Preparations
Narrator: Ladies and Gentlemen, we are finally here. So to recap, Henry, Toby, Oliver, Emily, Invert, Rosie, Samantha, Arthur, Skarloey, Kara, Peter Sam, and Rusty were kidnapped by Diesel 10, and were being held captive by Alfred, Crovan, Vaggie, and Octavia. Meanwhile, thanks to recently turned double agents Splatter, and Dodge, the rest of the Island Of Sodor Really Useful Group (IOS RUG) are currently working on a plan to save them. A plan had been formed and thanks to some convincing from Rebecca to her uncle, Thomas was going to explain the plan to the rest of the tactical force, Scott, and Spencer.
Thomas: Wait, I'm going to what?!
Rebecca: Ok, hear me out. We are just as involved in this as they are, and this is the moment where we go and rescue our friends. If there is anyone to explain to the professionals how we are going to go in and not have anyone die. Then it's you. By the way, no pressure.
Thomas: … Yes… thank you, you mother fu–
Edward: Thomas!
Thomas: Oh, come on Edward. We've said that word before.
Edward: And many people were not happy with it. I prefer to keep all conversations peaceful but chaotic.
James: To which there is no such thing.
Edward: Shut it.
Thomas: You really expected me to go up to over 100 soldiers, and explain how to not die! You're bloody mental love.
Patrick: Well if not you then probably someone else, I am not in a position to explain a plan in my state.
Gordon: Me and the others will point at the board whilst someone here explains the plan. Along with providing the men with their equipment.
Henry: As you can see Thomas, there is no one else to do so to represent us but the person I'm talking to right now.
Thomas: But… But…
Toby: Thomas?
Thomas: I…
(Percy and Toby quickly sweep Thomas in a hug. Thomas felt a little better, but he was still nervous.)
Rosie: Hold on a minute. (Runs off and comes back a few minutes later with an old radio microphone on a staff.) This used to belong to my Grandpa. He gave it to me before I moved to the U.K saying it would give me confidence. It apparently worked for him, as that was how he was able to ask my Grandma out on their first date. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but it should do the trick.
Duck: Yeah, take it and add some pizazz to it. Like Starlight Express.
Percy: Give them a wheelchair?
Nia: What, no! Perform a song, you seem to be more confident when you spill everything that's on your mind through song.
Gordon: Just give it a try, we'll be right behind you.
Thomas: (Takes a deep breath) Alright. Let's get this over with.
(Thomas stepped up onto a podium, Scott and Spencer quickly gave him a thumbs up, he looked at the soldiers, and spoke into the mic.)
Thomas: Have you ever wanted something that was so clear in your mind that you could taste it?
Soldier 1: You mean like gunning down sick individuals?
Thomas: Eh, sort of
It's a feeling like a rumbling in your gut that you could finally be faced with
So many needy faces
I guess what I mean to say is, for the first time in my life
I might have to be ready for this
Ready to be the one who's leading from the front
Gotta come into my own
Gotta get into my bones
Gotta take charge and use the skills I've honed
And although I kinda feel unsteady
Now I need to be ready for this
Have you ever felt like you're willing to die to save the people of your city?
Soldier 2: By "Die, " do you mean use my 2-MT to split the rib cage apart?
Thomas: That's a start!
'Cause right now we need a leader
And it seems to me that destiny has picked me
To be that, if you'll permit me, (Spoken) so who's with me?
Wouldn't it be great to see more of this island?
Join up now if you like travel
Come on lads, hop in the saddle!
Lotta sights to see en route to the sick band
Not to mention the camaraderie
Yes siree, you'll form life-changing friendships
With the folks along the way
Geoffrey: (Smug) And have your egos fester up and feast
Thomas: Okay!
Soldier 3: You heard the kid!
Army General: I'm in!
Scott: Nicely said, Thomas!
Spencer: Tally Ho!
Scott, Spencer, and Soldiers: It's time now to act!
They're on the attack!
When they move to strike, we will fight biting back!
We'll follow your lead, we're eager to please!
Soldiers: We'll sharpen our wits for the James Bondly feast
Scott, Spencer, Soldiers: From this moment on, you can count on us
To be resolute and ravenous
Soldiers: Our egos all await and we're set to seize the day
So we say, oh hey, come join the blood ballet!
Thomas: Well, that's a little violent, can we tone it down?
Rebecca: Oh, don't be put off by their snarlin', (Spoken) that's enthusiasm, darlin'!
Thomas: Eh, they just seem a little murdery right now
Rebecca: Don't worry, honey, that's their thing
Keep singing
Thomas and Rebecca: We're super-duper grateful
To have you folks aboard
Soldiers: We can't wait to taste three devil's wings!
Patrick: (Facepalms) Oh, lord.
Thomas: For the first time in my life
Maybe I can be ready for this
I can be the marshal leading the parade
I can come into my own, and I think I've always known
My destiny could never be postponed
If Alfred brings the battle here
I must appear like I'm ready for this
Duck: They're dancing along
Diesel: They're singing his song
James: Surprised? Why, I knew he could do it all along
Gordon and Danny: He's bound to pass the test and go very far
Like his daddy, he is leading from his heart
(In the shadows) Splatter: He's filled with potential that we could guide
Dodge: Let's discuss!
Percy and Toby: Stick with us, you'll be on the winning side!
The IOS RUG: For the first time in our lives, we know that we are ready for this!
Becky: We'll show those boys a fight they won't forget!
(Gordon: Ah, ah, ah)
Soldiers: It is time to take a stand!
Thomas: It is time to lend a hand!
All: Huzzah!
Thomas: Against D10, and any of his deadly threats!
All: We cannot take it anymore
The time has come to go to war
Prepare to fight
We're ready for this!
Patrick: I really hope that we're ready for this.
Keeping Spirits High
Narrator: After Thomas explained the plan, as they said, the rest of the group handed the soldiers their weapons and codenames. But afterwards the IOS RUG were scrambling around trying to get all the gear they were going to need, about four minutes afterwards they were having another practice session to hone in the powers they had gained. However there was something… noticeably different about how the group was handling their powers.
James: (Hits a target with a blast of fire destroying it, but then falls to his knees panting and breathing heavily) That… doesn't… feel… good…
Thomas: James? You alright?
James: Yes… Maybe… No… (Coughs heavily)
Gordon: Good lord man, what's gotten you so sick? You have only been practising for 15 minutes.
James: (Takes a few seconds to catch his breath) I don't know, it was just like for a few moments I lost all of my strength. Then nothing. Anybody also feel like somedays you are sick for 4-5 hours but then nothing by the end of the day?
(IOS RUG nod their heads in agreement)
Ashima: Maybe it's best we all take a short break, maybe our sudden sickness is part of the stress for our friends' safety. We're pushing ourselves beyond what we are used to out of a strong desire to see them safe. And we aren't going to help them if we push ourselves too far.
Duck: Not a bad idea Ashima, come on.
Diesel: Come where.
Sans: Weel how come nae tak' this time 'n' hae a wild nicht oan th' toun? Ah ne'er git tae explore th' island fully afore. 'n' it wid be gallus tae learn aboot it fae mah mukkers.
Peckett: Um…
Percy: He's not suggesting drinking, just going to random places on the island and just having fun, like the good old days. And I think that's a great idea.
James: I'm with Percy, like it used to be. Before all this drama, it was just us having gold old fashioned fun!
Gordon: Tactful as ever, James.
James: Shut up.
Thomas: No, no, he has a point. Don't you want to save the others?
James: What kind of a question is that? Of course I want to, I'm saying that this is a good time for us to do what we used to do. Back before Thomas, and Gordon became all focused on their love life.
Gordon: And what exactly is wrong with being respectable with our partners?
James: Absolutely nothing, stop trying to make me sound like a bad guy when there are far worse examples out there. What I am saying is that you both have gone soft.
Thomas: We have not!
Duck: No, he's right. You two have sort of fallen off as of late.
Percy: Yeah, you both used to be cool. Now you are just mid.
Gordon: I can't believe this. Patrick, help us out here!
Patrick: Sorry lads. I'm with them on this one.
Gordon: Oh for the love of Lady!
Percy: And for another thing, I'm getting sick of all the random stuff that goes on this island.
Duck: Yeah, brainwashing pop stars, a whole bigger group from our already packed group, crazy new powers, our friends getting kidnapped by someone we have been fearing for years, travelling to the North Pole and meeting Santa Claus on a musical adventure basically recreating the Polar Express one to one with some minor details changed, mall attacks, revisiting trauma, parental issues, stuff like this has been happen constantly and I just want a year to be normal for once.
James: Well, hey. Even if stuff like this happens again next year, it will do nothing to four strong, tough and terrific boys like ourselves.
Patrick Amen to that.
Thomas: You're all strong, tough and terrific?
Patrick: We could be. (Swings a punch to a punching bag before falling to the ground and quickly getting back up) If we actually explored Sodor and didn't constantly spend time being some girl's play things.
Well you can, push us, shove us, turn us around but we're, no girl's toys.
James: You can tie us, toss us, upside or down, but we're no girls toys!
Duck: We sing our own sweet melody, we go our own sweet ways!
Percy: We won't beg 'round tomorrow for the kind of affection that was free today!
Patrick: Oh, you can squeeze us, tease us, say we're your own but we're no girl's toys!
James: Oh charm us, chase us, follow us home, we won't be coy!
Duck: You may not like it much, but we're our own best boys!
Percy: And not some sugar and spicy!
Patrick: Lacey and nicey, sissies you're gonna enjoy!
James: Oh, we're no girl's toys!
Nia: Oh, you four, are just terrible.
Rebecca: Regular huck fins.
Percy: Wouldn't you be? Being pushed around and squashed up by a bunch of girls?
James: You tell them, Percy!
Donald: Aye, Ah... Wait?
Douglas: Tell thaim whit?
Duck: What do you mean? Tell them the truth!
Nia: What truth?
Patrick: Too many girls!
Edward: Stop it! You'll hurt yourselves.
Patrick: Hurt nothing, we've been hurt enough. Packages landing on our heads, cute dates, dancing lessons.
Girls: You're just crazy!
Duck and Percy: We're no girl's toys.
Thomas: Maybe lazy.
James: Watch it, buddy.
(Patrick, James, Duck, and Oliver start wrestling each other, before looking at themselves in an old mirror punching the air before tumbling into somersaults and standing up in front of their friends)
Patrick: You say we're heaps of trouble, and we're for a fall!
James: But, no rag, no bone, no hank of hair, is gonna make us do what we don't wanna do at all!
