me.", and then he asked "How does that sounds to you?", and when Feliks heard what he said, he sniffled before saying with tears still forming and rolling down his eyes "Y-yes, Noah! Thank you so much for accepting me as your friend! I never made any friends with a Deertaur like you before!", and then Noah said back while giving the young leopard cub a reassuring smile "It's okay, that's no problem.".
However, Feliks' joy of having Noah as his newest friend would turn out to be short-lived as Chuluun suddenly came into view and approached the young leopard cub from right behind him before she then said with both a shocked and disappointed expression on her face "Feliks!", and when he heard his aunt's voice suddenly talking to him from right behind his back, this is when Feliks gasped in shock before his face returned to its saddened and mourning expression as he then quickly turned around to see Chuluun looking down at him with both shock and disappointment can be seen on her face, before she then asked him "What have you done?", and when the young leopard prince saw his aunt looking down at him with both shock and disappointment, as he soon realized that she's blaming him for Azaad's death, Feliks soon started to tear up again before he cried and said "It was a stampede! He tried to save me! It was all an accident! I...I didn't mean for it to happen!".
When Chuluun heard what he said, she said back as she then reached and stroked at her nephew's back with a forepaw "Of course you didn't. No one ever means for these horrible things to happen, but the king is dead. And if it weren't for you, he'd still be alive.", and then she added and said to Feliks while putting the blame for Azaad's death on him "Your father had such hopes for you, he gave you so many chances, he showed you so many opportunities, he loved you with all his heart - and this is how you repay him.", and when Feliks heard what his aunt said to him about what 'he' did to his own father, he sniffled and cried in shame "I'm so sorry! I didn't know! I didn't know!".
Then, Chuluun stopped stroking at his back and asked "Oh, what will the rest of the leap will think of you?", and then she added and said "A son who causes his father's death. A boy who kills a king.", and when Feliks heard the next horrible thing she just said about what 'he' did to his own father, he asked Chuluun with tears still forming and rolling down his eyes "What am I gonna do?", and then Chuluun said to him back with a hardened and angry expression on her face "Run. Run away, Feliks. Run away and never return!", and when Feliks heard the last horrible thing she just said to him, he sniffled before he then turned around and started running away in tears, and when Russell, Andy and Noah watched him leaving, the three soon started following him as Russell called for the much younger leopard "Wait for us, Feliks!", and then he added "We're coming with you!" as the four friends quickly left the area as fast as they could and went to the other side of the gorge to find their way out of the leopards' homeland and kingdom, while Chuluun stayed behind and watched them leaving all together with an evil look on her face.
Just then, things started get really dark as Shanzi, Benzai, Eddie, Jonjo and all the other Hyenataurs suddenly came out of nowhere and approached from right behind Chuluun's back, and once they got close enough to her, the evil leopardess commanded and said to all of them in a cruel, heartless and evil tone "Kill them all!", and the moment she said that, all the Hyenataurs started running past her and going fast after the four friends in order to chase them down and kill them before they manage to escape from the leopards' homeland and kingdom.
A few moments later, while the four friends are still running away and searching for a way out of the gorge so that they can all escape from the leopards' homelands, they all suddenly heard some familiar growls, which only Noah didn't recognized at all, and that's because since he haven't yet met the Hyenataurs clan before, he couldn't figure out what's coming from behind him that is soon going to get him and his friends for lunch if they don't run away for their lives as fast as they all can, but once the juvenile Deertaur turned around and saw the Hyenataurs running very quickly and coming towards him and his friends, he was so scared and horrified to see their scary and intimidating appearances, which soon prompted him to run away faster, which soon caused Feliks, Andy and Russell to do the same thing as they quickly turned around to notice that the Hyenataurs are coming towards them, and so all four friends started running even faster in order to escape from the Hyenataurs (completely unaware that they're working with Chuluun and are trying to kill the four friends (Feliks, Andy, Noah and Russell) under her orders).
However, despite their attempts and efforts to escape the ferocious Hyenataurs, Feliks, Andy, Noah and Russell all ended up reaching the edge of a tall cliff at the end (or at least one of the ends) of the gorge, and that's when the Hyenataurs got their chance to kill the four friends and eat them for lunch, and then two of the Hyenataurs of the clan, a male and a female, charged together towards them, causing Noah to misplace a hind deer leg and a cloven hoof over the edge of the cliff before he then lost his balance, slipped and fell down from the edge of the cliff, and the same thing soon happened to Feliks, Andy and Russell as well when the two Hyenataurs started attacking them, and it soon caused them (Feliks, Andy and Russell) to lose their balances, slip and fall down from the edge of the cliff, taking the two Hyenataurs down along with them.
