The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas and Friends: Hero of the Rails/Transcript

This is the script for The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas & Friends: Hero of the Rails.

[The story begins at Ireland where Connor and his friends are getting ready to go to Sodor again]

Connor Lacey: Come on, guys! It's time to get back to Sodor.

Martin Kratt: I know. This is our first time going there.

Chris Kratt: We get to meet Thomas the tank engine we heard about.

Martin Kratt: And there might be some new creatures there that we can make creature powers from.

Razer: Let's go!

Bronwyn Jones: Where's Spike?

Twilight Sparkle: He's coming.

Spike: I'm here.

Fireman Sam: What kept you, Spike?

Aviva Corcovado: You don't want us to leave you behind, do you?

Spike: Sorry. I just got some friends to come along for the adventure.

Lightning McQueen: Like who?

[Then Marco Polo, Luigi Bellini, Shi La Won and Fu Fu arrives]

Connor Lacey: Marco, Luigi, Shi La, Fu Fu! It's good to see you again.

Marco Polo: It sure is, Connor.

Jimmy Z: It's been quite sometime since we've helped you clear your father's name in China.

Shi La Won: Yeah. We're glad to be here, right Fu Fu?

Fu Fu: (growls)

Koki: To think I used to hate bats until I help Bite-Size and his pals found new homes.

Luigi Bellini: We're not the the only ones Spike brings here.

[Olwin whistles as she appears]

Olwin: Oh, hello, Connor and Irelanders.

Victorion: Olwin!

Olwin: I haven't see you since you've visited Chuggington. Spike gather me. Are we going to The Island of Sodor you've told me about, Connor?

Connor Lacey: Of course, Olwin.

Fireman Sam: Then what are we waiting for? Let's go.

Mickey Mouse: Hot dog!

Jimmy Z: Tortuga time! Next stop, Island of Sodor and fly.

[The Tortuga flew off and the intro begins and ends with the title The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas and Friends: Hero of the Rails]

Narrator: Hero of the Rails. It was summer on Sodor. The sky was bright blue, the fields were full of flowers and the birds sang sweetly as Thomas fill up with water. He felt very happy. Suddenly, there was a whoosh and a wheesh and a clacking clack as a streak of silver roared by on the track. Thomas: Fizzling fireboxes! What was that? Narrator: All over Sodor, Thomas' friends were buffered and blasted on their track. Henry: Bubbling boilers! Percy: Bust my buffers! James: Watch my paintwork! Emily: Trembling tracks! Who was that? Toby: Grosh! Edward: Slow down, speedy! Gordon: Rail-raider! [The scene changes to Knapford where the engines have gathered to talk about the mysterious blur of silver] Narrator: Later, Thomas and his friends were at Knapford. They were very puzzled. James: He was big. Gordon: He was silver. Henry: He was very, very fast. Thomas: That must mean it's..... [A cloud of steam came towards them and stop to reveal..... All: Spencer! Spencer: Hello, Sodor. What do you know? I'm here for the summer. Thomas: Why? Spencer: I have a very important job to do. The Duke and Duchess of Boxford are having a new summerhouse built. It has to be finished in time for the Duke and Duchess' holiday. I'm very busy. No time to chat. Narrator: And Spencer steam smugly away. Thomas: Cinder and Ashes. Having speedy Spencer on Sodor for one day is bad. James: But for the whole summer... Gordon: Is terrible.

[The scene changes to the Tortuga landing]

Connor Lacey: Well, here we are.

Piplup (Pokémon Mystery Dungeon): This is surprising.

Chris Kratt: Wow.

Martin Kratt: This is very cool.

Rainbow Dash: Awesome.

Olwin: Interesting.

Marco Polo: This is a great place for adventure.

Shi La Won: (deep in thought) The island's name sounds familiar.

Rarity: I have a very good feeling about this adventure today.

Spike: Hey, Connor. I just remember.

Connor Lacey: What is it, Spike?

Spike: Well, what if Diesel 10, Hades, Maleficent, Robbie Rotten, The Cyber Shredder, Infinite and The Grand Duke of Owls come back here and try to get revenge on us for ruining their plan?

Connor Lacey: Don't worry, Spike. If they do come back I'll turn into any alien and give them the boot.

Razer: Save some for me.

Connor Lacey: You got it, Razer.

[Then, a flash of light came zooming down from the railway]

Marinette Dupain-Cheng: The train just sped up to a hill.

Fireman Sam: Hmm. Do you what I think, guys?

Connor Lacey: What, Sam?

Fireman Sam: I think we should wait until night to see them. Thomas and his friends are doing their jobs and we don't want to cause confusion and delay. So we'II meet them at Tidmouth Sheds tonight.

Connor Lacey: Right.

[The scene changes to Thomas and Percy puffing up to the top of Gordon's Hill]

Narrator: That afternoon, Thomas and Percy were huffing and puffing up Gordon's Hill. Then they heard Spencer whooshing and wheeshing behind them. Spencer: A little more puff and you might make it to the top by teatime. Percy: Bossy boiler. Narrator: Next, Spencer caught up with Gordon. Spencer: Out of my way, slowcoach. (whistles) Gordon: O, the indignity. Narrator: Toby was huffing slowly to a junction. Spencer steamed alongside, hooting and tooting. Spencer: It looks like you're too old now to be really useful, Toby. [The signal turns and Spencer set off and Toby's signal turns red again] Narrator: Toby gasped. He was upset. He missed his green light. Edward and James were chuffing cheerfully along. Spencer slowed. Spencer: Dear, oh dear. It takes two old engines to pull one truck, does it? I'm pulling five. Narrator: And Spencer thundered away. James was so cross, he couldn't puff at all.

[The scene changes to Tidmouth Sheds at night]

Narrator: That night, the engines can only talk about Spencer.

Thomas: He told Toby he was too old.

Gordon: He's taken over my express line.

James: He'II never have a shiny coat like mine.

Edward: He'II never have manners.

Connor Lacey: Maybe we can help with that.

Thomas: Connor!

Gordon: Hello, there.

Robonyan: Hi.

Emily: You know these guys, Thomas?

Thomas: Yes. Percy and I known them for a while.

Marco Polo: So you're Thomas I've heard.

Thomas: That's me, alright.

Marco Polo: I'm Marco Polo. This is Luigi, Shi La and our pet bat, Fu Fu.

Olwin: I'm Olwin. I'm from Chuggington.

Gibson: She's our friend from Chuggington.

Connor Lacey: (seeing Emily) Oh, I don't believe we've met, miss...

Emily: I'm Emily but who are you?

Fireman Sam: I'm Fireman Sam.

Spud the Scarecrow: I'm Spud the Scarecrow.

Twilight Sparkle: So Connor, who are these other engines besides Thomas, Percy and Emily?

Edward: I'm Edward.

James: I'm James.

Gordon: Gordon here.

Henry: I am Henry.

Toby: And my name is Toby. I'm a steam tram engine.

Sparx: Whoa.

Connor Lacey: So, Thomas, what's been bothering you lately?