Duck: So, you can squeeze us, tease us, say we're your own but we're no girl's toys!
Percy: Oh charm us, chase us, follow us home, forget it sweetie!
James: You may not like it much, but we're our own best boys!
Percy: And not some sugar and spicy!
Patrick: Lacey and nicey,
Duck: Sissies you're gonna enjoy! Oh, we're no!
Duck, Percy, Patrick, and James: Girl's toys!
(Spoken) Not us!
Narrator: First there was silence…
Then, everyone bursted out in hysterical laughter, people passing by on the street could have sworn Pennywise had actually come to haunt the island. (Ding) Light bulb! Now after the laughter died down…
James: No… No hard feelings between you two. This is just how we're coping with everything that has happened during the past two years.
Thomas: It's alright, I suppose a lot of that frustration could also be attributed to worrying for our friends' safety.
Patrick: Yeah, all of this is frustrating and stressful, the fact I'm still standing today is a miracle.
Edward: Yes, but we will get through this, together.
Gordon: We've been there for each other through thick and thin, and there is no way we are giving up now!
(Those remaining who were a part of the 13s hugged each other happy to be in each other's company. Those who were a part of the Starlight Express started backing off until…)
Donald: Och, git in 'ere ye lot!
Douglas: Ye ur muckle as a pairt tae th' squad as us. Yer in oor group 'n' we'll support ye a' noo 'n' forever.
(They quickly joined in the embrace.)
James: (Gollum Voice) You are our accomplices, you can't even if you want you!
Duck: (Elmo voice) We are like barnacles, you can try everything. But we'll never leave you!
(The group started laughing together, just as Spencer entered.)
Spencer: I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
Patrick: AH! Mother… Spencer!
Spencer: Oh, my sincerest. Patrick.
Gordon: What's going on Spencer?
Spencer: I came to collect you all, for it is time for the ambush.
Diesel: Right, c'mon everyone.
Thomas: (Does a heroic pose) Let's go and save our friends!
The Plan Was Simple
Narrator: The moonlight shone as the soldiers got on board the military truck, as the IOS RUG boarded they were quickly stopped by Principal Hatt, with a simple.
Sir Topham Hatt: Good Luck. Be safe out there.
Thomas: Don't worry Sir. We will be. I promise, I'll get Emily home!
Sir Topham Hatt: I'll hold you to that. I knew there was a reason that I sent her to your home.
(As the truck made its way to the old mill everyone on board started to mentally prepare themselves for the hellfire to come. As they made their way, doubt began to rear its ugly head.)
Samantha: One night more!
Another day, another destiny!
This never-ending road to insanity!
These men who seem to know our crimes
Will surely come a second time!
One night more!
Geoffrey: I did not live until today!
How can I live when we are parted?
Henry: One night more!
Gordon and Kara: Right now we are both worlds away!
And yet with you, my world has started!
Toby: One more night all on our own!
Donald and Douglas: Wull we ever catch up again?
Oliver: One more day for them we're waiting!
Thomas and Emily: I was born to be wi' ye!
Skarloey: What a life I might have known!
Geoffrey and Rosie: And I swear I will be true!
Peter Sam and Rusty: Hopefully we'll escape this hell!
Thomas: One more night before the storm!
Sir Handel: Do we follow where they go?
Thomas: At the barricades of freedom!
Duncan: Shall ah jyne mah brothers thare?
Thomas: When our ranks begin to form!
Rheneas: Do we stay, and do we dare?
Thomas: Will you take your place with me?
IOS RUG (Except Sir Handel, Rheneas, Duncan, and Patrick): The time is now, the night is here!
Patrick: One night more!
Alfred: One night more to revolution
We will nip it in the bud
We'll be ready for these school kids
They will wet themselves with blood
(Patrick: One night more!)
Crovan: Watch 'em run amok
Octavia: Catch 'em as they fall
Crovan, Octavia, and Vaggie: Never know your luck
When there's a free for all
Crovan: Here's a little dip
Vaggie: There a little touch
Crovan, Octavia, and Vaggie: Most of them are goners
So they won't miss much
IOS RUG (Except Sir Handel, Rheneas, Duncan, and Patrick): One night to a new beginning
Henry: Raise our flag of freedom high!
IOS RUG (Except Sir Handel, Rheneas, Duncan, and Patrick): Life again will be reborn!
Samantha: Life again will be reborn!
IOS RUG (Except Sir Handel, Rheneas, Duncan, and Patrick): There's a new life for the winning!
Sir Handel: There's a new life to be won!
IOS RUG (including Sir Handel, Rheneas, Duncan, and Patrick): Do you hear our people's song?
Patrick: My place is here, I fight with you!
Peter Sam: One night more!
Alfred: We will join these people's heroes

Patrick and Thomas: Tonight will not be far away
Tonight will be our judgement day
All: Tomorrow we'll discover
What the Gods in Heaven have in store for us!
One more time!
One more night!
One night more!
Narrator: A truck comes in sight of an older man with a claw in place of his arm, he quickly goes inside the old abandoned mill to let his 'friends' that the 'enemies' have arrived.
Diesel 10: They're here.
Henry: Huh? They are!
Rosie: Oh glory! Oh, we're saved! We're saved!
(The group cheer in celebration before being silenced by the wild snapping of a metal claw against the bars) ( TATMR Pinchy Sound Effects )
Diesel 10: Not until they die, first! (Leaves to find Crovan)
Rusty: Um, guys?
(The group finds Toby shivering on the ground, breathing heavily with a look of terror on his face.)
Henry: Toby! What's wrong, does something bad happen!
Toby: We… We…
Skarloey: Calm down Toby, tell us what's wrong.
Toby: (Grabs Oliver by the shoulders) WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW!
Oliver: Toby?
(Toby quickly turned to the prison bars and started shaking them violently. But of course, the constant shaking did nothing.)
Samantha: I want to get out of here too Toby. But with this stupid collar, my strength is useless against the electric shock.
Kara: Wait, Skarloey, Peter Sam, and Rusty have no powers, meaning they can look at our collars and try to deactivate them.
( Wamp Wamp Sound Effect ) (Wamp Wamp)
Rosie: We have been stuck here for 4 weeks by my count.
Invert: 'n' we cuid hae escaped 'ere AGES AGO!
Rusty: AH! Oh, Invert? You were kidnapped too?
Invert: Ah wis, bit ye didnae think tae blether wi' me!
Oliver: Sorry bud, you just sort of blended into the background.
Invert: That seems tae be th' trial wi' a lot o' us, seriously. Whin wis th' lest time that Ashima, Nia, Rebecca, me, or Sans hae dane something tae 'further th' plot' as it wur?
( SKULL TRUMPET [HD] )
Henry: We should really let you talk more.
Samantha: We can focus on giving Invert, Ashima, and the rest's character growth later.
Skarloey: Easy, the fourth wall can't take anymore.
Samantha: Whatever, do your stuff guys.
(The trio start working at Samantha's collar whilst the group of villains stood at the entrance, ready for the onslaught to come. But it was apparent that one was missing)
Octavia: Say, where's Master Alfred?
Crovan: He needed to complete a quick task. He should be joining us soon.
Diesel 10: In case he doesn't show, it's best we just hold them off. Don't outright kill them, just incapacitate them. We don't want to be the subject of a nationwide manhunt.
Vaggie: Whatever you say, Master Diesel 10.
(For a brief moment, the world was silent. What laid in front of them. Was the final peace. Before the storm.)
( Yelling Soldiers Sound Effect High Audio Quality )
(Within a minute, armed soldiers stormed the building, quickly taking down Crovan, but that was the extent of their success, for they were no match for the fighting skills of Octavia and Vaggie. Also Diesel 10 has a claw for an arm, need I say more. But as the soldiers distracted the villains, Thomas and his friends quickly swept by and made their way to the cage.)
Skarloey: There we go.
Peter Sam: That Crovan guy is a lot smarter than we gave him credit for. But he is no match for us.
Rusty: True, but still if they come back then things will get bad for us.
James: Then it's a good thing that we are here. Huh.
Henry: Oh thank the gods you're here!
Oliver: Can you?
Duck: James?
(James grabbed the bars and after a few seconds heated the bars, afterwards Samantha bent them to make a hole for them all to get out.)
James: Ha! Ha-Ha! That was the sickest thing I've ever done!
Samantha: Reggie! (Hugs her boyfriend very tightly, perhaps a bit too tightly)
Reginald: Um… Sam?
Samantha: Huh?
Peckett: Lungs.
Samantha: Oh, sorry. (Loosens grip but still doesn't let go)
Henry: James! Gordon!
James: Henry! (Hugs his best friend tight.) Good to see you again, bro.
Kara: Gordon! (Hugs her boyfriend tighter)
Gordon: Easy there, I'm here.
Kara: … Thanks.
Percy: You ok, Toby?
Toby: We have to leave! Now!
Geoffrey: (Answers whilst Rosie was hugging her tightly) What's up with him?
Oliver: Something's seemingly wrong. But Toby won't tell us.
Duck: Um, alright. How should we proceed with this?
Thomas: We can worry about that later! Oliver! For the love of God! Where's Emily!?
Rusty: Over here.
(Thomas looks inside the cage. Emily was shivering on the ground, her head laying on Rusty's lap. It was obvious by her skin that she was cold and sick, but the reason why was unclear.)
Thomas: Emily! Thank goodness you're ok. You look awful.
Emily: Thomas…?
Thomas: It's ok. I'm here. Now let's get you and the others out of here. (Rusty helped Emily to lean on Thomas' shoulder as Donald quickly came to get her other side.)
Patrick: Is that everyone?
Skarloey: We're all here Patrick.
Peter Sam: Now let's get the hell out of here.
Invert: That's th' easiest thing ah hae 'greed tae a' year.
Sans: Ye a' didnae keek guid, if we hud arrived efter we wid hae caught ye deid fauchelt.
Narrator: The pun was just what the doctor ordered, the group started to laugh. By this point Crovan had run off and an exhausted Octavia and Vaggie were being held down by the soldiers. However… the world stopped for a brief moment, a gunshot could be heard. Geoffrey quickly turned around. A bullet. Coming in the direction of Samantha and Rosie.
Without thinking twice, he ran in front of the bullet's path. Reginald turned, realising what his friend was going to do, tried to stop him, he had just started to pull his best friend out of the line of fire, when they both felt the bullet go through their chests. Within a second they started to fall to the floor, just as James turned around to see the display.
James: What The Hell!?
