A full month have passed since Sitka and Anastasia's fight against Brutus and Margaret at Sweet Apple Acres, and right now, they're almost fully healed and almost ready to leave Ponyville Hospital, but that's not all. Anyway, right now it's already 68 months (5 years and 8 months) since Chloe first arrived in Equestria, as well as it's also 56 months (4 years and 8 months) since Aylene became her sister, and today, the two are so excited, and all their friends and allies are all expecting to make, prepare and throw a special party for Chloe since something very good and special is going to happen to her - she's finally turning 14 years old and she's also ready and willing (along with Aylene) to celebrate her fourteenth birthday, which will come in only three days, and that was enough time for everypony and for every creature to work together and make and prepare the special birthday party they're all going to throw for Chloe to celebrate her fourteenth birthday, and at the same time during these three days, Sitka and Anastasia will be leaving the hospital and joining and helping everyone else in the preparations for Chloe's fourteenth birthday.
Meanwhile, around the same time and in the Everfree Forest, the Everfree Forest's united herds are all doing just fine all together ever since Queen Tukta's oldest grandson, Shufai have reformed himself and became a good elephant, and ever since his redemption, Shufai started making good friends with all the other animals who joined and came to live with the herds, both big and small, and thanks to Flower the meerkat (one of Shufai's smallest best friends which he eventually befriended and bonded with), he became the good elephant he was really meant to be, but despite we already know of his redemption (which some of us might've forgotten due to some of the following events, such as Howard and Ron's defeats, as well as Charity and Faith's births and Russell's redemption), there's one thing that Shufai himself and even his younger, juvenile sister Kyra still don't know is coming very soon - the upcoming birth of the newest member of the Indian elephants herd, and the calf will be born to Shufai and Kyra's mother, and that in turn will make the mature adolescent and young juvenile elephant siblings a big brother and a big sister for the newest, future member of the Indian elephants herd of the Everfree Forest.
However, that's not all - in the deepest parts of the Everfree Forest, Black Heart have found and received a new animal which in turn replaces Russell (who have since reformed and joined the good side). Black Heart's new animal companion and the newest addition to the villains' animal team is a lone adult male melanistic spotted hyena whose fur is completely black (which in turn would make his dark spots invisible against his fur, similar to Tony Black's own black fur which makes his own dark stripes invisible against it the same way, and also - due to his melanism). The pure black spotted hyena's name was Chunga, and since it was already said that he was a lone hyena with no clan, this means that he's not part of Queen Thandi's spotted hyenas clan (which we already know of because Chloe, Aylene and Stephan have already visited their territory and have already met them before, alongside King Upali and his Atlas bears family, which share the same territory and also live in peace with the hyenas).
However, despite the fact that he's a lone hyena, Chunga was actually very social and he quickly formed a loyalty bond with Black Heart, thus replacing and throwing out the severed bond which she have had with Russell (before he reformed and chose Rainbow Dash as his best pony friend), and when he was brought to the villains' house to meet with all the other villains, he was accepted as the newest addition to their animals team, and Tony Black was quick to both befriend and bond with him because they're both mammalian carnivores who share the same extremely rare mutation that almost no other tiger or hyena anywhere in Equestria has or already have, and that made them inseparable, regardless their separate species, but then we all know what that also means - there's a new villainous animal who is willing and eager to help the villains conquer Equestria, one who is a melanistic mammalian carnivore just like Tony Black himself is (and is also best friends and partners with him), and so with Tony Black and Chunga being both melanistic mammalian carnivores as well as new friends and partners, that's going to be a big problem to fight them, especially if they're going to attack at night (due to their same skin and fur colors and their shared melanism).
The following day, Yigal, Gilad, Ezra, Black Heart and their animals attacked the Everfree Forest's united herds, but unfortunately for the villains, they were both chased and were driven off by the herds' six strong and fearless leaders (Queen Tukta, Angalifu, Mekong, Sariah, King Mebaya and Queen Zhenya), and so with the attack (which was during the day) coming out a complete failure, Tony Black and Chunga talked to each other and they decided to go outside and attack together during the night, because both mammalian carnivores are purely black due to their shared melanism, and so therefore they will be able to attack and frighten all the small and young animals and cause them all to cry and panic without having all the large and adult animals noticing them doing so.
Later that night, Tony Black and Chunga went outside and then the two went together all the way to attack the Everfree Forest herds at night (like they planned), and this time, no one could see them coming and/or attacking properly due to the both of them being purely black, melanistic and invisible against the dark, which gives both Tony Black and Chunga their advantage to attack other animals at nighttime, and also, regardless their differences in species, the two mammalian carnivores are now friends and partners indeed and it appears that nothing is going to stop them from attacking the Everfree Forest's united herds, and like it's already said - since they're both purely black, melanistic animals, no one could see them coming and/or attacking properly in the dark, which gives Tony Black and Chunga the advantage they both need in order for their attack at night to come out a complete success.
