Me: Hey everyone, I'm back with a new chapter! this maybe the longest one I've written yet.
Alpha: You took too much time, you slow coach.
Me: HEY! I resent that!
Ranma:shut up Alpha, it's bad enough he's been held back by what's been going on in his life, he doesn't need any more from your attitude.
Ranko: Yeah, oh and look, we've got Equestria Girls versions of Transformers characters.
Me: Why thank you ranko, and there's another surprise as well in the chapter.
Thomas: What is it?
Me: I ain't telling.
Thomas: Botheration.
Me: Standard "Grandpa Drill" everyone, and you know it.
The group entered Canterlot as they entered the train station, gaining looks and stares from people everywhere who's skin were like the colors of the rainbow, making Genma puke from seeing so many colors.
People were coming from all over the station to see the engines and their crew, mostly because some were curious, some were admiring the long line of engines. Ranma and his girl half were the first to be greeted, and his girl half was given clothes, they looked at Thomas and they saw his face, they watched him with looks of curiosity, needless to say that Thomas was mentally face palming because he wasn't in his cursed form.
The crowd went next to Edward, then to Henry, then Gordon, then James, and then a few minutes later as the crowd had gone,the engines had gotten out of the station, and behind the warehouse next to the station, the group had gotten out the buckets of water and splashed the engines since Percy and Toby were already in their cursed forms, they were helping to get everyone into their cursed forms, they finished before the security guards were getting close to the group, they took off, and went to Canterlot High, as they got there, the group got looks from the students, like they were new to the school, and they were, a certain student was coming up to meet them.
"Welcome to Canterlot high, I'm Sunset Shimmer and I'll give you a tour." she looked at Hiro. "Are you a teacher?" she asked, Hiro smiled. "Why yes, I happen to be one."
Sunset showed Hiro to the office, and led the group to the cafeteria. "This is where we eat in the cafeteria, so not a lot of food fights happen here." and then the art room where Thomas, Emily, Rosie, Ranko, and Percy enjoyed the art drawings of their engine forms, the history class where Edward and Toby were interested, the gym where Gordon and Spencer liked doing the exercises, the agricultural class where Henry loved planting trees, much to Gordon's dismay, a language arts class took James's notice, seeing that he would love to learn something new as was Ranma, Akane, Ryoga, Kuno, and Nabiki, they also saw the computer lab, that got everyone's attention, the tour concluded the at music room where they saw five girls playing different instruments, the rainbow haired girl played a guitar, the pale yellow girl with light pink hair played a tambourine, the pink girl played a set of drums,a literally white girl with purple hair played keytar,and the last girl was orange with blond hair and she played a bass guitar, the engines were amazed, they had never seen such amazing talents. "Wow, Let me try!" Rosie shouted as grabbed a guitar and started playing, everyone was surprised as she began to play a tune from an eighties anime, her performance was stunningly exciting, she began float and began to glow gold with gold dust floating around her as she gained an engine's whistle similar to Percy's whistle in his engine form and when Rosie stopped playing.
Rosie saw her powered up form, she looked happy as the new look disappeared, but the gold dust was still in the air, and the pink girl caught it, Thomas tried to warn her, but he was too late, the pink girl somehow ate the gold dust, she felt fine before she made faces and her skin lit to colors of the rainbow blew up like balloon for a split second and returned to normal and panted with only one word. "SPICY!" She screamed in a small voice as she ran to the water fountain. "I guess gold dust isn't known for it's flavor here." Thomas chuckled, the rainbow haired girl walked up to Thomas. "You look familiar, but I can't place my finger on it."
In an other familiar universe, a familiar blue tank engine sneezed. "Say it, don't spray it, little Thomas." said a familiar big blue A4 Pacific tender engine. "Sorry Gordon, I think I still have some sneezing powder in my funnel." But someone might've said something about me. The tank engine thought as he did his usual passenger run.
Back to where our friends were, they were still in the music room until the bell rang, Hiro came in. "good news, the principle gave a job me a job here!" the engines cheered as they got ready for school the day.
Thomas and the others were ready for school, as they got there they met Ms. cheerlie, who was a teacher for the school library. They went off to their classes.
Thomas's first class was art for first and fifth period, along with Percy. Rosie, Emily, and Ranko, they were enjoying the class so far.
Ranko was doing well, but someone got her attention, the girl looked to be around Ranko's age, the girl had blue hair with pink streaks, blue eyes, a black shirt with a blue tank top over it, blue biker shorts, black stockings, and blue high heeled boots.
