Thomas and Twilight: Heroes of the rails

by 4804255858ARD

The streak of silver and the showdown of strength

It was the start of summer on the magical island of sodor. The sun shone and the birds sang. The engines were hard at work. Sodor is a beautiful island which is filled with adventure, magic, and friendship. The characters we are focusing on is the steam team and the mane 8. One day Thomas was getting a drink of water from the water tower with the help of his driver Twilight Sparkle, and her dog Spike. They felt really happy. When suddenly there was a whistle and a wheesh and a clackity-clack, as a streak of silver roared by on the track. This startled Thomas, Twilight and Spike.

"Fizzling fireboxes! What was that Twi?" asked Thomas

"I don't know Thomas but this could mean trouble." Twilight replied

And Twilight was right all over sodor the steam team and the mane 8 were blasted and blustered on the tracks.

"Bubbling boilers!" exclaimed Henry and Fluttershy

"Bust my buffers!" Percy gasped

"Confetti and cupcakes!" Pinkie Pie shouted

"Watch my paintwork!" snapped James

"And watch my hair ruffian." scolded Rarity

"Trembling tracks! Who was that Starlight?" asked a surprised Emily

"I don't know, Em." answered Starlight who was just as confused

"Gosh!" called Toby who went into a siding while Henrietta went along the main line.

"What in tarnation was that?" asked Applejack.

"Slowdown speedy!" cries Edward and Sunset Shimmer

"Rail raider!" shouted Gordon and Rainbow Dash

That afternoon at Knapford, the steam team and the mane 8 had a meeting. They were confused on who was speeding along the rails and shaking them.

"Did anybody see clearly on what he looked like?" Sunset asked

Everybody shook their heads because didn't but James, Gordon and Henry did say what they saw.

"Although I did see that he was big." James pointed out

"I saw that he was silver." Gordon added

"And I could obviously see that he was very very fast." Finished Henry

"Wait a minute, did anybody see who was driving that mysterious engine?" asked Starlight

"No. But I saw that she was small." replied Pinkie Pie

"She had grey skin and hair," continued Applejack

"And she was fast with that engine." put in Fluttershy

"Big, Silver and Fast for the engine and small, grey skin, silver hair, and fast with the engine." Spike memorized

"Are you thinking what I am thinking Thomas?" Twilight asked in realization

"Yeah. That can only mean it's..." Thomas started but was cut off as a big, silver, streamlined engine steamed into Kapford. And a girl came off of the engine's footplate. It was someone the steam team and the mane 8 haven't seen in a long time.

"SPENCER and SILVER SPOON!" everyone groaned

"Hello Sodor!" Spencer called "What do you know I am here for the summer."

"Why?" Spike asked in surprise

"We have a V.I.J. Very important job to do for a couple of V.I.P.s," Silver Spoon answered, "The duke and duchess of Boxford are having a new summer house built. It has to be finished in time for the duke and duchess' holiday. We are in charge of building it."

"We are very busy no time to chat." Spencer said slyly
And Spencer and Silver Spoon steamed smugly away. Everyone was upset.

"Cinders and Ashes! Having speedy showoff Spencer on Sodor for one day is bad." Thomas groaned

"You said "one day" Thomas and with Silver Spoon it will be double trouble for one day." pointed Starlight

"But for the whole summer..." Rarity said in a solemn voice

"is terrible." finished Rainbow.

Later that day, Thomas, Twilight, Percy and Pinkie were hauling freight up Gordon's hill. The freight was heavy and they were trying their hardest. Just then Spencer and Silver Spoon puffed up to them.

"A little more puff and you might make it to the top by tea time." And they laughed rudely away.

"Bossy Boiler and Fusspot!" grumbled Pinkie and Percy

Next Spencer and Silver Spoon caught up with Gordon and Rainbow Dash.

"Get out of my way slowpokes." Silver Spoon called with Spencer whistling loudly

"Oh the indignity!" groaned Rainbow Dash

"Hey! That's my line!" shouted Gordon

"Sorry go ahead."

