The human girl of Equestria

by Y the monster master

Chloe is an eight years-old girl who's been abused by her own family. Willing to have a much happier life, she runs away from home, but she got attacked and she fell down a bottomless waterfall, and she accidentally ended up in Equestria. However, despite of having great fear of all kinds of animals, she accepts Princess Celestia as her mother and a new family bond began to form.

147. Chapter 146:Ron's defeat, returning home

Meanwhile, back with everyone else, they all continued to search everywhere in the dark void-like space for Andy, Zoey, Noah and Violet, but as the time passed, they slowly started losing their hopes, but that all suddenly changed when they all suddenly spotted a mysterious purple magic aura (which was in fact the same one who brought them all to the dark void-like space in the first place) slowly coming up towards them, and when they all saw the purple magic aura coming closer and closer towards them, King Edward asked and demanded "Huh? Who's there? Show yourself, right now!", but just then, soon after King Edward said that, he and everyone else all suddenly heard an evil laugh as Ron stepped forward and showed himself in person before everyone's eyes, thus revealing that he was the one who was (and still is) using the purple magic aura (with his own Unicorn horn, of course), and judging by the evil smile he have on his face, everyone else knew very clearly that the Unicorn centaur before them is a new villain and that he's also up to no good.

Then, Ron said evilly "Well, I expected you all to be here just for me!", but when they all heard what he said, King Edward asked him "Who are you, strange centaur?", and then Ron said back to him "I'm Ron, Howard's best friend and one of the most evil centaurs in all of Equestria!", and when they all heard what he said, Queen Camilla asked him "Wait, are you saying that you're actually the best friend of that old ruffian who abused both his wife and his own children?", and when he heard what the good centaur queen said, Ron said back "Yes, exactly! By the way, let me tell you all about my true intentions.", and then he added and explained "Ever since those two filthy pony princesses (Celestia and Luna), that changeling king (Thorax) and the master of chaos (Discord) destroyed my friend, Howard, I was willing to both avenge and succeed him and make sure that our evil reign will last forever!", and then he continued and said "But before you destroyed Howard, I too had a few dirty little plans in mind, and so I decided to use one of your precious daughters (Anastasia) in order to get exactly what I want!".

When everyone heard what he said, Celestia asked Ron "What are you even talking about?", and then Thorax added with a hint of anger in his tone "Are you trying to say that you're been using either our Chloe or Aylene to your own advantages?!", but then Ron said back to him "Oh no, Thorax the changeling king! I would never want to use that filthy hairless ape-girl of yours and/or make her to do as I ask her to do!" before he then laughed evilly, thus offending Chloe and hurting her feelings (because she too was with everyone else and she too heard what Ron just said about her), but just then, Aylene trotted and came up to Ron and then she flew up to his level to look at him in the eyes, before she then yelled at him in the face "How dare you call my sister a hairless ape-girl?! You should be ashamed of yourself for what you're saying about others who aren't even from your own species!", but then Ron surrounded her with his magic and then he sent her flying all the way back to the group before he said "Nobody tells me how should I treat other creatures from different species! I'm the strongest centaur in all of Equestria!".

However, just then, King Edward came close in his face and then he yelled at him "I demand that you set us all free from this dark and scary place!", but then Ron just slapped across the face and sent him falling aside before he said "Never! I want you all to be all mine! And by the way, let me tell you all about who is the one girl I used in order to get exactly what I want!", and then he asked Queen Camilla "She would happen to be a nearly 8 foot tall, 20 year-old young adult centauress with a very big lower horse stomach, and she also would happen to have a great fear of both male centaurs and youngsters, wouldn't she?", and when she heard what Ron just said to her, Queen Camilla gasped in shock when she realized who he's talking about, and then she asked in shock "Wait, are you saying that the one daughter of ours whom you used to your own advantage is...ANASTASIA?!", and then Ron said back "That's right!" before he laughed evilly at her and at everyone else who stood behind her.

When everyone heard what Ron just said about that he used Anastasia to his own advantages, they all gasped with shock, and when King Edward recovered and stood back up on his hooves, he looked at the younger male centaur with anger in his eyes before he then said "How dare you using our firstborn daughter to harm other centaurs and other creatures against her will and for your own benefits?! That's against the laws!", but then Ron said back to him "Silence, you old fool or else I'll destroy you for good along with that old hag for a wife of yours!", but when she heard what he said to her husband, Queen Camilla looked angrily at Ron and she angrily jumped up into the air and she was about to strike him with her own magic for calling her and her husband an old fool and an old hag, but before she could hurt Ron, however, she was suddenly being blasted away by a blast of a very familiar blue magic which sent her flying and falling a few yards away into the center of the group consisting of ponies, non-ponies and centaurids, who luckily caught her and saved her just in time before she could hit the ground on her back.

Just then, shortly after Queen Camilla used her own magic to stand back up on hooves again (after she was caught and saved by everyone else who prevented her from hitting with the ground on her back), two familiar teenage centaurs came up and then stopped by both of Ron's sides, and these two were none other than Bluebell and Stephan, who are now no longer in a coma (most likely being revived by Ron's magic), but then everyone were also shocked and horrified to see their faces - their eyes were glowing malevolently red, their faces looked very angry and they were even bearing their teeth in front of everyone's faces like two angry and hungry wolves who are about to attack and kill their prey, thus probably showing that not only Ron have managed to revive Stephan and Bluebell with his magic, but he also managed to brainwash them and place the both of them under his total control (and yet once again - to his own advantage).