Patrick: Huh?
Douglas: Och Sugar Honey Iced Cuppa?!
Samantha: NO!? (Quickly runs to their side)
Thomas: Sir Handel, get your friends out of here now!
Sir Handel: Right away!
Rosie: Geoffrey!?
Percy: What just happened!?
Becky: I think someone shot Reginald and Geoffrey!
Henry: Sorry What!?
Gordon: Oh no!
Duck: Quick, get them out of there!
(Alfred stood there with sinister look casting over the scene)
Scott: Alfred Jullion Featherton! Put your hands up! You are under arrest by order of Her Majesty's Army!
Alfred: I shall do no such thing. I just wanted to talk with Seth here. Any interruption results in these students joining those two on the floor. Do we have a deal?
Spencer: I don't think we have a choice, Scott.
Alfred: Excellent. Now then Seth?
Diesel 10: Yes?
Alfred: I have been enjoying our partnership. Crovan and I can say you have grown to be a very good friend to us. Now I want to offer you an offer too good to refuse. Are you interested?
Diesel 10: Um… sure. I guess.
Alfred: Splendid! Oh-ho, I see big things coming your way. Yes indeedy. Now onto business, everything goes better with a song, don't you agree?
This way, good man, we've a deal to make!
I assure this is a good thing for all our sakes
We're happy to provide, but remember your side
Of a bargain I know you can't refuse to take
All I ask is when I boost your station
Remember who gave you this grand ovation!
If we call on you for a favour or two
Don't forget it's now your obligation!
Smile like you mean it!
Take a chance and you could seize it!
I'm sure you'll do just swell, you'll all be down in Hell
So come along with us and guarantee it!
Smile your way through it!
Grit your teeth and get right to it!
Forget the rigmarole and you can have it all
And make it that much better when we see you fall…
Diesel 10: Sorry what?
Alfred: Oh nothing, still not convinced? Well, why not take the word of a friend of mine? Crovan?
Crovan: They say you reap what you sow
And on this island, you should damn well know
That what both me and Alfred want, we're gonna take!
(Demonic Whispers: We're gonna take!)
The two of us killed greater evils
Shook the status quo in upheaval
So if you think you're gettin' outta this? Big mistake...
(Alfred: Now, now, sourpuss!)
Diesel 10: Stop screwin' around! This is takin' forever!
You always think you're real slick and clever.
Alfred: Yet I know what you like and what makes you tick, tick, tick, (tick tock)
Diesel 10: Doin' what ya want's just the cost I pay
Enough o' this shtick, we ain't got all day!
Just let me sign the thing so I can go ahead and kill these kids…
Alfred: In other words.
Smile like you mean it!
Risk it all and you could seize it!
Till we hear the bell, We'll all be down in Hell
So roll the dice and see if you could be it!
Smile your way through it!
Embrace the dark as though you knew it!
You can stand up tall, and act within my thrall
And we'll be there to watch you as you take the fall…
So what, our friend, whatever will it be?
We can give you what you crave, just not for free
You know what's on the line and this whole thing's on borrowed time
(Images of a war torn Sodor start surrounding Diesel 10 with the bodies of the students surrounding Alfred and Crovan with an open portal in the sky before everything is swallowed in black as the two smile with pure evil in their eyes.)
But you can trust the men who are wearing their one guarantee…
Alfred and Crovan: Smile like you mean it!
Take a chance and you could seize it!
I'm sure you'll do just swell, you'll all be down in Hell
So come along with us and guarantee it!
Smile your way through it!
Grit your teeth and get right to it!
Forget the rigmarole and you can have it all
And make it that much better when we see you
Smile like you mean it!
Risk it all and we can seize it!
Until we hear that bell, we're all stuck in Hell
So roll the dice and see if you could be it!
Smile your way through it!
Embrace the dark as though you knew it
You can stand up tall and act within our thrall
And we'll be there to watch you
Yes, we'll watch you
We will make you
Break you as you fall…
The Biggest Pain: Betrayal
Alfred: Wasn't that just wonderful?
Diesel 10: What even are you?
Crovan: That will be revealed soon. But the question remains. Do you wish to join us in creating a whole new world where we will be the ones in charge whilst everyone bows down to our almighty will!
Alfred: In other words, do we have a deal?
(Alfred extends his hand out to Diesel 10. He is about to shake it when…)
Patrick: Wait!
Diesel 10: What?
Patrick: I've got to know. Why do you hate me so much? As far as I recall I never did anything to provoke you? What's your deal with me? Why are you doing this?
Diesel 10: I want to keep the world safe, you are too dangerous to be out in the open with the power you possess.
Patrick: Sorry, what?
Thomas: Patrick, I think it's best if you back off a bit.
Patrick: No, no, What do you mean by that?
Diesel 10: Don't act like you don't know! I saw your little conversation with her!
Patrick: My conver… Oh, wait. You mean you saw… Oh… That makes… so much sense.
Percy: Pat, what are you both talking about?
Diesel 10: You haven't told them?
Patrick: I just wanted to keep them… (Sigh) Ok, I need to confess something to you a lot.
Douglas: Padruig?
Patrick: About two years ago, I had a chat. With Lady.
Gordon: As in… Lady in the Hills?
Patrick: That's right.
(The IOS RUG were shocked by the reveal. They had no idea that Patrick had talked with a literal god. And he didn't tell them)
Patrick: The reason I didn't tell you about it was because I wanted to keep you all safe. I thought if you found out, then you would go overboard trying to protect me, and you'd end up hurting yourselves. Because of me. I didn't want that. So I kept it a secret. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
Percy: Is that why Diesel 10 hates you?
Diesel 10: Yes, I saw him talking with her, I knew from that moment you were too dangerous to be out in the open.
Patrick: But I didn't get any powers from that moment. We just talked about an incoming threat to Sodor. Which I guess is Alfred and Crovan. And I don't have a reason why I have powers now. They just sort of, appeared out of nowhere one day. Honestly Mr Vin. I am no danger. I was just as shocked as you were.
Diesel 10: … Do you swear to me, you're telling me the truth?
Patrick: Yes! Any other teacher will tell you that I never tell lies. I may have when I was younger, but that was years ago. I didn't know better back then, but I do now. Please believe me! Please Seth!
(Diesel 10 turns his back, he goes to shake Alfred's hand, but then everything goes white, we see a younger Seth doing his job, which at that time was just a janitorial position, keeping the school hallways nice and tidy.
When Arry and Bert came up to him and left two piles of mud from the oval on the floor before leaving, laughing all the way. He sighed as this wasn't the first time they had done this. He made his way to the pile of mud before some voices caught his ears.)
Past Donald: Yi''ll need some hulp?
(He turned and saw three students observing him as he worked. Two looked sort alike, with horns on their heads, wearing identical black ties and blazers. The third didn't look anything like the twins. He wore a yellow tie and blazer and had a badge on the left hand of his blazer with the number 13 on it. He gave Seth a warm smile which took him aback.)
Past Seth: No, no, I've got this.
Past Douglas: Ye sure? That's a lot o' mud fur yin body tae wash up oan thair ain.
Past Patrick: Yeah, why don't we help you?
Past Seth: Oh, you don't need to do that. I don't want you to be late to your next class.
Past Douglas: Donnie? Ye think he didnae hear th' lòn bell?
Past Donald: Ah dinnae think he did Dougie. We hae time tae sgudal, Sae let's hulp th' laddie.
Past Patrick: Yeah, so what do you want us to do?
Past Seth: Alright if you are so persistent. If two of you can get three more mops, a sponge, and a shovel? Then the other one can empty out the bucket full of dirty water outside.
Past Patrick: Sounds like a plan. You guys get the extra supplies. I'll empty out the water.
Past Donald and Douglas: Wull dae.
(Patrick took the handle of the bucket full of dirty water, and made his way to the nearest tap as the twins made their way to the nearest cleaning closet. But before Patrick is out of sight.)
Past Seth: Hey.
Past Patrick: Yeah?
Past Seth: Thank you.
Past Patrick: No problem. What's your name?
Past Seth: Seth Vin Diesel.
Past Patrick: Ok then Mr Vin. Be back in two ticks.
(And after Patrick was out of sight, Seth smiled as put up the wet floor signs. Things go white again as we return to the present day, Diesel 10 was about to grasp Alfred's hand before pulling back.)
Alfred: Um, Seth?
Diesel 10: You both are sick individuals, at first I thought we were in the right and everyone we knew were in the wrong. But I realise my mistake. I was in the wrong, I was in a panic and wanted what was best for everyone, and I was kicked out of Sir Topham's office. I was angered that he didn't see what I did. I really need to apologise to him for that. We need to stop all of this, Vaggie and Octavia, Baz and Bernie, and the shooting of students just because they may have some gold dust in their bloodstream.
Duck: What?
Diesel 10: This has gone too far! And we should feel ashamed of ourselves for how low we got. I know I am.
(Alfred sighed, he knew that there was no going back for him, to him and Crovan, Seth was nothing but a post cause)
Alfred: Understandable Seth. Before you take your leave, I request that we hug in order to celebrate the friendship we founded.
(Going back to his old behaviour, Diesel 10 extended his arm. As they shook hands, Crovan blew a dart which hit Seth on the chest, he began to reel back in pain. As Crovan and Alfred cackled like mad hyenas.)
Crovan: You fool! You really think we're just gonna give up right then and there when we are so close!? What do you take us for, idiots?
Alfred: As for an explanation of what's happening to you, that dart is full of a modified lethal dosage of cyanide poison. Should kill you in a couple of hours.
Diesel: I mean, surely you saw that coming, right sir?
Diesel 10: I didn't. I truly didn't.
(Thomas and Gordon raise an eyebrow at Diesel 10's reply)
Diesel 10: Ok, admittedly this was not one of my finest moments.
Alfred: Which has led to the end of everything that everyone here has come to know.
Donald: Afore ye gang intae monologue mode, kin ye juist explain tae us wha ye baith ur? Fur we hae wee tae na speirins oan whit yer business wi' oor schuil is.
Crovan: Um… the hell did that kid say? I can't understand Scottish English.
Duck: He's asking you to explain what you are trying to accomplish.
Alfred: And why would we do that?
Duck: For you see, there are two ways of doing things. The Great Western Way, or the wrong way. Back on the Great Western Railway they had time to properly explain our way of doing things to those not properly educated.
Alfred: Oh, the tin pot railway.
Oliver: TINPOT!
Duck: WHY I OUTTA…
Percy: I'll hold Duck.
Douglas: Ah will hauld Oliver.
