" back on sodor, the engines, where confident, cheerful and determined to not let diesel twelve get the better of them."
"back at Burnett stone's work shop he was trying all the different parts to try and get them operating but he was losing hope, he didn't realize that patch was coming in from behind, Burnett whirled round and pointed a flashlight at him and looked at him questioningly."
"how did you find me here?" he asked.
"I found the entrance to your workshop ages ago, but I would never tell anyone." patch said.
"you see that light switch over there? flip it on." Burnett said. patch did as he was told and flipped on the switch and gasped.
"I guessed there was something different about this mountain." he said.
"all mountains have there secrets patch, you of all people should know that now." Burnett said then threw a dust rag at patch. "here you can help me dust them off, these engines names are Koko and Wilson."
"why are they locked up?" patch asked.
"they aren't, there safe from harm, long ago there controller and I made a mistake as there caretakers, an evil diesel found them and threatened to destroy them, he chased them, but never caught them as he had ran out of fuel, years later unknown to us all he found them and threatened to destroy them again, he chased them again, and they both ran out of fuel, he made them go to fast after they had caught up with Chatsworth's runaway, then he crashed them, causing a huge explosion which chard them so badly that they now only have a few months to live, I brought them here, I tried my best to fix them up, but I ran out of time, I never made up for the mistake I made that day." he said with a sigh. "patch, there as prescious as gold it's self."
back on sodor.
"scrapper you capture the real me I mean that-that's beautiful, I could cry." diesel twelve said.
"ah uh boss" said a voice.
"yeah we are here" said another.
"ah uh listen up you two I've got a job for you splodge." said D12.
"actually it's splatter." said splatter.
"and- and dodge." said dodge.
"I AINT GOT TIME TO SAY BOTH NAMES" growled D12.
"ah a well" said the two diesels in unison.
"I've come back for two diesels." said d12.
"ah that's easy" said dodge.
"yeah there everywhere" said splatter.
"not the ones I want, they escaped me twice before, as long as they exist so do the others, but if they can be destroyed?" said D12
"d-destroyed? did you say destroyed?" asked splatter.
"d-word" said dodge.
"like hurt?" asked splatter.
"yeah destroy" said D12.
"well theres just one small problem, there boss" said splatter.
"yeah mister conductor and his apprentice is coming and they wont let you destroy" said dodge.
"yeah they wont let you" agreed splatter.
"I CAN DO WHAT EVER I WANT I'LL GET THEM TOO, WITH SCRAPPER" said D12 with a evil laugh, then his claw snapped twice and hit diesel on the noggin.
"ow scrapper, I hate it when you do that." he growled.
back at shinning time.
" I appeared in front of stacy who was talking to some one on the phone, when a fish spoke to me"
"I'm sorry what did you say?" I asked.
"(blub-blub-blub)" said the fish.
"oh well thank you moby dick that's very nice of you, you know gold really is your color." I said.
stacy had just finished talking when I noticed the old painting.
"stacy? where did you find this old painting?" I asked.
" in an old locker, done by burnett stone when he was a child, I was told he used to work on this railroad, but he never leaves the other side of the mountain now, you seem puzzled mister w?" asked stacy.
"well I am puzzled this place looks like the island of sodor and chuggington, but how would he travel there with out gold dust, sparkle and lady are the only things to travel since the two diesels vanished, anyway I came to say good bye, I have to go now" I said about to blow my whistle.
"right now?" asked Stacy.
"why yes, you see I like mister conductor have to make sure that everything is safe and sound on the island of sodor and in chuggington, just as mister conductor and I try to do here." I said before whistling.
"like Stacy mutt sensed danger, he didn't want either billy or me to leave shining time"
"old smoky you stay there until I get back, ah what do we have here?" I said then asked. " Is something wrong here?" I asked.
"mutt whines and I chuckled."
"now what kind of answer is that?" I asked, then I groaned. " I'm going to be late, I try to get back as fast as I can mutt, I'm suddenly having problems with my sparkle" I said, then mutt whined.
"mutt? (mutt whined), good bye mutt,( mutt barks), sparkle-sparkle-sparkle." I said before blowing my conductors whistle.
"mister conductor, mister willcox where are you, I know you two live far away, but you both always seem to get here on time." Thomas said, then saw both me and mister C at the signal box.
