The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas and Friends: Journey Beyond Sodor/Transcript

[The film opens with an overhead view of Sodor before panning down and showing various locations on the island and the engines]

Narrator: The Island of Sodor is the home of the North Western Railway, with engines of all shapes and sizes, working hard to deliver goods and passengers to their destinations. There are branch lines that run along the coast of the island, serving the docks, the fishing villages and the seaside towns. There are branch lines that run to the farms, quarries and ancient castles of the island's heartland. And there is the main line.....

Gordon: Express coming through!

Narrator: ....which runs all the way from Knapford on the west coast of the island, to Vicarstown, in the east. The line continues over the Vicarstown Bridge, where it connects to the mainland beyond.

[Henry is then shown pulling a goods train towards Vicarstown]

Narrator: Henry was pulling a very important goods train on his way to the mainland.

[Henry whistles as he pass Connor on the viaduct of Vicarstown]

Van: Faster! Faster! Hurry up, Henry!

Troublesome Trucks: We haven't got all day! (giggling)

Narrator: A faulty signal should have warned Henry there was another goods train stuck on the track up ahead.

Henry: Oh!

Narrator: Then, everything happened at once!

Troublesome Trucks: Whoa! Argh!

Henry: No!

[Henry rams into the back of Hiro's train as everything plays out in slow motion]

Troublesome Trucks: (groans and yells)

Henry: (yelling) Ahh!

[Henry smashes through the wall and tilts forward but doesn't fall and left dangling above the road. Cars screech to a stop, people gasp and policemen run over to see what's going on]

Narrator: Poor Henry wouldn't be going to the mainland now.

Henry: Ohh.....

[The opening credits play and the title The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas & Friends: Journey Beyond Sodor appears. The scene changes to the tree where the birds and the squirrels went down from the tree and run and fly with the rabbits as Thomas puffs into view]

Thomas: Whoo-hoo! Whoo! Hello, bunnies! Hello, squirrels! Hello, birds! Hello, trees! Hello, sky!

Toby: Morning, Thomas!

Thomas: Good morning, Toby!

Jem Cole and workman: Hi, Thomas! Thomas!

[Trevor whistles in reply]

Thomas: Ah, what a lovely day! It's bright and sunny and everybody on Sodor seems happy! Don't days like this make you feel like bursting into song?

[He opens his mouth to sing when James cut in, singing Somebody Has To Be The Favourite]

James: Somebody has to be the favourite!

The one that everybody wants to see!

Thomas: James!

Somebody has to be better than the rest!

Somebody has to be so good that they're the best!

Somebody has to be the favourite

Somebody has to be me!

James: Here's James! (chuckling)

Thomas: You're not the favourite, James!

James: Of course I am, Thomas. Ask anybody!

Thomas: No, you're not! And anyway, I was going to sing a song then, not you!

James: Well, go ahead and sing if you want to. I'm not stopping you. Quiet, everybody!

[Everyone stops what they're doing and look at James and Thomas]

People: Huh?

James: Thomas wants to sing a song!

Thomas: Oh, ha-ha. No, James! I'm not.... (sees a girl holding a yellow balloon who smiles at him) Oh, OK.

[He opens his mouth again and inhales to sing but James whistles and starts singing again while everyone dances along]

James: Sometimes you have to blow your whistle!

To let the other engines know you're near!

Sometimes you have to make a racket and to shout!

In order to ensure that they're not left in any doubt!

Somebody has to be the favourite!

Say hello! The favourite is here!

Philip: Hello, James!

Thomas: You're not the Fat Controller's favourite engine, James!

James: Really? Then how come I keep getting all the best jobs? Isn't your next job collecting pigs from Farmer Trotter's? (doing pig's grunting)

Thomas: Well, yes, but......

James: Want to know what my next job is?

Thomas: Well....

James: My next job is transporting beautiful music! (whistles)

Thomas: That's not true! You're just making that up! (whistling)

[The scene changes to Thomas picking up pigs at Farmer Trotter's farm, feeling quite glum as the Irelanders arrived]

Connor Lacey: Hi, Thomas.

Thomas: Oh. Hi, Connor.

Twilight Sparkle: What's wrong, Thomas? Aren't you happy to see us again?

Thomas: Well, I am happy to see you, guys.

Chris Kratt: Then why the long face?

Thomas: It's James. He keeps boasting about being the Fat Controller's favourite engine. I know showing off and conceited is who James is every now and again but the favourite stuff is just so annoying, especially he boasted about always getting the best jobs while I do boring ones like collecting pigs!

Maisie Lockwood: Thomas! Just because James acts the way he does, it doesn't mean that you need to be cross with him about it.

Thomas: I know, Maisie, but it is annoying.

Lightning McQueen: Well, Thomas is right. There's no way James is the The Fat Controller's favourite.

Dusty Crophopper: Yeah. If any engine's his favourite, it would be Thomas since he's the number one engine.

Princess Pearl: Oh, great. Now we're gonna have to deal with a debate of who's The Fat Controller's favorite.

Mewtwo: Indeed, Pearl.

Kion: Any chance you know what job James' doing, Thomas?

Thomas: Well, he claims to transport some beautiful music but I think he's making it up.

Ono: (seeing some engine coming) Uh, I don't think he was making it up. Look.

[Thomas and the Irelanders look to see James puffing past with passengers and the brass band on board the open topped carriages, much to their surprise]

James: (humming)

Applejack: Didn't see that one coming.

Fuli: Now, I've seen everything.

Captain Jake: Yep. No doubt about it.

Connor Lacey: Guess James wasn't making it up after all, Thomas.

Thomas: (sighs)

Zazu: Well, you guys would not believe what happened on my morning report.

Sunset Shimmer: What's that, Zazu?

Zazu: Well, it turns out, Henry has had an accident at Vicarstown.

Irelanders: What?!

Fluttershy: Oh, the poor thing. I hope he's not too badly hurt.

Zazu: Well, it turns out he crashed into the back of Hiro's train, crashed through a wall and dangles over the side of the viaduct.

Scooby-Doo: Roh, boy.

Aviva Corcovado: That's not good.

Zazu: But don't worry, help will be on the way.

Connor Lacey: Good. Hopefully, he'll be fixed soon.

Discord: I quite agree. I mean this isn't the first time an engine has derailed by an accident and dangled over something dangerously high.

[Flashbacks of Misty Island Rescue, Blue Mountain Mystery and Philip to the Rescue plays by Discord's chaotic magic]

Raven Queen: Yes, thank you, Discord. That will do.

Maisie Lockwood: Now, we better deliver the pigs.

Spike: Good idea, Maisie.

[The scene changes to Henry being lifted by Judy and Jerome]

Railway worker: Bring it up.

Henry: Oh....

Railway worker: Keep coming! Nice and easy. Turn it around, turn it around.

Henry: Oh.

[Henry was lowered onto the flatbed and moans. The Fat Controller is in his office, talking on the phone and moving models of Edward and James over to the other end of the Sodor map besides Henry's model to monitor the situation and Edward, Henry and James' positions in Vicarstown]

The Fat Controller: Oh, dear. Well, thank goodness nobody was hurt! That's all I can say. (chuckling) That's right, expect Henry to be arriving at the Steamworks shortly. Edward is already at Vicarstown collecting him with the breakdown train. Oh, I'm used to swapping engines around, it's what I do all the time. I'll find another engine to take James' passenger coaches and he can collect those trucks first thing in the morning.

[Thomas was puffing through Knapford when he heard The Fat Controller talking about James taking the goods train to the Mainland. He giggles, getting an idea]

Thomas: (chuckling) I bet James won't like that job! James doesn't like pulling trucks!

[Thomas and the Irelanders head to the yard where James is reversing his coaches into a siding]

Thomas: Guess what, James? You're going to be pulling a goods train tomorrow morning!

James: (gasps in shock)

Thomas: While I will be working with my faithful coaches again, Annie and Clarabel.

Annie: Naturally!

Clarabel: As usual! (giggling)

Rarity: Sorry if you didn't get another one of those "best jobs", darling.

James: A Goods train? A goods train? A..... (stop, realizing something) Oh, wait. You must mean that very important goods train that's bound for the mainland. (laughs)

Irelanders: Huh?!

James: That's a great job, Thomas! What an adventure!

[He puffs forward as he starts singing Somebody Has to be the Favorite again]

James: Somebody has to be the favourite!

That's just the way it is, you must agree!

Some get to see the world and travel far away!

While other engines have a place they always have to stay!

Somebody has to be the favourite!

Somebody has to be me!

Somebody has to be me!

[He puffs away]

Sunset Shimmer: That's strange. James doesn't usually like pulling trucks.

Bob Parr/Mr Incredible: Well, that went poorly.

Annie: Oof. Don't even listen to him, guys. He's only teasing.

Clarabel: Again!

Fred Jones: He sure can sing. I'll give him that.

Koki: He sure can. But our plan to get back at James failed.

[The Fat Controller is with the stationmaster when Thomas and the Irelanders arrive]

The Fat Controller: Ah, right, thank you.

Thomas: It's not fair! James gets all the important jobs!

The Fat Controller: Important jobs? What important jobs? Are you talking about taking that goods train to Bridlington?

Connor Lacey: Yes, sir. Is Bridlington a place in England?