Thomas: We were just talking about Spencer from the mainland. He's a streamlined engine but he's also very rude and show off as well. He's been very rude to all of us ever since he got here. And to make matters worse, we're gonna stuck with him for the whole summer because he's helping built the summer house for the Duke and Duchess of Boxford.

Connor Lacey: Well, I think we might be able to help you.

Olwin: Wait, did you say Spencer?

Thomas: Yes. Why?

Olwin: He's my brother.

[The Steam Team gasp]

Aviva Corcovado: What?

Connor Lacey: Brother?

Olwin: It's true.

James: Now you're mention it, you're the same basis as him but with no tender.

Gordon: Since Spencer's my cousin, that makes you my cousin too.

Olwin: Well, thanks, dear.

Percy: But how can you run without a tender?

Olwin: Well, in Chuggington, we fill up with coal with a hatch on the roof of our cabs.

Henry: That's weird.

Olwin: I'll even tell you about the time I once had bubble liquid inside me.

Thomas: Bubble liquid?

Olwin: Yes. My funnel and my mouth had bubbles coming out of them.

Edward: When did that happen?

Olwin: Sometime ago.

Connor Lacey: I was there when that happen.

[Gordon and James laughs at that]

Pinkie Pie: What?

Gordon: Well, the fact that Olwin's funnel and mouth had bubbles coming out is so funny.

James: That's right. She is really "bubbly". (laughs with Gordon)

Hovernyan: Well, it's nothing to laugh about.

Emily: Does Spencer know about that, Olwin?

Olwin: Not yet, but I'm planning to tell him.

Blondie Lockes: Okay.

Spike: There's one thing I don't get.

Fireman Sam: And that is?

Spike: How's Gordon related to Spencer and Olwin?

Gordon: Well, you see Spike, Sir Nigel Gresley built our classes. Mine is the LNER Gresley Class A3 and Spencer and Olwin's class are the LNER Class A4. That's how we're cousins.

Connor Lacey: That explains it.

Norman Price: Whoa.

Sarah Jones: That's totally brilliant!

Olwin: Yes indeed. Spencer says that I'm a slowcoach since I don't go fast often which he thinks is a disgrace to our class.

Raven Queen: You poor thing.

Olwin: I know.

Connor Lacey: Anyway, what did Spencer say to you and your friends, Thomas?

Thomas: Well, Connor, like we all said just now, he told Toby he was too old.

Gordon: He's taken over my express line.

James: He'II never have a shiny coat like mine.

Edward: He'II never have manners.

Shi La Won: What a meanie.

Fu Fu: (growls in agreement)

Olwin: I wish we could teach him a lesson.

James Jones: Me too.

Luigi Bellini: I don't think I want to be friends with a creep like him.

Rainbow Dash: And that goes double for me as well.

Pinkie Pie: And me too. It's no fun being bullied.

Cerise Hood: Yes.

Loretta Callisto: So, what should we do about it?

Twilight Sparkle: I don't know, Loretta.

Percy: Spencer's scary.

[The scene changes to Brendam Docks the next day]

Narrator: The next day, Thomas was at Brendam Docks. He had a heavy flatbed of machinery to collect.

Fireman Sam: Well, I hope you know what you're doing. Heavy metal can be dangerous.

Thomas: I do know how to handle heavy loads, Sam.

Connor Lacey: It's nice that The Fat Controller is letting us help Thomas again with his work today.

Dottie: (saw Spencer) Hey, guys, look who it is.

Narrator: Spencer was there. He was being coupled up to five flatbeds of building materials.

Twilight Sparkle: I bet that must be Spencer that Thomas and his friends told us about.

Luigi Bellini: Oh. Now the brother-sister thing make sense. They're the same basis.

[Spencer looks over at them and sees Olwin]

Spencer: Hello, Olwin.

Olwin: [sighs]

Frankie Stein: Hello, Spencer.

Spencer: I see my slowcoach sister have brought some friends to come to Sodor, I see. How's your work in Chuggington? Being slow and not fast as usual?

Olwin: As boring as it may seem, Spencer, it has been quite been between the two.

Spencer: You must be the Irelanders I've heard about on the mainland. Not impressive and important as I see.

Norman Price: Hey!

Rochelle Goyle: No one talks about us like that!

Jinafire Long: Yeah!

Spencer: Dear, oh dear, Thomas. It's just as well The Duke and Duchess don't have a tiny toy tank engine like you with some little help from some humans, a dragon, some ponies, vehicles, kids, animals and Olwin. The summer house would never be finished.

Thomas: What do you mean?

Spencer: I mean Thomas, you just can't pull heavy loads.

Rainbow Dash: Hey! Now wait a minute. Just because Thomas is only a tank engine doesn't mean he can't pull heavy loads.

Connor Lacey: Rainbow Dash is right. He pulls many heavy loads all the time. And he's not a toy!

Olwin: And I think you should be paying more attention to others rather than yourself all the time, Spencer.

Tosaru: Yes!

Donald Duck: In other words, you've gone too far!

Thomas: Yeah, Spencer. I can pull just as heavy loads as you.

Percy: Yes, he can! Even heavier!

Gordon: Thomas is not a toy.

Connor Lacey: Yeah, you tell him, Gordon!

Edward: He's a really useful engine.

James: And he's very strong.

Shi La Won: Here, here!

Fu Fu: (growls angrily)

Narrator: The Sodor engines didn't scare Spencer. An idea had bubbled in his boiler.

Spencer: Very well, Thomas. Meet me tomorrow at dawn at the shunting yards. We will have a contest of strength. We will each pull a heavy load and we'II see who can pull it for longer and for further.

Narrator: Spencer slid slyly out of the Docks. Suddenly, Thomas felt very worried.

Thomas: Bust my buffers! I can't do this. Spencer will win a contest of strength.

Narrator: The other engines saw that their friend was worried.

Fireman Sam: Tell you what, Thomas. We'll help you.

Percy: You're the number one engine on Sodor and you'II show Spencer that Sodor engines are more special than he is. I know that because you're my best friend.

Narrator: Thomas look at his best friend, Percy. Percy believed in him.

Thomas: I will meet Spencer at dawn and I will win.

Connor Lacey: That's right.

Marco Polo: Count us in.

Olwin: Me too.

Applejack: We're going too, sugarcube. We sure ain't lettin' any friend of ours going to race with that stuck-up engine alone. We're stickin' to you like caramel on a candy apple.

Everypony: [agreed hmph]

Pinkie Pie: Especially if there's candy apples during the race.

Twilight Sparkle: And I'II use my magic in case something might go wrong.

Clawdia Wolf: Good thinking.

Menasor (PWT): Right.

Otto (Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!): We'II show Spencer that he is wrong for calling you a toy.

Thomas: Thanks, Connor and everyone. I can rely on you to help me win the race.

[The scene changes to the next morning]

Narrator: Early the next morning in the cold light of dawn, Thomas, his friends and the Irelanders waited for Spencer. They could see a streak of silver engine puffing towards them. It was Spencer. Thomas felt worried.

