Let the light shine through rising waters.

Last time our sudrian teens and their human Tug friends have joined forces to help possible evacuees from the rising flood waters across the Island of Sodor. They all pitched in and tidied up the cabins and the dining hall in case the housing for the residents will be too much for the cabins to hold. Then their first wave of evacuees had arrive and turned out to be their Narrow gauge friends from the Skarloey railway and decided to be a help rather than a hinderance, Duncan just arrive to annoy Bill and Ben by teasing about trading engine shells with the Narrow gauge boy when Cassey Tallshalley came over to explain that on the engine that came out of that particular shell is the only one that can re enter that shell when the time is right. This relieved the twins, but Duncan was most curious about Cassey's family is involved in the keepers of the light and after hearing this Maxwell, Cassey's father came over to help how complicated it is to be the keepers of the light. But this got everyone in the Dinning hall curious and the Tallshalley's are reluctant to reveal of what they know about the life light, and what role it played through out the years since their family was entrusted to it for centuries even before the evolution of man on earth was known. Knowing they cannot withhold this information for too long may have the Tallshalleys to explain about how the light was given to them from a long time period. Duke however stepped up and had to make sure Duncan did not make Maxwell too uneasy about a question that Mr. Tallshalley is able to answer.

Duke. "Duncan, I do not believe that Mr. Tallshalley is very comfortable about answering that question, it may not be any of our business of what they are the way they are."

Duncan. "But maybe it can help us understand what they know about these great elders they have been talking about, and why is it that we are now out of our engine shells and not riding up and down the rails as we use to."

Skarloey came over and wanted to know if Duncan wants to return to his engine side. "Duncan do you really want to return to your engine side and return to your duties as a narrow-gauge engine while the rest of us remain in school?"

Duncan did not know of what to say, he did miss becoming a Narrow-gauge engine but does like his life as a young middle school boy and had to rethink about why he is so curious about the keepers of the light that Cassey and his family had been since learning about them from Thomas and the other Standard gauge engine friends.

Duncan. "Don't get me wrong, I do like my life as is, as a young boy able to move around without being bound by the tracks is a wonderful experience. I just wonder about the history of Cassey Tallshalley and his family involved in the Crystals of light. It has been on my mind since learning it from Thomas and the other standard gauge friends."

Then Thomas came up and find it best to let this subject to subside for a while since this is no time for stories when there are more evacuees coming in from the flood waters.

Thomas. "We will ask them another time when we are not under a flood watch, much of the areas that are hard time are near the mines and the quarries, so for the time being be glad that you are not the engine getting stuck in this weather."

Skarloey. "Thomas is right it is best to be prepared for when the evacuees arrive and need a place to keep warm and out of the rising flood waters." Everyone agreed and decided to allow for the story telling for another time.

On another part of the Island Natalie Shores and her family are on their way up to her uncles' home for safety until the flood waters resided. Unknown to them the mountain village can only be reached by rail and the next engine to head up that way was not to arrive until a half hour from now and along the way a stream that crosses the narrow gauge line was starting to swell into a torrential torrent that is threatening to wash away the bridge and one of the Narrow gauge engines who was still there Freddie looked at this and was alarmed about the bridge's condition.

Fearless Freddie. "I better get this word to the acting controller before the next train will become a wash out with the bridge." Then he tore down the line until he reached the next station to alert the situation up the line. The Station master agreed.

Stationmaster. "I will alert Mr. Percival at once, then spread it to the acting controller." In which he did, back at the homestead Mr. Percival had indeed got word about one of the bridges on the verge on coming down with the flood waters, everyone in the hall had to listen including Trent and Shawn about which train was on the way and who was supposed to ride in it.

Mr. Percival. "Hello, yes this is he… What, Oh Dear. OH alright. Well then we cannot send anymore trains down that line until the water levels have died down again and give this word to the acting controller and make sure he gets it without fail."

Rheneas. "What is the situation sir?"

Mr. Percival. "It appears that one of the streams that crosses the railway is on the verge of collapsing the bridge above it so I may have no choice but to halt all trains until better weather can allow for us to see what repairs are to be needed."

Everyone wanted to know of which engine was to take that train, then Duncan remembers which engine it was that was supposed to take that train and it was his own engine shell and hopes his driver and fireman was warned before they took the train before crossing over that bridge.