"Hey." the girl said, hoping to get a response out of Ranko. "Uh-hi..." Ranko replied back, nervous. "Oh don't be like that, I don't bite." the girl said with a reassuring smile. Ranko seemed to lighten up seeing the girl smile. "Name's Arcee, but most people call me Sadie, that's another thing I have to avoid." Ranko listened with interest. "There's another girl with the same name as me, but a year older than me, but she wears pink, see her over there?" Arcee/Sadie pointed to the girl over a few desk over. The girl was indeed wearing pink, but wore white disco pants, white socks, and white high heeled shoes, she even wore her hair like Princess Leia from Star Wars.
"Wow." That was what Ranko could say, the girl had a body that rivaled Ranko's in both beauty and looks. "I know, right? You look like you could be her rival." Ranko giggled. "Nah, I'm more of a martial arts type of girl." Ranko said, Arcee/Sadie Laughed. "wow, so am I!" Arcee/Sadie said excitedly. "Is that Thomas The Tank Engine?" She asked, Ranko paled. "It's okay, I know, I like him, and so do some of the other students, they keep trying to draw him but he's hard to draw, but they keep trying. see that guy? That's Bulkhead, he's clumsy at times, he breaks things, but he's a pretty good artist at heart, and he helps people, and does construction, too. There's Bumblebee, when he was born, he had a voice but he doesn't speak now, poor kid, he's been mute ever since, others bullied him because of it, until some of us stood up for him, me included, he looks up to us as a family." Ranko looked at the mute boy, tears leaking from her eyes. "Why? What happened to his family?" Arcee/Sadie looked at Ranko with a sad frown.
"A car accident, it was caused by some drunk driver who wasn't paying attention, and crashed his car into the car Bee's parents were driving, Bee wasn't there but the guy was arrested for drunk driving, when Bee heard what happened, he was heart broken, and kept quite to himself, he's been alone for seven years until he met us, another guy, Knockout, similar story, similar along with Bulkhead and me, we all lost someone who was a friend to us all, his name was Breakdown, not to be confused with his master who had the same name, you see, he was in the construction and medical type of businesses, he was a racer too, and even a fighter. One day he was coming home from school and a gang ambushed him...and...murdered him." Arcee/Sadie started to cry, but continued. "Bulkhead and Knockout saw what happened, but they were too late when they got there, I was on my way home from shopping with two of my best friends, they were Tailgate and Cliffjumper, on our way home we were ambushed by the same gang who murdered Breakdown, Tailgate and Cliffjumper told me to get inside, Tailgate was the first to get murdered because he didn't fight back good, Cliffjumper killed four of the gang's members, but they knocked him unconscious, that's when I saw the leader of the gang, her name was Arachnid, the feared terrorist, the older sister to Elita-one, Optimus's girlfriend, I saw Arachnid kill Cliffjumper, I still have nightmares about it." Arcee/Sadie's blood ran cold at the memories.
Ranko was glad she wasn't there, but memories from Ranma's past scared her, and Arcee/Sadie noticed that. "You got memories worse than mine?"
Ranko sighed. "Yeah, but they're my uh...brother's." Arcee/Sadie zoned out for a minute before recovering. "What? I didn't hear you the first time, could you repeat that?"
Ranko sighed a second time, she repeated the same words slowly, this time Arcee/Sadie listened clearly. "So, you're a clone of your brother?"
"More or less, at least I'm in a body that's my own, come to think of it, My personality, and thoughts are my own."
"Well, at least you're you, so later...you could sit with me and the guys at lunch." Arcee/Sadie offered, Ranko giggled. "well, I could offer you the same thing."
"Well, great minds think alike." Arcee said, then a evil chuckle stopped them right where they stood. "Yes, Great minds do think alike, but do they think quicker than mine?" they turned to see a girl at Ranko's height. "Back off, Starlight, this doesn't concern you." Arcee/Sadie glared at Starlight. "Oh, I think it does, since everyone shall be equal like me." Ranko looked at her, studying Starlight, finally, Ranko found her voice. "And just what do you plan on accomplishin'? What makes you think that everyone will be equal like you?"
Starlight chuckled, she grinned wickedly. "Because I don't believe in friendship, that that's why I'm not going to have any friends. I'm going to make everyone believe friendship is not real." Ranko tried to stop her, but Starlight was too quick to catch, Ranko stopped, Arcee/Sadie ran to her friend's side. "I just don't get it, how is Starlight this fast? I could'a stopped her but I wasn't fast enough." Arcee/Sadie had an idea.