Alfred: Well, admittedly we lied a bit so Seth would agree to our help.
Crovan: We don't care about the school or Sir Topham Hatt. All we cared about was you.
Samantha: (Fighting back tears) Us?
Alfred: Well just the first 13, your group has become quite famous. Both locally and abroad. What we found interesting was your handling of Seth's first attempt to blow your school up. Mainly the fact that Patrick managed to survive the explosion. I must ask you, how did you manage that?
Gordon: As much as I hate to agree with him. He has a bit of a point. How did you survive? Surely the blast would have killed you considering you were apparently only 2 windows away from the bomb. How did you do so?
(Patrick just looked at the floor ashamed.)
Alfred: Exactly. The only plausible way he could have survived. Was if he had met with a god. We saw that Seth was 'right' as it were, and we decided to help come after you.
Crovan: That was until we heard that your little squad had gained superpowers. Now we knew that we needed to know what was making you all tick.
Alfred: Now that we now know that you all have gold dust in your bloodstream, we can use you to create the absolute perfect world. A world where me and Crovan are the only ones on top, everyone bowing down to our intellect and all mighty rule.
Ashima: You'd be hard pressed to try and make that here. Let alone the rest of the world.
Rebecca: How are you going to bypass countries who have nukes as their main source of defence?
Alfred: Oh you sweet innocent child. We aren't going to take over this world. We are going to make a new one from scratch.
Crovan: Everyone in the world will die from it. But hey, that will be a small price to pay for the new world me and Alfred are going to make together.
Henry: Ok, it's official. They have gone completely insane!
James: Like they haven't gone insane already.
Alfred: Now, if you will excuse us, we have a train to catch.
(Alfred quickly grabbed an old book and he, Crovan, Vaggie, and Octavia started dodging the fire of the soldiers. They jumped out a bottom floor window and ran to two steam locomotives being operated by none other than Baz and Bernie.
The first driven by Baz was an LNER B12 locomotive painted the classic LNER Apple Green livery, the second driven by Bernie was a Hayson Foundry Well T6ank Stunter in British Rail Black. The locomotives were already starting to depart, and by the time that soldiers got to the station they were already out of range.
Meanwhile The IOS RUG were figuring out what to do next with the Skarloey crew, Scott, and Spencer.)
Peter Sam: Will they be ok, Spencer?
Spencer: Rest assured they will be given the best care we can muster.
Oliver: Well we wouldn't be in this mess if Thomas was careful with his planning!
Thomas: My careful planning? You are saying that my plan failed? I'm not sure if you are aware, but it was obvious that it failed!
Oliver: Toby told you that something was wrong, and you ignored him!
Thomas: How was I supposed to know that was meant to be what he was talking about?
James: By taking things slowly, rushing the situation quickly got worse!
Percy: This is exactly what we were saying before! Crazy shenanigans this, Crazy shenanigans that! Yadda, Yadada, Yadada… I can't take this anymore!
Duck: We just wanted things to return to normal. Not turn into this.
Nia: Ouens, please. You're getting too worked up, we have bigger things to worry about.
Invert: Aye, thoose twa ur aff tae destroy th' hail world! We hae tae halt thaim!
Henry, James, Percy, Oliver, and Duck: STAY OUT OF THIS! THIS DOESN'T CONCERN YOU!
Gordon: EVERYBODY CALM DOWN!
Samantha: How can I calm down, when my BOYFRIEND AND BEST FRIEND are literally DYING BEFORE US!
Donald: C'mon a' body, Gordon's richt. We hae mair pressing matters tae attend to!
Douglas: Aye, a' body calm doon 'n' git a grip!
Sans: ... A've git nothing.
Donald and Douglas: Whit!?
Sans: Oi! Dae ye pure expect me tae joke aroond at a time lik' this? Is that a' a'm tae ye a'? Juist a traivelin joke machine!?
Douglas: Nay, nay, Sans, that's nae whit we...
Sans: Can ye stoap wi' cawin me Sans!? They ca' me Marcel! Marcel! Dae Ah hae tae spell it oot tae you!?
Donald: Laddie, we didnae mean tae offend you.
Emily: ... Padruig?
Narrator: Emily could see her cousin was not doing too hot, at any moment it looked like he could explode. She tried to call out to him, but her weakened voice was drowned out by the noise of the countless arguments. Until…
( Angry Man Scream - Sound Effect ProSounds )
(Pat screamed loud enough that the group turned to where the sound came from)
Rebecca: Pat?
(Pat breathed heavily for a minute or two, before grabbing a knife from Spencer's pocket and walking out of the building)
Diesel 10: Aren't… you going… with him?
Rosie: Huh?
Diesel 10: If.. I was… to guess… I'd say that he… was going… to fight… Alfred and Crovan.
Edward: Alone!?
Henry: Has he gone mad!? We haven't come up with a proper plan yet!
Becky: Did you even come up with a plan? Or were you all just arguing like the debate club?
Danny: Yeah! He probably got upset that you weren't focusing on something important. I.E The whole world is on the line. And went to deal with it himself.
Kara: What happened to no Sudrian left behind?
(Duck was going to retort, but quickly stopped as he could think of a proper argument.)
Emily: Well… if na yin else… is gonnae gang. (With the help of Rheneas and Skarloey she stands up and charges up her magic) Then… A'm aff… tae hulp him!
Thomas: (Quickly going to Emily's side) You both are gonna struggle with this if you do it alone. Let me help.
Edward: Make it two.
Henry: 3
Gordon: 4
James: 5
Percy: 6
Toby: 7
Duck: 8
Donald: 9
Douglas: 10
Oliver: 11
Invert: 12

(Door Opens and several people come in)
Salty: 35
Splatter: 36
Dodge: 37
Billy: 38. We are all here to help.
Gordon: Well, I guess the more help the merrier.
Thomas: I guess the IOS RUG just got bigger.
Edward: How about instead of IOS RUG? What if we called ourselves, The Sudrian Squad.
Salty: Dat sounds like a mighty good name, Edward me hearty.
Splatter and Dodge: Yeah! We love that name!
Skarloey: So, Sudrian Squad Leader Thomas? What's the plan?
Thomas: Hmm, Ok, here's what I got.
(The newly formed Sudrian Squad quickly gathered in the huddle to hear the plan.)
Sudrian Squad To The Rescue
Narrator: Meanwhile Patrick with some help from Bertie had caught up with Alfred, and his gang at Kirk Machann of the Culdee Fell Mountain Railway.
Patrick: Thank you for blowing my cover, dude!
Narrator: Oh, sorry man.
Alfred: Well, Well, Well, This is a surprise. Where's the rest of your little entourage?
James: Right here!
(Patrick and the villains turned to their left and saw the newly formed Sudrian Squad standing at the top of the hill, before quickly making their way to their friend.)
Henry: Sorry about before Pat.
Thomas: We're here now, Sodor is our home, and we'll defend it till the day we die.
Patrick: Glad to hear it. Now then, let's kick some Crovan's bum.
(Alfred, realising that they may be out matched. Quickly flicked through the pages of the old book he was holding before stopping at a random page and chanting in a demonic tongue, within seconds a portal opened behind Octavia and Vaggie. By the time the portal closed over 50 devils with wings and spears were standing behind the two slaves.)
Peckett: Hey Gordon? Danny? Oliver? Ready to kick a devil's tush?
Danny: Literally, the best question I have ever been asked.
Gordon: Just say the word Thomas.
Thomas: Wait.
(This was it. The final peace. Nothing would be the same, again.)
Thomas: CHARGE!
Narrator: With that signal, the group began to battle, it was hectic. Stupidly so. But the Sudrian Squad pressed on, for glory and…
Invert: Kin ye clam up 'n' let us blether?
Narrator: Oh, ok then.
Gordon, James, Henry, and Danny
Devils: IWEOEIORHFVEFXDASDUFYREHFYGH3FGYFI4UHFRH!
James: Anybody catch that?
Henry, Gordon and Danny: Nope.
James: Probably a good thing.
(One of the devils tried tackling James but was stopped by Samantha.)
James: You cheeky devil! You caught us blabbering!
(The devil lashed his tail, cutting some of James' red hair.)
Henry: Oh!
Gordon: Congrats, you won the ultimate prize.
Devil: ?
(James grabbed the devil by the neck and held it up to the sky)
James: DEATH!
Narrator: And with that James burned the devil to ash before tackling another as the four charged. Henry grabbed a metal fence post and bent it into the shape of a boomerang. Tossing it to Samantha who threw it sending several devils flying into the sky as the boomerang came to Danny who caught it whilst in the shape of a butterfly net.
Gordon then grabbed them in a tornado before flinging them to Invert and Sans blowing them to Diesel who had transformed into a cage keeping the devils contained.
Danny: Oh Yeah!
Gordon: Huzzah!
Henry: Nice one!
Samantha: Boys?
Henry: Huh?
Diesel: (Sarcastically) James.
(The four turned to see James burning every other devil still roaming like a wolverine.)
James: Go back to hell and BURN!
Devil: SNFDJBJHVRWIHSEJDWJVBHVREHFHRF… (Gets reduced to ashes.)
Gordon: I've got this.
Henry: Gordon, you mean we both got this.
Gordon: Quite so Henry. Danny, you and Samantha go and see if Toby has found Alfred and Crovan.
Danny: You the boss, man. Come on shella.
Samantha: Huh? I thought you were American?
Danny: I am, but I moved from Australia to Shining Time Station when I was 12.
James: DIE, DIE, DIE… Wait what?
Danny: You 3 go and check on Toby?
James: Right, come on you two.
Gordon: Oh you cheeky son of a cheesecake.
Henry: Nevermind Gordon. C'mon.
Gordon: Quite right.
Danny: Ha, it works every time.
Samantha: So, you aren't Australian?
Danny: I was going to, but my parents moved to the states a year before my birth. They were lucky to get a flight before the 2008 economic recession.
Samantha: You cheeky boy.
Becky: Yo, Danny. Need some help here.
Danny: On my way.
Duck, Oliver, Percy, and Nia
Devil: SUHSNDIADSAJSKIAFHUPWIHVFEDIGREOURYI!
Percy: Welp, time to act like Batman and the Justice… (The group of devils were squished by a giant metal foot.) Duck! Oliver! WTH!
Duck and Oliver: (Riding a giant replica of Mighty Megazord crushing several waves of devils.) GO GREAT WESTERN RANGERS
Nia: Well, it's best we still get what they haven't gotten to yet.
