It was a nice day on the Island of Sodor in the Conjoined dimension (Pokémon, Cardcaptors, Sirens, Digimon, and Magic Railroad). Trains were bustling about on the tracks and it was sunny out. However, something special would happen as a purple energy portal opened, and the King Mecha of Braves...GaoGaiGar arrived from the portal easily. He switched off his thrusters on his jet boots, and landed on the ground safely.
Carefully, he set Twilight down on the ground. “Welcome, Twilight Sparkle...” The mech said. “...to your new home.” He scanned the new dimension for any signs of danger. So far, nothing as she was perfectly safe.
“Well, I gotta go check the multiverse to see where the rest of your friends are.” GaoGaiGar said as he switched his thrusters on. “Good luck, Twilight. Take care!” He jumped up, and took off for the Multiverse space, as he went through the portal, which closed up after he went through it.
After he left, the hot air hit Twilight’s cheek. A few moments later, she woke up and was surprised at what she saw. She sure wasn’t in Equestria. That’s for sure! But, she WAS on an island. She looked around, and saw lush green hills and tunnels as well as a few train tracks. She sure was confused as to where she even was.
“Hello? Where am I?” She asked upon looking at the area. “What is this place?” She slowly got up on her hooves and walked around the area. She smiled upon seeing this area, and wondered if this was a part of her former world that she never explored. She smiled as she breathed while the hot air hit her chest, and trotted along the countryside. She could get used to all this.
However, it would get a little abrupt for her as somehow...she poked her head in a nearby hole. She guessed it was a critter hole, as she whispered. “Hello, my little friends. Spring is here.” She smiled to see what would come out of the hole. Much to her surprise, though...it was a litter of Dedenne Pokémon that popped out of the hole.
Twilight quickly retracted her head in fear, thinking they were porcupines. “Gah! Porcupines! Porcupines!” She screeched, as she backed away, not knowing that she went into another hole that had wild Ribombees, whom she thought were bees. “BEES!” She screamed as she ran out. Unfortunately, she wasn’t looking as she turned and ran RIGHT into a tree, to which at that moment, a hive filled with Araquanids landed on her head.
Twilight was further horrified at the fact that she thought they were spiders! “(Bleep!)” she immediately screamed, as she ran into a different hole and Mimikyus approached her. She screamed again as she ran out, and stumbled on a rock as a result of her not looking where she was going! She tumbled onto a hill, and rolled down onto some railroad tracks. As the pony got up, she felt dizzy and tried to get her bearings on where she even was.
In the Island of Sodor, every railroad had its heroes. Meet Thomas, a blue tank engine with the number ‘1’ on his sides. He’s the island’s #1 hero! This island was where Thomas and his friends lived, which was at one end of this special conjoined dimension. Thomas was chugging alongside the railroad tracks getting to the station, not knowing that his life was about to change unexpectedly.
As Twilight collected her bearings, she saw a train on the railroad tracks coming right towards her. Her eyes widened in shock upon seeing him, and screamed, as she braced herself in her wings. The train inched closer and closer to her, and she was shocked. However, what surprised her all of a sudden was when the train suddenly stopped. Twilight’s ears perked upon hearing it stop, and the fact that she heard the train’s whistle. Slowly, she unfurled herself from her wings and was shocked to see a train with a face on it.
The train had a shocked look on its face, as it was surprised to see the lavender creature on the ground, quivering in fear. “Cinders and Ashes!” It said. “A winged pony on the tracks!”
Twilight was surprised to see him and gasped. “You can talk!” She said in amazement. “I’ve never seen a train talk.”
Thomas chuckled. “Neither have I seen a pony talk either!” He said, as she chuckled. “But, it’s surprising to see someone like yourself here. I’m Thomas.”
“Glad to meet you, Thomas.” Twilight said, smiling. “I’m Twilight Sparkle.”
Thomas was surprised as he heard that name. “Twilight Sparkle?” He asked. “The Princess Twilight Sparkle?!”
She chuckled. “Yep. She’s the one!”
“Well, I’d never thought I’d see you here.” Thomas said happily. “What were you doing on the tracks?”
Twilight blushed. “Oh, well I was running away from some rabid porcupines, bees and spiders.” She explained. “They were really creepy looking.”
“Oh, well that’s new to see.” Thomas said, as he sounded his whistle. “Come on! I’ll take you to the sheds, where my friends are!”
Twilight beamed. “You have friends here?!” She asked.
“I sure do!” Thomas said. “Hop on!” Twilight wasted no time in hopping on Thomas as he chugged away towards the Sodor sheds to see his other train friends.
Thomas chugged along to the train station, as he passed the hills along the way. Needless to say, Twilight was enjoying it. She took in a deep breath, and enjoyed the fresh air, as it was a nice ride to enjoy. Eventually, they reached the station right by another blue train, who was a little grouchy, as they arrived.
“Counting your numbers, Gordon!” Thomas said happily. “That’s a pretty good engine.”
The other blue engine...Gordon merely snorted. “I was just counting how many seconds late you are.” He simply stated. “What does that sign say?”
Twilight flew up to the sign and read it. “Sodor Railway: Really reliable, and right on time.” she said, as she turned to Thomas, smiling as he smiled back at her too.
“Signed head of the railway...Sir Topham Hatt” Thomas finished.
“Sir Topham Hatt?” Twilight asked, confused.
“Oh, he’s the head of the railway at the Island of Sodor.” Thomas answered, as Twilight cocked her head again. “The island where you are right now.” Twilight understood now, as she nodded.
“Well, you and your friend weren’t on time today.” Gordon told them.
“And you’re being bossy, Gordon.” Thomas said, jokingly. “Now, if you’ll excuse us, Twilight and I are visiting Mr. Conductor today, and he’s looking after us, while Sir Topham Hatt take a much needed vacation.”
Gordon just scoffed. “Oh, I think we can take care of ourselves.” He said.
“Sounds like somepony is being a little grumpy.” The alicorn joked.
“Oh, please it’s not like YOU’RE the boss around here!” Gordon scoffed. Twilight gasped, as she retracted her wings, stammering for a comeback.
“Don’t worry, Twilight. I’m sure Gordon is a little grumpy.” Thomas said to her. “I’m sure he lightens up later on.”
“Unlike somepony I know.” Twilight said from under her breath. However, all that silence would be interrupted by a diesel train coming right up to them unexpectedly.
The diesel train zoomed past them, leaving a cloud of smoke. “GET OUT OF MY WAY!” He shouted. “I have unfinished business, and I want to finish it fast!” He zoomed towards the sheds.
Gordon was startled as he wriggled nervously. “The Diesel 10’s back!” He said in shock, as he groaned.
“Who’s Diesel 10?” Twilight asked in confusion.
“Only the 10 out of 10 engines.” Thomas told her. “With devious deeds and brutal strength! He’s a blast from the past who hates steam engines!”
“At least I wouldn’t hate you!” Twilight said, as she hugged him.
“Yes...it seems that maybe we could use your friend, and Mr. Conductor here after all.” Gordon said nervously. “Just get to the sheds.”
“Come on, Twilight.” Thomas said. “I’ll take you to meet the others.”
“That sounds great.” Twilight said, as she rode on Thomas as he took off for his friends. As he chugged along, Twilight was wondering about something, ever since she was flung through the multiverse space. I wonder where MY friends are, right now. she wondered. She would find them soon.
Right now, she just met a talking tank engine, and she was about to meet his friends. She could also only wonder WHAT Diesel 10 was planning. Whatever it was, it couldn’t be good.
