Chapter 10: Bye-Bye Gargamel
Here's what we puff and smurf off last time. Nosey was up to his old habit again, snooping around on the other Smurfs', and as well as the Engines', business. But then, he barged into one of the biggest businesses ever; he overheard Grouchy's and James' secrets! And at the village, there was a lot of drama going on! The other Smurfs now knows Grouchy's secret, and Emily knows James' as well! And at first, everyone thought that Brainy, Jokey, and Percy had let out the secrets. And ever since their secrets were revealed, Grouchy and James decided to runaway to avoid their terrible situations. And when the other Smurfs and the other Engines found out the next day, they were deeply saddened. But Papa Smurf fixed the problem by telling his little Smurfs about why Grouchy had a change of heart. And after hearing the whole story, Nosey's guiltiness grew rapidly and confess to everyone that he was the one who blurt out Grouchy's and James' secrets. And while running away, Grouchy and James were enjoying themselves steadily. But then, the two special friends grew homesick and decided to return back to the village. But during their journey, the two special friends ended up in a sticky situation. But at last, Grouchy and James were found by Papa and Vanity. And Vanity explained everything to his partners on who really blurt out their secrets. And after getting rescued, Grouchy and James had return to the village safe and sound. And at the end, Nosey ended up getting punished for what he had done. But meanwhile, Gargamel had a plan to capture the Smurfs and getting the Steam Team out of his way. And he was really determined that his plan will be a success.(Once again, yeah right!) So let's find out what happens when the Smurfs and the Steam Team met up with Gargamel again, and keep calm.
It was yet another fine and pleasant day at King Gerard's kingdom. And the sun was shining bright and spreading its rays across the kingdom.
At the Smurf village, the Smurfs and the Steam Team were having a splendid time doing some fun stuff. And some of them were going to have some even more fun.
Emily and Sassette were at Smurfette's house waiting for her. And so were the other Smurflings.
/Nat\: "Emily, is Smurfette ready yet?"
/Emily\: "No Nat."
/Snappy\: "Ohhhh, what's smurfing her so long?!"
/Emily\: "She wouldn't say."
/Sassette\: "Fussing ferrets, what is she smurfing in there?"
/Slouchy\: "Probably she's smurfing on some make-up. All girls smurf that."
/Nat\: "Maybe."
/Snappy\: "Emily, have you ever wanted some make-up on you?"
/Emily\: "Why no, Snappy. And I'm not obsessed with how I look, I'm happy just the way I am."
/Snappy\: "Well, smurfy for you."
/Emily\: "But, it's not "smurfy" for Daisy. She loves to wear make-up."
/Sassette\: "Hmph, too bad for her."
/Emily\: "You're telling me."
Just then, the door opened. And Smurfette stepped outside.
/Smurfette\: "Sorry for smurfing you all waiting."
/Snappy\: "At least it's about time!"
/Emily\: "What were you doing, Smurfette?"
/Smurfette\: "I was having trouble on which dress I want to smurf."
/Emily\: "But, your dresses look exactly the same!"
/Smurfette\: "I know they are, but I want to smurf a dress that really smurfs to me."
/The Smurfling\: "/Moaning\"
/Emily\: "Sometimes I just don't get you, Smurfette."
/Smurfette\: "/SCOFF\ So, is everysmurf ready?"
/The Smurfling\: "Yes."
/Emily\: "I'm ready."
/Smurfette\: "Smurfy, let's get Puppy and go."
Just then, James, Grouchy, and Vanity came by.
/James, Grouchy, & Vanity\: "Hello, all!"
/Emily, Smurfette, & the Smurflings\: "Hello, you three!"
/Vanity\: "Where you all are off to?"
/Sassette\: "We're off to the forest."
/Nat\: "And we're taking Puppy with us."
/James\: "Oh. That's nice."
/Slouchy\: "Where you three are off to?"
/Grouchy\: "We're smurfing out to smurf some more time together."
/Emily\: "Oh. That's splendid."
/Snappy\: "Well, have a smurfy day."
/James\: "You too."
/Vanity\: "But watch out for Gargamel while you're out at the forest."
/Smurfette\: "We will."
/James, Grouchy, & Vanity\: "Later."
/Emily, Smurfette, & the Smurflings\: "Later."
And with two toots, "/PEEP! PEEP!\" James puffed magically away with his Smurf partners aboard.
And Emily, Smurfette, and the Smurflings all set off to start their day.
After picking up Puppy, Emily, Smurfette, and the Smurflings were on their way towards the forest. And they were enjoying their day enormously.
/Snappy\: "/INHALE, EXHALE\ What a smurfy day!"
/Slouchy\: "It sure is."
/Nat\: "Very smurfy indeed. Isn't that right, Puppy?"
/Puppy\: "BARK! BARK!"
/Sassette\: "A smurfy day to go out to the forest and play."
/Smurfette\: "And there's nothing up in the sky but the sun."
/Emily\: "Not a cloud in sight. This day is just perfect."
At last, they arrived at the heart of the forest.
/Snappy\: "Finally, we're here!"
/Sassette\: "Come on, let's play!"
/Nat & Slouchy\: "Smurf-a-roo!"
/Puppy\: "/Barking\"
/Smurfette\: "Play nicely, you four!"
/Emily\: "And keep an eye out for Gargamel, he can be hiding anywhere!"
The Smurflings heard Emily's warning and they and Puppy began playing.
And Emily and Smurfette just stand still and kept an eye on them.
But Emily was worried.
/Emily\: "Smurfette?"
/Smurfette\: "Yes Emily?"
/Emily\: "What will we do if Gargamel appears? What happens when he catches you Smurfs? Ohh, what do I do when you and the others get captured?"
/Smurfette\: "Oh Emily, don't worry. I'm sure that you'll smurf something. But besides, we have Puppy to protect us, and of course, you."
/Emily\: "But I wasn't very helpful when Gargamel's cat chased after us."
/Smurfette\: "But you were helpful. You helped us to get away from that nasty cat."
/Emily\: "Yes. Until we came to a dead end."
/Smurfette\: "But luckily Henry came and saved us."
/Emily\: "Yes indeed."
/Smurfette\: "Yeah."
/Emily\: "Alright Smurfette, I know exactly what to do when Gargamel appears, and you can really count on me on that."
/Smurfette\: "That's the spirit, Emily. And you know that I will count on you."
Emily felt much better. And she and Smurfette went on enjoying their day keeping an eye on the Smurflings as the time passes by.
Meanwhile, a few miles away, Gargamel, along with Scruple and Azrael, were lurking around in the forest looking for the Smurfs. The two humans each have big sacks, enough to carry less than 55 Smurfs. And the evil wizard also has some magical supplies with him, including the magic piece of coal, for which he'll give it to one of the Engines without noticing. And Gargamel hoped that he will capture the Smurfs and get the Steam Team out of his way for sure.
/Scruple\: "Gargie, I hope you know what you're doing. And still, catching those Smurfs won't be easy now that they have those things to protect them."
/Gargamel\: "Oh, I have a little surprise for those horrid contraptions, and after that, catching those Smurfs will be easy!"
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ Yeah, easy enough to get away from you and making a fool out of yourself."
/Azrael\: "MEOW-MEOW-MEOW."
/Gargamel\: "Keep your eyes clear, you two! Those vile Smurfs could pop up anywhere!"
So the three baddies kept on looking for the Smurfs.
But suddenly, Gargamel heard a strange sound.
/Emily\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\"
/Gargamel\: "Stop, you two!"
/Scruple\: "What?"
/Azrael\: "MEOW?"
/Gargamel\: "Shh, listen!"
/Emily\: "/PEEP! PEEP! PEEP!\"
/Gargamel\: "Whatever is that noise?"
/Scruple\: "A bird?"
/Gargamel\: "No, a bird wouldn't make that kind of noise."
/Scruple\: "Then what is it?"
/Emily\: "/PEEEEP!\"
/Gargamel\: "Whatever it is, it sounds like it's coming from over there. Let's go."
So the three baddies set off to find where that noise was coming from.
/Emily\: "/Whistling\"
/Gargamel\: "Sounds like we're getting close!"
/Emily\: "/Whistling\"
/Scruple\: "I think it is bird."
/Gargamel\: "I told you, a bird wouldn't make that kind of noise!"
/Scruple\: "Well if it isn't a bird, so what is it then?"
/Emily\: "/Whistling\"
/Gargamel\: "Wait a minute! I think I know that noise!"
/Scruple\: "So what is it?"
/Emily\: "/Whistling\"
/Gargamel\: "I wonder? Can it possibly be?"
/Emily\: "/Whistling\"
/Scruple\: "Whatever it is, we're getting very close to it!"
/Emily\: "/Whistling\"
/Gargamel\: "That noise is coming from over there! So keep quiet, you two!"
/Scruple\: "Yeah, yeah."
/Azrael\: "MEOW-MEOW."
The three baddies slowly and quietly went to the spot where the noise was coming from. Up ahead, they can see some bushes in the way. Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael sneaked to the front of the bushes, and kept themselves well hidden. Then, as they peeked through, they saw what they were looking for! Over there, was Smurfette and the Smurflings! And along with them was Emily and Puppy.
/Puppy\: "/Barking\"
/Emily\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\"
Gargamel was delighted.
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ Aha, I knew it! And that noise wasn't a bird, it was from one of those meddling contraptions! Oh look, there are some Smurfs with it! But darn it, they brought their dog with them! Oh, no matter."
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ Well, we found them. So what's the next step?"
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ Why, getting this magic piece of coal to that contraption of course! But we need to stay hidden and quiet!"
/Azrael\: "/Speaking softly\ MEOW-MEOW-MEOW."
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ So do you have your slingshot?"
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ Yeah."
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ Excellent! Here, and be careful with it!"
Gargamel gave the magic piece of coal to Scruple.
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ Now, aim for its boxy thing!"
Scruple set his eyes on Emily. He has his target in range. And then, with a pull from the rubber sling, Scruple released the rubber sling, and the magic piece of coal shot through the air. But instead of landing in Emily's tender, it ended up landing in her cab. "/CLONK\"
But Emily heard that noise.
/Emily\: "What was that?"
Garagmel was upset.
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ You nitwit, you missed it!"
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ Sorry, Gargie."
Emily was puzzled.
/Emily\: "Smurfette?"
/Smurfette\: "What is it, Emily?"
/Emily\: "I just heard something from inside my cab. Can you go see what it is?"
/Smurfette\: "Of course."
Smurfette went back to Emily's cab. As she peeked inside, she looked all around. But then, she notice something. There near Emily's firebox, was a piece of coal.
