Sodor Fallout: Rewrite the Beginning Of the End

Beginning of the End The End of the Beast Part 2

**Setting:** A bustling train yard with Rouglas speeding down the main line, tankers rattling behind him. Donald and Douglas are watching in horror as they spot Oliver, known as "The Beast," coming from the opposite direction. ---

 **Donald:** (shouting) Rouglas! Stop! You're heading straight for Oliver! 

**Douglas:** (frantically) You're going to kill yourself along with him!

 **Rouglas:** (determined) I can't stop now! This is my chance to end it all! 

**Donald:** (pleading) No! Think about what you're doing! You don't have to go like this!

 **Douglas:** We can help you! Just pull the brakes, Rouglas! 

**Rouglas:** (gritting his teeth) No! I won't let fear control me anymore! 

*(Donald and Douglas slam their brakes, the sound of screeching metal fills the air. Rouglas, however, keeps pushing forward, the weight of the tankers dragging him down.)* 

**Donald:** (desperately) It's too late for us now! You'll regret this! 

**Douglas:** (voice trembling) We can't lose you, Rouglas! You're our friend! 

*(Rouglas's wheels skid perilously as he races towards Oliver, the distance rapidly closing.)*

 **Rouglas:** (yelling back) This is it! I'm finally free! *(In the blink of an eye, the two trains collide, an explosive impact echoing through the yard. Flames burst into the sky as Oliver's fierce form meets the deadly cargo.)* 

**Douglas:** (gasping) No! Rouglas! *(As the smoke clears, Douglas approaches the smoldering wreckage, heart heavy with sorrow.)*

 **Douglas:** (taking deep breaths) What have we done? *(He reaches the remains of Oliver, now grotesquely altered—his fangs replaced by the remnants of the smokebox.)* 

**Donald:** (voice shaking) Oliver... Rouglas... they're gone. *(Douglas lowers his head, the reality of the loss sinking in as he takes in the devastation.)* 

**Douglas:** (whispering) The Beast is no more... and neither is Rouglas. *(Both engines stand in silence, reflecting on the tragedy of their friend's final decision.)* --- **Scene fades to black, echoing the weight of their grief.**

**Edward:** (looking around at the scene) What happened here? Douglas... 

**Henry:** (gazing at Douglas's sad expression) He looks heartbroken. This isn't the face of an angry engine. 

**Daisy:** (whispering) It's so tragic. I can't believe it's come to this. 

**BoCo:** (gazing at the wreckage) Look at the damage. That explosion was devastating.

 **Donald:** (pale and shaken) Oliver and Rouglas... they're really gone, aren't they?

 **Edward:** (somberly) Yes, Donald. They... they both sacrificed so much. 

**Henry:** (trying to comfort Donald) We must remember them. They deserve that much. 

**Donald:** (voice trembling) Their life energies... they're just... gone. 

**Mavis:** (sniffing) It's hard to believe we lost them so suddenly. 

**Edward:** (turning to Sir Topham Hatt and Mr. Henderson) Is there any way we can bring back Stevor and the other engines lost in the fallout? 

**Sir Topham Hatt:** (thoughtfully) We might be able to save Stevor with the Kindleys' help, but Ronald and Douglas... 

**Mr. Henderson:** (sighing) Unfortunately, it comes down to budget constraints. 

**Donald:** (frustrated) But you just did the same for the road vehicles and rolling stocks! 

**Sir Topham Hatt:** (firmly) Edward, it's different. Those repairs are only for vehicles and rolling stocks, not for engines. 

**Edward:** (determined) Then we must honor Ronald and Douglas properly. We should hold a funeral for them, alongside all the engines we lost in the fallout—except for Skarloey. 

**Mavis:** (nodding) They deserve the respect. We need to make sure they're remembered.

 **Daisy:** (teary-eyed) Yes, let's do it together. For our friends. 

**Henry:** (resolved) We'll ensure their memories live on in our hearts. 

**Donald:** (gaining strength) For Oliver and Douglas, we will give them the farewell they deserve. 

**Edward:** (with conviction) Then it's settled. Let's prepare for their funeral. They won't be forgotten.