The Fat Controller: Yes, Connor, it is.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, I've looked on information about Bridlington. It's a place in England that is located on the Holderness Coast of the North Sea, a town just at 28 miles (45 km) north of Hull and 34 miles (55 km) east of York.

Iago: Wow. You really look on stuff in books on our adventures, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: I know, Iago.

The Fat Controller: That is great smarts, but that's hardly the only important job! What about The Flying Kipper? Or the Mail Train? Or delivering the milk? Or collecting passengers from the cruise ships?

Thomas: I know, sir. But James says...

The Fat Controller: Even looking after your branch line is an important jobs, Thomas! Now, if you'II excuse me, I have some important jobs of my own to attend to, what with Henry out of action and James off to the mainland tomorrow! Who can I get to deliver those cheese vats to Vicarstown?

[The scene changes to Tidmouth Sheds at night]

Narrator: That night in the sheds, Thomas was still very cross about James.

Thomas: It's just so annoying, Percy! He keeps saying he's the Fat Controller's favourite engine! And tomorrow he's going off to the mainland to have a big adventure, while I'm stuck here doing the same jobs I always do! (seeing Percy turning on the turntable) Huh? Percy! You're not even listening!

Percy: Oh, I am, Thomas. But I have to take the Mail Train now!

[Percy puffs off]

Thomas: Oh, it's not fair.

Connor Lacey: Thomas, I know it's not fair, but sometimes, you have to put up with things that life throws your way.

Mushu: Yeah. (He saw James coming) And look who's coming.

[James spin around on the turntable to reverse to his berth]

James: Some get to see the world and travel far away!

While other engines have a place they always have to stay!

Violet Parr: Ugh, there he goes again with that annoying song.

Mewtwo: Violet, I know the song's annoying but we have to deal with it.

Fuli: Well, hopefully James will sing something else and see that he's not the Fat Controller's favorite engine.

Fireman Sam: Oh, great, now Fuli's in on the debate.

James Jones: There's a debate? About my red engine counterpart?

Fireman Sam: Apparently, James, yes.

Ash Ketchum: Well, everyone's right, Sam.

Fireman Sam: What do you mean everyone's right, Ash?

Ash Ketchum: There's no way James' the favourite to The Fat Controller.

Pikachu: Pika.

Fireman Sam: Oh, not you two as well.

Twilight Sparkle: Um, maybe we can discuss this in the morning.

Connor Lacey: Twilight's right, guys. It's getting late.

Fireman Sam: Night, everyone.

James Jones: (yawns) Night, Uncle Sam.

Ash Ketchum: Night, Pikachu.

Pikachu: Pikachu.

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

Connor Lacey: Well, good night, everyone.

[The Irelanders went to sleep, except Thomas who stays awake and sighs]

Thomas: Hmph! Oh, why can't I go to the mainland?

Narrator: But then, an idea flew into Thomas' funnel.

Thomas: (giggling)

[He giggles cheekily, getting an idea. The scene changes to early the next morning when James arrived at Vicarstown Goods Yard to collect Henry's goods train but he can't find them]

Narrator: The next morning, James went to Vicarstown goods yard to collect his trucks.

[He saw Rosie shunting some trucks nearby]

James: Rosie, where are my trucks? What have you done with them?

Rosie: Uh, which trucks do you mean, James?

James: The trucks that Henry was pulling when he had his accident! The Fat Controller said it was very important to take them to the mainland today!

Rosie: Oh! Those trucks! Yes. I know those trucks are important. That's why Thomas came so early! As well as Connor and the Irelanders.

James: (surprised) Thomas? Irelanders? What's Thomas and the Irelanders' got to do with it?

[The scene changes to Thomas puffing over the Vicarstown Bridge with James' goods train]

Thomas: Sometimes you have to get up early!

If there's some place you really want to be!

Sometimes you have to be awake before the dawn!

Sometimes you're up and out before they know you're gone!

Somebody has to be the favourite!

And this time it's going to be me!

This time it's going to be me!

This time it's going to be me!

Van: Are we there yet?

Troublesome Trucks: (giggling)

[The scene changes to the Steamworks where Henry is being repaired]

Narrator: Meanwhile, poor Henry was in the Steamworks, waiting to be repaired.

The Fat Controller: Oh, dear, oh, dear. How long do you expect him to be out of action?

[James arrives looking very cross]

James: He's taken my train, sir! Oh, yes! That's what he's done!

The Fat Controller: Who's taken what train? What on Earth are you talking about, James?

James: Thomas! I'm talking about Thomas! He's taken my goods train, sir. The one that had to go to the mainland! The Irelanders are with him too.

[The Fat Controller brightens up instead of being cross as usual which is different and strange]

The Fat Controller: That's excellent! Then you can work on Thomas' branch line toady, James!

James: Thomas' branch line? But you said I was going to the mainland! That was my job!

The Fat Controller: Well, it's my job to swap engines around.

James: Yes, I know.....

The Fat Controller: That's what a railway controller does!

James: Well, of course, but....

The Fat Controller: He keeps all his engines busy.

James: What if.....

The Fat Controller: Being useful.

Victor and Kevin: Huh?

[Victor and Kevin hurry away to get back to work]

The Fat Controller: Now, who can I get to take all those coconuts back to Arlesburgh?

James: Ohh....

[The scene changes to the mainland where Thomas is puffing along the viaduct with James' goods train]

Thomas: (whistling) Whoo-hoo! (laughing) Whoo!

Narrator: Meanwhile on the mainland, Thomas was having an adventure.

Thomas: Wow! Look at that big building over there. Oh, I wonder what that factory makes? Ha-ha! Oh, did you see the colour of those houses? Bright blue! Ha-ha! Nobody on Sodor would paint their house bright blue!

Van: What are you going on about, Thomas?

Thomas: Everything! Just look around you! We're on the mainland now!

Van: (Sarcastically) Ooh! What's so special about the mainland?

Tanker: It's all just grass and trees as far as I can see.

Truck: Lucky you! All I can see is another truck's backside!

Troublesome Trucks: (giggling)

Rarity: Oh, would you all please quiet down back there?!

Maisie Lockwood: Yeah. You're giving us a headache!

Thomas: There are lots of new things to see here! The buildings are different and the bridges and the..... Oh, look!

[He and the Irelanders look to see a big junction up ahead]

Dusty Crophopper: Holy Smokes!

Kion: Hevi kabisa!

Misty: Wow!

Thomas: I wonder what junction that is up ahead?

Van: I'd say it's Lostville!

Tanker: Maybe it's Confusington!

Truck: Castle Who-Knows-Where!

Thomas: I'm not lost, you silly trucks!

Troublesome Trucks: Off the Map Central!

Thomas: I know exactly where I'm going.

Truck 1: But do you know where you are?

Truck 2: He's trying to be important!

Truck 3: Is it important to go the wrong way!

Truck 4: I think you need to go left!

Truck 5: Don't listen to him, he's facing backwards. Turn right!

Thomas: Would you all please be quiet?

[The trucks stay silent for a few seconds then....]

Van: Are we there yet?

[The trucks start laughing again, much to the Irelanders' frustration and annoyance]

Van: Use your brain!

Truck: Doesn't have one!

Thomas: Stop trying to confuse me! You're distracting the driver!

Station Officer Steele: Cut the chatter down back there! You're putting him off course!

Thomas: Whoa! Oh!

[Thomas got more confused by the signs, points and engines around him until he went into a tunnel. Back on Sodor, James races out of another tunnel pulling Annie and Clarabel on Thomas' branch line, very fast]

Annie and Clarabel: Slow down! Slow down, James, slow down!

James: The faster I go, the sooner I can get back and ask the Fat Controller for a better job!

Annie and Clarabel: (yelling) A better job?

[James approaches Maithwaite]

James: Hello, Maithwaite!

[He screeches to a stop]

Annie and Clarabel: (groaning)

Clarabel: James! You've stopped beyond the platform again!

[James look back to see that she's right and the stationmaster glaring at him]

James: (sighs) Yeah, yeah, yeah....

[He reverses to the platform to let his passengers off]

James: I know, I know. It was an accident. Okay?

Annie: I do hope Thomas gets back soon.

Clarabel: So do I.

James: What are you all muttering about back there? I can hear you, you know.

[The scene changes to a small bridge over a river where a swan is swimming as Thomas and the Irelanders go across the bridge]

Narrator: But Thomas was far away on the mainland and he wasn't going to be back anytime soon.

Thomas: (laughs) You know, I still can't believe how I tricked James this morning.

Van: And I still can't believe we haven't reached that goods yard yet.

Truck: I can!

[The trucks laugh]

Van: Are we there yet?

Fred Jones: No! Soon!

Thomas: I know it's taking a bit longer than I thought, but why don't you relax and enjoy the journey? It can't be that much further.

Voice: Halt!

[A boat drops down in front of them, making Thomas slam on his brakes and the trucks to tilt forward]

Truck: What's the big idea?

Voice: Who goes there?

[They look up and see a big blue gantry crane staring down at them with a suspicious look on his face]

Thomas: Hello there. Is this Bridlington Goods Yard?

Beresford: Bridlington? No! Bridlington's miles from here. (chuckles)

Connor Lacey: But, are we going the right direction?

