The British Sisterhood
Nighttime at the sheds, and engines were already heading home to them. One engine in particular was LMS Black 5 Number 44871. The Engine's name was Sovereign and she had a tough day so far, "I just want to return home and get some rest. I've had a long day of goods trains," She puffed along, unaware of being watched from the shadows. Sovereign continued puffing before the sound of a Shadow Liner's Whistle was heard, "Huh? I don't recognize that whistle."
Sovereign's Driver and Fireman didn't recognize it either, "Could be an intruder or something." her driver suggested.
"I'm really hoping it's the latter but it's most likely the former." said her fireman.
Little did he know was that the one watching Sovereign earlier had given the signal to strike. Suddenly a glow surrounded Sovereign, "What's happening?" she asked terrified. Before her driver and fireman could do anything they suddenly disappeared into thin air. The one watching Sovereign laughed and vanished.
Next Morning in Malibu California, Roxanne was at the Campus doing some assistant teaching. She wasn't alone though as the Rough Riders along with Carol and Camille were there.
"Thanks for agreeing to join me, guys." Roxanne said.
"No problem." Camille replied.
"We'd be honored to help you." Carol added.
"After watching Negi and Dustin teach, we know exactly how to help." Camille put in.
"And besides you have us for support. Not to mention you did a wonderful job teaching." Elesa said.
"Thank you very much, ladies."
Carol, Camille and the Rough Riders heard a loud and obnoxious sounding voice nearby followed by another one with a southern accent. One girl had long black hair, and the second had short blonde hair.
"Okay who are you two?" Flannery asked.
"I'm Mandy, and this is my cousin Mindy. Obviously how can you not know who we are?"
"Cause we've never seen you losers before until now." Skyla answered.
"Losers? As if." Mindy replied.
"The only losers we're looking at are you seven." Mandy added.
"Well at least we don't sound like squeeky wheels you dumbass." Carol mocked.
"Excuse me?" Mandy asked in outrage.
Carol smirked, "You heard me."
"Watch yourself, girl." Mandy warned her, and the two left.
"Those two really burn me up. I'd love to pay them out." Flannery frowned.
Fortunately Flannery didn't have to wait long for she saw a beehive above Mandy and Mindy so she used her fire power to cut the hive without making a scene causing the hive to fall and break just as Mandy and Mindy walked past. The two saw a swarm of angry bees that started swarming around them. They ran as the swarm followed them, as they make groans and cries of pain.
"Now that was funny. Let's get to the main building." Camille said. They walked on to the building.
"So all we gotta do is find the Dean and explain that Roxanne is here to assist." Skyla said. They nodded and went for the office.
As they did they saw three other girls, one had red hair, one had black hair and the third was a blonde.
Carol spoke, "I know these girls. They're Sam Alex and Clover."
"How do you know?" Camille asked.
"I met them when I was 12 and did some Avatar training in the states."
"Nice." Camille smiled.
"Let's go talk to them." Candice suggested.
As they did they could hear the three talking about Mandy and Mindy, "When I saw those two covered in bee stings, I thought they had a major acne break out." Clover said.
Flannery giggled as Alex spoke next, "They won't be going on dates for a week."
Camille laughed as Sam spoke, "I'm surprised they didn't die from so many stings."
The girls had a laugh and just before the two groups were ready to cross paths all ten of them were whooped. They were falling through a tunnel before landing on couches before Jerry's Desk.
"Greetings ladies."
"Jerry, you really have impeccable timing." Sam said dryly.
"Uh where are we?" Skyla asked.
The Spies looked over and cried in shock, "Who are you?" Alex gasped.
"In the wrong place at the wrong time." Carol answered.
"As long as we're here we may as well introduce ourselves to each other." Roxanne said. Everyone was in agreement.
"My name is Roxanne. The Earth Loving Honor College Graduate."
"I'm Flannery and I have a fiery passion that burns."
"Elesa the Shining Beauty."
"My name is Skyla the High Flying Girl."
"I'm Candice the Diamond Dust Girl."
"I'm Carol Carlin."
"And I'm Camille Cooper."
