The Irelanders' Super Adventures of Thomas and Friends: Big World! Big Adventures The Movie/Transcript

This is the script for The Irelanders' Super Adventures of Thomas and Friends: Big World! Big Adventures The Movie.

[The film begins with Thomas trying to shunt some tankers. He is finding it hard to do so]

Thomas: (strains)

Gordon: Oh, dear, Thomas. That must be too many trucks for a little tank engine like you. Why don't you ask another engine to help you?

Thomas: I don't need any help. I can do this... by myself. (strains again)

[Two workmen see this and run over to assist as Gordon laughs]

Thomas: Laugh if you like, Gordon. You always think I'm too small to do anything. But I'm going to go far. I'm... I'm... I'm... going to see the world one day! Just you wait and see!

[Thomas gets ready to shunt the tankers again as the workmen release the brakes on them, since they had previously been locked on when Thomas tried to shunt them before. Thomas biffs the tankers and soon ends up crashing into the coal hopper. Gordon laughs]

Gordon: [laughs] The little tank engine who wants to see the world. Ha, ha, ha. Take a look around you, Thomas. This is your world. [laughs]

[Thomas looks down angrily. The scene then changes to the Tortuga flying over the Mainland]

Chris Kratt: That's it, Jimmy. This is a good height.

Smolder: So where are we going, Connor?

Connor Lacey: To the Island of Sodor, Smolder.

Smolder: Where is that island?

Twilight Sparkle: It's just on the other side of the Vicarstown Bridge. It's off the coast of England which is also known as the Mainland.

Sandbar: It's also where Thomas The Tank Engine and his friends live. I look on their history myself.

Maisie Lockwood: Nice to know somepony has been keeping up on their studying.

Ocellus: I also read The Railway Series books that has Thomas and his friends in them.

[She shows the book Thomas the Tank Engine to the others]

Kion: Wow, that's a neat book.

Raven Queen: Those books are really popular and make Thomas and his friends famous.

Lightning McQueen: All thanks to the Reverend W Awdry.

Dusty Crophopper: Yeah. He even wrote Ocellus' book about when we first met him.

Melody: He's one of the two visitors that visited the miniature railway once along with Teddy Boston.

Bob Parr/Mr Incredible: Yep. That's them.

Manny: Why are you inviting me and my family along, Connor?

Connor Lacey: Because, Manny, since we have our adventures with all of you in the ice age, we thought that you and your family would like to see other places that doesn't have snow.

Sid: Yeah, Manny. It would be cool to see other places that doesn't have snow anywhere or all year round.

Diego: He has a point.

Manny: Well, I suppose there are other places besides the ice age one.

Ellie: Too bad Peaches and Julian are on their honeymoon. They would love to join us on this adventure.

Fuli: Do Captain Jake and his crew has to travel on their ship and following us every time?

Mewtwo: Well, Fuli, Bucky is Jake and the crew's mode of transport and ship and they always use him to travel. They always follow the Tortuga when we go to places so there's nothing to worry about.

Fuli: Oh, alright. I understand now.

Korra: How much longer now to reach Sodor, Jimmy?

Jimmy Z: Not long now, Korra. Only Barrow In Furness to past and we'II be there.

[On the ground, The Thin Clergyman is riding on his bike through the countryside. Just then, a tuneful toot is heard and a yellow blur speeds past him]

The Thin Clergyman: Oh!

[The yellow blur is revealed to be a yellow rally car named Ace. He races along the mainland road before turning and winking at the camera]

Ace: G'day! (laughs)

[He then spots the Flying Scotsman ahead and speeds to catch up with him. The title comes up: The Irelanders' Super Adventures of Thomas and Friends: Big World! Big Adventures! The Movie. Ace catches up with the Flying Scotsman]

Ace: Excuse me, mate!

Flying Scotsman: Huh?

Ace: Is this the way to the Island of Sodor?!

Flying Scotsman: Yes, but only if you're a railway engine!

[Ace sees the road leading off at the edge of the mainland. He saw a bent part of the fence nearby and jumps over it, shocking Flying Scotsman]

Flying Scotsman: Where do you think you're going?

Ace: I think I'm going over the railway bridge. Where do you think I'm going?

[On the other side of the bridge, Sidney is rolling towards it with a goods train when he sees Ace ahead of him]

Flying Scotsman: (whistles) Look out!

Ace: (laughs)

Sidney: Ooooooh!

[Sidney slams on his brakes but Ace tilts on his side and made his way past Sidney]

Ace: Mind yourself, mate! You don't want to blow a gasket over nothing! [laughs as he speeds away]

[Meanwhile, Thomas is pulling the tankers back onto the tracks]

Rail Worker: Right, that's it. A little closer now, that's right.

[He uncouples Thomas from the tankers just as the Irelanders show up]

Connor Lacey: Hey, Thomas.

Thomas: Oh, hi, Connor.

Lightning McQueen: What's wrong, big guy? Aren't you happy to see us?

Thomas: Yes, I am. It's just... [sighs] Gordon teased me about my size earlier.

Dusty Crophopper: What? He's still teasing you after all this time?

Thomas: Yes, Dusty.

Connor Lacey: So much for our alliance.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, you shouldn't let what Gordon says get to you, Thomas.

Thomas: I know. I deal with it for years. Who are your new friends?

Smolder: The name's Smolder.

Sandbar: I'm Sandbar.

Yona: Yona happy to meet tank engine.

Silverstream: I'm Silverstream. I'm a hippogriff.

Gallus: Name's Gallus. I'm a griffin.

Ocellus: I'm Ocellus.

Manny: Manfred. Friends call me Manny.

Sid: Name's Sid.

Diego: Name's Diego, friend.

Ellie: I'm Ellie.

Crash: I'm Crash.

Eddie: I'm Eddie.

Buck: The name's Buck. Short for Buckminster. Long for Buh.

Shira: I'm Shira.

Brooke: I'm Brooke.

Gavin: I'm Gavin.

Gertie: I'm Gertie.

Roger: And I'm Roger.

Thomas: It's nice to meet you all. I thought mammoths, sabres and ground sloths are extinct.

Chris Kratt: Well Thomas, although that mammoths, sabres and ground sloths are extinct, this group came with us from the time of the ice age.

Martin Kratt: We traveled back to that time with Connor's realm crystal and the time trampoline and have adventures there like helping return a human baby to his tribe, escaping a flood, travel to an underground world of dinosaurs, drifting across a big ocean by the continents splitting whilst fighting fearsome pirate animals and even save the earth from a giant magnetic meteor.

Thomas: Wow! That is quite an extraordinary adventure you guys had. Gordon also teases me about wanting to see the world.

Capper: Oh, dear. That is terrible, y'all.

Connor Lacey: Everyone deserves to have a chance to see the world.

Star Swirl the Bearded: Indeed. I get a chance to see the world and how much Equestria's improved in my absence after Twilight free me and the other Pillars from limbo.

[Twilight blushes and smiles happily at Star Swirl for saying that]

Violet Parr: Yeah. Gordon is just too big for his buffers again.

Mewtwo: Yeah. I bet we can all remember the last time this happened.

Raven Queen: We need to teach him a lesson. But how?

[Then Rarity smells something and so does everyone else and they recoil in disgust. They look at Bunga]

Dottie: Bunga, is that you?

Bunga: It's not me and my stink!

Iago: I think he's right, guys. Look.

[They look to see The Fat Controller holding his nose near some fish trucks]

The Fat Controller: Oh! What are these still doing here? Thomas! You need to take these fish trucks to Vicarstown. They're very smelly!

Discord: Yes and even more than Bunga's odor. Whoo!

Thomas: But James is supposed to that, sir! I'm supposed to take Annie and Clarabel out on my branchline!