Beresford: How should I know? Sometimes I go back here. (goes backwards) Whoo-hoo! (chuckles) And sometimes I go up here. (laughs while moving forward) And I can spin around and look at the view from every direction.

[His hook hits him on the nose, making a clown nose honk sound]

Beresford: Ow! But I've never been to Bridlington. What's it like, eh?

Van: Don't ask him!

Truck: He hasn't been there, either.

Truck: And at this rate, he's never going to to get there!

Troublesome Trucks: (laughs)

Discord: (putting his antler and goat horn in his ears in annoyance)

Thomas: Oh, these trucks are very annoying. But they're right. Please, Mr Crane. I really have to keep going.

Beresford: And why exactly should I let you go? You haven't even answered my question yet!

Twilight Sparkle: And what question is that may I ask?

Beresford: Who goes there? Meaning, who are you?

Thomas: Oh... I'm Thomas.

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.

Captain Jake: Captain Jake of the Neverland Pirates.

Maisie Lockwood: I'm Maisie Lockwood.

Brock: My name's Brock. and I'm a Pokémon breeder.

Misty: And I'm Misty. My specialty is water Pokemon.

Ash Ketchum: My name's Ash Ketchum and I'm trying to be a Pokemon master.

Pikachu: Pika!

Ash Ketchum: Oh, yeah, and this is Pikachu.

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Fireman Sam: I'm Fireman Sam of the Pontypandy Fire Service.

Ladybug: I'm Miraculous Ladybug.

Mewtwo: I am Mewtwo.

Martin Kratt: I'm Martin Kratt.

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

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

Irelanders: We're the Irelanders.

Beresford: Thomas? Who's Thomas? Hmm....

[He starts to sing Who's Thomas?, much to Thomas and the Irelanders' confusion]

Beresford: Thomas? You're Thomas? Well, I don't know who Thomas is,

So why should I let this Thomas simply hurry on his way?

Thomas? You're Thomas? Speak up now I'm asking you,

Who's Thomas, what's Thomas? What have you got to say?

Thomas: I'm Thomas, I'm a tank engine, I'm from a place called Sodor,

I'm heading for the goods yard where these trucks are meant to go,

I don't know why I've stopped here, apart from the thing you dropped here,

So if you could lift it up again...

Oh, what do you want to know?

Troublesome Trucks: He's lost, he's lost, and Thomas is his name!

He wanted to be important, now he's only himself to blame!

[The trucks laugh with everyone glaring at them. Beresford starts lifting the boat up to let them pass but as Thomas starts to move forward, he drops it in front of them]

Beresford: Thomas? Who's Thomas? I've never heard of Thomas,

Nor me. I know. You're me. That's true. I'm talking to myself!

Now Thomas, little Thomas. You say that's what your name is,

But I still don't know who you are, so tell me something else!

Thomas: I'm Thomas, I'm a tank engine, and some would say I'm cheeky,

And maybe I am cheeky cause I took these trucks from James.

Troublesome Trucks: Yeah!

Thomas: But I was stuck on Sodor, where it's the same old railway,

So I took them to the Mainland which I thought would make a change.

Troublesome Trucks: He's lost, he's lost. He'll have to tell his boss!

If we don't get a move on, then Sir Topham will be cross!

[The trucks laugh again, making everyone glares at them. Beresford looks down at them with a sad expression on his face]

Beresford: So many places you could go, so many things to see.

And like the birds up in the sky, an engine's life is free...

[A flock of birds flew by and Beresford sings free went off-key which makes the Irelanders and Thomas cringe while the trucks look up at him in surprise]

Beresford: Ahem.

So engines always rush about, they never like to wait.

They always have some reason like they're late, or late, or late...

But if you'd like to travel on, you must do something more,

You'll have to tell me something new I've never heard before!

Thomas: Something new?

Beresford: Something new!

Thomas: Does it have to be true?

Beresford: It has to be true!

Thomas: Ohh...

Troublesome Trucks: He's lost, he's lost, he hasn't got a clue!

He doesn't know what to say at all, he doesn't know what to do.

Beresford: Ha-ha! Is that right!?

Thomas: Could you be quiet back there, I'm trying to think!

Ash Ketchum: Yeah, try something like how I told him I wanted to be a Pokémon master.

Troublesome Trucks: Don't try too hard! You'll burst your boiler! Poor Thomas, on the Mainland, nobody even knows his name!

Thomas: That's it!

I'm Thomas, I'm Thomas, but you've never heard of Thomas?

Beresford: No, I've never heard of Thomas.

[Thomas and the Irelanders starts to reverse to the points]

Thomas: That's my name, it's true!

I'm Thomas, I'm Thomas,

Beresford: Yes?

Thomas: And if you've never heard of me, then when I said I was Thomas,

I was telling you something new!

Beresford: Something new?

Thomas: And having told you that I think we're through!

Beresford: Wait What did you do? Thomas, come back! My name's Beresford, by the way! (his hook hits him on the nose again) Thanks for asking! Mmm....

[Thomas and the Irelanders disappear from view and later on, they went into a dark wood which is very dark]

Narrator: There was still no sign of Bridlington Goods Yard. And by late afternoon, Thomas's coal bunker was nearly empty!

Thomas: Oh, dear.

Van: Now what?

Truck: We're lost in the woods.

Truck: I told you he didn't have a brain.

Truck 1: Or a map!

Truck 2: Or any coal.

Thomas: Shh! Look! There's a place up ahead. (gasps) Maybe we'II find some coal there.

Tanker: I don't think so.

[Then, they came to a sign to a goods yard]

Truck: This doesn't look like a goods yard.

Van: No. It looks like a bads yard.

Van: A very bads yard.

Shaggy Rogers: Like, this place gives me the creeps.

Scooby Doo: Re too.

[Just then, Thomas comes to a stop and so do Dusty and McQueen who's tanks are empty]

Van: (nervously) Uh..... Are we there yet?

Raven Queen: For the last time, no!

Zog: (sighs) They're getting so annoying.

Lightning McQueen: Oh this is great! Just great! I can never forget the last time that this happened!

Dusty Crophopper: What do you mean, McQueen?

Lightning McQueen: It happened right before we even met you or Thomas, Dusty.

Thomas: Hello? (echos)

Norman Price: That's funny. There's no one about. (he calls into a old pipe very loudly) HELLO?

[The echo of his loud call scares Maisie who leaps behind a pile and the heroes cringe by the noise]

Fuli: Norman! You've scared Maisie with your shouting!

[Maisie pops out, shaking with fear and hyperventilating with shock]

Norman Price: Oops. Sorry about that, Maisie.

Maisie Lockwood: It's alright, Norman. Just didn't expect that coming.

Van: Ha, great job, Thomas!

Van: You are a really useless engine!

Daphne Blake: He is not! He just ran out of coal, that's all.

[Then, Thomas saw a puff of steam moving beside one of the buildings]

Thomas: Hello? Huh?

[Then, they saw a seemingly odd-looking steam engine with a funnel at the back coming backwards towards them]

Lexi: Hi! Hi! Hi! Pleased to meet ya.

Thomas: Huh?

Lexi: Well, hello-o-o there.

Thomas: Hello.

Lexi: Come on out, Theo! It's a visitor! Another engine. We have company!

[A geared traction engine comes into view shyly]

Lexi: That's Theo. He's shy. Lack of confidence. He thinks he looks awkward and uncoordinated.

Fluttershy: A bit like me since my name has the shy word in it and I'm shy most of the time.

Brock: I get what you mean, Fluttershy.

[Theo comes over to Thomas and the Irelanders]

Theo: Are you being scrapped?

Thomas: (surprised) Scrapped?

Lexi: Dumped. Dissembled. Taken to pieces.

Theo: Yes. Engines get scrapped when they're not useful and nobody cares about them any more.

Lexi: Don't be preposterous, Theo. This one here is a useful engine! He's pulling trucks.

Van: Not very well.

Thomas: Now, that's not fair. I have had a few problems but... Oh! Maybe you can help me out?

Theo: Us, help you?

Lexi: Huh, I doubt it.

Theo: Oh, sorry, no.

Lexi: I don't think so! Nope. Nope. Nope. You're barking up the wrong branch line there, buddy boy.

Mushu: But Thomas only needs coal and water.

Fireman Sam: And McQueen and Dusty need some fuel.

Lexi: Oh... we can help with that! Back up, Theo! Back up! Coal and water is no problem at all! We're fully stocked in the coal and water department, in case our drivers come to try new parts for make improvements.

[When they reached the coal hopper, they saw that Thomas was not following them]

Theo: Why isn't he following us, Lexi?

Lexi: Hmm. I'm not sure. (shouting) Why aren't you following us?

Thomas: I can't. I don't have any coal!

Lexi: He doesn't have any coal!

Theo: Ah!

Lexi: Come on! You'II have to tow him to the coal hopper!

Theo: Me? Ohh.....

Lexi: Come on, Theo! Whoo-hoo, all right! Hey! OK, start pulling, Theo!

Theo: (grunts)

Thomas: Maybe you should uncouple my trucks first?

Theo: Ah!

Lexi: Good idea.

[They uncouple his trucks]

Lexi: OK, Theo, give it the old one-two.

[Then, he started to pull Thomas towards the coal hopper]

Theo: (grunts)

Thomas: Thanks, Theo! My name is Thomas! I'm a tank engine. What kind of engine are you?

