King Azazel watched as the diesels argued with each other, as Diesel 10's pincher kept moving around, missing inches away from their faces after smacking them in the faces.

"I never thought diesels essential," King Azazel spoke, watching as they continued arguing. "They're crude and unspeakably plain."

He paused for a moment, thinking to himself for a moment, tapping a clawed finger against his cheek.

"But maybe they have a glimmer of potential," he smirked, revealing his sharp canines. "If allied to my vision and brain."

He chuckled before jumping down in front of the diesels, snapping them from arguing and backed away from him, startled.

Steam from underground went up in front of him, as he walked straight, smiling evilly.

"🎵I know that your powers of retention,🎵" King Azazel sang while walking around Splatter, as he watched him walking around him. "🎵Are as wet as a warthog's backside.~🎵"

"🎵But thick as you are, pay attention!🎵" King Azazel snapped, stamping his foot and make a small crater underneath, causing Splatter to glance forward, stiffening. "🎵My words are a matter of pride.~🎵"

He moved in front of his face, and using his hand, he waved it in front of his face, as he looked dazed.

"🎵It's clear from your vacant expressions,~🎵" King Azazel sang before moving his hand away. "🎵The lights are not all on upstairs.~🎵"

He walked away from Splatter and rubbed his hands together.

"🎵But we're talking kings and successions,🎵" King Azazel smirked, before hearing giggling from behind his back from Diesel and Dodge.

He stormed over to them, and startled them, as they jolted.

"🎵Even you can't be caught unawares!🎵" King Azazel snapped, before walking off, as they were startled again when a smaller geyser shot up, causing them to cry out.

"🎵So prepare for a chance of a lifetime~,🎵" He jumped towards a ledge.

Some of his long jet-black hair was in his face after he had jumped, so while singing, he moved his hair back with one clawed hand.

In the background, Dodge fell back down on the ground, screaming.

"🎵Be prepared for sensational news~!🎵" King Azazel smirked, before moving behind the rock.

King Azazel walked down the ledge, smiling proudly to himself.

"🎵A shining new era,~🎵" he smiled before going into his tippytoes, moving forward as Sailor John appears from the other side of the rock, watching him walk by him. "🎵Is tiptoeing nearer.~🎵"

"And where do we feature?" Sailor John asked, before King Azazel roughly grabs his cheek, pinching it.

"Just listen to teacher," King Azazel answered, before releasing his cheek and turning back around, as Sailor John moved his cheek in pain with his hand.

"🎵I know it sounds sordid, but you'll be rewarded,🎵" King Azazel continued singing as Diesel watched him, gently bobbing his body side to side with the music he is singing. "🎵When at last I am given my dues,🎵"

He stood up at the tallest peak and held out his hands while smiling.

"🎵And injustice deliciously squared!🎵" he sang out loud, before roughly pushing Splatter to the side, going down the tracks to the others. "🎵Be prepared~!🎵"

"Yeah, be prepared!" Dodge remarked as Splatter shook his body to get the dust and dirt off of his body. "We'll be prepared… for what?"

"The death of the light!" King Azazel snapped, glaring at the ceiling.

"Why?" Dodge stupidly asked. "Is it sick?"

"No, fool, we're going to extinguish it!" King Azazel snapped. "Along with anything that lives around here!"

"Great idea!" Splatter smirked, as Diesel in the middle looked slightly worried, but was smiling anyway. "Who needs the light?"

Together with Dodge, they both sang while bobbing their bodies side to side singing, "🎵No light, no light, lalalala!🎵"

"Idiots!" snapped King Azazel. "There will be a ruler!"

"Hey, but you said, uh-" Splatter spoke, before being interrupted by King Azazel.

"I will be the ruler, and there will be only darkness to fill the light!" King Azazel grinned. "Stick me with, and you all will never be forgotten or pushed aside ever again!"

"Woo!" cheered Splatter. "Yeah, alright!"

"Alright!" cheered Dodge. "Long live the king!"

Suddenly, more voices came from around them, revealing to be shadow knights.

They all spoke simultaneously with the diesels, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"

Then, all of them lined up into long lines as the crystals in the caves started to crumble, revealing to be a lost kingdom that surprised Sailor John.

With the diesels and Sailor John, who is now inside Diesel 10's cab, marched along with the lines, as the shadow knights continued with the song.

"🎵It's great that we'll soon be connected,🎵" the shadow knights sang as they marched forward, before saluting to King Azazel. "🎵With a king who'll be all-time adored!🎵"

King Azazel grinned as he watched his shadow knights saluted him, as he sat upon his throne, watching everything around him turning back into the kingdom.

"🎵Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected,~🎵" King Azazel continued singing, twitching his fingers as he watched the magic around his kingdom. "🎵To take certain duties on board.🎵"

While he was saying that last line of his song, he made a slit mention to his neck, which made Diesel, who was watching him, gulped nervously slightly while following his friends.

"🎵The future is littered with prizes,~🎵" sang King Azazel as he stood up from his throne as his shadow knights vocalized along with the song. "🎵And though I'm the main addressee,🎵"

Then, he gritted his teeth, revealing his sharp canines again.

"🎵The point that I must emphasize is,🎵" King Azazel sang, before jumping from his throne and to some of his shadow knights, as the ground underneath his feet cracked as he stomped at the shadow knight he picked. "🎵YOU WON'T A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!🎵"

Diesel, Diesel 10, Splatter, Dodge, and Sailor John flinched when he landed near them, slightly feeling relieved that King Azazel did not pick them.

Soon, the kingdom started cracking, and large spikes of more dark crystals appeared from the ground.

Slowly, it was turning the kingdom into a crystal kingdom instead.

"🎵So prepare for the coup of the century!~🎵" King Azazel, along with his army of shadow knights sang, as he was standing on a flat piece of crystal, growing up into the sky drastically. "🎵Be prepared for the murkiest scam!🎵"

"🎵Meticulous planning,🎵" King Azazel sang, as the diesels sang a different lyric of the song.

"🎵We'll be rich!🎵" they sang.

"🎵Tenacity spanning!🎵" King Azazel smiled, watching them as they followed him.

"🎵Lots of fame!🎵" they sang.

"🎵Decades of denial,🎵" King Azazel sang, as the diesels finished their half of the singing.

"🎵We repeat!🎵" They sang.

"🎵Is simply why I'll,🎵" King Azazel sang, as he was in the sky, as it was black of night, clouds swarming around where the crystal kingdom is coming up from the ground.

"🎵Endless fortune!🎵" they finished, before joining in the vocalizing with the shadow knights.

"🎵Be king undisputed,🎵" King Azazel sang, as he watched down at the creativity of his kingdom is coming. "🎵Respected! Saluted!🎵"

Then, he grinned, placing a hand against his chest.

"🎵And, seen for the wonder I am~!🎵" he beamed. "🎵Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared, be prepared!~🎵"

Soon, the others joined on his singing, beaming brightly with the ideas.

"🎵Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared!🎵" everyone sang. "🎵Be prepared!~🎵"

After the kingdom was finished turning into a crystal kingdom, everyone laughed evilly, indicating that evil had once returned to Sodor.