Thomas: I can't do this,

Percy. Percy: Yes, you can, Thomas. You always tell us we can do whatever we want to. So can you.

Spike: And we're with you all the way too, Thomas.

Fireman Sam: And we'll be there for safety reasons.

Connor Lacey: I think this is the perfect opportunity to teach your sibling a lesson, Olwin.

Olwin: You might be right.

Narrator: The tracks were cleared for Spencer and Thomas and both engines were coupled up to their heavy loads. Edward puff forward.

Edward: You will each take different tracks round the island. You may only stop for coal and water.

Narrator: Then, Edward whistled, long and hard. The contest has begun. Spencer and Thomas pumped their pistons. Thomas puff off with a heave and a huff.

Thomas: I can do it. I'II puff for longer. I'II show Spencer I really am stronger.

Narrator: Spencer smiled as he slid away.

Spencer: I'II show Thomas who's strong and who's weak. He'II puff home with a squeak and a creak.

Narrator: The other engines watched and worried. Then they blew their whistles long and strong.

All: Good luck, Thomas!

[The scene changes to the countryside where Thomas, Olwin, The Irelanders and Spencer raced each other]

Narrator: Thomas and Spencer puff around the island. They clittering-clack along the tracks. They whooshed through woods and they huffed up hills. Spencer steamed and smiled. He raced and he roared. Thomas puffed and huffed. He heaved and he hauled.

Connor Lacey: Don't give up, Thomas!

Twilight Sparkle: You can do it, little T!

Razer: We believe in you!

Tom Thomas: Come on, mate!

Marco Polo: We're counting on you to win, Thomas.

Olwin: You can do it, little chugg-a-chug!

Robecca Steam: Come on!

Spencer: Silly little engine. When will he learn?

Thomas: You can do whatever you want to and I want to win.

Narrator: Thomas was huffing up a steep slope. He was puffing and panting and his axles ached. At last he reached the top.

Thomas: Hooray! I did it!

[Thomas clanked]

Narrator: Then there was trouble. There was a clank and a prang. Thomas gasped.

Thomas: (gasps) Cinders and ashes! I've broken my brakes!

Connor Lacey: What?!

[The team gasp]

Marco Polo: Hang on, everyone! It's going to be a bumpy ride!!!

Narrator: Thomas' wheels started to whir and to wobble. He flew faster and faster down the hill.

Thomas: Oh, no! Oh, help!

Narrator: Thomas raced down one hill and rattled up the next.

[The Irelanders scream as Thomas flies down the hill]

Thomas: Help! I can't stop!

Narrator: Thomas' heavy trucks pushed him on and on, through a junction where Spencer was waiting.

Thomas: Whoa!

Spencer: Blistering Boilers!

Narrator: And into some potato trucks. Potatoes bounced everywhere. But Thomas sped on, into a flatbed of jam barrels. Sticky jam flew in the air and landed all over Thomas. But still, he went on and found himself rolling along an old rickety track.

[Thomas whistles]

Narrator: Ahead, Thomas could see a thick wall of bushes.

Thomas: Fenders and funnels! How can I stop?!

Connor Lacey: Twilight, use your magic to slow him down!

Twilight Sparkle: Okay!

[Twilight uses her magic]

Sheriff: Nice work, Twilight. We're slowing down.

James Jones: But we're still going too fast.

Shi La Won: Watch out for those bushes, Thomas!

Fireman Sam: Brace yourselves!

Narrator: With a scrunch and a crunch, Thomas crashed into the bushes and came to a stop.

Thomas: Flaming fireboxes! That was scary.

The Irelanders: Whew!

Lightning McQueen: I'm glad that's over!

Mike Flood: Guess we should have checked the brakes weren't faulty first before we started the race.

Fireman Sam: Quite right, Mike. [to Thomas] And as for you, Thomas, you need to be more careful.

Thomas: I didn't know my brakes are going to be broken, Sam.

Fireman Sam: If you were going at that speed, something bad could've happened.

Thomas: I get it, Sam.

Fireman Sam: Good. Safety always comes first.

Chris Kratt: Huh. Well, that was kinda nuts.

Mandy Flood: It sure was.

Marco Polo: Well, that was an adventure.

Shi La Won: Huh. Some adventure. Next time, someone better check the brakes before starting a race.

Norman Price: (in Diego's voice) Yeah! Who's up for round 2?

Menasor (PWT): Norman!

Norman Price: What?

Sarah Jones: We can't do the same thing twice!

James Jones: Besides, I really don't like speed.

Spud The Scarecrow: Aw! Thomas: I'm sorry if I was going too fast, James.

James Jones: That's alright. Spike: But right now, we better figure out where exactly are we?

Computron (PWT): This place doesn't look familiar.

Kim Possible: I've never seen this place before.

Cedar Wood: Neither have I.

Narrator: Thomas looked around and so did the Irelanders. After the racing and rattling, it was very quiet.

Thomas: Spencer will be back at the shunting yards now. He'II be puffing with pride because he won the contest. And my best friend Percy will be wondering where I am.

Olwin: But you don't know where you are, dear.

Thomas: I know that,

Olwin. Rainbow Dash: Well, we're in the forest. I'm gonna fly up there and check it out.

[She's about to fly up but Applejack stop her by her tail]

Applejack: Hold on now. I think we should all stick together. Safety in numbers and all.

Rainbow Dash: Oh, all right.

Fluttershy: Does this forest look quieter to you, Rarity?

Rarity: But of course. Although, I must admit these woods are a fright. [step into muck] And look at the dirt everywhere. Uh.

James Jones: Well, this forest looks a bit scary. (whimpered in fright)

Connor Lacey: Don't worry. As long as we stay together, we're going to be okay.

Twilight Sparkle: Good.

Narrator: Everything was very quiet. Thomas and the Irelanders don't know what to do. Then, they heard a voice.

Male voice: Hello?

Fluttershy: Ah! What was that?

Fireman Sam: Hmm. I think that sounds like someone just said "hello".

Dottie: Don't be silly, Sam. We're the only ones in this forest.

Narrator: Thomas looked around. There was no one there. He waited, hardly daring to puff.

Marco Polo: Maybe we're just hearing things.

Olwin: Maybe you're right, dear. But it did sound like it was really a voice.

Male voice: Hello?

Pinkie Pie: There it is again.

Luigi Bellini: But who's saying hello?

Apple White: I don't know, Luigi.

Thomas: The voice seems to be coming from the bushes.

Finn McMissile: What do you think, Connor?

Connor Lacey: We should check it out.

Spike: But Connor, we don't even know who's saying "Hello".

Twilight Sparkle: Neither do I, Spike. But we're going to find out.

Jimmy Z: I'm not going in there. No way, no how.

Koki: Huh. No surprise.

Shi La Won: (to herself) Why do I get the feeling that that voice sounds familiar?

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: We better go and check to see who it is.

Narrator: Very slowly, Thomas chuffed forward into the bushes. The branches crackled and crunched. Then Thomas gasps. His eyes pop wide with wonder. There on the other side of the bushes was a very old engine. It was broken and rusty.

