DOTD Thomas x Percy Angst

It had been a few weeks since Percy joined the Diesels, and Thomas hadn’t come to see him at all, Percy was now fully convinced that Thomas had forgotten about him. The diesels were delighted.

“Now now dear Percy, we will never leave you behind, unlike that puffball Thomas…” D10 said soothingly to Percy, wiping away his tears, and doing his best to keep his makeup in tact.

“I-I know, but still, I can’t help but miss him even though I mean nothing to him…” Percy said, holding onto D10’s hand. D10 sighed.

“That’s what’s called a toxic relationship dear Percy.”

“What’s a toxic relationship?” Percy asked innocently. D10 smiled.

“A toxic relationship is when you don’t feel supported or loved by the person who’s supposed to do that, and when the relationship stops bringing joy, and it instead makes you sad, or angry, or depressed, that’s when you need to leave the person who’s doing this to you behind. It’s all for the best little Percy.” D10 explained. Percy’s eyes widened as he began to cry even more. D10 held him close.

“After all these years we've been together, and as soon as Belle comes along, boom! He leaves me just like that… What did I do wrong 10?” Percy asked, clutching onto D10’s jacket, tears running down his face.

“You’ve done nothing wrong my little Percy, I’d never leave you like that.” D10 said, patting Percy’s back. Percy blushed, he’d never been called that before, and it made him feel wonderful, like someone finally understood him, finally wanted him around, someone finally loved him. Suddenly, they heard the whistle of an oh-so-familiar steam engine,

It was Thomas.

“Percy! There you are! I’ve been looking all over the island for you and- *gasp* what are you wearing! You look like a criminal! And what’s on your face! You look like a clown!” Thomas said, turning into his human self. Percy’s eyes twitched with rage, the one time he didn’t want to see Thomas, he shows up immediately.

“What are you doing here you useless blue puff-” D10 began but Percy cut him off.

“Don’t worry 10, I can handle this…” Percy said, walking slowly to Thomas, grabbing his guns. Thomas saw this and backed away.

“P-Percy? What’re doing? Come on, this is silly, please, come back with me! Everyone’s worried about you!” Thomas said, terrified of what his boyfriend had become.

“You think your dumbass can just walk in here, tell me I look like shit, manipulate me into thinking, “Oh Percy! Everyone’s SOOOOO worried about you!” and expect me to come home with you?! Are you out of your fucking mind!? HELL NO!!!” Percy screamed, clutching onto his guns even tighter.

“But I’m telling the truth! The Fat Controller wants you to come back! Everyone does, even James! I’m sorry for leaving you-” But Percy didn’t want to hear it, he then shoved Thomas to the ground.

“NO ONE EVER WANTED ME AROUND THOMAS!!! YOU AND I BOTH KNOW I MEAN NOTHING TO YOU!!!” Percy screamed at the top of his lungs. He then pulled out his gun and pointed right at Thomas’ forehead!

“Leave Thomas, leave and never come back! I’m not going back into our toxic relationship with you! D10 would never treat me like you have so I’m staying here!” Percy said, pure rage boiling in his eyes. Thomas looked terrified, he didn’t know what to do.

“D10 is just trying to trick you! They all are! *tries to get up and take Percy’s gun away* Just put the gun down-” Percy gasped as he jumped backwards and shot Thomas in the cheek!

“I said L E A V E Thomas!!!” Percy shouted as he fired two warning shots next to him as his cheek bled profusely. Thomas was crying and bleeding and Percy didn’t care at all. All Thomas saw before he passed out was a furious Percy looking him dead in the eyes with the same gun still pointed at him and a proud D10, putting his hand on Percy’s shoulder. When Thomas woke up, he was in a hospital room, with Henry and Edward next to him, worried beyond belief. Thomas looked slowly at Henry.

“W-What happened?” Thomas asked groggily.

“We don’t know, we found you in your shed with a horrible gash on your face and you were bleeding! A whole pool of blood was around your head!” Henry said, trying not to gag. Thomas remembered now, he was shot by his love. Percy shot him… Thomas started to cry. Edward saw this and held him.

“What happened Thomas?” He asked, wiping away Thomas’ tears. Thomas could only muster,

“Don’t worry Edward, I can handle this…” And as Thomas fell back asleep, he whispered,

“I’m going to get him back…”

Atalanta "Atta" the Rescue Diesel

Named after the greek heroine famous for her speed, Atalanta is one of the fastest diesels on Sodor. A skill that lands her a spot on the Sodor Search and Rescue team. Atalanta also serves as the diesel works' brakedown engine. While quick on her wheels Atalanta is actually a shy, reserved engine who loves to take slow rides by the seaside. She prefers being called Atta to make her name easier to pronounce for others (and the phrase "atta girl!")

