Seize on Sodor - Thomas the Tank Engine & PAW Patrol Crossover

Chapter 28: Help from a Diesel with a Claw

Thomas and Emily puffed down the main line with the PAW Patrol. Thomas told them what Mayor Humdinger had said earlier.

"And then I remember him saying he had something important being delivered, but I doubt it's that important." The blue tank engine said.

"It's probably another suit made from another form of rare yarn." Emily laughed.

"So, Thomas, how do you plan to get Humdinger off the island if he refuses to leave?" Ryder quizzed.

Thomas looked down at his buffers. "Like I said, I know a few engines that could help us, but you'd have to come with me to meet them."

"But how are we going to give the evidence?"

"Give it to Emily's crew and then they'll hold onto it when we get back."

"Can we go too?" Chase and Skye asked.

Ryder was reluctant at first but soon obliged. The two engines came to a stop and handed Emily's crew the evidence while Thomas, Ryder, Chase, and Skye puffed along to their destination. Thomas and the three rescue team members rolled along the track until they saw a billboard that read 'Vicarstown Dieselworks' with a faceless diesel shunter on it. Ryder, Chase, and Skye grew nervous as they passed it. Wasn't long when they finally reached the location. Chase and Skye gulped as they read the sign above the entrance and looked ahead.

There were four lanes of track with one each intersecting with each other with track surrounding the building. On their left were five sheds. Sitting outside the sheds were two BR Class 08 diesel shunters Thomas knew too well. One had a purple livery while the other one was olive green. Scaffolding was built above the four lanes of track not long away from the large orange and yellow building.

This area was new to the PAW Patrol. They had seen diesels on the island before but had no idea that there was a repair shop made specifically for diesel engines. The little blue tank engine saw the two diesel shunters and made his way toward them. The little blue tank engine was a tad frightened, but knew he had to be brave if he wanted to get what he needed. The two diesel shunters saw Thomas puffing their way and glanced at each other, not knowing what to think.

Thomas stopped on the turntable a few inches away from them.

"I need to see your leader." He told them.

The two diesel shunters glanced at each other, looking for ideas of what to do if a situation like this happened.

"He's busy at the moment." The olive green diesel shunter said.

"Are you sure he is?" The purple diesel shunter inquired.

"How can I know? He's been in his shed all day."

"How do you know? We returned not long ago."

Thomas watched as the two diesel shunters bickered. He wheeshed loudly to get their attention.

"Please. This is important." He puffed desperately.

The two diesel shunters glanced at the blue tank engine.

"He's in there." The purple diesel shunter relinquished, his eyes beckoning toward the large building.

Thomas eyed the large building as he reversed away from the sheds and into the dieselworks. Inside the dieselworks, there was a turntable in the middle, that would work as a lift to the upper level track. The room was lit just enough to see the whole interior. There was even a crane on the right for lighting diesels for repairs. There would usually be workmen working in the building, such as melting down iron into scrap, but this time, the room was oddly quiet.