The Mane 6 and Spike: (gasps)

Fireman Sam: Great Fires of London!

Narrator: Thomas felt scared. He didn't dare speak.

Shi La Won: He looks familiar.

Connor Lacey: Hi.

Narrator: Then the old engine smiled at them. It was a little frighten smile but it made the old engine look kind and gentle and it made Thomas feel less scared.

Old engine: Hello. Too bad your brakes failed. Doesn't that always happen when you're on a hill?

Narrator: The old engine smiled again. Thomas wanted to smile too but he was scared. He didn't know whether to speak, toot for help or race backwards as fast as he could chuff. But Thomas didn't move. He couldn't take his eyes off this extraordinarily engine.

Thomas: Hello. My name is Thomas.

Old engine: (sighs) My name is Hiro. And what are your names, my little friends?

Connor Lacey: I'm Connor Lacey.

Twilight Sparkle: I'm Twilight Sparkle.

Lightning McQueen: I'm Lightning McQueen.

Dusty Crophopper: Dusty. Dusty Crophopper.

Olwin: I'm Olwin.

Fireman Sam: I'm Fireman Sam.

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

Marco Polo: I'm Marco Polo.

All: And we're the Irelanders!

Hiro: (sighs) Pleased to meet you, Thomas, Connor and friends.

Shi La Won: (gasps) Hiro? Is it really you?

Hiro: Shi La? Could it be? After all these years?

Shi La: Hiro!

[Shi La went over to Hiro and hug him]

Shi La: I thought I never see you again, Hiro.

Hiro: Neither did I, Shi La.

Fu Fu: (growls happily)

Hiro: Good to see you too, Fu Fu.

[The Irelanders and Thomas are confused]

Connor Lacey: What?

Duchess Swan: He's a friend of yours?

Shi La Won: Yep. His home, Japan is close to my home in China.

Hiro: We've known each other a long time when she's at the orphanage. But why are you here, Shi La?

Shi La: You see, Fu Fu and I was shipped onto a crate and ended up in Venice where I met Marco, Luigi, Connor and his friends. I traveled with them to get back to China and help Marco find his father, Niccolo Polo. I came here to visit Sodor until we ran into you. I knew this island sounded familiar.

Narrator: Thomas wasn't sure what to say next. He had never met an engine as old and strange as Hiro.

Thomas: Why are you here? Where have you been?

Rainbow Dash: What are you doing out here all by yourself? Forgotten by the outside world?

Hiro: (sighs) That's a very long story. Do you like stories, Thomas?

Thomas: Yes. The little engines in the hills tell me stories all the time.

Hiro: Then, I hope you and your friends like mine.

Connor Lacey: Then please. Tell us your story.

Hiro: I came here a long, long time ago from another island. I was one of the first steam engines to arrive on Sodor.

Narrator: Thomas was amazed. Thomas: Where is your island?

[A flashback to when Hiro worked in Japan]

Hiro: My island is a long, long way away.

Shi La: And not too far from my home in China.

Hiro: There are mountains and snow and sea. There are a lot of railways. I was the strongest engine at home. I was called Master of the Railway.

Olwin: How did you get here to Sodor?

Hiro: I came in a very big ship. The journey lasted many days and we sailed many seas.

[It changes to a black and white camera footage of Hiro being unloaded]

Hiro: When I arrived at the docks, it didn't look at all like home.

Connor Lacey: What was Sodor like back then?

Hiro: It was very quiet. I was the only engine on Sodor. They called me Master of the Railway here too. I was very happy.

Twilight Sparkle: But then what happened?

Hiro: (sighs sadly) I started to break down. The mechanics didn't have parts for me. So, I was put in a siding. I had to wait for parts from my island. I waited and waited. And now, I'm sure the parts will never come.

Narrator: Thomas' eyes were wide with wonder.

Thomas: Do you miss your home?

Hiro: Yes, I do. I miss being Master of the Railway.

Martin Kratt: Oh, no! Hiro must have been forgotten all those years.

[The Mane 6 look at the ground sadly]

Fluttershy: He does look very sad, Martin.

Dilys Price: You poor thing.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, I kinda feel very sorry for Hiro for being forgotten and left here on this siding in the woods.

Shi La Won: I thought Hiro's going to have a great time on Sodor but I never know this would happen.

Fireman Sam: He must have been here during our two visits to Sodor.

Penny Morris: Left alone and all forgotten.

Fu Fu: (sobs)

Koki: The poor engine.

Spike: (cries)

Moose Roberts: There must be something we can do to help, eh.

Rarity: Like what?

Connor Lacey: Well, why don't we ask The Fat Controller if he can fix Hiro?

Twilight Sparkle: What a wonderful idea, Connor. He is in charge of this railway now. He'II know what to do.

Thomas: Of course. That's a great idea, Connor. I will go and tell him right now.

Hiro: No! No! Please don't do that. You must not tell The Fat Controller.

Aviva Corcovado: Why not?

Hiro: I'm an old engine that cannot be repaired. I know what happens to old engines that cannot be really useful. (sighs) They're scrapped and sent to the Smelters' Yard.

[The team gasps]

Shi La Won: No. I cannot allow that to happen.

Fu Fu: (growls in agreement)

Thomas: That's not fair. That's not right. That can't happen to you.

Fireman Sam: This is serious. We all need to think really hard.

Narrator: Thomas could see that his new friend who was once Master of the Railway, was now old, alone and scared. So Thomas made a decision.

Thomas: I will look after you, Hiro. I won't tell The Fat Controller until you are fixed. You're safe with me. I'm sure I can find the parts to fix you. I promise I will make you a really useful engine once more. I will make you Master of the Railway again.

Mater: Wa-how!

The Mane 6: All right!

Applejack: Yee-haw! Now that's a brilliant idea.

Connor Lacey: Good thinking, Thomas!

Shi La Won: Thank you, thank you, all!

Derek Price: It's the least we can do.

Fireman Sam: We will help Thomas get some parts to fix you, Hiro.

Chug: That's right.

Marco Polo: Count us in. We're be helping Connor and his friends find all the right parts for you so you won't have to be here anymore.

Rainbow Dash: All right, girls. You heard him. The fate of Hiro is in our hooves. Do we have what it takes?

Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity: We can do it.

Spike: Wait. What if the other engines find out?

Olwin: Well, if they get suspicious, Spike, we're just have to tell them without The Fat Controller to know. There has to be a way.

Narrator: Hiro smiled the biggest smile he had smiled in a long, long time.

Hiro: Thank you, everyone. Thank you for looking after me.

Narrator: Thomas puffed with pride.

[The scene changes to the Steamworks]

Narrator: Later that morning, Thomas was at the Sodor Steamworks. He was having his brakes fixed. Thomas liked the Steamworks. There was hustle and bustle, sparks and spanners. It was lively and friendly. And there was Victor. Thomas liked Victor. Victor: Thomas? Tell me, my friend. What were you doing there in the middle of nowhere, pulling 7 loaded flatbeds? Are you crazy? Next time Spencer tells you to do something silly, do me a favor will you? And your little friends as well. Say no? Thomas: Okay, Victor. Narrator: Thomas had almost forgotten about the contest with Spencer. His boiler was bubbbling with excitement over Hiro. He wanted to tell Victor but he knew he couldn't. Other engines might hear and then someone might tell The Fat Controller.

