Chapter 4
Later that day, Percy was heading to the Dieselworks to deliver some diesel parts that have just arrived at Brendam Docks. When he approached the Dieselworks, he meet Paxton who was pulling out happily from the Dieselworks.
"Hey, Paxton," whistled Percy. Paxton honked his horn. "Where are you going?" he asked
"Hello, Percy," he greeted, "I am off to the Blue Mountain Quarry,"
"Oh, right. That is your favorite job, isn't it?" asked Percy
"Oh, yes, of course it is; it'll always be," Paxton stated
Just then, Paxton saw Diesel pulling in in the distance.
"Oh, hey Diesel," he greeted
But Diesel wasn't rolling by himself, he was been shunted by Mavis, the quarry engine. Diesel and Mavis passed alongside Percy. He was surprised Diesel looked terrible. He pulled inside the Dieselworks to see what was wrong.
"Hey, Mavis, hey Diesel, what happened?" asked Percy curiosly
"The Troublesome trucks pushed Diesel right down Gordon's hill, he was going was too fast and he meet Henry down the hill. Diesel crashed right onto his goods train and derailed," Mavis replied
Percy was amazed, the accident sounded terrible. "Thank goodness your okay, Diesel," Percy said
Diesel just grunted, as he use to do. Den and Dart pulled up.
"Hey, you Diesel, what happened to you?" Den asked
"Um, I, uh, had a nasty accident," stuttered Diesel embarrassly
"Don't worry, you'll soon be hauling freight like a buzzy bee, tomorrow," Den smiled
"What he means is, we will fix you in no time," Dart added
Diesel just looked down at his buffers. Mavis was uncoupled from Diesel, so she can go back to work.
"What are you doing here, Percy?" asked Mavis
Percy realized that he got a little disoriented.
"Oh, I'm just delivering these Diesel engine parts," replied Percy
"Oh, perfect, leave it over there Percy," smiled Dart, "That can be useful for Diesel's repair,"
Percy backup and switched lines to leave the car in a siding. Then, he changed tracks again to leave the Dieselworks.
"Bye, hope you get repaired soon, Diesel," he grinned coldly and chuffed away.
Diesel just grunted.
As Percy chuffed through the countryside, he gasped.
"Cinders and ashes," he exclaimed and screeched to a stop. Percy thought of the moment he had that morning with Diesel in the shunting yards.
"I hope those troublesome trucks teach Diesel a lesson,"
Percy gulped as he thought of this.
"Diesel's accident happened because I wished the troublesome trucks teach him a lesson," he cried, "My powers are delevoping quicker than I thought. I must be very careful with the things I say," he sighed
Just then, Percy heard a whistle. It was Thomas chuffing on the other line with Annie and Clarabel. Thomas saw that Percy stopped, and got worried.
"Are you ok, Percy?" he asked, "Why have you stopped? Did you broke down?"
Percy sighed, he really wanted to tell his best friend what was happening to him, but he couldn't, at least not yet.
"Oh, it's nothing, Thomas. I, uh, was just taking a rest," replied Percy and he whoosh away. Thomas was puzzled, but since Percy left, he went back on his way.
Percy felt bad for leaving his friend Thomas like that, but he couldn't tell Thomas about his secret just yet. He decided to rush to his last job, so he can chuff to Theodore as soon as possible. His last job was to go to Misty Island, collect jobby logs and deliver them to the Sodor Search and Rescue Center. Percy wanted to go to Misty Island since it's been awhile since he and his friends visited the logging locos, but talking with Theodore was more important to him. So Percy rushed to the Sodor Search and Rescue Center. He hoped that he will find a engine to help him on his way.
Meanwhile, Diesel was getting repaired back on the Dieselworks. He was very unhappy. Den wanted to make him smile.
"Come on, Diesel, give a smile," chuckled Den
"What's so funny about having an accident and breaking down?" asked Diesel rheotorically
"Well, I guess nothing, but feeling miserable isn't going to get the job done any faster," stated Den
"What he means is, cheer up," Dart added
"I can't understand how those troublesome trucks got out of my control," Diesel groaned, "But most of all, why Henry was puffing so slow down the line, of course, there had to be some steamie involvement in my accident,"
"But if Henry was chuffing with his goods train, then he didn't had any fault, Diesel," said Den
"What he means is-
"I know what he means, Dart!" exclaimed Diesel annoyed
"What it's all that noise?" exclaimed a voice
It was Diesel 10 who had just come out of his shed.
"Oh, we are just fixing Diesel who had a nasty accident," replied Den
"Nasty accident?" asked Diesel 10
"Don't ask me about it!" muttered Diesel
"Alright then," said Diesel 10
Diesel, Den and Dart noticed that Diesel 10 was going to leave.
"Where are you going?" asked Den
"Oh, my drivers just notified to me that Sir Topham Hat wants to see me in Knapford Station," replied Diesel 10 silky
"You, why would he even wants to see you?" wondered Diesel
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe he is going to give me the job that he hasn't give me in years," sulk Diesel 10 and oiled away.
Percy chuffed into the Sodor Search and Rescue Center. He was sad that he didn't found any who wasn't busy to help him, or so he thought. The Sodor Search and Rescue engines were talking with Edward. Percy thought Edward can help him with his job, he chuffed in and blew his whistle.
"Hi, Percy," greeted Belle
"Hey, guys. Um, Edward are you busy?"
"No, actually I have nothing to do right now," replied Edward
"Can you pick up some flatbeds of jobby logs from Misty Island, please? I have else important to do,"
"Well, I guess so. Why not?" smiled Edward
"Oh, thank you, Edward," smiled Percy
"It's been awhile since I've seen those logging locos and went to Misty Island, so I am happy to help,"
Percy grinned and chuffed away to Theodore's hiding place.
