Ryuko Matoi and The Magic Railroad

Chapter 3: The Plot Thickens/Sonic goes to Sodor

Back on Sodor. Iris is inspecting a rock carving.

Iris: Pinchy! You captured the Real me! I mean, that-that's beautiful! I could Cry!

Engines: Uh Boss, we're here.

Iris: Alright, Listen you two. I've got a job for you, Blurple.

Black: Actually, Its Black Heart.

Purple: And.. And Purple Heart.

Iris Heart: I ain't got time To say both names!

Both Purple and Black: Oh well...

Iris: I've come back to find a steam engine!

Purple: Oh that's easy!

Black: They're everywhere!

Purple: Exactly. Hey there's a...

Iris: Not the one I want. She escaped me once before, as long as she exists, so do the others! But if she can be destroyed...

Purple: D-Destroy?

Black: Did you say Destroy?

Purple: D-Word.

Black: Like hurt?

Iris: Yeah, destroy!

Purple: But there's one small problem there boss...

Black: Yeah, Mr. Sonic is coming and he won't let you destroy.

Purple: Yeah.

Iris: I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT! I'll get him too, with Pinchy! (Clanks claw and laughs, but her claw bangs against her face) Ouch! Pinchy! I hate it when you do that!

(Purple and Black Snicker)

Back in Shining Time Station. Knuckles sits on the Bench when Sonic appears.

Knuckles: Why hello, Sonic!

Sonic: Oh Hello, Knuckles! (He hums the Thomas theme) Okay. Tool kit, Check. Messenger Bag, Check. Ticket Puncher, check, check. Aye-aye-aye-aye... All aboard! Just testing, Knux. Mustn't let my conducting skills get Rusty!

Knuckles: Important day, Sonic?

Sonic: Oh-ho-ho-Ho! It is a very important day! I'm going to the Island of Sodor. You know, it's the only place in my universe where I really fit in size wise. Noire has given me a big responsibility. Iris Heart is back, and I have to make sure that she behaves herself. Excuse me one moment, Knux.

Knuckles: I hope your visit Goes well, Sonic!

Sonic: Thank you, Knux. I must be responsible, Reliable, and... Don't Tell me... Really useful, I knew that!

*Sonic Teleports over to Alexis's Desk*

*bubbles*

Sonic: I'm Sorry, what did you say? *reply* Oh, well, thank you, Moby Dick! I like my Sparkle too. You know, Gold really is your color.

(Sonic goes over to see Alexis after she gets off the phone)

Sonic: Alexis, where did you find this painting?

Alexis: In an old locker! It was done by Shadow Stone when he was a child. I was told he used to work on this railroad. But he never leaves the other side of the mountain now. You seem puzzled, Sonic.

Sonic: Well, I am Puzzled! This place looks like the Island of Sodor, but how would Shadow Travel there without Gold Dust? Sparkle has been the only way to make the trip since the lost engine disappeared! Anyway, I just came to say goodbye. I have to go now.
