I love you I will always love you
A few moments ago:
Thomas was going back to Tidimouth Sheds, it was going to feel weird having an extra empty berth, but maybe a new engine will come along and fill the void. Then he heard two puffing noises at the bridge, he looked up and saw Timothy with Emily following behind him. Emily looked like she was pain and Timothy looked oddly happy, most engines aren't happy a lot of the times, but then...
"Please Timothy... don't kill Thomas..." says Emily.
"Oh I won't, you might even get to see him." replied Timothy. This made Thomas shocked, now everything is starting to make sense!
The present:
At the Vicarstown Bridge, Thomas was looking at a horrified Emily and a Timothy who was seen smiling.
"Thomas amounts to nothing more, than a lamb to the slaughter." said Timothy with smirk.
"Timothy... you're the one responsible for it, am I right?" Thomas asked, he wasn't back down.
"Exactly." replied Timothy "The Timothy you got used to was nothing more but an illusion.".
"Why would you do such a thing?"
"Do you really think I would give away what I am trying to do to you?"
'You said just now that you were an illusion when we first met. There has to be an exterior motive behind it.'
"Yes and I will make sure that you give it all away."
"Oh please, you couldn't even catch on to me until I just purposely gave myself away."
"Perhaps... But what are you planning to do with Emily?"
"I was planning to send her to another Railway."
"You can't do that, that's impossible. You would need the Controller's permission first or he needs to make a biding for it, an engine can't simply request and leave."
"Are you trying to imply that I was going to send her somewhere else?"
"I mean I never said it was the other way around."
"You did catch on pretty well Thomas, I will give you that."
'I underestimated him again, I need to make a plan just in case there is something that will go against me.' says Timothy to himself.
"Now I am going to have to ask you again: Where were you going to send Emily?" insisted Thomas.
"Why don't you follow us to find out?"
"What are you trying to play at?"
"THOMAS! PLEASE GET OUT OF HERE! HE WILL TRY TO KILL YOU!" yells Emily, desperate to save the last thing that makes her happy. Thomas felt the sadness in Emily, never had he heard such a sad comment from her. This infuriated Thomas.
"What did you do to Emily?!" Thomas yells out.
"Nothing really, you just don't know her really well." Timothy replied.
'Great, I can use this to make him get to the point.' said Thomas in his head.
"Oh so you are telling me that she just randomly changed?"
"Yes."
"Kinda odd because in the same day that YOU arrived, she had a sudden personality change..."
'Wait... come to think of it, why did Emily have a sudden personality change?'
"Why would that be important? It doesn't inherently prove that I did."
"Yeah you're right, but what about the trucks that were in the sidings? When the airport was being built."
'Wait... is he catching on?'
"I don't know what you are trying to imply."
"Are you telling me that they also randomly appeared?"
'Dammit he got me, I need to do something about this.'
"Well you got me there, it is weird, maybe Diesel did it or something. Come on, put me in the Steamworks with my tender removed, I can prove to you that I didn't do it."
"Well it will be me infringing on your rights, so no... but it does prove that you did it."
'Wait, is Thomas trying to bluff?' Emily asks herself.
"WHAT?! NO I DIDN'T FUCKING DO IT!"
"Than why are you panicking if you are so certain that you didn't do it?"
"YOU ARE TRYING TO SET ME UP! JUST THAT!"
"Well you aren't countering what I am saying, you are claiming that I am making baseless claims but you are just saying you didn't do it." says Thomas "Why don't you tell us, Emily?" asks Thomas to Emily.
'Should I do it or not? Timothy would kill Thomas, I don't want to say yes, I can't lose Thomas, but.. why do I feel this hope?' says Emily in thought.
"YES! IT WAS HIM! HE DID EVERYTHING! HE CAUSED YOUR ACCIDENT AND GORDON'S AND CAUSED THE CONFLICTS WE ALL HAD!" yells Emily with everything she had.
"Thank you Emily." says Thomas.
"And that's all we needed." says Edward appearing from a siding, with the Fat Controller and a detective.
"Timothy, you caused numerous years of confusion and delay! You caused all my engines to suffer! You destroyed the reputation of the railway for your own game!" yells the Fat Controller.
'Dammit!' says Timothy in thought.
"Don't underestimate Thomas' determination and his way with words." commented Edward.