Duncan. "OH dear, I hope my driver and Fireman know when to stay clear of that dangerous bridge before my engine shell was to travel over it."

Then Trent remembers who was supposed to take that train to the mountain of sodor.

Trent. "My goodness, my girlfriend Natalie Shores is traveling on your railway to reach her uncle's place until the waters recede."

Thomas. "We better hope she has not boarded that train before the bridge was to be washed out, better call her on your phone to make sure she is alright Trent."

Trent wasting no time reached for her phone and dialed her smartphone number in hopes to reach her before boarding the train. "I am on it Thomas." Then after hearing the ring tone to her smart phone to go off. "Come on. Come on, come on."

On the other side Natalie had indeed reached into her phone and was relieved it was Trent but wondered about why he is calling her now. "Hello."

Trent. "Ah Natalie thank goodness I have reached you, have you boarded your train yet?'

Natalie. "No Trent Why do you ask?"

Trent. "Listen I just gotten word from the Narrow-Gauge controller that your train has to remain at the station due to the fact there is a bridge along the way to your uncles that is about to come down with the flood waters."

Natalie alarmed of what Trent is telling her. "Trent are you sure?"

Trent. "I am serious Natalie; I am worried both for you and your family. You may need to come over to the homestead until the water levels are safe to travel around sodor again."

Then Natalie alarmed her family of what she had learned from Trent about the Rising floodwaters, but her father stubbornly dismisses the warning from her boyfriend in hopes that they way was clear enough for the travels along the railway lines.

Mr. Shores. "I am sure the way is safe Natalie, so you can say goodbye to your friend, and you can see him again until we returned from you uncle's." This worries both Natalie and her mother about how much of a risk her father is taking. Worried for her family Natalie had to tell Trent what is going on.

Natali. "Trent bad news, my father won't take your warning seriously and he believe that the way is clear enough to make the journey."

Trent. "Natalie you have got to get your family to safety it is not safe, Mr. Percival is right here, and he just made the announcement to the acting controller about the dangers please make sure your family is safe." Realizing what is taking place she had to make her father see sense before they take a train to disaster and this time Duncan is not in his engine form to stop them from the rising waters.

Natalie. "Let me make sure I can reason with my father before it is too late." Then she placed a hold on Trent until she hopes to make her father see reason of his decision. "Father please the Narrow-gauge controller had placed a stop to all trains until the danger is cleared."

Her father is still convinced that the way is clear for them to take the train.

Mr. Shores. "I am sure the way is safe for our travels Natalie, it that were the case the announcer would have announced it already." Then the announcer announced about the closure of the lines until the dangers of the flood waters have subsided.

The announcer. "I am very sorry to announce that the mountain route to the hills have been suspended due to the rising floodwaters determined to wash the bridge away. For everyone's convenience please refrain to travel by rails since the waters are threatening to wash the bridge away with anyone who dare cross it." To Natalie and her mother's sake they were relieved, but Mr. Shores was not.

Mr. Shores. "I came all this way in the rain to make it up to my brother's for safe keeping, and I am determined to get there one way or another."

Mrs. Shores. "How dear, the way is blocked by the floodwaters and the only way up there is to go by rail and it is close due to the dangers."

Natalie. "Dad Trent had invited us to the Bilington / Vulcan homestead until the floodwaters can go down again, why don't we go by their offer of safety."

Then everyone heard the whistle and it was the whistle to Duncan's engine shell that had been given the word about the bridge crossing the swollen water ways and the driver and Firemen was now aware about the danger and decided to retire the engine for the duration of the danger. This got to Mr. Shores an Idea about how to get up to his brother's location in hopes he is not wrong about the way to a safe place from the floodwaters.

Mr. Shores. "Why don't we see what we can do with fine fellows like these can do for us." He said as he walked his way over to the sheds where the rest of the narrow- gauge engines are resting and the boiler in Duncan's shell was starting to cool down for the night as the crews were approached by Mr. Shores. "Hello, my fellow men, I was wondering if any of you are willing to go on a daring venue during this outrage weather we are under?"

The engine driver know they must keep their engines in the sheds during bad weather and after being alerted about the bridge that is on the verge of being washed away made them wander what kind of adventure the man in question is talking about.

