Meanwhile the Man in Steel approached the Man in Blue, who was currently helping evacuate fallen Colorfolk...
"Daniel, I'll charge in with the ones who still want to fight, if we let up now,who knows how much of Sodor they could take over..." said the Man in Steel
"Alright, we'll fall back and I'll leave them in your hands for now..." responded Man in Blue left with the injured Colorfolk and the others carrying them back to their base camp, the Great Hall...
When Man in Blue got there, he found the Man in White in a room filled with maps and boards with areas controlled by VEC and areas controlled by the Colorfolk...
"So what's the status?" asked Man in Blue
"Well the entire West Coast of Sodor has been taken over by VEC..." answered Man in White
"How did that happen?"
"Well..."
Meanwhile, VEC had created a base at Brendam Docks...
"So why are we held up here again?" asked Waka Tuka
"Because Ocean Man said he could gather an army of sea mammals if we had access to the sea..." replied The General
"So where is Ocean Man?" asked Silent Night
"Umm... Anyways any updates on the weather Lightning Man?" said the General to get everyone off topic...
"I'm not a weatherman just because I control weather, but from the change in wind I can tell a tidal wave is coming..." responded Lightning Man
"How could you tell?" asked everyone there
"A storm's brewin' and the lightning forming in it speaks to me... That's all I can really say..." Lightning Man replied
"Alright, I have a plan... If we could somehow encase that wave and use it as either a weapon or power source, we could definitely beat the Colormen..." said the General
"Ok..."
But hiding in a few feet away, Man in Black and Man in Amber Apricot were listening in...
"Alright, we'll report back to Steel, he'll know what to do since he's in charge for right now..." said the Man in Black
"Alright, but how could we beat a wave?" asked the Man in Amber Apricot as the duo returned to the Ice User...
Meanwhile, Ocean Man...

Was in a desert, to recap he was teleported there by bright turquoise.
Lightning man was having problems. "Captain Dynamo and I can't get these rubber suits off us; our electricity is useless" he told them.
Waka Tuka stood there silent.
"Wait a minute... Waka Tuka was captured." Silent night said.
"Then who are you?" Asked another member.
Suddenly, man in Sepia revealed himself. "Surprise!"
He petrified (in this context, meaning turned to stone) The General, Lightning Man, and Knittwitt before running off and disappearing.
"Darn it!" Shouted Silent night, ironically.
"Better tell base that one of the three battlefield commanders is down for the count" another said.
Meanwhile, Man in Black and man in Amber apricot reported their findings to Man in Steel.
(sorry, just wanted to clarify- normally, yes, petrifaction would require several Colormen to do. However , man in sepia's artifact allows him to do such spells solo, since his artifact exponentially increases his power and skill. However, only he is capable of solo petrification and only when his artifact his activated)

"It seems VEC wants to harness a tidal wave that's due to hit Sodor soon..." said Man in Black
"Alright I have a way they won't except to get to that wave and they definitely won't expect it, so while I make the call, you two gather some other Colormen, and meet me back here..." responded the Man in Steel
"Right!" the duo replied as they left to gather some more allies...
Back at the Docks, as Man in Sepia was celebrating his victory over 3 members of VEC until he was knocked unconscious by a blow to the back of the head by a familiar Alchemist...
"Hohenheim, why are you here?" asked Phazer
"Bronze asked me to come here and guard the General since he is an important strategist to our operation, but I see he's already fallen to a Colorman..." Hohenheim said as he poured a strange liquid over the 3 petrified men, suddenly making them return to normal...
"How did you do that?" asked the now returned to normal Lightning Man
"I am an Alchemist after all, ever since I lost the Philosopher's stone, I've had to return to using my old fighting techniques, like my hand-to-hand combat and Artifact, and these liquids I created with the help of the power I still have within me, so they can cancel out magic used by the likes of the Colormen..." responded the Blood Alchemist
"Oh... Well anyway, let's get ready to capture that wave..." said the General as the members got ready to depart to the sea...
"But first someone take this Colorman to the Mage, he might like having a prisoner..." said the General remembering the unconscious Colorman as Phazer took Man in Sepia to the undisclosed location of other big name members of VEC...
"Hey get the suits off of us too" shouted Captain Dynamo and Lightning Man
"Alright..."said Hohenheim nonchalantly as he tore the rubber suits off the two as everyone else quietly reflected off the strength of one of the heads of VEC...
Back at the Great Hall, Man in White was explaining how VEC had taken over the entire West Coast of Sodor...
"They did what?" asked the Man in Blue
Man in White responded, "Well..."