Jerry and the Spies nodded before they introduced themselves to the seven other girls.
"My name's Sam."
"I'm Clover."
"And I'm Alex."
"I am Jerry, I welcome you all to WOOHP."
"WOOHP?" Flannery asked, "I take it that's an acronym for something."
"The World Organization Of Human Protection."
"We're honored to be here." Camille said.
"But what do you need from us?" Candice inquired.
"And what do my old pals Sam, Alex, and Clover have to do with this?" Carol asked.
"Our satellites show an engine from this railway had just been abducted out of thin air with its driver and fireman." The girls saw the footage that Jerry showed them and Candice gasped.
"I know that engine. That's Sovereign. She's an LMS Black Five."
"Then you know of those who work on this railway?" Jerry asked.
"In a way. She's Mainline Certified. As are many Steam Engines in this day and age. Either way were there any other engines that went missing?"
"Unfortunately, yes. Union of South Africa, an LNER A4 Mallard went missing and Southern Railway Merchant Navy Clan Line disappeared before she did.
"Jerry, we have to help. I have an idea as to who is behind this but we're gonna need gadgets." Carol said.
"Already covered." Jerry then presented the Gadgets in question to the Spies, "Today you will be taking Laser lipstick, Jetpack backpacks, Wind Tunnel Hair Dryer, Inflatable Vest, cable bungee belts, and the M ray contact lenses." The Spies accepted the gadgets.
"So how do you plan to get us to the United Kingdom, Jerry?" Elesa asked.
"The WOOHP jet is waiting for you. Good luck, everyone." He pressed a button and they got Re-WOOHPed
The Girls were in England at the York Railway Museum, as they began to come up with a plan, "If we are to find the missing engines we need to talk to some of their relatives." Carol said.
"Engines have relatives?" Clover asked in confusion.
"Of course they do." Camille confirmed.
"I didn't know that." Alex said.
"Now you now. Anyway we better talk to Dominion of Canada. She can tell us what her sister is like." Roxanne said.
"Then let's go." Sam ordered.
"We don't even know what she looks like. How do we find her?" Alex asked.
"She stands out. She is the only LNER A4 with a bell." Roxanne explained.
"Ok, how can an engine have a name?" Clover asked.
A female Canadian voice answered, "That's actually a good question and I would be happy to answer it."
The three spies jumped in fright while getting into kung fu stances. Carol, Camille, and the Rough Riders giggled a bit before Roxanne spoke.
"Calm down, ladies, that was Dominion of Canada. She's right over here." The spies turned to see Roxanne pointing to the engine in question.
Dominion of Canada spoke, "Greetings ladies. I apologize if I spooked you. I'm Dominion of Canada."
"That train has a face! And it's talking!" Clover freaked out.
"Calm down. I'm not a threat. Which is more than I can say to those who kidnapped my sister."
"Ok, I am confused. Trains aren't supposed to talk." Alex said feeling surprised.
"It's all the magic in the British Isles." Roxanne answered.
"This is definitely something new." Sam said in awe.
"Right now we have work to do." Elesa reminded them. The spies nodded, and decided to look around the scene of the crime.
In the meantime, Carol and Roxanne were asking Dominion of Canada some questions.
"Did you see anything unusual before the abduction took place?" Carol asked.
"Now that you mention it I saw a glow around Union of South Africa before she and her crew vanished."
"A glow?" Roxanne asked.
"Yes and the next thing I knew she was gone."
"This is strange." Carol said.
"And there is more to this."
"What else?" Roxanne asked.
"Before she left she told me about something called the Sisterhood."
"Sisterhood?" Roxanne asked.
"Mira may have told me about it. But we'll have to be sure. Get the spies." Camille ordered.
Roxanne pulled out the compowder to contact them, "Ladies, have you found anything?"
"Nothing here." Sam answered.
"I got nothing." Alex confessed.
"Same here." Clover finished.
Roxanne spoke, "I think we may have a lead. Dominion of Canada said that her sister said something about the Sisterhood. Does this mean anything to you?"
The three spies gasped, "Unfortunately." Sam sighed.