Percy: Um, yeah. Ladies first.
Nia: Aw, thank you Percy. (Quickly kisses him on the cheek before running at some incoming devils leaving Percy bewildered.)
Percy: I… Um… Woah.
Patrick: Sodor to Percy, Perhaps you should try and help Nia over there instead of standing there like a stocked mullet.
Percy: Oh… Oh! Right!
(Percy blasts his heat vision at several devils about to jump on Nia.)
Nia: Good timing.
Percy: Thanks.
(Nia quickly jumped into the air before coming back down as an orange Jaguar, and began clawing several devils down, both she and Percy soon began to get overwhelmed as more devils came coming, it almost seemed hopeless until a giant beam quickly blasted the remaining devils to kingdom, both quickly looked to see Emily panting heavily but happy she managed to help her friends before collapsing to the ground.)
Murdoch, Arthur, Billy, Salty, and Rosie
Arthur: So, question. And be sure to tell if I am wrong for asking this, but WHY are we not out on the front lines!?
Murdoch: Fur yin, ye hae bin thro' enough near death experiences fur a lifetime. 'n' twa, Thomas tellt us tae bade back 'ere tae treat they wha end up getting hurt. We dinnae waant anybody else tae end up lik' Geoffrey 'n' Reginald.
Salty: Gangway! Look sharp ye scurvy dogs!
(Emily get brought in being carried by Becky)
Billy: Explain what happened.
Becky: She used a lot of energy to save Percy and Nia before collapsing. The gold dust seems to be affecting her worst of all. (Sighs) I don't blame her, I have never felt so much pain in my life.
Salty: Don't worry me bucko, the lass will be looked after well with' rest o' me crew.
Billy: And don't worry. Once this is all over we will look into how to remove the gold dust from you and your friends' systems.
Becky: Thanks. (Quickly leaves to join Kara)
Rosie: (Talking whilst looking over Emily with her x-ray vision) How about instead of complaining? You both help us out here?
Arthur: Oh right.
Murdoch: Duilich.
Billy: It's ok.
Kara, Becky, Edward, and Rebecca with Octavia and Vaggie
Vaggie: This will be fun, getting to teach you weaklings what true strength really means!
Edward: (Talking whilst floating above Octavia) That makes no sense, for we already know what true strength is, the bonds you make with people, we may falter but we will not be pushed down and oppressed. For we are not just good friends. We're like a family. And you two still have the chance to join us and forget Alfred and Crovan. And join us, we will accept you with open arms. And you can return to the lives you once left behind.
Octavia: Stuff it Nerd! (Grabs Edward by the neck and throws him into the station building) You know nothing about who we are!
Kara: (Quickly webs Octavia and holds her down) That's quite enough! You leave Edward alone!
Vaggie: (Becky and Rebecca are holding Vaggie down as best as they can) Why should we? Honestly you all are pathetic!
Becky: Then why are we kicking your butts so hard right now, girlfriend?
Rebecca: Hold her steady. I've almost reached inside her mind, I should be able to turn her to our side.
(She attempted to use her powers to change her mind, but quickly found that there was something off about their brains she had almost managed to uncover what was driving their motivation when something hit her from behind and she falled to ground unconscious)
Baz: Oh no you don't!
Kara: Baz?
(Octavia gets free from Kara's grasp and gets her, Edward, Rebecca, and Becky down on the ground in front of them.)
Bernie: And Bernie!
Baz: We weren't about to let some of our toys get destroyed.
Becky: So you were behind Vaggie and Octavia's brainwashing!
Bernie: More like Hypnosis, like your yellow banana friend was about to find out.
Baz: We both trained and upgraded our hypnotic powers to transcend the usual stuff you see. We managed to get anyone who was at our hands to fall into a trance so deep that even when they are in that state they can do anything we want. Even if it went against their 'Moral Code'.
Edward: You both… make me sick!
Bernie: Too bad so sad. But admittedly we had never been able to do this.
Baz: In the states we used to be kidnappers for hire on the dark web. Until we managed to make a deal with Satan himself.
Bernie: He said that if we agreed to spread chaos upon the surface for him if we would be his slaves when we died.
Baz: We have sold several people under our spell. And the only way they can be saved, was if we were to die. But that's never gonna happen. Now, to bring you to the finer side of the battle.
Splatter: Wanna bet?
Bernie: Huh?
(The two turn to see Splatter and Dodge on the station platform in front with bats in their hands)
Dodge: He said you wanna bet?
Baz and Bernie: We heard.
Splatter: Ready Shady?
Dodge: Ready Vincent!
Narrator: They went to try and hit them, but started to slip on water that had sprayed from a burst pipe inside the station. They spun repeatedly and realising what they could do, grabbed Baz and Bernie and spun them back to the station sending them into the exposed and wet electric generator. Before falling to the floor close to the rest of the group. Baz and Bernie screamed in pain as the electricity coursed through their bodies until their charred bodies fell to the ground, never to get up again. Meanwhile with the group Vaggie and Octavia stumble in shock before collapsing.
Dodge: We didn't kill them too, did we?
Edward: Nope, more rather you saved them and possibly thousands more from a life of slavery and showed them salvation.
Becky: We must thank you, we would have joined them if you hadn't used your… uh…
Splatter: Clumsiness?
Becky: I didn't want to be rude.
Splatter: Don't worry, we've pretty much accepted it at this point.
Becky: Well, we would have joined them and became slaves if you didn't jump in and saved us and them. You are our heroes.
Dodge: It was nothing. Consider it our way of saying sorry for kidnapping your friends.
Edward: And we humbly accepted your apology.
Kara: Yeah, thank you bo… (Looked as Octavia woke up and her mask fell revealing her face. Kara could hardly hold herself. But just to be sure that she wasn't dreaming.) Kanya?
Octavia: I… Wait… Kara? Is that you!?
Kara: NO WAY! (Quickly ran to Kanya and hugged her tight whilst balling her eyes out.) I thought… you were dead!
Kanya: (Hugging and balling alongside her older cousin) I thought… I would never see you again!
Becky: (Trying to fight back tears) Well I'll be…
Edward: (chuckles) Wait until Gordon hears about this.
Vaggie: (In Irish accent) Ow! My head! I… Where am I? Who are you all? What… What's going on?
Edward: Calm down my dear. All will be explained in time. You will get the help you both need.
Splatter: Yeah, let's get out of here before any more demons arrive.
Dodge: (Picks up the unconscious Rebecca) I've got her.
Edward: I've got… Sorry, what's your name?
Vaggie: Bridget Coleman
Edward: I've got Bridget.
Splatter: If you all kindly follow me.
Becky: (Still trying to compass herself) Alright… c'mon you two.
Donald & Douglas, Skarloey Crew, Ashima, and Peckett (New Dangers Arise)
We turn to see Ashima and Peckett summoning different melee weapons and handing them to different copies of Donald and Douglas whilst the real Donald and Douglas are still trying to fight alongside their doppelgangers.
Donald: Ready Dougie?
Douglas: Ready Donnie!
Donald: Say, whit dae ye think th' rest o' th' world wull react tae whit we ur daein' here?
Douglas: Ah dinnae ken, ah suppose that a lot o' fowk wid freak oot knowing that hell is real 'n' th' world wis actually in danger o' bein' destroyed. Ah see a lot o' therapy bills in th' future.
Donald: For us or th' world?
Douglas: Aye.
(But soon more and more devils started coming, it became clear that they were gonna be outmatched no matter who fought and died. Two jumped at the twins before something hit them.)
Skarloey: Nice shot Duke!
Sir Handel: Students come.
Peter Sam: And students go.
Sir Handel and Peter Sam: But Grandpuff goes on forever! (Laugh)
Duke: Oh you scallywags.
Douglas: Noo juist whit dae ye a' think ye'r doing!?
Donald: Aye! Ye realise ye cuid actually git murdurred oot 'ere right?
Duncan: Hey noo, ye kept us safe, we're ainlie returning th' favour.
Rusty: Plus we'd feel mighty terrible if we didn't help you again, for old times sake.
Rheneas: Yeah, what he said.
Donald: Heh, ye a' ur crazy.
Douglas: Just th' wey we lik' it!
Ashima: Hey, has anyone seen Alfred and Crovan?
Peckett: They started heading up the mountain? Very risky move when a storm is happening currently up… at Devil's Back.
Donald and Douglas: Padruig 'n' Thomas!
Peckett: Quickly we must… (Smoke bomb explodes in front of them.) Ack!
Narrator: The group were disoriented before being knocked down by some devils, the smoke filled up the whole station and surrounding area. When the smoke cleared all the devils that were still alive had vanished. But a new more serious problem had arisen.
James: Now what was that… Where did Satan's minions go?
Edward: Very good question James, I'm still trying to find an answer myself.
Gordon: Is everyone safe and accounted for?
Percy: It seems that way.
Billy: Yeah everyone who was injured is still over here… and Emily's gone!
Sudrian Squad: What!
Nia: (Trying to stay conscious as Percy holds her back) What… do you… mean… she's… gone…
Arthur: Um, why are the clouds at the summit seemingly getting worse?
Murdoch: Howfur kin ye tell? They're sae far awa'.
Toby: No, he's right, it's getting worse. Thomas and Patrick are having a stand off against Alfred and Crovan at the summit with Emily being held down by devils.
Oliver: Then what are we all standing around for?! We have to go and help them!
Skarloey: Hold on, What's the sound? It sounds like… radio static?
The crew look over a radio that had been knocked from inside the station now down on the ground, as they hear the news.
Hank: Terror rains all over Sodor as demons from hell started to show up in the centre of Knapford, Tidmouth, Wellsworth, Crovan's Gate, and Vicarstown. We have Charlie Nove reporting live from Tidmouth. Charlie, where are you right now!?
Charlie Nove: I'm currently taking shelter in the Tidmouth Railway Shed owned by the North Western railway, as me and several other survivors are blocking the doors with many of the ancient steam trains keep the literal hellspawn from getting in and tearing us all to piece like one person I saw as I and my crew were getting in the shed.
Hank: How are your chances of survival lookin'?
Charlie Nove: To be honest Hank. Not good. The military are doing what they can, but they need some serious help. To quote Shrek 2, we need a hero by the end of tonight.
Hank: Alright, thank you Charlie, stay with us and keep safe.
Charlie Nove: That's literally all I can do, now if you excuse me. I'm gonna help these folks. Charlie Nove, Sodor Tonight. Back to you Hank.
Salty: Shiver me Timbers! We can nah jus' stand around here me hearties, we've got t' help those landlubbers!
