Thomas: Previously On The School of the NWR... No. Stop! Back off! AH! (As he breathed heavily, he looked around at his surroundings to find himself, back in his room, before exhaling and planting his face, into his hand.) (In mind.) Darn! Another one! And just when I thought I had finally gotten over HIS menacing ways.

?: Soon, little Brother. Soon. I will give us a great reunion to remember. And once I do, then I'll make you watch the deaths of your friends and family, before I take yours. When I do, it WILL be very slow and painful.

(As the teen in crimson had entered into Thomas's classroom, and tries to kill him.)

?: (cackles) Why Hello Thomas. Long time no see!

Thomas: How are you here?! What do you want?!

?: I thought it would be obvious. (sneers) Your death!

(As Thomas then stood frozen solid.)

Thomas: (In mind.) He's back. Oh gosh! He's back for me and everyone I care for. He wants to kill everyone before me. Oh, no, no, no, no!

(After Lady and Thomas arrive at the Billiton residence.)

Tanya: Lady? What are you... (gasps as she saw Thomas's frightful stance and expression.) Oh my gosh! (she and Howard dart over to him.) Thomas! What happened?!

Thomas: M-m-mother... H-h-he's h-here. O-on S-Sodor.

Howard: Who's here on Sodor?

Thomas: (as his heart rate spiked again.) H-H-H-Hunt... (collapses)

Howard: (sighs.) Alright, you can stay here. But I will warn you that the situation that we are currently in, is a very serious one indeed, for Hunter, has come back for our lives.

Lady: Hunter?

Tanya: We'll tell you more later. Right now, we need to bring Thomas back up into his room, and bring the rest of our children home, stat.

(Lady nods, and this is where the recap will end. After being brought to his room, Thomas once again had those same memories come back and haunt him without end. As those memories continued to plague him, more things appeared, this time, they are images of Hunter standing proud and triahnpant as familiar faces of friends and family laid behind him all tied up, as well of him stabbing a certain someone with golden hair. As then images of the 14 year-old crying as he placed that someone with golden hair in a lake showed, a familiar voice rang out from amongst them.)

?: Thomas! Wake up! You're having a nightmare!

Thomas: (opens eyes, to find a certain face he knew, sitting next to him.) Lady... (exhales and sits up.)

Lady: Are you okay?

Thomas: (sighs.) For now I guess. (frowns and grasps Lady's hand for comfort.)

Lady: So, that guy who attacked you at school, Hunter is his name?

Thomas: Yes. And he was my older adoptive brother.

Lady: (Looks on with a face of shock.) Brother?

Thomas: Yes. Before we moved to Sodor, we all once lived in a cottage on the streets of Brighton. None of the neighborhood kids really befriended us, but that didn't matter to me, nor my siblings, for we had each other. (sighs.) One day however, mum and dad decided that they would adopt another sibling for us from an orphanage. However, when he arrived, he was very self centered, and had a great distaste for us. At first, it was nothing serious, just a few intentional bumps and pushes. But when I attempted to barge in while he was harassing Billster, on his autism, Hunter's true broken and twisted colors showed themselves, and he grabbed a knife as attempted to slash me. (Lady gasps as Thomas continued.) Upon seeing what was happening, mum and dad had no choice but to kick Hunter out of our home, before moving elsewhere where he won't find us. Or so, that is what we hoped.

Lady: Why would Hunter ever want to kill you?

Thomas: I don't know to be honest. He just does. And I'm scared, Lady. What if he doesn't just target me, but those who care about too. What if he even targets you?

(As she felt him grasp her hand tightly, Lady could tell that Thomas was truly scared, and was very worried. Being the girl that she was, Lady wrapped her arms around her lover, and spoke in a kind soft tone, as she brought him closer to her.)

Lady: He won't harm us, nor will he harm you, for we won't allow it. (tightens embrace.) We have been through so much, love, and I am certain that your friends and family will defend you as you are defending them. I know that I would. (smiles) You didn't back down when Diesel 10 and PT Boomer threatened my life, so I would not back down as Hunter threatens yours.

Thomas: (Smiles slightly.) Thanks Lady. I promise I'll be sure to protect you too, from Hunter's strikes.

(As the two loving teens smiled and kissed, neither one reckoned Hunter watching them through the window, sneering as he saw them.)

Hunter: (in mind) So that magical girl is your precious princess then, ay? Killing her is now going to be even sweeter, for you'll have the most priceless of reactions.

