Thomas Narrates. "It has been a while since some of my fellow Sudrian engines and our Narrow-gauge friends had our lived changed, after the many attempts by the ruthless Decepticons lead by the malicious Megatron to control our island for the abundant coal into their energon cubes to rebuild their home world of Cybertron. During this time, we were nearly destroyed by their attempts of preventing them from conquering our Island and home world as well. We are still here after our friends the Autobots have helped saved us by transforming me and my friends into the Trainbots of sodor. Together with our friends and new locomotives who come here to become the trainbots with us, had vowed to protect all of earth and our way of living her on the Island of sodor." Then transforms from robot into tank engine mode and rode the rails to the trainbot base. "Not only we had to keep an eye on the decepticons movements and motives, we cannot forget to also be on look out for others like Dark Core and Vile- Gin on who we just defeated after learning all about the way of the shadow from a Master of the art from the trainbot world, Master- Gin." Then arrived at the entrance of the trainbot base to be greeted by Optimus Prime and some of the Autobots who arrived to enjoy some quiet time from their main headquarters in America. "As long we keep our alliances with the Autobots alive, I OpThomas Prime will do what is necessary to keep the deal alive, and at the same time do not forget to be part of our home traditions we the Engines have been a part of since before our transformations that the Autobots are about to take into for the first time."

Thomas enters the base to see that some of the trainbots have decided to decorate their base in the Halloween tradition, Optimus Prime and the Autobots never encountered a base decorated with Autumn colors. It may have not been a tradition of the Autobots but those like Bumblebee, Jazz, Bluestreak and Hound helped to decorate the base entrance.

Hound. "So, it is called what again Henry?"

Henry. "It is called Halloween, it is that time of year on our island when the children get dressed up into costumes and with an adult accompanied with the children often help them during Trick or treating time when they go door to door in hopes to gain bags loads of candy and other treats the residents of Sodor give to the children, it has been that way since it also prevents adolescent boys to have destructive behaviors that could have any of them in trouble with the residents of the Island."

Skarlowey. "I can remember a time when young boys will run a muck over the island setting fires and vandalizing stations into poor conditions."

Rheneas. "Trick or treating is a tradition going back to the beginning of the last century, to prevent the youths of the island of becoming trouble makers by throwing rocks at car windows and setting stations on fire just to release some pent-up energy."

Autobot Ironhide. "I had no idea that an earth holiday could make troublemakers of the young so easily like that."

Peter Sam. "It was usually young rowdy boys who would start these little shenanigans, that can actually lead to destruction of property, and costing a good amount of damage in the process."

Huffer. "Then what does trick or treating do to stop the young boys of earth from bad behavior like that?"

Luke. "It allows for the children a chance to dress up as someone or something else and have a fun time asking for treats if the person in front of them will give if they did not want for a trick to happen to them if they refused."

Edward. "Halloween time is also when we find among ourselves with our friends with spooky scary tales to tell, in the fun of Halloween." Thomas had to chuckle about ghost stories on the island besides his own brother Timothy was the ghost train of Sodor before letting go of his demons and returning to the railway a changed engine for the better.

Thomas. "When it comes to ghost stories it is usually Edward who would come up with good tales to tell about the railways here on sodor."

Gordon. "Ghosts on the railway, like the time Henry and I had to confront the ghost of Alfred on the railway not too long ago before he was sent away by a special coffee pot that sealed him up before he could have been sent away with his ghost in tack."

Sideswipe. "Ha, ha, you and Henry had to face a ghost, I mean we had never encountered a ghost before, not even on Cybertron."

Optimus Prime. "May be not, but I have heard tales from some of our fellow autobots who are still on Cybertron who told me a few stories that can send my servos in a cross wire."

Percy. "I bet you Autobots may have stories yet to tell us about your home world that we have not heard before. Do you know of any ghost stories of Cybertron while Edward may have a tale to tell us about the railway?"

Ratchet. "Prime may only heard of a few, but since I am the mechanic of this operation, I can tell you tales about the things we autobots had to encounter before our trip to your home world about 4 million years ago."