Gordon: Whilst I agree with you my dear Salty, we can't just leave Thomas and Patrick alone up there for too long. They need help too.
Invert: A'richt, this is what Ah'm suggesting. We split up intae twa groups, yin goes 'n' helps th' cities whilst th' rest gang 'n' hulp oor friends.
Sans: I'm wi' him oan this, sae we'll heid tae knapford foremaist. Who's cmoing wi' us?
13s: We'll go and help Thomas and Patrick.
Peckett: You might need some help, I'll come too.
Ashima: Ok, that means the rest of us will go with Invert and Sans.
Diesel: Hold on! Peckett, why are you going with them?
Peckett: Because… It will give me a chance to prove myself. I need to do this. Plus, I don't want these 11 here to go through the same heartbreak three times over. I just want to at least soften the blow. Besides, I haven't gotten a chance to fight alongside this red guy here.
James: Glad to know you and I had the same thought.
Samantha: (Sighs) Ok, just… (Hugs Peckett tightly) Keep safe. Promise me that.
Peckett: Ok, I promise.
Edward: Ok, until we see each other again.
Becky, Danny, and Kara: Good luck.
Gordon: Thanks, we'll need it.
(With one last group hug the Sudrian Squad breaks apart as Kara, Becky, Danny, Invert, Sans, Samantha, Splatter, Dodge, Diesel, Rosie, Murdoch, Arthur, Murdoch, The Skarloey crew, Nia, Rebecca, Ashima, Bridgett, Kanya, Billy, and Salty make their way to Knapford, leaving the 13s and Peckett to join them in taking down Alfred and Crovan… Once and for all.)
It Went As You Expected
Meanwhile Thomas and Patrick, were expectedly getting their butts kicked. Hard. It didn't help that Crovan was turning out to be an excellent fighter. He was acting as distracting Alfred was carrying an unconscious Emily to the Summit and drawing a pentagram, looking like he was gonna sacrifice her to Satan.
Patrick: What!?
Thomas: Oh hell naw! (Gets knocked down by Crovan) Ouch!
Crovan: Haha! How do you like me now, boys?
Duck: Eh, not really much thank you!
Crovan: Wut?
(Finally the rest of the 13s and Peckett make it. And the battle continued… for a long while. But it became obvious to Crovan that…)
Crovan: Shut it God voice a like. Well, if I can't win normally, like all good villains, I will always revert to evil lesson 101… Cheating. Alfred!
Alfred: Yeet! (Throws a needle filled with a red substance to Crovan who catches it)
Crovan: Get ready to have your world rocked! (Jabs the needle into his chest, within minutes his body started to tense up as he reeled in pain. Before he stood up, throwing his hands out and catching most of the 13s in some sort of invisible grasp.)
Gordon: What in Sir Nigel Gresley's good name is this!?
Thomas: I think he now had telekinesis, that needle must have had someone's gold dust blood!
Patrick: So, we are flying right now, correct?
Percy: You got that right, Pat.
Crovan: Finally, now that you all have stopped squirming, I can finally take proper shots at you.
Narrator: Crovan proceeded to beat up the 13s, very brutally I might add. Crovan took great pleasure in making the students feel pain, when he came to James, He grabbed him by the neck and moved slowly toward the edge of the mountain ledge, possibly with the intention to throw the red suited student off the side to his doom. But he never got to do it, how? I hear you asking? Peckett, that's how, by hiding the shadows, he was able to avoid being trapped by Crovan's Telekinesis. But when he peaked round the corner and saw James near the edge of the mountain, he knew what he had to do. Quick as a jack rabbit. He sprinted to Crovan, quickly getting James out of his grasp. Before looking to the 13s, smiling and mouthing the words, 'Thanks for everything' before sending both Crovan and him over the side of the mountain. With Crovan dead, the 13s were released from the telekinesis bondage, but at a cost.
Thomas: WHAT IN THE NAME OF LADY JUST HAPPENED!?
Percy: Peckett… He…
Edward: He… sacrificed his life… to save James'... and ours…
Gordon: It took real courage to make that move.
Henry: He saved us all for sure!
James: Peckett…
Duck: And so falls a valiant member of our team.
Oliver: What are we going to tell Samantha?
Donald: Th' truth.
Douglas: That he gave his lee tae save ours, 'n' Sodor's.
Patrick: Farewell, dear friend…
(Alfred, back at the summit, saw the entire thing, and some fica to say. He was not happy about it.)
Alfred: You… YOU FIENDS!
Henry: You're one to talk!
Alfred: Silence, old square wheels! Now here's the deal, I have in this book a spell that can give your powers to me. Either you hand all your powers to me, or with one cantation you can kiss your Scottish girlfriend Goodbye!
Duck: Don't try to make fools out of us!
Percy: Yeah… You're just bluffing!
Alfred: (Flicks through some pages before stopping and begins to recite.) WHDEHVRWJSAEBFEIFICNVKKTJH6JG 0TMRJR HTR3DVGHYGUID ECJVEINKELKGF…
(As Alfred recited the cantation, Emily's eyes turned red and she began to shriek in pain.)
Thomas: Ok! Ok! You have a deal!
Oliver: Thomas!
Thomas: We can't lose her!
(No one said anything. It may not have seemed like it, but there were no other options, if they went and tried to save her, even with Gordon's speed, there would be no saving Emily if they didn't agree.)
Emily: (Slowly waking up and looking at her friends, quickly realising what was going on.) (Whispers) Don't do it.
Patrick: (Whispers back) We have no choice. (Normal voice) Right. Go ahead. (Shakes Alfred's hand)
Alfred: Excellent.
(Flicks through several pages before stopping. Then begins saying the cantation, Draining the 13s' powers from them like a vampire and sucking it in himself like a vacuum.)
OH, HO, HO, HO, HO, HO! Baby! That feels good.
Gordon: Pleasure to be of service.
Alfred: Now, to make that world we wanted, For you Crovan. (Starts to fly into the sky before being sent back down in pain. The group turned around to see Emily. Who had taken a knife left behind by Crovan, and thrown it at Alfred. Sending him down to the ground. His body lay limp, not even so much as a twitch.
Emily: ... Um, a'richt. Ah jalouse, Ah juist murdurred him. That... felt surprisingly guid!
Patrick: Emily! (Quickly jumps up before spinning around his cousin holding her tight.) You did it! You did it! You did it!
Gordon: A smashing job my dear.
Edward: Well done Emily!
Thomas: Yeah! That's my girl!
James, Henry and Percy: Nicely done.
Duck: Talk about the comeback of the century.
Oliver: I feel like we should have placed a bet to see if we could have done something and say, told you so.
Edward: Don't ruin the moment, Oliver.
Donald: Juist fanaibh 'til yer faither hears aboot this.
Douglas: Either he wull be extreamly shocked 'n' mad that ye teuk a lee, or be gey proud at saving th' world.
...
Donald and Douglas: Definitely th' seicont yin.
(The 13s celebrated Emily's victory, happy that the worst had passed.)
Patrick: Welp, no use staying here all day.
Toby: Indeed. We have a lot to repair.
Patrick: Now, let's Alfred's book and… (A piercing sound filled the area, Patrick stopped in his tracks, and quickly looked down. There, protruding from his chest, was a hole, the holes started to bleed as Pat collapsed to the ground. Quickly looking ahead, the rest of the 13s saw a smoking gun, as Alfred just laughed and laughed.)
Alfred: YOU FOOLS! NOW LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAD GONE AND MADE ME DO!?
(Henry, enraged by what the psychotic individual in front of me did, charged at Alfred, managing to send him flying off the cliff side as he just up into the air heading for the summit.)
Henry: You get back down here, so I can punch your face into the earth!
Edward: Hold on Pat. We'll get help.
Emily: Please, Please Respond!?
James: Come on mate, Say something! Anything!
Patrick: (Coughs hard before looking at his friends with a weakened expression) Guy… Guys?
Gordon: It's alright Pat. We're here!
Toby: We need to get him back down the mountain! Call Becky!
Oliver: She's not picking up!
Duck: Can we get him down ourselves?
James: It's too risky! He'll never make it!
Patrick: Guys… I… see a light…
Percy: (Puts his, Donald, and Douglas' heads above Pat's blocking the light) Is that better?
Patrick: Not really… (Coughs) I'm… sorry I… didn't tell you… (Coughs) about… Lady.
Thomas: No need to apologise Pat. We understand why.
Patrick: (Coughs heavily, this time spewing blood.) I… need to… tell… you all… something…
Toby: We're losing him, We're Losing Him!
Henry: Hold on, What is Pat?
Patrick: (Coughs) I… was scared… about… the other side… but… now… with you all… here with me… I'm… (Coughs) not… so scared… anymore…
Thomas: Don't talk like that Pat! We're getting you help!
Patrick: It… won't matter… (Coughs) They… won't get here… in time…
(Everyone stopped, Though they really didn't want to admit it. He was right.)
Patrick: Donnie… Dougie… Where… are you…?
Donald: Richt 'ere wee brother.
Patrick: Sorry… (Coughs) I… have to… leave so soon…
Douglas: Tis... Tis a'richt Padruig. It soonds silly, bit we dinnae waant ye tae lea us. Nae noo!
Edward: We all don't.
Henry: Despite how many times we quarrelled and bickered. We still love each other, especially when we are all together, I can still remember when we used to play pretend back when we were young.
Gordon: We have stuck together, through thick and thin, and this won't be any different… No matter how hard it is.
Patrick: … Thank you… (Coughs) All of you… I… was truly… blessed… to have friends… and brothers… like you…
Emily: (Pokes her head out and holds onto Pat's hand tightly.) Pad.
Patrick: (Coughs) Thomas… thanks… for protecting me… and Emily here… if you… end up… messing up… your relationship with Emily… I'll… have to… come and … (cough) Teach you… a lesson… myself…
(Thomas tries to fight back the urge to laugh)
Patrick: Emily…
Emily: Padruig… Please... Ah dinnae waant ye tae lea me! ah dinnae wantae be left alone!
Patrick: (Coughs) You're not alone… you have… Donnie… and Dougie… and you… have… the rest… of the 13s… beside you… and the rest… of our friends… you will… never… be… alone… (And as Patrick says those words his eyes began to close, and didn't open again)
Emily: Pad?
(No response)
Donald and Douglas: Pad!
(It was official… Patrick… had died…)
Percy: NO! (Quickly grabs hold of Toby, crying in his arms!)