Theo: We are experimental engines, Thomas.

Thomas: Experimental engines? Wow! What does that mean?

Lexi: It means we're different! Test models. Trial and error. I'm cab forward! And Theo's... something experimental, too!

Theo: (chuckles)

Connor Lacey: That is quite cool.

Aviva Corcovado: Excellente.

[Theo manages to get Thomas to the coal hopper]

Theo: Oh, and there's Merlin, too!

Thomas: Merlin?

Lexi: Oh, you won't have seen Merlin! He's a stealth engine.

Misty: A stealth engine? What's that?

Lexi: (in a French accent) Stealth engines are designed to be hard to see. Out of sight! Invisible!

Thomas: Ah! An invisible engine?

Theo: Well.....

Lexi: (laughing) Let's just say he's always disappearing!

[Theo saw that water is spilling over Thomas' tank]

Theo: Uh.... Your water tank is overflowing.

Lexi: Whoa, Nellie! Up to the brim.

Applejack: Hey, you're talking like me.

Lexi: Oh, am I? I didn't know. Sorry.

Applejack: That's OK, sugarcube. It's nice that you're trying out new accents.

Thomas: Thanks for your help! But I still have my very important job to finish.

Theo: Does that means you have to go?

Lexi: He's got trucks, Theo, remember? Trucks needs to be delivered! That's what they're for!

Thomas: Oh, I almost forgot. Do either of you know where Bridlington Goods Yard is?

Lexi: Bridlington? (laughs) No idea.

Theo: Mmm, sorry, no.

Thomas: Oh.

Koki: Well, that's disappointing.

Connor Lacey: Thanks for helping us.

Twilight Sparkle: We'd better be going.

[The scene changes to Thomas and the Irelanders continuing on their way to Bridlington Goods Yard]

Narrator: So with coal in his coal bunker and his water tank full, Thomas set off once more in search of the goods yard.

Van: Are we there yet?

Van: I don't think so!

Tanker: Thomas still doesn't know where he's going!

Truck: And those other engines didn't know, either!

Darling Charming: Hey!

Windblade (PWT): He's trying to know where to go.

Mandy Flood: Brock, which track do we take to get to Bridlington?

Brock: According to my calculations, that means.....

Ash and Misty: What? What does it mean?

Brock: We're lost.

[Ash and Misty got shock and fell down]

Aviva Corcovado: (to Brock's calculations) He's right. We don't know where we are or where Bridlington is.

Samurai Jack: She does have a point.

Thomas: (gasps) But look! There's a light!

[They saw a light ahead of them in the distance]

Thomas: That's probably the goods yard now.

Van: And if it's not?

Thomas: Well, if it's not, then we can stop and ask for directions again!

Salt Van: Ha-ha. Or get another engine!

Slate Truck: Who knows where he's going!

[The trucks laugh but then stop when they see something]

Thomas: (gasps)

Troublesome Trucks: (gasps)

[In front of them is a big gate to a huge Steelworks]

Van: Thomas, I have a feeling we're not on Sodor any more.

[Thomas and the Irelanders puff inside the yard and look at the Steelworks with awe]

Van: Wow!

Truck: Would you look at that!

Irelanders: Whoa!

Thomas: Ohh.... (he saw a big sign on the building) Wow, I bet James has never been any place like this.

Deep Voice: Hello?

[Thomas stops, hearing the voice]

Female voice: Who's there?

[Two engines, a diesel who is painted black and light blue and a big tank engine who is painted brown rolled out of the Steelworks building]

Frankie: Oh, what's your names, fellas?

Thomas: Oh... My name is Thomas.

Connor Lacey: I'm Connor Lacey.

Twilight Sparkle: My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Fireman Sam: I'm Fireman Sam of the Pontypandy Fire Service.

Maisie Lockwood: I'm Maisie Lockwood.

Lightning McQueen: I'm Lightning McQueen.

Dusty Crophopper: Dusty. Dusty Crophopper.

Kim Possible: I'm Kim Possible.

Bob Parr/Mr Incredible: I'm Bob Parr. Also known as Mr Incredible.

Captain Jake: Captain Jake of the Neverland Pirates.

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

Brock: My name's Brock and I'm a Pokemon breeder.

Misty: And I'm Misty. My specialty is water Pokemon.

Ash Ketchum: My name's Ash Ketchum and I'm trying to be a Pokemon master.

Pikachu: Pika!

Ash Ketchum: Oh, yeah, and this is Pikachu.

Ash Ketchum: Pikachu!

Raven Queen: I'm Raven Queen.

Spud the Scarecrow: I'm Spud. I'm a scarecrow.

Martin Kratt: I'm Martin Kratt.

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

Shaggy Rogers: But like everybody calls me Shaggy. And that's Scooby Doo.

Fred Jones: Fred Jones. This is Velma Dinkley and Daphne Blake.

Zog: I'm Zog.

Princess Pearl: My name is Princess Pearl.

Sir Gadabout: Good evening. My name is Gadabout. Sir Gadabout the Great.

Mai Lacey: I am Mai Lacey, Connor's mother.

Hurricane: And my name is Hurricane. You know, like a storm. Whoosh!

[Sparks fly behind him for the effects of whooshing]

Thomas: Wow!

Irelanders: Whoa!

Frankie: And I'm Frankie. But you look like you must be a very important little engine!

Thomas: That's not what my friend James says! He keeps boasting about how he's the Fat Controller's favourite!

Hurricane: Oh, really?

Frankie: And what do you do when he says something like that?

Thomas: I get up extra early and take the trucks he was supposed to deliver to the mainland!

Frankie: (giggling) Well, isn't he a clever little tank engine, Hurricane!

Hurricane: And a cheeky one too, Frankie! (laughs)

Frankie: I'd say he's a keeper, wouldn't you?

[Violet looks at Frankie and Hurricane suspiciously by Frankie's mention of Thomas being a keeper]

Thomas: Do either of you know where Bridlington Goods Yard is? We have to deliver these trucks and it's nearly night-time.

Frankie: Of course we know Bridlington!

Hurricane: I deliver goods there all the time.

Thomas: You do?

Frankie: You mustn't worry about getting to the goods yard tonight. Uncouple those trucks.

Hurricane: Leave them here in the yard. We'II look after them for you and your friends, Thomas! No problemo.

Frankie: Yes. Come on inside. We'II keep you nice and warm.

Hurricane: This is the hottest place in town. (laughs) Yeah.

[The song The Hottest Place in Town starts playing as Frankie and Hurricane begin showing Thomas and the Irelanders around the Steelworks]

Frankie: I don't know where you thought you were going,

But here you are!

Hurricane: I don't know what you thought you were doing,

But you've come so far!

This is the place you were meant to be being!

Frankie: These are the sights you were meant to be seeing!

Hurricane: We'll lift your thermostat up

A degreeing or two

Hurricane and Frankie: And we're guaranteeing

That you'll be agreeing it's true (Hurricane: Woo!)

This is the hottest place in town

We'll warm you up when you're feeling down

We'll make a smile out of every frown

Hurricane: Just take a look around

At the joy we've found!

Hurricane and Frankie: This is the place you can have some fun!

Where you can feel like a number one!

We've got more sunshine than the sun!

Frankie: There's a light in our eyes

We simply can't disguise

Hurricane and Frankie: This is the hottest place in town!

(Hurricane: Yeah!) Come in and come along for the riding

Shunting lovely ladle trucks up the sidings

Rails so smooth that you'll be gliding along

And before you know it you'll be joining us in our song

This is the hottest place in town (Hurricane: Woo!)

No other like it anywhere around

You'll be king and you'll wear a crown (Hurricane: I say)

What we're trying to say

Is that we hope you'll stay

This is the place you can shine like gold!

Our jobs are cool but we're never cold!

We really think you could fit the mould!

Frankie: You'll be part of the team

You'll be living the dream

Hurricane and Frankie: This is the hottest place in town

Come in and come along for the riding

Shunting lovely ladle trucks up the sidings

Hurricane: Rails so smooth that you'll be gliding along

And before you know it you'll be joining us in our song!

Thomas: This is the hottest place in town (Frankie: Yeah!) (Hurricane: You know it!)

You'll warm me up when I'm feeling down

You'll make a smile out of every frown (Frankie: You've got it!)

Hurricane: You know you're keeping it real

When you're working with steel

Thomas: This is the place I can have some fun! (Hurricane: That's it, Thomas!) (Frankie: Woo!)

Where I can feel like number one

I've got more sunshine than the sun (Hurricane: You're number one!) (Frankie: Yeah!)

Frankie: There's no looking back now!

You're on the right track now!

Frankie, Hurricane, and Thomas: This is the hottest place in town!

[The song ends as everyone laughs]

Hurricane: Just think how jealous your friend James will be when he hears about your new job, Thomas.

Thomas: New job? I already have a very important job! I'm delivering trucks to the mainland instead of James!

Mewtwo: True but it's nighttime so you can't deliver them now. It's very late.

Frankie: Oh, quiet now, little tank engine. Your friend here is right. We can worry about those trucks of yours in the morning. What you need is a nice comfy shed where you can relax and let that busy boiler of yours cool down.

Maisie Lockwood: And a nice place to sleep for the night.

Frankie: Of course, Maisie. You and your friends can sleep here for the night too.