"Perhaps we better talk about this in person?" Roxanne suggested. They ended transmission.
The Spies then showed up near Dominion of Canada to talk.
"So what do you know about the Sisterhood?" Skyla asked.
Sam explained, "The Sisterhood was an ancient guild of warrior women who wanted to eliminate all men and inferior women and gain their place as the true rulers of the world."
"The group's last leader Ariel located and gathered up those who were part of it and hypnotized them into following her orders." Alex added.
"And get this. Sammy and her family were members." Clover put in.
Skyla was shocked, and asked, Sam, "You're kidding me."
"I wish I was."
"You defeated her once so she should be in prison right?" Flannery asked.
"Actually, she escaped when we tried to bring her in." Alex answered.
"Okay that sounds interesting but what would an ancient warrior guild want with Steam engines?" Carol asked.
"I have no idea." Sam answered.
"Do you have Ariel's family tree by any chance?" Camille asked.
"Ever since our last meeting with her Jerry did a full background check on her." Clover answered.
"We better call him. We're gonna need it." Candice said.
Sam used her compowder to contact Jerry, "Jerry?"
"Hello, spies. Any progress?"
"Some but do you have Ariel's family tree?" Sam asked.
"Of course. Do you suspect her to be part in this scheme?"
"We do." Roxanne nodded.
"Oh, dear. Well, I'll send you the family tree right away." The girls got the family tree from Jerry.
"Here it is." Sam said. The girls then looked over the list.
"Sam, can you cross reference that list with everyone here living on the British Isles?" Elesa asked.
"On it." She used her compowder to do so.
"I had no idea there were hidden members of the Sisterhood here." Camille gasped.
"Though that would explain the red eyes that Mira Jones had when she tried to attack me." Carol said.
"And no doubt Ariel's looking to bring them under her control." Sam put in.
"Hello she dropped the belt. The gem was shattered." Clover reminded her.
"Yeah. How else could she get them to follow her command?" Alex asked.
"What if she found another way to do the job?" Candice suggested.
"The question is how?" Sam wondered.
Camille then got an email from Mira, "Check this out. Mira said that she got an invite to a wrestling show in the Barrow."
"Wrestling? Oh, not again." Clover sighed.
"Let me guess you dealt with wrestling before?" Flannery asked.
"This is how Ariel started her whole luring those part of the sisterhood to her." Alex explained.
"Only this time now that we know Sam is part of the Sisterhood we can just have her walk on in to watch the show and warn Mira." Roxanne said.
"That's assuming I don't get brainwashed like before." Sam said in worry.
"Allow me. If she's using magic then we'll need to use magic." Camille said.
"Seriously?" Clover asked.
"In the words of Camille's Chi teacher do you want to keep Sam from being brainwashed yes?" Carol yelled as she got in Clover's face, "Then do what Camille tells you!"
"Uh, ok."
Camille spoke to Sam, "This will only take a minute," she applied mud mask to Sam's face, "There you go. The mud mask will protect you from whatever power or spell Ariel's planning to use."
"I feel like I'm just walking with mud on my face." Sam sighed.
"If you want we can remove it and leave you at Ariel's mercy." Flannery warned her.
"Then again. I can bear with it."
"We better get going. The Wrestling match is about to begin tonight." Elesa said. The girls then legged it and caught a jet to take them to the Barrow compliments of WOOHP.
Sam was dressed in casual clothes. She then saw Mira Jones as Camille had described her. Mira had bright green streaked Brown hair and she wore a Dark Green Jacket with the logo of the Sodor Dieselworks on the back over a pair of Pink shorts.
"Oh, hello. Who are you? I'm Mira Jones."
"My name's Sam."
"Are you here for the Wrestling Show?"
"Why yes I am."
"So am I but I get the feeling that something's odd. If they were holding a wrestling show why did they only invite females?"
"I have my suspicions about it myself."
Mira thought, 'I wonder if I should tell her I'm a Power Ranger?'
"Well, we better get going." Sam suggested.
"Of course." Mira and Sam walked into the building where the Wrestling was to take place.
Once inside Mira and Sam found some seats. Sam thought to herself, 'So far all's normal.'
