Chapter 7:
Unfortunately an unwelcome listener was all ears, and when Gordon, Rebecca and Edward chuffed to the sheds. The visitor walked away to the diesel works. "Welcome dear brother." Whispered Diesel 10 with an evil smile. "Hello brother. I have travelled far and now I have the targets pinned down…"
"Excellent work Demon X, only a demon hybrid can do such amazing work! Did the flea bags see you?"
"Negative brother." Demon X sneered. "I think the Gordon fellow is on our side…all we need to do is persuade him to join us. And I need the 7 chaos emeralds. No doubt that sneaky Alex has hidden them around here." He added. "Well I know how to get Gordon on my erm I mean our side..." stuttered Diesel 10, "Now let's go! We got work to do." He shouted. Demon X smiled evilly and walked away.
Bronze felt very uneasy suddenly, she looked at Percy with very frightened eyes. "Bee, what's wrong?" He asked full of concern and worry. "I...I don't think so, I feel an evil presence all of a sudden." She whispered. "Is there something we can do to help?" Asked Thomas, Bronze shook her head, Percy secretly wished he could cuddle Bronze so she would feel a bit better. Callum smiled, like he knew what Percy was thinking. "Silver." He whispered to his friend.
"Yeah?"
"I think the engines are ready for their powers now." Callum said a little louder, now the engines were suspicious. "What do you mean powers?" asked Gordon. "What I mean is I will inject you with this serum." Callum pulled out a syringe "And then you will fall asleep. In the morning you will be a lot different."
"Oh boy." Whispered Edward "Will we be ok in the morning though?" wondered Emily. "Yeah, you will be fine." Hannah said optimistically. "Ok well I don't know about you guys but I want me a power up!" Smiled James. And with that Callum injected the engines in their buffers with the serum, and one by one the engines fell asleep.
The next morning 8 teenage humans woke up instead. Percy woke up to see Bronze holding his hand, she was fast asleep herself. "Wow I feel different…" moaned James. "Morning everyone…well let's see what powers you lot possess. Thomas why don't you go first." Callum smiled. Thomas felt unsure at first, but then he looked at Alex, she smiled. "It's ok, we don't bite." Thomas couldn't help but smile, slowly he walked forwards and closed his eyes, he felt some tingles in his hands and using his mind he pushed the tingles away. "Woah!" called Emily "Thomas you have the power of the wind." She giggled. "Hey has anyone seen Percy?" Bronze asked, "I'm right here next to the wall. Aren't I?" Percy's voice was heard but he wasn't anywhere to be seen. "Ok Percy can you drop your powers for one second?" Asked Silver, and then Percy fell out from the wall. "Ok well now we know Percy has ghost powers, and Thomas has wind powers."
"Hey guys check me out!" called James with his hands on fire. "James be careful!" warned Gordon, and put his hands out, when ice flew out of his hands. "Nice way to cramp my style!" Shouted James. "Well that's 2 more figured out." Smiled Osiris. "Guys look at me!" called a dog, "Edward?" asked Callum "Correct!" barked the dog, then Edward popped up. "Well I will be damned! I can morph into other objects."
"Lucky you! Hey wait why am I in the sky?" Asked Alex. Emily waved her hand and Alex was thrown across the room. "Awesome!" called Emily, "Telekinesis!"
"Yeah…wow!" moaned Alex. It didn't take long for Henry to find his power; he accidently pushed a tree into the wall… "Oops." He whispered sheepishly. Percy and Bronze held hands. She smiled and cuddled Percy tightly. "Bronze?" Whispered Percy. "Yeah Percy, what's up?" She asked. "I love you, do you love me?" Percy whispered, Bronze kissed him on his lips. "Yes Percy, I do love you."
"Erm, ok. This is awkward." Smiled Alex. But Bronze knew she was just joking. "Do you mind? Kinda a private moment here?" Percy asked, and everyone backed off. "Wow James." Giggled Thomas. "Seems like girls do like tank engines."
"Thomas, shut up!"