Then, shortly afterwards, Shanzi, Benzai, Eddie and Jonjo arrived at the scene and when they reached the edge of the cliff and then looked down to see where did Feliks, Andy, Noah and Russell go after they fell off the edge of the cliff (oblivious to the deaths of the two Hyenataurs of their clan which fell off the edge of the cliff with the four friends), and then Shanzi said as she then turned to her mate, her son and her brother-in-law (Eddie is Benzai's brother) "Go down and make sure they're all dead.", and then she turned tail and started running away with the rest of the Hyenataurs clan soon following behind her, thus leaving Benzai, Eddie and Jonjo to look around the area and check if Feliks, Andy, Noah and Russell are all still alive after their fall from the edge of the cliff.
However, because the cliff was too steep for them to go down and check properly if Feliks, Andy, Noah and Russell have all died, Jonjo said to his father and to his uncle "No little cub could survive that fall.", and then he came up with a lie which he, Benzai and Eddie should tell Shanzi, and so the preteen male said as he looked up at the two older males "Listen, Dad and Uncle Eddie, we're gonna tell Mom that we went down there and we ate both the little centaur and the Deertaur.", and when they both heard what he said, Benzai said "Great, that sounds like the perfect lie we should tell your mom, Jonjo.", but then he quickly added and asked "But what about the little prince and Russell?", and then Jonjo came up with another lie which may sound relevant due to the fact that back on planet Earth, male leopards will kill and even eat cubs who aren't their own (since Russell is obviously not Feliks' father, nor a close relative from his family), and then the preteen male Hyenataur said to his father and to his uncle "I know, we'll just tell Mom that Russell killed and then ate Prince Feliks and that he ran away and will never return.", and when they both heard what he said, Eddie laughed and cackled evilly at what his preteen nephew said, before Benzai said to his son in agreement "That lie indeed sounds good enough to tell Shanzi about what happened to both Russell and the little prince!".
However, just then, Benzai soon seemed to miss the point in his son's lies before he asked him "But wait a minute, son, when did we ate the little centaur and the Deertaur?", and that's when Jonjo snapped at his own father and uncle and then he said to the both of them "We didn't ate them, and we're not gonna eat them either!", and then he added "You don't understand the real point in my lies, do you? The little centaur and the Deertaur are both dead, and Prince Feliks was eaten by Russell! Russell killed and then ate Prince Feliks and then he ran away and will never return! That's all Mom (Shanzi) ever has to know!", and so with nothing else to say, Jonjo turned tail and started running away, and when his father and his uncle realized that they he's going to tell his lies to his mother about Feliks, Andy, Noah and Russell's whereabouts, Benzai said in agreement with his preteen son's decision to lie to her "Sounds good to me.", and then Eddie nodded his head in agreement before the two adult male Hyenataurs soon left the area and started following Jonjo all the way back to Shanzi and to the rest of the Hyenataurs clan so that they can tell her the lies about Feliks, Andy and Noah's deaths and about Russell's escape from the leopards' homelands.
As for Feliks, Andy, Noah and Russell, the four luckily managed to survive the fall and managed to hide in a cave which was big enough for all four of them to hide in, while both Hyenataurs who fell down with them have died from the fall, and once Jonjo, Benzai and Eddie were all gone from the area (and from sight), the four friends slowly came out of their hiding place and left the cave in which they managed to hide from Jonjo, Benzai and Eddie, and then Russell said to his three younger friends "Come with me, guys. We need to get out of here. We can't stay here anymore.", and with these words being said, the four friends started traveling together as they left the leopards' homelands and started on their journey to rescue their friends from Oscar's Deertaurs herd, and once they will rescue their friends, they will resume their long journey in search for a new home.
Meanwhile, back at home in Canterlot and in the royal castle, Chloe, Aylene, the mane seven and everyone else (minus Stephan and Bluebell who are both still in a coma) are all deeply worried about Andy and Zoey, since Anastasia chased them both away for what happened to both Bluebell and Stephan when they got hit on the heads by some falling roof shingles and fell into a coma while trying to protect Andy and Zoey from getting hit on the heads themselves, and during the past few days since she chased them away from home, Anastasia felt, showed and expressed no regrets for her actions, but last night, however, she suddenly started feeling a sudden pain in her lower horse stomach, and in there lies the secret which Anastasia has been trying to hide away from everyone (including her own parents and little sister) this whole time, and the true reason to Anastasia's aggressive behavior towards both younger and older male centaurs her own age, older or younger, as well as the same towards toddler centaurs who are just around the same age as Andy and Zoey themselves would turn out to be something that would shock a woman's whole family to the very core, but that was in fact none other than the real truth - Anastasia is pregnant, and she's going to be a mother very soon, but then she was also been trying to hide the fact that she's having a baby and that within a matter of a few days, she's going to be a first-time mom, and since it's been almost a full year since she became pregnant, Anastasia knows that she won't be able to hide her secret away from everyone else (including her own family) much longer, and that she would have no other choice but to tell everyone the truth.