Then, Ron stretched his right human arm and hand and pointed his own index finger at King Edward and said evilly "Bluebell and Stephan, make yourselves useful to me and kill King Edward, and once you're done with him, you can kill his wife and all of these other filthy creatures!", and when they both heard what he said, Stephan and Bluebell said together "As you wish, our king!" and then they charged and started attacking King Edward and didn't stopped, and even when Chloe, Aylene, Vanessa, Queen Camilla and everyone else called for the two of them to stop, neither teenage centaurs listened to anything they all said due to Ron's magic being strong enough to take over their whole minds and make the both of them his personal minions and henchmen.

However, just then, a big male leopard suddenly came out of nowhere and roared angrily at Ron, Stephan and Bluebell, thus suddenly getting their attention as Ron first turned to look at him and then the two teenage centaurs suddenly stopped attacking King Edward and also turned to face the leopard instead, and when Chloe, Aylene, the mane seven and some of the other creatures among the group of ponies, non-ponies and centaurids noticed the male leopard who is staring Ron, Bluebell and Stephan and making them stop attacking King Edward in an instant, they were all shocked when they recognized the leopard - it was none other than Russell himself.

When everyone saw Russell standing there and looking angrily at Ron and at the brainwashed Bluebell and Stephan, Rainbow Dash said "No way! Is that Russell? It can't be!", but then he shocked her and everyone else when he roared angrily again and yelled at the brainwashed Stephan and Bluebell "Leave the king alone!", and then he went up to them and stepped in between Ron, the brainwashed Stephan, the brainwashed Bluebell, King Edward and the rest of the massive group consisting of ponies, non-ponies and centaurids, but just then, shortly after Russell came in between all of them to stop the fight between Stephan, Bluebell and King Edward, Rainbow Dash suddenly approached him with her friends following her in tow, and once she got close enough to the red leopard, she asked him "Russell? Is that really you? How could that be?", and then she added and pointed out to remind him "You're supposed to be with Yigal, his brothers, Black Heart and their animals team! You're supposed to be one of the bad guys!", but then Russell turned to her and to her friends and said back to all of them "Not anymore!", and then he added and explained "I was a bad leopard and was supposed to be Black Heart's animal minion and henchman, but recently, she mistreated me and eventually she kicked me out of the villains' house, so now this means that I'm no longer one of them! And, as a matter of fact, following the same mistreatment and banishment from the villains' house, I chose to dump my own evil ways and horrible nature which I received from them and put them behind my back and I decided to be a feral leopard instead, but my luck changed once again when I met Andy and Zoey and ended up befriending them and joining their side after I saved their lives from a trio of jackals which were attacking them and were trying to eat them, but when I was attacked and almost got killed instead, Andy and Zoey helped me and we worked together in order to take down the jackals, and in the end, we successfully managed to kill one of them and chase the two others away, and after that, we expressed our feelings and showed and revealed our respective pains to each other, which led to us understanding and befriending each other, and that's exactly how we came to be friends with each other in the first place!".

When everyone heard what Russell said about that he recently have changed, none of them (except for all of those who were with him before) didn't really seemed to believe him, but that is until a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind him and said to all of those who didn't believed in what he said to them "He's telling you all the truth! Russell is not a bad leopard anymore! He already told me everything that happened to him before he befriended Andy and Zoey!", and just then, Anastasia suddenly came out of nowhere and then she stopped and stood besides Russell, and when everyone saw her standing besides him, they all gasped in shock (except for Russell himself, of course).

Just then, when King Edward and Queen Camilla saw their firstborn daughter standing besides Russell, the two of them quickly trotted up to her and then King Edward asked "Anastasia? What in the world are you doing here?", and then Queen Camilla added "Where are Andy and Zoey? Don't tell me that you hurt them again in any kind of way or something!", but then Andy and Zoey suddenly came out of nowhere and then they stopped and stood by both Anastasia and Russell, and then Andy said "She didn't hurt us at all, and as a matter of fact, she didn't really meant to hurt us back in the royal castle, nor she did even meant to yell at us to leave and never come back after the accident - she was forced to do all that against her own will!", but when they all heard what he said, everyone looked at Andy with shock, before Queen Camilla looked down at him and then asked him "But, if our daughter, Anastasia, didn't really meant to hurt you and/or your twin sister, Zoey, nor did that red leopard, Russell, then who exactly is the one responsible behind all of this?", and then Andy explained "Ron is the one who is truly responsible for everything bad we've been through! Anastasia is actually a good centauress and she didn't really wanted to do that to us against her own will, and Russell is also a good and loyal friend, even though he's not a centaur himself but is actually a leopard! In other words - they're both innocent! Ron is the real culprit here and he's the one who shall be punished for all of his crimes!".

When everyone heard what the toddler male centaur just said, they all gasped in shock while Ron just looked down at Andy with angry eyes and then he said "Hmmm, very well then! You're asking for it, Andy! And I'm going to make sure that you're going to get it and regret it for exposing me in front of everyone like this!", but then a familiar young male voice suddenly cried "We're not going to let you do that, Ron!", and soon afterwards, Noah came out of nowhere with Violet and Feliks following close behind him, and just a short moment later, the three got reunited with everyone else at last, and when Austin and Jenna saw that their 5 year-old son is okay and that he's also completely unharmed, the two parents were so overjoyed that they immediately went up to embrace him, and that's when the three Deertaurs shared a family hug after being reunited with each other at last.