Martin Kratt: So, this is where Thomas was painted into the number 1 engine here?

Connor Lacey: Yup. It's also where Thomas was painted blue as well.

The Mane 6: Huh?

Rarity: Wait. You mean he wasn't always blue?

Razer: Right. When we first met him, he was painted teal-green with white-and-yellow lining and has LBSC lettering and the number 70 on him too when he came to Sodor from Brighton on the mainland.

James Jones: And not only that, my engine counterpart wasn't always red either. When we first met him, he was a black engine to start with. He also have wooden brakes.

Chris Kratt: Whoa. Then what happened?

Sarah Jones: Then James' engine counterpart crashed into a cow field, so Thomas came to his rescue with Judy and Jerome the breakdown train and he was repaired and repainted into a red engine while Thomas have finally became a really useful engine. That's how he got his own branch line.

Martin Kratt: Wow! You must've been quite the hero, Thomas!

Thomas: I was!

Luigi Bellini: He must be tried his best to become really useful, right?

Spud the Scarecrow: Well, not quite, Luigi. He did have some mishaps along the way like leaving his passenger train behind and couldn't handle the Troublesome Trucks when he first pull them.

Thomas: Okay, Spud. You don't have to tell them about the mishaps I've had.

Spud the Scarecrow: Oh, sorry.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, what ever Thomas did in the past, it's probably best to put those behind us.

Marco Polo: You're right, Twilight. We don't want to bring back embarrassing stories about what happened back in the past.

Fireman Sam: Thomas and James aren't the only ones who has previous appearances.

Martin Kratt: Who else?

Connor Lacey: Henry.

Olwin: Really?

Shi La Won: What does Henry's got to do with this?

Connor Lacey: Well, to start off with, Henry wasn't always as we see him now. He had a old shape with a small firebox which doesn't give enough heat to make steam.

[The others gasp]

Fluttershy: The poor thing.

Koki: Yeah, poor Henry.

Marco Polo: How did The Fat Controller make him feel better?

Connor Lacey: Well, when we met Henry again, he told us that after we left before winter and two months, he's been given special Welsh coal that made him feel better.

Fireman Sam: It came from Wales where our hometown, Pontypandy is.

Koki: Whoa.

Norman Price: We were very surprised when he told us that.

Luigi Bellini: What happened next?

Connor Lacey: Well, Henry was pulling a fish train called the Flying Kipper when he went onto some frozen points to a siding since the snowstorm forces the signal down and crashed into the back of a train via the brakevan.

Poppy O'Hair: Oh, my!

Fluttershy: How horrible.

Martin Kratt: Ooh, that must've hurt.

[Fu Fu growls in agreement]

Olwin: Did he get fixed?

Connor Lacey: Yes, only he had the shape we see him in now.

Chris Kratt: How?

Fireman Sam: Well, the Fat Controller sent him to Crewe, an engine workshop on the Mainland for sick engines. They give him a larger firebox and a brand new shape so he won't need special Welsh coal anymore.

Connor Lacey: And that's how Henry got the way he is now.

Marco, Shi La, Luigi, The Mane 6, Spike, Olwin and The Wild Kratts: Whoa.

Olwin: Is this where chuggers came to be fixed on Sodor?

Connor Lacey: It sure is.

Olwin: Then, why's it called Steamworks?

Robonyan F: Because only Steamies can be fixed here. And you're a steamie.

Olwin: Back in Chuggington, the repair shed fix steam and diesel chuggers. Where do the diesels get fixed?

Fireman Sam: Hmm. I'm not quite sure.

Jimmy Z: Um, guys?

Martin Kratt: What is it?

Jimmy Z: We got company.

Spencer: So, there you are Thomas. Broken down I see. Seven flatbeds must have just be too heavy for you.

Chris Kratt: So what if they were? He still would've won, if his brakes hadn't failed.

Spencer: Well, at least it proves that Thomas' not so very strong after all.

Olwin: Spencer!

Koki: I'm really started to hate that silver speedster.

Thomas: Good morning, Spencer. Well done.

Narrator: Spencer was amazed. He wasn't expecting Thomas to be cheery.

Spencer: Uh, what do you say?

Thomas: I said "Good morning" and "well done".

Spencer: I... I....

Victor: Do you have a job to do, Spencer or are you just gonna stand here, chatting? You're taking up a lot of track.

Narrator: Spencer was shocked.

Spencer: No one speaks to me like that!

Narrator: Then, Spencer slid away, sneering.

Spencer: (muttering) I can't believe....

Shi La Won: Ooh, Victor, you really put your wheel in it then.

[Fu Fu growls in agreement]

Victor: He's all silver steam and bossy boiler that one.

[Thomas chuckles]

Narrator: Thomas laughed. He like Victor.

Victor: I'm sorry that he's related to you, Olwin.

Olwin: Never mind, dear.

Mickey Mouse: I'm sure we can sort him out, won't we, boy?

[Pluto barks and panted]

Martin Kratt: That's the spirit.

Victor: Okay, my friend, you're all fixed. Please stay away from Mr Silver Steam. The Fat Controller needs you on your branch line.

Thomas: Thank you, Victor.

[A bang is heard and everyone turns to the yellow crane]

Kevin: Sorry, boss.

Victor: (sighs) Kevin. What are you doing? How many times do I have to tell you? You don't drop things, you lower things. Slowly, slowly. Gently, gently.

Kevin: Yes, boss. Sorry, boss. I was trying, boss. Just a slip of me hook.

Martin Kratt: Hi, name's Martin. Martin Kratt.

Chris Kratt: I'm his brother, Chris.

Aviva Corcovado: I'm Aviva Corcovado. But you can call me Aviva.

Koki: My name's Koki.

Jimmy Z: I'm Jimmy Z but you can call me Jimmy.

Martin Kratt: Together, we're the Wild Kratts!

Kevin: Nice to meet you.

Connor Lacey: Hey guys, look. A flatbed with an old cylinder on it.

[They look at it]

Chris Kratt: Whoa.

Olwin: That would make a good engine part for Hiro.

Shi La Won: Yes.

Manny Taur: That could work.

Fluttershy: But won't Victor mind if we can take the part away from him?

Thomas: I'm sure he will, Fluttershy. We're come back for that later after I finish my work.

Narrator: Thomas puff away, excited.

[The scene changes to Thomas and the Irelanders delivering straw trucks] Narrator: That afternoon, Thomas was busy on his branch line. He wanted to finish his jobs as fast as he can puff. Percy: Tell me all about the contest, Thomas. Thomas: I'm sorry, Percy. I can't stop. I've so much to do. I'II tell you all about it later. Narrator: Percy was disappointed. Percy: Bye, then, Thomas.