/Smurfette\: "Oh Emily, what you just smurfed was a piece of coal smurfing out of your tender."
/Emily\: "Oh. Alright, thank you for checking, Smurfette."
/Smurfette\: "My pleasure."
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ Hey Gargie, look! I think one of the Smurfs is going inside that thing!"
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ Really?! Then let's hope that they will get the bait!"
Smurfette knows what she had to do.
/Smurfette\: "And since it's near Emily's firebox, I might as well smurf it in there."
Smurfette went inside of Emily's cab.
When Gargamel saw that, he was delighted.
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ Yes, they got in! Now, let's wait."
Smurfette picked up the piece of coal, and she threw it inside Emily's firebox.
/Smurfette\: "There, that's better."
Smurfette got out of Emily's cab. But little that she didn't know, that the piece of coal, has magic in it.
As the magic piece of coal was engulfed in the fire, it began to get burned. Then suddenly, it was making some funny noises. "/Sound of snapping, crackling, and popping\"
Emily felt something.
/Emily\: "Oh my, what a funny feeling."
As the piece of coal was completely burned, the magic was released, and went through Emily's boiler. And then, the magic ended up in Emily's smoke-box.
/Emily\: "Oh, whatever it is, it's gone now."
But Emily didn't know that Gargamel was using her as bait to get to the Smurf village.
Gargamel was impatient.
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ Come on, come on! Go back to the village, you fools!"
So Gargamel went on waiting. He waited… and waited… and waited. Until then, Gargamel felt sleepy and fell asleep.
Scruple and Azrael fell asleep as well.
Just then, Emily blew her whistle.
/Emily\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\"
It woke up the three baddies.
/Smurfette\: "/Shouting\ Ok Smurflings, that's enough for today!"
/Emily\: "/Shouting\ Yes, it's time to go back to the village for lunchtime!"
/The Smurflings\: "/Shouting\ Ok!"
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ You hear that?! They're going back to the village! Now's our chance! Get ready, you two!"
/Scruple\: "/SIGH\"
/Azrael\: "/SIGH\"
/Sassette\: "Emily, is it ok that I smurf back to the village on Puppy?"
/Emily\: "Of course, Sassette. Go on."
/Sassette\: "Smurfy, thank you."
So the Smurflings boarded Puppy, while Smurfette boarded Emily. And all together, they went off back towards the village.
As Emily was chuffing, smoke came out of her funnel. And as the smoke came up in midair, it didn't evaporate. But even though, the Smurflings, Smurfette, and Emily didn't notice it.
When Gargamel saw that, he was deeply delighted.
/Gargamel\: "It works! My creation really works!"
/Scruple\: "/Sarcastically\ Yippee."
/Azrael\: "/SIGH\"
/Gargamel\: "And now, as we follow the trail of smoke, it'll lead us straight to the village! And once we get there, I'll finally catch those hideous Smurfs! /Cackling\ But first, I'll deal with those meddling contraptions that they call themselves "protectors"!"
/Scruple\: "So what are you going to do with those things?"
/Gargamel\: "I TOLD YOU TO WAIT AND SEE, YOU IDIOT!"
/Scruple\: "Alright, alright!"
/Gargamel\: "Now let's go!"
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ Ooh, sometimes that Gargie really ticks me off!"
/Azrael\: "MEOW!"
So the three baddies followed Emily's smoke trail.
Up ahead, the Smurflings, Smurfette, Emily, and Puppy were still on their way back to the village. And they were still enjoying themselves enormously.
/Emily\: "You know what, Smurfette?"
/Smurfette\: "What Emily?"
/Emily\: "We're very lucky that Gargamel didn't show up!"
/Smurfette\: "Yeah, I know!"
/Emily\: "So this is indeed a trouble-free day!"
/Smurfette\: "It sure is, Emily! It sure is!"
And the two partners went on enjoying themselves. But even though, they and the Smurflings still didn't notice that the smoke that came out of Emily's funnel didn't evaporate in midair. And they all didn't know that Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael were following on their trail!
/Gargamel\: "/Cackling\ I can't wait to get those Smurfs into my stew pot! And I'll use some of them to make my gold!"
/Scruple\: "And then you'll be filthy, stinkin' rich. Hur-ray."
/Gargamel\: "But don't you see?! Once I'll be rich, I'll be getting a new castle! And also, I'll hired a teacher to help you become a powerful wizard!"
/Scruple\: "Really, Gargie?!"
/Gargamel\: "Oh, yes."
/Scruple\: "Alright!"
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ Yes, once you become a powerful wizard, you'll finally be out of my hair."
And the three baddies continued on following Emily's smoke trail.
At the village, things were looking fine and pleasant. Some of the Smurfs were busy doing some things, while others were having some free-time. And some of the Engines were having a splendid time spending the day with their Smurf partners.
At Greedy's house, Nanny was helping the chef and eating-loving Smurf prepare for lunch.
Grandpa was watching over Baby Smurf at his house.
And Papa was at his house doing some research.
All in all, everything was just fine. But not for long.
At last, the Smurflings, Smurfette, Emily, and Puppy arrived at the village.
The non-numbered engine let out some toots so everyone could hear her coming.
/Emily\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\"
When everyone heard Emily's whistle, some of them could see the five Smurfs, Emily, and Puppy coming in.
They greeted each other warmly as the Smurflings, Smurfette, Emily, and Puppy passed by.
/Miner\: "Hello, you six!"
/The Smurflings, Smurfette, & Emily\: "Hello Miner!"
/Latino\: "Hola Smurflings, hola Smurfette, hola Emily!"
/Emily\: "Hola to you too, Latino!"
/The Smurflings & Smurfette\: "Hello Latino!"
/Painter\: "Bonjour Smurflings, bonjour Smurfette, bonjour Mademoiselle Emily!"
/Emily\: "Bonjour Painter!"
/The Smurflings & Smurfette\: "Hello Painter!"
/Christopher & Marco\: "Hello, all!"
/The Smurflings, Smurfette, & Emily\: "Hello Christopher, hello Marco!"
Meanwhile, Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael were still following Emily's smoke trail. But as they got closer, the horrid wizard found what he was looking for!
/Gargamel\: "/GASP\ There it is, the Smurf village, I finally found it!"
/Scruple\: "Good for you, Gargie."
/Azrael\: "MEOW-MEOW-MEOW."
/Gargamel\: "/Cackling\ I got those Smurfs right where I want them. But first, to get those meddling contraptions out of my way. Here, take these."
Gargamel gave Scruple some strange tiny balls.
/Scruple\: "What are these?"
/Gargamel\: "Oh, just something for those meddling contraptions, and when one of them try to stop us, throw it at them."
/Scruple\: "Ok Gargie."
/Gargamel\: "Now, time to catch those blue pests! Get ready, you two!"
Back at the village, the Smurflings, Smurfette, and Emily were taking Puppy back to his doghouse. And the emerald mid-size tender engine was still leaving a trail of smoke that didn't evaporate.
And finally, one of the Smurfs notice it.
/Wooly\: "Hmm. That's strange. The smoke from Emily didn't esmurfporate."
In fact, some of the other Smurfs also noticed it. And they were all very puzzled.
At last, the Smurflings, Smurfette, and Emily arrived at Puppy's doghouse.
The Smurflings got off of Puppy.
/Snappy\: "Here you go, Puppy."
/Nat\: "Now you can take a smurfy rest."
/Puppy\: "BARK! BARK!"
/Slouchy\: "That's a good puppy."
/Sassette\: "We'll smurf you later, Puppy."
/Smurfette\: "Yes, smurf you later, Puppy."
/Emily\: "Goodbye Puppy."
/Puppy\: "ROFF!"
As the Smurflings, Smurfette, and Emily were about to walk and chuff away, one of the Smurfs came up to them shouting.
/Sweepy\: "/Shouting\ "Emily, Emily, Emily!"
/Smurfette\: "Whoa, Sweepy!"
/Emily\: "What's wrong, Sweepy?"
/Sweepy\: "Emily, there's something that you just got to smurf!"
/Emily\: "What is it?"
/Sweepy\: "Look!"
Emily looked up. And as she saw it, she was surprised.
Even Smurfette and the Smurflings were surprised.
They all could see the smoke from Emily didn't evaporate in midair.
/Emily\: "Strange, my smoke is still up in the air."
/Sassette\: "Puzzling parrots, that is strange."
/Smurfette\: "But, how can this be?"
Then Emily had a thought.
/Emily\: "I wonder it has something to do with that strange feeling that I had earlier?"
/Smurfette\: "What strange feeling?"
/Emily\: "The strange feeling that I had while we were in the forest."
/Smurfette\: "What, why didn't you smurf me that before?!"
/Emily\: "I thought it wasn't important!"
/Snappy, Slouchy, & Nat\: "Ohh, Emily!"
Emily felt very silly.
Just then, Wooly came up.
/Wooly\: "Emily, did you smurf what I smurf?"
/Emily\: "Yes Wooly, my smoke didn't evaporate."
/Wooly\: "Not only that, hombrette, you smurf a trail of it too."
/Emily\: "What?!"
/Wooly\: "Smurf for yourself."
Wooly pointed to the trail.
Then Emily, Smurfette, and the Smurflings followed it. Sweepy and Wooly followed along as well. And they all kept on following it, until they got to one of the entrances.
Emily was even more surprised.
/Emily\: "Oh dear, I did leave a trail of my smoke!"
/Smurfette\: "And this is getting stranger by the smurf!"
/Sassette\: "Oh, smurf!"
/Snappy\: "I think somesmurf must've smurf a trick on you, Emily."
/Slouchy\: "Or maybe a spell."
/Nat\: "Who the hickory-nut would do such a thing like that?"
/Gargamel\: "WHY, THAT WOULD BE ME!"
Suddenly, Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael jumped out of their hiding places!
/Gargamel\: "SURPRISE!"
/Some Smurfs\: "GARGAMEL!"
/Some other Smurfs\: "GARGAMEL?!"
/Thomas\: "CINDERS AND ASHES!"
/The Engines minus James & Emily\: "BUST OUR BUFFERS!"
/Emily\: "Oh no, he found the village! RUN FOR IT, SMURFS!"
The Smurfs quickly make a run for it.
The Engines were raged with anger.
/Thomas\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\ /Shouting\ Come on, my friends! Let's get Gargamel out of the village!"
/The Engines minus James & Emily\: "/Shouting\ Right!"
And they all charged to the three baddies.
/Emily\: "GET OUT OF THE VILLAGE NOW, GARGAMEL!"
/Gargamel\: "But I just got here, and this game is really getting started!"
/Emily\: "OOOH, YOU HORRID WIZARD!"
And Emily charged to Gargamel.