Earlier
Thomas was searching around Sodor for Edward and Gordon. His pistons pumped. His boiler bubbled. Soon Thomas found them at Knapford and immediately whistled the loudest he ever has for both.
"Edward! Gordon! I need help!" Thomas yelled which caught Edward and Gordon's attention "It's Emily! I knew something bad was happening to her!"
"Oh please Thomas." replied Gordon "Do you really think some elaborate thing happened just to make her evil?"
"I suspect so! Because I saw her and Timothy going somewhere and I overheard their talk!" Edward got curious.
"Wait what are you talking about, Thomas?" Edward asked.
"Emily seemed like she was asking Timothy not to kill me and then Timothy replied with that he won't do it! I suspect he is responsible for everything that happened! Think about it! Why do you think the accident rate has been high recently?! Why do you think Emily had a 180 in the same day?!"
"And why would you think we believe that Thomas?" Gordon asked.
"I do." Edward replied "Besides, if Thomas was lying, he could come up with a better one instead of this one."
"Please! Help me save her!"
"Fine..." said Gordon.
"I'll get the Fat Controller, maybe even a detective." added Edward.
Present
"Grrrrrr... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" yells Timothy then "Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! That's right, I have done it." confirms Timothy "I have been the God that is needed. Ever since my first action, I have been the justice necessary to take care of the other Railways that you all never did. But its not enough! You all are so selfish that it isn't funny... Someone had to save them! And when I first closed down a Railway, I knew I was the one to do it! YOU ALL NEEDED TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID AND I AM THE ONLY ONE WITH THE WILL TO DO IT!" There was then a brief silence.
"No, if you met us then suggested to help the smaller Railways first, I would have helped without a second thought, but you decided to kill so many people and tortured my friend to commit horrible actions that she wouldn't have done. You are beyond redemption Timothy." said Thomas angrily.
"What is it? You are going to scrap me?" asks Timothy deviously.
"Bother with scrap." said the Fat Controller "How about we convert you into a generator? Give you a perfect view of everything happening even." says the Fat Controller.
"Agreed." said the detective.
'Great, hopeless fools.' says Timothy to himself 'Where is Gordon? I can't look behind me so I can't tell but I need make my move...' says Timothy starting up 'And its now!' he then puffs away. Thomas smirks as he and Edward move to a siding, with the Fat Controller and detective hopping back on Edward.
"The path is clear for you Gordon!" toots Thomas as Gordon then goes flying by the 3 engines present currently. Gordon eventually catches up to Timothy and is almost hitting the buffers.
'No! Gordon is this fast?! There has to be a way around this! If I stop abruptly there is a chance we will both be thrown off the rails! I can't have that!' says Timothy to himself as Gordon's fireman carefully went up in front of Gordon and carefully cuppled up both of the engines together. When Gordon's fireman was safe, Gordon began to brake as hard as he could. Timothy tried to move on forward, but Gordon was too strong for him, eventually Timothy began to slowly slow down more and more until he stopped, then Gordon goes backwards carefully, not wanting to go too fast. Timothy noticed what was happening and felt a sense of despair thrown at him.
"EMMA! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Timothy called out to another Engine "Where are you?! Help me! I don't want to become a generator! I want to see you one more time! Please I don't want to be a generator! I can't go down like this!" Timothy just kept yelling and begging, his fears were finally showing, his emotions were spiraling out of control and he started to cry. He tried to think of a way around everything but he couldn't think of it, all he thought about were the faces of the deaths he had caused and how much destruction he had brought upon with his unparalleled intelligence. When Timothy got out of view, Edward left with the Fat Controller and the detective, with Thomas meanwhile going next to Emily. Emily was currently crying, several years of torture, hurting her friends, heavy psychological damage, all of that is flowing out of her.
"Emily... are you alright?" asks Thomas.
"I'm sorry... I feel awful..." says Emily "I just wanted to say... thank you for being by my side."
"Anything for my dear friend." replied Thomas. Gordon arrived at the Steamworks and the workmen immediately started to remove his mechanisms that he needs to function with then replaced them with mechanics for a generator. The next day, the detective arrived to the Fat Controller's office with some paperwork, handing them over.
"It's official, Timothy is the one who did it." says the detective as he then explains all of his deductive reasoning.