Atta's story begins when she arrives to Sodor on loan from the mainland. Belle and Flynn also visit the island to test a pending rescue team due to Sodor's infamous reputation for accidents. Belle and Flynn gain respect for their work but Atta is overlooked for hers. She's also treated rather coldly by other steam engines. Saddened, Atta is discouraged and thinks of leaving but then she meets Percy, who is having his own friendship troubles.

One day, Atta goes to the dieselworks to get some parts repaired and is appalled by the condition. She learns that Diesel 10 is using it as a base and plots to get revenge on Thomas for his humiliation some years back. He attempts to seduce Atta but she says no and leave. Atta plans to talk to sir topham hatt (I'm american LEAVE ME ALONE) to convince him to fix the dieselworks, but her shyness holds her back. Over time she and Percy become friends. But then Diesel 10 launches his plans, taking over the Steamworks and several steam engine buildings. Atta and Percy are chased down but Atta proves too fast for her would-be captors. She escapes but Victor and Percy gets captured. The diesels send a message that if thomas doesn't present himself in the next hour then the hostages will get scrapped.

While Thomas rallies his friends and sympathetic diesels, Atta rushes to the S&R team and musters the courage to ask them for help. They manage to take back the steamworks, but angered Diesel 10 chase Thomas down. With percy and atta's help they lure him back to the diesel works and trap him. Diesel 10's henchmen are punished.

Atta asks Sir Topham to repair the dieselworks which he does. Impressed by her speed and compassion, Belle and Flynn offers her a spot on their team which she accepts. A month later the dieselworks is being rebuilt, Atta sports a new livery: green and red as a tribute to her new friendship with Percy.

Nowadays Atta can be found travelling the seaside in search of potential rescues. That is if you can catch her first!

Random Interesting Facts About Characters In The Main Story AU (A.K.A me pointing at the changes of movies in my AU)

Thomas And The Magic Railroad is canonically the first novel made for the TTTE franchise, but the engines were very upset because of how false it was in contrast to what actually happened. Edward should've been the main character, because he started the real life story in the first place. Him finding Lady in that old shed led to the investigation of the old railway she used to work in and why it disappeared so suddenly. There was no magic or big event even involved, time had simply caught up to them and that's what made his adventure so eventful. (Pointing at TATMR which is known as Edward And The Magic Railway, which takes a darker turn with the reality of life but the small metaphorical magic in it in this AU)

There was once a time where Diesels and Steamies had gone against each other, which was usually considered normal because it happens often but this time the stakes had gone higher. Many death threats and violence were involved, and not even Sir Topham Hatt knew about this. Percy didn't like diesels because most of the time they teased him and made fun of him, but not even his steam friends treated him any better. But with the help of Lady, Edward, BoCo, and Rusty, he created a third side which acted as a peaceful paradise to both sides. In the end, it was trashed over by a steam engine as he pretended to stand by Percy's side and planned to demolish all Diesels, including Mavis, Bear and Daisy. (Pointing at Day Of The Diesels/Calling All Engines, which takes a darker turn with violence between groups of different traits and why it's pointless and harmful)

Gordon became Sodor's first representative in the Great Race at the Great Railway Show against his brother, The Flying Scotsman, which sparked a lot of gossip and controversy because: 1, they didn't know Scotsman had a brother; 2, he was from Sodor and said country was very new to this event and was therefore underestimated and ; 3, he was also going against Spencer. Gordon couldn't help but feel upset that Spencer assumed that he wanted to go against Scotsman because he was jealous of his fame, but in reality he already grew out of that phase and he just hated how distant they grew after they first met and thought Scotsman valued his reputation more than his only family. He joined the race to get his attention. (Pointing at The Great Race, which becomes a Gordon centric movie about his family issues with Scotsman)

Oliver once went missing because he'd gone to the mainland to find a lost Toad who was currently kidnapped by Frankie and Hurricane. The Little Western first took notice and Douglas was the one who went out to find him, only to find danger on the way as there were certain engines who knew that he and Ollie were long-time stowaways (Pointing at Journey Beyond Sodor, which is now an Oliver centric movie about him turning back to his past with Douglas, and takes a darker turn with the theme of facing your fears and becoming a stronger person than you were before)

After a very malicious Mallard came to Sodor and started insulting everyone, next thing you know Henry and him are now racing to who knows where and he accidentally gets on the wrong track and meets a very old Japanese engine, Hiro. He empathizes with him because he knows what it feels like to be abandoned and forgotten for being dysfunctional and whatdaya know? It's first love at sight! Because he goes out of his way to fix him and hide him from the Fat Controller and Mallard at the same time. What a guy :> (Pointing at Hero Of The Rails, which turns into a Henry centric movie because both him and Hiro suffer from abandonment issues)