/Gargamel\: "Ohh, why don't you have a ball!"
Gargamel took out some tiny balls, and he threw one at Emily.
As Emily was going to charge at Gargamel, the tiny ball went on to her cab roof. Then the tiny ball exploded and liquid goo came out of it.
Emily came to a halt and was very disgusted.
/Emily\: "UCGH! What is that stuff?! You silly wizard, think you can stop me with a ball of icky goo?!"
/Gargamel\: "Why yes I can, and I think you better look again, you foolish contraption!"
Emily looked back and she saw something that made her shockingly surprised. She could see that she was turning solid as a rock!
/Emily\: "What's happening to me?! I'm… I'm…"
/Gargamel\: "Getting petrified! /Cackling\"
/Emily\: "I can't move, I can't whistle, and… I… can't…"
As Emily couldn't say another word, she was completely and magically petrified.
Scruple was deeply amazed.
/Scruple\: "OHH, so that's the surprise! Petrification!"
/Gargamel\: "That's right, my boy! And that'll get those meddling contraptions out of my way!"
/Smurfette\: "OH NO!"
/Sassette\: "EMILY!"
/Gargamel\: "READY OR NOT, HERE I COME!"
And the three baddies charged themselves through the village.
Just then, one of the Engines were charging to Gargamel.
/Thomas\: "GET OUT NOW, GARGAMEL!"
/Gargamel\: "Scruple, if you please."
/Scruple\: "With pleasure, Gargie!"
Scruple took out a tiny ball, and then he threw it at Thomas.
/Thomas\: "EWW! What is this green slop?!"
Suddenly, Thomas came to a halt. And then he looked at himself and was shocked.
/Thomas\: "What's happening to me?! I can't move, and I can't blow my whistle! Someone… help… me!"
Thomas was completely and magically petrified also.
/Scruple\: "Now this is what I call "fun"!"
/Dreamy & Snappy\: "THOMAS!"
Just then, Percy and Toby came. But when they saw Thomas, they were deeply shocked.
/Percy\: "Thomas?!"
/Toby\: "What happen to him?!"
/Gargamel\: "You two are next!"
/Percy & Toby\: "GARGAMEL!"
Gargamel took out two tiny balls, and he threw them at Percy and Toby.
/Percy & Toby\: "NOOOOO!"
The two Engines tried to get away, but it was too late. The two tiny balls got them. And they could see that they were getting petrified.
/Toby\: "PER-CY!"
/Percy\: "TO-BY!"
Percy and Toby was completely and magically petrified as well.
/Harmony & Jokey\: "PERCY!"
/Farmer & Slouchy\: "TOBY!"
/Gargamel\: "/Cackling\ I'm having so much fun that I can't stop it!"
/Henry\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\"
/Gordon\: "/POOP! POOP! POOP!\"
Gargamel turned and he could see Henry and Gordon charging straight towards him.
/Henry & Gordon\: "CHARGE!"
/Gargamel\: "Oh no, you two don't!"
Gargamel took out two more tiny balls, and he threw them at Henry and Gordon.
/Henry\: "OH YUCGH!"
/Gordon\: "What is this goo?!"
The two big engines came to a halt and they looked at themselves, and they could see the petrification began to form.
/Henry\: "What's happening to us?! We can't move!"
/Gordon\: "OH, THE INDIGNITY!"
/Henry\: "GOR-DON!"
/Gordon\: "HEN-RY!"
/Nat & Tracker\: "HENRY!"
/Hefty & Tuffy\: "GORDON!"
The four Smurfs watched as their Engine partners went completely solid as a couple of rocks.
Just then, Edward came. And when he saw his petrified friends, he was shocked.
/Edward\: "My friends! What happen to them?!"
Scruple spotted Edward.
/Scruple\: "Gargie, over there!"
/Edward\: "/GASP\"
/Gargamel\: "/Cackling\"
/Edward\: "RUNAWAY!"
Edward quickly reverse back.
/Gargamel\: "Where do you think you're going?!"
Gargamel took out another tiny ball, and he threw it at Edward.
/Edward\: "NO! NO!"
But it was too late. The tiny ball hit Edward.
/Edward\: "OH, YUCK!"
Edward came to a halt. And he could see the petrification began to form.
/Edward\: "Oh no, I can't move! Someone help me! I… can't…!"
/Handy\: "NO!"
/Willing\: "EDWARD!"
The two Smurfs watched as Edward went completely solid as a rock.
/Gargamel\: "/Cackling\ Now there's no one to protect you, Smurfs!"
/Some Smurfs\: "SMURFAWAY!"
/Gargamel\: "Come on, Scruple, let's get them!"
/Scruple\: "I'm on it, Gargie!"
/Gargamel\: "Azrael, don't let them get away!"
/Azrael\: "/Snarling\"
The three baddies went after the Smurfs. And wouldn't you know it, they captured every one of them!
When Puppy and Feathers saw that, they were raged with anger and they charged themselves to the three baddies.
/Puppy\: "/Barking ferociously\"
/Feathers\: "SQUAWK!"
When Scruple saw them, he was alarmed.
/Scruple\: "Uh oh, Gargie, we forgot about the dog and the bird!"
/Gargamel\: "Don't worry, I'll stop them also!"
Gargamel took out two more tiny balls.
/Gargamel\: "Take this, you annoying pests!"
The evil wizard threw one tiny ball at Puppy. The ball hit him.
And then, Puppy went completely and magically petrified.
Next, Gargamel threw the another tiny ball at Feathers. The ball hit her.
And then, Feathers went completely and magically petrified also.
/Gargamel\: "There! Now back to catching those Smurfs!"
Gargamel and Scruple went on catching the Smurfs. They caught every one of them.
Just then, Scruple heard something.
/Baby Smurf\: "/Wailing\"
It was Baby Smurf. He was all alone with no one around.
Scruple saw the chance to catch him.
/Scruple\: "Oh look, it's the tiny one. I'll add him to the sack too!"
/Baby Smurf\: "/Wailing\"
But just as Scruple was about to get his hands on Baby Smurf, somebody ambushed him.
/Wild\: "SMOO-WAH!"
/Smoogle\: "SMOO-GLE!"
It was Wild and Smoogle. They were trying to get the naughty boy away from the infant Smurfling.
/Scruple\: "Hey, get off of me!"
Scruple struggled to get the lost-but-found Smurf and little marsupial off of him.
But the two had an idea. They went on top of Scruple's hat, and then they jumped and pulled down the hat to cover the nasty boy's head.
/Scruple\: "Hey, I can't see!"
After that, Wild went up to Baby Smurf and grabbed him. And they and Smoogle quickly dashed away into the forest.
But then, Scruple managed to uncover his head from his hat. And he was furious.
/Scruple\: "Oh drat, they got away!"
/Gargamel\: "Who got away?!"
/Scruple\: "Some two Smurfs and a fuzzy thing ambushed me! I tried to get them, but they outsmarted me!"
/Gargamel\: "D'OHHHH, you stupid child! Oh well, it doesn't matter! We got two sacks full of Smurfs! But even though, I'm getting the feeling that we missed some other Smurfs, but who?"
Just then, Gargamel heard something.
/Papa\: "Hello! My little Smurfs!"
/Gargamel\: "Oooh, and I know who it is! /Cackling\"
Papa had just stepped out of his house, and he could see that no one was around.
/Papa\: "Hmm, that's strange. Where is everysmurf?"
Then the leader Smurf heard somebody shouting to him.
/Greedy, Nanny, & Grandpa\: "/Shouting\ Papa Smurf, Papa Smurf!"
It was Greedy, Nanny, and Grandpa. And they looked very puzzled. The three Smurfs came up to Papa.
/Papa\: "Why Greedy, Nanny, Grandpa, what is it?"
/Greedy\: "The strangest thing just happened today."
/Nanny\: "We called the other Smurfs to come for lunch, but none of them came!"
/Grandpa\: "And after I went inside my house to take care of something, I came out to see Baby Smurf missing!"
/Papa\: "Great Smurfs, those are very strange! Where could everysmurf be?!"
/Gargamel\: "WHY, THEY'RE WITH ME!"
The four Smurfs turned. And there by some mushroom houses, was Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael.
/Papa, Grandpa, Nanny, & Greedy\: "GARGAMEL!"
/Gargamel\: "And you four are next! /Cackling\"
/Papa\: "How did he find the village?!"
/Greedy\: "And where are the Engines?!"
/Gargamel\: "If you're wondering where your protectors are, I petrified them!"
/Papa, Grandpa, Nanny, & Greedy\: "WHAT?!"
/Gargamel\: "Now there's no one to protect you, Smurfs!"
/Greedy\: "Now what do we smurf, Papa Smurf?!"
/Papa\: "I guess we have no choice but to… RUN!"
And the four Smurfs scattered about.
/Gargamel\: "Scruple, Azrael, get them!"
So Scruple and Azrael did as Gargamel told them.
While running about, the four Smurfs were trying to get away from the three baddies.
/Papa\: "Quick, into the forest!"
But just as they were about to exit out of the village, Scruple appeared.
/Scruple\: "Going somewhere, Smurfs?!"
The four Smurfs were shockingly surprised.
/Papa\: "Other way, other way!"
The four Smurfs avoided Scruple and they went to the other direction. But as they were trying to escape again, Azrael appeared.
/Azrael\: "/Snarling\"
/Papa\: "Turn back, turn back!"
The four Smurfs avoided Azrael. But even though, after turning back to the other direction, Scruple appeared once again and he caught the four Smurfs.
/Scruple\: "Gotcha! Now you're doomed!"
/Azrael\: "MEOW-MEOW."
Then both Scruple and Azrael all headed back to Gargamel.
And when Gargamel saw them coming, he was delighted.
/Gargamel\: "Well done, my boy! Put them in here!"
As Scruple came to Gargamel, he tossed the four Smurfs in one of the sacks.
/Gargamel\: "/Cackling\ And now with two full sacks of Smurfs, I can finally do my evil doings to them!"
/Scruple\: "And we can finally get what we want too right, Gargie?!"
/Gargamel\: "That's right, my boy! Now, before we go back to the hovel, I want to see if we had all of those meddling contraptions."
/Scruple\: "But do you really had them all?"
/Gargamel\: "Well I do remember is that there are three blue ones, three green ones, a brown one, and… OH, DARN IT! We didn't get that red one!"
/Scruple\: "Uh oh!"
/Gargamel\: "Ohh, no matter. Once he sees his friends all petrified and the Smurfs all gone, he'll be the only one left and dearly will try to save the Smurfs! And when he comes to my hovel, that's where he will meet his doom! /Cackling\"
/Scruple\: "And that's where you had all eight of those things fully out of your hair."