The Fat Controller: James isn't here. We simply can't have these fish stinking up the yard any longer.

Sunset Shimmer: That gives the yard a big pigsty.

Jimney Cricket: Yeah. (hold his nose) Looks like it.

Captain Jake: And James is probably pulling coaches right now since he doesn't like pulling trucks.

Mtambo: I agree, Jake.

Gordon: (laughs) And don't forget to bring me my coaches, Thomas. I mustn't keep my passengers waiting.

[He whistles as he puffs away. Thomas sighs. Then Crash and Eddie get an idea and whisper it to Thomas and the Irelanders who giggles at the idea]

Stationmaster: All aboard!

[The passengers get on board. The guard blows his whistle and Gordon sets off]

Gordon: (whistles) Express coming through!

[Gordon leaves the station with not only the express but also the fish trucks as Thomas, Annie, Clarabel and the Irelanders enter the station]

Clarabel: Is Gordon pulling fish trucks?

Annie: Fish trucks?

Thomas: Those fish trucks need to being taken to Vicarstown. And that's where Gordon is going.

Connor Lacey: He's just being doubly useful today. (laughs)

[Thomas, The Irelanders, Annie and Clarabel laugh as Gordon exits Knapford]

Thomas: Fish Express coming through!

[The scene changes to Scrat running across a field of grass to a fence by the road. He taps the ground with his foot to see if it is a perfect spot. Seeing that it's OK, he put his acorn on the ground and screw it down. Then he heard something and look up to see Bertie driving along the road whilst humming the tune of Somebody Has to Be The Favorite]

Bertie: Somebody's got to be...

[Just then, a tuneful toot is heard and Ace speeds past Bertie]

Ace: Whoo-hoo!

Bertie: Hey! Excuse me!

[Ace sped past Scrat, knocking him away from the acorn. Scrat angrily shakes a fist at Ace who rounds a corner and drives along until he catches up with Thomas, Annie and Clarabel spotting him in the process]

Annie: (gasps) Who is that?

Raven Queen: I have no idea but he looks cool.

Thomas: [gasps in amazement] Hello! Are you a racing car?!

Ace: That's right, mate! I certainly am.

Thomas: Want a race?

Ace: Race?

Annie: No Thomas!

Ace: What a little race car like me against big strong vehicles like all of you? [chuckles] Alright, mate. Ready... set...

[Thomas take off before he can finish]

Annie, Clarabel and the passengers: THOMAS!!

[Ace waits a while, then speeds up, catching up with Thomas once more]

Ace: Go.

[He speeds ahead, leaving Thomas astonished]

Ace: See ya later! [laughs]

Thomas: Wow! Did you see that?

Ron Stoppable: Yes, Thomas. We did.

[Ace reaches Ffarquhar just moments before Thomas. As Thomas arrived, Ace does a 360 spin]

Passengers:Hooray!

Thomas:Cinders and ashes! That was amazing! You can spin around in a complete circle. I wish I could do that.

Ace: You mean a 360, mate? Well, what's stoppin' ya?

Thomas: These rails. The only time I get to spin around is when I'm on the turntable. And that's not very fast. But you can do a 360.

Lightning McQueen: We race cars can do a 360 as well.

[He does one with Ace watching him]

Ace: Nice one, mate.

Lightning McQueen: Thanks.

Connor Lacey: Anyway, who are you and what brings you to Sodor?

Ace: Me? [chuckles whilst backing up] Mate, my name's Ace. [doing a massive U turn in front of Thomas] And I'm on a race around the world. Five cross-country rallies on five different continents.

Thomas: Wow. And is the first race here on Sodor?

Ace: On Sodor? [through laughter] Don't be silly, mate. I'm here to catch a ship to get to the first race. (to the Irelanders) Who are you guys anyway?

Connor Lacey: I'm Connor Lacey.

Twilight Sparkle: I'm Twilight Sparkle. Princess Twilight Sparkle to be exact.

Lighting McQueen: I'm Lightning McQueen.

Dusty Crophopper: Dusty. Dusty Crophopper.

Bob Parr/Mr Incredible: I'm Bob Parr. My superhero name is Mr Incredible.

Kion: I'm Kion.

Captain Jake: I'm Captain Jake.

Maisie Lockwood: I'm Maisie Lockwood.

Tubb: I'm Tubb. This is Sploshy, Finbar, Terence, Winona, Reg and Amelia.

Korra: I'm Korra.

Templeton: I'm Templeton.

Manny: Manfred. Friends call me Manny.

Raven Queen: I'm Raven Queen.

Sunset Shimmer: I'm Sunset Shimmer.

Mewtwo: I am Mewtwo.

Martin Kratt: I'm Martin Kratt.

Chris Kratt: I'm his brother, Chris Kratt.

Mtambo: They call me Mtambo.

Irelanders: We're the Irelanders.

Ace: Wow. Nice to meet you all.

[Then he saw Cruz Ramirez and looks at her lovingly. Cruz looks at him as well and then falls in love with him too]

Ace: Hi, I'm Ace.

Cruz Ramirez: Cruz. Cruz Ramirez.

Ace: Uh, you look lovely.

Cruz Ramirez: Thanks. You're so cool.

Buck: Looks like those two cars have found themselves in love, guys.

Shira: Like Diego and me.

Lightning McQueen: And me and Sally.

Dusty Crophopper: And me and Ishani.

Violet Parr: And me and Tony.

Chris Kratt: And me and Aviva.

Aviva Corcovado: Aw.

Discord: And let's not forget the Irish commoner and the Princess of Friendship themselves.

Connor Lacey: Thanks, Discord.

Twilight Sparkle: That's much appreciation.

Francesco Bernoulli: (to Ace) So there are rallies going all the way around the world?

Ace: That's right, mate.

Lightning McQueen: That sounds like the World Grand Prix we did years ago.

Ace: The World Grand Prix?

Connor Lacey: Yeah, it's a competition for racing cars to race in three different continents like Japan, Italy and England.

Ace: Cool. The difference between prixs and rallies is that rallies took place at many continents than three. Hey, why don't you three join in the rally since you're all racing cars.

Cruz Ramirez: That's a great idea! What do you say, guys?

Lightning McQueen: Well, I'd say I would like to join the rally.

Francesco Bernoulli: Francesco would like to join in the rally around the world.

Ace: Bonza! The more racers the better.

Thomas:[gasps] That's so exciting! I've always wanted to see the world!

Ace: Well, why don't ya? They do have rails in other countries you know. Mate, you should do it. Free and Easy, that's my motto.

Sploshy: It's a good one too.

Ace: Thanks, Sheila. Who knows? You could be the first railway engine to all the way around the world. That's probably never been done before.

[Thomas imagines himself arriving at the finish line where a crowd is cheering for him. The Fat Controller then produces a trophy to Thomas, making him smile]

Ace: Anyway, I haven't got time to hang around here all day. I need to carry on with my speed trials.

[He revs his engine and his fuel gage goes up. Ace then speeds away]

Thomas: So do I!

Annie: No you don't!

[Thomas' steam pressure goes up and he whistles and speeds off just as Bertie pulls in]

Clarabel: Thomas!

Bertie: Where are you going? I have passengers for you! Thomas! Oh.

[The scene cuts to Vicarstown Station where Gordon arrives, whistling and still unaware of the prank Thomas pulled on him. He sees the Flying Scotsman already there waiting for him]

Flying Scotsman: Ha, ha! Hello little brother!

Gordon:[quite annoyed] Hello.

[The Flying Scotsman suddenly smells the fish trucks at the back of Gordon's Express]

Flying Scotsman: [groaning in disgust] What is that terrible smell? Is it you, Gordon? Are you pulling the Flying Kipper today? Or are those actually fish trucks at the back of your coaches?

