after the devastating hurricane that hit sodor and the surrounding islands of England, wales, Ireland, isle of man, and even the town of pontypandy was hit by the storm, the people of the town where safe but the town that they had known for so long had been destroyed.

Norman price came up to sam.

"uh fireman sam?" he asked.

"yes Norman?" sam replied.

"where are we going to live now, pontypandy is now gone!" Norman said.

"(sigh) I honestly don't know Norman price but we can't stay here anymore our homes are gone!" said sam in dismay.

then station officer steel had a brainwave.

"by Jove I've got an idea, I just read an ad about this island called sodor, where apparently the railway is operated by living locomotives and it even has what's called a search and rescue center!" station officer steel said.

"great fires of London, really station officer steel?" sam asked.

"yes sam I was going to tell all of you that we can move there if at any case pontypandy is destroyed. and seeing that my worst fears are now known I believe it is time to head to sodor." he said." since Jupiter survived the hurricane and so did Saturn we will go to barrow in Furness to catch the island's big express known as the wild nor wester." said steel.

that afternoon the former pontypandy residents arrived at Barrow-in-Furness station where Gordon was talking to another engine and both where laughing.

"a-and then- ha-ha and then Thomas says -ho-ho-ho bust my crank shaft! OH-HO-HO-HO-HO!" Gordon laughed and the other engine laughed too.

just then the two engines here a voice clearing his throat.

"ahem?" station officer steel cleared his throat.

"uh who are you?" asked Gordon.

" I am station officer steel former chief of the pontypandy fire department." said station officer steel.

"PONTYPANDY?!" Gordon shouted.

"yes now I would like it if we could get a ride down to knaphord station please?" station officer steel asked just then noticed that sam was not with them.

"uh has anyone seen sam?" steel asked.

"I'm over here sir and you might want to take a look at this!" shouted sam.

Gordon uncoupled the coaches and followed them into the scrapyards.

there to everyone's amazement there was a huge tarpiling that covered something big.

when sam removed the tarp he found an engine covered in rust with water cannons and a breakvan on the back.

"hello there" said the engine. "who are you?"