/Gargamel\: "Yes. Now come, time to take these Smurfs to the hovel."
/Scruple\: "But Gargie, this sack is really heavy!"
/Gargamel\: "DON'T EVEN START WITH ME, YOU LAZY NUISANCE! You need to build up your strength, and you need the exercise! Now come on!"
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ Hmph! Once I get what I want, I'll soon be away from that cranky stone-heart."
And so, with two sacks full of Smurfs, the three baddies all headed back to the horrid wizard's hovel, leaving the village complete empty but with nine friends fully petrified. But even though, Gargamel knows that there was still one Engine left and two Smurfs left, he didn't know that there was also two more Smurfs left. But, the evil wizard knows exactly what he will do to the remaining friends. And when the three partners sees all the things that the three baddies had done, they will be very devastated. But, a miracle will soon happen, and the three partners will find a way and do everything they can to rescue the other Smurfs from Gargamel's evil clutches before it was too late.
Meanwhile, in the forest, James, along with his Smurf partners Grouchy and Vanity, were on their way back to the village. They had the most wonderful time spending some time together. And they were still enjoying themselves enormously.
While on their way towards the village, the three friends found a way to entertain themselves, and that was by singing some songs. And they were doing that by singing James' all-time favorite song.
/Grouchy\: "/Singing\ SMURFING DOWN THE LINE LIKE SMURFING SMURF."
/James\: "/Singing\ MAKE WAY FOR ME, HOORAY FOR ME."
/Vanity\: "/Singing\ HANG ON TO YOUR HAT, AS HE SMURFSES PAST."
/James\: "/Singing\ MAKE WAY FOR ME, HOORAY FOR ME."
/Vanity\: "/Singing\ HE REALLY KNOWS HOW TO SMURF A SHOW."
/Grouchy\: "/Singing\ YOU GOTTA SMURF BACK AND WATCH HIM GO."
/James\: "/Singing\ I'M THE REALLY SPLENDID ENGINE WITH THE BRIGHT RED COAT."
/Grouchy\: "/Singing\ LOOK WHO'S SMURFING IT, DOWN THE TRACK."
/James\: "/Singing\ MAKE WAY FOR ME, HOORAY FOR ME."
/Vanity\: "/Singing\ HE NEVER LOOKS UP, HE NEVER LOOKS BACK."
/James\: "/Singing\ MAKE WAY FOR ME, HOORAY FOR ME."
/Vanity\: "/Singing\ A TAD CONCEITED, AND REALLY QUITE VAIN."
/Grouchy\: "/Singing\ HE KNOWS WE LOVE HIM, JUST THE SAME."
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "/Singing\ TAKE A LOOK WHO'S SMURFING, DOWN THE TRACK."
/James\: "/Singing\ MAKE WAY FOR ME, HOORAY FOR ME."
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "/Singing\ SHINY, SMURFY PAINT, WITH THE JET BLACK STACK."
/James\: "/Singing\ MAKE WAY FOR ME, HOORAY FOR ME."
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "/Singing\ HE'S THE REALLY SPLENDID ENGINE. THE SHINY, SHINY ENGINE. HE'S THE REALLY SMURFY ENGINE. THE SMURFY, SPLENDID ENGINE. HE'S THE SMURFY SPLENDID ENGINE. YEP – THAT'S OUR JAMES."
/James\: "THAT'S ME!"
At last, the three special friends arrived at the village. But as they enter, they notice something. Everything was quiet. And there was no one around. This made James, Grouchy, and Vanity looking very puzzled.
/James\: "That's strange. It's quiet."
/Grouchy\: "Too quiet."
/James\: "Where are my friends?"
/Vanity\: "And where are our fellow Smurfs?"
The three friends were getting more puzzled by the minute.
/James\: "/Shouting\ Hello?! Anyone around here?!"
/Grouchy\: "/Shouting\ Smurfette?!"
/Vanity\: "/Shouting\ Handy?!"
/Grouchy\: "/Shouting\ Hefty?!"
/Vanity\: "/Shouting\ Smurflings?!"
/James\: "/Shouting\ Thomas?! Edward?! Henry?! Gordon?! Percy?! Toby?! Emily?!"
But there was no reply.
James, Grouchy, and Vanity were getting even more puzzled.
The two Smurfs got off of James after he came to a halt.
Then James wondered off to find his friends.
/Grouchy\: "I don't understand. How could everysmurf just disappear like that?"
/Vanity\: "I wonder on that too, Grouchy. Or they should've smurfed us that they're going to leave the village for a while."
/Grouchy\: "Ohh. Now I'm getting worried, and I hate getting worried."
/Vanity\: "I know, Grouchy. I hate getting worried too."
And the two Smurfs felt lonesome.
Further in the village, James was still looking for the other Engines. And he began to feel worried also.
/James\: "I don't understand. How could my friends just left the village like that? They should've told me that they're going to be away for a while. And now, this is really making my wheels wobble."
And James went on looking for his friends.
Suddenly, the #5 engine didn't look on where he was going and bumped into something. "/BUMP!\"
/James\: "Oofah! What the Sodor…"
But then, James saw something that made him gasp.
/James\: "/GASP\ FLATTEN MY FUNNEL!"
Further back, Grouchy and Vanity were going mushroom house to mushroom house looking for their fellow Smurfs. And every time they looked, they end up having no luck.
/Grouchy\: "/Shouting\ There's no one in here! How about you, Vanity?!"
/Vanity\: "/Shouting\ No one in here either!"
Now the two Smurfs were getting even more worried.
/Grouchy\: "Ohh, where could everysmurf be?!"
Then suddenly, the two Smurfs heard James' whistle.
/James\: "/PEEEEEEP!\"
/Grouchy\: "/Shouting\ Oh, now what?!"
/Vanity\: "/Shouting\ Relax, Grouchy! Maybe James smurf something!"
/Grouchy\: "/Shouting\ Oh! Let's smurf then!"
The two Smurfs quickly run off to find James. When they got to him, they could see that James was in shock.
/Grouchy\: "James, what's wrong?!"
/James\: "T-T-T-T-T… THOMAS!"
As the two Smurfs looked at what James was looking, they were in shock also.
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "/GASP\"
There, right in front of them, was Thomas in a petrified form.
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "OH, SMURF!"
/James\: "What happen to him?!"
/Grouchy\: "I think he's been petrified!"
/James\: "What does that mean?!"
/Vanity\: "It means turning something into stone!"
/James\: "Stone?!"
/Vanity\: "Yes!"
James was devastated.
/James\: "Who could've done this to him?!"
/Grouchy\: "We wonder that too!"
Vanity ran up further to the village center. As he got there, he saw something that made him deeply shocked.
/Vanity\: "/Shouting\ James!"
/James\: "/Shouting\ What is it, Vanity?!"
/Vanity\: "/Shouting\ Thomas is not the only one who's been petrified!"
/James\: "/Shouting\ What?!"
Grouchy and James ran up to Vanity. As they got up to him, the friends saw something that made them deeply shocked. There, right before them, was the other Engines in their petrified forms.
/James\: "Oh no, not them too!"
James was deeply devastated and began to cry.
/James\: "/SNIFFLE\ My friends! Edward! Henry! Gordon! Percy! Toby! Emily! /SOBBING\"
/Grouchy\: "Who did this to them?!"
/Vanity\: "Probably the same person who did it to Thomas also! But who?!"
/Grouchy\: "I guess that's a mystery that we'll never solved!"
/Vanity\: "That and the missing Smurfs too!"
And the two Smurfs felt very heartbroken along with James.
But just then, the three special friends heard something.
/Wild\: "SMOO-WAH!"
And that made James stop crying.
/Grouchy\: "Did you two smurf that?!"
/Wild\: "SMOO-WAH!"
/Vanity\: "Why yes, we do!"
/James\: "Could it be who we think it is?!"
/Wild\: "SMOO-WAH!"
/Vanity\: "/GASP\ It is!"
/Grouchy\: "It's Wild!"
/Baby Smurf\: "GAA! GAA!"
/Smoogle\: "SMOOGLE! SMOOGLE!"
/James\: "And Baby Smurf and Smoogle, they're alright!"
The three friends looked back. And there coming towards them, was indeed Wild, Baby Smurf, and Smoogle.
/Wild\: "/Shouting in gibberish talk\"
/Baby Smurf\: "/Shouting in baby talk\"
/Smoogle\: "SMOOGLE! SMOOGLE!"
The two Smurfs and the marsupial came up to James, Grouchy, and Vanity.
/James\: "Wild!"
/Grouchy\: "Baby!"
/Vanity\: "Smoogle!"
Wild handed Baby Smurf to Grouchy.
/Grouchy\: "Oh Baby, thank smurfness you're ok!"
/Baby Smurf\: "/Babbling\"
/Vanity\: "And thank smurfness you two are ok too!"
/Wild\: "/Talking in gibberish\"
/Smoogle\: "SMOOGLE-SMOOGLE! SMOOGLE-SMOOGLE!"
/Grouchy\: "Now, do any of you know what happen to our fellow Smurfs?"
/James\: "And who did this to my friends?"
Baby Smurf spoke up first.
/Baby Smurf\: "G… G… Gargamel!"
/James, Grouchy, & Vanity\: "GARGAMEL?!"
/Wild\: "Uh-huh, uh-huh!"
/Smoogle\: "Smoogle-Smoogle!"
Then suddenly, James was getting very cross and he was raged with anger!
/James\: "/Hissing steam\ /PEEEEEEP!\"
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "WHOA!"
/James\: "THAT DOES IT! THAT HORRID WIZARD HAS GONE TOO FAR!"
/Grouchy\: "But what can we do, James?!"
/Vanity\: "Yes, there's only us four Smurfs and one of you Engines! We don't smurf a chance against Gargamel!"
And deep down in his boiler, James knew that Vanity was right. But then, he had a thought.
/James\: "Wait a minute! I think there's a way to fix this!"
/Vanity\: "There is?!"
/Grouchy\: "What is it, James?!"
/James\: "I remember that Lady puff to us that once the eight of us entered this time period, we become magical Engines!"
/Vanity\: "Oh yeah!"
/Grouchy\: "I remember that too!"
/James\: "So I wonder if I can revive my friends back?"
/Grouchy\: "Can you, James?"
/James\: "Well, only one way to find out."
/Vanity\: "Then smurf it, James."
James reversed back to the petrified Thomas. As he got there, he went right behind him. And then, James went buffer to buffer to his petrified friend.
The four Smurfs and Smoogle were watching.
James closed his eyes, and he let out a chant.