[The scene changes to the Irelanders pondering Thomas' decision]

Fireman Sam: Did you really have to tell Percy that, Thomas?

Thomas: Why?

James Jones: He's your best friend and friends should always let one another in on a secret.

Thomas: I know, but I need to finish all my jobs quickly so that I can take that part to Hiro. I'II tell Percy when we're done.

Marco Polo: Okay, if you say so.

[The scene changes to back at the Steamworks where Thomas and The Irelanders are entering]

Narrator: Later, Thomas and the Irelanders came back to the Sodor Steamworks. They were pleased to see it was very quiet.

Connor Lacey: Victor. What's to become that old cylinder over there?

Victor: That pile of junk? It just taking up space.

Elvis Cridlington: So, you won't mind if we take it do you?

Victor: Isn't Thomas busy, my friend?

Thomas: No. I can take it easily.

Kevin: Would you like a helping hook?

Thomas: No, thank you Kevin.

Narrator: So Thomas was coupled to the flatbed and they went away along towards the track that lead to Hiro. Then they heard the clatter of wheels and pounding pistons of a big engine behind them.

Thomas: (gasps) It's Spencer. I don't want him to see us. He'II wonder that we're doing with this old cylinder.

Olwin: You hide, dear and I'll distract him.

Thomas: Okay.

Chris Kratt: Quick! Into those bushes.

Connor Lacey: Come on!

Narrator: Thomas huff and puffed as fast as he could towards a siding. His boiler bubbled as he slowed to a stop.

Marco Polo: Hide.

Fluttershy: Phew. Made it.

Narrator: Spencer's rattle and roar came closer and closer as he rolled by. Then Spencer stop and reversed. He was on the other side of the trees to Thomas. Thomas hardly dare puff.

Rainbow Dash: (whispering) Hey, Kim. Do you think he's spotted us?

Kim Possible: I'm not sure.

Olwin: Hello, Spencer. What are you doing here?

Spencer: Delivering supplies to the summer house, of course. What are you doing? Being tenderless?

Olwin: Well, I was looking for my friends and I was wondering if you'd seen them.

Spencer: No, I haven't seen them but I thought I heard something.

Olwin: There's nothing to hear but the birds, dear.

Spencer: Hmm.

[Fu Fu chitters and fly up but Shi La grabs him and pulls him out of sight]

Olwin: Well, don't waste your time standing around looking for the sound you heard, those supplies won't deliver themselves you know.

Spencer: Hmm. [He steams off]

Sparky: That was a close one. Spencer also caught us.

Thomas: I'II say, Sparky.

Olwin: He's gone. You can come out.

Connor Lacey: Thanks for the distraction, Olwin.

Norman Price: Spencer could have spotted us because of that stupid noisy bat!

Shi La Won: Hey!

Norman Price: Guess you haven't taught him to be quiet but then again, he can't since he's a wild animal and they belong in the wild, not with humans.

Shi La Won: Fu Fu and I are best friends. No way am I sending him back to the wild.

[She then use her karate skills on Norman, making fall flat to the ground]

Norman Price: Ouch! Everyone: Oh.

Spud the Scarecrow: Just to remind you, Shi La, Koki and I know karate. (doing his karate skills and noises) See?

Koki: Yeah, Spud, we get it.

Shi La: He-he.

Marco Polo: Okay guys, that's enough. I know Fu Fu sometimes nearly blows our cover, Norman but he's not stupid.

[The others nod in agreement]

Thomas: Besides, we better get going and get this part to Hiro.

[The scene changes to the Irelanders and Thomas arriving at Hiro's hideout]

Narrator: Hiro was very happy to see everyone. Thomas' driver and fireman unloaded the old cylinder.

[Shi La smiles at Hiro]

Shi La: Did you know, Hiro that Fu Fu saves me from a white tiger?

Hiro: No, I did not actually. We haven't spoken to each other in a long time.

Shi La: I know. It all started when we're traveling through India when Fu Fu gets snatched by Jayanti's brother, Adi who thought Fu Fu is the Great Bat Defender who is destined to fight a white tiger like his village and mis mother, Padma. I doubt that at first until I got stuck in a trap, me and friends made.

Hiro: Oh, my.

Connor Lacey: But then Fu Fu attacks the tiger and after we got Shi La out of the pit, Fu Fu lure it into it and we caught him.

Marco Polo: And that's how Fu Fu saves Shi La's life. I was a bit worried.

Hiro: Wow.

Talia: I know.

Silverbolt (G1): What an adventure.

Chris Kratt: Who ever thought that little bat can take on a big animal?

Martin Kratt: That was some creature power. Apart from his love for Shi La, of course.

Shi La: Thanks.

Thomas: Tomorrow Hiro, we're come back and we can start work. I have to go back to Tidmouth Sheds now. The other engines will be wondering where my friends and I am. Hiro: Thank you, Thomas.

Narrator: Thomas smiled and steam quickly away and puff back towards Tidmouth. He chuffed around a bend, then he gasped.

Thomas: (gasps) Cinders and ashes!

Connor Lacey: What's wrong Thomas? Thomas: Look over there, Connor. The Duke and Duchess of Boxford's summer house is very close to Hiro's hiding place.

Norman Price: (gasps) Do you know what this means? Spencer: will be coming here every single day.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, no! You're right, Norman. And if Spencer keeps coming here, he's one step closer to finding out about Hiro each time.

Aviva Corcovado: And if he does, he'II tell the Fat Controller and then he'II surely be sending Hiro to the Smelters' Yard for good.

Shi La: No!

Fu Fu: [worried chitter]

Marco Polo: Don't worry, Shi La. We'II make sure that won't happened but what can we do?

Olwin: Well, I could keep him distracted whilst you move behind him very quickly.

Fireman Sam: Hmm. It sounds risky, Olwin, but we must do our best to keep this a secret from your brother until Hiro is fully repaired and ready to be a really useful engine again.

Twilight Sparkle: So, I suggest we avoid him until then.

Thomas: You're both right. We must do our best to protect Hiro. We're have to be very, very careful.

[The scene changes to Tidmouth Sheds at night]

Narrator: That night, Thomas told his friends all about his contest with Spencer. He was going to tell them about Hiro but the Fat Controller arrived.

[He walks over]

The Fat Controller: Tomorrow, you all have a very busy day. Your jobs will start especially early. So Thomas, don't puff around the island pulling heavy loads or any other silly ideas. I need really useful engines, not really broken ones.

Thomas: Yes, sir.

Narrator: Now, Thomas didn't dare tell his friends about Hiro. The Fat Controller had spoken, "No broken engines".

Twilight Sparkle: Uh, maybe it's time we all got a little shut-eye. We've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow.

Fireman Sam: Right.

Penny Morris: At least we make a start, finding the right part for Hiro. (yawns) Night, everyone.

Rainbow Dash: [yawns] I gotta admit I'm pretty beat.

Applejack: Yeah, I'm gonna hit the hay myself.

Olwin: Night, dears. (went off to a shed nearby)

Spud the Scarecrow: Night, everyone.