Thomas was sent to the Mainland for a simple task but his return to Sodor was greatly disrupted by an Australian car who started to drag him from country to country because of misinterpretations of the blue puffball on TV and simultaneously starts making friends with people across the world and keeps an unemployed Kenyan engine who watches his back (Pointing at the horrid Big World Big Adventures which is actually the movie that plays on the most craziest way to get lost)

SYCORAX IN: DAY OF THE DIESELS

i really want to hear about sycorax!!!

Oooh aight aight!

This one is my DOTD AU, because, as much as I like bringin' back ol' unhinged D10, this movie's got some major flaws, yet major potential, too. And look, Percy's got friends other than Thomas.

Enter Sycorax, a slightly-pretentious, dramatic, artistic, silly little Shakespeare fan of a BR Class 12 that lost their wheels in an accident and got tiny little narrow gauge Co-Co bogies slapped on 'em. They work on the UHR, which, is a whole can of worms to explain on its own.

The UHR, or the Ulfstead Heritage Railway, is an absurd little heritage railway going in and around Ulfstead, and is linked up to the Skarloey via a long, straight, boring line with one water column in the middle (until a Little Caesar's is installed, long story). Not to be confused with the Estate Railway, as this was built using Mid Sodor track, and is basically me taking that portion of rail shown in Toby's Discovery and adding to it.

(And It Was At This Point He Realized This Post Would Be Very Long, Because Now He's Recapping the WIP Because He Is Convinced He Won't Finish a Script Version After He Finishes This Outline-Thing)

Anyways. This one's about Sycorax, who I've decided has a few different levels of envy (the closest thing to engine gender envy and envy of his claw, mostly) when it comes to Diesel 10, yet, also an intrigue and a desire to meet him. With a claw like his, you could do a multitude of things Sycorax yearns to do, and most of that boils down to creative endeavors.

So, this is a tale with D10 written a bit closer to his personality in TATMR (campy ridiculousness yet being genuinely menacing), with some splashes of his DOTD tendencies in there (the scheming! the manipulativeness! I think TATMR Diesel 10 is very capable of this, but I'll tap into DOTD D10 a little more for this, too.) Also, Splatter and Dodge are 'Arry and Bert Headcanon Antics. Because once, a friend of mine came up with the HC that 'Arry and Bert are Splatter and Dodge because model reuse. (Diesel 10 gets to call them "Barry" now instead of "Splodge." Seems like they had a competence upgrade in general but they can get silly with it, too.) (While I'm at it, I gave Pinchy its semi-sentience back.)

Now onto the actual plot, it follows quite a few of the beats from DOTD except with less of the friendship envy and fire antics (at least in my planning, I need to set up how we get to the fire in the climax).

Diesel introduces Sycorax to Diesel 10 at the Dieselworks, which now have narrow gauge tracks for Plot Reasons, Sycorax finds themself in sheer admiration of Diesel 10's claw and Vibes and his appreciation for the arts (see: that sculpture Pinchy made in TATMR. I like thinking he has a comical amount of knowledge about art, specifically sculpture, and also, @sudriantraveler's "Diesel 10 is a theater nerd" concept is an absolute blast) and of course that makes them a good pawn for all this, in a slightly different flavor to Splodge Barry, because part of this is keeping Sycorax in the dark about how shitty this is gonna be.

So D10 gets Sycorax aboard, and it's time to go steal a crane from the Steamworks. Who better to get into theft, though, than She Who Pranks, aka Forsythia, Sycorax's fellow narrow gauge engine! (She's a steam engine, which, IMO, makes this even funnier.) Sycorax doesn't fancy themself a thief anyways, they think they'd suck at it. So they promise that their affiliate would be more than happy to do this. She is. But then she proceeds to ask her coach Nicolas and some trucks to give her a bump of a lifetime to send her to the Steamworks. This isn't what Sycorax planned, and they have to drag her to the Steamworks anyways. (She isn't too happy about this because she's getting separated from Nicolas for this, but she can handle it.)

Sycorax brings Kevin around, and they suggest the diesels perhaps postpone the raid of the Steamworks until nobody's going to be there, but Diesel 10 is willing to take hostages. He's already taking the building hostage, after all. Sycorax is opposed, but is coaxed into going with it. See indented excerpt.