Skarloey's driver. "Hello there, what kind of venture are we talking about, we are under orders to stay put until the dangers across the railway is cleared."

Mr. Shores. "And what will the dangers be that is preventing you lot from venturing across your fine railway?"

Rusty's Driver. "We just got word that one of the bridges that crosses our railway line is bound to collapse due to the rising flood waters there and it is threatening to wash that bridge away with the next train if it was too foolish to cross it."

Duncan's Driver. "Aye and since Duncan had become humanized along with the other engine across the Island cannot make any silly comments about any thing that he can get himself into trouble about."

Mr. Shores, "Are you sure no engine nor train it to make any travels to the mountain village?"

Peter Sam's Driver. "I am afraid so sir, any driver fireman or even any of the engines who have not been humanized yet would not dare to cross that bridge while under such dangerous conditions."

Then Natalie came up to her father in hopes he listens to her not knowing the danger down the line.

Natalie. "Daddy come on let us go to the homestead and we will be safe there. I am sure they have their place ready for such an event." The workers heard of this and found it to be a great Idea for their families to head over to the homestead until the floodwaters have gone down. Then Mr. Shores asked the men for another way up to the mountain Village.

Mr. Shores. "Are you all sure there isn't another way up to the mountain village?"

Skarloey's Driver. "The other way to the mountain village is on the mountain roadways, but oh, you must be careful when running up that way. This rainy weather will create mudslides making the roads too slippery to drive through."

Mr. Shores. "Then we will travel up the mountain Roadways, come on Natalie, we will reach your uncles by the roads."

Both Natalie and her mother are now worried if they traveled up the mountain roadways, they can all be endangered if there is any indication of a mud slide. Remembering that she still has Trent on hold decided to let him and the others know what is going on in case if things did not go to plan."

Natalie. "Trent this is Natalie."

Trent. "Natalie, are you alright, are you and your family coming to the homestead with the rest of us?"

Natalie. "No Trent my dad is still determined to get up to the mountain village by roadway."

Trent. "BY ROADWAY!"

Skarloey heard this and know that the roadway was a dangerous way to travel during weather conditions like this. "The Mountain Roadways, that way is too dangerous to travel up to the mountain village like that."

Rheneas. "They must not go that way, if the roadways are too saturated then there is a danger of mudslides that can either trapped them or make them go down some of the mountain sides that are too steep to survive from."

Thomas. "WE must stop them from making that mistake."

Trent then returned to Natalie. "Natalie do what you can to persuade your father about his ideas of going up that mountain. If you must call your uncle about your dad's decision about traveling up that way. If you find yourself and your family in a dangerous situation either call for me or for your uncle to make sure we can find you alright."

Natalie. "Alright Trent. And Trent of all does not go to plan. I love you."

Trent. "I love you too Natalie, please be safe."

Then both sides hang up and Thomas decided to call Sir Topham Hat about the troubles on the Skarloey Railway and a family who was about to travel along the mountain road in this weather. Then when STH heard about the risk this family was taking had immediately notified the Sodor Search and Rescue center about the family who was risking traveling up the mountain road to the mountain village. Harold the Helicopter took off from his base and traveled through the stormy weather to find the vehicle traveling to the mountain village.

Back on the homestead Thomas is organizing a rescue party in the event that Harold cannot find the vehicle before they can. The group included Thomas, Skarloey, and Duncan along with Trent and Cassey who came in one vehicle while the other group contains Gordon, long with Rheneas, and Peter Sam along with Donald and Douglas to provide extra digging power in the event of a mud slide is to bury the family on their way to the mountain village.

On the Roads Mr. Shores had found the way to the mountain Village, but Natalie and Mrs. Shores is not happy at all about the conditions the mountain road pathways. The earth surrounding the roads appear to be unstable and could create a mud slide and any moment. Mrs. Shores is worried that the car will go with the family when the earth will finally give way.

Mrs. Shores. "Maybe we should have taken Trent's offer to the homestead, the way up to the mountain road looks very dangerous honey."

Natalie decided to talk to her uncle about where they are and how they are traveling up to his place.

Natalie. "Hello uncle, I just wanted to let you know that the railway had to closed due to a swollen river threatening to wash it away. My dad decided to take the Mountain Roadway to your place."

