Ttte: Hero Of The Rails (Oc Insert) Repost

Chapter 8: The Run

[The scene changes to dawn the next day]

Dawn broke across the island of Sodor. Spencer was back on the track.

Spencer: Today, I will find out what that Tricky Little Violet is up to.

Spencer was looking for clues. He looked behind bushes. He steamed down sightings and puffed closer and closer to Hiro's hiding place. Suddenly...

[Spencer whistles, alerting Hiro, James and Toby]

Spencer whistled long and hard.

Spencer: (smirks) What's this I found?

James and Toby heard Spencer. They pumped their pistons.

Spencer: Rattle my rods. I found Percy's mail trucks. These must be part of My Little Tricky Violet's tricks.

Suddenly, James and Toby steamed out. Spencer had puffed too close to Hiro. James blew his whistle and Toby rang his bell. Together, they chase the mighty Spencer down the track and away from Hiro.

The three engines raced and roared to a junction. Then Violet chuffed toward Spencer.

[Spencer sees Violet and screeches to a halt]

Spencer was blocked. He couldn't puff forwards and he couldn't huff backwards. And he had Percy's mail cars.

[The scene changes to Knapford Station]

Sir Topham Hatt: Spencer, why did you take Percy's mail trucks? You have caused confusion and delay.

Spencer: But I didn't take them....

Sir Topham Hatt: I'm not interested in your excuses, Spencer. Find Percy and give him back his mail cars.

(Violet puffs away while The Fat Controller is scolding Spencer, giving a smug smirk to Spencer as he looks at her in shock and disbelief)

Spencer: I won't let My Violet get away with this.

[The scene changes to Violet arriving at Hiro's hideout]

That afternoon, Hiro was waiting for Violet. He was excited. His firebox flared and his steam swirled.

Violet: Percy will be here soon with your water injector. It's the last part you need to make enough steam.

Hiro: I wonder if Sir Topham Hatt will have seen any pictures of me?

Violet: Of course, he will. He'll be very proud to have you as part of his railway.

Hiro: I'm so happy. I have waited a long time.

Hiro and Violet chuckle, until....

[Then Spencer's whistle echoed]

Suddenly, there was the sound of a loud whistle.

[Spencer's whistle again]

It was a whistle they all feared.

Violet: (gasp) Spencer!

Hiro: He's found us! Help, Violet. Spencer will make sure he'll send me to the Smelters yard.

Violet: No he won't, Hiro. You're almost fixed. You can puff away from Spencer. Just follow and trust me.

So, with a pounding puff and a heaving huff, Hiro was on the tracks, Following Violet to steam away from Spencer. Hiro steamed down the track, rattling and clattering. His pistons pumped and his boiler bubbled.

Violet: Well done, Hiro!

Hiro: Thank You, Violet! (laughs)

Then there was trouble. Spencer snaked onto the tracks beside Violet.

Spencer: Found You, Lovely Violet!

Violet: Spencer! (stares in disbelief and shock)

Violet's wheels whirred like the wind.

Spencer: You won't get away from me this time!

Hiro chuffed as fast as he could. He wanted to wheesh away from Spencer. Then Spencer saw Hiro and gasped. Spencer had never seen an engine as strange as Hiro before.

Spencer: Who are you?

Violet: Hiro!

Hiro: Violet!

Spencer: That engine can't even puff properly.

Hiro's engine has started to clatter and clunk. His steam dome shook and his cylinders creaked. Hiro was worried. Without the last engine part, Hiro can only sputter and splutter. Hiro's new lamp broke loose and hit Spencer. Now Hiro's engine started to judder and jitter. Parts fell off. They clanged and they banged onto the track.

Hiro: No!

Violet: Don't worry, Hiro! You can do it!

[A yellow screw came out of Hiro]

Hiro: Violet, Help Me!

But the harder Hiro puffed, the worse he wobbled.

Violet: Keep Puffing, Hiro!

More parts clattered and scattered from Hiro's engine.

Hiro: Violet!

Violet: You can do it, Hiro!

Spencer: I don't think he can.

Hiro knew Spencer was right. The Master Of The Railway was once more a heap of scrap. Hiro couldn't puff on.

Spencer: Is THIS what you've been doing, Violet? Making a heap of scrap for the Smelters Yard? Because that's the only thing that this engine is good for. Sir Topham Hatt will make sure of that.

Violet felt Horrible. She had worked so hard to help Hiro, but she now has let him down, her eyes started to water knowing that Hiro will be sent to the scrap yard, and there would be nothing she can do to stop that from happening.

Violet: How can I stop Hiro from going to the Smelter's Yard now?

[Then a familiar whistle was heard]

Then Violet heard another whistle. She gasped to see that It was Gordon and he was pulling the express, Thomas had followed behind him.

Gordon: I'll race you the Maithwaite, slowcoach Spencer. I'll win!

Spencer was surprised. He saw Gordon thunder ahead with the express.

Spencer: Oh, no you won't, Gordon. I'll win.

Spencer steamed after Gordon. His funnel flared and his wheels whirred.

He didn't see Thomas looking down a smaller track.

Thomas: Violet, There's a siding.

Violet saw where Thomas was looking and kept her tears in as she held onto Determination.

Violet: Don't worry, Hiro. We'll hide you down here. Everything will be alright.

But Hiro looked sadder than ever.