/James\: "BY THE MAGIC AND POWER OF THE GOLD DUST, JAMES PUFFS, BRING THOMAS BACK TO LIFE! /PEEEEEEP!\"
Then suddenly, the magic rails from underneath James began to glow. And next, James began to glow.
Grouchy, Vanity, Wild, Baby Smurf, and Smoogle were surprised and amazed.
But then, everyone heard a sound. "/Sound of the petrification cracking\" The stony substance began to crack like an egg. And then, light began to peek out of the cracks.
James opened his eyes.
And the four Smurfs and Smoogle were still watching.
And suddenly, with a final crack, "/Sound of cracking\" the light glowed stronger and brighter, and it wiped off the petrification. And after the light stopped glowing, Thomas was magically back to his old self.
/Thomas\: "WHOA!"
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "Thomas!"
/Wild\: "Smoo-wah!"
/Baby Smurf\: "Gaa!"
/Smoogle\: "Smoogle-smoogle!"
And James was delightfully amazed and relieved.
/Thomas\: "Cinders and ashes! What happened?"
James went side by side to Thomas.
/James\: "Thomas!"
/Thomas\: "James!"
Then Thomas noticed the Smurfs.
/Thomas\: "Smurfs!"
And then, Thomas also noticed something.
/Thomas\: "So where are the other Smurfs?"
/James\: "Gargamel has them!"
/Thomas\: "Gargamel? Gar-ga-mel? /GASP\ Now I remember, Gargamel found the village!"
/James\: "And he kidnapped the other Smurfs!"
/Thomas\: "What?! Why that no-good horrid wizard! He's gone too far!"
/James\: "I know, I think so too!"
/Thomas\: "I also remember that Gargamel did something to me! But what was it?"
/James\: "He got you petrified!"
/Thomas\: "Petrified?! What's that?"
/James\: "It means turning something into stone!"
/Thomas\: "Really?"
/James\: "Yes!"
Now Thomas was getting very cross and was raged with anger.
/Thomas\: "There's no time to lose! We got to do something!"
/James\: "But wait, we got to revive the other Engines!"
/Thomas\: "What, Gargamel got them too?!"
/James\: "Yes, follow me!"
James chuffed up to the village center. And Thomas followed him. When they got there, James came to a halt.
/James\: "Look!"
When Thomas caught up to James, he couldn't believe his eyes.
/Thomas\: "/GASP\ Bubbling boilers!"
Thomas could see that the rest of the Engines had been petrified as well.
/Thomas\: "The other Engines, they've been… been…"
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "Petrified."
/Thomas\: "Yes, what you two said."
/James\: "But don't worry, Thomas. I found a way to bring them back to life!"
/Thomas\: "You do?! How?!"
/James\: "Watch this!"
James went up to the petrified Edward. After he got behind his petrified friend, he went buffer to buffer to him. And then, James closed his eyes, and he let out the same chant.
/James\: "BY THE MAGIC AND POWER OF THE GOLD DUST, JAMES PUFFS, BRING EDWARD BACK TO LIFE! /PEEEEEEP!\"
Thomas, Smoogle, and the four Smurfs just stand by and watched.
Then suddenly, the magic rails from underneath James began to glow. And next, James began to glow.
Thomas was surprised and amazed.
But then, everyone heard a sound. "/Sound of the petrification cracking\" The stony substance began to crack like an egg. And then, light began to peek out of the cracks.
James opened his eyes.
And Thomas was still watching.
And suddenly, with a final crack, "/Sound of cracking\" the light glowed stronger and brighter, and it wiped off the petrification. And after the light stopped glowing, Edward was magically back to his old self.
/Edward\: "OHH!"
Thomas was surprisingly amazed.
James felt relieved.
And so were the four Smurfs and Smoogle.
/Edward\: "Bouncing buffers!"
/Thomas\: "Edward!"
/Edward\: "Thomas? Smurfs?"
/James\: "Edward!"
/Edward\: "James!"
/James\: "Edward, do you remember what happened today?"
/Edward\: "Well, let me see… Oh, I do! Gargamel found the village!"
/Thomas\: "And he kidnapped the Smurfs! Well, all but these four!"
/Edward\: "Oh no, we got to do something!"
/James\: "I know! But we got to revive the other Engines first!"
/Edward\: "What?!"
Then, Edward saw something that made him shocked.
/Edward\: "Freeze my firebox!"
Edward could see that the other Engines had been petrified as well.
/Edward\: "I remember again, Gargamel did something to them!"
/James\: "We know, they've been petrified too!"
/Edward\: "Petri-what?!"
/James\: "Petrified!"
/Edward\: "What does that mean?"
/Thomas\: "It means turning something into stone!"
/Edward\: "Seriously?"
/Thomas\: "Yes!"
Now Edward was getting very cross and was raged with anger as well.
/Edward\: "That does it! Gargamel has gone too far!"
/Thomas\: "We know, we think so too!"
/James\: "Come on then! Let's revive the others! Thomas, I need you this time!"
/Thomas\: "Got it, James!"
Next, Thomas and James were reviving Henry and Gordon.
/James\: "Remember what to puff?"
/Thomas\: "Yes!"
And the two Engines let out their chant.
/Thomas & James\: "BY THE MAGIC AND POWER OF THE GOLD DUST…"
/James\: "JAMES PUFFS…"
/Thomas\: "THOMAS PUFFS…"
/James\: "BRING HENRY…"
/Thomas\: "BRING GORDON…"
/Thomas & James\: "BACK TO LIFE!"
/James\: "/PEEEEEEP!\"
/Thomas\: "/PEEEEEEP!\"
And in a flash, Henry and Gordon were magically back to their old selves.
/Henry\: "OHH!"
/Gordon\: "WHOA!"
Edward was surprisingly amazed.
Thomas and James were relieved.
And so were the four Smurfs and Smoogle.
/Henry\: "Pumping pistons!"
/Gordon\: "Fizzling fireboxes!"
/Henry\: "What just happened?"
/Gordon\: "And where are the Smurfs?"
/Edward\: "It's a long story, but we'll explain later."
The two big Engines were puzzled.
Then, Thomas and James were reviving Percy and Toby.
/Thomas & James\: "BY THE MAGIC AND POWER OF THE GOLD DUST…"
/Thomas\: "THOMAS PUFFS…"
/James\: "JAMES PUFFS…"
/Thomas\: "BRING PERCY…"
/James\: "BRING TOBY…"
/Thomas & James\: "BACK TO LIFE!"
/Thomas\: "/PEEEEEEP!\"
/James\: "/PEEEEEEP!\"
And in a flash, Percy and Toby were magically back to their old selves.
/Percy\: "WHOA!"
/Toby\: "OHH!"
Henry and Gordon were surprisingly amazed.
Thomas, Edward, and James were relieved.
And so were the four Smurfs and Smoogle.
/Percy\: "Rattling rods!"
/Toby\: "Wobbling wheels!"
/Percy\: "What's going on here?"
/Toby\: "And where are the Smurfs?"
/Edward\: "We'll explain on that later."
The two little Engines were puzzled.
And lastly, Thomas and James were reviving Emily.
/Thomas & James\: "BY THE MAGIC AND POWER OF THE GOLD DUST…"
/Thomas\: "THOMAS PUFFS…"
/James\: "JAMES PUFFS…"
/Thomas & James\: "BRING EMILY BACK TO LIFE!"
/Thomas\: "/PEEEEEEP!\"
/James\: "/PEEEEEEP!\"
And in a flash, Emily was magically back to her old self.
/Emily\: "WHOA!"
Percy and Toby were surprisingly amazed.
Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, and James were relieved.
And so were the four Smurfs and Smoogle.
/Emily\: "Funnels and fenders! What just happened here? And where are the Smurfs?"
/Edward\: "That we'll explain right now."
/Thomas\: "Everyone, to the village center!"
So the Steam Team, the four Smurfs, and Smoogle all went to the village center. While they got there, Thomas and James began explaining.
/Thomas\: "Listen, Gargamel has the Smurfs!"
/The Engines minus Thomas, Edward, & James\: "What?!"
/James\: "Well, all except Grouchy, Vanity, Wild, and Baby Smurf."
/Emily\: "And I remember, Gargamel found the village!"
/Percy\: "And I remember that he did something to us!"
/Henry\: "But what was it?"
/Thomas\: "You all had been petrified!"
/Gordon\: "Petrified?!"
/Toby\: "What does that mean?"
/Edward\: "It means turning something into stone."
/Gordon\: "Really?"
/Thomas & James\: "Yes."
Now the rest of the Steam Team were very cross and were raged with anger.
/Henry\: "/Hissing steam\ THAT DOES IT!"
/Gordon\: "THAT HORRID WIZARD HAS GONE TOO FAR!"
/Grouchy\: "We know!"
/Vanity\: "We smurf so too!"
/Thomas\: "And you know what?! I think that this is indeed the right time!"
/The Steam Team minus Thomas\: "Yes!"
/Vanity\: "The right time?"
/Grouchy\: "For what?"
/James\: "It's time that you Smurfs should do what the Fat Controller always do when things gone too far!"
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "And what is that?"
/The Steam Team\: "Send someone packing!"
And after hearing that, the four Smurfs were surprised.
/James\: "And that saying about what Papa Smurf always says, it's rubbish!"
/Thomas\: "Yes, we don't want to puff that saying "Papa Smurf always says that we should help Gargamel no matter how bad he is"!"
/Edward\: "That horrid wizard has been terrifying you Smurfs since you all first met him!"
/Emily\: "And right now, we really should send Gargamel away once and for all!"
/Percy\: "So you Smurfs could have the peace, harmony, and freedom that you should always have and need!"
/Toby\: "Freedom for the Smurfs!"
/The Steam Team\: "FREEDOM FOR THE SMURFS!"
And after hearing those things from the Steam Team, Grouchy and Vanity turned to each other. And then, they scrunched their eyes down, put on some frowns, and they nodded their heads up and down. The two Smurfs turned to the Steam Team.
/Grouchy\: "You know what, Engines?!"
/Vanity\: "We actually agree with you all!"
/Grouchy\: "No more terrors!"
/Vanity\: "No more horrors!
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "AND NO MORE GARGAMEL!"
/Wild\: "SMOO-WAH!"
/Baby Smurf\: "GAA!"
The Steam Team felt very pleased.
/The Steam Team\: "/Whistling/dinging in tribute\"
/Grouchy\: "And you're right, smurfing Gargamel away is the only way to have our peace, harmony and freedom back!"
/Vanity\: "And we think that saying that Papa Smurf always smurfs is rubbish too!"
/James\: "Now that's what I want to hear from the two of you!"
/Thomas\: "Now come on! We got to rescue the Smurfs before it's too late!"