The Uncle. "What! Is he nuts? He is going to be the death of his own family if he is too stubborn to listen to the dangers. Was there an alternative to traveling to my way Nettie?"

Natalie. "We were offered by Trent to stay at the Homestead of Thomas and Rosie, but dad refused. I left a message back to Trent in Case not all goes to plan."

The Uncle. "That is a good thing you did Natty, if you gave word to him then most likely the word is to spread to STH the standard gauge controller."

Natalie. "I was making you know for sure just in case you were wondering where we have been since leaving home uncle."

The Uncle. "That is good as well Natty. I will wait until you all arrive, that is if you do. Be safe and make sure to send out an alarm in case of danger Natty."

Natalie. "I will uncle goodbye."

Then both parties hang up and hopes their travels is not of anyone's worry.

Mr. Shores. "Where you just talking to your uncle Natalie?"

Natalie. "Yes, and he said that you must be nuts of you are traveling out in this weather on the mountain roadway, and from the looks of the mountain side I really do not like the looks of it."

Mr. Shores. "What is there to be worried about it is just the mountain landscape all around us that is no different if we were to travel during dry times."

Mrs. Shores. "But not when the weather is this bad and the mountain landscape appears to be unstable, why did you ignore the drivers from that shed about traveling up this way in this weather?"

That is when they all heard a rumble and both Natalie and her mother can see and hear where it was coming from, there was a bit of earth that had slid down the mountain slope and started to head into their direction and also was alarmed about the other side of the embankment that is also starting to rumble and came lose to their direction before the earth came close to them both Natalie and her mother rolled up their windows and hopes to roll up Mr. Shores window before both sides of the embankment of earth and covered them up under a mound of earth and debris now the family was stuck under the landslide and both Natalie and her mother was not happy about Mr. Shores decision about taking a dangerous journey up a dangerous mountain slope under dangerous weather conditions.

Out on the open roads Thomas and his party made it to the Skarloey railway by road and found the Drivers and the firemen still tending to their engines to see if the family they were looking for was alright.

Rheneas's Driver. "WE are sorry Thomas, but Mr. Shores was determined to get his family to his brother's but did warn him about the dangers up that mountain road to the village. I believe they could be buried alive if it would come to that."

Rheneas. "What time was it when they left?"

Skarloey's Driver. "I'd say they had left about a half our ago, oh but ah, I do not believe it was smart of them traveling that way when the embankments of earth from a particular spot is to give way. If they are anywhere, they are probably there you lot."

Skarloey. "We only know the mountain by rails how do we navigate by roads since we are not able to drive while under-aged."

That is when Cassey decided to use something that he and his family had learned about if they are to find anyone who are in grave danger like this. He collected his thoughts and used the ground to feel around to find the family all around the area. He sensed where the mountain road was to begin and had stopped in a section of the roads where two joining landslides had combined and had entrapped the family just below the surface of the combining mudslides.

Cassey. "I know where they are, they are just shy of the first slopes to the mountain way. There had been a double mudslide that trapped the vehicle in the valley way of the roads. We need to hurry and find that vehicle before the occupants begin to lose air in there."

Thomas. "Cassey you are with me and the rest will follow where to find that vehicle where the Shores may be." That is what they all did, following where to go had followed the directions of Cassey up until the found the very spot they all have been looking for. From the looks of it, the roadway was indeed blocked up with the spilled earth and debris they know they must act fast to clear this up if they want to rescue their friends from a terrible mistake brought on to them by a stubborn father and the importance of keep his family safe from danger, by going through dangers. "alright everyone we need to dig this area fast, Gordon phone back to the homestead we will be needing the excavator and the backhoe to remove this debris from this area, and I will alert STH About where we found the family."

Gordon. "Well do Thomas."

Donald. "Any Thing for us to do Thomas?"

Thomas. "Donald and Douglas, use your long poles to see if we can find that car the Shores were traveling in, if you found the top of the car stop and start to dig around the area until you start to see the windows. We need to start to make sure they can find some fresh air to breath. Trent get on the phone to let Natalie and her family know that help is here to get them out of there."

Trent. "Will do Thomas." Then Trent dialed the number and hopes that Natalie was still alive under all that earth. Then from under the earth mound and still hanging on Natalie heard her phone go off and was relieved to hear Trent from top side of the mud and was relieved that there was a rescue on the way. "Hello Natalie, this is Trent and I am with Thomas and the rescue party trying to find you and your family, how are you doing love?"

