Author's notes: And this is the story I had planned. It reveals what happened to the B-12 brothers. Warning, this is darker then most of the stories, so if you don't like that kind of thing, please skip ahead to the next one.

Foul Play

Narrator: The engines on the Fat Director's railway are always proud of working on the north western railway. Although sometimes barring Edward, the engines pride can go their smokeboxes, they are always willing to make up for it in the end. However I am sorry to say that there are sometimes engines that never learn sense. And the two B-12s on trail, 98462 and 87546 were the worst engines of all. They were horrid and rude, and even spiteful and malicious. And since the arrival, the 6 ponies they would often bullied by the, them along with the rest of the engines and the crew relentlessly. And sadly, Fluttershy was their favourite target. One day, Fluttershy was humming a little tune when she reached the sheds.

98462/87546: BOOOO!

Narrator: Poor Fluttershy was so startled, she jumped and hid inside Edward's cab whilst the B-12's just laughed rudely.

98462: Can you believe this pony? I bet she's so afraid that she's scared of her own shadow.

87546: How pathetic of the Fat Director. Letting such a feeble weakling work on railway.

98462: Useless, that what she is utterly useless.

Narrator: Poor Fluttershy felt smaller than ever, she made a whimper like sad puppy. Like Simmons, Gordon, and Henry, Edward did not like them bullying his new friends and was another engine whom stood up to them.

Edward: That is enough you 2! Engines and ponies should work with each other, not against each other. One of these days, you're actions are going to comeback and nip you in the tender. Mark my words.

98462: Pah! Your just as bad as they are old-timer.

87546: I mean seriously Edward! She's even afraid to come with us.

Edward: Oh, the way you two act, I don't blame her. You've petrified anyone that works with you.

98462: Pooh! It's because these stupid people and horses are too scared and stubborned to ride on modern engines like us.

Narrator: Just then William, Rachel and the ponies arrived for work.

William: WHAT WAS THAT I HEARD! R.D., get the scrub brushes.

Narrator: 98462 and 87546 just rolled their eyes.

William: And lets attach the cheese graders on the brushes too.

Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah! It's time to clean some fowl mouths.

Narrator: The B-12's screamed like little girls... Uh, no offence to the little girls reading this. Uh, anyway, as William and Rainbow Dash wash their mouth's out again, this time not only with the soap brushes but with cheese graders attached to them. The engines and ponies all laughed.

William: There. Nice and clean.

Narrator: Rainbow Dash looked closer.

Rainbow Dash: Oops. Missed a spot on 98462.

98462: (0_0 '') Not again.

Narrator: Rainbow Dash placed the cheese grader brush on 98462's tongue and gave a mighty pull.

98462: AHHHHHHOHOHHOY!

Rainbow Dash: All clean. (Big grin)

William: Thanks again Rainbow Dash. Ahem, anyway I just got the new work order from Sir Topham hatt. Thomas, your working this time with Pinkie Pie and Bob in the yards.

Thomas: Alright!

Pinkie Pie: We're going to have a lot of fun you and I, Thomas.

William: Simmons, your with Mr. Bennett and Rarity on stopping passenger train to Kirk Ronan.

Rarity: Sounds lovely darling.

Simmors: Ok. That does sound very relaxing.

William: Gordon, you're with Rainbow Dash and Perkins on the Wild Nor Wester.

Rainbow Dash: Awesome! Love that job.

Gordon: Took the words right out of my mouth Dash. Let's see if we can go full speed again.

William: Henry, you and Mr. Dwyar are on a milk train to Normmandy with Applejack.

Henry: I'll do my best William.

Applejack: And I'll be right with ya Henry.

William: Twilight Sparkle, your with me and Edward on a passenger train to Brendam.

Edward: Ok Twilight. It will be nice to get to work with you for a day.

Twilight Sparkle: Same here Edward.

William: And lets see, Rachel, Fluttershy your working with Arkwright on a double headed goods train with…. Oh no! Great scot! Not those two. I can't.

Rachel: Oh dear. What is it? Did I do something wrong?

William: No Rachel. You didn't. But I'm afraid they paired you and Fluttershy with 98462 and 87546, on the double header today.

Fluttershy: (Whimpered)

98462: Hahahaha! What's wrong Fluttercrybaby? Don't you want to take a ride you'll never forget on me or my brother.

87456: Hahahaha! We're going to give you the time of your life, sorry excuse for a life, Cowardshy.

Narrator: The two B-12's laughed devilishly as Fluttershy whimpered again nearly on edge of tears when suddenly not 1 but 2 loud angry shouted out making her jump.

Wiiliam: NO YOU ARE NOT 87546 AND 98462!

98462: (smugly) And how pray tell, do you plan to do that?

Narrator: William picked up more courage.

