Thomas was ready. He was ready for today and ready for tomorrow. He was ready for this week and was ready for next week. He was ready for this month and ready for next month. He was ready for this year and ready for next year. He was ready to pull coaches. He was ready to shunt trucks. He was ready to get bashed into some buffers. He was ready to drop down into a mine. He was ready to fall into the ocean and to pass a danger sign. He was ready to be stuck inside a tunnel with no steam to move at all. He was ready to crash into a stationmaster's house right through a wall. He was ready to stray into a woodland on a track that's overgrown. He was ready to find a secret tunnel to some island that's unknown. He was ready to be caught up in a landslide. He was ready to fall off a bridge. He was ready to try and climb a mountain. He was ready to be stuck up on a ridge. He was ready to be derailed while trying to win race. He was ready to be imprisoned in a Steelworks. He was ready to be lost in outer space. He was ready to check out the pyramids while floating down the Nile. He was ready to be out in the outback of Australia with a crocodile. He was ready to be in Paris sitting by the Eiffel Tower. He was ready to chill in Antarctica. He was ready to be in the Himalayas, taking in the mountain air. He was ready to act like a tourist in the heart of Times Square. He was ready to be in Rio de Janeiro as the Carnaval goes by. He was ready to be out on easter Island saying hi to a Moai. He was ready to be in an African safari, racing a zebra. He was ready to be in Venice on a gondola. He was ready to wrestle a sumo in a match in Tokyo. He had on a new coat of paint. His funnel was polished. His pistons were oiled. His buffers weren't bust. He was full of coal and water. His face had a determined expression on it. He was ready to take on Diesel 10.
The first battle was on Misty Island. It did not go well. Gordon and Diesel 10 fought on the Shake Shake Bridge. Gordon chuffed at Diesel 10 with all his speed but Diesel 10 grabbed Gordon with his claw and struck him down on the bridge. Gordon fell into the water and screamed for help before the Shake Shake Bridge fell on him. Samson went up to Diesel 10 with his dummy thick strength but Diesel 10 sat on him and squished him to death. The only thing Samson could do now was utter a quick squeak and die.
Thomas was very devastated at the deaths of his friend sand cried a flood of tears back to Tidmouth Sheds.