[The Thin Clergyman waves away the nasty smell as the passengers get out, holding their noses. Gordon notices]

Gordon: Fish trucks? Fish trucks?! Oh, the indignity! THOMAS!!!

[The scene then cuts to Thomas and the Irelanders arriving at Knapford Station. The Fat Controller comes over]

The Fat Controller: Ah, Thomas. Thank you for sorting out those fish trucks earlier. That was a great help.

Thomas: Not a problem, sir. Always happy to be really useful.

Connor Lacey: So do we, right, guys?

Irelanders: Yes.

Thomas: And well, there is something else I wanted to talk to you about, sir. I've had an idea. How would you like it, sir, if one of your engines could be the first railway engine to right round the world?!

The Fat Controller: Round the world?! I've never heard of a railway engine going around the world.

Thomas: Yes, sir. I know, sir. It's probably never been done before.

Melody: We have been on many adventures and journeys and we managed.

Mtambo: Of course. To become a tour guide for the Safari Park, I've traveled the world from Antarctica to Zimbabwe and I've seen many different creatures. Big and small, short and tall, on my journeys I have seen them all.

Silverstream: Hey, you rhymed with that last sentence, Mtambo.

Mtambo: Indeed.

Capper: I guess that makes you the first chugger to go all the way around the world.

Mtambo: That is right, Capper.

The Fat Controller: Oh, well, it would be a marvelous thing if it could be done, Mtambo. But I doubt it's that easy. The world's not all one big railway you know. There are oceans to cross, as well as deserts and jungles and mountains.

Mtambo: I know, sir but there are railway tracks around the world when I traveled.

Twilight Sparkle: And also there's roads, skies and rivers that can take you anywhere in the world.

Thomas: And wouldn't it be marvelous thing, wouldn't it, sir?

The Fat Controller: Yes, Thomas, it would. [hears the telephone ringing] Oh, bother that telephone. [to Thomas while going to answer it] If you can figure out a way of actually doing it.

Thomas: Yes, sir.

[The guard blows his whistle and Thomas leave the station]

Thomas: I can.

[As he and the Irelanders left the station, the skinks saw them and slither away. The scene changes to a dark area where the Foot Empire is gathered, hearing the news]

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Could this be possible?

Shupavu: Yes, your ladyship.

Njano: The blue tank engine dreams of seeing the world for years.

Hawk Moth: Is that so?

Njano: Indeed, Hawk Moth.

Kiburi: Since when Thomas dreams of seeing the world, anyway?

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Well, Kiburi, when he first came to Sodor years ago, Thomas always wanted to see the world. He got that chance when he and his best friend, Percy traveled with Connor, The Irelanders, Twilight and Spike to Equestria when they encountered Nightmare Moon, one of our allies and Princess Luna's evil form. That's how he wanted to see the world.

Kiburi: I see.

Shupavu: While we spy on the Irelanders, we saw a bunch of animals with them and the blue tank engine.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: What do you see?

Njano: Well, there are two mammoths, two ground sloths, two sabres, two possums, a weasel and three dino birds.

Queen Chrysalis: That must be the Ice Age gang we've been encountering many times.

Janja: (to Soto and Gutt) And the one thing you two have in common is that you got one member of your groups who betrayed you for the mammoth.

[The duo look at each other in surprise and anger]

Soto: So, Diego's got a mate who followed in his pawprints of betrayal to you, Gutt.

Captain Gutt: Indeed. And all thanks to that mammoth who defeated us. Guess we can have a partnership to get revenge on him, along with Shira and that sabre for betraying us.

Soto: I agree. Perhaps I can kill Diego's mate as payback while the mammoth's all yours. I'II also make sure my pack doesn't eat your crew in return.

Captain Gutt: Excellent idea.

[They shook paws in agreement as Linda got an idea from hearing Thomas' dream]

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: I have a new plan for revenge on Connor and his Irelanders.

Janja: Listen to her boys. She has a plan.

Chungu: Uh, Her you? Or Her-her?

Ushari: Just listen. Linda always has a plan like Scar! Big plans!

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Yes, Ushari. Big plans indeed. We'II follow the Irelanders and Thomas on their world adventure. Then we'II ambush them and make sure they never return to Sodor ever again.

Tirek: Hmm. Just like when we trap them and James at the Steelworks to make sure they do not return to Sodor some time ago.

Jessie: Yeah. I remember that time. We were tricking those two engines into thinking that we get them more help if they don't let the twerps escape.

James: Yes. But unfortunately, they escape with the help of those experimental engines including the three funneled one who joins the Irelanders.

Donita Donata: Yeah. Merlin.

Dabio: The engine that can turn invisible?

Donita Donata: Well, he can't really turn invisible because his experiment failed, Dabio.

Dabio: Oh.

Zach Varmitech: Well, actually, I bet that Diesel and Diesel 10 will be pleased with this news once they found out Thomas is gone since they can do their devious plans to prove that diesels are better than steam engines without him intervening.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Indeed, Zach. They'II find out for themselves soon enough.

Reirei: Any chance you skinks find out where they're going in the world?

Shupavu: Well, we heard that they're going to Brendam Docks to get onto a ship that's going to Africa.

Mzingo: Hmm. That's where we live, in the Outlands.

Janja: Yeah. You're right. As well as where the Pride Lands is.

Njano: Yeah. It's the first part of the rallies around the world that the Irelanders talk about. McQueen, Cruz and Francisco are taking part in it.

Jackson Storm: Well, this could be our chance to take part in them and beat McQueen and his friends, eh, Chick?

Chick Hicks: (grinning) Yeah. That's a great idea, Storm. Old Ka-chow won't even know what hit them.

Professor Z: Well, I suppose we can cause a bit of trouble at the rallies for fun while we find out what other continents the rallies took place after Africa.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: True. Now, let's get ready to follow the Irelanders and Thomas.

Captain Gutt: Mr. Squint.

Squint: Aye, sir.

Captain Gutt: Get things ready to set sail. We're sailing for vengeance, lads.

Flynn: I love vengeance.

Squint: Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of cool with me, Captain. (to Soto's pack) Out of my way, sabers. You answer to me now. (laughs)

Oscar: [pounces on Squint and pins him down] We answer to Soto only.

Zeke: Yeah. Not to first mate rabbits. (laughs)

Soto: Oscar, Zeke, let him go.

Captain Gutt: You'II get used to his energetic ways and a pirate's life.

Hawk Moth: I'II call The Crime Empire to help with this plan, Linda.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Very well, Hawk Moth. And I suggest you prepare an akuma in case Thomas shows negative emotions later on.

Hawk Moth: Will do.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Soon, we will be able to have our revenge on the Irelanders and Thomas will never come back to Sodor forever! (cackles)

[The villains move out to the docks to follow the Irelanders and Thomas. The scene then cuts to Bertie arriving at Knapford later but find that Thomas wasn't there. Percy whistles as he pulls in. Bertie sees him]

Bertie: Hello? Have you seen Thomas, Percy? He didn't wait for my passengers today.

[Emily puffs in, whistling]

Emily: Thomas? Thomas left Annie and Clarabel in the yard but I don't know where he went after that.

[Gordon puffs in, looking very angry]

Gordon: Thomas! Where is Thomas? He coupled fish trucks to the back of the Express today. Just wait until I catch up with him!

[The Fat Controller comes out of his office, having finished his call on the telephone earlier]

The Fat Controller: Has anybody seen Thomas? I have a goods train I want him to take to Arlesburgh for me.

[Emily and Percy look at each other worriedly. Bertie looks shocked]

Bertie: Thomas?

Percy: Thomas? Has anyone seen Thomas?