When Jenna and Austin pulled away from Noah and then looked down at him in the eyes, the two Deertaur parents asked him in unison "Are you okay, Noah?", and then he said back to them "Yes, of course I'm okay!", but then Jenna asked him "What happened to you? Did Anastasia hurt you before you found us?", but when he heard what his mother said, Noah said back to her and to his father "Of course not! Anastasia is good all along, and Russell even told her on the way here everything that happened to him before he met Andy and Zoey and made friends with them! For addition, Anastasia even told us her secret she's been keeping from all of us for almost a full year, and she was forced to not tell it because Ron threatened her with her life if she ever tells the secret to anyone!".

When Jenna and Austin heard what their young son just said to them, they both asked him "Secret? What secret?", but then Noah said back "Anastasia will tell you all very soon, but I also promise you that you all will like it when she tells you all everything you really need to know that she was forced to not tell because of Ron!", and then the three Deertaurs turned to look at Anastasia, who is just about to tell and reveal her secret to everyone, and so she took a deep breath and said to everyone, including her own family "Well, now I think it is time for me to tell you all the secret which I was been forced to keep to myself for almost a full year and not tell anyone of you, and yet again - I was forced to not tell you my secret because of Ron.", and when they all heard what she said, everyone (except for Andy, Zoey, Noah, Violet, Feliks and Russell) looked at her with curiousity which can be seen on their faces and eyes, and then King Edward asked her "And what would that secret might be, Anastasia?", and that's when Anastasia sighed heavily and then said to everyone "The truth is...is that I'm pregnant.", and when everyone heard what she said, they all gasped in shock, while Russell and the five kids who already heard that once before (which made them already completely aware of the secret) stood nearby with understanding faces and eyes, for the fact that they already know that she's pregnant, but then the six of them also felt sorry for her too, because of the fact that Ron threatened her with her own life to not tell the secret to anyone, not even to her own family, until the baby's birth.

Then, King Edward asked his young adult daughter while still having and still showing up a shocked expression on his face "What?! Anastasia, how could you hide such thing as pregnancy from your own family just like that?", and then Queen Camilla also added while still having and still showing up a shocked expression on her own face too "Anastasia! Why in Equestria did you do that, darling?!", and when Anastasia heard what both of her parents just said to her, tears slowly started forming in her eyes and she also started trembling both in pain and in fear, feeling unable to speak or talk about it some more due to Ron being nearby and able to hear her telling the secret too, and when he heard her telling everyone else that she's pregnant, an angry scowl started to form on the wicked young adult male centaur's face and rage also started burning in his eyes, thus showing that he's not so happy to see his supposed-to-be wife turning on him and betraying him (for an instance - like in the way she does).

However, just as Anastasia was about to break down and burst into tears, she suddenly felt a small hand touching at her lower right horse foreleg and it was none other than Andy, who was just trying his best to help her get the encouragement she needs to speak up and tell the truth to her parents and to everyone else as well, and when she looked down at him and saw his face, Andy gave her a reassuring smile as he looked up at her and showed her with a nod of his head that she can tell the truth no matter what, even if Ron is nearby and would be really angry at her for doing so, and after a short moment, Anastasia turned to look back at her parents and at everyone else who stood in a very large group behind them, and then she said "I...I wanted to tell you and everyone else that I was pregnant this whole time, but I was forced to never tell that to anyone of you because of Ron. He...he threatened me that if I ever tell anyone of you that I'm pregnant, he told me that he'll come to steal my baby and take it away from me to himself and then he'll kill me and will hang my skin on his wall. He threatened me with my own life!", and once she said these words, Anastasia couldn't hold it in herself anymore and so she finally burst out loud into tears and then she started covering her face in her hands in order to hide her tears of pain, fear, shame, and even guilt.

Then, Anastasia suddenly felt a harsh bucking in the butt which caused her to scream in pain, and so when she turned around and uncovered her face, she saw Ron looking at her with his eyes are now burning with rage and a big scowl of anger can also be seen on his face, and just then, he went around Anastasia and he ended up grabbing her by her neck with his arms and hands, and then he started choking her in front of everyone else, including her own family, and as she tried to fight back against Ron's firm grip, Anastasia begged him with tears in her eyes "Please, Ron! Don't do this to me! You left me with no choice, but please, forgive me!", but then she's slapped harshly across the face by him, and then Ron yelled at her "I WARNED YOU WITH YOUR OWN LIFE, ANASTASIA! NOW YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO FILTHY YOUNG FEMALES LIKE YOU WHEN THEY DISOBEY AND BETRAY THE FUTURE KING OF ALL OF EQUESTRIA!", and then he was about to use his magic to strike Anastasia and end her life for betraying him.

However, just as he's about to destroy Anastasia for betraying him, Ron suddenly felt a small yet harsh bucking in his right hind horse leg, and so when he turned around to see who's behind him, he saw Andy standing behind him with a scowl of anger on his own face and with rage burning in his own eyes as well, and then the toddler male centaur was soon starting to attack him in the hind horse legs and was trying to deal damage to the much older male centaur's body, much to Ron's displeasure to see a 2 year-old toddler like Andy daring to fight him on his own in order to make sure that he (Ron) means no more harm to Anastasia, and so that's when Ron yelled down at him in response to his attacks "STOP ATTACKING ME THIS INSTANT, YOU FILTHY LITTLE TODDLER!", but then Andy cried back "NEVER! I WON'T LET YOU HURT ANASTASIA ANYMORE! SHE'S A GOOD CENTAURESS WITH A GOOD HEART, AND ALL YOU HAVE DONE TO HER SO FAR WAS CRUSHING HER! I WON'T LET YOU DO TO HER THE EXACT SAME THING MY OWN FATHER ALMOST DID TO ME AND TO MY SIBLINGS!", and when Anastasia heard what Andy said and then turned around to look at him, she had tears in her eyes and she couldn't believe what the toddler centaur is doing for her in order to make sure that she doesn't meets the same horrible fate which he (Andy himself) almost have met along with Zoey and Stephan back on the day their own father (Howard) was defeated for good.