James. "Just make sure you don't scare yourself like I did when I told about the phantom express and became scared when I thought the phantom had caught Percy and Steven up at Ulfstead Castle years ago." It was just then that everyone had heard a ghostly whistle in the base, that startled some but not all of those who are in the trainbot base. "What was that?" The whistle was heard again, then the sounds of a steam engine chuffing up the line. While those like Luke, Duncan, Peter Sam, Huffer, and James started to get a bit jumpy of those ghost engines like sounds. Thomas stopped and listen to where the noises were coming from, by using his new mind over matter ability can now find out if there are enemies or just some practical jokers with a sound machine behind the other wall. Then followed where the source was coming from and had to confirm to everyone that the base was safe.

Thomas. "It is alright everyone, it was just Jessica and Jasper who was making a racket with the help of Jazz for the sound effects of my brother before his release from his demons." Everyone was relived and could not help but laugh about some of their Autobot friends wanting to play some fun with the Halloween spirit.

Jazz. "Uh hey train buddies, no hard feelings over some spooky sounds for the spirit of Halloween, right?"

Edward. "Do not worry, I am sure this is not the first time some of us may have experienced some form of fright like the time when Salty at the docks have told Percy on a foggy afternoon to watch out for the monster of Brendon Docks. In the end it turns out the monster was actually Cranky the crane on the docks, and like those of Henry, Toby and Myself had a laugh after being relieved about no monsters on Brendon."

Ratchet. "I can think of something scarier than your bother before his reincarnation to his new form Thomas. Have you every heard of cosmic Zombies?" The trainbots were confused.

Percy. "Cosmic Zombies? What are Cosmic zombies Ratchet, is it something I need to watch out for?"

Ratchet. "it is something of a consideration Percy. A Cosmic Zombie is a transformer whether it is an autobot or a decepticon will react as a zombie here on earth if they ever come across Zombie dust." Every trainbot was confused about Zombie dust and it was at that moment that Master Gin had entered the room and filled in what Ratchet was talking about.

Master gin. "Zombie dust was an end product of Vile-gin after gaining a sample of cosmic rust had chemically changed its properties of rusting away any transformers. To just allow for the rust to eat away of the mach's mental processor and turn the mach lose to create havoc on Cybertron and Train bot world as well. We had to put down some of our closest allies when they were too far gone after becoming exposed to Zombie dust. However, there was a way back on tainbot world that may have the key to reverse its effect of Zombie dust and return the mach back to normal."

Gordon. "What is this reverse item that can help any of us if we ever meet Zombie dust? Where should we look to find this item, you are telling us to find?"

Master-gin. "It is located back on trainbot world, located in the heart of the planet itself, to reach it those who shine the light must lead the way to where the answer does lye."

Ratchet. 'You know if we known what you did to reverse the effect of Zombie dust, then maybe we should duplicate your formula to make more for us and saving monuments here on earth as well my friend."

Optimus Prime. "This sounds interesting, finding this anti dust solution may be the key for keeping the Autobots and the trainbots of Sodor a fighting chance against Zombie dust or Cosmic rust ever to touch our processors."

Thomas. "Sounds like another adventure for Autobots and the trainbots of Sodor, but not all of us can go. Some of us need to stay here to keep watch over the earth from the decepticons and their scheming ways of taking earth at their mercy."

Percy. "Since the clue means for those who shine the light, meaning those who happen to be primes of our units and that includes me Thomas, Edward and Rosie for this job." That is when was then Rosie came up and just herd her name as she entered the base and transformed before joining up with the others.

Rosie. "What was that about us going on another adventure and what is the purpose for our venture this time that will allow for me to tag along?"

Thomas. "WE were discussing about a menacing compound called Zombie dust that Ratchet, and Master-gin had told us about after nearly getting scared by a false ghost train played by Jessica Jasper and Jazz here."