Connor Lacey: (yawns) Well, good night, everyone.

Irelanders: Night.

[Thomas follows Frankie to a shed with the Irelanders following them. The scene changes to Tidmouth Sheds on Sodor where the engines are resting and worried about Thomas and the Irelanders even Edward who is staying there until they return, despite that he now lives at Wellsworth with Philip ever since James crashed into the back of the sheds and that Wellsworth is right at the start of his branchline]

Narrator: That night in Tidmouth Sheds, the other engines were wondering what had happened to The Irelanders and Thomas.

Percy: They really should have been back by now.

Emily: I know. I'm feeling worried.

Edward: So am I. Do you think something's happened?

James: Oh, knowing Thomas, he probably got lost on the mainland or fell down a mine or crashed into a stationmaster's house! (he laughs until he saw Percy and Emily glaring at him) Uh? What?

Emily: It's not funny, James!

Percy: Thomas and the Irelanders could be in trouble.

James: Hmph! It serves Thomas right if he's in trouble! It was never his job to go to the mainland at all! He took my trucks without asking! And the Irelanders as well.

Percy: Maybe you could go and look for them, James.

James: Me? Why me?

Percy: Because I'd be scared. And, well, I thought you wanted to go to the mainland.

James: Hmm.

[James ponders about this while Percy look at Thomas' empty berth in concern. The scene changes to the next morning and Thomas and the Irelanders are asleep in a shed when a loud horn startles them awake]

Irelanders: Agh!

Thomas: Argh! What was that?

Clawdeen Wolf: I'm not sure, Thomas.

Frankie: (giggles) Time to start work, little tank engine!

[Hurricane rams into Thomas, pushing him out of the shed]

Thomas: Whoa! Give me a chance to wake up first. Ha-ha.

[He saw that his goods train is gone from the siding]

Thomas: Hey! What happened to my goods trucks?

Hurricane: Oh, I took care of them. I took them to Bridlington in the night.

Thomas: Did you? Thank you.

Connor Lacey: That is very helpful of you, Hurricane.

Chris Kratt: Guess we don't get a chance to go to Bridlington after all.

Martin Kratt: We'II go there another time, bro.

Thomas: If my trucks have been delivered to Bridlington, then my very important job has been completed so I need to head back to Sodor.

Frankie: But we helped you deliver your goods trucks, little tank engine. Surely you don't mind helping us in return.

Twilight Sparkle: Of course not.

Thomas: Well, OK..... I suppose I.... Whoa!

[Hurricane bump Thomas inside the Steelworks, laughing]

Frankie: You're too kind! (laughs)

Sir Gadabout: Indeed.

Mai Lacey: Why wouldn't we be?

[They went to work, pushing the trucks to the cauldron]

Narrator: Thomas was put to work in the Steelworks, shunting ladle trucks and taking molten slags out to the slag heaps.

[The cauldron tips over and molten slag pours out onto ladle trucks then Thomas push them to the slag heaps where they're emptied out and pours down the side of the slope]

Thomas: Cinders and ashes!

Irelanders: Wow!

[Hurricane and Frankie watch them from a distance with delight]

Hurricane: Good job, Thomas. (laughs)

Frankie: He is good, isn't he? (giggles) In fact, I'd say he might be my favourite new engine! And the others are perfect helpers too.

[Frankie and Hurricane laughs while Thomas and the Irelanders look at the molten slag sliding, feeling warm by the heat. A second later, Thomas is reversing into the Steelworks, singing the Hottest Place In Town song]

Thomas: This is the hottest place in town~

You really warm me up when I'm feeling down~

This is the hottest place in.........

Frankie: Whoa! Watch out there!

Thomas: Ow!

[He bumped into some ladle trucks and they fell over, spilling their contents onto the floor and the slag spreads across the ground. Frankie, Hurricane, The Irelanders and the workman rush away from the molten slag to avoid getting burned or smoldered]

Workman: Everybody run! Get out the way!

Hurricane: You need to be careful with that stuff! It's very hot!

Frankie: It can melt your wheels right into the ground!

[The slag touches a bucket and it melts]

Arnold McKinley: Yes, they're right. Slag like this has a temperature of 100/1, 430 heat.

Applejack: Yeah. Must be hotter than peppers.

Jimmy Z: You're telling me. They almost scorched me.

Thomas: Sorry.

Fireman Sam: That's alright, Thomas. But try and be more careful the next time you're reversing, okay?

Thomas: OK, Sam.

Station Officer Steele: We better clean up this mess without getting scorched or burned.

Irelanders: Okay, Station Officer Steele.

[As the camera zooms closer to the bucket, the scene changes to a cup being spilled on the map]

The Fat Controller: Dear, oh dear! What a mess! Oh.... Oh! Gah!

[The Fat Controller is holding train models, a pole and his phone on his ear. As he move about, he accidentally drop them at the table]

The Fat Controller: Ohh....

Workman: Never mind, sir. It's only tea. We'II soon clear it up again.

[The Fat Controller look sadly at a model of Thomas in his hand]

The Fat Controller: (sadly) Oh, Thomas.

[The Fat Controller went onto the platform just as Percy puff in with some trucks]

Percy: Any news about Thomas or the Irelanders, sir?

The Fat Controller: No, Percy. Not yet. The trucks have arrived at Bridlington in the middle of the night but nobody knows what's happened to Thomas nor The Irelanders!

[James puffs in]

James: I've got an idea, sir! Why don't I go to the mainland and look for Thomas and the Irelanders? Wouldn't that be really useful?

The Fat Controller: It's kind of you to volunteer, James, but I need you to work on Thomas' branch line. (looking at his clipboard list) There are still carrots waiting in Ulfstead and trucks full of tweezers in Vicarstown.

James: But I want to go to the mainland, sir! After all, I was the one who was supposed to go, not Thomas!

The Fat Controller: I've already sent Emily off with the Kipper.....

James: What about....

The Fat Controller: ...and Edward is collecting the band.

James: I mean, someone....

The Fat Controller: I simply can't spare another engine.

James: But I want to....

The Fat Controller: Not with Henry at the Steamworks and Thomas delayed.

Percy: Delayed? Oh, no! I only thought he was lost.

[The Fat Controller is about to say something when the workman came up, holding a new cup of tea]

Workman: All done, sir. And I've made you a fresh pot of tea.

The Fat Controller: Ah, excellent. Thank you. (to Percy after sipping his tea) Don't worry, Percy. Everything is under control. Just keep clam and carry on.

[The Fat Controller heads off]

Percy: At least you tried, James.

James: Hmph. I'II never get to go to the mainland now!

[The scene changes to the Steelworks where Thomas and the Irelanders feeling tired and thirsty from all the heat and the work]

Thomas: (panting) This is thirsty work!

Frankie: That's what we've been trying to tell you, little tank engine. This really is the hottest place in town!

Thomas: My name is Thomas, Frankie.

Connor Lacey: Yeah, remember it!

Alistair Wonderland: (in Cruz the jaquin's voice) We have names you know.

Frankie: And you all are doing a terrific job! Hurricane and I are very impressed. And with you all here to help us, we're free to make more deliveries!

Hurricane: It's not easy to keep up with all the work here when it's only Frankie and me. We're both so happy that you and your friends came along, Thomas.

Thomas: Oh, thanks...

Frankie: Hurricane! This steel won't deliver itself!

Hurricane: Bye, Thomas. See you later.

[Hurricane puffs off to collect his trucks. Frankie reveres to Thomas and the Irelanders]

Frankie: Put the ingots in the cooling area and make sure you empty all the slag onto the slag heap, little tank engine! And when you've done all of that, you can sort trucks in the yard. I expect them ready when we get back to collect the next delivery!

Irelanders: Ugh!

Thomas: But I need to go home to Sodor now, Frankie!

Frankie: No way, little tank engine! We helped you. So you have to help us.

Thomas: But I have been helping you! I've been working hard all day! The Fat Controller will be wondering where I am.

Ash Ketchum: And we need to get back there so that he knows where we are.

[As Frankie and Hurricane puff away, two men shut the gate in front of Thomas and the Irelanders and lock it, much to their dismay. As Thomas sadly shunts ladle trucks to the slag heaps, he starts to sing I Want to Go Home]

Thomas: How much longer will I have to stay here?

One more day, or a month, or a year?

Far from everything I've ever known

Far away from the Island called Sodor

Far away from that Island called home

[Annie and Clarabel appear in the slag in their shed and then being pulled by James]

Thomas: Where are you Annie and Clarabel?

Have you been left in the shed?

Or are you out on my branch line

With some other engine instead

[They disappeared]

Thomas: I miss all of my friends

I miss hearing their names

Percy and Toby and Gordon

It's strange but I even miss James

I'm not joking, I even miss James

[Thomas then remember all of his friends on Sodor even James. He look through the gate sadly, feeling like a prisoner. He imagines moving on a map of Sodor and onto the mainland]

I wanted to have an adventure

I wanted to wander and roam

I wanted to see places I'd never seen

But now I just wanna go home

Tell me when do I get to go home

James Jones: How are we gonna get out of here?

Fuli: I don't know.

Chris Kratt: But why Frankie and Hurricane wants us to stay here?

Martin Kratt: Beats me, bro.

Finn McMissile: They're making us their slaves it seems.

Twilight Sparkle: You could be right, Finn.