Spike: [snoring]

Twilight Sparkle: Goodnight, Spike. [giggle] Sweet dreams, number one assistant.

[Twilight, Fireman Sam, Marco, Chris, Martin, Aviva and Connor remained awake when they saw Shi La looking at the sky, sadly]

Aviva: What's wrong Shi La?

Shi La: I was thinking about Hiro, Aviva. He has been left in the woods for a very long time and has been forgotten since he broke down. it must haven been quite sad that he is no longer The Master of the Railway and felt very lonely.

[Aviva hugs Shi La to comfort her]

Aviva: He'll be fine, Shi La. Besides, we helped anyone. Broken down engine or not.

Twilight Sparkle: Aviva's right, Shi La. He won't be sad and alone any more now that he's got us to protect him and once he's fixed, he will be the Master of the Railway once more. We just need to get all the parts Hiro needs to get himself working once again.

Fireman Sam: He will be as good as new once we repair him. We just have to make sure Spencer doesn't find out about him.

Connor Lacey: Yeah. Don't you worry.

Chris Kratt: Your friend is going to be A-okay!

Marco Polo: Shi La, I know you're worried for Hiro but we'II do whatever it takes to help him. I promise.

Shi La: Thanks.

Martin Kratt: Like a talking cat would say "Everything's gonna turn out purrfect.".

[Chris Kratt thumbs up]

Fu Fu: (chitters in agreement)

Shi La: (to Martin) Good pun, Martin.

Martin Kratt: Thanks. I was great at that.

Fireman Sam: I think we better get some sleep now.

Connor Lacey: Right.

[They head to bed]

[The scene changes to the next day]

Narrator: The next day, Thomas had a very busy morning but he wasn't happy. He wanted to be with Hiro.

Applejack: Is Thomas feeling okay?

Charlie Jones: I think he's thinking about Hiro.

Metroplex (PWT): He's not the only one. (he gestures to Shi La)

Shi La: I hope Hiro was okay, sleeping under the stars.

Koki: Of course, he's okay, Shi La.

Martin Kratt: Maybe we should pay him a visit.

Fireman Sam: We can't at the moment, Martin.

Martin Kratt: I meant afterwards, obviously.

Connor Lacey: Yeah, cause right now, Thomas have so much work to do.

Twilight Sparkle: You're right there, Connor. We gotta find a way to get Thomas and Shi La to see Hiro again.

[The Irelanders all think about it]

Marco Polo: I know. Another engine can cover Thomas' work for us.

Rarity: But who will be able to take over Thomas' work for us? Marco Polo: Would you do it, Olwin?

Olwin: I would, except I had to help you get past Spencer, remember?

Marco Polo: Oh, yeah.

Raven Queen: I hope another engine will come by.

Rainbow Dash: Hey, there's one coming right now.

James Jones: It's Percy.

Tom Thomas: Hey, Percy mate. Can we have a quick chat?

Percy: Sure, Tom. What's the matter?

Connor Lacey: Well, we're just gonna tell you something but you got to make sure Spencer doesn't hear. Got it?

[Percy nods]

Thomas: We've found the oldest engine on Sodor. His name is Hiro.

Percy: Bust my buffers! Where?

Thomas: We're show you later. I promise. He need us to look after him. Will you help us?

Percy: Of course, I will, Thomas. What can I do? Thomas: Please, will you take this flatbed farm machinery to Farmer McColl for me? Percy: But should I do with my mail trucks?Mike Flood: Why don't you pretend you lost them? Helen Flood: No, Mike. Chris Kratt: I think you should hide them somewhere safe for now. Somewhere right off the tracks and later you can carry on with your mail delivery. Percy: Okay.Thomas: Now, I chuff away to Hiro as quickly as we can. Raven Queen: Make sure you get that machinery with you. Olwin: Ta-ra, Percy. Narrator: Percy was excited. He was happy to help Thomas. [The scene changes to Percy on the main line] Narrator: Percy had puff a long way. He was on tracks he didn't know. He was looking for somewhere to hid his mail trucks. Percy: Must find somewhere right off the track. My trucks must be safe until I get back. [He stop when he saw a line went into some woods] Percy: This is the perfect place to leave my trucks. No one will find them here.

[He puff into the woods and the scene changes to the Irelanders, Olwin and Thomas heading to Hiro's hideout]

Narrator: Thomas along with Olwin and The Irelanders on board puff happily towards Hiro's hideout. They were so busy thinking about helping Hiro that they didn't see Spencer steaming up behind them.

Spencer: What are you, Olwin and your little friends doing here, Thomas? You're a long way, away from your branch line.

Olwin: Oh, hello, Spencer, we're just clearing our heads, aren't we dears?

Irelanders: Um, right.

[Fu Fu wanted to bite Spencer but Shi La pull him back]

Shi La: Fu Fu! Don't bite.

Norman Price: Ha. Told ya.

Shi La: Norman!

Spencer: Don't be offensive towards your friend's pet. [quietly to himself] Even though I don't care.

Connor Lacey: That's enough, Norman.

Dilys Price: That's right.

Thomas: Anyway, we're on our way to.. Brendam Docks.

Narrator: Thomas raced away from Spencer and the summer house as quickly as his pistons can pump.

Spencer: This is very strange. Very strange indeed.

Narrator: Thomas didn't dare chuff to Hiro until much later.

Hiro: I thought you weren't coming, everyone.

Shi La: We're sorry we're late, Hiro. We ran into Spencer on the way here.

Connor Lacey: We had to get another engine to do Thomas' jobs for him, Hiro.

Rainbow Dash: We have to make a fib to Spencer in order to avoid suspicion.

Thomas: But at least we're here now. Like I said before, I'm not going to let you down.

Applejack: Right. I brought some tools with me. So now we can attach that cylinder on Hiro.

Mike Flood: Koki, Dottie and I can help you with that, AJ.

Koki: Well, I don't repair engines before but okay.

Dottie: Well, I'll give it a whirl!

Applejack: Okay, let's get-a-doin'.

Norman Price: Let me do it. I'II prove I'm good at fixing.

[He started to use the hammer to bang the cylinder on Hiro very fast in a blur but Shi La stop him by grabbing him by the back of his coat]

Shi La: Norman! Not too hard! Fixing an engine can't be done that fast.

Norman Price: What's the matter? Am I putting the cylinder the wrong way round?

Shi La: No. You're making Hiro even more damaged than he already is.

Twilight Sparkle: Um, maybe you let Applejack, Mike, Koki and Dottie fix Hiro, Norman.

Fireman Sam: I agree. Those tools belong to Applejack, Mike, Koki and Dottie. Not you.

Spud the Scarecrow: Yeah. I once took Bob's tool kit and cause damage by not fixing things properly and a wind blew me to the roof of a house and got me stuck.

Derek Price: That's quite the memory.

Norman Price: All right. I'II let them do it.

Applejack: All right then. Let's get that old cylinder into place.

Mike Flood: Right.

[They get to work]

Narrator: Soon, Hiro's piston rods were in place.