When they return with their stolen crane companion, Sycorax explains, “Apologies that took so long, Diesel 10, but my… affiliate, she stupidly decided to get to the Steamworks via being sent there to have damage taken care of, and I was sent to bring her there. The good news is, though, that I have brought this crane. Very important. Didn’t… you say something about storming the Steamworks earlier? Can the operation even wait until she’s done?” “We’ll just have to storm the place with her in it.” “We’re going to… what, now? Truth being told, I never did ask why we’re trying to take the Steamworks… What’d they do to us?” “Have a crane,” Diesel 10 says. “Your brevity truly is the soul of wit,” Sycorax responds in a way that’s hard to read as genuine or sarcastic. “Not really. We’re using it as a bargaining chip. We give the hat guy his Steamworks and whoever's in there back, and we get our better Dieselworks.” “...hostages, Diesel 10?” “If you don’t like it, you should’ve backed out with the cranenapping!” “That was willing on all parties’ accounts, Diesel 10! We can’t just take unwilling hostages! Albeit, knowing Forsythia, she’d love to be there amidst a takeover, but what about everyone else that’s there?!” Diesel 10 is annoyed that they’re questioning him now. “We’ll deal with them later. We’ll make sure they’re taken care of.”

They lead the charge, and all hell breaks loose. Sycorax sits back and watches in realization that this is... not a good thing at all. Diesel 10, instead of joining in the mess, hangs back for a bit to try and manipulate Sycorax a bit more. It doesn't really pull through, and Sycorax just says they'll... catch up with the others in a moment. Diesel 10 begrudgingly leaves them to their devices, and we get the moment that really shakes things up for Sycorax.

Sycorax does stay put for a moment, watching Diesel 10 as he goes off on his own... only to watch him start ripping things up with his claw. Sycorax realizes his claw is a claw of destruction and not creation, and after a lovely little monologue, they declare that they won't let this become a tragedy, and they go to think about how to right their wrongs.

But we get a cut to the absolute CHAOS happening down at the Steamworks. Forsythia got put into a crane and is just swinging around and spinning. This is the best hostage situation she's ever experienced. Someone explained what was going on to her and she just embraced it, as one does.

Enter Wesley, who is literally just a steam engine here to bring some stuff over really quickly. He observes the chaos, isn't sure what's going on, and needs to figure out where to put this stuff, so he manages to muster up a loud, almost commanding "HELLO THERE!"

Everyone looks at him like this:

At least, they do until Syth swings down asking what Wes is doing here, explains the situation very casually (much to Wesley's bewilderment), and assures the others that he'll comply with the hostage situation nonsense. Everyone goes back to their business, and Wesley decides if he's going to be stuck here he may as well find someone to have a good conversation with. See indented excerpt.

“Cousin Wesley! Fancy meeting you here! Have you come to join the party?” “What party?” Wesley asks. “Oh, you know, the diesel takeover of the Steamworks!” “The… the WHAT?!” “Yeah, uh, now that you’re here, you can’t really leave, but, I’m sure it’s fine, because this has been the most fun hostage situation of my life.” "You know this guy, Forsythia?" a diesel asks. "Yeah, yeah, he'll comply with staying around for a while, I'm sure. The party's back on, everyone! Wooo!" She swings off and the chaos starts again. "Well, darn. Guess it's time to try and have a good conversation with… someone who makes alright conversation." Then it cuts.

Meanwhile Sycorax is still pondering how to fix this, so far from their own railway.

...and when we cut back to the Steamworks, Wesley and Paxton are having a nice casual chat about that time Wesley ran into some geese, before it's revealed his crew went to get the Fat Controller. Aw shit. Cue the model era theme!

He puts a stop to this nonsense, explains there were already renovation plans for the Dieselworks, 'Arry and Bert make some comments about how that kinda throws things for a loop (in classic Splatter and Dodge dialogue fashion) before D10 tells them to shut up, and he explains that there's just been a misunderstanding, and then Syth busts in with a "oh, so that's why you sent Sycorax to steal who then sent me to steal?" from above, much to TFC's utter confusion.

"Shut it, you two," Diesel 10 mutters before clearing his lack of throat and focusing on TFC again. "Then, clearly, there's been some misunderstanding here, I assure you. We don't even have a working crane back at the Dieselworks, we thought action was necessary." "Oh, so that's why you sent Sycorax who then proceeded to ask me for help stealing a crane?" Forsythia says, dangling from the 'bove. "Forsythia? Whatever are you doing up there?" the Fat Controller asks. "Having a good time, Sir, but that aside, Diesel 10 said he'd keep anyone who entered here by chance or was already here hostage as a bargaining point, so the diesels ensured I was safely within this. Luckily for me, this thing is VERY fun to swing around in. I'm… not going to get into too much trouble for this, am I?" "How come we never put the other one in a crane, then?" a diesel just offhandedly asked. "You guys were way too distracted by your shenanigans. Rookie mistake," Forsythia tutted.

