SAGA ONE: DIESEL TEN’S REIGN
It was a hot day on the Island Of Sodor. The AC was broken, and all the engines at Tidmouth Sheds were complaining.
“It’s too hot!” James moaned. “My paint will begin to run!”
“I can’t pull the express on a day like this! It’s inlocomotivee!” Gordon boomed.
“Did you just try to say “inhumane” but with “locomotive” instead of “human”?” Edward asked.
Sir Topham Hatt arrived with good news.
“I’ve sent Thomas to find some supplies to fix the AC. Soon you’ll all be able to cool off.”
Elsewhere, Thomas was chuffing and huffing when he passed Diesel 10. He was running light engine on the main line.
“Hey Diesel! Shouldn’t you be pulling something?”
“I don’t need a load! I’m Diesel 10!” The oily menace sneered.
Suddenly, Diesel 10 realized he was going too fast down a hill. A signalman diverted him into a siding, but…
CRASH!
Diesel 10 found himself in an old garden shed.
The shed was full of cobwebs and hadn’t been entered in some time. On the far wall, however, there was a beautiful ancient tapestry, clearly untouched by the grime. It was beautifully embroidered, and depicted a snow-white unicorn on a red background with shining yellow eyes. Diesel 10 was surprised to hear the unicorn speak.
“You have found me after years of isolation. In gratitude, I grant you one wish. Choose wisely.”
Diesel 10 thought for a minute, then said…
“I wish for total domination of the Island Of Sodor.”
The unicorn’s eyes flickered. “I can grant that wish, but you must be made aware that there is one engine who can stop you. The engine Henry. To grant your wish, I must send him away to a pocket dimension so he can never topple your reign.”
Diesel 10 shrugged. “Fair enough.”
And so it was done. Diesel 10 was ruler of the Island Of Sodor.
"Thomas? Thomas! Wake up!" Thomas suddenly awoke, he was in the shed. "Get going Thomas, you are running late." Sir Topham Hatt said.
"What? Oh, sorry sir, I was having a nightmare about Diesel 10" and he ran off to get Annie and Clarabel.
Suddenly, Diesel 10 woke up.
“What a horrid dream! Good thing we aren’t so lazy to have an ending like that. Now for my first decree. I decree that…”
“All my subjects must refer to me as His Excellency Diesel 10, Oily Overlord, Onslaught I.”
The next day, Diesel 10 ascended his new throne at the Dieselworks. Suddenly, a man approached him.
“Hello, my name is the Man In Red. I have a proposal for a team up that you might find most enticing…”
“No thank you. I work alone.” Diesel 10 said.
While Diesel 10’s reign continued, on the Skarloey Railway life continued as normal. Rusty and Peter Sam met at the junction to discuss what was going on.
“It’s been three weeks since his reign began, can you believe it?” Peter Sam said.
“I heard he’s brought in more and more diesels from the mainland.” Rusty chimed in.
“It’s getting way out of hand, it’s a good thing we’re safe here.”
“Did you hear about Edward, James, Emily, and Hank?” Hiro asked from the station platform.
“No, what about them?” Rusty asked with interest.
“They managed to escape to the mainland. Apparently they all jumped the Vicarstown Bridge as it was opening!”
“No way! That’s impossible!” Peter Sam said. “That only happened once, in The Great Race, coming Summer 2016!”
Meanwhile, Thomas was explaining something to Rosie.
“No, I never jumped across the Vicarstown Bridge, that’s ridiculous! What’s next, I accidentally delivered children to a farm instead of a school?”
But that’s when His Excellency Diesel 10, Oily Overlord, Onslaught 1, began the next phase of his plan. He and Diesel were going to blow up Knapford Station!
Suddenly, a giant hand reached down onto Diesel 10 and Diesel, and removed them from the island model where the engines lived. They were the hands of Mr. Mitton, who oversaw the model railway where the engines lived. "You two have been very bad engines. I'm afraid I am going to have to put you both in the reject room until you learn to behave."
"No! Anything but that!" Diesel 10 cried out, but it was no use. Soon, Diesel 10 and Diesel found themselves on a dust covered shelf with Bash, Dash, Ferdinand, Dennis, and Billy.
"Hello there! Welcome..."
"to the reject shelf!"
"That's right!"
"I'm such a lazy engine."