However, Ron just laughed madly at Andy for a short moment before he then yelled back at him "PATHETIC LITTLE TODDLER! NOW YOU'RE WILLING TO FIGHT AGAINST ME TO SAVE THAT FOUL TRAITOR FOR A PRINCESS FROM ME?! YOU DON'T HAVE THE MAGIC YOU NEED TO FIGHT ME, AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT POWER IS!", but then Andy cried back "I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO USE ANY KIND OF MAGIC, BUT I'M STILL MUCH STRONGER THAN YOU BECAUSE I'M A GOOD CENTAUR AND I TRULY CARE FOR AND LOVE MY FAMILY AND ALL OF MY FRIENDS! YOU WILL NEVER BE STRONGER THAN ME, RON! BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A GOOD HEART!", but when Ron heard what the toddler centaur bellowed at him, he yelled back "OH, YEAH?! AND SOON YOU WON'T HAVE YOUR SO-CALLED GOOD HEART EITHER!", and then he let go of Anastasia's neck and turned and quickly grabbed Andy instead, and then he held him up by the back of the neck and gave him an evil glare, showing him an angry face complete with bloodshot eyes.

Then, Ron said evilly "I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE ALL MINE SO THAT I CAN MAKE YOU MY SON, BUT ALL YOU DID IN RETURN WAS REJECTING ME ALL THE TIME! I WAS WILLING TO MAKE YOU MY LITTLE PRINCE WHO WILL ONE DAY BECOME THE STRONGEST EVIL CENTAUR IN ALL OF EQUESTRIA AFTER BOTH HOWARD AND ME, BUT INSTEAD OF ACCEPTING ME AS YOUR NEW DADDY, YOU DECIDED TO TURN WITH YOUR LITTLE BUTT ON ME!", and then he added "SO IN OTHER WORDS - I GUESS THAT'S IT! IF YOU WON'T ACCEPT BECOMING MY SON, THEN YOU WILL END UP BECOMING MY MONSTERS' FOOD INSTEAD! I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOUR UNWISE DECISION TO REJECT ME, BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO COST YOU YOUR OWN LIFE IN RETURN!", and then Ron violently dropped Andy on the ground and then he snapped his finger, and when he did that, Sitka finally appeared out of nowhere in front of everyone's eyes, only that his six limbs (his human arms, his lower bear forelegs, and his bear hind legs) are all now being chained up as he was being brought forward by Ron's magic to watch helplessly as the wicked Unicorn centaur destroys Andy for not choosing him as his father.

Then, Ron yelled in anger "MONSTERS, SHOW YOURSELVES!", and just then, shortly after he said that, the very same saber-toothed monsters from the maze-like dungeon suddenly appeared out of nowhere and quickly went up towards Ron and also towards everyone else, only that now there aren't just two of them, there are now six of them and they're all also ready to destroy Andy for Ron's evil pleasure, and once the monsters got close enough and reached their evil master, Ron pointed threateningly at Andy and yelled "MONSTERS, DESTROY ANDY! NOW!", and when they all heard what he said, the six saber-toothed monsters turned away from Ron and slowly approached Andy and they all prepared themselves as they were about to start attacking him on the spot, much to everyone's shock and horror.

When Anastasia saw the six saber-toothed monsters slowly approaching and preparing themselves to attack and destroy Andy, she cried and begged "Ron, please tell those monsters of yours to not hurt Andy! He's just a little toddler! He doesn't deserves to meet such a horrible fate!", but then Ron said back as he turned to her and showed up a look of pure evil on his face "Oh, don't you worry about it, Anastasia! Once my monsters are done with him, YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE ARE ALL NEXT!", and then he motioned for the monsters to start attacking Andy, but just as they were about to do so, Andy looked at them with tears in his eyes as to him it appeared like nothing is going to save him now and that he's not going to live any longer, and so that's when he started crying and he yelled "STEPHAN! BLUEBELL! PLEASE, HELP ME! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! SAVE ME!", but at first, the two teenage centaurs, who are both still brainwashed by Ron's magic didn't seemed to hear or even mind his begs for help, and so it appeared like that Andy is soon going to be gone for good.

However, deep inside Stephan and Bluebell's minds, their inner senses were actually able to hear Andy's cries very clearly, and after a short moment, memories of theirs with Andy and with Zoey, as well as those with all their friends and with their respective families immediately started running through their heads and all these memories flashed back inside the two teenage centaurs' minds, and just as the six saber-toothed monsters were about to end Andy's life, tears started forming on Stephan and Bluebell's faces before their eyes suddenly changed their color from the scary and intimidating bloodshot one to their normal and respective eye colors which they always had, and that meant one good thing for everyone (except for Ron, of course) - Stephan and Bluebell are now no longer under Ron's control and they're not brainwashed anymore, which means that they're both finally back in their own senses again.