Natalie. "Trent. Oh, thank goodness that you have found us, we are fine just trapped by the twin mud flows that has buried us."

Trent. "we are doing the best we can, we have asked those who are back at the homestead to bring in the backhoe and the excavator to help removed this debris away, while Donald and Douglas are trying to find your location before we can dig you and your family out love."

Natalie. "Oh, please hurry Trent before we all would start to lose air under here."

This got Trent worried about the family to suffocate while looking to find the car in time then alerted the twins about the situation. "Donald Douglas you need to step it up before they run out of air from under there."

Donald. "We are doing the best we can Trent, we just needed to be going in the right direction before we can dig them out." That is when Cassey using his mental abilities again to help locate where the family vehicle could be, is now aware of where to find the hidden car to help the rescue even further.

Cassey. "Donald you and Douglas need to go to the left of the two of you and you will be on top of their car but be careful not to make that mud to sink in from underneath you."

Douglas "Thank you Cassey, we will keep that in mind." Then both he and Donald went over to the spot that Cassey mentioned about and started to probe the mud again until Douglas had a hit with his long pole. "I think I have found the tops of the car."

Then Donald came over with his long pole and help determined hat his brother had indeed found the car after his long pole had made a hit and that the car was found. "aye I believe we struck the Shores family car Thomas, But it may need to have some of this debris to be removed before we can start digging, I suggest we use the chainsaws to remove the trees while the machines are to dig the earth away to rescue them." It was at this moment Henry and Edward came by in their trucks to bring over the machines to help clear the mud away.

Thomas. "Edward Henry perfect timing, we need to remove much of this debris away before we can reach for the family car of the Shores."

After everyone planned out the directions to the car was now on their way to rescue the family that are still under the mud. They are making progress as Trent still was able to keep Natalie up to date about the rescue while her mother was giving her dad a very displeased look about not listening to good advice especially when everyone told him how dangerous the way was. Then at last the excavator was able to grab the last of the trees that was covering the tops of the car and had allowed for the ground crew to dig out the car much to the family's relief and had offered them a ride to the homestead where it is safe to stay until the weather clears. Thomas and the rest will return when the mountain road is safe to travel again to collect the trees that had fallen due to the land slide. To them anything that nature is to provide is enough for them to take into their lumber needs. Right now, it is best that everyone returned to the homestead and everyone who has been taking shelter there until the rains will finally stop the following day. Everyone was safe and sound thanks to the preparedness the homesteaders were able to provide. In the dining hall Mr. Shores was surrounded by his family and how disappointed they were in him by endangering his family by going against everyone's warnings.

There to hear it all was the homesteaders and the rest of their friends to hear what the controllers of both railways have to say to Mr. Shores.

STH. "Mr. Shores do you have any Idea of the serious nature of the circumstances you have put your family through. Everyone was warning you about the dangers of going up that mountain and yet you ignore them. You were given multiple opportunities to come to the homestead where they would be more than happy to give your family shelter from the recent storms we just had."

Mr. Percival. "Just be thankful that Thomas and the humanized engines and their friends cooperated to help locate you and your family before anything could get worse. What do you have to say for yourself before your own family?"

Mr. shores knows he had done something wrong, if only he knew of it before his bullheadedness got in the way of protecting his family from his overprotective nature.

Mr. Shores. "I am sorry everyone, I was hoping to reach my brother's place knowing that would be the highest place before the waters got too high to cross, but by the time I got there the waterways was already too close to the rails, I would have made it up if the earth around the roadway did not gave way."

STH. "But it did Mr. shores all you had to do is come to the homestead like everyone had hoped you did, why ignore such good advice from those who worry about you and your family sir?"

Then Natalie may have known what it could be the real reason why her father had ignored the warnings and invitations from the homesteaders.

Natalie. "Does this have anything to do about my seeing Trent Dimes dad, because if it is, I am not happy about you have just implied here."

Mr. Shores. "Natalie that is not the reason?"

Natalie. "I think that is what it is, whenever Trent comes over and want to spend some time with us as a whole family, he wanted to get to know everyone of us to better understand me."

