Vlad, meanwhile, got word of this, from his spies that had listened in on those conversations...
"What do we do now Boss Vlad?" asked Karl
"Well it seems my distractions did not get to Sir Topham Hatt in time, well, before they get here, we have to destroy the evidence, you see this busted track that leads to the smelting pot, start shunting trucks into it, and have the cranes start dumping the oil barrels in some as well, we don't have time before they find us!" shouted Vlad as the revolutionaries got to work, except for Billy who was doing his own thing for some reason...
The trucks were pushed into the pot, melting down the trucks and making the liquid hotter with the added fuel, and the tankers were connected to hoses to dump the oil in as well...
"Um... Boss Vlad, it's getting hotter in here..." said Marx
"I think my wheels are melting..." added Dennis
"That's right!" said Ferdinand
"Shut it Ferdinand! We don't have time! We have to get rid of this and send some 'lambs' to hide what we couldn't melt!" shouted a frustrated Vlad
"Alright, what ever you say boss..." answered a worried Karl
"Soon most of it was stolen, but some of it was still remaining...
"alright, bash Dash, and Ferdinand, I need you three to take what's remaining to the search parties, say it's fresh from the Mainland or something, than our group will be safe until we think of another plan..." said Vlad
"That's Ri..." said Ferdinand before he was interrupted by Vlad
"If you finish that sentence you'll be joining the dumped fuel in the Smelter's Pot, now get going and take the fuel to the search parties!" shouted Vlad as the trio left the Smelter's Yard
"Boss Vlad, won't they blame the incident on those three, so we'll those valuable assets to our revolution?" asked Karl
"Well those three, from what I hear, are not that liked by most on the Railway, so they'll believe they're responsible, since they can run on coal, oil, or wood, and will be blamed, probably banished to Misty Island or something ,and our Revolution we'll get to fight another day... Plus, I didn't really like them anyway either, along with a certain, 'someone else'..." replied Vlad, motioned to Billy...
.....
Soon Bash, Dash, and Ferdinand, pulling the missing fuel, soon found the search parties...
"Hey guys we just got this fuel from the Mainland and..." but before Bash and Bash could finish, James shouted, " they're the culprits! Get them!"
The fuel was soon uncoupled from the trio, and were buffered up and shunted all the way to the Sodor Search and Rescue center, where the third were shunted through the Misty Island Tunnel all the way back to Misty Island. Once they broke into the familiar weirdly American-looking, British Isle, the engines who shunted the trio, backpedaled all the way to Sodor, where dynamite had been found, courtesy of the Blue Mountain Quarry, and the tunnel entrance was soon blown up, trapping the three back on Misty Island, probably forever...
'Well they're dealed with... Anyone up for a wash down?" asked James in triumph
"Hold up James, those three aren't smart enough to do something like this..." said Edward
"Edward's right, I think we're dealing with someone more... dangerous..." replied Toby
"Well it's certainly not Diesel 10..." said Diesel 6, who happened to be there due to the current location...
.....
On the Mainland, sir Topham Hatt was making a phone call...
"Yes send over as much coal and oil as possible, right now, I have to get to the bottom of this situation soon, or it could be the end of my Railway as I know of it..." said Sir Tophamm Hatt as he said goodbye then hung up the phone...
"Now where to start..."
Meanwhile...

Hatt's still kidnapped... but let's just say he got free somehow, or this will go on forever.
Percy Silver continued poking around the Smelter's Yard, lookin for the Cursed Tapestry. Suddenly, he saw...

(Sorry, Wrote that while you typed the part about Hatt being kidnapped)
A rag with an oil stain that looked like a horse...
"Dang it!" he said frustrated
"Well this is going to take forever..." deadpanned Hornby James
Just then...

Percy Silver was tired of feeling hot.
"I need to cool down" and suddenly Percy Silver cast an ice spell. But his utter incompetence made him once again encase himself in ice.
"Oh dear" Horby James muttered.

Hornby James used MLG LASER SCIENCE to free Percy Silver, and they kept looking, until Karl and Marx crept in.
"Hey, let's ask them!" PS said.
"Bad idea..." HJ said, but PS didn't listen.
(Because typing "Percy Silver" and "Hornby James" over and over and over and over wastes time)

"Excuse me kind engines, can you help me?" Percy Silver asked.
The two engines looked at each other and grinned "sure; we can help you" Karl said
"All you have to do, is tell us... the Tale of Tail!" Marx added.
"Really? That again?" Hornby James asked.
"Well, everyone around this island seems to ask for it at some point as a requirement for some arbitrary task, so might as well" Karl explained.
"Don't worry though, we won't ask for the Gift of Carrot this time" Marx added.
"This will be easy! my mommy used to tell me this story every night before bed!" Percy Silver said.
......
In the Writer's room, the writers collectively gasped... the writer was about to reveal the ever elusive Tale of Tail to them
......
And Percy Silver began.
"Once upon a time, long, long ago there was a...

Thirteen minutes later, Percy Silver concluded the Tale of Tail.
"What a story! And the implications to the future of 3WSR are simply astounding!" Marx said.
"Pity it wasn't on camera. I'm sure the readers would have loved it." Karl added. "What do you need help with?"
So Percy Silver explained his quest to them.