/Henry\: "But we need to find a way to send Gargamel away!"
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "But how?"
/Emily\: "We need someone who has the power to send that horrid wizard away."
/Gordon\: "Yes, perhaps a friend to you Smurfs."
/Edward\: "Do you Smurfs have a friend that has the power to send Gargamel away?"
/Vanity\: "Why yes, we do have a friend who has the power to smurf Gargamel away!"
/Toby\: "Oh, good! Who?"
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "King Gerard!"
/Percy\: "Ooh, you have a friend who's a king? Smashing!"
/Grouchy\: "Yes, and he rule this part of his kingdom!"
/James\: "Splendid! We Engines go and rescue the Smurfs while you two go and get your friend!"
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "Right!"
/Thomas\: "Alright, let's go!"
/Grouchy\: "Wait! King Gerard's castle is a few smurfs away!"
/Vanity\: "Yeah, we need Feathers on that!"
/Henry\: "Speaking of Feathers, where is she?"
/Gordon\: "And where's Puppy?"
/Thomas\: "Come on then! Spread out and search for them!"
/James\: "And let's do it quickly!"
The four Smurfs and Smoogle boarded James.
And then, the Steam Team split up and went to search for Feathers and Puppy. They searched all around the village.
But until then…
/Henry\: "/GASP\"
Henry found them!
/Henry\: "Bust my buffers!"
And Henry let out a long toot from his whistle.
/Henry\: "/PEEEEEEEEEP!\"
The other Engines, the four Smurfs, and Smoogle heard Henry and they quickly chuffed off to him. When they got there, they saw what Henry sawed that made them shocked. There, right in front of them, was Feathers and Puppy in their petrified forms.
/Edward\: "Oh no!"
/James\: "Gargamel has got them petrified too!"
/Thomas\: "Oh, bother!"
/Gordon\: "Oh, the indignity!"
/Grouchy\: "Don't worry, we'll smurf that."
/Vanity\: "Yeah, Papa Smurf has a magic formula to cure petrified living things, it's in his lab."
/James\: "Alright, I'll take you there, and fast."
And James, with his Smurf partners on board, chuffed off quickly to Papa's house. When they got there, Grouchy had found the magic formula. And then, the #5 engine, with his Smurf partners aboard, chuffed off back to the others. As they got there, Grouchy used the magic formula on Feathers and Puppy. And in a flash, the two animals where brought back to life.
/Puppy\: "/Barking\"
/Feathers\: "SQUAWK!"
The Steam Team, the four Smurfs, and Smoogle were relieved.
/Grouchy\: "Feathers, we need you to smurf us to King Gerard's castle!"
/Vanity\: "And fast!"
/Feathers\: "SQUAWK!"
Grouchy and Vanity boarded Feathers. And Baby Smurf was going with them.
/James\: "Wait a minute!"
/Vanity\: "What is it?!"
/Thomas\: "We don't know where to find Gargamel!"
/Grouchy\: "Don't worry, Wild knows the way to Gargamel's hovel, he will lead you all there!"
/James\: "Alright!"
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "Good luck, Engines!"
/The Steam Team\: "You too, Smurfs!"
/Grouchy\: "Let's smurf, Feathers!"
/Feathers\: "SQUAWK!"
Feathers flapped her wings, took off towards the sky, and she, with the three Smurfs on board, flew off on her way to King Gerard's castle.
Wild, Smoogle, Puppy, and the Steam Team watched as they flew away.
/Thomas\: "Now, time for us to rescue the Smurfs!"
/The Steam Team minus Thomas\: "Right!"
/James\: "Wild, lead the way!"
/Wild\: "SMOO-WAH! /Pounding chest\ /Yelling like Tarzan\"
/Henry\: "Come on, Puppy! Come on, Smoogle! Let's roll!"
/Puppy\: "/Howling\"
/Smoogle\: "SMOO-GLE!"
/The Steam Team\: "CHARGE!"
And with that, the Steam Team, Wild, Smoogle, and Puppy all set off on their mission to rescue the Smurfs.
In the forest, the Steam Team, Smoogle and Puppy were following Wild to Gargamel's hovel. The evil wizard had captured all the Smurfs. Well, all except Grouchy, Vanity, Wild, and Baby Smurf. They were on a mission to rescue the Smurfs. They were really determined to get the Smurfs away from Gargamel's evil clutches before it was too late. And that's a mission that the Steam Team would not dare to fail.
Meanwhile, at the hovel, Gargamel was celebrating his victory of capturing the Smurfs. And he was very pleased that he finally accomplished his goal.
The Smurfs were kept in cages with 10 Smurfs each.
/Gargamel\: "Finally, at long last, I have my victory of capturing these miserable Smurfs! /Cackling in triumph\"
And that indeed made the Smurfs feeling very miserable.
/Gargamel\: "And with those meddling contraptions out of the way, I can finally do my evil doings on these blue pests and get what I always wanted!"
/Scruple\: "But what about me, Gargie? I can finally get what I always wanted too! Right?"
/Gargamel\: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, you will! NOW BE QUIET!"
/Scruple\: "Y-y-yes Sir!"
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ The sooner he gets out of my hair, the better."
/Azrael\: "MEOW-MEOW-MEOW."
/Gargamel\: "Now Smurfs, you all will soon meet your demise!"
/Scruple\: "But Gargie, not all of them. There are still two more Smurfs that we didn't caught yet!"
/Gargamel\: "Oh right, I forgot about those two!"
/Clumsy\: "Not only that, Gargamel, you missed two other ones too."
/The other Smurfs minus Grouchy, Vanity, Wild, & Baby Smurf\: "Clum-sy!"
/Clumsy\: "Oops, sorry."
/Gargamel\: "So there are four left that I missed?! Drat! But anyway, they will think of a plan to rescue the other Smurfs! And when they do, that's where I come in and catch them! /Cackling\"
/Scruple\: "And remember Gargie, you didn't got all of those smoky things, there's still that red one out there."
/Gargamel\: "That I know, and I will get that red contraption all petrified once he comes to rescue the Smurfs too."
/Azrael\: "ME-OW."
/Gargamel\: "Now then, get my stew pot ready while I get all things prepared."
/Scruple\: "Right away, Gargie."
So Scruple went off to get Gargamel's stew pot all started up, while Gargamel went off to get things all prepared.
The Smurfs were in a miserable situation.
/Sassette\: "Oh Pappy Smurf, what are we going to smurf?"
/Papa\: "I don't know, Sassette. I really don't know."
/Snappy\: "Well, our only hope is for James, Grouchy, Vanity, Wild, and Smoogle to rescue us now."
/Slouchy\: "And don't forgot about Baby Smurf, he has to smurf along with them."
/Nat\: "And when James smurfs that his friends were all petrified, he'll be heart-smurfen."
/Smurfette\: "/Sobbing\ Oh boo-hoo! What if they don't come in time to rescue us?"
/Papa\: "Then I'm afraid, my little Smurfs, we will soon meet our demise."
/Grandpa\: "Smurf-a-roonie."
/Nanny\: "Oh, my smurfness."
/Brainy\: "Smurf it isn't so, Papa Smurf."
So all the Smurfs could do was just do nothing and get themselves even more miserable while being kept inside some cages. And they really hoped that James, Grouchy, Vanity, Wild, and Smoogle will come in time to rescue them before it was too late, But even though, James won't be the only one to rescue the Smurfs alone, and the captive Smurfs were in for a real surprise soon enough.
Later on, outside of Gargamel's hovel, the Steam Team, Wild, Smoogle, and Puppy arrived. They stopped just a few yards from the horrid wizard's home.
/Thomas\: "Wild, is that where Gargamel lives?"
/Wild\: "Uh-huh, uh-huh!"
/Thomas\: "Alright, let's move!"
/James\: "No, wait!"
/Thomas\: "What is it, James?"
/James\: "If we go in the hovel straight away, that horrid wizard will do something to us again."
/Edward\: "Oh dear."
/Emily\: "You got a point on that."
/Thomas\: "What can we do to protect ourselves from Gargamel's magic?"
/James\: "Hel-lo! Don't you all remember?! We're magical Engines in this time period now!"
/Percy\: "Oh right, I forgot about that!"
/Toby\: "So how can we do to protect ourselves from Gargamel's magic?"
/James\: "Just watch what I can do and repeat after me."
James closed his eyes.
The other Engines watched carefully.
And then, James let out a chant.
/James\: "BY THE MAGIC AND POWER OF THE GOLD DUST, PLEASE PROTECT US FROM GARGAMEL'S MAGIC!"
Then suddenly, James' coat glowed with a golden shine.
The other Engines were amazed. And then, they also closed their eyes and let out the same chant that James said.
/The Steam Team minus James\: "BY THE MAGIC AND POWER OF THE GOLD DUST, PLEASE PROTECT US FROM GARGAMEL'S MAGIC!"
Suddenly, the Engines' coat's glowed with a golden shine also.
Wild, Smoogle, and Puppy were surprisingly amazed.
Just then, the Steam Teams' coat's stopped shining. And then, they all opened their eyes.
/James\: "Alright, we're ready."
/Thomas\: "Now let's move, but do not make a sound."
The Steam Team, Wild, Smoogle, and Puppy moved up closer to Gargamel's hovel. They moved closer… and closer… and closer… and closer. And they kept themselves very quiet. At last, they all reached to the door. And they could see that there was a gap between the door and the floor.
/Gargamel\: "/Cackling\"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Shh, listen, that's Gargamel."
/Gargamel\: "/Cackling\"
/Henry\: "/Speaking softly\ I really hate that cackling!"
/Gordon\: "/Speaking softly\ So do I!"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Let's listen and see what he's going to do with the Smurfs."
/James\: "/Speaking softly\ Wild, Smoogle, Puppy, you three keep yourselves quiet too, alright?"
Wild, Smoogle, and Puppy nodded their heads up and down.
So the Steam Team, Wild, Smoogle, and Puppy kept themselves quiet and began to listen to the commotion inside of Gargamel's hovel.
Inside the hovel, Gargamel was preparing things for the Smurfs' demise.
And Scruple was getting the stew pot ready as well.
/Gargamel\: "/Singing\ OH, I'LL FRY A FEW, PICKLE A FEW, AND SERVE A FEW REAL COLD, THEN I'LL TOAST A FEW, AND ROAST OF FEW, AND SAVE THE REST FOR GOLD! /Cackling\ It won't be long my little blue bon-bons! Your end will soon come, once you all are in my stew pot!"
/Percy\: "/Speaking softly\ Bust my buffers, he's going to eat them!"
