With everyone now being captured by Ron, we're going to see where did he took them all. Down underground, in a dark place that appeared to be a dark void, everyone found themselves all together, but those who weren't with and/or among them were Andy, Zoey, Anastasia, Sitka, Violet, Noah, Russell, Feliks and the still unconscious bodies of Bluebell and Stephan.
When everyone looked around the dark void-like place around them and didn't yet know what's going on, King Edward asked "Where are we?", and then Queen Camilla added "What is this place?", and then Shujaa asked them and everyone else around "Who do you think have brought us all here?", but then Kenai said to him "I don't know, Shujaa." and Agatha also added and said in agreement "Yeah, me neither.".
However, just then, they all heard a male voice saying to them and asking "Who are all of you?", and then another male voice asked "What are you all doing here?", and so that's when Chloe, Aylene, Shujaa and everyone else turned around and they all soon noticed the new creatures (Austin, Jenna, Igor and Simon). When everyone noticed and saw the four new creatures before their eyes, King Edward and Queen Camilla both stepped forward and then they both asked together "Who are you four?", and then Austin introduced himself, his wife and their best man (Igor) to everyone and said "I'm Austin, and these are my wife and best man - Jenna and Igor.", but then the royal centaurs' youngest daughter, Vanessa also stepped forward and asked as she then pointed a finger at Simon "And who's he?", and that's when everyone, including the Deertaur couple and bull Rhinotaur turned to notice him.
When he noticed that everyone are looking at him, Simon didn't panicked or cowered in fear, instead - he introduced himself out of free will as well and while also explaining his intentions to join the good side at the same time "I'm Simon, and it's my pleasure to meet all of you, everyone. Also, I would like to explain to all of you about myself and about my intentions to join all of you.", and then he added and explained "I was once a member of a herd of extremely bad, horrible and abusive Deertaurs who always obey and follow a ferocious leader whose name is Oscar, and his three loyal friends, his second-in-command, Roger, his third-in-command, Raymond, and his cruel and heartless future mate, Charlotte, who is the only Deertauress and only female member in the herd.", and then he continued and said "I used to be on their side despite they were all cruel and heartless to other creatures, even to other Deertaurs who aren't part of the herd, but recently, I decided to change and prove myself worthy to the good side by setting the prisoners free and help them escape from Oscar and from the rest of the herd, and that's not the only good thing I did to prove myself as a good Deertaur - the next thing I did is that I ditched Oscar and the herd and chose to leave them and never return so that I can live the rest of my life as a good creature who will have true friends who will truly love and accept me with all their hearts as one of their own.", and then he finished and said "It would be my honor to join your side and become one of you.", and with these words being said, Simon gratefully bowed down his head in respect to show everyone that he's telling the truth about himself wanting and willing to have a new life as a good Deertaur among everypony and every creature in the good side.
When everyone heard what he said, Zach stepped forward with Layla and Timmy following him in tow, and then he said to Simon "Well, I must say, welcome to good side, Simon. It's a pleasure to have another teenage boy in the team, and coincidentally, you're not the only one here who previously lived with such extremely bad, horrible and abusive herd members, because I've been through such terrible things as well.", and then he added and explained "Allow me to explain my story to you - I too used to be a member of a herd of extremely bad, horrible and abusive Zebrataurs, from my own species of course, and they too always obeyed and followed a cruel and heartless leader who is in many ways like that Oscar whom you just spoke of.", and then he continued and explained "So, what am I saying is that who I'm trying to talk to you about is my former leader, Brandon, and he's indeed in many ways just like that Oscar. Brandon always used to torment and abuse me in order to make me do lots of things for him that are far beyond my own strength and limits. Things that I was unable to do on my own because they were too hard for just one Zebrataur to do alone. And, later on, he insulted and banished my girlfriend, Layla, and her little brother, Timmy, away from the herd and even tried to twist Stephan against his own self and successfully managed to make him yell at Bluebell and even call her a loser and a jerk and make him break his bonds with her and make her cry, and as a matter of fact, I actually spied on all of you from nearby back then and saw the whole thing myself, and that's before I too was banished later on, and the sight of seeing Stephan breaking his bonds with Bluebell made me feel really sad for her, but then I also felt really angry and mad at Brandon that I wanted to just run into him and then buck him really hard a 120 times in the crotch so that he'll feel the pain he caused not only to Bluebell, but also to my own girlfriend, Layla and to her little brother, Timmy, back then.".