Jazz. "What can I say when you need a good sound make no hesitation on calling Jazz to give you a bit of bounce on your tracks there Rosie." Rosie chuckled as she was approaching Thomas's side as he allowed for his hand to wrap around her waist as she came close to him.

Rosie. "I like my tracks smooth riding thank you very much Jazz, besides no engine likes the idea of not rolling on the tracks when there are jobs that needed to be done."

Thomas. "And the top priority of an engine to get their jobs done before the festivities of Halloween on the Island of Sodor begin."

Then coming up from the tracks was Amy and Brandon the son and daughter of Thomas and Rosie.

Amy. "Hello everyone, has anyone see Sir Topham Hat yet? We waited for him to give us jobs on the railway and has not shown up for any additional jobs besides the usual ones for the day."

Brandon. "WE checked from the stations all the way back to his home, and no one had seen hide or top hat of the railway controller."

Thomas. "He told me that he had some business at Vicarstown to talk with one of the mainline controllers, may be the meeting might have gone longer than expected. If he does not show up before the normal jobs are done for the day, then come back to us and we will find out what has happened to our controller."

Gordon. "I will go and see if Otto and Otis may need some help with the express, I will return later friends." Then he transformed to his engine mode and rode down the tracks to make sure the Express is right on time with his sons.

Edward. "I do not like the sounds of the controller not being seen today, what do you suggest we do if we do not hear it from the controller before the day is over Thomas?"

Thomas. "Then we shall have an island wide search to find the controller, and in hopes it is not some wild goose chase." The engines Edward, Henry, James, Toby, and Emily had transformed and rolled down the line to help the young engines with their jobs for the day.

Optimus Prime. "What about the mission to find the Zombie dust cure my friend? Are you not excited about searching for an adventure beyond your home my friend?"

Thomas. "Optimus, I do like adventure, but if there are going to be problems on the railway, then it will be up to us engines of our Island home to keep things running on time and provide the promise to our visitors and guests." Then he and Rosie transformed into their engine modes and rode down the rails to seek and find out what is happening to the railway while keeping an eye out for the controller. As the number 1 engine and his friends depart on the rails the Autobots wondered about the mission to find the Zombie dust solution cure.

Prowl. "What do you think Prime? What should we do about to find the solution to Zombie dust to prevent Zombie mechs here on earth?"

Optimus Prime. "It is best that we can wait until our friends locate their controller, and to keep their trains moving forward since their top priority is to keep the good word of their railway. Besides we may need all four train primes and my own light with in the matrix, to extract the compound on train world to gather back."

Wheeljack. "What do you think Master-gin, do you think it is best to wait for our engine friends to return after their jobs for the day?"

Master-gin. "I believe they are doing what every engine would do, it is obvious that they have great pride to their railway, and it shows tremendously. If there is something going to be wrong in the process, it will be up to Thomas and his friends to find the solution and answers to their problems to work out."

Thomas and Rosie had come to knapford station to find the jobs for the engines, since this is Halloween there are special jobs for the engines before the fireworks show that the controller usually have on Halloween night

Thomas. "Since it is Halloween we will work our usual jobs and when finish we will do special jobs for Sir TopHam Hat's fireworks display for tonight." Then Thomas was given the list of jobs from the station master then announced the jobs to the young engines for their first Halloween on the Island of sodor and are very excited. Amy and Brandon are to work on their father's branch line with passengers and goods work, Chrissy is to shunt coaches and trucks in the yards. Genny is to work on her father's branch line with passenger services, goods and shunting. Danny will be working delivering heavy goods from knapford to Vicars town. Otto and Otis are arguing on who will be first to take the express, but Gordon came up and put a stop on their quarreling. It was Otis's turn to take the express first then Otto will be taking it for the evening rush leaving Otis to work with trucks in the yard later. Jason will be working on both passenger service and slow goods work today, in which he does not mind. Then he was also told that he needed to pick up the Fireworks display from Vicars town Yards for the display later that night. Then other engines were given their jobs for the day and are now determined to get their jobs done right away. Then Thomas turned to the stationmaster about the where about s of the controller.