"They call this wrestling? I've seen better moves watching WWE." Mira called.
"How do you know so much about wrestling, Mira?"
"I'm a fan."
Sam was about to comment but then Ariel got in the ring after the match ended and she had her belt fully restored.
"Welcome, ladies!"
"Sam, should we be worried right now?" Mira asked.
Sam nodded, "Very worried."
Mira took Sam's words to heart as Ariel spoke, "Today we shall begin anew with the rebirth of the Sisterhood!"
"What is she talking about? And what's with that belt of hers?" Mira asked Sam.
"Mira, brace yourself."
The belt started glowing. The crowd of Women aside from Sam were affected as their eyes were beginning to glow red. They rose up and started chanting for the Sisterhood.
Sam spoke quietly to herself, "Time to apply some of this mud to Mira get her out of here. Good thing Camille gave me a jar of the stuff."
As Mira was chanting, Sam dabbed it on her face. Mira stopped chanting and looked at Sam confused, "What's going on, Sam?"
"I'll explain later. Right now we need to get out of here."
"You have a plan?"
"Sort of."
They escaped before any of the women noticed. Once out of range of the area Mira began to ask Sam some questions.
"Okay what's going on, Sam? Was I acting weird?"
"That woman Ariel is trying to restore her cult known as the Sisterhood by bringing back descendants of previous members. You and I have ancestors who were part of it."
"It's all Greek to me."
"Yeah, the Sisterhood dates back to the old times."
"So where do we go from here?"
"We got to find my friends. They can help."
"So can mine. I just called Camille. I better tell her what's going on."
"Good thing I already met her." Sam said.
"You did?"
"Yeah. Come on!" They hurried.
Meanwhile the Spies and company were trying to find Sam and Mira, "I hope they're ok." Alex said.
"Relax. Camille gave Sam a mud mask and some mud for Mira so they'll be fine. Besides they're tough." Carol said,
"Yeah, we've known that about Sam." Clover said.
Flannery spoke in worry, "Uh, guys, we got a problem." she pointed to a mob of women with glowing red eyes attacking other women using wrestling moves, "Looks like Ariel's been busy."
"Deja Vu." Alex said.
Skyla then spoke up, "We can take them."
"Easy, Skyla. A true warrior tempers courage with reason. If we fight them here innocent people could get hurt." Roxanne said.
"That's right." Camille nodded.
"We have to lure them out of the area." Elesa said.
"Leave it to me." Carol said.
"You better do it fast." clover warned her.
Carol then went before the mob of women and spoke, "Hey, weaklings. The Sisterhood is so pathetic that they couldn't catch a fly let alone me!"
Clover and Alex paled as the women started coming at Carol.
"Relax you two. This is where you see Carol's abilities." Camille said. They watched.
Carol used her Water bending to hose the women before incasing them up to their heads in ice, "That should keep them busy. Now to find Sam and Mira." They hurried while Alex and Clover were astounded.
They found Sam and Mira at the train station in Barrow-In-Furness, "Sam, are these your friends?" Mira asked about Clover and Alex.
"Yes, Mira, this is Clover, and Alex. Girls, this is Mira."
"Hello." Mira greeted them.
"Hi." said Alex.
"What's up?" Clover asked.
"Nothing much just that Sam and I have something that you might want to hear. Turns out we overheard Ariel mention that she plans to use some steam engines she captured to awaken all the Sisterhood members on the British Isles and set them upon the women who aren't members first."
"That's not good." Clover said.
"We got to set all those women and those engines free." Alex said.
"Except we have no idea how to find them." Elesa reminded them.
"What we need is a cover. We find an engine Ariel's most likely to target next." Sam suggested.
"But it has to be female." Candice put in.
"And I've been going over the list of engines that were kidnapped and I found a major discovery." Roxanne added.
"What have you got?" Sam asked.
"All the captured engines were gathered at the York Railway Museum. It turns out Sovereign suffered an accident and she lost her lamp and whistle in the process. So seven engines were gathered to help find a new one for her."
"Do you have a list of the engines in question?" Alex asked.