"I think your friends and brother are going to be involved in this, plus I'll need your help." Ranko looked confused and was told to bring everyone to the gym, including Sunset and her friends.
Everyone gathered for the plan to be heard. "Starlight's going to make everyone believe friendship isn't real, she also said she's also going make everyone equal like her." everyone was shocked, they heard that Starlight was crazy, but they didn't know that she would go that far in her scheme. The only one who was in deep thought was Ranma, he heard everything,but only too well, then he spoke. "You said she was gonna make everyone believe friendship isn't real, right?" Arcee/Sadie nodded, Ranma continued. "I think she's forcin' everyone to believe friendship isn't real, that's why she wants everyone to be equal." everyone stared at him.
"Why do you think that's possible?" Knockout asked, Ranma turned to him. "Isn't obvious? She wants to make everyone like her, and I don't mean 'like-like', she wants to be a terrorist." The other teens gasped, Ranma's observation made sense, it was clear that Starlight's plan was downright evil. "But she doesn't compare to Arachnid." Arcee/Sadie said with venom in her voice, Ranma didn't know who Arachnid was, so Ranko told everyone who arachnid Minus Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Knockout who already knew who Arachnid was.
When Ranko finished, the others were furious. Sunset calmed everyone except for Rainbow Dash, who needed convincing.
Several hours later, school was over, Everyone was about to go home, but they had their new friends come along.
"So, What kinda activities do ya do, Gordon?" Applejack asked, Gordon laughed. "Well, I'm not one to boast, but I race my friends everyday, I'm also the strongest and fastest person in the group." Rainbow Dash laughed. "You? I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm the fastest." Spencer fumed. "You're both wrong, I'm the fastest."
"Keep it up silver boy, or I'll tell the girls you pranked me by putting me in the janitors closet." Nabiki warned him, but Spencer was ready to counter back. "Oh yeah? Well, you tried to kill me, besides, it wasn't my idea."
Then it happened, nobody was prepared for what Nabiki said next. "YOU STUPID PIECE OF JUNK! I DON'T CARE IF IT WAS YOUR IDEA, I WISH YOU NEVER EXISTED!" That did it, Nabiki had called Spencer a piece of junk, she went off and left everyone behind, not even caring where she went. Thomas looked in her direction. "What just happened?"
Akane looked at Nabiki as well. "I think she just blew our cover." And she was right, the girls and Ranko's new friends eyed them. "Why did you sister call Spencer a piece of junk?" Rarity asked, Thomas look at her with a guilty look. "I'll explain when we get to the train station." the group followed him to the train station as the engines each got a bucket of hot water, Sunset wanted to ask, but Ranma shook his saying to not ask about it.
Thomas stood on the tracks as Emily threw the hot water on Thomas, reverting to his true form, Fluttershy hid behind Pinkie Pie and Bumblebee. Rainbow Dash, Bulkhead, Knouckout, Arcee/Sadie, and Applejack all stood still, mouths agape, Sunset and Rarity wanted to blink, but their eyelids refused to move, forcing them to look at Thomas in his true form. Everyone minus Ranma's group was shocked.
Applejack was the first to recover from her shock. "Wait just a minute, you're really Thomas The Tank Engine?!" Thomas half-smiled. "Yes, but that's not the whole story, we'll tell you the whole story as soon we get home."
The next one to recover from their shock was Sunset. "But how? You can't carry all of us in your cab, we can't fit in there." Lady chuckled. "I think you're forgetting about the Gold Dust I carry with me, I could turn one of the coaches into one of the coaches we use on Sodor, that way we can go under the house." Everyone looked at her in confusion, even Thomas. "How Lady? The last time we arrived, you made an underground home for us. But now I think it's gone." Lady's chuckle turned into laughter. "Oh, Thomas, it follows us wherever we go, it never goes away." Lady finished laughing, she continued. "our home rearranges itself by what order Our rooms go in, thankfully we can easily recognize our rooms."
The engines were silent, until they heard a scream, Akane recognized that the scream belonged to Nabiki, as the group, minus Thomas, who was still in his true form, ran to where Nabiki was, they saw her beaten and bruised, an evil laugh filled the silence, Arcee/Sadie knew that laugh all too well.
"Arachnid."
Me: *Gasps* A cliffhanger!
Thomas: You know what to do. R&R