(As Hunter then leapt away, he began hatching a plan. A very twisted, evil, plan. As the day turned to night, Lady slept next to Thomas, to keep him some comforting company. With no further attacks from Hunter, the Billintons decided to have their children go to school the very next day, but to ensure that they are strictly on their guard. As Timothy, Thomas and Lady then entered into their classroom, they found that they were the only ones there.)

Thomas: Where is everyone?

Mr. C: (as he saw Thomas and Lady.) That's what I would like to know, Thomas. Anyways, with how today's lesson requires a group of four people, I think it would be best to put a rain check on it, and let you both have a very early release.

Lady: (sighs.) Right then. See you later Mr. C.

(As Thomas and Lady then left the campus, they decided to stop by the café that was on the route to the Billinton residence. As Thomas got their desired drinks, Lady looked down uneasily as she sat at her and her lover's table.)

Thomas: (as he sat down on his spot.) Lady, are you feeling okay.

Lady: Yes. It's just that, the scenario of you and Hunter is kind of familiar to me.

Thomas: How so?

Lady: The conflict of a person and their older sibling, whom of which is trying to kill them. I don't know why it's familiar to me, but it is.

(Thomas gave a sigh as he took in his girlfriend's words. Though she knew of her magic, and many other things, Lady's days before she was taken in by Burnett was a great mystery, as well as her lineage, for she had no memory of it, except for her last name, which was odd for most people. As Thomas then took Lady's hand and rubbed it gently, he smiled at her as he spoke.)

Thomas: One day, you may find out the answer, Lady.

Lady: (smiles.) Yeah. Maybe I might.

(As Thomas and Lady then continued to spend sometime there, they both had smiles on their faces. After finishing their drinks, both teens continued their way back to the Billinton residence. But I'm sorry to say, THAT'S where trouble struck.)

Lady: (as a knife flew onto her leg.) AH!

Thomas: Lady!

Hunter: Not so fast Thomas. (lands in front of Lady and grabs her by the neck as he lifts her up.) I'm going to need her to make you suffer. So if you wish to see her, our family or any of your friends living ever again, I suggest you meet me at the Vicarstown smelting yards. Now then, time for me to leave, times a wastin!

Thomas: (As he saw Hunter kidnap Lady) No! (falls to his knees as he begins to sob.) (in mind) He's going to kill everyone in front of me. All because he just wants to see me suffer. What can I do? I'm powerless compared to Hunter, and I'll die if I even try saving them anyway. What can I do?

?: Believe in yourself. Don't let that foe of yours win.

Thomas: (Gasps in shock as he then looked around.) Who.. said that?

?: A friend. A very trustworthy one to be precise. Now hurry. Everyone needs you.

(Thomas nodded, as he then changed his course of direction towards Tidmouth sheds. When he arrived, Thomas boarded his E2, stoked up it's fire, made a nice lot of steam, and then drove it towards the Vicarstown smelter's yard. When he arrived, Thomas found Hunter inside the shed as well as his closest friends, and family. They were all tied up, and struggling to get loose, as Thomas walked sternly to the teen who was twisted.)

Hunter: So, you actually came then.

Thomas: Yes. And I'm going to beat the crud out of you since you took everyone whom I find dear!

Hunter: Oh really? (Dodges Thomas's punch and kicks from behind.) And what makes you think that you'll actually stand a chance against me?

Thomas: (Grunts as he got back up.) (smirks) The fact that you're still a very lazy tomato.

Hunter: WHY YOU LITTLE! (attempts to slash Thomas, but fails.)

Thomas: What's wrong Hunter? Can't you kill a little pipsqueak?

Hunter: Oh just shut up! (Slash knife again, but to only have Thomas dodge it once more.)

(As Thomas continued to dodge his knife attacks, Hunter only got crosser and crosser. However, As Thomas then dodged once again, he tripped over a piece of scrap metal that was laying on the floor nearby. Seeing this, Hunter saw his opportunity and ran over ready to do a killing blow as Thomas tried to get up once more. However, before the teen in crimson could even kill the E2 driver. There was a loud yelp, before a certain figure in magenta attire leapt in the knife's path. As Thomas then caught her, his eyes were wide with despair and shock.)

Thomas: Lady... No. Please. No. Please not this!

Lady: I'm... Sorry. Goodbye.

(As Lady exhaled, her eyes closed, and the colors of her hair and skin faded. As Thomas held his now fallen Lover, he sobbed and sobbed.)