Once they're both finally back in their own senses again, Stephan and Bluebell shook their heads for yet another short moment before they looked all around themselves as their visions slowly became clear, only to reveal that now they're no longer lying down in a coma anymore, and so when they both looked to notice the huge crowd of ponies, non-ponies and centaurids, with King Edward and Queen Camilla standing in front of the crowd, the two teenage centaurs gasped in shock before Stephan asked "Does anyone of you knows where we all are?", and then Bluebell added "What's going on? Why's everyone here, and what is this place?", and when they all heard what the two of them just said, Chloe and Aylene immediately started trotting and running out of the crowd and they both went forward to hug Stephan, knowing that now he and Bluebell are both okay and are finally back to normal, and once they reached the two teenage centaurs, Chloe and Aylene both hugged Stephan tightly and then Chloe said first "Oh, Stephan! Thank goodness that you and Bluebell are both okay!", and then Aylene added "Yeah! We're so happy that you two are finally back to normal and that you're no longer in a coma anymore!", and when Stephan heard what they both said, he couldn't help but shed a few tears of joy to see his two female non-centaur best friends again after he and Bluebell were been in a coma for quite a while since the horrible accident which happened shortly before Anastasia banished Andy and Zoey away from home, but the true happiness kicked in for a moment when Bluebell also joined in on the hug and started hugging Stephan as well, thus showing him that she too is so happy to see him and everyone else (including her own family) again.

However, the good reunion moment between the four friends was suddenly cut short when they all suddenly heard a familiar scream, and so when they all turned around with their heads, they saw Andy being trapped and pinned down by one of the six saber-toothed monsters, and the one who is now pinning him down is also just a few mere inches away from striking him with its head, jaws and upper saber-like teeth, and for addition to this, the monster is also just a few mere short seconds from ending him for good right before everyone's eyes. However, luckily for Andy, Stephan and Bluebell heard his cries for help, and when the two teenage centaurs saw the saber-toothed monsters are about to end Andy in a matter of seconds, rage started boiling in their eyes and big scowls of anger also started forming on their faces, and just a short moment later, Stephan yelled angrily at the monsters "Hey, you monsters! Leave my little brother alone!", and then he and Bluebell both started charging angrily towards the monsters and they soon started attacking them, and so that's when four out of the six saber-toothed monsters turned and focused their attention on Stephan and Bluebell and decided to attack them instead, but the two others stayed behind and decided to finish Andy for good anyway, only for them to be suddenly attacked and knocked away from him by Russell and Anastasia, who together managed to get the two other saber-toothed monsters away from Andy, and so now they both need to make sure that these two saber-toothed monsters won't come any closer to him, nor will try to attack or kill him.

However, the two saber-toothed monsters soon decided to switch their intentions from destroying Andy to destroying both Russell and Anastasia instead, and so that's when they both made the first move when they quickly charged towards both the red leopard and the centauress and started attacking the both of them, and so it soon became a battle of two against two, but a few short minutes later, in mid-battle, one of the saber-toothed monsters successfully managed to grab at Russell's left hind leg with its mouth and jaws and then it started biting him with its teeth and sabers as hard as it could in order to cut deep into the red leopard's meat and flesh and also try and break his leg bones to make sure that he won't be able to fight back and will be finished off in no time, and no matter how much Russell cried in pain and also how much he desperately fought back against the larger creature, it won't let go of his left hind leg, and so it looked like Russell is going to be finished off for good right before everyone's eyes.

However, just as things seemed too bleak for Russell, the saber-toothed monster suddenly let out a painful roar and immediately released its grip of Russell's left hind leg without leaving any major or severe wounds on it, and just then, the larger creature suddenly roared painfully once again as it felt something hard hitting and beating it repeatedly on the back of its neck, and it was none other than Anastasia, who is now kicking her lower horse forelegs on the back of the saber-toothed monster's neck to make sure that it doesn't kills Russell, and as she kept kicking the creature repeatedly, Anastasia yelled down at him "You leave Russell alone, you big bully!", and after she kicked it a few more times, the saber-toothed monster let out a dying roar before its body suddenly broke apart and then turned into pieces of stone, and then the broken pieces of stone which were once the creature disintegrated into powder, thus showing that the saber-toothed monster that Anastasia have kicked and beaten is now gone and defeated, but that was only one out of six, which means that there are still five more saber-toothed monsters to go before she'll be taking on Ron in a battle of one-on-one.

As for Bluebell and Stephan, they're too doing just fine fighting the four other saber-toothed monsters which turned to attack them instead, and during the battle, Bluebell used her magic and she successfully managed to blast two of the saber-toothed monsters and explode them into pieces of stone before these also disintegrated into powder shortly afterwards, just like the first one who tried to kill Russell but was defeated by Anastasia did just a few short minutes ago, thus leaving just three more saber-toothed monsters to take down, defeat and destroy for good.

However, while Anastasia watched her younger sister and future brother-in-law taking on the saber-toothed monsters and winning, she couldn't see the other saber-toothed monster which she and Russell haven't yet defeated approaching her from right behind her back and preparing itself to jump up and strike her right on the back, and just then, the saber-toothed monster jumped up and it was about to strike Anastasia right on the back and end her life, but luckily for her, however, Russell managed to recover in time and he saw what's happening before his eyes, and so that's when he quickly managed to jump and leap up onto the saber-toothed monster's back and successfully stop it and prevent it from striking at Anastasia's back in the nick of time, thus allowing her to turn her head and look back to see Russell preventing the saber-toothed monster from striking her, but knowing clearly that he wouldn't be able to hold onto the larger creature's back much longer due to him being still injured in the left hind leg, Anastasia quickly helped Russell take the monster down by kicking and bucking it as hard as she could a few times in the face with her hind horse legs, until it also broke into pieces of stone and then disintegrated into powder like the first three saber-toothed monsters already did, thus leaving just two more to go and also enraging Ron at the same time when he saw how much his monsters and his magic are slowly failing him.