TFC gets everyone back on topic, saying that he needs any accurate accounts he can get out of Forsythia and Wesley, he needs Diesel 10 to go bring back Kevin, and he needs everyone else to start cleaning up this disaster. But D10 ain't fond of that.

Diesel 10 approaches the Fat Controller with his claw. Snapping and snapping and spanning at Sir Topham, but he stands his ground. Pinchy keeps snapping, closer and closer until… it draws back. "Pinchy. Pinchy, buddy, you can't be doing this now. Why are you acting like you don't wanna do this?" Pinchy makes a gesture akin to shaking one's head and cowering back. "Pinchy." Then Pinchy hits Diesel 10. "I HATE IT WHEN YOU DO THAT!" Sir Topham gets himself out of harm's way in case Diesel 10 manages to get Pinchy to listen, but it’s more “out of range” rather than “backing away,” y’know? "Diesel 10. I need you to bring back the crane,” he says. "You want your dinky little crane back? Fine. I’ll give it back." He goes outside.

Cue Diesel 10 getting even more menacing.

We cut back to Diesel 10 heading to the Dieselworks. "Pinchy, I get it. Maybe you just need to warm up a bit before getting messy. And I know just the way to prove our point." As it's starting to turn out, it was never about the Dieselworks. It was about Diesel 10 wanting to abuse his power over others. "We'll let them have their crane back alive, or in pieces. Then they'll listen."

Leave a violent diesel and a clumsy crane in a place with flammable materials, and what do you get?

A fire, of course. Never quite sorted out how exactly it happens, but it does.

Sycorax sees the fire, startled. "Rails below and sky above… that's not normal engine smoke, is it? It's a lot bigger! There's a fire!" They and their crew kick it into high gear. Their aim is to see if they can do anything about it and then get help. Sycorax sees Kevin just staring at the fire in horror and snaps him out of it with a, "Kevin, what are you doing? You need to get out of here!" "Diesel 10's trapped! He was trying to get me with his claw, but then he started a fire!" Kevin exclaims. “There’s not much we can do except call for some firefighters. Come on, Sycorax, we must hurry," their Driver says. "There’s something else we can do!” Sycorax exclaims. "Kevin, go get help! Driver, there's a fire extinguisher in the building! If it's safe to get it, we can get Diesel 10 out even quicker!” And luckily for everyone involved, they can get to it because the fire hadn't spread to the front yet. The two rush into action, putting out enough fire to get to Diesel 10. Having realized there’s two tracks here, Sycorax’s driver has gotten a cable to tie these two together for a bit so Sycorax can pull him out of there in case he can’t move himself. He could’ve probably but… proactivity. "Sycorax?! Are you stupid? There’s a FIRE. What are you doing?" "Helping you. Kevin's getting the firefighters." "And you didn't just leave me for them to save?" "Every second counts in an emergency like this, that's why it's important to get out of it as soon as possible! You're lucky I even remembered the fire extinguisher that’s inside! Now hurry!” The two get out, and the fire crew of Belle and Flynn arrive. The two stay out of the way.

And then we get the final bit from this WIP, one I'm especially fond of.

“Thanks for getting me out of there, I guess,” Diesel 10 ends up saying. How are you supposed to react to someone saving your life? Nobody does that. Especially not when you're Diesel 10. “Let this be a lesson to you, Diesel 10. Your ambition could have been your downfall. I know this fire was your doing, and, goodness, you even tried to bring harm to Kevin! ‘Tis ironic that I found myself saving you after I had renounced this entire thing and wished to make things right, but that doesn’t change the fact that my opinion of you has changed drastically." We get a shot of Diesel 10's expression. This situation is clearly some sort of uncomfortable for him. "...and I shall let this be a lesson to myself, too," Sycorax adds. "'Tis not wrong to admire another's traits, but to idolize someone else without knowing their character? That would be my true folly, had I not realized it any sooner. They say never to meet your heroes, Diesel 10. I think I know why." "You speak like you came outta the sixteenth century," Diesel 10 complains, because cracking one-liners whenever shit goes wrong is kind of his thing. Sycorax half-laughs.

There's some Sycorax dialogue here and there in this WIP I'd like to improve, because they're a wonderful character that's in constant flux between using whatever's up-to-date in terms of words and random older terminology. I could definitely see them slipping into a "tis" and "thou" sort of mood during all of this, though, makes sense when you're getting morally contemplative.

So, yeah, that's Si:DoTD.