[Norman and Stanley are doing their normal work as Percy calls out about Thomas' whereabouts. At Ffarquhar Quarry, Mavis is working when she heard Toby's voice echoed around the Quarry]

Toby: Thomas? (Thomas? Thomas?)

Gordon: He could have bashed into some buffers

Diesel: Or dropped down into a mine

Percy: Or rolled into the ocean 'cuz he passed the danger sign

Rosie: He could be stuck inside a tunnel with no steam to move at all

Edward: Or crashed into a stationmaster's house

Knapford Stationmaster: Right through a wall

Toby: He could've strayed into a woodland on a track that's overgrown

Paxton: Or found a secret tunnel to some island that's unknown

Sidney: That doesn't make any sense! How could there be an island around here that's unknown?

Paxton: What if it was always covered in mist?

Sidney: That sounds very mist-erious!

Marion: He could be caught up in a landslide

Bill: Or have fallen off a bridge

Ben: Or tried to climb a mountain

Timothy: And be stuck up on a ridge!

James: He could've been derailed when he was trying to win a race

Imprisoned in a Steelworks!

Percy: Or be lost in outer space?

Sir Topham Hatt: Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt to major Thomas... come in major Thomas

Stop messing around, you're causing confusion and delay!

James: He could've gone up to some other place that we don't even know!

Henry: He could be almost anywhere!

Sir Topham Hatt: Oh, where did Thomas go?

Percy: We don't know, sir!

Sir Topham Hatt: Well, keep looking!

All: He could be anywhere, any where's Thomas?

He could be anywhere, any where's Thomas?

He could be anywhere, anywhere into the world

Emily: Sir, sir, sir! I found out what happened to Thomas!

Sir Topham Hatt: Alright, Emily. Calm down, and tell me slowly.

Emily: Thomas went down to the Docks, sir. And... and Carly loaded him onto a ship!

Sir Topham Hatt: She did what? But... that means... he could be anywhere in the world!

He could be checking out the pyramids while floating down the Nile

Or in the outback of Australia with a crocodile

He could be in Paris, sitting by the Eiffel Tower

Or chilling in Antarctica...

Dowager Hatt: He wouldn't last an hour!

Sir Topham Hatt: He could be in the Himalayas taking in the mountain air

Or acting like a tourist in the heart of Time's Square!

Percy: Are there tracks there?

James: Of course! The subway goes right through it

Percy: You mean he's gone underground?

Thomas: Hello! Hello?

Sir Topham Hatt: He could be in Rio de Janeiro as the carnival goes by

Or out on Easter Islands saying "hi" to a moai

Thomas: Hi!

Moai Head: Hi

Sir Topham Hatt: He could be on an African safari racing a zebra

Or in Venice on a gondola!

Dowager Hatt: Don't be preposterous! He's a tank engine. He can't fit in a gondola!

Sir Topham Hatt: Well he could if it was a rather large gondola

He could be wrestling a sumo in a match in Tokyo

He could be almost anywhere

Oh, where did Thomas go?

Henry: We still don't know, sir!

Sir Topham Hatt: Well, we have to find him. He's my number one engine.

All: He could be anywhere, any where's Thomas?

He could be anywhere, any where's Thomas?

He could be anywhere, anywhere into the world

[As night fell, Harold flew over Tidmouth Sheds where the Steam Team are worried about Thomas and wondered where he is. Despite that Edward now lives at Wellsworth with Philip, he joins the engines at the sheds to stay until Thomas returns like the time he journeyed to the mainland. The Fat Controller look at Thomas' empty berth worriedly]

Sir Topham Hatt: Oh Thomas, where could you be?

[The screen fades to black for a second then changes to a hatch opened, revealing Thomas being lifted from the ship by a crane in Darkar, Sarago. Ace and the Irelanders are waiting for him]

Ace: You're in Africa now, Thomas! What are you reckon? Welcome to Darkar, Sarago.

Thomas: Wow, Ace! I love it! The ships, the people, the sounds, the smells, everything!

Connor Lacey: (looking around in amazement) This is amazing!

Beshte: Poa! This is part of Africa we've never been to before!

Twilight Sparkle: Well, you do live in one part of Africa; the Pride Lands.

Fuli: That's true. Plus, this gives us the chance to find out about other places in Africa.

Bunga: Yeah. This is totally un-Bunga-livable!

Mako: Yeah, I know.

Somnambula: It reminds me of my home, a village named after me in Southern Equestria.

Aviva Corcovado: Yep. I remember being there a few times.

Mtambo: It is good to be back in Africa again.

Maisie Lockwood: You really do speak African, Mtambo.

Mtambo: Yep. I sure do.

[Thomas is put on the tracks and he follow Ace]

Thomas: Whoa! That woman's carrying a pot on her head and look at all those camels.

Silverstream: Wow! This is so cool! The sights, humans and new creatures! Wow! Is that a cow?!

Raven Queen: Yes, it is, Silverstream. Boy, is she so excited and loud.

Sunset Shimmer: Yeah. I guess she's just be like that. She has been underwater for a long time since the Storm King attacked Mount Aris. But now that he's gone, the hippogriffs can return to Aris and go back on land again.

Captain Jake: That could explain why Silverstream's excited about learn about things on land.

Violet Parr: Yeah.

Thomas: Oh, Ace, I'm so glad you've invited me and my friends to come with you.

Ace: Yeah. Well, you know what they say. The world is your oyster.

Thomas: Is it? What's an oyster? Is that some kind of fish?

Ace: Nah, it's just a saying, Thomas. Excuse me! (he honk his horn at a cow in front of him) But I'm in a hurry here, mate.

[The cow nearly kicks him]

Ace: Easy!

Mater: Dadgum! They're just like tractors back in Radiator Springs.

Gallus: (confused) Huh? What do you mean those cows are like tractors?

Mater: Well, Gallus, where I come from, all tractors are behaving like cows and I like to do tractor tipping with them by honking. (laughs) And they are so dumb.

Gallus: O-kay.

Chug: You'II get used to it, Gallus.

Ace: Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

Thomas: Whoo-hoo! Free and Easy! Ah, excuse us! Thank you! Oh, whoops. Pardon us. Thank you very much.

Irelanders: (to people) Excuse us! Coming through.

[The scene changes to Ace and Thomas in the Sahara Desert]

Ace: So Africa is continent number 1. This first cross country rally is a race across the Sahara. Just miles and miles of hot sandy desert.

Thomas: I hope they have lots of water towers.

Ace: Yeah. And that's only the start of it.

Cruz Ramirez: What's next, Ace?

Ace: The run continues on to Dar Es Salaam on the other side of Africa. And then we catch up our ship to Rio for the next rally.

Capper: Wow. That is very cool.

Francesco Bernoulli: Francesco is curious about these rallies around the world, Amigo.

Ace: Go ahead, I'm listening, mate.

Francesco Bernoulli: Do they have pit stops?

Ace: Pit stops? [laughs] There aren't any pit stops unless you crash.

Lightning McQueen: Wait, what?

Sarge: In order to get a pit stop, you need to crash?

Ace: Yep.

Dottie: Well, that was quite shocking.

Sid: Well, at least we learn one difference between grand prixs and rallies.

Starlight Glimmer: For sure, Sid.

Thomas: Dar Es Salaam? Rio? It's all so exciting! I still can't believe we're actually doing this!

Announcer: Hello and welcome ladies and gentleman to the first rally.

[Ace honks his horn and spins to see his friends at the starting line with McQueen, Cruz and Francesco following behind]

Ace: Hey, guys.

Rally cars: Ace!

Ace: Tony! Angelique! How are ya?

Angelique: What tires are you using?

Tony: How are you navigating?

Rally Car: I've fitted extra fuel tanks.

Rally Car 2: Then water.