Meanwhile, Diesel 10 pulled up to Knapford station to meet Sir Topham Hat. Gordon was very surprised to him there.
"What on earth are you doing here, Diesel 10?" asked Gordon
"I came here because Sir Topham Hat wants to see me," replied Diesel 10
"Quite, right," said Sir Topham Hat, "I called you because I am giving you a special, special. You've been very unoccupied lately so I decided to send you to the mainland to work," boomed Sir Topham Hat
"You sending me to move to the mainland forever?" asked Diesel 10
"No, no, no," chuckled Sir Topham Hat, "Since I haven't found any useful work for you on the island, I going to send you to the mainland for awhile, you will return to the island eventually because I am not sailing you,"
"Ok, and when am I going to be starting?" Diesel 10 asked
"Tomorrow, but you must leave today because your starting tomorrow early in the morning;" stated Sir Topham Hat
"Thank you, sir," smiled Diesel 10
"Oh, and Diesel," Sir Topham Hat interrupted
Diesel looked at him
"I want no complaints about you, okay?" he warned
"I promise that you won't regret your decision, sir," smiled Diesel 10 and oiled away.
Percy chuffed and puffed to Theodore's hiding place. He wanted to tell him what happened with Diesel. Percy was kind of afraid that something like that happens to one of his closest friend because of him. He couldn't get rid of the feeling of fright he had in his boiler as he entered Theodore's hiding place. As he reduced speed when he was in the rusty track, he looked around. He has never seen this place in the light of day, it looks very naturalistic. He reached out to Theodore.
"Hello, Percy, you're here early," smiled Theodore
"Hey, Theodore," he greeted slowly. He eyed Theodore from funnel to footplate, then he saw Theodore's smiling. Percy felt that Theodore's smile in daylight is more cheering.
"You didn't had a lot of jobs today?" asked Theodore
"I did, but I asked one of my friends to do my last job for me and he accepted,"
"He's a really good friend," said Theodore
"Yes, his name is Edward; he is one of the best friends ever!" stated Percy, "He 's old and wise, he's always willing to help everyone,"
"That very good, Percy!" smiled Theodore
"Anyway, Theodore, I came here to tell you something that happened to me and one of the engines," said Percy
"Did any of the engines noticed your powers?" asked Theodore worriedly
"No, but my powers kind of got out of my control," replied Percy nervously
"Why makes you think that?" asked Theodore
"Um, I kind of wish that some troublesome trucks pay one of the engines a lesson and it kind of happened," said Percy sheepishly
"What happened Percy?" asked Theodore nervously
"Um, he had an awful accident on the bottom of Gordon's Hill, and he is broken, I think this happened because I wished for it, unawarely of course,"
Theodore sighed "Your powers are getting stronger. You need to learn to manage them and for that you need to be very aware of every word you say, Percy,"
"Yes, I know," Percy said with a sheepish look. "I'm very sorry for what I did, I promise I will be very cautious with every word I say,"
"And with your feelings, Percy," Theodore remarked, "Your feelings can unwillingly interact with your powers and cause harm, so be very careful with that,"
"Ok, um Theodore I was thinking if only my friend Thomas can know about you. I mean, I have no secrets with him and he's my best friend. I feel very bad for not telling him about my secret," said Percy
"Its not recommendable, Percy," said Theodore
"Come on, Theodore, let me tell him, I hope Thomas won't say anything," pleaded Percy
Theodore sighed "Alright, Percy, you can tell him, but it has to be only to him and make sure that there are no engine around when you tell him,"
"Thank you so much Theodore, you will like Thomas when you get to know him," Percy smiled
Suddenly, he remembered his last job. 'Sir Topham Hat must be wondering why Edward did my job for me,' Percy thought
"I have to go now, see you tomorrow," said Percy and chuffed away.
"See you, Percy. Be cautious," smiled Theodore as Percy disappeared in the distance.
SOMEWHERE IN THE MAINLAND.
"I don't understand why you are so concerned, there are no other wizard engines left than you," said a man
"I don't think so, I had this weird feeling in my boiler, like there is a new wizard engine somewhere in the world," said an engine
"Like suppose that is true; he can be anywhere,"
"I need to know if there is someone like me, because if there is, that means that I had an enemy to fight," the engine frowned
"You still have that obsession with beating someone, since you didn't beat Theodore a lot of years ago," said the driver
"Shh, shut up, you know nothing about that, your mother wasn't even pregnant of you by then,"
"Yeah, but my grandparents brought you here and you told him your story, and he told me and my parents everything about you and your past, which is why I know that 'The Black Puff' is still frustrated by that," smirked the driver
"Shut your mouth, my name is Francisco, the 'The Black Puff' was painted black and now I have another shape and I'm painted red," frowned 'The Black Pufff' and no one has to know about my dark past,"
"Dark past that is following you because you didn't lose your powers in that hurricane! So I am going to tell you something, stop thinking about your past and about enemies because you can lose control of your powers,"
The Black Puff looked ahead, a strange shaped diesel with a claw arrived.
"Who is that engine?" asked the driver
"I don't know, but he has the weirdest design ever," stated the The Black Puff.
The diesel was Diesel 10 and he has just arrived from the Island of Sodor. He approached the steamie and the driver.
"Um, excuse me, I am from the Island of Sodor and have come to work here. My drivers have to speak with the controller, where can I find him?" he asked
"Over there," pointed the driver to a station.
"Okay, thank you," thanked Diesel 10 and oiled away.
"So he is from the Island of Sodor, huh? I haven't seen someone from my island since I let f,"
"You know him?"
"No of course not, but I will like too, when I have the chance I'll speak to him,"