William: I'll be driving you 98462!

87546: Pah! That still leaves me with her and Rachel.

Narrator: Rainbow Dash then stepped in.

Rainbow Dash: WRONG AGAIN! I'll be driving you 87546! I'm sure Arkwright wouldn't mind working with Gordon for a day, nor would Rachel and Fluttershy mind working with Edward and Twilight.

Narrator: And with that, all the engines and ponies went to work.

Edward: (As he left.) Don't worry Fluttershy. You're safe with me.

Fluttershy: (Feeling better after a hug from Rachel) Thank you Edward, and for you too Rachel for that hug, and to William and Rainbow Dash too.

Rachel: I'll be sure they get the message.

Twilight Sparkle: Let's find the coaches.

Edward: Those dears will be happy to see us again.

(The 3 girls and Edward giggle.)

Narrator: 98462 and 87546 were furious.

98462: I can't believe it! That William guy is always getting in our way to do away with that pathetic Fluttercry.

87546: Well its time for plan B my brother,

98462: Yes. You're right 87546, we'll just have to kill him. Oh, and that blue pegasus while we are at it!

Narrator: The B-12's put their plan to action. They backed down onto their trucks with rude bump to anger them.

William: Watch it 98462!

98462: Sorry mate, misjudged the distance. (snickered quietly)

William: Oy! (To Rainbow Dash, calming down.) Rainbow Dash, are your sure you don't want to be with Gordon?

Rainbow dash: Nah, I'm fine. I'm not going to let these B-12's bully Fluttershy or Rachel either.

Narrator: Finally everything was ready. 98462 lead, with William as his driver. And 87546 coupled to the train behind 98462 with Rainbow Dash driving. The all clear was given, and the 2 B-12's lunged furiously forward angering the trucks even more so as part of their plan to Kill William and Rainbow Dash. Thomas and Pinkie Pie overheard them.

Pinkie pie: Oh no no no no! Not good! Not good! Not good!

Thomas: We must tell The Fat Director at once.

Narrator: They rushed towards vicarstown station and spoke to the Fat Director, who was now more worried than ever.

The fat director: I will see to the matter immediately. You'd better get back to the yard and tell the other engines, ponies and humans when they come in.

Thomas: You got it sir!

Pinkie Pie: Right away sir!

(They head off quickly)

Narrator: Meanwhile, out on rails, William and Rainbow Dash were worried. They didn't exactly have the regulator wide open, but they were accelerating rapidly.

William: Hey Rainbow Dash, how are things going?

Rainbow Dash: I don't know. I'm not giving that much speed but I'm still accelerating pretty dangerously.

William: Same here. I'm going to try closing my regulator.

Rainbow Dash: Ditto.

Narrator: However when William tried to close 98462's regulator, the regulator didn't move. A pin holding the regulator had jammed itself, making it useless to close or open the regulator. Rainbow Dash tried to do the same with 87546's, but he too had jammed his regulator.

William: Hey! What's going on here!? What you are you playing at? (Trying to unjam the pin.)

(As they crest the hill.)

98462: Now 87546!

Narrator: Suddenly, the pin in 87546's regulator snapped and he surged into 98462, forcing William to smash his head into the regulator, breaking the pin as well and knocking William out cold. And before Rainbow Dash could stop them, they were hurtling down the hill. Rainbow Dash immediately slammed the breaks hard on!

Rainbow dash: WIIL PUT THE BRAKES ON! WILL! WILL!

Narrator: She then flew from her cab after setting the breaks on 87546 and into 98462's cab what she saw made her heart pound fast. There, Will slumped to one side unconscious.

Rainbow dash: Oh my gosh! Will!

Narrator: As she slammed the brakes on 98462, she then heard a shattering noise followed by a crack! As 87546's iron brakes shattered, then followed by 98462's brakes. Now they were out of control without any way of braking. Rainbow Dash was horrified.

Rainbow Dash: SSSSSSSSSTTTTTAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

98462 & 87546: DEATH TO HOLDEN! DEATH TO HOLDEN!

Narrator: The B-12 brothers screamed while laughing like maniacs. Rainbow Dash whistled a warning as they raced through Wellsworth, passing a very horrorfied Fluttershy, Rachel, Edward and Twilight.

Edward: WHY, THEY'LL HAVE AN ACCIDENT AT THAT PACE!

Rachel : OH MY! William's in that engine's cab.

Rainbow Dash: HELP US! WILLIAM'S UNCONSCIOUS! THESE B-12S ARE TRYING TO KILL HIM!

Fluttershy: NO! THEY WON'T!

Narrator: Fluttershy flew after them, much to the bewilderment of Rachel, Twilight Sparkle and Edward who quickly left the coaches at the station and took off after her.

Edward: Rachel, Twilight, give me as much speed as you can.