BUT! Before Percy Silver could utter the rest of this elusive story, a wrench fell onto his head, knocking him out cold...
"Great... now we'll never find this damn tapestry!: Hornby James shouted in anger
"Actually, Boss Vlad did find it and was going to use it for our revolution, but heard tale of a Numbered Diesel who became king with his wish, ut kept getting overthrown and had his wish revoked..." replied Karl
"What? How did you learn of that?" asked Hornby James
"The tapestry told us, and if you want to know where it is, it's in a warehouse in the abandoned munitions district from the war years..." replied Marx
"Well at least we finally have a lead, when he wakes up we'll head straight there then..." replied Hornby James as Karl and Marx rolled away as Hornby James peoceeded to wake fro the Percy Silver to wake up...
Meanwhile...

No.
Meanwhile, Percy Silver and Hornby James proceeded to the warehouse.
"Why are we doing this again?" Percy Silver asked.
"The ghost that's been teaching you how to be good wants to make a wish."
"A wish for what?"
"Probably to be resurrected."
"Who was she before she died?"
"It's not hard to guess if you read through the original thread. She accidentally died when she blew something up in an experiment involving a prism, and has been trying to resurrect herself so she can warn the Colorfolk of something. Don't tell her I told you."
"Okay... but why couldn't she just find it herself?"
"Because you're funny, and she isn't."
"...true."
Anyway...

Back with the past arc, mainly to wrap it up so we can move on, the Colormen and Women had located and surrounded the Bronze Mage, in silence.
"We've got him; there's five minutes till his powers return, so it's now or never!" Man in white explained.
"What do we do? Killing him may result in him becoming a spirit that will haunt other externally" Woman in silver explained.
"I know, why don't we..." And man in Red suggested a plan.
The Bronze Mage was just about to stand up when suddenly, many beams of power from all directions came at hm and struck him.
"Gah!!! What the?!" And to his horror, his body began turning to stone.
In a matter of minutes. A stone statue stood where the Bronze Mage once was. Several Colorfolk approached.
"What now?" Woman in Pink asked.
"This" man in blue said. He went up to the statue and cast a charm over it. "I have now enchanted the Mage; now, only a creature that is neither man nor beast can free him." He explained.
"What?!" The others said in shock, save a few.
"Why would you even cast that?" Some said.
"Does such a creature even exist?" Asked others.
"Exactly" man in blue explained. "Without this charm, any of his allies could locate him and release him. But now with this charm, only a creature that is neither man nor beast can release him, which cannot possibly exist. Therefore, he will never live again"
Everyone suddenly realized the brilliance of what had happened.
"Now then, time for the staff to be claimed by its true owner" man in bronze said.
"Not this time, I'm afraid" man in gold said, pointing to the black ooze that seemed to be seeping from it. "It has been contaminated by pure evil; we must render it safe before even attempting to go near it." So Sind Colormen petrified the staff, to allow it to become "whole" again.
"Regretfully, it will take years to return to normal; you must return then" man in silver explained.
"Ok" man in bronze said sadly.
"There is nothing more to do here; come, let us show you the Great Hall of the Colornen; it is where the Prism shall stay safe." And the Colormen led the Colorwomen to their base.
.......
"And that is how the Colormen and women came to be at peace" The Colorwoman from earlier explained.
"Are you sure that is what happened? Is sounds rather... Simple, actually. I mean, a cubic (wink) no doubt freed him at some point, but what else happened.
"We are not sure; few of our diaries from that time survive, and only tell s partial picture.
"I might have an idea" Man in blue said.
Later in the archives, he found the diary of Simon Erdsgovern, and the day of the Mage turning to stone.
"Well grandfather Simon, let's see what you had to say". Man in blue said as he began reading.

But who freed the Bronze Mage? Neither man or beast... obviously it must have been an engine! Let's go to Page 347 and find out!
......
PAGE 347:
The Bronze Mage had been a stone for a long time...

(Actually, I purposely left questions unanswered because I'm setting up for a return to the past one day. Obviously he does return to normal- and it's actually a cubist that frees him. But we will tell that story another time)

Ah, I see. Before we return to the story, out of curiosity, we did you dislike Toz's post?

The dislike button doesn't notify the person, so I'll bet Toz never even saw it...

Oh, I saw it all right... it's fine though, I've done the same before. DIABLO TOWER The Bronze Mage was pleased. COTHO had successfully recruited hundreds of thousands to VEC's cause. Inter-dimensional panphoton triplacement and digluon bonding both suggested the arrival of the GHB would be sooner than expected. And McDonald's hadn't messed up his order this time. Perhaps the inside-out corpses of the kitchen staff he'd nailed to the drive-thru menus had inspired greater competency. BM liked to do his part. Suddenly, Killerman burst into BM's office. "Sir, Percy Silver was spotted heading for the abandoned munitions plant!" "Finally, the one thing we need for perfection. Bring him in. Send in our funniest fighters if he tries to put up a fight. He's no threat, and the comedy squad needs something to do." "What if he experienced character development? He'd make short work of the comedy team, given the whole Silvestron thing." "He's desperately needed comic relief! The last thing the writers would do is give him character development!" Or would we? Let's find out, as Percy Silver reaches the munitions plant...

"I don't get it; we are at the munitions plant, but I do not see any green foliage anywhere" Percy Silver said, confused.
"It's not THAT kind of plant!" Hornby James fumed.

"Now let's find that tapestry already!"
So Percy Silver began looking around for it.

"This place is pretty big; I hope you know what you are doing" Hornby James warned.
"Well, everything here seems to be metal, so if we can find a piece of cloth with a mythical creature on it I'm sure it will stand out" Percy Silver explained.
"That's... Actually quite rational" a shocked Hornby James said.