Then, Stephan and Bluebell successfully managed to deal with the last two saber-toothed monsters by making them hit too hard against each other, and they managed to do that by standing in place and waiting for them (the saber-toothed monsters) to charge towards them (Stephan and Bluebell themselves), and once they were close enough, Stephan and Bluebell both managed to jump away from each other, which resulted in the last two saber-toothed monsters hitting each other on the heads too hard, and soon after that happened, they both broke into pieces of stone and then they also disintegrated into powder, thus accidentally destroying both each other and themselves, much to Ron's pure fury and rage to see that all of his saber-toothed monsters are defeated and destroyed.

With all the saber-toothed monsters destroyed, Anastasia went up to Andy and then she knelt down to his level and asked him "Are you okay, Andy?", and when he heard what she said, Andy said back as he then stood up on his hooves again "Yes, Anastasia. Better than okay, actually.", but their moment was soon ruined when Stephan and Bluebell turned their heads to see Anastasia and Andy near each other, because when they saw the young adult centauress who hurt Andy and Zoey before present right next to Andy, they both thought that she (Anastasia) is trying and willing to mean harm to him (Andy) again, and so that's when the two teenage centaurs immediately charged towards them, and once they were close enough, Stephan jumped and knocked Anastasia away from Andy and then he yelled angrily at her as he pinned her down on her side "You stay away from my little brother, you heartless beast!", but when she heard what he said, Anastasia cried and begged "No, wait! You don't understand! Stephan, please listen to me!", but then Stephan asked her while still showing up an angry expression on his face "Listen to you?! Why should I?!" and then he added and pointed out "You hurt my little siblings' feelings, and they both did you nothing to deserve that!", but then Anastasia said back to him "I know what you're thinking about me, and I just want to say that I'm so sorry for the way I yelled at your little siblings and hurt them like I did back in the royal castle.", and when they both heard what she said, Bluebell asked her older sister "And is there something else that you still want to say to us about yourself besides how much you hurt Andy and Zoey back then?", and when she heard what her younger sister said to her, Anastasia said back "Yes, there is.".

Then, Anastasia took a deep breath and then she said to both Stephan and Bluebell "The truth is...that the reason I was so rude and hostile towards you (Stephan) and towards Andy and Zoey...was because I'm pregnant.", and just like everyone else who already heard her telling her secret, when Stephan and Bluebell both heard what she just said, they both gasped in shock before Stephan got up and stepped aback and away from Anastasia so to let her move and stand back up on her hooves again, and once Anastasia stood back up on her hooves again, Stephan asked her "Wait, so are you saying to us...that you're having a baby?!", and then Bluebell also asked "And so this also means...that I'm going to be an aunt?!", and when she heard what her younger sister and future brother-in-law said to her, Anastasia nodded her head in agreement to show them that they're both right and then she said to them "Yes, it's all true, and even though Vanessa is only 5 years old, I hope she too will accept the fact that she's going to become one of the two aunties to the baby I'm going to have, just like you (Bluebell) are going to be my baby's other auntie who is just about the right age and is also almost big and old enough to help me in caring for it once it's born.".

Then, she (Anastasia) also added "The truth is...is that I really wanted to tell you all about that I'm pregnant, but some horrible centaur who abused me to his own advantages threatened me to never tell my secret to anyone of you, because he said to me that if I'll do so, he'll come back to steal my baby and take it away from me to himself once it's born, and that same horrible centaur was also the one who forced me to become the abusive, blind-minded and hostile centauress I wasn't really meant to be at all, and so it was his fault that I yelled at Andy and Zoey and demanded them to run away and never return back home after the accident which happened when both of you (Stephan and Bluebell) were knocked out cold and fell into a coma, because he wanted to kidnap and abduct Andy and make him his own son, but after I realized my mistake, I decided to go look for both Andy and for Zoey to make sure that nothing bad happens to them out there in the wild, and also to make sure that that horrible centaur won't get exactly what he wants.".

When they both heard what Anastasia said about that she's not really the one who is to blame for Andy and Zoey's pain, Stephan asked her "What are you talking about? If you're not the one who is really responsible for Andy and Zoey's pain, then who IS the one who is to blame for all of this?", and then Anastasia turned her head and looked angrily at Ron and said as she then raised and stretched her arm and pointed her index finger at him "This is the horrible centaur who harassed me and used me to his own advantages! He's the one responsible for my hostility towards Andy and Zoey in the first place! He was the one standing behind all of this!", and then she added "His name is Ron, and he used me because he wanted to kidnap and abduct Andy and make him his own son, but when Andy refused to obey him, he (Ron) decided to destroy him (Andy) and rule all of Equestria without the need of an adopted child to succeed him! Ron is the real culprit here! He's really the one who is to blame for Andy and Zoey's pain! He's the one who should be punished forever for all of his crimes and also for doing all of this to everyone! Especially to Andy, Zoey and ME!" Anastasia yelled angrily as she, Andy, Zoey and even Russell all looked angrily at Ron, whose cover has been blown, and they're not the only ones who looked at him angrily like this - everyone else in the crowd consisting of ponies, non-ponies and centaurids also looked at him with fury and rage burning in their eyes as they all stared and glared angrily at the Unicorn centaur, who is now trapped and outnumbered.