Station Master. "All that I can remember that he was heading towards Vicars town for a meeting with a mainland controller, and the railway board about all the happenings that has happened earlier this year."

Thomas. "I will head up there and to see if the controller is close to becoming done with his meeting, and to make sure that he is able to return to run things if we cannot protect the Island and world if he is not here to run it." Then transforms himself back into engine mode with Percy, Edward, and Rosie alongside him traveled the rails to find the controller at the Vicars town station office.

At the Vicars town station office, STH was still in his meeting with a main land controller and the railway board about all the happenings with some unknown machines on the Island that is causing an uproar praises of the Sir Topham Hat's engines. The main land controller is Sir, Rupert Horace and is not too happy about the new praises of the past events that came from the Island of sodor and wants an investigation with the railway board for any miss deeds with unwanted visitors to the railways of Britain.

Sir Rupert Horace. "Please tell us again Sir Topham, about all that has happened on your Island this past year. Towering robots moving about with the vulnerability of the island residents under their severance. I mean really, you should have gotten rid of those towering behemoths and run a proper railway without their watch over you."

STH. "If you must know the Island of Sodor was visited by two groups of alien robots from their home world of Cybertron. One group were the Decepticons who came to our Island to help themselves to our coal into their energon cubes, but they came to our Island without our permission and had the nerve to rage an assault on three of my engines at the time Thomas, Rosie, and Oliver. The end result was almost a bitter blow to the northwestern Railway if it was not for the other group of Robots of the same planet the Autobots. They have helped restore the engines mentioned into who are now our Island Protectors the Trainbots of Sodor. I gave them that permission to help restore them even if it means that my engines have the ability to change their forms from Steam engines to Robots in order to defend Sodor if and when the Decepticons ever returned to create more havoc that lead to some other engines of my railway to become transformed too." Unknow to the controllers and the railway board, they are monitored by soundwave in Walkman mode listening to the meeting with interest he sends back to Megatron who was listening in good detail.

Starscream. "What is so important in listening on a meeting with a railway board and the controllers in the first place?"

Megatron. "Silence I am listening to the details of this meeting of the railway board."

Sir. Rupert Horace. "You meant to tell us that you have allowed for these alien invaders to wreak havoc on your island railway fleet and turned them into transforming locomotives. What is to prevent these new Robots on your railway from turning over on you in retaliation Sir. Topham Hat."

STH. "Only the Autobots and Decepticons who are new to our Island home, the trainbot are none other than my usual engines that have ran our lines since the very beginning. If I know of my number 1 engine, he will do all he can to protect our Island home, and the good name of our railway Sir Horace, or should I call you by the other name the other controllers are calling you. What is it again. Oh, right it is the horrid controller, and from what I have heard about you sir, is that you have a reputation of bringing down the best of railways on the British rails since the Beeching cuts."

Sir. Rupert Horace. "I only see what is fit for the good railways of Great Britain and to bring honest services to our British rails."

STH. "From the reports about you have been nothing honorable about how you run your services on the railways. You would run your engines to the ground without giving then maintenance, you charge your passenger fees to open up windows on poorly kept coaches, and not once learn how to run stations properly."

Sir Rupert Horace. "And here you are telling by allowing for these Autobots to turn some of your locomotives into fighting robots to protect you Island home. What will happen to your railway if they must venture off to fight off those Decepticons while your railway still needs passengers and goods that needed to be serviced and delivered. Have you thought about how that needed to work Sir?"

STH. "Actually, it was my number 1 who thought about a way to make sure trains are still running and on time when they must accompany the Autobots against the Decepticons. The engines and the Autobots have managed to bring a new generation of their engine classes to continue the work of their forbears in their place." The board was very impressed about how the engines and the Autobots have managed to bring a new wave of the Original engines on Sir Topham Hat's railway. They have also heard about these visiting robots from the planet of Cybertron and do know the kinds of danger the Decepticons do display, and to have the Fat Controller to have his engines to protect their Island home from the Decepticons then they have no objections on the past action of his engines of the Northwestern Railway.

