Author's Note: Sorry I didn't put any of the ponies I said I would in this chapter, but I wanted to hurry and put this up before the weekend. I'll try and at least put Doctor Whooves in briefly in chapter 6.
Thomas: I thought the reason was because your lazy.
Me: One more peep out of you and your goanna be Timberwolf chow!
Thomas: I'll be quite.
Me: thank you, ON TO THE STORY!
Thomas had grown to be a very popular pony in Ponyville, every time he went down to the market to pick up supplies and food for Twilight, ponies would recognize him, ask for his autograph then be on their happy little way. His popularity grew to the point in which comics were created in his honor, they even made a crossover between him and the mysterious Mare-Do Well.
Thomas, even with all his fame and popularity. felt very lonely. Sure he had Twilight and her friends yet they were always ponies, so they couldn't understand that he used to be a tank engine, "Maybe I could try and explain to them..." he sighed as he walked through Ponyville, hoping that at least ONE engine would find the portal Mr. Discord had made, the thought of Discord made Thomas wonder what was going on at home.
Meanwhile back On Sodor
Discord laughed as he watched the very fabric of harmony in this land unfurl before him, He watched as the once friendly animal that in habited Henry's Forest turned into gigantic grumpy versions of themselves. "Oh what BEAUTIFUL Chaos!" He shouted as he sat on his throne on top of Tidmouth sheds, The big engines tried to stand against him, yet he lifted them into the air, spun them 360 degrees and threw them down onto the tracks. But Discord did do at least one kindness for the locals of the new 'Discord-topia" by resurrecting the recently scrapped Percy or Patrick or whatever his name was.
Percy, now back in perfect order, began to ask about the weird creature and where Thomas is, "Thomas? No one has seen him since this beast shown up a week ago." Toby huffed as he hid in his shed for fear of Discord. Gordon and Henry said the same, but Emily gave Percy a better answer. "When Thomas heard you got scrapped he puffed off on his branch line. Then a few hours later, that Discord thing showed up and took control of our Island." Emily mumbled as she had to try and entertain Discord.
Percy had to find Thomas for two reasons, One, he had to let his best friend know he was ok, Two, because Thomas could help him figure out how to get rid of this horrible dictator. Percy must have been chugging for hours, because when he finally came to a wheeshing stop at a crossing, the now purple sun had disappeared to reveal a green cheese moon. "Thomas, where could you have gone?" Percy murmured sadly as he slowly rolled along side the branch line his friend knew so well.
Percy looked over towards the branch line and blinked in surprise, he could literally see memories of Thomas on the branch line, "Come on Annie, Clarabelle we mustn't be late." stated the apparition as it wheezed it's steam and puffed away into nothingness. Percy slowly began to feel tears run down his face as he chuffed along the branch line, he came up to a switch in the rails that his driver man pulled, allowing Percy to traverse his best friend's railway line. As he made his way along, a small sucking sound grabbed his view from the tracks below to the spinning hole in time and space in front of him.
Percy gasped in surprise as he viewed another apparition of his friend, only this one wasn't a memory, it was if something wanted Percy to see what happened to his friend. Discord exited a vortex in a flash of white. Discord stretched his legs and wings, "My my, what a...un-chaotic world." He said, Thomas puffed up close to the vortex "Maybe solitude is what I need." he muttered as the draconequus began to float over to the tracks and towards Thomas. Percy watched as the vision as it played out, "If I find out where Thomas is, maybe I can bring him home!" He thought and the thought put a smile on his face.
When Percy turned back to the apparitions he witnessed how Thomas vanished into thin air, "Well...My best friend, Percy, got scrapped earlier today and...I just need to find someplace to forget it all for a while." Thomas admitted sadly as Discord threw on a fake smile and looked at Thomas with false sympathy and laid his trap, "You're in luck then for I, as you can see, am not from your world. But I can bring you to my world while I stay here and...Help the inhabitants." "Lair" muttered the little mail engine under his breath.
Thomas seemed ecstatic as his eyes beamed brightly up to Discord as he opened a portal on the tracks. The vortex has a pink brim and the swirling colors seemed so warm and friendly that Thomas had to smile, He looked over to his new "Friend" who gave him a thumbs up. Thomas took a deep breath and, after being abandoned by his driver and fireman, headed right into the spinning vortex to who knows where.
Percy whistled happily because he found a clue to where Thomas is, he charged foreword, hoping to find the opening he had seen in the vision. After what seemed like hours of chuffing and puffing down the line, the morning sun began to peek over the trees and glistening upon the holy grail of Percy's adventure, the vortex from his vision! Percy beamed brightly as he went at it full steam ahead, his driver and fireman diving out of the sides of his cab as he passed through.
Percy felt like he was goanna be sick, he was being flipped and spun in every direction, his wheels started to change and morph into...hooves? His sides began to turn into skin, hell as a bonus he even got wings added. Percy was very confused as he watched his body transform from steel to flesh in a matter of minutes due to due to the equine-centric laws of the world he was entering. Like Thomas, Percy was knocked out cold after being hit by a blue police box, his body floating peacefully through time and space.
Percy landed face first in the dirt of the Everfree forest, he slowly started to stand up, the whole world was spinning way to fast for him. Slash the Timberwolf noticed the new prey on his land, he was smaller then his archenemy yet looked just as tasty, he sneaked around in the bushes being as quietly as he could. "H-hello? Anyone there?" Percy quivered as he slowly walked foreword towards a bright light at the end of the path, he heard something in the bushes but dismissed it as nothing. SNAP! Slash pounced using a tree as a launch pad, which caused the snap, towards Percy.
Slash landed in front of the small green pegasus, his claws digging into the earth and ready to attack. "U-uh oh!" Percy screamed as he dodged a claw slash, he remembered the wings on his side and stretched them out, allowing his newly found muscles to become active. Slash jumped again aiming for little Percy's little neck, Percy smirked as he jumped above the Timberwolf his wings beating against the air keeping him aloft. Slash tried to swipe the little pegasus' wings off but to no avail, Percy gave Slash a raspberry as he slowly made his way towards the light. "Later jerk!" Percy mocked as he finally made it towards the light.
Percy looked at the small village in front of him, it was full of ponies, he landed and started to walk towards it. He noticed most of the ponies a strange marking on their behinds, he looked at his and found a envelope in a mail bag for his marking. "Must have something to do with tier jobs." He thought as he walked through the town, looking for any kind of clues to find his friend.