/Toby\: "/Speaking softly\ And use the rest to make gold!"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Well, that's what Gargamel wants to do for all his life! Let's listen for more!"
/Scruple\: "Oh Gargie, your stew pot is ready."
/Gargamel\: "Excellent! And I'm finished with the other preparations! And now, for the coup de greasy; the Smurfs! /Cackling\"
/Latino\: "GAR-GA-MEL! /Speaking Spanish angrily\"
/Painter\: "OUI! /Speaking French angrily\"
Those made Gargamel really ticked off.
/Gargamel\: "You know, I was about to start on the Smurf with the glasses! But now, I'll start on one of you foul language vermin!"
/Scruple\: "Don't you even understand on what they're saying?"
/Gargamel\: "Well, no! But it must be insulting!"
/Edward\: "/Speaking softly\ Whoa, Latino has such a way with words!"
/Emily\: "/Speaking softly\ Yes, and even Painter!"
/Gargamel\: "Now, I'll settle this my way."
Gargamel began to make his decision.
/Gargamel\: "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a Smurf by the toe. If he hollers, don't let it go, eeny, meeny, miny…"
And Gargamel picked…
/Gargamel\: "Moe!"
Latino!
/Latino\: "Ay no!"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Oh no!"
/James\: "/Speaking softly\ Latino!"
/Gargamel\: "Come here, you!"
Gargamel opened the cage, and he grabbed Latino.
/Gargamel\: "I'll teach you to insult me with that potty mouth!"
Gargamel went up to his stew pot.
/Latino\: "¡Auxilio! Help!"
The Steam Team, Wild, Smoogle, and Puppy were horrified.
/Gargamel\: "Say goodbye, you little blue runt!"
Gargamel was hanging Latino by his leg.
/Latino\: "¡Ayúdame! ¡Ayúdame!"
Wild, Smoogle, and Puppy were furious.
And the Steam Team were very cross.
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ This ends here!"
/James\: "/Speaking softly\ This ends now!"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Ready, everyone?!"
/The other Engines minus Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Ready!"
/Gargamel\: "/Cackling\"
/Papa\: "No! Latino!"
And just as Gargamel was about to release Latino, the door slammed open. "/Sound of a door slammed open\"
/The Steam Team\: "NOT SO FAST, YOU OLD SLOW COACH!"
The three baddies turned, and there at the door, was the Steam Team!
/The Smurfs minus Latino, Grouchy, Vanity, & Wild\: "ENGINES!"
/Latino\: "AMIGOS!"
/Wild\: "SMOO-WAH!"
/Smoogle\: "SMOO-GLE!"
/Papa\: "WILD!"
/Nanny\: "SMOOGLE!"
/Scruple\: "Uh-oh, Gargie!"
/Gargamel\: "Impossible! How you all manage to come back to life?!"
/Thomas\: "In case you didn't know, we're magical too!"
/James\: "With the magic and power of the gold dust!"
/Scruple\: "The magic and power of the what?"
/Gargamel\: "Oooooh, you meddling contraptions! Well then, if you all are really magical, perhaps I'll do the same thing to you all like I did before!"
Gargamel handed Latino to Scruple. And then, he took out some tiny balls, and he threw them at the Steam Team.
/Papa\: "Look out, Engines!"
/Thomas\: "Wild, Smoogle, get out of the way!"
Wild and Smoogle got out of the way just in time.
Suddenly, the tiny balls hit the Steam Team. "/Sound of some explosions\" Smoke bellowed all over them.
/Gargamel\: "/Cackling\"
/Smurfette\: "Oh no, Engines!"
Just then, the smoke began to clear.
And to Gargamel's eyes, he saw something that made his jaw dropped. As the smoke cleared away, the evil wizard could see, that the Steam Team were still in one lively piece!
The Engines' coats were glowing with a golden shine, and they got themselves protected from the green goo that came out of the tiny balls.
/Thomas\: "You silly wizard, your magic doesn't work on us this time!"
/James\: "We're immune to it!"
/Snappy\: "Alright, Engines!"
/Gargamel\: "D'ohhhhh!"
Then the Steam Team's coats stopped glowing.
/Thomas\: "Now, we're taking the Smurfs back to where they belong! Wild, Smoogle, go free them!"
/Wild\: "SMOO-WAH!"
/Smoogle\: "SMOO-GLE!"
/Gargamel\: "Oh no you don't! Azrael, get them!"
/Azrael\: "/Snarling\"
/Henry\: "Sic him, Puppy! /PEEP! PEEP!\"
/Puppy\: "/Barking ferociously\"
/Azrael\: "/Screeching frightfully\"
/Gargamel\: "Darn it, they managed to bring their dog back to life too!"
/Thomas\: "Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, cornered Gargamel! Percy, Toby, cornered Scruple with me! Emily, guard Wild and Smoogle!"
/The Steam Team minus Thomas\: "Right!"
So the Steam Team took action and went on with their tasks.
Edward, Henry, Gordon, and James went up to Gargamel and cornered him.
Thomas, Percy, and Toby went up to Scruple and cornered him as well.
And Emily guarded Wild and Smoogle as they were trying to free the other Smurfs.
/Gargamel\: "No! Get away from there!"
But Wild kept on going.
Just then, Thomas could see that Scruple was still holding Latino. That made him cross.
/Thomas\: "Put down that Smurf!"
/Scruple\: "Why don't you make me!"
That made Thomas even more cross.
/Thomas\: "My friends, blow your whistles, Toby, ring your bell, like crazy!"
/The Steam Team minus Toby\: "/Whistling out of control\"
/Toby\: "/Dinging out of control\"
Gargamel and Scruple were puzzled.
/Handy\: "What are the Engines smurfing?"
/Hefty\: "I think they're trying to annoy Gargamel and Scruple!"
And indeed, Gargamel and Scruple couldn't stand the noises that the Steam Team were making really annoyed them.
/Gargamel\: "Stop it, stop it, stop making those vile noises!"
/Scruple\: "I can't take this! I… I… I must cover my ears!"
And with that, Scruple released Latino and he covered his ears.
/Latino\: "La libertad!"
Then, Latino went off to help Wild and Smoogle.
/The Steam Team minus Toby\: "/Whistling out of control\"
/Toby\: "/Dinging out of control\"
Gargamel was really ticked off.
/Gargamel\: "Please, I beg of you all! Stop making those noises!"
But then, the horrid wizard saw Latino heading towards the cages.
/Gargamel\: "No! That Smurf speaking with a different language is free! But how?!"
Gargamel turned to Scruple, and to his surprise, the nasty little boy had his hands covering his ears.
/Gargamel\: "Why that no-good idiotic boy!"
At last, Latino came and he quickly helped Wild and Smoogle free the other Smurfs. They opened from one cage to the other.
/Tuffy\: "Hooray!"
/Willing\: "Freedom!"
When Gargamel saw that, he was outraged.
/Gargamel\: "NO! The Smurfs are getting away!"
Now the evil wizard was raged with anger.
/Gargamel\: "Out of my way, you colorful behemoths!"
And Gargamel leaped over the Engines.
/Gordon\: "No you don't! Henry, help me and stop him!"
/Henry\: "With pleasure!"
As Gargamel was trying to get the Smurfs, Henry and Gordon outran him and they tackled him by making the bad wizard tripped.
/Gargamel\: "YEOW!"
Gargamel fell down hard to the ground. And he was in deep pain.
/Henry\: "Did you had a nice trip, Gargamel?"
/Gargamel\: "/Moaning in pain\"
/Gordon\: "I think that's a yes!"
Just then, the Engines stopped blowing their whistles, and Toby stopped ringing his bell.
And at last, the last of the Smurfs were finally free. And they quickly ran out of Gargamel's hovel. But for the Smurfs who were partners with the Steam Team were staying behind. They all went up to their Engine partners.
/Sassette\: "Oh Emily, it's so smurfy to smurf you again!"
/Emily\: "And it's "smurfy" to see you too, Sassette!"
/Dreamy\: "And we're very happy that you all are back to life!"
/Thomas\: "Indeed, and it's all thanks to James!"
/Tracker\: "Well then, hurray for James!"
/Farmer\: "Yeah, you're a hero!"
/The other Smurfs\: "HURRAY FOR JAMES!"
James blushed bright pink and he felt very proud.
/James\: "Awe, it was nothing."
Suddenly, everyone heard something.
/Gargamel\: "/Moaning\"
It was Gargamel. He was recovering from his trip.
And Scruple uncovered his ears.
That made the Smurfs feeling alarmed.
/Thomas\: "Quick, get inside our cabs!"
The Smurfs quickly scrabbled to their Engine partners. But James was the only one who didn't have his Smurf partners.
/Smurfette\: "Where's Grouchy and Vanity, James?!"
/James\: "Don't worry, Smurfette, those two went off to get your friend!"
/Harmony\: "Which friend?"
/James\: "King Gerard!"
/Jokey\: "Oh, him! Gargamel is in for a big surprise! /Giggling\"
/Thomas\: "Alright then, let's move out!"
/The Engines minus Thomas\: "Right!"
The Engines, with their Smurf partners aboard, all chuffed off and away from the three baddies.
But then, Henry notice something. He could see that Puppy was still trying to get to Azrael.
/Puppy\: "/Barking ferociously\"
/Azrael\: "/Screeching frightfully\"
Henry thinks that it's enough was enough for Puppy.
/Henry\: "Puppy, here boy! We're leaving now! /PEEP! PEEP!\"
Puppy heard Henry's command and he simply forget about Azrael and ran off.
/Puppy\: "/Barking\"
Just then, Gargamel was fully recovered. And to his surprise, he could see that the cages were all empty.
/Gargamel\: "No! The Smurfs! They're gone!"
The evil horrid wizard was furious.
/Gargamel\: "Ooooooh, those meddling contraptions!"
/Scruple\: "Wait, Gargie, look!"
Gargamel turned, and there at the door, was the Steam Team, along with their Smurf partners.
/Thomas\: "Well Gargamel, I guess this is goodbye!"
/James\: "We sure had fun outsmarting you!"
/Edward\: "We would love to do this all the time! But guess what?! We won't, because you'll be gone soon!"
/Emily\: "Have a nice new life, you old slow coach!"
/The Smurfs\: "Bye-bye, Gargamel!"
And the Steam Team, with their Smurf partners aboard, all magically chuffed away back towards the village.
Gargamel was outraged.
/Gargamel\: "Get back here, you fools! And what do they mean by saying all those things to me?!"
Gargamel stood up, and he grabbed his net.
/Gargamel\: "Come on, you two! The Smurfs are getting away!"
/Scruple\: "But Gargie, I think that we should…"
/Gargamel\: "NOOOW!"