For addition to Anastasia being pregnant with a baby inside her lower horse stomach (which is and would always be the case with centauresses), she also started feeling more and more regret with each passing hour during the night, and while feeling and suffering pain from being pregnant with her first child which will be born soon, Anastasia asked herself "I know I should've been angry with those little twins and that I should've taught them a lesson when my younger sister and their older brother were both hit on the heads and fell into a coma, but now that I think about it all over again...is banishment really the answer? I mean, is banishing a couple of toddlers like these Andy and Zoey away from their home over such an accident is really necessary?".
However, just then, Anastasia suddenly felt her heart aching before she then shook her head when she soon realized that what she did to Andy and Zoey was wrong, before she then said "No, what I did was wrong, from the start. I never should've banished Andy and Zoey away from home, I should've told them to stay so I could tell them the truth.", but then she quickly added "But then, if I do that and if I ever tell them, my own family and everyone else that this is the truth, Ron would surely want to kill me and have my lower horse hide mounted on his wall, and I'm pretty sure he would also want to have my baby for himself.", and then Anastasia asked herself "What should I do? What should I do?" as she felt the inner struggle building up inside her own body.
Then, after a few minutes of fighting the inner struggle within herself, Anastasia finally made it up in her mind and then she said "I must go look for Andy and Zoey, find them and apologize to them, and then tell them the truth behind my aggressive behavior. It was my fault that these poor little twins ran away from home, banishing them over that accident is not the answer, and since I was been trying to hide the fact that I'm pregnant with my own child throughout the last year, to me it is the right time to confess the truth to everyone.", and then she struggled to stand up on her hooves again and then she added "But first, I must find these little toddlers, apologize to them and bring them back home. I must! As a princess and a future ruler of my own home back in the centaur kingdom, it is my duty to make sure that no one is suffering and that no one is in pain, and I will not end up becoming a bad centauress and I will not continue to be mean and cruel towards innocent toddlers from my own kind just because I'm pregnant and I'm going to be a mother myself. I'm going to find Andy and Zoey, apologize to them and tell them the truth no matter what. I don't care about what happens to me, because all I care about now is to make sure that these toddlers are safe and sound and back at home.", and then the young adult centauress said and declared before she's about to go look for Andy and Zoey "Don't worry, Andy and Zoey, I promise I won't hurt you anymore, and I'm also going to make sure that you're safe and sound and that you're back at home.".
With these words being said, Anastasia decided to sneak out of the royal castle during the middle of the night so she can go searching for Andy and Zoey, find them, apologize to them and tell them the truth behind her aggressive behavior, and so she tried to keep and stay very quiet while she's sneaking out of the royal castle so not to get an unwanted attention from any of the royal guards, or even to be spotted by Shujaa, who is awake at the time, and after a few minutes of keeping and staying quiet while she snuck away, Anastasia ended up reaching and getting close enough to an open window of the second floor, and when she went to look through the open window, she saw that it's still the middle of the night, but a moment later, when she turned her head and then looked down, she saw that the ground is at least 20 feet below her, causing her to gasp in fear and take a few steps back before she then silenced herself by covering her mouth with her own hands, before she slowly went once again to look out through the open window, and since it was big enough for her size to go through it, she decided that the quickest way to get out of the royal castle is to jump through the open window, and so Anastasia tried to encourage herself as she then stepped aback from the window, and then she took a deep breath to calm herself before her brows started furrowing in determination as she looked through the open window, and then she said with no second thoughts "It's now or never.".
Then, she took off and ran as fast as could before she then jumped out of the royal castle through the open window and then she started falling down, but just as she was about to hit the ground, the totally unexpected happened - a pink magic aura suddenly started glowing inside Anastasia's lower horse body before it then slowly enveloped and surrounded her in it and kept her floating and hovering in the air and then going down very slowly, before she finally ended up having a smooth landing on her hooves, much like a duck or a plane, and once she was standing on her hooves and on solid ground, and alive and well with no injuries on her body at all, the pink magic aura slowly faded and lit off and disappeared like if nothing ever happened, and that told Anastasia one thing which turned out to be very clear - whatever the magic which came from inside her body and saved her life from crashing against the ground was, it wasn't normal and it never happened to Anastasia before.
However, Anastasia knew that now it's not the time for herself to think about why did that unknown source of magic just saved her from crash landing, because she knew that now that she's outside the royal castle, she's now able to go look for Andy and Zoey, and when she looked away into the horizon, a determined expression formed on her face before she then said "Don't worry, Andy and Zoey. Anastasia's coming to save you from trouble and take you back home, to where you belong. I'm also going to tell you both the truth about the way I behaved towards you before, that I'm in fact pregnant with a child of my own and going to be a first-time mom very soon. I also hope that you both will find it in your good little hearts to forgive a young adult centauress like me for saying such harsh words and for misunderstanding and misjudging you over such a horrible accident. I should've known that what I did to you two before was wrong, but now I'm going to look for you, find you, apologize to you two for my aggressive behavior, and make it up to you by telling you the truth.", and with all these words being said, Anastasia walked away from the royal castle and she started her long journey and began her long search for Andy and Zoey, and she hoped that she'll be able to find them, apologize to them, tell them the truth and take them back home before it's too late.