However, despite this, there is just one thing that Ron can still do - kill Sitka for his skin, and so that's when he used his magic to show up his knife and then he levitated it up towards Sitka, who is still floating in the air with his two human arms and four bear legs still chained up so that he couldn't escape, and then he (Ron) aimed the knife right at Sitka's neck and throat, ready to end the life of the 20 year-old good male Beartaur right before everyone's eyes, and so that's when Sitka angrily said to him "Oh no! You wouldn't dare doing this! Don't you dare killing me like this in front of everyone's eyes, you monster! Equestria's rulers will make you pay for doing this!", but when he heard what the Beartaur just said to him, Ron said back evilly "I don't even care about anything you say to me, you filthy old Beartaur! Because I'm the true future king of all of Equestria, and so I listen to NO ONE!", but then King Edward yelled at him "Ron, you set that Beartaur free this instant! If you don't, my wife and I we'll both make sure that you will!", but then Ron spat at his face and yelled with rage burning in his eyes "I DON'T TAKE ORDERS FROM NO ONE, YOU FILTHY OLD MAN!", and then he turned to Anastasia and said to her with an angered expression "And as for YOU, Anastasia, or should I say in other words - my WIFE, when your baby will be born, I will take it away from you to myself! And your parents and your sisters' heads, alongside the Beartaur's skin will hang on our wall!".

However, when she heard what the wicked Unicorn centaur just said to her, Anastasia cried and yelled back "NEVER!", and then she charged towards him and then she started fighting and attacking him by wrestling against him, but after a minute of wrestling against each other, however, Ron gained the upper hand and so he managed to slap Anastasia hard across the face and knock her off her hooves, causing her to fall and hit the ground with the right side of her body, and then Ron used his magic to move the knife away from Sitka's neck and throat (without killing him first), and then he (Ron) levitated it right to his own left hand, and once he held the knife in his hand, Ron slowly approached Anastasia and then he cruelly and heartlessly said to her "Goodbye forever, my wife!", and then he raised his arm and hand up in the air, and a short moment later, he brought his arm and hand down towards Anastasia's upper human back, ready to stab her and end her life for both defying and betraying him.

However, just as Ron was about to end Anastasia's life, Queen Camilla suddenly yelled at him "That's what you think, you ruffian!", and then she lit up both her horn and her hands and then she blasted her magic up at Sitka's limbs, thus breaking off his magical bindings and restraints and setting him free, allowing him to fall and swoop down from above right towards Ron and then slash him across his upper human back with the sharp, bear-like claws on his upper human hands, causing Ron to scream in pain as he then tried to shake away the pain, but to no success, and then Sitka started attacking him while also doing everything he can to protect and defend Anastasia from him at the same time, thus showing her family and everyone else not only how strong and fierce he is when there's danger, but also how good and caring he really is compared to Ron, who is just the complete opposite of Sitka, due to his cruel, heartless and malevolent nature, which in turn makes the Beartaur good and the Unicorn centaur the one who is truly evil.

Sitka and Ron fought each other for a few minutes before Sitka gained and received the upper hand by first standing upright on his hinder bear legs, and then he raised up his left human arm and hand and just then, a short second later, he quickly moved and swiped his human arm and hand down at Ron and struck him right on the head with his bear-like claws, but that's not all - Sitka's bear swipe turned out to be the most effective move he did in the fight against Ron as it successfully managed to snap and break Ron's Unicorn horn in half, thus destroying his ability to use magic and also severely wounding and weakening him, and that's because besides just breaking his horn in the end, Sitka also managed to claw and slash Ron all across both his upper and lower bodies during the same fight, thus giving him deep wounds, injuries, scars and even claw marks all across his full body (and also giving him similar wounds, injuries and scars which were pretty much like all of those of none other than Howard himself).

With Ron now severely wounded and also too weak to fight back, Sitka held him up and restrained him with both his upper human arms and lower bear forelegs grabbing tightly and then locking their grip onto Ron's upper human arms and lower horse forelegs to make sure that he doesn't tries to make any move to escape with the last remaining power which he still has deep inside his body, thus allowing King Edward and Queen Camilla to approach him with looks of determination can be seen on their faces and eyes, and then King Edward said to Ron "Now that your horn is broken in half, and also that you lost almost all of your power, and for addition, now also that you're caught and captured, I therefore declare you the real culprit who is responsible for some of the worst crimes which defy the laws of centaurkind.".

"First - you used and forced a centauress to act and become hostile to many other centaurs as well as you also made her insult and hurt the feelings of many other non-centaur creatures against her own free will, and also for your own advantage. Secondly - you're also guilty for child abuse and for using your magical abilities to trick, frighten, torment and even attempted killing a group of young and innocent children with your own magic, and also for taunting them and threatening them that they will be all yours time after time. Thirdly - you're also guilty for committing such horrible animal abuse and cruelty on this extremely rare red leopard here who was also been through all of this and was also been threatened and abused more than once by your awful magical tricks, and for addition to this - you're also guilty for abusing this good, friendly and cute little leopard cub the same way, too. Such horrible crimes are inexcusable in the centaur kingdom and are worthy of true punishment!" King Edward said and added as Ron was declared guilty for all the crimes he did so far.

