Sodor High School: Chapter 18- An Early Release

Thomas was going bike riding with Percy and James near the town of Wellsworth.

Percy: It's nice to bike ride in this beautiful kind of day.

James: Pah, It's only nice around when you bring me out.

Thomas: Rubbish, James. Every day is a nice day when you can enjoy it with your friends.

Percy: He's right, James.

James: Hmph.

Thomas: Who wants to visit Lady in the hospital?

Percy: I do!

James: I guess I'll join.

Thomas: Great, we need to turn around.

The three turned around and headed through Wellsworth. They met Edward on the way there; he was at the station waiting for the train.

Thomas: Hey, Edward.

Edward: Hello, Thomas, Percy, and James. What brings you here, today?

Percy: We're going to visit Lady at the hospital.

Edward: Do you mind I can come along?

Thomas: What about your train?

Edward: I was taking the train to the hospital, but that takes a long time.

Percy: You can ride in the basket of James's bike.

James: What? I will be better if he waits for his train.

Thomas: Come on, James.

James looked at his friends and backs his bike next to Edward.

James: Get in the basket.

Edward: Thanks, James.

James: Whatever.

Thomas: Let's go, guys.

The four rode off to the hospital. James found it harder to go on since Edward keeps complaining he's going to fast down the road.

Edward: Slow down, I feel like I'm about to be thrown off.

James: Alright, I'll slow down!

James slowed down and noticed Thomas and Percy were ahead of him.

James: Grr.

He got furious and decided not to listen to Edward. Instead, he started to pick up more speed. Edward held on for dear life, he didn't like the feeling.

Edward: James, slow down!

James didn't answer back instead he gained more speed and end up passing Thomas and Percy.

Percy: Was that James?

Thomas: I think so.

Edward's eyes widen when he saw a sharp turn.

Edward: James! Stop now!

James looked ahead and gasped. He quickly tried to break, but his brakes wouldn't work.

James: We're going to crash!

Edward tried to help him to slow down but it was no use. Thomas thundered behind them and attached a rope at the end of James's bike lamp. Thomas used his brakes but he couldn't stop, it was too much weight against them. Percy decided to help and tied a rope to the back of Thomas's bike. He braked and they started to go slowly.

Percy: I think I did it.

Thomas: Good job, Percy!

Edward: You're a life saver!

James: Yes. Thanks a lot, Percy.

Percy smiled. Percy tugged James and Edward all the way to the hospital. Thomas went up to the nurse's counter.

Thomas: Excuse me; do you have Lady Stone here?

Nurse: She had checked out 3 hours ago.

Thomas/Edward/James/Percy: What?!

Nurse: Well, she disappeared out of her room.

Thomas: Oh no.

James: I knew it. We came out here for nothing.

Percy: That doesn't sound like her. Why she would disappear without a trace?

Edward: Percy is right. Lady would never disappear out of a hospital.

James: Maybe she healed herself.

Thomas: That's impossible. It's dark energy that surrounded her.

Edward: Dark energy, you say?

Thomas: Yeah, why?

Edward: Maybe she had been possessed by the exposure of dark energy.

Thomas: Could be.

Percy: Let's get back to home. It's getting late.

James: Finally, I was already about to sleep.

The three waved goodbye to Edward as his father picked him up from the hospital. Thomas couldn't help to think that Lady may be possessed.

Thomas (thinking): I hope she wouldn't forget about us.

At Diesel 10's lair, the claw armed man was sitting back in his chair.

Diesel 10: Man, I need to get hold of that Lady.

Splatter: Boss…

Dodge: You have a visitor.

Diesel 10: Who is it then?

Laura: It's Laura, Swindon.

Diesel 10: It can't be. You had been killed by Lady.

Laura: I had. But, I had been resurrected by her. She had vivid nightmare about me from the dark energy oozed out of your lair. I took the form of Lady and I'm planning to manipulate those brats at Sodor High into helping me with my diabolical plan to rule Sodor!

Diesel 10: I like your idea. Care for me to join along?

Laura: It is extreme, but a mastermind likes you. Will give me a higher advantage in ruling Sodor and your minions as well.

Diesel 10: Great, we can overthrow the Earl of Sodor and Mayor.

Laura: Let's start planning.

Laura grinned and her eyes had flashed with bright purple.