Violet Parr: I got a suspicion about those two engines.

Koki: What do you mean, Vi?

Violet Parr: I mean when I heard Frankie saying that Thomas' a keeper, I got a suspicion of them that they can't be trusted.

Helen Parr/Elastigirl: Like Evelyn Deavor with the illegal supers plan.

Maisie Lockwood: So how are we gonna get out of here?

Connor Lacey: I don't know, Maisie.

[Thomas look through the gate again and after wondering a bit, he grew determined and reverses to turn around on the turntable]

All I wanna do is go back to Sodor

All I wanna do is get back to my friends

I don't wanna be stuck here forever and always

In this hot house where work never ends

I wanted adventure

I wanted to roam

I wanted new places but now I want home

I mean it, I have to go home

So lock up your gates with your skeleton key

You can't make me stay where I don't want to be

It's not right, it's not fair

This is no place for me

[He then saw a old track that leads out of the Steelworks]

Connor Lacey: Look!

Fireman Sam: That looks like our way out!

Misty: Maybe we can get outta here while no one's looking.

Zog: What a good idea.

Thomas: I want to, I need to, I have to be free to go home!

[Bob, Thomas' driver switch the points]

Mater: (in Little John's voice) This ain't no hayride. Let's move it outta here. Ho!

[Thomas and the Irelanders head out into the woods]

I'll find my way home

Workman: Stop! Where are you going?

I'll make my way home

It's time to go home

I'm going home!

[He came off the tracks and stumble on the sleepers til he stops]

Fred Jones: Oh, great. This line is old and broken here.

Apple White: Just what do we do now?

Mewtwo: I don't know.

Thomas: (sighs)

[Back on Sodor, James is stuck behind some sheep at Farmer McColl's farm]

James: What am I supposed to do, just sit here and do nothing?

Annie: Yes, James, that's what Thomas would do. Wait for the farmer. What else can you do?

James: I can blow my whistle! That'II get these sheep moving!

Annie: No!

Clarabel: That's mean! You'II frighten them and they'II panic! Oh.... Even Thomas is more patient than you are, James.

James: I've had enough. This is boring! (inhales)

[He's about to blow his whistle when he heard Farmer McColl whistling and his sheepdog, Katie runs up to the sheep and guide them across the tracks]

Clarabel: See, James? All it takes is a little patience.

[James started to move but a sheep gets in his way and make him stop, much to his annoyance. In the woods, Thomas and the Irelanders are still moping when Thomas find himself being pulled]

Thomas: Oh... Whoa!

Frankie: That was a close call there, little tank engine.

Hurricane: Yeah, you could have done yourself some serious damage, Thomas, going off the rails like that. Ah! That old track hasn't been used in years.

Velma Dinkley: That explains the loose sleepers and broken track here.

Frankie: And how would we manage without you? You can't expect Hurricane and I to be doing all of that dirty work! We have more important jobs to be doing!

Thomas: Oh... I suppose so.

Brock: Well, this is not our day, isn't it?

Irelanders: No.

Fireman Sam: (growing concern by Frankie forcing the kids to do dangerous steel work) This is getting out of hand. The kids are getting tired, thirsty and scotched from doing dangerous work with the molten slag which we should never do.

Frankie: (not caring about it) I won't have any of your safety talk, Sam. Every one of you are working here to do the dirty work here and that includes the kids so no back talk from you.

[Sam sighs and decided to say nothing to avoid any arguments with Frankie as Hurricane tows Thomas back to the Steelworks. The scene changes to Tidmouth Sheds at night as Emily and James arrived back after their day's work]

Narrator: That night on Sodor, James was more grumpy than ever!

James: (sighs) I've had enough of being stuck on Thomas' backwater branch line. I should be the one on the mainland!

Emily: Of course you should, James. Then you could be the one who got lost! (giggles)

Percy: Or even worse, delayed!

James: Hmph! I wouldn't get lost or delayed! And if Thomas and the Irelanders isn't back by morning, I'm going to the mainland to find them and bring them back home!

Edward: And who's going to look after all the passengers on Thomas' branch line while you're gone, James?

James: I don't know. Why don't you ask the Fat Controller? It's his jobs to swap engines around. (imitating The Fat Controller) "That's what a railway controller does!"

Percy: Oh, James! You'II be a hero!

[James got excited by this idea]

James: Ohh!

Gordon: (sarcastically laughs) Only if he manages to find Thomas.

[Then, James blows his whistle and puffs out of Tidmouth Sheds]

Percy: James! Wait! Where are you going?

James: To the mainland. To find Thomas and the Irelanders and become a hero!

[The scene changes to the Steelworks where Thomas and the Irelanders are in their shed, waiting for a chance to make their escape. As the moon goes behind a dark cloud, they look at the gate and then at Frankie and Hurricane who is fast asleep in their shed]

Connor Lacey (whispering): They're asleep. Come on.

[They crept slowly towards the gate when they stop, hearing a twig snap]

Thomas: Huh?

[Lightning flashes, revealing a deer on the other side of the fence who bolted away]

Shaggy Rogers: Like, that's only just a deer.

Scooby Doo: Reah.

[Thomas puff over to the gate and nudge the gate slightly, making it creak. He look back at Frankie and Hurricane who is still fast asleep]

Discord: (whispering) Anyone got any ideas how to get outta here?

Tiny (Little Robots): I might. It'll be risky but I'm sure it'll work.

Iago: Well, we're all ears.

[Tiny points to some flatbeds nearby. Seconds later, Thomas and the Irelanders are pushing them very slowly at first then faster towards the gate and hit it with a loud bang. Hurricane wakes up upon hearing the sound]

Hurricane: Huh? What was that?

Frankie: What was what?

Hurricane: That big crashing sound.

Frankie: Maybe it was the thunder. There's a storm coming.

[Lightning flashes, helping Frankie see Thomas and the Irelanders more clearly]

Frankie: Thomas? Irelanders?

[Thomas and the Irelanders gasp and look back to see that Hurricane and Frankie have woken up]

Thomas: (gasps)

Ellie Philips: Oh now we've done it!

[Lights come on and the drivers get in Frankie and Hurricane]

Frankie: They're trying to break the gates down!

[They roll out of their shed to catch them]

Sunset Shimmer: Come on! One more big push just might do it!

[Thomas and the Irelanders charge at the gates]

Hurricane: No, Thomas! Don't do it!

Frankie: Stop, Thomas, stop!

Frankie and Hurricane: Thomas!

[Thomas and the Irelanders ignore them in determination and they manage to break through the gates and escape just in time]

Frankie and Hurricane: Come back!

[The flatbeds went in one direction and Thomas and the Irelanders went in the opposite direction with Frankie and Hurricane in hot pursuit]

Thomas: They are chasing after us!

Connor Lacey: Make a break for it!

[They take off running. Scooby sped ahead]

Shaggy Rogers: Hey, wait for me, Scoob!

[He went down on all fours and zoom to keep up with Scooby. The Scooby Doo theme song cover by Billy Ray Cyrus plays in the background]

Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? We got some work to do now Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? We need some help from you now

Come on Scooby Doo, I see you Pretending you got a sliver You're not fooling me, cuz I can see The way you shake and shiver

You know we got a mystery to solve so Scooby Doo be ready for your act Don't hold back And Scooby Doo if you come through you're gonna yourself have a Scooby snack

Scooby Dooby Doo, here are you You're ready and you're willin' We can count on you, Scooby Doo I know we'll catch that villain

[The song ends as Thomas saw a set of points ahead and screech to a stop]

Misty: Thomas, why have you stopped?!

Lightning McQueen: (seeing the points) He's stopped because there's some points here.

Dusty Crophopper: Oh, I get it! If we switch these points, we can take that other track to get away!

Bob Parr/Mr Incredible: That might work.

Spud the Scarecrow: Then we better do it quick cause here they come!

Thomas: (yelling) Oh, hurry up! They're coming, they're coming!

[Thomas' fireman switch the points quickly and they went into the woods to hide]

Princess Pearl: We should be safe here for now.

Fred Jones: Yeah. They almost caught us.

Thomas: They are chasing after us!

[Then a voice comes from out of nowhere, startling them]

Male Voice: Ooh... Are you hiding?

Thomas: Ah! Ah! Ahh! Who said that?

Male Voice: Oh, don't be frightened. I'm hiding, too. I love hiding.

Connor Lacey: Uh, if you're hiding now. Then you're obviously very good at it.

Maisie Lockwood: We can't even see you from where we are.

Ono: Although I'm the keenest of sight, even I can't see you.

Male Voice: Oh-ho! Of course you can't! That's because I'm such a good hider. (chuckles) In fact, I'm invisible.

Twilight Sparkle: Invisible? How can you turn invisible?

Male voice: Because I'm a stealth engine. And stealth engines are designed in a special way to make them.... invisible!

Thomas: A stealth engine? Like Merlin?

Merlin: Not like Merlin. I am Merlin! The experimental prototype King Arthur class stealth engine!

Thomas: Merlin! Wow! Is that really you? We've heard all about you from Theo and Lexi and I....

Merlin: Quick, close your eyes!

Brock: Close our eyes?

Martin Kratt: (seeing light on him and realizes why) Frankie and Hurricane are coming back!