"Shut up! You're just a bossy boiler!"
"AAAHHHHH!!!!!!" Diesel 10 and Diesel screamed together
Then His Excellency Diesel 10, Oily Overlord, Onslaught I, woke up.
“What a strange dream. Anyway, I…”
Suddenly, His Excellency Diesel 10, Oily Overlord, Onuslaught I heard a sound behind him. It was Bear. A claw extended from a hatch on his cab roof.
"I will take you down, Diesel."
The two charged at each other...
“Boss! Boss?”
The Diesel’s shouts woke up His Excellency.
“Sorry about that, I must have dozed off. Where were we?”
“You were just telling us about how you finally destroyed Thomas.”
“Oh yeah! So basically…”
Suddenly, Diesel 10 found himself surrounded by a lot of people. It was the autistic community, and they were not too pleased about the destruction of their beloved character and show.
"You have pushed things too far Diesel 10!"
"How could you do this to our favorite character!"
"You've got some nerve!"
"You're going to pay for this!"
"Now wait, I can explain..." Diesel 10 said, but it was too late; the fans of the show picked up Diesel 10 and brought him to the edge of the cliffside. He was cast off the rocks and crashed into the rocks and sea below. Diesel 10's reign was no more.
The engines and Sudrians rejoiced at the end of Diesel 10's reign. Soon Thomas was returned, and all was well again.
Until Diesel 10 woke up.
But when he woke up, he saw a man in a blue suit, a man in a gold suit, a man in a white suit, and a man in a silver suit staring at him.
“Diesel 10! Your reign of terror ends now!”
But it was all a dream.
“I should really talk to someone about all these dreams… this is getting out of hand.”
Suddenly, a portal opened up. Out of it emerged the one thing that Diesel 10 knew could defeat him… Henry!
But then he woke up.
Okay, seriously, this is getting ridiculous.
In the months since his reign started, Diesel 10 had made a lot of enemies. Emily, Edward, James, and Hank had returned from the mainland, and they were quickly driving his forces back.
D261, D199, and Diesel 10 gathered at the Search And Rescue Centre for a desperate plan.
“Are you sure this will work?” Diesel 10 asked.
“Trust me. On the other side of this tunnel is a whole new land for you to conquer.” D199 said.
“Okay, if you say so.” So Diesel 10 headed off down the Misty Island Tunnel.
“Don’t worry guys, that tunnel is totally unsafe. That’s the last you’ll see of him!”
And everyone cheered.
But then Diesel 10 woke up.
Okay, even I’m getting sick of the “it was all a dream” thing.
Diesel 10 realized that him realizing it was a dream was a dream. He was still on Misty Island. He had had a rough time there, because there was only one engine there, a frightened engine named Bash. He said he had two brothers, but Diesel 10 had yet to meet them.
Diesel 10 found himself growing fond of the little logging tank engine. He was smarter than he seemed, and the two soon found themselves working together in tandem.
One night in the Misty Island Sheds, Bash whispered out to him.
“Hey, Diesel 10?”
“Yes, Bash?”
“Thanks for everything… Dad.”
Diesel 10 smiled a small smile.
Suddenly, His Excellency Diesel 10, Oily Overlord, Onslaught I, realized something.
“Wait a minute, I hate steamies! I must destroy them all so nothing like this can ever happen again!”
And so he did.
Carnage reigned across the land. Molly, Neville, Rosie, Murdoch, and Whiff took refuge in Brendam Docks, the last safe haven for steamies. But the diesels were gaining ground, and things looked grim. But just when all seemed lost…
The unicorn appeared before Diesel 10
"I am here to tell you that your wish has been revoked."
"What, why!?" Diesel 10 said in shock.
"Wishes are sacred blessings, and must be treated as such. You have abused your wish so much it is repulsive. As punishment, not only is your wish revoked, but your memory of these events shall be wiped, and you will be made to believe that you work elsewhere."
"NOOO!!!!" Diesel 10 said, but it was too late; he was engulfed in a whirlwind and disappeared. The damage to Sodor was undone, and all destroyed engines were brought back, as if nothing had happened.
And in a small scrapyard on the mainland:
"Diesel 10! Get to work! Load that scrap and get shunting!"
"Yes sir." Diesel 10 said as he used his claw to load scrap cars then shunt them.
