//------------------------------// // Thomas And Percy The Tank Engines // Story: Super Dream Team: The Adventure Begins // by Lawton //------------------------------// That afternoon, Twilight, Ash, and Mikey we’re back in the yard. So were Tracy and Edward. The trio were tired out after their wild ride down Gordon’s hill. “Boy, I feel like I’ve deflated like a balloon.” Moaned Twilight. “Eevee Vee.” “I’m all out of gas.” Moaned Ash. “Pikachu.” “Me, Too.” Replied Mikey. “I could use a break from that crazy ride.” Panted Shoutmon. Just then, They heard a voice they’ve never heard before. “Hold up. I hear someone.” Said Twilight. “Sir Tophom Hatt’s new engines!” Gasped Edward. “Wait! I know that voice!” Gasped Ash as he and Pikachu ran to the yard. Twilight, Eevee, Guilmon, Mikey, and Shoutmon followed them. “Hey, Tracy, I know you’re here!” Then, Ash and Pikachu stopped. “Ash, Pikachu, Hold your horses, Man!” Panted Shoutmon as he stopped. Twilight, Eevee, and Guilmon saw the new engines and couldn’t believe it. One of the new engines has six small wheels, a short stumpy boiler, a short stumpy dome, and a short stumpy funnel. “That's why I always wanted to come here. I….” He noticed Twilight, Ash, Mikey, and their Pokémon and Digimon partners staring at him. “Hello? What's the matter? Do I have soot on my face?” “No!” Gasped Twilight. “Well, Thing is….. You see…..” “It's just... well... You're not a big engine.” Said Edward. “Yes, I am.” Replied Thomas. “No you’re not!” Laughed James. “Pop! Pop!” “Well, I was big enough to do my own work on the Mainland.” The six wheeled tank engine explained as he puffed away. “Wait! Wait!” Called Edward. “All I meant was you're not as big as I am.” “I might not be as big as you. But I'm very hard working.” Said the smaller tank engine. Just then, Kiawe, Roger, and Gordon arrived. “And who are you?” Chuckled Gordon. “I’m Thomas.” The little tank engine answered. “And I’m Percy.” Said the other. “The New Engines.” Added Twilight. Everyone noticed her. “Aww! Aren’t you the cutest?” Thomas asked. “Ye-Yes.” Blushed Twilight. “My name is Twilight Sparkle and these are my partners, Eevee and Guilmon. Say hi.” “Eevee Vee.” “Nice to meet you.” Said Guilmon. “Oh dear. Sir Topham Hatt must have made a terrible mistake. I think he was expecting someone Really Useful.” Insulted Gordon. “Knock it off, Gordon.” Said Kiawe. “We are Really Useful.” Scowled Thomas. “Ha! For fetching coaches, perhaps.” Whistled Gordon. “Oh well. If you two stick around long enough, you might be lucky enough to see me pulling the express. That will a fine sight for you.” “Sorry about Gordon, Thomas. I'm afraid he's often like that. I'm Edward, by the way.” Said Brian. “My name is Sophocles and this is Togedemaru.” Reminded Sophocles. “Demaru!” “Hi! My names Lana and here’s Popplio.” Said Lana. “Popplio.” “The names Julio, if you ask.” Said Julio. “My name is Psychemon.” Added Psychemon. “And I’m James.” “Hello, Hello, Hello!” Called a voice. “And here comes the boss...” Said James “Sir Tophom Hatt!” Finished Edward. “Oh. You must be Thomas and Percy, my new tank engines. Welcome to Sodor. I am Sir Topham Hatt.” The man in the top hat introduced. “Pleased to meet you.” Said Thomas. “Sure is.” Replied Twilight. “Vee. Eevee?” Then, came a moment of silence. “Sir. You’re supposed to call him sir.” Whispered Edward. “Oh!” Puffed Thomas. “Pleased to meet you, Sir.” “I'm very pleased to meet you too.” Said Sir Tophom Hatt. “Now, as you can see, I'm a very busy man and this is a very busy railway, so I expect you to make yourselves Really Useful right away. Tracy, Brian, and Edward will show you what to do.” He then left. But, Tripped. “Oh. Yes. Really Useful. Carry on. This way, lads. Oh.” Everyone laughed. Soon work began in the yards. Thomas started off by reversing to the coal hopper to fill his bunker with coal. The coal pours into Thomas' bunker. But, it makes him cough. Thomas puffed up behind Gordon, who groans and rolls his eyes. Then scene then cuts to Thomas and Edward puffing together but Thomas bumps into Edward. “Oops! Sorry!” Called Thomas as he reversed and accidentally bumped into some trucks in a siding. “Whoa, Thomas! Watch what you’re doing.” Moaned Twilight. “Eevee.” Later, Edward brought Gordon his coaches as Thomas puffed ahead. “Oh, that's very useful, isn't it? Having another small engine to get in the way.” Moaned Gordon. “He's still learning, Gordon. Sophocles, Roger, and Edward are just showing him and Percy what to do.” Said Ash. “Pika Pikachu.” Twilight then noticed thomas passing a red signal as Gordon left the station. “Thomas!” She cried. “Uh oh!” Gasped Thomas as he stopped just in time as a big green tender engine rolled by with his goods train. “You need to watch for a red signal before you stop.” Said Mikey. “Sorry.” Chuckled Thomas. Later, Thomas chuffed into Knapford, Pushing some coaches. The passengers smiled. But, One asked….. “Ugh…. Aren’t we supposed to ride James?” “Huh? But, Where is James?” Thomas asked confused. “He’s right here!” Cried Lana from ahead of Thomas. James was puffing towards Thomas! “Get out of the way!” He screamed. Thomas reversed back as James steamed into Knapford.