However, when everyone heard what Zach said about where he was when Stephan hurt Bluebell while he was under Brandon's influence, they all gasped in shock, and even Timmy and Layla looked at him with both shocked and surprised expressions, and just then, Layla said to him "I can't believe it! So you did cared about Bluebell's feelings too, right, Zach?", and then Zach turned his head and nodded to her in agreement before he then turned his head to look back at Simon and continued and said to him in front of everyone else "However, despite I really wanted to hurt Brandon for turning Stephan against Bluebell, I knew I couldn't take on him all alone and/or all by myself because just like that Oscar, Brandon too had a second-in-command who is in many ways just like that Roger.", and then he added and explained "Who am I going to talk to you about right now is Biff, who is the largest, most muscular and strongest Zebrataur in Brandon's herd, and he always looked up to him and he would always dare fight alongside him when they face their enemies, and when Stephan and I we fought together and alongside each other against the two back then in the Crystal Empire, Biff has proven to be too strong even for two centaurs at once, and that means that he almost killed us himself using his massive muscles in both his upper human body parts and lower zebra body parts together, and that if it weren't for Bluebell to interfere and stop him in time by using her own magic to throw him out of the Crystal Palace through the window and make him hit the crystal road and crash land outside the Crystal Palace, Stephan and I we both would surely be dead together and at the same time because of Biff being too strong and powerful even without magic.".
When King Edward and Queen Camilla both heard what Zach said about that he and Stephan both were almost being killed at once by Biff and that Bluebell was in fact the one who managed to save them both in time, the centaur king and queen gasped in shock to realize that their second-born daughter is actually strong and powerful enough to use her own magic against much larger and ferocious enemies as big as Biff or even as Roger (who is most likely around the same size as Biff, when not including Roger's deer antlers which he have on top of his head), but just then, a short moment later, the two soon shook their heads and snapped out of their shocked states before King Edward said proudly "Well, that's my second-born daughter!", and then Queen Camilla added "I'm so glad she managed to use her own magic to take out that beast all by herself!".
Then, Zach continued and said "Anyway, before Stephan and my battle against Brandon, Biff and the rest of the Zebrataurs herd at the Crystal Empire, Brandon ditched Stephan behind in midway and even kicked dirt in his face because he was tired and he was unable to keep up with the rest of the herd, and as for me, he banished me too later on as well, but my banishment from Brandon's herd was much less insulting and much more brutal compared to Stephan's, because when I was unable to keep up with the others because I was tired too, Brandon and Biff called me useless and then they started beating me for being unable to keep up with the rest of the herd, before they dumped me and left me behind with serious injuries covering my whole body, and that was also before Stephan found me, but once he did, I told him that I got kicked out of Brandon's herd for being unable to keep up with them too, and so that's when he started caring for me and we soon became friends, and once we got reunited with Bluebell, Layla, Timmy and with all the others, we all went together to the Crystal Empire to stop Brandon, Biff and all the rest of the herd, and the rest of this you all already know because some of you already saw it yourselves as well as I already have told this to all of those who haven't seen the fight against the Zebrataurs herd in the Crystal Empire.", and then he concluded and said "So, what am I actually trying to say not just to you, Simon, but also to everyone else around here as well is that Oscar and Brandon are many ways just like each other. They're both cruel and heartless towards others, they both torment and abuse others to make them do things which were too hard for those whom they chose or sent to do, and for addition to these, they both abuse adults and children of all ages, thus showing their mad and sadistic natures to all others. In other words - they're the same!".
When everyone heard what Zach just said about Brandon and Oscar being the same as evil as each other, they all gasped with shock while only Simon looked at him with a surprised expression, before he then said "Oh gosh, I didn't know that. I had no idea.", but then Zach said to him "Hey, it's okay though, because all that matters is that neither of us have to do whatever they tell us to do, we're both free to do whatever we want, and these two cruel and heartless, yet also should be said poor excuses for leaders should both be ashamed of themselves for the many ways in which they both treated us and many others, from demanding others to do impossible tasks to abusing both adults and children just for fun.", but then, soon after they all heard Zach saying that, Austin said and asked "Speaking of children, where did Zoey go?", and when they all heard what he said, everyone turned to him, and that's when he added and explained "Well, I mean, she was supposed to be with me after Simon rescued us, but when that unknown purple magic teleported us here, I ended up here with all of you, but I don't see Zoey anywhere around.".
When everyone heard what he said, they all gasped in shock before Vanessa said "Oh no, so she must be somewhere probably all alone right now, and if Anastasia was also brought here to this place too...", and then, that's when Jenna added and said "Then she must be going after Zoey, and probably she's also after Andy too!", and when everyone heard what both Vanessa and Jenna both said about the possibility that Anastasia is around here somewhere at the same place and that she must be still going after both Andy and Zoey, King Edward said "Everyone, follow me! We must find Andy and Zoey before Anastasia does! We need to make sure that my firstborn daughter means no harm to them ever again!", and then Austin said to him in agreement "Yes, of course! I don't even want to imagine what she still have in mind for these good little toddlers, and not to mention - for our own son, Noah! We better go look for them and do whatever we can so that we can all find them before Anastasia does!", and so that's when King Edward said back to him and to everyone else "Everyone, let's go! If Anastasia is indeed here in this place just like all of us, then she must be still going after Andy and Zoey! We must hurry up, look everywhere around in this place and try to find them before she does!", and so with these words being said, everyone started trotting, galloping and running as fast they all could in order to look around everywhere and search for Andy, Zoey and for the other children (Noah and Violet), and they all hoped that they will be able to find them first and also before Anastasia does.