"Oh the indignity!"

Later Toby was puffing slowly next to a signal with Applejack. (Applejack sometimes drives Edward and sometimes she drives Toby.) They stopped when Spencer and Silver Spoon puffed right next to them.

"You are too old to be really useful now Toby." Spencer said slyly

"You should tell Applejack to drive someone else." Silver Spoon taunted

And the signals turned green but after Spencer and Silver Spoon left Toby's signal turned red. Toby and Applejack gasped. They were upset. They missed their green light.

Edward, James, Sunset and Rarity were puffing cheerfully down the track with a heavy load when Spencer and Silver Spoon steamed up to them.

"Dear oh dear it takes two engines to pull one freight car does it?" Silver Spoon asked in a taunting voice.

"Well I am pulling 5!" Spencer boasted and he thundered away. James and Rarity were so cross that they didn't want to move at all.

That night at Tidmouth sheds the engines and their drivers were having an indignation meeting about the bad behavior Spencer had. They were cross and upset.

"They told Toby he was too old." Sunset said

"They've taken over my express line." huffed Gordon

"Spencer will never have a shiny coat of paint like Jamesy's." Rarity said

"They'll never learn manners." Edward said

"Spencer and Silver Spoon are scary." Spike said in a nervous way "Um could we sleep with you guys?"

"Sure, if you would like to." Henry replied

"We have sleeping bags." Pinkie Pie said energetically "I'm so excited for a sleepover! But not about Spencer."

"We all aren't excited about that silver showoff." said Starlight as she went to get her sleeping bag, "You were right Thomas. Having Spencer here for one day is bad."

And everyone went to sleep worrying about tomorrow

The next day, at Brendam Docks, Thomas was coupled up to some flatbeds of machinery. Spencer and Silver Spoon puffed in with 5 flatbeds of building supplies for the summer house.

"Dear oh dear Thomas." he said in a sly voice "It's just as so the duke and duchess don't have a tiny toy tank engine like you, the summerhouse would never be finished."

"What do you mean by that?" Twilight asked in an indignant voice

"What Spencer means, Twilight is, Thomas just can't pull heavy loads." Silver Spoon answered

This time everyone was cross. It was the final straw for them. This time Spencer and Silver Spoon had gone too far.

"Oh yes I can!" Thomas snapped "I can pull just as heavy loads as you can."

"Yes that's right. Maybe even heavier than you can handle." Pinkie betted

"Thomas is not a toy!" huffed Gordon

"He is a really useful engine. said Edward

"And Twilight is a really useful friend." added Applejack

"And they are very strong." said Rarity

The friends didn't scare Spencer or Silver Spoon, then an idea bubbled in his boiler.

"Very well Thomas and Twilight. You two and Spike meet me and Silver tomorrow morning at the docks. We will each pull 7 flatbeds of heavy loads and see who can pull it longer and further."

And Spencer and Silver Spoon steamed away thinking how clever he was. Thomas began to worry.

"Cinders and Ashes!" he said "I can't do it. Spencer will surely win in a contest of strength."

The others saw that their friend was starting to worry. Then Percy and Twilight decided to encourage Thomas.

"You are the number 1 on sodor for a reason and you will show Spencer just that reason." said Twilight

"Yeah we are all on your side no matter what." assured Pinkie Pie

"After all you told us all after saving Lady, little engines can do big things. I know it because you are my best friend along with Pinkie." Percy said to his best friend.

"If it makes you feel better I could join you and Twilight." Sunset said

Thomas looked at his best friend and all his friends. They all agreed with Twilight and Percy. This made Thomas more confident and he was ready for the contest. The next morning as the dawn broke, the steam team and the mane 8 are waiting for the competition when Spencer and Silver Spoon steamed in. Thomas began to worry again.

"I can't do this Percy. I can't do this Twilight."