Mrs. Shores. "Is this true, is this the reason why you would avoid coming to the homestead to visit the Humanized engines and tugboats for what reason? Because they use to be machines now becoming human!"

Mr. Shores now feels very embarrassed after that statement from his wife and now staring at the humanized engines and Tugboats now feeling disgusted about how Mr. shores feel about the Humanized machines becoming human and now feels ashamed about his behavior from before.

Mr. Shores. "I am sorry everyone, I thought I was protecting my daughter from a bad idea, I guess that I had the bad idea. When I heard that the engines had removed themselves from their engine sides I believe as long it is with their engine friends then that is alright, then hearing how some of the tugboats had also become human I thought it was a matter of time before other tugs did the same but did not expect for my daughter to make friends with any of them. I am very sorry for the wrong mind set I had."

Oscar. "Well we now know of what to expect from some folk who believe in only human side only and not the other side of life."

Zeb. "I do not like it much when we are just seen by one side only, but I am glad not every human has that same train of thought that you just demonstrated here to us tonight."

Shawn. "It is really hurtful of what you have just said Mr. Shores as least Beverly's family seems to understand that it is not easy for others to accept you when experiencing life after becoming human after many years as a tugboat."

Trent. "I thought we were good Mr. Shores I thought we had an understanding that I will not do anything to hurt Natalie. She and I are still going through school and have not done anything to hurt her that is why I wanted to get to know both you and your wife to better understand Natalie and find the friends in her parents."

Thomas. "WE already know how hard it is to adjust to life living as a human compared if we were still engines on the tracks and tugboats out on the Harbor. Trying to adjust to life as a human is more harder when other humans cannot accept the fact when life makes changes to the world around them, then how can we who were just machines now becoming human can ever trust in humans just because they have a had time understanding us to begin with. How will the children here can really find a welcoming place like sodor, when people like you want to say this cannot be so, when the children will be asking why it cannot be so when they can see it before their own eyes."

Some of the children in the hall could not help but to wonder what the problem is with the humanized engine they have known since their parents have known to ride them since they were children themselves. Then one of the children wanted to let Thomas to know that he has no problem about the Engine becoming human and tugged at his pants leg just to have Thomas to look down and sees the small boy extend his arms to be picked up by Thomas and Said. "I know you are really the same Thomas That rolled down as an engine, now becoming human. I think you as a human is the greatest thing that happen since your arrival here on the Island of sodor." Touched by the young boy's reaction Thomas bent down and picked up the small boy knowing that the boy has not fear about Thomas being human and held him close to give the young boy a hug while he was still in his hold.

Thomas. "Thank you, and what is your name by the way?"

The boy. "The name is Thomas I believe we met before when I was crying, and you were riding me to sleep."

Then Thomas remembered this was the boy who he helped get him and his mother to sleep that one time. And because of so had Thomas hugged little Thomas again to say thank you and good to see him since the last time.

Everyone was touched at the sight of two Thomas s one who used to be the engine and the young boy who all remembered was crying to sleep after hearing what Thomas did while he was still the engine.

Then the controller returned their attention back to Mr. Shores about his behavior the day earlier. STH. "it seems like you have missed use a sense of judgement that prevented you from understanding the Humanized engines and their friend s the tugboats. Tell me this if they have not been from machines then have you ever thought of who your daughter may find a friend besides Beverly Norse?"

Mr. Shores. "It is not just from Trent; I try and protect her from all boys who I thought would want to take an advantage of her."

Natalie. "You mean keep me from finding other friends besides that of Beverly, am I right daddy?"

Mrs. Shores. "No wonder why she could not find anyone to have as a friend when they happen to be the boys am I right. You will have to do better than that if you can convince me that you will allow for your daughter to make the right decision for herself one day."

Both Natalie and her mother decided to walk away from the dad and took this opportunity for him to think about his behavior to the residents of the homestead while the parents of the children who heard from Mr. Shores and are now disgusted about his behavior and decided to gather their children away from this bad influence he was creating and the Human Engines and Tugboats had left Mr. shores alone to think for his actions before checking to see which areas have been declared safe to return home to for the residents who are staying at the homestead until otherwise.

Do you believe that Mr. Shores will ever learn his lesson, or do you believe he can do some good to the residents while making amends to the humanized tugboats along with the humanized engines? We will find out on the next journey through Northwestern High School.