[Frankie and Hurricane are approaching the woods very slowly]

Hurricane: Come out, come out, wherever you are!

[Thomas and the Irelanders quickly shut their eyes. Frankie and Hurricane stay still for a moment then move on]

Sunset Shimmer: Phew. They're gone now.

Zog: That was close.

Violet Parr: Luckily I can also turn invisible.

Apple White: Thanks, Merlin. We owe you one.

Merlin: Don't worry. You're safe. They won't find you now. You're with the best hider ever. All you have to do is close your eyes and keep really still and nobody will be able to see you!

Skipper Riley: I think we better get some sleep now. It's getting late.

Connor Lacey: Good night, everyone.

Irelanders: Night, Connor.

Shaggy Rogers: Night, Scoob.

Scooby-Doo: Right-right, Rhaggy.

Zog: Night, Pearl.

Princess Pearl:

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

Thomas: (yawns)

[They all fall asleep. The scene changes to Frankie and Hurricane talking to Linda Ryan/The Shredderette and the Foot Empire about losing Thomas and the Irelanders]

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: What do you mean you lost them?!

Frankie: Well, we tried to catch them but they managed to get away.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: You two escaped our wrath this time. Let us be clear, you will never get the help you need as long as you let that tank engine and the Irelanders dictate your destiny.

Hurricane: We know. But...

Zach Varmitech: No buts. We promise you two some more help if you kept Thomas and those Irelanders from leaving but you let them escaped.

Frankie: Next time another engine comes here, we'll make sure that they don't escape.

Queen Chrysalis: And what of the Irelanders?

Hurricane: Same for them.

Tirek: Perhaps if they learn about it, they'II be coming to the rescue and we'II be able to get them.

Reirei: Sounds like a plan, right, Goigoi?

[Goigoi is asleep]

Reirei: Goigoi!

[She kicks him to wake him up]

Goigoi: Uh, whatever you say, dear.

Hawk Moth: Ugh, does that happen every time he sleeps?

Reirei: Yes, Hawk Moth.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: (to Frankie and Hurricane) Tomorrow when one of you goes to Bridlington goods yard, keep an eye out for another engine to take hostage to the Steelworks. And when you see one, bring them here.

Hurricane: I'm heading there tomorrow myself with a steel delivery.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Good. And if you don't let them leave, we'II give you more help. Got it?

Frankie: Yes, completely understood. Let's get to sleep, Hurricane.

Hurricane: Okay, Frankie. [following her and quietly to himself] We can't keep this up. It's not right.

[After they're gone, Linda Ryan/The Shredderette turns to her crew]

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Once they get an engine and the Irelanders here, we'II finally get our revenge on them. And those two fools have no idea that we're lying to them.

Janja: Yeah. We're tricking them into thinking that we'II give them more help if they kept an engine and the Irelanders prisoners here.

Garble: And I'II teach Spike, those puny ponies and those guys for crossing me. Especially since Ember now decree that we dragons should be nice and friendly to ponies since of being mean to them.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: We know, Garble. We know.

Garble: You don't even know what Ember's like. She's not like any other dragon. In fact, she's the worst.

[The song The Worst Dragon We Know starts playing]

[Garble]

Dragons should be rotten,

Dragons should be mean.

But then you got Ember, she's like nothing that you've seen.

She's nice to other ponies, yeah the magic of friendship.

But when it comes to my guys, she causes nothing but strife.

She's the worst dragon we know!

[Fume & Clump]

So bad!

[Garble]

She makes me mad, just to "Hello!"

[Fume & Clump]

So mad!

[Garble]

Yeah, she's friendly and kind, drives me out of my mind.

She's the worst, the worst, the worst dragon we know!

So when we gotta face her like what just happened now.

We got her all outnumbered but she beats us somehow!

She gives a little laugh and a cute little smile,

but then she kicks our tails and she does it in style!

She's the worst dragon we know!

[Fume & Clump]

So bad!

[Garble]

She makes me mad, just to "Hello!"

[Fume and Clump]

So mad!

[Janja]

Yeah, she's friendly and kind, drives me out of my mind.

She's the worst, the worst, the worst dragon we know!

Did I forget to mention Spike?

[Fume]

Yeah you did!

[Garble]

She and him are like best friends.

[Clump]

I did not know that!

[Garble]

And when they are both together, it's impossible to defend!

When will it end?

[Clump]

I don't know!

[Fume]

Me neither!

[Garble]

She's the worst dragon we know!

[Fume & Clump]

So bad!

[Garble]

She makes me mad, just to "Hello!"

[Fume & Clump]

So mad!

[Garble]

Yeah, she's friendly and kind, drives me out of my mind.

She's the worst, the worst, the worst dragon we know!

[The song ends]

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Hmm. This Ember could be trouble for us.

Garble: Yeah. If only Spike and his friends haven't intervened, then I could have succeeded to become Dragon Lord so that dragons will never be friends with puny ponies and I can burn Equestria to the ground.

Negaduck: That would only happen if you go back in time.

Robbie Rotten: Like when I traveled back in time to stop Johnny Sports Candy Seed from planting the first Sports Candy tree so that Sportacus won't exist and LazyTown can be lazy again.

Kiburi: And then there's the time Starlight travels back in time to stop Rainbow Dash from performing her Sonic Rainboom so that Twilight and her friends will never get their cutie marks or meet to become heroes. But too bad those plans failed miserably because of Twilight Sparkle and Sportacus.

Garble: Yeah, I get it. Still, I'II make sure that the rest of the dragons won't become friendly to ponies, regardless of Ember's reign.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Let's hope so. Soon enough, the Irelanders will be finished for good.

[She cackles along with the other villains. The next morning, Thomas and the Irelanders are waking up in the woods]

Connor Lacey: [yawns] Morning, everyone.

Twilight Sparkle: Morning, Connor.

Raven Queen: Maisie. It's time to get up.

Maisie Lockwood: [yawns] Morning, guys.

Ash Ketchum: Morning, Pikachu.

Pikachu: Pika.

Discord: [yawns] Oh! Ooh! Ooooh!

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, that is quite some sleep you've got.

Discord: (sighs) Obviously. I always do that every time I wake up.

[Elvis and Jimmy Z are still asleep]

Fireman Sam: Thomas? Could you...? [points to Elvis and Jimmy]

Thomas: (yawns)

[He sees Sam gesturing to Elvis and Jimmy and blows his whistle]

Elvis Cridlington: [screams]

Penny Morris: It's time to wake up, Elvis.

Elvis Cridlington: Oh, OK, Penny. I think Bridlington rhymes with my surname.

Arnold McKinley: Yes. Almost sounds the same too.

Station Officer Steele: We need to remember to bring an alarm clock along on our adventures so that he'll wake up at the right time.

Fireman Sam: Understood, sir.

[Jimmy's still asleep]

Shaggy Rogers: Man, like he's a heavy sleeper.

Scooby-Doo: Reah.

Chris Kratt: I know something that will wake him up. (to Jimmy) Jimmy, your controller's fallen out of the Tortuga again.

[Jimmy woke up in a instant]

Jimmy Z: What?! My controller's fallen out? No!

Martin Kratt: Don't worry, Jay-Z. It's not really fallen out of the Tortuga. Chris just said that to wake you up. It's still there safe.

Jimmy Z: Phew. Thank goodness.

Brock: So what shall we do now?

Twilight Sparkle: Well, we need to say good morning to Merlin.

Connor Lacey: She's right. To see if he's awake.

Thomas: Hello? Merlin? Are you there? Oh, or are you still asleep? (chuckling) Sorry.

[However, there's no answer]

Captain Jake: Huh? There's no answer.

Fuli: He's gone.

Jimney Cricket: He must have slipped away while we're asleep.

Aisling: Yeah. We better look for him.

Fred Jones: Good point.

Thomas: Merlin? Merlin?

[Thomas and the Irelanders set off to find Merlin. The scene changes to James arriving at Bridlington Goods Yard where red diesels are busy shunting trucks]

Narrator: That morning, James had arrived at Bridlington Goods Yard.

James: Thomas? Irelanders?

[He bumped into one of the diesels who doesn't look amused by his awkward smile]

James: Ahem. Excuse me, but have you by any chance seen a cheeky blue tank engine with the number one painted on his side along with a group that has people, two dogs, ponies, a baby dragon, road vehicles, superheroes and animals as well?

Mainland Diesel: We get a lot of engines passing through. You can't expect me to remember every blue tank engine. Plus, dragons and superheroes don't exist in real life, they're made up things for your entertainment.

James: His name is Thomas, from the Island of Sodor and they're called The Irelanders, lead by a Irish boy named Connor Lacey?

Mainland Diesel: Ulli! You seen a cheeky blue tank engine, numbered one and a group of characters with him too?

Ulli: Nope.

Mainland Diesel: (sighs) Like I say, friend. We get a lot of engines coming and going. (grunts) Bridlington is a very busy goods yard.

[He rolls off, leaving James disappointed]

James: (sighs) Oh, well. Thank you anyway.

[He then heard a voice saying Psst. He look to see the van from Thomas' goods train in a covered siding]

Van: Psst. We saw a silly blue tank engine! Didn't know where he was going.

Truck: No sense.

Van: Of direction!

[The trucks laugh as they're shunted by another diesel]

James: Yes! Yes! That sounds like Thomas! Is he the engine that brought you here and are the Irelanders with him?

an: Tee--hee! No!