Hunter: Well... That was surprising. I did not expect her to be able to move after the injury I gave her. Ah well, at least that girl is now dead, and out of the way. (Thomas lays Lady's body gently on to the ground, stands up, and walks towards Hunter.) Oh what are you going to do now. Cry? Whimper?

Thomas: No... (Scowls and looks very darkly at Hunter.) I'm going to make you pay for what you did!

(As he then finished that statement, Thomas punched Hunter so hard in the face, that the insane teen's nose broke and began to really bleed. As Thomas continued to punch him again and again, Hunter began to grow more and more fearful because Thomas was deathly angry, and wanted to kill him. As Hunter tried desperately to slash him again, Thomas twisted his wrist, and the knife fell out of his hand. As Thomas then picked it up, he thrusted Hunter's face into a piece of scarp, and held the knife to his neck. Memories of all the things that Hunter had done to him and his brothers, flashed through Thomas's mind. Then as the memory of Lady's death came into his mind, Thomas pulled the knife towards Hunter's neck as hard as he could. But in the end, Thomas would find himself instinctively sparing his twisted brother, as Hunter then collapsed to the floor. Grabbing the knife once more, Thomas quickly cut the ropes that were tied around his friends and family, before tossing it into the smelting pit.)

Timothy: Good work Brother!

Thomas: (solemnly.) Thanks.

Tanya: (as she then hugs her son to comfort him.) Lady would be proud of you for sparing Hunter, even after all that he has done. She will be missed.

Thomas: (sobbing) Yeah. (pushes his mother's arms away, turns heel, and begins to walk towards Lady's body.)

Timothy: Brother what are you...

Thomas: (with tears.) Taking Lady back to the workshop. Burnett Stone will need to know what happened to her.

(As his family then nodded, Thomas brought Lady's body into a princess carry, and climbed aboard his E2. Then with a blast of it's whistle, Thomas drove his engine away, toward the Kirk Ronan branchline. As Thomas's engine rode the rails, the E2 driver continued to shed tears, for his lover had lost her life while saving his. When the grotto then appeared, Thomas's E2 sped through the portal of the buffers, passed hills of the vibrant green grass, and braked in the dark corridor of Burnett's workshop.)

Burnett: (As he saw Thomas's E2 arriving.) Thomas. What are you... (Stops as he sees Lady's body within the teen's arms.) Oh my. What happened.

Thomas: (sobbing) Fatally slashed by my twisted brother, Hunter while she was protecting me. I'm so sorry Mr. Stone. I failed to protect her.

Burnett: (sighs.) It's not your fault, Thomas. But alas, I do believe a send off is in order.

(As Thomas nodded, Burnet led him to a massive lake within the magic railroad. After the caretaker explained to him on what to do, Thomas carried Lady's body towards the center, as close as he could.)

Thomas: (sobbing.) I'm so sorry, Lady, for failing my promise that nothing bad would happen to you. I wish that I could've done more against Hunter. If I did, you would still be here with me. Even if I wanted to, I doubt that I'll ever be able to be in a relationship with someone, for you were that one who was meant for me. I'll never betray my love for you, Lady. I never will.

(As Thomas then placed Lady's remains into the water, he gently rubbed her cheek one last time, before turning heel, and leaving Lady's body and the lake behind. However, what he didn't know was that what he thought would be the last time, was truthfully not, as about 30 minutes later, a woman walked towards the lifeless teen.)

?: (as she felt Lady's face.) Loving that boy to the end. That's very much like you Lady. However, I don't want things to simply end here for you two. That Thomas has been such a blessing for you, as you have been to him. I know that I haven't been there for you, but I shall be, starting now, my daughter.

(As a golden light emitted from the woman's hands, the colors on Lady's hair and skin began to come back. As this was happening, Thomas was on his way back home. The teen was still very much solemn, until...)

"...Thomas..."

Thomas: (perks up.) Lady?

"...The Lake..."

(Unsure whether it was his mind playing games or not, Thomas drove his E2 back through the buffers, and quickly ran towards the lake where he left Lady's body. However, as he was just about to look around for her, two familiar arms wrapped themselves around him.)

Thomas: (as he sees the girl who hugged him.) Lady... Is it really you? I'm not going mad, right?

Lady: (Smiles as she then felt Thomas's cheeks.) No, you're not.

(Upon seeing that his lover was indeed somehow alive once more, Thomas smiled, and kissed Lady full on the mouth. The teens were not ever going to be separated that easily, no matter what obstacle, or how it gets in their way.)

(End of Episode.)

To be continued in Season 2.