However, just then, Ron immediately spat King Edward in the face again and asked angrily "What are you thinking you're going to do with me?! The exact same thing you did to my friend, Howard?!", and when they all heard what he said, Queen Camilla said back with an angered expression "You definitely deserve to be turned into stone after everything bad that you've already done so far in your life, Ron!", and then Anastasia came up to him and added in agreement "My mother's right! It's all over for you, Ron! Now you're going to join that monster of a friend of yours (Howard) and meet with the same terrible fate just like he did!", but just then, when he heard what she said, Ron tried to pretend to show regrets for the cruelty in his actions and so he said to Anastasia and begged from her "Please, Anastasia! Have mercy for me, I beg you!", but when she heard what he said, Anastasia asked back angrily "Mercy? For what YOU did?!", but then Ron lied to her and said back "It wasn't me! It was the red leopard! That filthy big wild cat made me do all of this! I was planning on killing him for everything he have done!", but when Russell heard what Ron said about him, he started growling in anger and bearing his teeth up at him, knowing very clearly that Ron is merely talking insulting nonsense about him (which none are even true, for Russell is now already walking on the path of redemption and firm transition to the side of good).

However, since Anastasia also knew that Ron was bluffing, she said back to him with an angered expression "You're fooling everyone else who is present here and all around, just like you already fooled the children and me!", and when Ron heard what she said, he felt truly scared and intimidated for the first time in his life, and so that's when he asked her while showing his fear in his eyes to her and also to everyone else who is present all around "What are you going to do to me, Anastasia?" and then he added "You wouldn't kill your own husband just like that, would you?", and when Anastasia heard what he said to her, she lowered her tone a little bit, but when she spoke again, however, she still sounded angry as she then said to him "No, Ron. A centauress like me shall never do or mean any harm to anyone. And do you want to know why? Because I'm not like you.".

When Ron heard what Anastasia just said to him, he said back to her "Oh, thank you so much for showing me your kindness, Anastasia. You're also truly noble, I have to say.", and then he added "And I promise that I will make myself up to you. If there's something you still want me to do after everything bad that I've done, I'll be willing to do that thing for you.", and when she heard what he said, Anastasia said back to him "There's just one thing that I want you to do, Ron.", and when he heard what the young adult centaur princess said to him, Ron asked her "Oh, really? What is that thing that you want me to do?", but just then, soon after she heard what Ron said to her, the next thing that Anastasia said back to him would shock him to the very core as she first stepped forward and looked and stared him dead in the eyes, and then she said to him in a low, angry and also a deeply disappointed tone "Run. Run away, Ron.", and when he heard what she said, he asked with shock in his eyes "What?", and then Anastasia added and said back to him "Run away, and never return.".

When Ron heard what Anastasia just said to him, he was indeed shocked to the very core, and so that's when Sitka finally let go his grip of the wicked Unicorn centaur so to let him begin and go on his way and do exactly as Anastasia told him to, and after having a shocked expression on his face for a full minute, Ron apparently 'gave in' and said as he started walking away very slowly "Yes. Of course.", but then he suddenly stopped with his rear end right in front of Anastasia and added "As you wish...your MAJESTY!" he yelled angrily as he then kicked and bucked his right hind horse leg up and directly hit Anastasia hard in the upper human stomach, thus causing her to scream and cry in pain and hold her upper stomach with her human arms and hands, but just then, Ron jumped on her and managed to pin her down to the ground again and then he said evilly "THE END IS NEAR FOR YOU! YOUR TIME TO DIE HAS COME! SAY GOODBYE FOREVER, ANASTASIA!", and then he raised up his arms and hands and he was about to use them to strike Anastasia and beat her to death, for he won't ever listen to anyone (pretty much like Howard himself).

However, just as things looked bleak for Anastasia, she luckily was rescued from harm again by Stephan, Zach, Austin and all the other males, including Simon and Sitka who just very recently have joined the good side and proved their loyalty to everyone else as heroes, as they too also joined all the other males in the battle and fight against Ron and helped attacking him some more for him being unredeemable just like Howard himself, and after a few long minutes of battling and fighting him, Ron is finally being taken and levitated up into the air by both King Edward and Queen Camilla, who used their magic together to make sure that he doesn't escapes his fate, and as Ron struggled and tried to move and do his best to resist to their magic, but to no avail, King Edward angrily said to him while also looking up at him and showing up a determined expression on his face "Ron, for you being such a horrible, manipulative, abusive, ungrateful and even an unredeemable centaur, my wife, Queen Camilla, and I we're both going to show you our true power and also give you just what you truly deserve for everything bad that you've done - a taste of your own medicine! In other words - you're going to meet with the exact same fate as Howard did - you're going to be turned into stone! FOREVER!", and with these words being said, both royal centaurs used their magic together to blast two magic beams directly at Ron, thus hitting him, petrifying him and turning him into stone, just like how Celestia, Luna, Thorax and Discord have already did with Howard before, and just before Ron's head turned into stone like the rest of his body, he screamed "NOOOOOOOOO!" one last time as it didn't took long before he was completely petrified and was successfully turned into a stone statue, and thus he becomes the second evil centaur to be defeated this way, after Howard.

With Ron being petrified, turned into stone and defeated for good, King Edward and Queen Camilla turned to look at each other for a brief moment, before they nodded to each other in agreement and then turned to look back at everyone else who are all present all around, and then they both said together to everyone else in the crowd consisting of ponies, non-ponies and centaurids "Let's go home, everyone!", and when they all heard these words being said, they all nodded in agreement with the two royal centaurs, before all of those who are capable of using magic used their respective magical abilities and powers alongside King Edward and Queen Camilla, and so they successfully managed to teleport themselves, each other and all the others who aren't capable of using magic (including the stone statue of the now defeated Ron) back to Equestria.