Van: Don't be silly!

Slate Truck: Thomas and the Irelanders got completely lost!

Van: An engine called Hurricane brought us here!

James: Hurricane? Who's Hurricane?

Van: From that big steelworks. You know.... (singing) This is the hottest place in town~

Van: We love an engine in a evening gown~

[They laugh as the diesel shunted them, leaving James feeling agitated by their silly antics]

James: Oh. This is hopeless!

Tanker: Look at me face~

Don't I look like a clown?~

[He burps]

Truck: Well, he was a bit rude!

[James puff over to the diesel he spoke to earlier]

James: Hello? One more question. Do you know a big steelworks where an engine called Hurricane might be working?

[The diesel chugs away, not wanting to talk to James. Hurricane, who is behind them, overheard everything James was saying and he grins, getting an idea. The scene changes to Thomas and the Irelanders puffing through the woods, looking for Merlin when they came across an area which look familiar to them]

Thomas: Oh! I know where we are! This is the experimental engine....

[Lexi suddenly appears in front of them]

Lexi: Theo! It's that engine and those guys again! Thomas. Irelanders. Well, hello, Thomas and Irelanders. Theo!

Theo: Thomas! Irelanders!

[He reverses, making the water from the water tower flow out over him]

Theo: You came back.

Spike: Of course we did.

Lexi: Did you get where you were going? Did you find what you were looking for? Bridlingdom? That goods yard? Did ya? Did ya?

Thomas: (sadly) No.

Lexi: Oh! But you did deliver your trucks, didn't you?

Thomas: No.

Lexi: But where are they? I don't see them. Huh? Where'd they go?

Bob Parr/Mr Incredible: We don't know, Lexi.

Theo: He is being scrapped. I told you.

Thomas: No, Theo. I'm not being scrapped. But, oh, I probably should be.

Rusty (Little Robots): What do you mean, Thomas?

Thomas: Well, Rusty, I made a mistake and I never should have taken James' trucks.

[Everyone looks at Thomas in worry and shock. Lexi reverses alongside Thomas]

Lexi: Oh, Thomas! What happened?

Thomas: I lost James' trucks and I got trapped in the Steelworks and I want to go home to Sodor but I don't know the way. I'm a useless engine! I just do everything wrong!

Theo: Ha-ha-ha. You sound like one of us.

Lexi: Yep. We have the same problem.

Connor Lacey: You do?

Lexi: Yes, Connor, we do.

Thomas: No, you don't. You guys are amazing! You're experimental engines!

Twilight Sparkle: He's right, you guys. Your designs are quite extraordinary.

Gareth Griffiths: You two can do anything with your designs.

Thomas: I can't do anything, apart from make mistakes.

[The song We Can't Do Anything starts playing]

Theo: Nobody gets it right the first time.

Lexi: Everybody makes mistakes

Or goofs or gaffes!

Theo: We were put together

In a flurry of excitement

Lexi: But look at us now!

What are we like?

Theo: Ooh.

You simply have to laugh!

We're unusual

We're unique

Theo: In other words, she's saying

That we're freaks!

Lexi: Built by geeks!

Theo: We're experiments gone bad!

Lexi: In other words, whoever designed us

Must be mad!

Theo: Too many funnels

Or too many cogs!

Lexi: We knew a guy who was built

To run on logs!

Theo: Too many wheels

And gears and rods!

Lexi: It's no wonder that we look so odd!

Theo (spoken): Give me a prod!

Theo and Lexi: But what can't we do?

What can't we do?

What can't we do?

ANYTHING! It's true!

Lexi: We're originals!

We're one of a kind!

We're upside down

And forward to behind.

Theo: We're experiments gone wrong!

Lexi: This yard's the only place

that we could ever belong!

We always try to do our best,

Sadly we rarely pass the test!

Theo (spoken): I made a mess!

Lexi: Give us a job!

Give us a task!

Whatever it is, you'll be sorry

That you asked!

Theo and Lexi: But what can't we do?

What can't we do?

What can't we do?

ANYTHING! It's true!

Merlin (spoken): Ooh, ooh, ooh! I can do something!

Thomas (spoken): Merlin?

[Then Merlin appeared in front of them. He have three funnels and metallic silver paintwork with red wheels and he looks older though eccentric]

Merlin: Invisibility on!

[He blows up steam which covers him and when it disappears, Thomas and the Irelanders can still see him]

Merlin: I'm invisible, or can't you see?

"Who said that?"

You ask. It's only me!

You look surprised, but have no fear!

It's just a little trick

To make myself disappear!

[He blows steam again, making Thomas and the Irelanders cough. When it clears, they saw that he's moved to the other track and shutting his eyes]

Thomas: Um, why does he keep doing that?

Lexi: Have you notice his three funnels? Well, that was an experiment. To make his smoke and steam disperse, so you couldn't see him so easily!

Theo: But it didn't work at all! Only, don't try and tell Merlin.

[Thomas and the Irelanders notice that Merlin have moved beside them while they're not looking, making them jump in fright]

Thomas and Irelanders: Ah!

Merlin: Hello again!

Lexi and Theo: We're lumpy and bumpy

We haven't got the puff

They tried to make us better

But sometimes enough's enough!

We're wobbly and knobbly

And awkward in reverse!

If practice makes you perfect

we're the ones they never rehearsed!

But what can't we do?

What can't we do?

What can't we do?

ANYTHING! Its true!

Lexi: We can't do ANYTHING!

That's true!

We can't do ANYTHING!

Merlin: But we can try!

We can give anything a try!

We will give anything a try!

Isn't that right?

[The song ends with a coal hopper falling over to the ground and the experimental engines laughing]

Thomas: So do you think you can try to help us?

Lexi: Didn't we just explain, Thomas? We can't do anything!

Merlin: Oh, stop saying that! We'II do anything we can to help you and your friends, Thomas! Just tell us what the problem is.

Thomas: Oh, Merlin, thank you! We need to go home to the Island of Sodor. Only, we don't know which way to go.

Theo: Merlin can't help you.

Lexi: None of us can. I'm terribly sorry. We don't know anything about any place other than here.

Merlin: Oh, but we can still try to help you and your friends, Thomas. Oh! We can go with you! And help you find the way to the Island of Sonar!

Fireman Sam: Um, actually it's pronounced Sodor, Merlin.

Merlin: That's what I said. The Island of Sonar.

Theo: And then we'II all get lost, Merlin.

Merlin: Oh.

Maisie Lockwood: He's right though. If Merlin wants to help us, then you should let him do it and so should you and Lexi.

Theo: Or you all could always stay here with us, Thomas, instead of going home.

Thomas: Thanks, Theo. Thanks all of you, but we'II be all right. We'II find our way home. Somehow. (whistles)

[He and the Irelanders leave]

Lexi: Bye, guys.

Theo: Good luck. Oh.

[The scene changes to the canal where Thomas and the Irelanders are approaching]

Narrator: Thomas and the Irelanders headed back along the branch line again, trying to remember the route they'd taken before.

Thomas: Mmm, this looks familiar.

Connor Lacey: Hmm, you might be right, Thomas.

Chris Kratt: Hey! I know where we are! This is the canal that we've passed through.

Martin Kratt: Hey, you're right. Man, you are on fire today, bro!

Brock: But if this is the same canal we've passed....

Violet Parr: Then it's the same canal where we met that annoying crane.

Velma Dinkley: And there he is!

[They saw Beresford ahead]

Thomas: I really don't want him to stop me again.

Skipper Riley: Well, let's just sneak past him so that he doesn't stop us.

Fred Jones: Good idea.

[They tried to sneak past but Beresford sees them]

Beresford: Oh, no you don't!

[He swings his hook, grab Thomas by his cab roof and lift him, Connor, Maisie, James Jones and Daphne Blake in his cab up off the tracks and into the air as his drive and fireman jump clear]

Thomas: Hey!

Connor Lacey: Put us down!

Beresford: You won't get past so easily this time!

Thomas: What are you doing? Stop that! Let go of us!

Beresford: Hello, again, Thomas! Last time we met, you played a cheeky trick on me and ran away, just as we were getting to know each other too! That wasn't a very nice way to end our conversation.

Thomas: Picking up engines with your hook is not a very nice way to start a conversation, either! Put us down! Please?

Beresford: And if I do put you down, then what will you do, hmm? Run away again, no doubt! And I'II be left all on my own again with nobody to talk to. Now, why don't you tell me all about your adventures? My name's Beresford. We could be friends!

Maisie Lockwood: [peeking out of Thomas' cab with Connor, James Jones, And Daphne Blake] Ahem!

Beresford: [spotting them] Oh, didn't see you guys there.

James Jones: Hey, excuse me, um.... Beresford, was it?

Beresford: Yes, that's me. I tried to tell you all my name when you ran away.

James Jones: Well, it's very dangerous to lift an engine off the tracks with people inside. Do you know how dangerous that is?

Beresford: Oh, I'm sorry, James. I didn't know you guys are in Thomas.

Daphne Blake: We're wearing brightly coloured clothes. How could you not see that?

Beresford: Oh. Sorry about that.

Connor Lacey: That's alright. Back to the subject; look, we're sorry we tricked you before, Beresford, but you can't make everyone be your friend by