Applejack: There you go, Hiro. The first part is attached.

Connor Lacey: Don't worry, Hiro. We'II come back with some more spare parts for you as soon as we can.

Hiro: Thank you, Connor. Please don't get into trouble for me. Especially Thomas and Shi La as well. I'm a old engine.

Thomas: And we will make you new again. Bye, Hiro.

[They set off]

Narrator: Thomas was puffing home as fast as his pistons can pump. He was late. He had to puff past the summer house.

Spencer: Thomas? You, Olwin and your little friends are up to something, aren't you?

Narrator: Thomas didn't answer. He chuff quickly away. Spencer followed, close behind. Thomas was puffing fast. Then Thomas, Olwin and the Irelanders saw Percy at the water tower. Percy look sad.

Luigi: What's wrong, Percy?

Percy: I popped a valve when I was pulling the heavy farm machinery.

Narrator: Thomas felt sorry for his friend.

Marco Polo: How can I be so stupid?

[Sam gives him a comforting pat]

Fireman Sam: Don't worry, Marco. We didn't know Percy's gonna burst a valve. At least your idea help Shi La see Hiro again.

[Marco look at Shi La who smiles at him]

Shi La: Yeah. Thank you, Marco.

Marco Polo: You're welcome. (blushes)

Yuya Sakaki: Aw.

Narrator: Spencer had followed Thomas. He steam to a stop.

Spencer: Dear, oh dear, Percy. You should let a stronger engine pull the heavy load.

Narrator: Spencer chuffed on. Rarity: My, my, my. What rudeness and boasting.

Olwin: Yeah, I don't even know why I'm related to him.

Spencer: (in the distance) I heard that, Olwin!

Thomas: I'm sorry, Percy. You were helping us. Now, you've broken down.

Percy: I'm worried, Thomas. I still haven't deliver the mail. The Fat Controller will be cross.

Thomas: Don't worry, Percy. Tomorrow, we'II help you.

Ishani: We'II find those trucks once you're fixed.

Razer: Indeed.

Chris Kratt: (whispering) Yuya, what's the "aw" moment?

Yuya Sakaki: I think Marco is starting to develop feelings for Shi La.

Chris Kratt: Huh? How you know about that?

Yuya Sakaki: I saw his cheeks turn red.

Chris Kratt: Like his clothes and hat?

[Yuya nods]

[Pinkie did the classic drum and cymbals sound in the background]

Thomas: [chuckles with Percy]

Trevor Evans: So, what now?

Olwin: We better get the little chuga-chug to the Steamworks.

Spike: Good idea, Olwin. I'm sure Victor would make him as good as new.

Narrator: All the way to the Sodor Steamworks, the good friends chattered and chuckled about Hiro.

[They went to the Steamworks]

Narrator: The Sodor Steamworks was quiet. Victor was very surprised to see Thomas, Olwin and the Irelanders came in with Percy.

Victor: Flaming fireboxes. What's happened now, my friends?

Thomas: I asked Percy to pull my special for me. His valve popped.

Victor: Why didn't you pull it yourself?

Thomas: Um.. Because I, uh....

Percy: Because he... Oh!

[A bang make everyone cringe and turn to Kevin]

Victor: Oh! Kevin! Slowly, slowy. Gently, gently.

Kevin: Sorry, boss. Just a slip of the...

Victor: Hook. I know.

Marco Polo: Please don't be cross with Thomas, Victor. It was really my fault that Percy broke down. We just wanted someone to cover Thomas' work for us.

Victor: What do you mean by that, Marco?

Rainbow Dash: Okay. Maybe we should tell Victor the truth. Don't you agree, Shi La?

Shi La: Um, well....

Thomas: It's okay, Shi La. I'II tell Victor what we're doing.

Victor: Tell me what, Thomas?

Narrator: Then Thomas saw the old parts. He knew Hiro needed them. He knew he would have to tell Victor about Hiro.

Thomas: Victor, I need your help.

Percy: We need your help.

Victor: I'II always help you my friend. What is it you need?

Narrator: So, Thomas told Victor about Hiro. Victor was amazed.

Victor: Very good. Looking after another engine is very important. Especially looking after an old engine. Tell the Fat Controller.

Connor Lacey: No. We can't tell him. He'll send Hiro to the Smelters' yard.

Perceptor (PWT): Connor's right. But if we fix Hiro and make him a really useful engine once more, that will never happen.

Victor: Okay. I understand. And Thomas. Whatever I put in this corner of the yard, you and your friends can take.

Narrator: Thomas and Percy are very happy.

Thomas: Thank you, Victor.

Victor: Okay, Percy. Your turn to be fixed.

[The scene changes to Tidmouth Sheds]

Narrator: That evening, Thomas puff into Tidmouth Sheds. The Fat Controller was waiting. He was cross.

Pinkie Pie: Uh-oh.

Norman Price: I think we're in trouble.

The Fat Controller: Connor and Thomas, I hear Percy was pulling Thomas' special instead of delivering the mail. And now Percy's mail trucks are missing.

Connor Lacey: We're ever so sorry, sir. We didn't mean for Percy to broke down and we don't even know where his mail trucks are.

Apple White: Yeah.

Thomas: But our friends and I will help Percy find them tomorrow.

The Fat Controller: That's exactly what all of you'II do tomorrow. By my order! (echoes)

Narrator: The Fat Controller's voice boomed round Tidmouth Sheds from top to tracks.

Elvis Cridlington: Wow! That was even louder than Station Officer Steele.

Station Officer Steele: I heard that, Cridlington!

Narrator:. All the other engines looked at Thomas, Olwin and the Irelanders. They knew something's strange was going on.

Edward: Thomas? Are you and Connor all right?

Olwin: I think we better tell them.

Narrator: Thomas huff a huge puff. He needed his friends' help.Thomas: (sighs) We have something very important to tell you.Narrator: As the stars sparkled above Tidmouth, Thomas, Olwin and the Irelanders told them all about Hiro. The engines had never heard such a amazing story.

[The scene changes to the next day]

Narrator: The next morning, Thomas was a really useful engine. He huffed and he puffed. He shoved and he shunted, without stopping to ease his axles. Spencer watch Olwin and Thomas' every wheel turn and piston pump. Spencer didn't go to work at the Duke and Duchess' summer house. He was too busy watching Olwin and Thomas to see Gordon go by pulling a flatbed of old engine parts for Hiro. Thomas and Olwin saw Gordon. Gordon saw Thomas and Olwin and they smiled.

[Gordon set off]

Narrator: Thomas had worked hard all day. He and Olwin have to pick up Connor and his friends on his way to the Sodor Steamworks. Gordon steam towards Olwin and Thomas. Gordon was beaming from buffer to buffer. He was very happy to be helping Hiro.

Gordon: Job done! Job done! Now, I must hurry. The Express mustn't be late.

Olwin: I'm so glad you helped out, dear.

Connor Lacey and Gigi Grant: You're a great friend.

Thomas: Well done, Gordon!

Gordon: Thank you, Thomas!