Meanwhile, around the same time, Shufai and Kyra's mother was fully awake during the night and because she was fully aware that she's already 22 months pregnant (elephants' gestation period lasts 22 months), she went away from the united herds to a safe place where she can give birth to her calf privately and without any problems or interruptions, but a little did she know is that she's about to come face-to-face with two unwanted visitors who are on their way to attack the herds - none other than Tony Black and Chunga themselves. Later, in about 2 A.M., Shufai and Kyra's mother finally delivered a healthy baby bull (male) calf whom she names 'Filimon', and in no more or fewer than 20 minutes, 'Filimon' was already able to stand up on his feet and take his first steps.
However, despite the calf was already born, a little did the mother elephant know is that she and her calf are now being stalked by Tony Black and Chunga, who were attracted to them by the scent and smell of fresh blood from the afterbirth, and upon spotting both the mother and her calf, the two melanistic mammalian carnivores decided to change their plan from attacking the united herds to attacking the mother elephant and her calf instead, and so now Tony Black and Chunga want to steal, kidnap, and then kill and eat the newborn calf, because in the animal kingdom, the younger the animal is - the tastier its meat and flesh would be, and so it's very likely that a newborn elephant calf's meat tastes much better than the adult elephant's meat (to predatory animals, of course).
Just then, Tony Black and Chunga both approached closer stealthily and kept stalking Filimon (the newborn elephant calf) and his mother, and so with them being close enough to the two elephants, the two villainous and melanistic mammalian carnivores waited for an opportunity to charge and attack the newborn calf, and they knew exactly when to strike - when Filimon and his mother both turn tails and start walking away from where they are now and go back to where the united herds are located (and can be found) all together. Then, shortly afterwards, Filimon and his mother both turned tails and then they started walking away together and so they went back to the main area where the united herds are to be found, and the mother elephant (Shufai and Kyra's mother) was also planning to introduce her surprise calf (Filimon himself) when morning arrives and when all the animals in the united herds will be fully awake, not yet aware that she and her newborn son are being stalked from behind by Tony Black and Chunga, who eyed Filimon and licked their lips and jaws both hungrily and evilly upon choosing and targeting him as their prey, and the two also prepared themselves to follow and then strike and get exactly what they both want.
And then, it happened - Tony Black charged towards Filimon and he was about to attack him, but when he heard the tiger approaching him and then he turned around and saw his glowing eyes (predators' eyes usually or always glow in the night and/or in the dark) coming towards him, Filimon started crying in distress, and when his mother heard his cries and then she turned around as well and saw Tony Black's glowing eyes coming towards them, she soon realized what the black tiger is trying to do and so she started charging towards him, now completely aware of his presence due to his glowing eyes, and when Tony Black saw the mother elephant angrily charging towards him, he jumped up into the air and tried to strike her right on the left side of her face, but she managed to protect and defend both herself and her newborn baby son by slapping Tony Black hard across the face with her trunk, thus sending him flying away into the distance, before he then fell down and landed inside a big bush and got hit on the head with the largest and thickest branches inside it, thus getting defeated (but not killed).
However, shortly after she took out Tony Black, the mother elephant suddenly heard her newborn son screaming and trumpeting for help, and so when she turned around, she saw Filimon being attacked by Chunga, who said to the newborn calf "Tasty, tasty beautiful baby elephant!", and then the black hyena opened his mouth and jaws wide, thus showing up his sharp teeth and fangs, but before he was about to deliver the blow, the mother elephant yelled at him "Oh no, you don't!", and then she charged towards Chunga and she swung her big and powerful trunk and launched him away from her son Filimon, who is luckily unharmed and sustained no injuries from the attack, and as for Chunga, he flew to the distance from the powerful swipe he just received from the mother elephant's trunk, and so he ended up hitting with his back and also with the back of his neck and head against a big tree, and that was enough to knock him out cold as he then fell off from the tree to the ground and laid down unconscious, defeated, but luckily, not dead or killed.
Then, with Tony Black and Chunga taken out and defeated (but not dead or killed), Filimon went up to his mother and he is rewarded with a big motherly hug from her long and muscular trunk, and after a few long moments of comfort and reassurance, the mother elephant broke her hug with her newborn son, and so that's when the two started walking together back to the main area and part of the Everfree Forest - the main area and part of the Everfree Forest where all the other animals (the united herds) are living together in peace and with each other, and also, we can say that with Filimon's birth, that means that another new good baby animal is born into the world of Equestria.
