Thomas began to feel dizzy as the trio walked through the Everfree forest, he tried so shake away the feeling as a black rim began to cloud the corners of his vision. "Excuse me, Can I ask you a few things?" Twilight ventured as Fluttershy began to use her wing to keep him leveled. "S-sure, go ahead." Thomas huffed, his stamina beginning to diminish, his accent became slightly more noticeable as he spoke. "Do you have a name at all?" asked the unicorn as she had to blow some of her mane out of her eyes. He then realized that he never even found out their names yet, but being the polite engine he was raised to be, he decided to answer their question first.
"I-I'm Thomas." he wheezed as the darkness began to intrude upon his sight yet again. "Just Thomas? Don't you have a last name?" Asked the magical creature with a horn on her head, her eyes showing many emotions, Sadness, Pity, and Curiosity. "N-no, just Thomas." He muttered as he gave into the darkness and fatigue and let his legs give out from under him. "Thomas!" Fluttershy and Twilight screamed as they watched Thomas fall, his eyes closed and his breathing slow, the last thing Thomas witnessed before he completely blacked out was the concerned faces of the unicorn and the pegasus looking at him, worry burning in their eyes.
Thomas awoke a few hours later, he felt bandages wrapped securely on his side as he moved to sit up, he looked to the window and discovered it was night time. He tried to get out of a small makeshift bed that rested right next to Twilight's bed, as he shifted the unicorn mare shot up and looked over to him, "What's wrong? What do you need?" her voice showed that she just woke up from a deep sleep. "N-nothing...where am I?" he asked, fear in the tiniest amount in his voice, "My house, after you passed out me and Fluttershy dragged you here." She replied, seemingly relieved that he was okay. Thomas released a small sigh of relief that he wasn't in any immediate danger, but he needed to find out more about his surroundings. Twilight groaned as she realized something, that she wasn't getting back to sleep anytime soon, so she stood up and light a candle that illuminated twilight's room to open up Thomas' view.
Thomas stood up, his legs feeling unsteady yet he was able to stay upright. He looked over towards his makeshift bed and gasped as he began to get in a defensive stance to fight off a dragon. "Ma'am-" He started but was interrupted by Twilight, "I'm Twilight, Twilight Sparkle." she added as Thomas continued his sentence, "Twilight, Run as fast as you can, I'll take care of the dragon!" he whispered to her as he was about to jump, "WAIT!" Twilight screamed as she stood in front of the ready stallion, "It's just Spike, Spike is my baby dragon." She informed him then she began to help him calm down.
Thomas, after having calmed down, started to notice movement outside from what looked like a giant Pegasus with a moderate sapphire blue mane with a grayish persian aura surrounding it. Her coat was a grayish phthalo blue color, Thomas gazed in amazement at this magnificent princess of the night, "Twilight-" Thomas didn't take his gaze of the pony outside, her silhouette resting in front of the moon. "-Who is that?" he asked as he motioned her to look out the window. "That's Princess Luna, her job to the raise the moon every night." She answered as if everypony should know that.
Thomas smiled and thanked her for answering his questions. After Twilight went back to sleep, clutching her old doll, Smarty Pants, tightly under her hoof, Thomas silently slipped out of the front door to meet Luna. Luna sat on a roof high above the other houses in Ponyville, staring at the moon. Thomas was, for lack of a better word, nervous to introduce himself, He just looked up at her as she sat there. Thomas then got an idea, granted a very stupid idea, but an idea none the less.
Thomas ran as fast as he could, he was a fast engine even with out the jet engine, he tapped into his speed potential and discovered that he ran as fast as he puffed when he was a train. But he wanted to go faster, he was on one side of Ponyville while the spot for his plan was on the other, granted he was moving as fast as a tank engine could yet he needed to move faster. He closed his eyes and thought "I must go faster, I must go faster." apparently that was all it took because before he knew it, he felt flames on the bottom of his hooves as he sprinted. "I haven't moved this fast since the jet engine!" he exclaimed happily, fire tracks marking his path to the Everfree forest.
Thomas stopped at the spot in the Everfree where he saved Rarity, and sure enough the giant timberwolf leader was there. It seemed to be sniffing the ground from where Thomas had stood earlier that day, obviously trying to track the pony that best it down. "Well, you don't seem to take losing lightly." Thomas said in a mocking tone and, as he wanted, got it's attention. It growled at the very sight of him then leaped, Thomas smirked as he jumped back, dodging the wolf by inches, "Catch me if you can!" Thomas mocked as he started to run, using the embedded jet engine of his soul to run as fast as Rainbow Dash could fly. The Timberwolf ran after it's prey, surprisingly being able to keep up with Thomas, "You're a fast one, aren't you?' Thomas asked as he ran, getting closer to Ponyville.
As Thomas got closer to town he slowed down, then acted out of breath, "HELP!" He screamed as the Timberwolf pounced at him again. Luna was about to return home when she heard the cry for assistance, she unfurled her wings and stretched quickly before flying towards the scream. Thomas watched out the corner of his eye as Luna came into view, coming to his rescue from the attacking beast. The Timberwolf howled and in seconds flat a whole pack of timberwolfs emerged and ran towards Luna, sensing that she was a bigger threat than Thomas. Luna screamed as the swarmed her, blocking any ground escape, she looked above for an aerial escape, only to find them stationed on the rooftops. They were completely surrounded with no means of escape.