Board member 1. "We have heard everything here today gentlemen, we have also witnessed the destructive powers of the Decepticons when they visited the Bringlinton yards not too long ago when they held the Duke and Duchess of Boxford against their will this past summer. Therefore, we have no objectives behind the decision of the Sodor controller when he decided to allow the Autobots to turn some of his fleet into the Train bots of Sodor. Then we favor the controller to continue with his business of his railway, in turn this meeting is adjourn." Then he finishes it off with the strike of a gavel on the table to end the meeting before the arrival of the Sodor controller's engines. Who then stopped and transformed in front of the Controllers and railway board to give a surprise to the Horrid Controller and the delight of the board members of the British railways as they exited the Vicars town office. Soundwave on the other hand was nervous, he knows that Thomas has the ability to detect any decepticon no matter how well hidden they can be.

STH looked and addressed his engines about their presence at the Vicarstown station. "Thomas, Edward, Percy, and Rosie what has brought you all over here to the station?"

Thomas. "forgive us sir, we just wanted to see if you had finished with your meeting today sir. The children found us earlier and waited for your arrival to give them the jobs for the day. The children came to us to see if we knew of your where about s sir. I just came by to make sure you are safe and sound."

STH. "Of course, I am alright, we just finished with our meeting and are now ready to continue our work here on the railway Thomas." But Thomas can sense that not everything is alright. He senses the presence of Soundwave on the lower corner of the station Office window.

Thomas. "Not Quite sir, I believe you had an unexpecting participant to your meeting sir." Then everyone turned their attention to the Office window to spot Soundwave on the sill. Thomas uses his extraction beam from his lamp and decided to hold on to soundwave until they were clear of the station. Soundwave tried to reason with the Trainbot Prime but was proven to be fruitless.

Soundwave. "Release and remain reasonable."

Edward accompanied Thomas as they escorted the decepticon clearly out of the station and decided to boot him off the island with a clear message.

Edward. "The only thing reasonable you and your fellow Decepticons can do is to never return to our Island, and to leave us in peace." Then Thomas decided to let go of soundwave after Percy had found a sealable container that soundwave despises now after the last one he was locked away in. Then Thomas lowered Soundwave into the container and Percy had sealed him up before sending the contained Decepticon on a trip out to sea on a motorized toy boat that Edward decided to program it back to the decepticons and have them release soundwave when he arrives at their location. Soundwave was not please and was humiliated about returning to base sealed in a container bound to the Decepticon base. "Now you and your fellow decepticons be good and do not bother us again." Thomas had to chuckle on his mentor's cheekiness on the departing decepticon.

Thomas. "Ha, ha, ha, I thought I was the cheeky one on this team."

Edward. "Let's just say that I am more glad that he is gone before any damage can be inflicted on our Island, I just wish there was a way to prevent their way of creating destruction while business as usual Thomas."

Thomas. "That will be up to Megatron if he had his way of doing things Edward. Right now, it is best to get everything ready for our Halloween night, right Sir?" Then the Sodor controller and the railway board were now impressed on how Thomas and the others can find ways of preventing decepticons of committing destructive offences on the Islands residents.

STH. "That is correct Thomas, now that the meeting is declared over, we can now concentrate on the festivities tonight." Everyone agreed, and the engines had transformed into engine modes turning back the way they came in and allowed for the controller to climb aboard Thomas and the cattle clave of engines rolled down the tracks to knapford station. "Thank you for the lift Thomas."

Thomas. "My pleasure sir. May I ask what the meeting was about sir? I am curious about what Soundwave was listening to while you were in your meeting with the board and the other controller."

STH. "You and the other engines may have herd of Sir. Rupert Horace from the main land, right?"

Thomas gave a concern look and wondered if it was who and the others heard about. "You mean the Horrid Controller right sir?"

STH. "Correct Thomas, he came over wanting to know all that had taken place this past year with our Visiting Cybertronians. I have told them that the railway needed to protection of the trainbots with the help of the Autobots who helped restored you engines to protect our Island home from the Decepticons."