Rally Car: Last thing we wanted to do is ended up overheat out there.

Lightning McQueen: Hi, I'm... [sees the rally cars staring at him with shocked expressions] What?

Angelique: Oh, my gosh!

Tony: You're Lightning McQueen, aren't you?! Ah, this is excellent!

Rally Car: We've heard all about you.

Rally Car 2: You have won seven Piston Cups! You are legendary!

Lightning McQueen: Yeah, well, it was great over the years.

Cruz Ramirez: Hello. I'm Cruz Ramirez, number 51 Dinoco Racer and Mr. McQueen's student.

Francesco Bernoulli: And I am Francesco Bernoulli.

Tony: It's nice to meet you. We heard from Nigel Gearsley and Raoul CaRoule about you two in the World Grand Prix.

Angelique: And Cruz becoming a racer for Dinoco.

Cruz Ramirez: (feeling flattered) Well, that's good of you guys to know that I'm a racer.

[Then, Jackson Storm and Chick Hicks arrived, much to the Irelanders' surprise and shock]

Jackson Storm: Hey-hey-hey! What's happening, everybody? Thanks for waiting.

Lightning McQueen: What are you and Chick doing here, Storm?

Jackson Storm: Just thought we'd join the rallies, McQueen. You know we had the hardest time finding this place.

Chick Hicks: That's right, old Ka-Chow. Though I'II be cheering Storm on and see if you lose which I hope for. Ho-ho-ho.

Dusty Crophopper: Hey, that's not very nice.

Cruz Ramirez: (to Ace and the rally cars) Those two are Chick Hicks and Jackson Storm. They're two bad racing cars who are Mr. McQueen's enemies.

Sally: Chick often cheats at races. He even rammed Strip "The King" Weathers, causing him to flip over and crash.

Ace and rally cars: [gasp]

Mater: Then he retired to become a TV show host of his show called Chick's Picks With Chick Hicks.

Blade Ranger: Jackson Storm is a next generation racer who taunts McQueen about replacing all the old racers and thinks that he should retire from racing.

Cruz Ramirez: And he even said that I don't belong on the racetrack.

Ace: Oh, don't worry, Sheila. I won't let anything happen to you.

Cruz Ramirez: Thanks, Ace.

Jackson Storm: Ha! Since I'm a next gen racer, I can easily beat all of you old timers since we're more faster than all of you. You should all retired.

Tony: Now you just hold your horses a minute, Storm. We may not have the same speed as you, but we can still race.

Angelique: (to Chick Hicks) And even though you've won a Piston Cup, you are still a loser, cheater and a bad racer.

Chick Hicks: Why you little...!

Francesco Bernoulli: Now, now. Let's all settle down for now and get ready to race.

Lightning McQueen: I hate to agree with him but he's right. Let's just prepare for the race.

[Storm, Chick and the rally cars glares at each other silently as Thomas and the Irelanders watch]

Thomas: I'm Thomas.

Connor Lacey: I'm Connor Lacey.

Manny: Manfred. Friends call me Manny.

Lucius Best/Frozone: Lucius Best. My superhero identity is Frozone.

Korra: I'm Korra.

Templeton: I'm Templeton.

Irelanders: We're the Irelanders.

Rally Car: Heh. Good for you all. (chuckles)

Thomas: We're coming with you!

[The cars turn around to look at Thomas and the Irelanders]

Angelique: You? (laughs) Across the Sahara?

Tony: How can two railway engines cross a big sandy desert?

[The rally cars laugh]

Thomas: Ace invited us!

[Ace looks sheepish, trying to keep his cool in front of his friends]

Ace: No I didn't. You just got the wrong end of the stick shift.

Chick Hicks: Hey, you losers coming or what?

Announcer: All cars to the start line!

Ace: Why would I say you could come with me across the Sahara when there aren't any tracks?

Irelanders: What?!

Thomas: No tracks?! But you told me that...

Announcer: And as the intension competitors line up, we can feel a lot of excitment coming on.

Thomas: Ace, you told me there would be tracks!

Ace: I told you about the five rallies and you told me you wanted to see the world, like McQueen and pals did once. So go see it.

Announcer: Ready, set, go!

[The cars set off]

Thomas: Ace! No! Ace! Wait for me in Dar Es Salaam. (sighs) Wherever that is. (sighs)

Connor Lacey: Ugh, now we're back to square one.

Mtambo: Don't worry, Thomas. I know a track that can get us to Dar Es Salaam.

Voice: Dar Es Salaam?

[Thomas look over and see some trucks sitting nearby]

Female Tankers: Dar Es Salaam?

Van: Are you going to Dar Es Salaam?

[Thomas felt a bump behind him as trucks was coupled up to him]

Salt Van: We've been waiting for you!

Thomas: Me? Really? OK.

Twilight Sparkle: (confused to the vans) Why would you wait for Thomas?

Van: We were hoping somebody could take us to Dar Es Salaam.

Thomas: But, um..... I don't even know where Dar Es Salaam is.

Female Tankers: We do. That's where we came from.

Mtambo: Well, looks like we'll have their help to get to Dar Es Salaam.

Sunset Shimmer: Yep.

Rainbow Dash: (suspicious of the trucks) Are you sure we should trust those trucks?

Koki: Rainbow's right. What if they cause trouble as usual like back on Sodor?

Connor Lacey: Uh, I don't think they are troublesome, Koki.

April O'Neil: (using her psychic powers to sense the trucks' intentions) He's right. I can't sense any troublesome intentions in them.

Maisie Lockwood: Wow. That's cool.

[Then a man came up to Thomas and the Irelanders]

Man: So you are the new engine?

Thomas: Well, I....

Man: You look smaller, slower and much, much less useful than the engine I was expecting, eh? How are you going to pull so many trucks, eh? A little engine like you. [laughs]

Mtambo: Hello, my friend. Remember me?

Man: Mtambo! You're back! It is so good to see you again after all these years!

Mtambo: It is good to see you again too. But Thomas may be little but he can still get the job done. Right, Thomas?

Thomas: I agree with Mtambo. This is not too many trucks for me. If they can show us the way to Dar Es Salaam, we can get them there.

Irelanders: Here, here.

[They set off to Dar Es Salaam]

Female Tankers: You told him.

Van: Yes. That's the spirit.

[He blows a raspberry at the yard owner who shakes his head in disbelief]

[At Brendam Docks on Sodor, The Fat Controller looks confused at what Carly did]

The Fat Controller: [stammers] But why would it be okay to load Thomas onto a ship that was going to Africa, Carly?

Carly: Thomas told me that they ask you about it, sir. They said that you thought it was a good idea.

The Fat Controller: A good idea? What did I say was a good idea?

Carly: That Thomas be the first railway engine to right around the world.

[The Fat Controller looks shocked at realizing his mistake. Salty and Porter stop and look at each other with worry]

The Fat Controller: Oh, dear, oh, dear. I need to find Thomas and bring them back before something happens to him. I, I need to be on the next ship for Darkar.

Carly: Oh. Yes, sir!

[She picks him up off the ground with her hook]

The Fat Controller: Whoa!

Cranky: No, Carly! What are you doing?! You don't load people on the ships with your hook!

Carly: Oops!

[She puts the Fat Controller on the next ship for Darkar where two workers catch him]

The Fat Controller: Uh, oh. That's it. Ah, oh, right.

Carly: Sorry, sir.

[The Fat Controller sighs and walks to the side of the ship, looking out to sea worriedly]

The Fat Controller: Oh. Where in the world are you, Thomas?

[Back in the Sahara desert, Thomas is puffing and driving along whilst African music plays in the background]

Trucks: (giggling)

Thomas: See? Didn't I say I could do it? Whoo-hoo!