(Gordon, James, and Henry, just stand there, though it didn't seem like… they did start to cry. For the loss of their best friend.)
Duck: No… It… It can't be…
(Thomas and Emily hug each other tight, tighter than ever before.)
Oliver: It'll be ok.
Gordon: He will be avenged!
(Gordon, James, Henry, Donald, and Douglas look up to the sky as Alfred begins his new cantation.)
Alfred: HDWUUOGEVI2PJRWNYRIERFEHVUOTEIRFHVHDRE DVFUEDFBRVUHVDJ FHVHRUGHEHFGERIDUFVBEJHDVUDEFHBWEYRU!
(And with that, a huge red portal opens in the sky, it swirls round and round and begins pulling animals, trees, buildings and people from down below into the forming vortex.)
Alfred: YES! YES! THE DREAM IS REAL! (Cackles Maniacally)
Narrator: Using the opportunity, Donald quickly climbed up the mountain, snatched the book from Alfred's hands, threw it down to Gordon, and the 5 started making a break to the summit station.
Donald: Gang! Gang! Gang!
Alfred: No! No! You come back here with that book! (Started to fly after them)
Henry: If you want it so bad!
James: Then come and get it!
Douglas: (Blows a raspberry)
Gordon: Tactful, Douglas! Tactful!
Douglas: Forgot aboot tactful! howfur aboot mair, let's git th' hell oot o' 'ere!
James: Now is really not up for this debate gentlemen!
Alfred: (Starts throwing projectiles at the five students) Grr!
The Call of the Starlight
Narrator: Patrick woke up in a place very unfamiliar to him. There were stars as far as his eyes could see, He stood up looking down at the starry path underneath him. Some fica to say, he was very confused.
Patrick: Damn Straight! Why am I here? I… Wait… (Looks at his chest which still showed the mark the bullet left on it.) Holy cow! I died… I… actually died! How come I acted so calm, that was so terrifying!
Voice: Patrick?
(Pat looked over to where the voice came from, and saw Peckett and Geoffrey standing close behind him.)
Patrick: Peckett! Geoffrey! (Hugs both of them before quickly pulling away) Geoffrey, I'm so sorry.
Geoffrey: Thanks, but it was worth it to see Sam and Rosie safe. Wish I could have told her that I love her before I went.
Patrick: Yeah, well. That's the thing with death.
Peckett: Are you sure? We could try and go back.
Patrick: You've got to be joking, right Peckett? This ain't a video game, we can't just respawn like nothing happened. When you die, that's it. Door's shut, the show's over, no refunds!
Voice 2: Yeah, I was super bummed when I found that out, my dad was comforting me for hours that day. And I believe you were the one to suggest that we play a game of 'Showtime' to cheer me up further despite my objections. That's the one thing I love about you, when one of us needs to be cheered up, you are always the first to jump in. A quality I admire about you. It was no wonder we are good friends.
(Patrick looked behind Geoffrey to see Eagle standing smugly before walking up to Patrick and hugging him. Happy that he's reunited with one of his oldest friends.)
Patrick: Winston… (hugs back) You have no idea how much we all miss you!
Eagle: I figured, but you have managed to continue on proudly!
Patrick: How did you know?
Eagle: Well, I'd be a rubbish guardian angel if I had not been keeping tabs on you.
Patrick: You're our guardian angel!?
Peckett: Actually, he's yours.
Patrick: wut?
Eagle: Hey, I was going to tell him that! But, yeah. It's true.
Patrick: So you saw…
Eagle: Yep.
Patrick: Including…
Eagle: Yes!
Patrick: That… just sounds too bonkers to make sense, that it loops around right back around to being nonsense.
Eagle: Yeah, but don't just take my word for it. (Steps back to reveal Patrick's parents, their son could hardly contain his excitement.)
Patrick: NO WAY! (Runs to the adults and hugs them tightly.) (Jeez, how many times have I told this story.)
Louis: That's mah son!
Michelle: We're sae proud o' whit ye'v managed tae dae. Sae happy tae see ye again.
Patrick: Good to see you two!
Geoffrey: Aw, ain't that sweet.
Patrick:( Pulls away and looks down, he looks down at the earth below him, where he could see Sodor was covered up by a large dark red dot.) But I guess it won't matter, not whilst the universe will end up being destroyed.
Peckett: Not unless you go back down.
Patrick: Honestly Peckett! What could I do now? I failed not only our friends, not only my brothers, not only your families, but the whole world! How could you come back after that!? Huh!?
Peckett: I… Um…
Patrick: Exactly, I've failed everyone on Planet Earth! No coming back from this one, we're all gonna die because of me! If I hadn't kept Lady a secret, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED! … I failed… failed… (Drops to his knees in tears as his parents comforted him))
Narrator: As Patrick sobbed, everyone heard the sound of a shirl steam whistle, they all thought it was a myth, but they could just make out the Starlight Express going across the stars in the sky.
Whisper: Starlight Express!
With encouragement, from his parents, Eagle, Peckett, and Geoffrey. Patrick stood up, walked to the edge of the platform, and yelled into the space before him…
Patrick: STARLIGHT EXPRESS!
Narrator: And as that happened, the Starlight Express appeared before him, and Lady and Burnett climbed out of the cab, Burnett quickly put his hand on Patrick's shoulder. Looking at him with a helpful, and wise smile.
Burnett: Only you have the power within you
Just believe in yourself, the sea will part before you
Stop the rain, turn the tide!
Lady: If only you use the power within you
Needn't beg the world to turn around and help you
If you draw on what you have within you
Somewhere deep inside!
Patrick: Starlight Express! You must confess
Are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me yes
I don't want you to go
Burnett: My boy, you're blind, look in your mind
I'm there, nothing's new!
Lady: The Starlight Express is no more, nor less
Than you, my friend, we are you!
Lady and Burnett: And you are only you!
Patrick: I am the Starlight!
Lady and Burnett: Have the power within you!
Geoffrey: v You can achieve!
Lady and Burnett: Just believe in yourself
Peckett: Anything!
Lady and Burnett: The sea will part before you
Stop the rain, turn the tide
Eagle: All the things you didn't believe you could do
Lady and Burnett: If only you
Louis: Yer th' Starlight
Lady and Burnett: Use the power within you
Michelle: Ye kin see it thro'!
Pat and Company: Needn't beg the world to turn around and help you
If you draw on what is deep inside!
Narrator: With that, a portal opened, Patrick gave one last hug to his loved ones, before approaching the portal. But not before turning back to Burnett and Lady.
Patrick: I won't let you down!
(Before going through the portal to the otherside)
Michelle: Wull he be a'richt?
Eagle: (Chuckles) I think he'll be just fine.
Lady: Why's that?
Eagle: Remember what Godred was saying yesterday.
Lady: You didn't…
Eagle: I didn't, he did.
Burnett: Welp, best to see if this can be rectified.
Epic Final Battle Time!
Meanwhile back on Sodor, Alfred was trying his best to get the book back from Gordon, Henry, James, Donald, and Douglas in an elaborate game of Keep Away.
James: Shake, Shake, Make me quake!
Henry: Make me quake until I shake!
Gordon: We will be really useful, that's what we were told.
Donald: We wull nae be fearful!
Douglas: We'll be brave 'n' bold!
Alfred: Enough of this! (Giant red tendrils come out of the ground wrapping around the five and the rest of the 13s) I'm quite sick of these silly distractions, mostly by you two Scottish boys. Say hello to your brother for me! (Two more tendrils lunge at Donald and Douglas ready to impale them.)
Donald: Welp, if this is th' end, 'twas an honour bein' yer twin Dougie!
Douglas: Likewise Donnie, (Braces himself) this is aff tae hurt.
(Suddenly a giant beam slices the tendrils in half, Alfred looked up as Pat floated to the ground his eyes were yellow and pure, his hair was yellow and shining, some might say he was a bit super in this moment.)
Patrick Gonna be hard for them to do that whilst I'm not up there now is it?
Alfred: Ho… How… You're supposed to be dead!
Patrick: That's what I thought, but apparently Gods just live children, first the King Midas' daughter, then the prodigal son's ungrateful son and now me. I'm not sure why they love us in particular, but that's just one of the questions I failed to ask whilst up there. Now, if you would kindly step aside and release my friends, we have some reuniting to do. (Blasts Alfred back to the cliff side before freeing everyone from the tendrils as Thomas and the rest came up running)
Donald: Blether aboot guid timing!
Douglas: Ye better nae friten us lik' that again!
Patrick: Let's see, Australian pride, check. Do I remember all of you and my death, also check. ! Wait, that sounded better in my head!
Donald and Douglas:
Gordon: NOW THAT WAS THE BEST SURPRISE I HAVE EVER SEEN!
Henry: You have no idea how much we are glad you are back.
Patrick: A pleasure to be back, but we can do the emotional stuff after we finish him!
Percy: Are you sure, we just can't arrest him?
Patrick: Whilst I love you for your innocence, Percy. 1, he is an unstable individual that can't be trusted within an inch of his life. And 2, He is too powerful and unpredictable to be out in the world. (A tendril goes after Emily before being stopped and sliced in half by Pat) I rest my case! But if we are to do this, we must all work together…
Thomas: All of us. (Points his finger to look to the sky, as Patrick snaps his fingers, and Eagle started to fall down to the ground)
Eagle: Man! I made the right choice making you the new leader.
Thomas: That makes 0 sense.
Eagle: Yeah… What was I thinking!?
Patrick: No matter, Winston. Now, let's do this. (Holds his hand out to Thomas) Together!
Thomas: Together!
Emily, Donald, and Douglas: Th'gither!
Gordon, Henry, James, and Eagle: Together!
Duck, Oliver, and Edward: Together!
Percy and Toby: Together!
Narrator: After the 14 students held hands, Patrick's super form transferred to the rest giving the 'super form'. They floated up into the air as Alfred started floating down to the cliffedge before he could finish completing the spell.
Alfred: No! This can't be possible! Your magic can't defeat mine! I destroyed the source of your power!
Gordon: Yeah, well. You live and learn, especially when you are dealing with those with a particularly strong bond.
Toby: Heroes always tell villains this lesson.
James: But you never seem to get it through your heads!
Eagle: And despite how cringe it may sound.
Henry: It still speaks a truth all too familiar.
Oliver: Come on! How many times do they keep telling you this?
14s: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!
Narrator: With that light surrounds its surroundings. To Alfred it acted like sunlight to a vampire. As for his book, it practically was burnt to ashes as the light shone onto it like a bullant being spotlighted by a magnifying glass. When the light disappeared, the sky was clear daylight, the portal was no more, and devils were turned into stone statues. Civilians… Wait, why am I telling you this?