Percy. "Why on earth would he find interest in what we do on our island, when he has no saying on what goes on here?"

Rosie. "Besides we done no harm to the decepticons when they first came to the island and they could have left us alone in the process. They however chose not to and used our near destruction of us to get away from fighting the Autobots while they left with the energon cubes made from our Island coal."

Edward. "The decepticons have proven time and again how dangerous it could have been if they continued their way of conquest and converting earth's resources for their energon needs. The habit-ants of earth would not safe if the decepticons have it their way."

STH. "I do know how dangerous the Decepticons can be and we do know how wonderful it was that you and the other engines have the ability to defend out island home from the Decepticons."

Thomas. "With the help of our Autobot friends sir. If they did not help us when we were close to becoming gone to this railway sir, I fear the worse for the Island of Sodor and its residents."

STH. "He really had no business on what goes on this railway anyways and the board had approved on how things were running on this railway. As long you engines and the autobots have sound minds and strong vows that make you all a wonder to the island Thomas." That reminded Thomas about another matter before they were brought down the railway by Amy and Brandon earlier.

Thomas. "That reminds me sir, earlier we were decoration our trainbot base for Halloween before we were interrupted by Amy and Brandon to find you sir. There was a discussion about visiting the trainbot world to find a substance that can cure off some dust and prevent a condition known as Cosmic Zombie after becoming exposed to a chemically enhanced substance called Zombie Dust."

Edward. "We were hoping to travel to the planet to retrieve a possible cure to the Zombie ism and return any of our friend back to normal."

STH. "Traveling to the cosmos to find a cure to rusting bots and cons, now that would be an interesting trip, any plans of where and when you will go for this substance yet Thomas?"

Thomas. "Not yet sir. We had not yet discussed on who will be going on this mission to the trainbot world and to find this healing compound."

Edward. "The trip did include the primes and it may also include Optimus Prime as well sir."

Rosie. "At the same time we need for those to stay here on earth while on this quests to the trainbot world."

The scene changes as the autobot insignia with a one next to it changes to the decepticons insignia.

Deep below the depths of the ocean, lies the decepticon base where the seeker Thundercracker had emerged from the depths and retrieved the canister that held tight the third in command Soundwave back to the decepticon base. Then Skywarp had the honors of opening up the canister and released the humiliated decepticon returning the same way he returned to the base before.

Soundwave. "Repeating humiliation appalled."

Starscream. "So, what exactly have we manage to achieve from that railway meeting Megatron?"

Megatron. "It appears that other controller may have a rival within the British railways, a controller who rather run his engines to the ground and demands fares to service his visiting riders."

Skywarp. "What reason should we make amends with that human of all things we had allied with."

Megatron. "By using his doubt able belief of Autobots and the trainbots of Sodor, becoming protectors for the Island of Sodor, and beyond its shores."

Thundercracker. "Meaning you are using this flesh creature to use his nature of a controller for our advantage aren't we Megatron?"

Megatron. "Affirmative, Thundercracker, we just need for him to be convinced about how the Autobots and the nature of the Trainbots of Sodor actually becoming a nuisance, instead of becoming a protector for the island of sodor."

Starscream. "Are you sure about this Megatron, Opthomas Prime had already demonstrated his ability to remove unwelcomed guests from a private meeting about the railways."

Megatron. "May be to the railway board, however this other controller known as the Horrid Controller, is still unconvinced about the Northwestern Railway allowing for the Autobots and now the Trainbots of Sodor to be running lose freely and beyond his control. We will find a way to make contact with this Horrid controller, and to convince him about our truths with our adversaries and have him see things our way. Bwshahaahha!"

What does Megatron mean about having the horrid controller seeing things in the Decepticon way, and this substance our sudrian heroes and their Autobots allies to journey to another world to retrieve a substance to help cure rust and a product called Zombie Dust. We will find out on the next Sudrian Transformation the Halloween special.