"They're having trouble holding it, but for now the west coast of Sodor is under their control" Man In White explained.
Man In Silver Came Running in. "The charm is ready; your helmet's power should now be able to resume working again. But be warned; you won't have a constant stream of information like you normally do; you'll only be able to see for about 8-10 seconds before we have to reset the counter-countercharm again"
"Good; make sure the Colormen working on this task maintain their focus; counter-countermagic charms can be tricky" Man In White said as the great tactician went back to the maps.
Phazer brought Man In Sepia to the Bronze Mage.
"I have brought the captured Colorman" he said to the leader. But Bronze Mage immediately saw something was wrong.
"Wait... if he was unconscious, he would have returned to his default state. So why is his artifact still activated?"
"Perhaps the Man In Sepia is just that powerful?" Phazer said.
"Indeed; it is a worthy catch. Wake him so he may be interrogated" Bronze Mage said.
But to their shock, Man In Sepia's eyes shot wide open, and he smirked "another perfect plan."
A powerful energy blast sent everyone flying back from Man In Sepia... except the Bronze Mage, who found his legs below his knees trapped in solid rock.
"What? How?" He asked.
"Did you honestly think I would just celebrate my victory like that when the battle wasn't even over? It was risky, sure, but I knew that if I caught your attention, you'd direct one of your top guys to capture me and bring me straight to you." Man In Sepia said as he approached the Bronze Mage. He then took strange looking cuffs out of his pocket and placed them on the Bronze Mage's wrists.
"No... it can't be..."
"That's right; it's vallerium. And lucky you, that's our last usable pair until we can get more forged. Well, I'd better go; I may have no idea where I am, but at least one person knows where I am."
Man In Sepia ran a few yards, before a portal opened up courtesy of Bright Turquoise. He disappeared as the portal closed behind him.
But the Colormen still had problems; they were having trouble liberating the West Coast, and when a Colorperson was healed and sent back out to battle, not even two minutes passed before another came in to take his or her place. Wounded rates stood at about 38% for the Colorfolk as a whole, but the battle was now tipping in the Colorfolk's favor.
Meanwhile, Man In Steel was leading a group of Colormen to a certain location. The VEC wasn't letting up, but the battle had reached a turning point.

"Here we are... Tug is everything ready?" the Man in Steel shouted
"Yeah give me a second, I just got to get him steaming..." Tug replied
"Thanks for doing me this favor, I really owe you one..." said Steel
"You're my friend, and besides, with the past we have, I can't not give you a favor now and then..." Tug responded as the giant doors in front of the group of Colormen opened, and a Steam Engine with a reverse cowcatcher pulled up in front of them...
"What is that?" asked Man in Black
"It's a Sea Train, his name is Paulie..." Tug replied
"Yo" said Paulie
"What do you mean Sea Train?" asked Man in Amber Apricot
"You're see soon enough, everyone get in the coach, sorry there's only one, I'm still building the rest... Steel come up in the front with me, I'll need your help with the stormy weather..." said Tug as the Colormen piled into the coach with the exception of Steel
The group departed on Paulie as they headed to a special track near the harbor...
Meanwhile...

...the Numbered Diesels had sneaked out of the shed...

Post by frankthetriviaman on Feb 1, 2016 20:24:22 GMT -5
...a while ago, and some had begun to help out.
Diesel 6 was traveling along the rails when suddenly he noticed some of Inferno's flame demons.
"This ought to stop them" he said as he aimed his foam cannon. due to his limited vision though, he could only aim at and see what was directly ahead of him, and he only had the foam canisters that were in place; in his haste he had forgotten to take aboard his team that worked with him

The Bronze Mage finally got the cuffs off, but he was pissed.
"No more prisoners! If you see a colorperson, kill on sight!"
"Yes sir!"
Bronze began summoning his army. During his time in the Oëther Dimension, he'd recruited some powerful alies. Millions of small, dog-like creatures in bronze armor began materializing.
"Kobolds... attack!"
"Kobolds? What?"
"Viv's army is tough, but we need numbers to defeat the Colorfolk."
"Fair enough."

Diesel 6 gulped."Oh dear," he thought. " Oh well..." And he randomly aimed, fired, and...