"mister conductor, mister willcox, there you are, are you alright?" he asked us.
" yes Thomas, but everything seems to happen at once, we have to see sir topham hatt and Vee to get our orders, right away." I said. " the journey gets bumpier, and bumpier." said mister conductor.
"does it?" asked Thomas. " a big bully diesel has come back, you two had better be careful."
"sir topham hatt and Vee warned us about Diesel twelve, so don't worry about us Thomas" I said. "we will just pop in and out with our sparkle where ever he goes to keep him in order, I HOPE" I shouted.
"at knapford d12 was passing through the station singing"
"Ole Mc-diesel had a plan, ye-he-he-he, with a pinch-pinch here and a pinch-pinch there, here a pinch, there a pinch, he-ha ah, I crack my self up." he said.
"ONLY JAMES AND HARRISON, WHO NOW FELT REALLY USEFUL TWO, WHERE COMPLAINING"
"wobbly wheels" grumbled james.
"poppy pistons" said Thomas cheekily.
"Thomas, Harrison and I should have collected both mister conductor and mister willcox." said James.
"james is right, little Thomas, collecting mister conductor and his apprentice is an Important job, important is big, james and Harrison are big engines, (james hummed), you Thomas are small, small, small, teeny wennie-wennie, and I who am a big engine knows everything." Gordon said with a chuckle.
"bossy sprockets, all that steam has gone to your funnel" said Thomas in a huff as he bumped into his trucks.
"hey there they are" said splatter, "lets fix there wagons"
"I'm not good at backing up" said dodge.
"me neither" said splatter.
"what's important is that we stand on our own wheels to diesel twelve" said toby.
"toby is right" said Hanzo. " diesel knows that engines in the legend really exist." he said.
"what engines? what legend?" asked james and percy in confusion.
"of two engines that are more powerful than diesel will ever be that's why he wants to find them" said henry.
"then we better find them first" said Percy.
"leave it to the big engines, Percy" said James.
"little engines can do big things, said lady, "especially if they have bright blue paint like Thomas and I"
"hey-hey, watch what happens to those two puff-ball's and that one blue diesel" said splatter.
"yeah when Harold the flopper chopper, flies by." said dodge.
"ROUTINE FLYBY CHAPS HELLO" said Harold.
"the boss dumped sneezing powder everywhere, lets start laughing now." said splatter.
the two diesels start laughing, when Harold accidently blew the sneezing powder on them and the three other engines.
"opps sorry brutes bit of a dust up, love to stay and clean up, got to go by now" said Harold.
"achoo- did you mean to look like that?" asked splatter.
"ah no" replied dodge.
"neither did I" said splatter.
"this must be diesel's doing." sneezed Thomas.
"dear mister conductor and mister willcox, where were you?, my wife and Vee said that we cant afford to miss our little holiday, we will telephone to make sure you have arrived. signed sir topham hatt." I read the note.
"(whispering) sir topham hatt." whispered mister c.
"(I picked up topham's top hat and looked into the hand held mirror and in a voice much like sir topham's I said) Where were you?" I chuckled. then when mister c pointed to the picture behind me and I took off the hat. and the picture looked puzzled then I put the hat on the rack, when the telephone rang. "whoa!"
"(on the telephone) hello?" asked sir topham hat.
"oh good afternoon sir" I said.
"good afternoon kristoff" said sir topham hatt. " I trust everything is on time?"
"yes sir" mister conductor said after I handed him the phone. " and how is lady hatt and Vee?" he asked.
"she is fine along with Vee, now watch out for diesel twelve" sir topham hatt said.
"watch out for diesel definitely" I said.
"and watch henry's health because he had that accident recently" said sir topham hatt.
"and keep and eye on henry's health, certainly" said mister conductor.
"and remember the three r's" said sir topham hatt.
"the three r's reading, writing and arithmathtic" I said.
"WHAT? not those three r's the other ones" said sir topham hatt.
"uh I mean, I will be responsible, reliable, and really useful, yes sir, we will all get a good night sleep looking foreward to a hard days work tomorrow." said mister conductor.
"very good, good bye you two" said sir topham hatt.
"good bye sir" I said.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?
FIND OUT TOMMORROW.
SAME SPLENDID TIME, SAME SPLENDID CHANNEL.