"Way ahead of you." Candice gave them a list of all the engines, as the spies looked it over.
Clover spoke, "There's Clan Line's name, and Union of South Africa's name and Dominion of Canada's name too. But why wasn't Dominion of Canada taken?"
"Because she's a static museum piece only and they already have an A4 as it is." Roxanne said.
"However the next engine that Ariel might target is Pocket Rocket. Which means we'll need to get to her and fast." Flannery stated.
"Then we got no time to lose." Sam declared.
"If we hurry we can catch Pocket Rocket at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway." Camille said. So the group hurried off.
At the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Pocket Rocket was being greased and oiled up for her next train, "Oh, that feels good," Right on cue the Spies and the Rough Riders showed up, "Carol, what are you doing here? And why did you bring the Rough Riders?"
"Pocket Rocket, you're in danger."
Pocket Rocket saw Camille, "Camille, I've been hearing that you've reformed lately and I also hear that steam engines have vanished. Are you responsible for this?"
"Of course it's not me!"
"I can vouch for her.' Carol came to her defense.
"I believe you, Carol. But who or what am I in danger from?"
"A cult known as the Sisterhood." Sam explained.
"And they want to use you to awaken their members on the British Isles." Clover added.
"If what you say is true then the leader would need somebody who knows the Southern Region of the British Railway System by heart."
"Correct." Carol confirmed.
"That's probably why they took Clan Line but why would they want you too?" Sam wondered.
Before Pocket Rocket could answer Carol could sense Ariel coming via her seismic sense, "Somebody's coming. Hide." They all took cover.
Ariel then showed up along with two of her followers, "Ah, this one will do."
"What do you plan to do with me?" Pocket Rocket asked nervously.
Ariel smirked, "I am going to use you as a pawn in my plan to restore the Sisterhood to its former glory."
"And how do you plan to do that?"
"That is for you to find out."
Pocket Rocket gulped as Ariel and her two followers then made Pocket Rocket vanish thanks to the belt, "Let's go." Ariel and her followers then left and once they were gone the spies then emerged.
"I can't believe we hid while Pocket Rocket was kidnapped." Clover said in outrage.
"True but just before we did I managed to plant a little homing beacon on her. Now we'll be able to find out where she's been taken." Carol said.
"And according to the beacon it looks like she's been taken to London." Sam noted.
"Then that's where we're going." Alex said. The team then headed to London via train right away.
In London, it was dark when they arrived and at an old train station Ariel and her group had the captured engines all ready to go.
"Tonight the Sisterhood shall rule the British Isles and tomorrow the world." Ariel declared.
Union of South Africa shouted, "You'll never get away with this!"
Clan Line demanded, "Let us go right now and release our crews!"
"I'm afraid you won't be seeing your crews anymore." Ariel replied.
"You can't do this!" Clan Line shouted.
"I can and I am." She left with her followers.
Carol spoke to the others, "We got to get these engines out of here before Ariel comes back."
"But where do we hide them?" Camille asked, "And who knows whose guarding them."
"We can take on whoever they got guarding." Alex said.
"Then let's get them!" Flannery declared. They nodded.
Suddenly the guards in the form of Sisterhood Members showed up, "I think we found the guards." Roxanne said.
"Oh, boy." Alex gasped in worry.
"We can beat them. We just have to outsmart them." Skyla said. They got ready.
The Guards attacked but the Spies outsmarted and defeated them, "That wasn't so bad." Clover said.
Union of South Africa rolled her eyes, "Speak for yourself."
"Don't worry we're going to get you out of here." Sam promised.
"First you need to rescue our crews then they can get us out of here." Clan Line stated.
"Did they say where they're keeping them?" Alex asked.
Sovereign answered, "They're holding them on a warehouse on the edge of town. It's along the Thames River."
"We'll split up." Sam ordered.
"Good idea." Elesa nodded.
"Let's do it!" Alex declared.
The team then headed to the edge of town to the warehouse that Sovereign mentioned earlier and found the place was acting as Ariel's hideout but that wasn't all they found.
"I don't believe it. Jasmine's here too." Camille gasped.
"How about that." Carol said.