He began taking care of the demons that he could see; they dissipated rather quickly.
The other numbered diesels... surprisingly, couldn't do much. (mainly because I can't think of anything they could do; anyone else have ideas?)
Another battle began... this front in cyberspace.
Man In Cyber Yellow and Man In Cyber Grape had physically manifested inside the internet. They had just finished uploading a virus.
"This ought to get their attention." Cyber Yellow said.
Suddenly, Digitoid began shaking violently and talking in mumbled gibberish.
"Now for #8315A" Cyber Grape said as Cyber Yellow nodded in agreement.

"Good thing I have a top-of-the-line firewall!"
The cybercolors found themselves in an encrypted email in China.
"Crap! Now we're stuck here!"

"No we're not; it's going to take a lot more than that to stop us" said his companion.
They began to work on getting out; it was tough, but we assure you they get home towards the end of the battle.
Bronze Mage was getting looked at by sickoia; even though he was out of the cuffs, the vallerium effects still lingered; it takes a while before returning to full power
"You seem to currently be at about... 1/3 of your normal power potential" she began. "There's a reason us magic types only deal with vallerium in extreme circumstances" she continued.
"Though we're talking about you; so I presume that is still pretty powerful?" She asked

"I summoned those Kobolds, didn't I? I could summon a dragon if I wanted to right now... but I'd probably throw up."
"Very well. Let's put the Blood Alchemist and Chessmaster in charge until you recover."
"If we still hold the west coast, I want max destruction. Destroy buildings, rip up the roads! And also: send in ROBOT CHARLIE 2.0."
"Are you sure?"
"There's nothing on the west coast we need, and it'll send a clear message."
Meanwhile, the corpses had arrived. Priori was grinning sinisterly.

"Let's see you too that Colorfolk!" She screamed.
However,for the Colormen reinforcements of their own were about to arrive.
As many lay injured, and with the battle neck and neck, there was suddenly a great miracle.
As the sun rose on another day, upon the battlefield, there was suddenly a bright glow.
Both sides could not help but stop fighting; what was this mysterious event taking place? As the glow grew brighter, suddenly the field had turned into the world's largest rainbow. Manifested before both sides, there now stood an army many thousands in size. The Colormen of the past had returned to defend Sodor's one more time.
Man in Blue approached some all too familiar faces.
"Grandfather Matthew? Grandfather Elias? Grandfather Alistar? Grandfather Thomas? Grandfather Richard? And the rest? I don't believe it! But, why?"
"We all swore the same oath Daniel" Alistair Erdagovern explained.
"We will protect Sodor in its darkest hours" Thomas Erdagovern said.
"Naturally, we can't stay long; but we can stick around long enough to force the VEC into defeat" Lucas Erdagovern said.
"Two undead armies about to clash; sounds like something out of a cheesy 80s movie" Man In Blue quipped.
The battle had reached its tipping point; the two armies began to clash, as the Colormen bravely charged in to stop the undead army.
From where the Bronze Mage was, a lower ranking member came up to him.
"Sir; you are not going to believe this" he said to the Mage.
(yes; I know this is cheesy; but I wanted to set up for a big finale to this battle, and this was the only thing I could think of. The battle is going to go on a while longer, but this is where the "tipping point" begins. What will happen next? There are many possible answers; we will have to wait and see)

"Oh dear." Bronze Mage began summoning more Kobolds.
On the battlefield, Hohenheim had a cunning plan to defeat the ancestors...

As he began formulating it, the ancestors had already taken action; finally, the Colorfolk were able to start taking back the land the VEC had taken.
It was slow and steady, but the kobloids could only do so much. It was one heck of a fight though; one for the record books.
Meanwhile, tug and the others had reached where they needed to be.

