Sodor High School: Chapter 11B- The Student from America

Thomas: Hey Mays, you okay?

Mays opened his eyes and see the Tidmouth Teens looking down at him. Mays leaned up and look from left to right.

Mays: Where am I?

Rosie: You in the Nurse office after Diesel hit you with a pipe.

Mays: Well that explained the throbbing pain.

Henry: Yes, luckily you weren't we know, Percy.

TT: (laughed)

After their celebration, the Tidmouth Teens headed back to school. Thomas took a glimpse and saw a repair yard. He walked close to it then someone whisper in his ear.

Man: Hello my friend, what are you doing here?

Thomas: Aah!

Thomas turned around and saw a Cuban man in red, yellow, and black clothing.

Thomas: Who are you?

Cuban Man: The name is Victor Baldwin.

Thomas: Nice to meet you, I'm Thomas Billington.

Victor: Nice to meet you, Thomas.

Then Thomas and Victor heard a crashed from the inside of the repair yard.

Victor: Not again.

Thomas was puzzled and followed after him. Victor opened the doors and saw a teenage boy in a yellow crane.

Boy: Sorry boss, slip of the 'ook boss.

Victor: Thomas meets Kevin Ransome, my assistant.

Kevin: Nice to meet you, Thomas.

Thomas: Nice to meet you, Kevin.

Thomas walked around the repair yard; he saw an engine in a shed.

Thomas: Hey Victor, what is that?

Victor: Well my friend this is my own personal engine.

Thomas: What type of engine is it?

Victor: Well it is a Baldwin 0-4-0ST+PT.

Thomas: Wow.

Victor: Is your class studying trains yet?

Thomas: Soon.

Victor: You know each student will get assigned to an engine.

Thomas: Cool.

Victor: You better get back to your friends, Thomas.

Thomas: Yes. See you later, Victor!

Victor & Kevin: Bye Thomas!

It was nighttime, Thomas was home alone with Annie and Clarabel. When he heard a glass break from downstairs. Thomas rushed to his closet and grabbed his bat and went downstairs slowly. Then he saw a man with a claw for his right hand stealing some money from his parent draw. Thomas hit the man with his bat, and then the man swing his claw at Thomas and threw him into the wall. Thomas went back up and swung his bat, making the man fall out of the window. Thomas looked through the broken window and saw the man had disappeared.

Thomas: Who was that?

Soon at school, Thomas told the Tidmouth Teens about what happened to him.

Gordon: What guy has a claw for an arm?

James: That just bizarre.

Henry: It it it...

Gordon: Disgraceful!

James: Disgusting!

Henry: Despicable!

Mrs. Hatt: Now calm down class, we don't want to start anything.

Thomas sat down then Lady gave him a note.

Thomas: (reading) Meet me in the school garden after class.

After class, Thomas met Lady in the school garden. Lady was sniffing some flower and picking them and putting them in a vase.

Thomas: Hey Lady, you have to tell me something?

Lady: Yes, it about what you have encountered yesterday.

Thomas: You know who the guy was?

Lady: Yes, his name is Diesel 10. He threatens the people of Shining Time and people of Sodor. He decapitated his arm so he could get free from the handcuffs then replaced it with a claw. Plus he stole a Class 42 Warship from a engine yard.

Thomas: Wow, he does sound bad.

Lady: Thomas, the only reason why I'm on Sodor because I'm the person who keeps Sodor alive so years ago Diesel 10 chased me down and cause me to trip so Burnett Stone had took care of me.

Thomas: Oh, that why you have those power to keep Sodor alive.

Lady: Yes, we need to get back to class.

Thomas: Okay.

Lady: Here Thomas.

Lady gave Thomas, the vase of flowers.

Thomas: Thanks Lady.

Soon Thomas was very protective with Lady so this Diesel 10 character won't come and get her. In a hidden base on Sodor, Diesel 10 turn around in chair and look at his two minions.

Diesel 10: Well, look like that blue puffball had came and tried to stop me from stealing from his house. Next time we see him we attacked him, right Splodge?

Splodge: Yes sir!

Diesel 10: Excellent. (evilly laughing). Yes!
