Despicable Thomas, Grus On Sodor Chapter 2
Diesel 10, the leader of the diesels, was a larger and nastier-looking than Diesel, his eyes were deadly to watch. He held his huge, metal, semi-sentient, hydraulic claw above his head, and he has a dislike on the steam engines. "Yeah, silly steamies indeed," Diesel replied. He was awfully large and nasty-looking himself, and sleeker than Diesel 10. "The steamies get to have all the work, while we have lots more fun" snarled Diesel 10. "Let's show those steamies who's better on this railway" said Diesel. "Alert the troops! We attack at dawn" growled Diesel 10, If I'm gonna enjoy my revenge, I want it to be satisfying!". Meanwhile Gru and his family were coming in to land at the Sodor Airport.
Gru parked his airship roughly on top of a car, crushing it in the process! "MY CAR!" yelled a man. ''Was that really necessary?'' Lucy asked. "For some people, honey. Some people" replied Gru and began to chuckle to himself. Margo remembered him saying that before. Lucy sighed heavily. As they checked in through the airport, there was an announcement on the radio. ''We have breaking news, We have some villains on Sodor from the USA, Vector Perkins, Balthazar Bratt, El Macho and his son, Antonio. Please inform the police if you happen to see them, thank you''. Gru froze in terror!
How on earth had Vector returned to earth when he had got stuck on the moon after he had kidnapped the girls from their Swan Lake expert dance recital? "What have they been following us?" asked Margo. "I don't think so, Margo" replied Gru. "OK, I know, El Macho and Bratt but who's Vector?" asked Lucy. "And I only know Bratt, not this El Macho person you speak of or Vector..." added Dru. Gru explained everything to Dru and Lucy about what had happened before they had entered his life and so did the girls. ''We must all keep a look out for dem and keep our eyes peeled'' hissed Gru. The others couldn't have agreed more with him. Back at the railway stations where there was a much bigger double decker bus.
The bus growled as he stared longingly at the passengers getting on and off the express coaches. ''Stupid nonsense'' he grumbled, ''Free the roads!''. "C'mon, Bulgy, you're not going all anti-railways again, are you?" said Gordon, who was pulling the express. "BAH!" grunted Bulgy, "Enjoyment is all you engines live for! One day, everyone's gonna wanna use the road! NOT THE RAILWAY!". ''Oh the indignity!'' Gordon groaned as he puffed away. Bulgy went to pick up Gru and his family and take them to the hotel they were staying in while they were there. They hadn't noticed he was alive with a face yet. They arrived at the hotel and went to check into their rooms. "It looks like a princess castle from the fairy-tale stories!" exclaimed Agnes.
"I wonder if there were any windows to break?" said Edith with a mischievous grin on her face. ''Don't even think about eet, Edith'' Gru warned her, ''Cos if we break anything in the hotel, den we'll have to pay for eet to be fixed''. "Darn it" mumbled Edith, under her breath. ''That's right Edith'' said Lucy, ''We gotta respect other people's properties''. "Otherwise, we'll get arrested" Margo pointed out. "Hey, look! A swimming pool!" said Dru, excitedly, "And it comes with a Jacuzzi, too!". ''Can I go in it please Mom?'' Margo begged. "Sure, after we book ourselves in" promised Lucy. She and Gru checked in while Dru and the minions carried in the luggage. One minion bumped into another minion.
"OOOF! GRRRR!" grunted the minion who got bumped. The other minion shrugged and chuckled nervously. They began to fight until Kevin stepped in to stop them. He ranted in minionese. "I'll show you to your rooms'' said a business lady, leading the family to the elevator with the minions in tow. Cos, Kyle, Blondie and Lucky weren't allowed in the hotel, they had to go and stay in a vacation place of their own. The family divided into three rooms with each of the girls with one of the grown-ups. Margo went with Lucy, Agnes went with Gru and Edith went with Dru. Each couple shared their room with some of the minions. It was time to settle down.
Meanwhile, across the island at the Diesel works, the diesels planning their attack at the crack of dawn.
"Since we saw Thomas taking a blame from The Fat Controller, we're gonna do somethin' that was never done before" Diesel 10 began, "We'll have to demolish the Steam works!". All the diesels snickered. Expect Paxton who quickly piped up, "What?! You can't do that! That's just being so cruel!". "QUIET!" roared Diesel 10. Little did the diesels know that Thomas was overhearing their plans while he was delivering the mail and was hiding nearby from a safe distance in the darkness. ''I've gotta warn the Fat Controller!'' Thomas thought to himself, ''And everyone else!''. The diesels thundered down the tracks towards the Steam works. Thomas followed them quietly to see where they were going to find out what they were going to do. The diesels started to demolish the Steam works as quietly as they could so as not to wake up Victor and Kevin.
They biffed into the buffers, spun on the turntable and this time, they knocked things over and broke things too, ''No one will be fixed!'', said Diesel 10, pounding his metal claw on the metal and the wall. ''Cinders and ashes!'' cried Thomas, ''They're destroying the Steam works just like they did before! Why are they doing it again?''. Later that morning at the docks, El Macho, Balthazar Bratt, Vector, and Antonio were lurking about the place. ''You smell that, lads?" asked El Macho. "Fish?" said Vector. "No! Freedom!" insisted Bratt. "I knew Gru and I should have ruled the world together" said El Macho. "But a plan after a plan, we failed. But for now, it's payback time".