"We're almost there, the sea is not too far away..." said Tug to Steel
"So tell me why we're taking a train even though we're going after a tidal wave?" asked Man in Steel
"We're here just watch..." said Tug as Paulie was nearing the end out a dock...
"Hey, we're going to sink in the sea in this metal heap!" shouted Man in Steel as he noticed Paulie's speed picked up...
"I take offense to that!" shouted Paulie
"Trust me Steel, and see my ingenuity skills at their finest..." replied Tug
Just then, Paulie raced into the sea and somehow was floating above the water...
"How? Wait What?"" asked Steel
"Their are floating tracks hidden by the waves, and the reverse cowcatcher helps push through that water, plus with paddle wheels, it's basically a faster boat when on these rails, or else Paulie would sink like a regular engine his size..." responded Tug
"Alright, but now I got to prep for stopping that wave to keep VEC from capturing it..." said Steel
"How, it's a tidal wave..." said Tug
"I'm going to smash it..."
Meanwhile, at Brendam Docks, the Blood Alchemist was leading the VEC members with him to find a boat to capture the wave...
"This one looks good..." said Captain Dynamo
"No this one will work better..." said Lighting Man
"This is the biggest, so it will work great for our needs..." said Kniitwiit
"No you idiots... This is the best..." said Eddie Denim
"Do any of you idiots know how to sail a ship?" asked Lock-On John
"Um..."
"I'll take that as a no..." said Lock-On John as Hohenheim and the General facepalmed while Silent Night commented, "Men.."
"So how will we get to that wave now?" asked Lightning Man, but before anyone could answer him every member of VEC on the pier stood shocked at the sight they saw coming from the sea...
They saw Ocean man riding a pod of Dolphins jumping in and out of the water, heading towards them...
"Where the hell have you been?" shouted Captain Dynamo
"Well I've been on an awesome adventure where I found Atlantis, became the ruler of a third world country, got a girlfriend, beat the crap out of Poseidon, and befriended psychically talking dolphins..." replied Ocean Man
"Greetings Humans..." said the Dolphin Ocean Man was riding
"When did this happen?" asked Eddie Denim
"Well it all started when I was teleported to the desert..." was all Ocean Man could say before he was interuppted by the Blood Alchemist...
"Nevermind your crazy adventure, we need to get to a tidal wave to harness it's destructive power, we could use it to end this battle in one full swoop, do you think these dolphins could tow a boat taking us to it?"
"I don't know... They saw they only do heavy lifting on Thursdays, and last time I checked it was Wednesday..." replied Ocean Man
"Holy Horned One, you've been gone for three weeks, it's Thursday today!!" shouted Hohenheim in frustration
"Oh... Okay then, chose a boat, throw me a line, and I'll get right to work!" yelled Ocean Man in response
"Yes, soon VEC will have a victory over those blasted Colorfolk for once, I wonder how Vivian is doing... Nevermind... Men and Silent Night... Let's go mess with Mother Nature!" shouted Hohenheim
"Everyone else replied, "Yeah!"
While Ocean Man was attaching the Dolphins to the boat the Blood Alchemist chose, the Bronze Mage was...

Recovering from the vallerium exposure; though still able to summon; he knew it would be in his best interest to wait it out for now, then come back at full power.
"I can feel my power returning; but why does it take so long?" He grumbled.
On the sea train, one of the people on board was looking through binoculars
"We have visual; the tidal wave is in visual range!" He called out to the others.
They were surprised; it was quite a way's off, but it's size made it visible from where they were
"Keep going; it's not much farther!" Called Steel.

"Hey what's that over there?" cried Man in Black
"Are those Dolphins?" asked Man in Amber Apricot
On VEC's boat, they were having similar reactions...
"Is that a train... Running on top of water?" asked Kniitwiit
"Hohenheim I see someone on the roof..." said Lock-On John
"Who is it?" asked the Blood Alchemist
"Just look for yourself.." said Lock-On John as he handed Hohenheim his scope...
"Hikos..." said the Blood Alchemist, "Change of plans... Ocean Man get closer to that train, there's Colormen likely aboard and where their headed means they want to stop our plans..."
"But they're heading straight for the wave, and a storm is brewing around it... Our boat might not be able to handle it..." said Lightning Man
"Nevermind the weather, we'll trundle on.., For the Horned One!" shouted Hohenheim...
"Yeah!" replied the rest of the VEC members present...
(If you're wondering where I'm going with this guys, I'm thinking of having a huge battle out in the sea during the storm atop the train and VEC's boat similar to the finale of POTC 3 if you've ever seen it as an example...)
Meanwhile...

(Someone needs to write Ocean Man's adventure. ) Meanwhile, Man In Pink, Woman In Pink, and Man In Bronze were executing a daring plan. "We all have a personal grudge against the Bronze Mage, so we're the obvious choice for this mission." "Who are you talking to, Man In Pink?" "Eh... Gawdry." Awdry wold have turned over in his grave, but Priori was controlling his corpse. "So, go in, kill my ancestor, get out?" "No, first we'll make him break the curses he put on you." (REMINDER: Bronze Mage cursed his defendants to always have miserable lives and die young, and he cast a "extreme hypnosis spell" on Woman In Pink, so she has to wear special glasses or get controlled by BM) "Then let's get in there before the Valleruim wears off!"