"You know her?" Alex asked.
"Unfortunately, yes." Camille answered.
"And it's not pretty." Carol added.
"You got that right. Look at her fashion sense. I mean black is not a good color to wear in bright sunny weather." Clover commented.
"We got to put a stop to them." Sam said.
"Let's get them while we still have the element of surprise." Flannery suggested. They nodded.
In the Warehouse, Ariel and Jasmine were talking about their next plan, "So how goes our plan so far and can I ask you something?" Jasmine asked.
"You may." Ariel confirmed.
"Since we used the Geno Scroll and it revealed that you're an ancestor of my birth mother may I call you Mom?"
Ariel smiled, "Of course my child."
Jasmine then gave her ancestor a hug and sobbed, "It's so good to see you mom. Dad divorced my birth mother and remarried and I'm stuck with a stupid half sibling."
"Let it all out my troubled one." Jasmine continued pouring her heart out to Ariel about her problems with her Father and her stepmother. Ariel comforted her and stroked her hair.
Meanwhile the Spies and Company managed to sneak into the Warehouse and found the captured engine crews.
"There they are." Alex said.
"Let's get them out of here before the guards find us." Camille ordered.
They hurried to the cells and used the laser lipstick to melt the locks, "Thank you for helping us." Sovereigns driver thanked them.
"We're going to get you all out of here." Sam promised.
Clan Line's Driver shouted, "Behind you!"
The team noticed that the guards showed up, "Let's get to work." Carol said. The team then began to battle the guards using their own strength against them.
Clover used the wind tunnel hair dryer and blew them away, "That takes care of the guards. Now let's get out of here." They started running.
"Shouldn't we make sure Ariel doesn't escape this time?" Alex asked.
"Leave it to me. I already called Jerry before we showed up here." Camille said.
"Good thinking." Sam smiled.
The team was nearly out of the building when they ran into Ariel, "Going somewhere, girls?"
"Yeah and nothing is gonna stop us!" Carol answered.
"We'll see." She raised her belt up that summoned more of her zombified captives.
"Bring it!" Camille called. So the two sides engaged in combat.
The heroes had a tough time against the zombified captives but thanks to Carol's quick thinking she managed to Lavabend and destroy Ariel's belt for good freeing the captives just as Candice cast a spell to trap Ariel in a block of Ice from the neck down.
"That'll cool you off." Alex joked.
"Yeah, just stay frozen until we get you back to WOOHP." Clover added.
"Until then, just chill out." Sam finished.
Right on cue WOOHP Agents arrived with Jerry to take Ariel to Prison, "Congratulations, ladies. Ariel won't be reviving the sisterhood anytime soon."
"Well, we couldn't have done it without our friends." Sam admitted.
"They were a big help. And Clover and Roxane are already getting along." Alex said.
"Yes. A job well done to the rest of you as well." Jerry concluded. The group all cheered.
Next day in Malibu University Roxanne chatting with Sam Alex and Clover about how she taught class, "Teaching classes is like cakewalk to me. In fact I had to sub for two young genius boys who work as professors at a Japanese girls academy."
"You went to Japan?" Sam asked.
"Yes. And I'm sure you'll agree it is beautiful."
Clover groaned, "Oh, no here comes trouble."
The quartet noticed Mandy and Mindy showing up, "Didn't you losers know your outfits are out of style?" Mandy began.
"They're like totally 100 years ago." Mindy mocked. Mandy and Mindy let out their signature annoying laughs. The three spies frowned at their mockery.
Roxanne noticed a pile of manure and used her powers to levitate it over Mandy and Mindy's heads before dropping it on them. They screamed and ran away, "That'll show them."
"You're great to have around." Clover smirked.
"That's so sweet, ladies. But it won't be long till I have to go to sodor to check something out. I leave in a week."
"Oh, bummer." Alex pouted.
"I was learning so much from you." Sam sighed.
"I know but just cause I won't be around doesn't mean my friends and I can't visit from time to time."
"That would be great." Clover smiled.
"Group hug!" Alex cheered. The girls all hugged knowing that this was the start of a beautiful friendship.