(Sodor Tonight Intro)
Hank: The world has actually been saved! Thanks to the actions of brave students, going live with Charlie Nove at Tidmouth, where he is trying to get a few live words from some of the students that saved not only Sodor, but the world.
Charlie Nove: That's right Jenkins! I am here currently with Becky Ramirez, who helped in keeping me and many others safe inside of Tidmouth Railway Shed. Becky, how are you feeling right now, after saving the world?
Becky: Very tired but happy that we managed to help Sodr during that crazy experience. I wasn't even thinking about saving the world at the time, I was focusing on getting people out of the line of fire. But now… Holy crap! We just saved the world!
Charlie Nove: And we are all grateful for you and your friends' extraordinary abilities. Though, a few pointed out the shining light coming from Culdee Fell Mountain. Any thoughts on that?
Becky: Call it a hunch, but I think my group here wasn't the only one who saved the world.
Charlie Nove: Well there you have folks, we would not be here today, if it weren't because of the actions of these high school students, with hearts of pure gold. Charlie Nove, Sodor Tonight. Back to you, Hank.
(Meanwhile back at the top of Culdee Fell. The 14s' super form had disappeared, there was no sign of Alfred, and a sweet calmness filled the air as the students looked down at the rest of Sodor below.)
Duck: Oh my god, we just saved Sodor.
Oliver: Not only that, but the whole world.
(The 14s look at each other before they start jumping and dancing around for joy)
Edward: It's all uphill from here!
Alfred: (Panting as he climbs out of a pile of rocks with a gun in hand) NOT YET!
Patrick, Thomas, and Eagle: Oh, you've got to be F*ing with me!
Narrator: Alfred aimed his gun at Thomas, and quickly shot him in the leg, before pointing to Gordon, but just before he fired, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, looking down he could only see a bloody, rusty claw plunged through his chest like a chestburster alien from the movie of the same name. Alfred collapsed to the ground, as the 14s saw Diesel 10 very weak, he collapsed to the ground after Alfred, but before he died, he uttered the words…
Diesel 10: I'm… sorry… Pat… You… all… will… go… far… (stops breathing)
Patrick: Seth? Seth!
Donald: Let him gang Padruig, he's gone
Douglas: But he spent his lest moments tae redeem his-sel, 'n' pat that monster tae rest.
Emily: He helped tae save a' o' us.
Thomas: Thank you… Seth…
Eagle: Um, hello!? Injured Thomas here!?
Henry: I got you bud. (Help Thomas onto his shoulders as Edward patched his leg up)
Emily: Ah think we've a' hud enough excitement fur th'day, let's gang 'n' catch up wi' th' rest o' oor mukkers. 'n' git this brave, braw gentleman a hospital.
Eagle: You go ahead and do that, I have to get back to the stars.
James: Alright. (Hugs his brother tight) (That's the last time I;m saying that I swear) Catch you later bro.
Eagle: See ya little bro. (Ascends to the heavens.)
Gordon: Shouldn't you be going with him, Pat?
Patrick: I feel like I should, however, comparing how his body looked compared to mine, with his being all faint and shiny, whilst was just as I was before. I think I'm here to stay.
Narrator: And the 13s made their way down the mountain, with everything finally behind them, it would be smooth sailing from here.
One Last Thing
Narrator: Of course, with all battle, sacrifices have to be made, and the sacrifices that Geoffrey and Peckett made to save their friends would not go forgotten. A statue would be erected in their honour and placed near the front office of Sodor High.
Samantha and Rosie were understandably heartbroken after losing two of their close friends, one of which was Rosie's boyfriend. But James' therapist did very well in helping the two to move on. They were also very glad when Reginald made a full recovery.
James' therapist was very busy over the past few months, seeing many of the Sudrian Squad who understandably were very traumatised after fighting literal demon creatures from hell, and hearing and witnessing Patrick's short death. But like with Sam and Rosie, they managed to help them to come to terms with what happened and move on as well.
5 months later all members of the Sudrian Squad were given O. (Order of the British Empire, that's why David Attenbourgh is referred to as Sir) for their heroic efforts, with Splatter and Dodge being given a Royal Pardon absolving them of all their crimes. Afterward the two would go on to form a travelling circus act using their clumsiness to their full potential.
But of course, with Diesel 10 being no more than 6 feet under, there was no need for Emily and the McIntosh brothers to stay at the Brighton residence. So 2 weeks after Alfred's attack, Jeff the Butler helped the Hatt's butler to load their belongings into their car home, meanwhile the Brightons were in the shed, saying their last goodbyes.
Thomas Sr: We shall miss you.
Patrick: Likewise.
Donald: Cheers fur letting us bade 'ere.
Molly: It was no problem at all. Hope you all have a safe trip home.
Annie: Here, we made this for you four.
(The brother looked at the drawing, it was a crayon drawing which could clearly be seen as drawn by Annie and Clarabel, it was a recreation of the Brightons, McIntosh brothers, and Emily at Ulfstead Castle after Thomas' outlash. All things considered, for 6 year olds, the picture was very well done.)
Douglas: Och bless ye, we'll be sure tae hing this in oor room.
Clarabel: Say, where are Emily and Thomas? … Jr?
Patrick: I think they went to go and say goodbye over in the room we stayed in together.
(We pan to the room to see that Pat was correct. Emily and Thomas were hugging each other in the same room that Pat and Emily stayed in together. Patrick, Donald, and Douglas soon entered.)
Douglas: Awright ye twa, ah dinnae mean tae interrupt ye, bit...
Donald: We hae tae git gaun noo!
Emily: We ken.
Patrick: Chin up you two, we're always welcome to come and visit, not to mention we'll all end up seeing each other at school anyways.
Thomas: Yeah, you're right. But it won't be the same.
Patrick: I know bud. I know.
Emily: Weel, cheers fur everything Thomas. 'til we see ilk ither again. (Starts to leave, before quickly running back to Thomas and kissing him square on the lips)
(Thomas is shocked at first but soon relaxes and joins in the embrace.)
Patrick: Aw. That's nice. Ain't it?
(After that, The four enter the car and begin to drive away to home. When they get home, they get a big welcome home from Sir Topham and Lady Hatt. But as the night came and they were all in their beds, they turned to the night sky, walked up to the windows and smiled, as the rest of the Sudrian Squad were doing the same they all thought back to the past two years. And smile with pride for what they managed to accomplish.)
Thomas: Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Patrick: Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of Auld Lang Syne
Donald: Fur Auld Lang Syne, mah dear
For Auld Lang Syne
Douglas: We'll blether a cup o' kindness yet
Dor days o' Auld Lang Syne
Gordon: And here's a hand, my trusty friend
Henry: And there's a hand of thine

Gordon, Henry, and James: For Auld Lang Syne
Emily: Fur Auld Lang Syne, mah dear
Kara: For Auld Lang Syne
Becky: We'll talk a cup of kindness yet
Danny: For Auld Lang Syne
Percy: When family cannot be here
Havin' journeyed far and wide
Toby: We sing a song to honour them

Oliver: So take your cup and raise it high
Just as surely I'll do mine
Duck: And laugh we will at stories told
As we smile at days gone by
As we smile at days gone by
Edward: For family not here, my dears
Havin' journeyed far and wide
Eagle: For loyalty and kindness both
We smile at days gone by
Samantha: Our paths will cross again one day
Reginald: In time to reunite
Peckett: For family is always near
Samantha, Reginald, and Peckett: Even when the seas are wide
Geoffrey: So take your cup and raise it high
Just as surely I'll do mine

Geoffrey, and Rosie: As we smile at days gone by
Splatter: For family not here, my dears

Salty: Shall auld acquaintance be forgot

Skarloey Crew: For Auld Lang Syne, my dear
For Auld Lang Syne
We'll talk a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne
All: For Auld Lang Syne, my dear
For Auld Lang Syne
We'll talk a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne
Narrator: We see the Sudran Squad on a pier looking on to the sunset, ready for whatever comes next, in their lives. The En…
Eagle: Woah, woah, woah, hold on there Burnett! You really think that's the end?
Burnett: (Voiceover) Um, yes? What, do you have a better idea?
Eagle: Yeah, why not have one of them big finale gospel numbers? People love that kind of stuff, plus we get to see how Starlight Express can be performed with Wheelchairs.
Burnett: Hmm, You know what, not a bad idea Winston!
Eagle: Hit It!
(We switch to a stage, as the 14s and the rest of their friends perform their show, Starlight Express: Wheelchair Edition.)
Gordon: You could be converted
Diesel: Whaddya mean
Gordon: Rebuilt, with a new & better form of power
James: You mean i could be converted to steam
Gordon: Sure could
Percy: And with steam you'd be under your own control
Annie and Clarabel: Engines must obey control!
Engines must obey control!
Do what you're told!
Cast and Crew: Shut it, control!
Gordon: Diesel is for unbelievers
Electricity is wrong
Steam has got the power that will pull us along
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Edward: There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Edward and Gordon: The inside might be as black as the night
But there's a light at the end of the tunnel
Cast and Crew: There's a light at the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
But at the end of the tunnel there's a light
Gordon: It's the power of James Watt, the steaming Scot
Kara: The man who watched the pot
And said "hey, i've got a brilliant plot
When the steam is hot
It seems to make a lot of power"
Percy: It could turn a wheel

Stay tuned for a preview for my new series
Narrator: The man entered the works, and immediately saw the new engine, the engine slowly opened its eyes, quickly looking around his surroundings, they started to breathe heavily, scared of his new surroundings.
Man: Easy, Easy! It's alright, young one. Ok, here's the just of it mate. You are a new engine built here at Swan Hill, along the Murray River. You are a steam locomotive built to pull heavy goods and on occasion people like me who are called passengers. I am your Chief Mechanic Engineer, and the one who designed you, Jefferson Michaels, or Jeff for short.
Narrator: The engine calmed down, and tried to reply, but when he tried to talk with his voice but immediately stopped wincing back in pain.
Jeff: I wouldn't try that if I were you young lad, see as a new engine you need to let your body get used to its parts, including your voice. Which will be painful for a few days, but you should be able to start talking. Don't ask me why, you engines confuse me at times. So just trying to communicate by blowing your whistle using morse code. No worries, I'll teach ya. But let me ask you something. Are you ready to do your best and help out wherever you can?
Narrator: The engine smiled and blew his whistle before fading to black.
