Engines Of The Purge

Day 6(Arthur's Pov).

Salty, Arthur and Murdoch had been worried for BoCo ever since had gone off. It wasn't until the morning of the 6th they decided to make a plan.

"Alright, you know who left, we need to go find him," Arthur said.

"You know, he's fine," Said Murdoch, who wanted to believe BoCo was fine.

"I know you want to believe that, I would to, But we don't fully know that," Said Salty.

"He hasn't been gone long, maybe he will come back,"

"I know it hasn't been long, but me and Arthur can't help but worry,"

"We should head to The Ironworks to find him," Said Arthur.

"I'm not going, sorry," Murdoch said.

So the plan was made. Arthur and Salty quickly made a consist, which went like this. Arthur would be at the front pushing a truck, in case they would tackle any purgers. Behind Arthur was a fuel tanker and a coal truck. Then there was Salty, who had asked for war paint on his face the day before. Behind Salty was a van of supplies and a coach of survivors. Soon, they set off, not knowing what they would find.

"Salty, do you think we should move these corpses to a less public area?" Arthur said as he and Salty pulled into Maron.

"I don't know if we should," Salty said.

"I think we should so we don't have to look at it anymore,"

"I guess we can," Salty said as he uncoupled from Arthur.

James and his coaches were carefully moved back onto the rails and put between both engines.

"Arthur, where are we going to take this lot?"

"I was thinking, if The Ironworks is safe, we can leave him in a siding,"

"Alright,"

So both engines set off again, a bit slower with their longer load.

"Are you sure this is a good idea, Arthur?" Salty asked.

"I don't truly know, i'm just trying to do something good for this island during the purge,"

Both engines didn't say anything else as they went down the line. They passed through Cronk and carried on to Killdane. Once they go to Killdane, they found a familiar friend.

"Henry, i'm glad you alive but I thought you were staying at Crovan's Gate,"

"Before I tell you, who do you have James's corpse and his gutted coaches with you?"

"Well we wanted to move it somewhere nobody would have to see it, hope you understand,"

"I do. Crovan's Gate was attacked by purgers, me and the little engines their had to run off,"

"Attacked, I thought after the first day, people would shelter in their homes,"

"It was a gang that attacked, they must just want the island to burn,"

"I guess we have to be more careful now,"

"Yes we do. Also where were you going?"

"We were on our way to The Ironworks to look for BoCo. Murdoch told us about Arry and Bert, and BoCo took off to see what was going on there, we haven't seen him since," Arthur said.

"I can understand why. If that's the case, we need to get going," Henry said as he left his siding.

Henry was coupled up to the back of the consist, and they quickly set off. Their journey was long to the engines, but they soon reached The Ironworks.

"BoCo, are you here?" Called Arthur.

"I'm outside The Smelters Shed," Called BoCo.

The engines went over and saw BoCo. His back bogie had derailed but he was happy to see them.

"What happened after you left us?" Salty asked.

"Well I came here and found Diesel 10. The diesel said he had shoved Duck, Emily, Arry, Bert, and several survivors in the smelting pit. I managed to throw 10, but when I was trying to come back, I somehow derailed,"

"I thought something was wrong, I wish I had come soon," Henry said, cursing himself.

"Now that the grim ones are dead, should we use this place as a base," Arthur asked.

"I think we should, maybe staying here for the rest of the purge is a good idea," Said BoCo.

Salty and Henry moved James's corpse to a siding, then went back over to help BoCo. It was only his back bogie, it was not hard for the three to pull him back on the rails.

"Where's Murdoch?" BoCo asked.

"I was wondering that too," Henry said.

"He wanted to stay at Wellsworth, said we were worrying too much," Arthur said.

"Can't blame him,"

"I'll take a flatbed and guard the entrance to this place," Henry said.

"Good idea, i'll go after you," Said BoCo.

So they did. The rest of the day was spent sitting around, not really doing anything but wondering what the rest of the purge would bring.