[He rockets down the hill and laughs]

Thomas: I might even get to Dar Es Salaam before Ace!

Diego: Spoken like a real adventurer.

[Then a whistle is heard and Thomas see another goods yard ahead]

Man: Where are you going?

Thomas: To Dar Es Salaam.

Man: Really? Hmm. (he looks at the trucks behind Thomas) I thought they would have sent a bigger engine.

Thomas: I've pulled a lot more trucks than this back on the island of So..... Oooooh.

Man: Nice to see you again, Mtambo.

Mtambo: You too.

[Thomas was on his way again. Only now he got more trucks than before]

[Another whistle is blown and Thomas sees a woman waving a red flag and stops]

Woman: Dar Es Salaam? OK, we have some more trucks for you. Come on! [to Mtambo] Good to see you are back, Mtambo.

Mtambo: I'm just happy to be back.

[More trucks are coupled to Thomas' train. Thomas has more trucks. Then another whistle is heard]

Man: Dar Es Salaam? [to Mtambo] Mtambo! Welcome home!

Mtambo: Thank you.

[More trucks coupled up to Thomas' train. Thomas keep stopping at places by people asking for Dar Es Salaam and trucks being coupled up to his train, annoying him until they have a very long train of trucks]

Thomas: (sighs)

Iago: How many shunting yards are there around here?

Zazu: I don't know.

Gallus: If I see a few more trucks, I am going to go ballistic.

Raven Queen: Me too, Gallus.

Izzy: How are we going to get all these trucks to Dar Es Salaam?

[They heard a giggle and turns to see a orange tank engine giggling on a siding, shadowed by a tree next to the tracks]

Mater: Dadgum, who's that?

Chug: I don't know.

Frozone: (to Nia) Why are you laughing, miss?

Orange Engine: Your face! (giggles) You shouldn't look so surprised. There are always a lot of tracks to Dar Es Salaam you know. But usually they send a bigger engine not a little one like you. Luckily, I like to be helpful where ever I can. And it's not very busy around here at the moment so that means I can help you. Two engines are much better than one you know. [sees Mtambo and gasps] Mtambo!

Mtambo: Nia!

Nia: You're back! It's been so long!

Mtambo: I know!

Nia: How are your wheels? How is your boiler? How are your pistons? Have the tracks been taking you where you want to go? And are your fellow engines treating you well?

Mtambo: Very good, thank you, Nia.

Thomas: I don't need any help! (strains) I can do this by myself!

Nia: Oh. OK. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

[Thomas puffs away, Later, Thomas came to a hill and struggled up]

Van: We usually travel much faster than this.

Tanker: Maybe some help would have been a good idea.

Salt Van: Why have they given us such a small engine?

Thomas: I'm not that small. Be patient! I can do this! Now I know why everyone kept saying this is a difficult job. It's because of trucks like you always complaining about everything! (strains) This really is a job for a much bigger engine. (strains)

Beshte: Uh, need a little help with those trucks, Thomas?

Thomas: No thanks, Beshte. I can do this by myself.

[Suddenly, he began sliding back down the hill]

Thomas: Aaaaaaaah!

Irelanders: [screaming]

[Just then, out of nowhere, Nia shows up and stops Thomas from moving]

Nia: I've got you!

Van: She's got you!

Van 2: She's got you!

Tankers: She's got you!

Nia: What did I tell you, Mr Blue Tank Engine? I know you need help.

Van: She knew you'd need help.

Van 2: She knew you'd need help.

Tankers: She knew you'd need help.

Thomas: I don't need help. I was managing just fine.

Tankers: He doesn't need help.

Van 2: He doesn't need help.

Van: He doesn't need help.

Nia: Oh, I see. I didn't realize you were going backwards for fun. I do that sometimes too you know. Wheeee!

[She began to roll backwards, letting Thomas and the train roll back very fast]

Thomas: Aaaaagh!

Irelanders: [screaming]

[Nia stops him and push him]

Nia: But you do have to be careful. In case there is something behind you that you can't see. Don'y you think so?

Thomas: (humphs)

Ellie: Well, thanks for saving us.

Nia: Should I call you Mr Blue Tank Engine or do you have a name? My name is Nia.

Connor Lacey: I'm Connor Lacey.

Twilight Sparkle: My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Kim Possible: I'm Kim Possible.

Kion: I'm Kion, leader of the Lion Guard.

Maisie Lockwood: I'm Maisie Lockwood.

Captain Jake: Captain Jake of the Neverland Pirates.

Sunset Shimmer: I'm Sunset Shimmer.

Manny: Manfred. Friends call me Manny.

Mushu: I'm Mushu.

Raven Queen: I'm Raven Queen.

Mariene: I'm Mariene.

Martin Kratt: I'm Martin Kratt.

Chris Kratt: I'm his brother, Chris Kratt.

Mewtwo: I am Mewtwo.

Jiminy Cricket: Cricket's the name. Jiminy Cricket.

Sandbar: I'm Sandbar.

Smolder: I'm Smolder.

Silverstream: I'm Silverstream. I'm a Hippogriff.

Yona: Yona. Yona Yak.

Gallus: I'm Gallus. I'm a griffin.

Ocellus: I'm Ocellus. I'm a changeling.

Tubb: I'm Tubb. This is Sploshy, Finbar, Terence, Winona, Reg and Amelia.

Tempest Shadow: I'm Fizzlepop Berrytwist but you can call me Tempest Shadow.

Grubber: I'm Grubber.

Irelanders: We're the Irelanders.

Thomas: Well, I'm called Thomas. And I can pull this train by myself. Goodbye, Nia.

Nia: If you want to go faster, you should still let me help you. After all, it's a long way to Dar Es Salaam. 5000 miles.

Trucks: 5000 miles. (3 times)

Thomas: 5000 miles?!

Sploshy: That's a long way and nearly a whole day!

Manny: HOW BIG IS THIS DESERT!?

Helen Parr/Elastigirl: Manny, calm down. I'm sure that we'll get there soon.

Jimmy Z: If we get something to drink. We're thirsty.

Fuli: Nia, are there any rivers nearby?

Nia: Well, deserts are very hot and they have no rivers. Sorry.

Fuli: Sorry I ask.

Mtambo: (to Nia) Nia, remember me?

Nia: [gasps] Mtambo! Long time no see! How are you? How are your wheels? How is your boiler? How are your pistons? Have the tracks been taking you where you want to go? And are your fellow engines treating you well?

Mtambo: Yes, Nia, How are you? How are your wheels? How is your boiler? How are your pistons? Have the tracks been taking you where you want to go? And are your fellow engines treating you well?

Nia: Yes, they are. Thank you, Mtambo.

Tubb: You two know each other?

Nia: Of course we do. We both live in Kenya which is part of Africa.

Mtambo: That's true. After seeing the creatures here and over the world, I came to Chuggington to become a tour guide in the safari park.

Nia: That sounds like an exciting job.

Mtambo: It is, Nia.

Templeton: (sarcastically) How sweet. They both know each other from the same place they live.

Connor Lacey: Templeton! That's not very nice.

Templeton: What? Do I have to add niceness to my things like spying and hiding and eating?

Rarity: Well, yes, so treat our friends more nicely.

Fluttershy: Or I'II use the Stare on you.

Templeton: OK, I get it.

Nia: Hey, hey! The trucks can help you you know.

Thomas: Oh, of course, they can. Trucks love to be helpful. Just like you do.

Nia: You trucks! Don't any of you know any songs to help pass the time? This is going to be a very long journey without any music and big blue tank engine Thomas is getting grumpy already. He needs a bit of cheering up.

[The Irelanders and the trucks began to sing a song to cheer Thomas up]

Trucks: Wake up!

(Thomas!)

Wake up!

It's such a lovely day

(Thomas!)