The three baddies dashed out of the bad wizard's hovel, and they went after the Smurfs again. But the Steam Team, who has their Smurf partners aboard, were chuffing faster and farther away from the three baddies.
Just then, Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael entered the forest and they picked up the pace. Then suddenly, the evil wizard saw the Smurfs and the Steam Team up ahead.
And the Steam Team and the Smurfs could see the three baddies coming and the Engines picked up their speed. And then, they all went deeper into the forest and went completely out of sight.
But Gargamel knows exactly where the Smurfs were and he charged himself deep into the forest.
/Gargamel\: "Ohhhhhh, those horrible little blue devils and their allies, wait until I get them back again!"
And all Scruple and Azrael could do was simply sigh.
/Scruple & Azrael\ "/SIGH\"
Just then, the three baddies entered the deepest part of the forest.
But suddenly, Gargamel, Scruple and Azrael saw something that made them gasp.
/Gargamel, Scruple, & Azrael\: "/GASP\"
And they came to a grinding halt.
There, right in front of them, was his majesty, King Gerard. And along with him was his guards.
The king looked very angry.
/Gargamel\: "K-K-K-King Gerard!"
/Scruple\: "Your majesty!"
/Azrael\: "MEOW!"
/King Gerard\: "That's it, Gargamel! This is the final straw! Guards, seize them!"
The guards restrained the three baddies.
/Gargamel\: "NOOOOOO!"
And with that, King Gerard and his guards set off to the young king's castle, taking the three baddies with them.
The Steam Team and the Smurfs, who were hiding in some bushes, watched happily as King Gerard and his guards took Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael away.
At the young king's castle, Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael were at King Gerard's throne room feeling very miserable.
The young king was speaking severely to them.
/King Gerard\: "Gargamel, you had gone too far! What do you had to say for yourself?!"
/Gargamel\: "B-B-B-But your majesty, you don't understand! Those Smurfs made my life miserable!"
/King Gerard\: "Oh? And just how did the Smurfs made your life miserable?"
/Gargamel\: "Everything! And from the first time I met them, they ambushed me!"
/King Gerard\: "And what did you do to them before they ambushed you?"
/Gargamel\: "I… uh… well… /MOAN\"
/King Gerard\: "You what? Out with it already!"
/Gargamel\: "Uh, I want to use them for experiments for a formula to turn them into gold?"
/Scruple\: "And you also want to eat them too!"
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ Quiet, you loud mouth!"
After hearing those things, King Gerard was very angry.
/King Gerard\: "You pathetic use for a wizard! I can't believe you tried to do those things to the Smurfs, and I cannot allow that!"
Gargamel felt very embarrassed.
But Scruple tried something to save himself.
/Scruple\: "But your majesty, I have absolute no desire of turning the Smurfs to gold or eating them! Gargie forced me to do those things!"
/Gargamel\: "What?!"
King Gerard could see that Scruple was speaking the truth.
/King Gerard\: "Hmm. Then tell me, young lad. What is your real desire?"
/Scruple\: "My real desire is to become a powerful wizard. But I hardly accomplished that goal."
/King Gerard\: "Well, did Gargamel ever taught you to do the things to make you become a wizard?"
/Scruple\: "As if! All I ever done from Gargie is doing chores!"
/Gargamel\: "Why you good-for-nothing use for an apprentice!"
/King Gerard\: "SILENCE!"
Then King Gerard began to ponder. And then, he thought of something to save Scruple.
/King Gerard\: "Very well. Young lad, consider yourself that you are save from me for doing something to you."
/Scruple\: "Alright!"
/Gargamel\: "Whaaaaaaaat?!"
/King Gerard\: "And as for you, Gargamel, your reign of terror on the Smurfs has come to an end, and I hereby you banished from my kingdom, forever!"
/Gargamel\: "NOOOOOO!"
/King Gerard\: "You will leave my kingdom first thing tomorrow! Oh, and if you ever set foot in my kingdom or the Smurfs' village again, I will sentence you to life in my dungeon!"
/Gargamel\: "/GULP\"
/King Gerard\: "Guards, escort him to his hovel, and don't let him out of your sight!"
Gargamel dropped down to his knees and shouted.
/Gargamel\: "I HATE SMURFS! I HATE THEM, I HATE THEM, I…"
/King Gerard\: "SILENCE! I don't want to hear your hatred on my friends again! Guards, take him away!"
/Scruple\: "Bye-bye Gargie. You too, Azrael."
And with that, the guards took Gargamel and Azrael away and out of King Gerard's throne room.
/Scruple\: "But your majesty, where am I going to live?"
/King Gerard\: "Why, you will live here, in my castle."
/Scruple\: "Really?"
/King Gerard\: "Really."
/Scruple\: "Oh thank you, your majesty! And about my desire?"
/King Gerard\: "Don't worry, I will bring forth a good teacher and wizard to help you become what you always wanted to be."
/Scruple\: "Oh thank you, your majesty. And why are you so nice to me?"
/King Gerard\: "Because, I'm the kindest king in this entire kingdom."
/Scruple\: "Whoa."
/King Gerard\: "Oh, and one more thing."
/Scruple\: "Yes, your majesty?"
/King Gerard\: "Do you swear that you will never terrorize the Smurfs ever again?"
/Scruple\: "You have my word, your majesty."
/King Gerard\: "Good. /Whistling\ Clockwork Smurf! Clockwork Smurfette!"
/Clockwork Smurf & Clockwork Smurfette\: "/Speaking in robot talk\"
The two Clockworks came to King Gerard's throne room. But when they saw Scruple, they were alarmed and furious.
/Clockwork Smurf & Clockwork Smurfette\: "/Snarling furiously\"
/King Gerard\: "Now, now, calm down, you two. This young lad won't do anything to you anymore. He's on our side now."
The two Clockworks were surprised. But then, they believe on what King Gerard said and they simply smiled at Scruple.
/King Gerard\: "Now where was I? Oh yes! You two, go to the Smurfs' village and tell them the news that Gargamel is banished from my kingdom for good."
/Clockwork Smurf & Clockwork Smurfette\: "/Speaking in robot talk\"
After receiving orders from the young king, the Clockworks set off to the Smurf village.
When they got there, the Clockworks told the Smurfs and the Steam Team the news, and there was a delighted chorus of cheers and whistles.
/The Smurfs\: "/Cheering\"
/The Steam Team\: "/Whistling/dinging\"
They were all very happy.
/Dreamy\: "Hurray!"
/Tracker\: "Gargamel is smurfing!"
/Handy\: "For good!"
/Willing\: "Music to my smurfs!"
/Thomas\: "And now, you Smurfs can have the peace, harmony, and freedom that you all want."
/Edward\: "And that's music to our funnels."
/Henry\: "I puff to that."
/Papa\: "Engines, how can we ever resmurf you all for smurfing our lives."
/James\: "It's the least we can do to keep you Smurfs away from being extinct."
And the Engines all smiled proudly.
/Papa\: "And my little Smurfs, I owe you all an apology. Smurfing Gargamel away is the only way to have our peace, harmony, and freedom back. And some of you are right, that smurfing that I always smurf about helping Gargamel no matter how bad he was is a bunch of rubbish, and I was a fool. Can you all ever forgive me?"
/Hefty\: "Of course we can."
/Tuffy\: "And we will never be mad at our Papa Smurf… well, sometimes."
/Papa\: "Gee, thanks, Tuffy. I think."
Tuffy felt pleased.
Then Papa turned to Grouchy.
/Papa\: "And as for you, Grouchy. I've been watching you with your change of heart ever since you and James became the smurfiest of friends. You showed me the real positive side of yourself very well, and you been expressing you positive emotions very smoothly. I never been more prouder of you than being one of my little happy Smurfs."
/Grouchy\: "Thanks, Papa Smurf."
/Papa\: "And despite your change of heart, I think that you deserve a new name."
/Grouchy\: "Huh?!"
/Papa\: "Why not? You're no longer a grouchy Smurf, and I think changing your name is the smurfy way for you now that you can express your emotions freely. In fact, I already thought of a couple of new names for you. You can be either Moody Smurf, or Emotional Smurf. Whichever you want."
Grouchy was surprised. But, he didn't know what to do. He didn't know whether he wants to change his name or not. And he worried that if he changes his name, no one will know who he is, especially James.
So Grouchy turned to his special friend.
/Grouchy\: "James, what do you smurf?"
/James\: "It's up to you, Grouchy. And I will still be your friend and partner whether you change your name or not."
/Baby Smurf\: "Eee!"
And after hearing those things from James, Grouchy began to thought. He thought harder… and harder… and harder… and harder.
Everyone was waiting patiently on what Grouchy was going to say.
But at last, Grouchy had made his decision.
/Grouchy\: "Ok, I have decided."
Everyone listen carefully.
/Grouchy\: "I should always and forever be… Grouchy Smurf!"
Everyone was surprisingly puzzled.
/Grouchy\: "And here's the reason why… I HATE changing my name! I LOVE my old name, and that's who I am!"
Everyone was surprised. But then, they all respected Grouchy very well and they had to agree with his decision. Especially James.
/Papa\: "Well Grouchy, if that's the way you wanted, then it's smurfy with me."
/James\: "Me too, and I love your old name also."
/Baby Smurf\: "Gaa!"
Grouchy beamed brightly. And he went up to James and placed one of his hands on one of the #5 engine's buffers.
/James\: "/PEEP! PEEP! PEEP!\"
And throughout the rest of day, the Smurfs and the Steam Team went on celebrating over Gargamel's banishment.
When the next day came, the news of Gargamel's banishment was spread.
When Gargamel's mother heard this, she was devastated. But though, she didn't know whether she has mixed feelings for her son or not. And also, she still thinks that her son was a failure for being a wizard.
When Gargamel's godfather Lord Balthazar heard this, he was also devastated. But even thought, he still thinks that his godson was a disgrace to the family.
When the local wizards heard this, they were glad that Gargamel had been banished from King Gerard's kingdom. And they still think that the horrid wizard was a total nutcase because they don't believe that the Smurfs do exist.
Even Hogatha and Chlorhydris heard about Gargamel's banishment, and they were glad about it also.
And earlier in the morning, Gargamel and Azrael were escorted out of King Gerard's kingdom by the young king's guards. And they were never to be seen and heard of again.
While at the Smurf village, the Steam Team were enjoying their time with the Smurfs. They've been doing the fun things that they all love to do. And they were going to do the fun things that they all love to do for the next several days, until the time has come.
(Acela Smurf7): Hooray, Gargamel is gone! Whoo-hoo! And boy, what a day that turn out to be. And now, all I can say is: the next chapter will be coming soon enough.