"Yes you can Thomas. You told us we can do anything if we put our minds to it, and so can you."

"And besides you have me, Spike and Sunset to help out too."

The tracks were all clear for the contestants and Thomas and Spencer were coupled up to their heavy loads. Edward and Applejack puffed up and explained the rules.

"You will each take different tracks around the island until you get to Knapford."

"Y'all can only stop for coal and water."

And Edward whistled long and hard. The contest began. Thomas was puffing hard. Thomas puffed to himself

"I can do this, I can puff for longer." soon we'll show Spencer we really are stronger."

Spencer just smirked

"I'll show Thomas who is strong and who is weak, he'll puff home with a squeak and a creak."

The others looked ahead with worry, then the engines blew their whistles.

"Good luck Thomas! Good luck Twilight and Spike! Good luck Sunset!" everyone cheered

Thomas and Spencer puffed round the island, their pistons pumped and their funnels puffed. They raced through tunnels and steamed up hills. Spencer was smug. Thomas and Twilight were determined.

"Silly little ones. When will they learn?" Spencer said slyly

"You can do whatever you want to and we want to win." Spike said

Thomas puffed up a hill. He puffed and heaved until his axles ached. At last they reached the top of the hill.

"Hooray! Well done Thomas! Well done!" Sunset cheered

Then there was a loud snap. Thomas, Twilight, Sunset and Spike saw that they were going faster and faster. Thomas realized what happened.

"Cinders and Ashes! My brakes have snapped!"

Thomas was puffing faster and faster. He, the girls and Spike were getting worried

"HELP!" They cried

Thomas went faster and faster. They went past Spencer.
"Blistering boilers!" he gasped
"That was fast." gaped Silver Spoon
Thomas soon crashed into cars of apples. Apples flew everywhere. But Thomas just sped on and crashed into a flatbed of syrup barrels. Sticky syrup flew into the air and landed all over Thomas, and Twilight and Sunset. Spike licked his paw
"Maple flavored." Spike thought "Nice but we still can't stop!"
And they couldn't stop and just sped on and soon they found themselves on a rickety old track that was overgrown. They crashed into some branches until at last they came to a stop.

"Rattling rails. We stopped. Twilight, Spike, Sunset are you guys ok?"

"Well I sort of broke my left arm but nothing too serious." Twilight said to her sticky friend

"A-Okay Thommy." Sunset assured

"I think I am fine. Are you ok?" Spike asked

"Yeah. But my paint is a bit scratched up and I am covered in jelly and branches. But other than that I am just fine. Now Spencer and Silver Spoon are probably going to be bragging about how they won the contest of strength. And my best friend Percy and the others might be wondering where we are. I don't know where we are. Do you have any idea where on sodor we are Twi?"

"No. I don't. But we are a long way from the steamworks."

Thom, Twi, Sunset, and Spike looked around everywhere was quiet and spooky. They thought they were alone. Until they heard a voice.

"Hello."

The three friends thought they were hearing things. They darted their eyes side to side but they didn't see anything or anyone.

"Maybe it was just the wind." Spike suggested

But Spike was wrong as they heard the voice again.

"Hello."

"The wind never says hello to us." said Sunset.

Thomas, Twilight, Sunset and Spike were a bit scared but they decided to find out who is making that voice. They crunched through branches and then they opened their eyes in wonder for they saw something that will change their lives, forever.

Author's Note:

Get ready for Thomas' and Twilight's biggest adventure yet. They will meet a new friend and help him. Stay tuned for meeting the masters and helping them out.
In my story sometimes Applejack drives Edward and sometimes she drives Toby and Thomas is driven by Twilight Sparkle or Sunset Shimmer

So many missed opportunities to fix all the nonsense in this special. I'm not sure these characters go together well, and from what I can tell the dialogue is copied and pasted from the original script.

Oops. Sorry

"She had grey skin and white hair," continued Applejack

Silver Spoon's hair is two-tone grey, not white.