You've got a job to do

(Cheer up!)

Maybe you don't wanna do it but hey, hey, hey

(Wake up!)

If you wanna be happy

Tell me what's stopping you!

When you're grumpy

You're in your own way!

Nia: There's oh so much to discover

If you open your eyes

You might even uncover

Your own smile!

Do you really want to be stormy?

Always under a cloud?

Just be happy and go the extra mile!

Trucks: Wake up!

(Don't be a silly choo choo!)

Cheer up!

There's so many things to try

Wake up!

The world is all around you!

As big as the beautiful sky

Don't let the world pass you by

Si lazima dunia kupita wewe na

[The African people move the goats out of the rails and Thomas looks happy as he went on his way with his train. They went past the village where women are picking fruit from the trees and put them into their baskets on their heads]

Nia: A bad mood is like a blindfold

It covers up your eyes

(Trucks join in): It makes the world around you dark as night

Just shake it off

And turn your mood around

You can do it if you try

And see it all in a new light

Wake up!

(Don't be so grumpy, Thomas!)

Cheer up!

(The sun is in the sky!)

Wake up!

(Don't be so grumpy, Thomas!)

Or else the world goin' pass you by

Don't let the world pass you by

Si lazima dunia kupita wewe na

Nia: Slow down a little, Thomas. You need to be careful about animals on the tracks.

Thomas: (laughs) I know all about that. We get animals on the tracks all the time back on Sodor. I just give a little peep on my whistle....... (he peeps his whistle and the giraffes run off in the Savannah) and they soon get off the tracks again.

[Nia moves to the back of the train to push it as the song continues]

Thomas: Wake up!

Nia: Don't be so grumpy, Thomas!

Thomas, Nia and the Trucks: Cheer up!

There's so many things to try!

Wake up!

The world is all around you!

As big as the beautiful sky

Don't let the world pass you by

Si lazima dunia kupita wewe na

[The song ends with the sun setting as they went along]

Thomas: Africa is a wonderful country.

Nia: Africa is not a country, Thomas. Africa is a continent. We've pass through many different countries already and we'II past even more before we reach Dar Es Salaam.

Mtambo: She's right, Thomas. We'II be there soon enough.

[Then a rumbling noise is heard and Thomas saw where it's coming from and brake to stop because in front of him on the tracks is a angry elephant which is huge compared to Asian elephants at the Animal Park on Sodor]

Irelanders: Whoa!

Thomas: Nia! Back up, Back up!

Nia: I thought you said that you are used to animals on the tracks.

Thomas: Yes! But we don't have ginormous sized elephants on Sodor!

Chris Kratt: Well, African elephants are bigger than Asian elephants.

Martin Kratt: We learn the differences between the two species of elephant in Asia.

Nia: Well, I wouldn't advise you to blow your whistle at him or your horns. He might charge at you.

Thomas: Maybe we should go a different way.

Nia: I can't see any other way to go right now. Can you?

[The elephant scrapes the ground with it's foot, trumpets then charges at Thomas who screams at the sight of it. The trucks begin singing again]
 * Go to sleep
 * (Enda Ulale, Enda Ulale)
 * Go to sleep
 * (Enda Ulale, Enda Ulale)
 * Close your eyes
 * (Enda Ulale, Enda Ulale)
 * And go to sleep
 * (Enda Ulale)


 * We're in a hurry
 * (Enda Ulale)
 * But don't you worry
 * (Enda Ulale)
 * Go to Sleep
 * (Enda Ulale, Enda Ulale)


 * We're in a hurry
 * (Enda Ulale)
 * But don't you worry
 * (Enda Ulale)
 * Go to sleep
 * (Enda Ulale, Enda Ulale)


 * We're in a hurry
 * (Enda Ulale)
 * But don't you worry
 * (Enda Ulale)
 * Go to sleep
 * (Enda Ulale, Enda Ulale, Enda Ulale)

[The elephant stops charging, calms down, move his truck on Thomas' face and walks away to a nearby tree where the other elephants are resting and lays down and falls asleep]

Spike: Wow. The trucks just saved our lives.

Tubb: SWIMMIN'!

Thomas: Whew. (giggles) These trucks are very different to the ones we have back on Sodor. They're hardly nearly as troublesome.

Nia: That's what we've been saying. Africa is an amazing continent and very different to your Sodor.

Koki: It's a small island off the coast of England.

Rainbow Dash: (now seeing the trucks' different behavior) Now I understand that these trucks are not the troublesome ones like back on Sodor.

April O'Neil: See? I told you so.

[The trucks continue singing as they move on to Dar Es Salaam. Back at Darker Docks, The Fat Controller is asking about Thomas' whereabouts to the African people in front of him]

The Fat Controller: Ah, yes. Um, he's a blue tank engine. He has the number one painted on the side of him. Yes. Oh, oh. Do you not remember seeing him? He was following some racing cars. Oh.

Voice: Racing cars?

The Fat Controller: Huh?

[He turns to see a man wearing a strange clothing on his head and over his face walking from the shadows with camels besides him]

Man: Ah. Racing cars went off into the Sahara.

[The Fat Controller look at the direction the man's pointing]

The Fat Controller: The Sahara?

[He turns to see that the man was gone. He appeared behind him, holding his briefcase]

Man: Indeed.

The Fat Controller: Aaah! (he almost drop the picture of Thomas but catch it in time) The desert? Is there even a railway track through the Sahara..... Aah!

[A camel grabs his hat and hold it above his head]

The Fat Controller: Hey! Give that back!

Man: (laughs) Oh, you must forgive Ijin He loves to try new kinds of foods.

[Ijin eat the top hat, much to the Fat Controller's utter annoyance]

[The scene changes to Dar Es Salaam where the Irelanders, Thomas and Nia arrived]

Nia: So here we are, guys. This is Dar Es Salaam. Tanzania.

Trucks: We're home!

Connor Lacey: Wow!

Spike: Look at this place!

Irelanders: Whoa!

Mtambo: It has been a long time since I've been here.

Connor Lacey: You have, Mtambo?

Mtambo: Yes, Connor. I visit many places in Africa and Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania is one of them.

Connor Lacey: Ooh. I never would have guessed that.

Thomas: Great! OK, everybody. Now, you need to keep your eyes open for our friend. You can't miss him. He's bright yellow so he looks really cool. And he can spin around really fast! He's called Ace! (gasps)

[The trucks saw yellow things like bananas and umbrellas. A crane lift some crates to reveal a van but not Ace]

Nia: Ace? Who's Ace?

Thomas: (groans)

Nia: I thought you didn't know anybody in Africa, eh? I thought you and your friends have never been here before.

Thomas: No, we haven't. Ace and we came to Africa together, Nia. We're going to go all the way around the world!

Nia: Together? You're going around the world together? I thought you wanted to do everything by yourself. I thought you didn't need any help.

Thomas: Well, Ace isn't, (stammers) helping me. (strains) it's just that he's racing on five different continents, in five cross country rallies along with Lightning McQueen, Cruz Ramirez and Francesco Bernoulli.

[Then Nia heard a deep whistle coming from nearby]

Nia: Hello! Hey! Hello!

Thomas: Is that Ace?

Nia: No, no, no, no. It's my friend, Kwaku.

[A red Garret engine approaches from the opposite direction. Lightning, Dusty and Cruz are with him]

Kwaku: Nia? Is that really you?

Thomas: Oh. I wonder if your friend, Kwaku seen Ace.

Kwaku: Nia! How are you?

Nia: (laughs) All very well, thank you, Kwaku.

Mtambo: Kwaku. Remember me?

Kwaku: Mtambo! How are you?

Thomas: Excuse me.

Kwaku: How are your wheels? How is your boiler? How are your pistons? Have the tracks been taking you where you want to go? And are your fellow engines treating you well?

Nia: Yes, they are, thank you. And how are you? How are your wheels? How is your boiler? How are your pistons? Have the tracks been taking you where you want to go? And are your fellow engines treating you well?

[Thomas give a deadpan look]

Kwaku: (chuckles) Everything and everyone is pretty good today. Thank you, Nia.

Thomas: Wow! You three took a long time to say hello.

Connor Lacey: Yeah. Hey, Lightning, where's Francesco?

Francesco: I'm here, Connor.

Finbar: Glad to hear it.

Alising: Wow! Look at Kwaku! He's huge!

Ono: I can see that.

Maisie Lockwood: What kind of engine is he?

Twilight Sparkle: He's a garrett engine. They are built to pull very heavy trains.

Captain Jake: Whoa, that is impressive.

Connor Lacey: Indeed. Those must be the strongest engines in the world.

Mewtwo: And it seems that we met one now.

Lightning McQueen: Who's the orange tank engine lady?

Mtambo: She's called Nia. She's an old friend of mine in Kenya like me.

Reg: She help us get through the Sahara desert and deliver these trucks here.

Nia: I sure did. Nice to meet you all.

Dusty Crophopper: Nice to meet you too.

Thomas: Excuse me, uh, but can I just ask you something quick? Please, Kwaku?

Kwaku: (chuckles) I suppose you better, huh? [chuckles again] Before you burn your boiler dry. [chuckles with Nia]

Thomas: Have you seen a little yellow racing car called Ace around here? I'm supposed to be meeting him.

Kwaku: Hmmm. There were lots of racing cars here earlier.

Thomas: There were?

Kwaku: You should have seen them, Nia. (chuckles) Zipping about there like mosquitos going back and forth across the tracks. (makes zooming noises and chuckles)

Thomas: (chuckles) And.....

Kwaku: Well, they're all gone now. So the yard is quiet again. Personally, I prefer it that way. (chuckles)

Thomas: (sighs)

Amelia: Do you cars know where Ace is?

Cruz Ramirez: Well, he was here with us earlier but then he disappeared so we don't know where he went.

Brooke: Oh, right. That's a disappointment.

[Then a guard's whistle blew at the back of Kwaku's train]

Kwaku: Uh-oh. I have to be on my way again. (chuckles) Goodbye, Nia. Goodbye, Nia's friend.

Nia: Bye, Kwaku. See you soon.

Thomas: (sighs) Ace must have gone ahead without us.

Nia: Hmm. He doesn't sound like a very good friend.

Thomas: What do you mean? Ace is a great friend. He's fast and exciting. And he does what he wants. He's a racing car, Nia. Free and easy.

Elsa: Thomas, I'm sure that Ace is somewhere around there.

Connor Lacey: Elsa does have a point.

Thomas: I was probably just too slow getting here with all these trucks to pull.

Nia: So what are you going to do now, Thomas? Can I help?

Thomas: No, Nia. No, you can't. You might as well go home now, OK? I'II just find a ship and go to Rio by ourselves. Wherever that is.

[He head off to find a ship to get on and as evening starts to fell, he got loaded onto a ship and the men unhooked him and secured him with chains to keep him still on the boat]

Nia: Hey-hey, guys!

[Thomas look up to see Nia being loaded onto the ship as well]

Thomas: What are you doing? I thought you were going home again. You're not supposed to be on this ship.

Nia: Cheer up. I'm coming with you, in case you meet another angry elephant or something you know. (giggles)

[Thomas blush in embarrassment]

Nia: And anyway, I've always wanted to see the world too.

Thomas: What?! That was my idea!

Nia: You're not the only one who can have ideas, Thomas. I've always wanted to visit other places. There are so many things to see and discover. In China, they have mountains that look like rainbows.

Thomas: Really? Rainbow mountains.

[He imagines himself climbing up the side of a rainbow coloured mountain]

Nia: I know! Doesn't it sound amazing?

Thomas: But Ace said that I was gonna be the first railway engine to go all the way around the world.

Nia: Then I can be the second.

Mtambo: And I can be the third.

Pinkie Pie: We could defiantly use a friend out here.

Kim Possible: Yeah. (to Nia) You are welcome to come along with us on our trip around the world, Nia.

Nia: Thanks, Kim. (to Thomas) Besides, why isn't Ace here, huh? Why isn't he helping you?

Thomas: Because,,,, (stammers) I don't need any help.

Nia: Everybody needs help, Thomas.

Amelia: Yeah, she does have a point.

[The ship's' horn sounds as it starts to move away from the docks]

Nia: Too late now anyway. (giggles) Looks like you're stuck with me instead of him, huh?

[They set out to sea as the sun sets. That night as Nia sleeps, Thomas glares at her while the cars watches the view. A gust of wind blows, making a tarpaulin flap up and down, revealing a yellow tire and a number 43 on the door underneath. Thomas recognizes it]

Thomas: Ace?

[The tarpaulin flies off revealing Ace]

Ace: G'day, mates! Glad you all can make it.

Thomas: Glad I can make it? I didn't know where you've gone or which ship to get on and I don't even know where to go to next after Rio.

Ace: Well, that's the best way. Free and easy. Take it as it comes.

Cruz Ramirez: Ace, we were wondering where you'd got to.

Connor Lacey: Yeah. We could have been left behind in Africa.

Thomas: Connor's right. Why didn't you wait for me?

Ace: You didn't need me to wait for you. I knew you figured it out. By yourselves. Like me. Seeing the sights, doing your own thing. You don't need any baggage to tie ya down.

Thomas: Baggage? What baggage?

[Ace gestures to Nia who is still asleep]

Ace: I heard you all talking. All I'm saying is don't let anyone get in your way. You don't want someone else telling you what to do. You wanna have fun, don't ya?

Finn McMissile: Ace, life isn't all about fun and games. It's also about responsibility, being serious about things and following orders and rules.

Shira: Yeah. And we don't get in each others way. We have more fun and adventures when we're together.

Twilight Sparkle: And it's good to have friends by your side and they're not a baggage and never slow us down.

Ace: I get what you guys mean but I prefer to be free and easy all the same. See ya in port, mates. I should get a little shut-eye before the next race.

[Some workman put the tarpaulin back on Ace who falls asleep]

Tubb: [yawns] He's right. We should get some sleep.

Maisie Lockwood: Night, everyone.

Connor Lacey: Night.

Buck: All right, you guys get some shut-eye. I'II keep watch.

Crash: Don't worry, Buck. We got this. Night time is possum time.

Eddie: Yeah. We own the night, baby.

Twilight Sparkle: Good night, Spike. (giggles) Sweet dreams, number one assistant.

[The Irelanders fall asleep on the deck]

Thomas: Good night, mate.

[Thomas fell asleep. The scene changes to the ocean in globe form with an arrow moving across it leaving red lines behind. It moves towards Brazil where it stops and it changes to a view of a harbour where the ship has docked and Nia is awake]

Nia: (giggles) Oh, listen to that music. We're in Rio de Janeiro, guys. Brazil, South America.

Jack Skellington: Amazing.

Francesco Bernoulli: Bellisimo. This is a-where Raul and Carla Veloso live.

Dottie: Wow.

Connor Lacey: This is the most coolest trip I've ever have.

Twilight Sparkle: I agree, Connor. This is going to be great.

[Thomas saw that Ace is gone]

Thomas: Ace?

[He is lifted up by a crane who is humming to herself and he is on the rails when he saw Ace on the road next to him]

Thomas: Oh! There you are.

Ace: Continent number 2, Thomas. South America. Ole!

Violet Parr: Nice Spanish.

Ace: Thanks, Sheila.

Gavin: So, what's the