Narrator: Still a little shaken, Twilight used her magic to open the regulator as much as she dared. The B-12's were still laughing maniacally as they raced uncontrollably down the line. Rainbow dash kept her hoof on the whistle chain whistling warning's as they flashed through Crosby. The trouble was right up ahead. There was a curve close to the sea before the Crosby tunnel. Rainbow Dash knew there was no way to save the train, so she grabbed a hold of William and tried to get him out, but a human was too heavy for one pegasus to do on her own.

Rainbow dash: Come on! Come on!

Narrator: Fluttershy arrived just in time and with her help she grab a hold of holden a the two pegasus ponies pulled with all their might. The B-12's tried to rock-n-roll to knock out the 2 pegasi.

98462: We'll kill you too if we have too fluttercrybaby! (Maniaclly laughing.)

Narrator: But Fluttershy took no notice. The coast line came closer and closer but at last with a mighty effort, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash pulled an unconscious William out of the cab just in time and landed safely by the lineside.

87546: WHAT!? NOOOO! GET BACK HERE YOU COWARD!

98462: YOU'VE HAVEN'T HEARD THE LAST OF US!

Rainbow Dash: END OF THE LINE YOU SARDINE CANS!

98462 & 87546: CURSE YOU FLUTTERSHY! CURSE YOU RAINBOW DASH! CURSE YOU ALL!

Fluttershy: YOU BIG DUMB MEANIES!

Narrator: Rainbow Dash watched in awe as Fluttershy finally stood up to the B-12's, as the two murderous engines and the goods train flung right off the rails. With a loud bang and even louder splash, the two B-12s and the goods train fell into the sea. 98462 had smashed into a jagged rock face and his boiler exploded, miraculously the 2 engines survived their sinking and the blast as they had landed into a shallower end close to the coast but the damage was done. Fluttershy and Rainbow dash grabbed poor William and flew him to Edward, who had brought a special medical coach which Twilight had made from one of the coaches in a nearby siding. While the spell was difficult, she would do anything for a friend. They quickly got William inside and headed to the hospital. Meanwhile, at the scene of the accident, the Fat Director whom had been informed by Wellsworth of what had happened, immediately drove to the scene of the wreck and borrowed a small boat.

Fat Director: You two are the most disgraceful engines on my line. I have never seen or heard of 2 engines that would want to kill their own crew. And the damage you caused won't be easy to repair.

87546: Uh, we're sorry sir…

98462: We don't it again...

Fat Director: Indeed you won't. For you will no longer be mended.

98462 & 87546: (Horrified). WHAT!?

Fat Director: DON'T SAY ANOTHER WORD YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING PILES OF JUNK! YOU HAVE BEEN A TROUBLESOME TO EVERYONE! NO CAN STAND YOU ANYMORE! NOT THE ENGINES, NOT THE PONIES, NOT THE MEN, NOT THE WOMEN, NOT THE COACHES! NOT THE TRUCKS!, AND NEITHER DO I KNOWING YOU 2 YOU'D GO ON TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE AND PONIES IF WE FIX YOU 2! BUT YOUR ACTIONS WILL TEACH THE OTHERS WHAT HAPPENS TO ENGINES WHOM ATTEMPT FOUL PLAY. YOU WILL BE DUMPED IN THE SUDRIAN SEA, WHERE YOU CAN BE A HOME FOR KIPPERS. GOOD DAY TO YOU 87546 AND 98462!

Narrator: Later, at the hospital, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie had gotten the call from Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Twilight and Rachel and about what had happened. The remainder of the main 6 then rushed over to Wellsworth Hospital, tears streaming down Rachel's face followed by the other ponies with worried with tears as well.

Rarity: (Starting to tear up) What happened to him darlings?

Rachel: (Crying) Will he be alright….?

Doctor: Misses, please calm down. William's got a concussion.

Rainbow Dash: Well Rarity, we were taking a double head goods train with those 2 B-12's 98462 and 87546 cause we didn't want Fluttershy to be at the regulator of those engines. A cotter pin got stuck in our engines regulators and we tried to unjam them, but they just broke off altogether by the look of it. William then hit his head pretty hard, cause as I flew in to see why he hadn't put the brakes on, saw him lying lumped by the cab window unconscious.

Fluttershy: I saw them barreling down the hill and noticed that William was unconscious so I flew over to rescue them.

Narrator: Rachel was now flooding with tears. The ponies all hugged her tightly.

Twilight Sparkle: It's alright Rachel, and if wasn't for Thomas and Pinkie, William would most likely have been killed.

Fluttershy: And you 2 and Edward were a big help too, getting the medical coach to get William here.

Narrator: The Fat Director was a good as his word. The next day, 98462 and 87546 were lift by cranes and the disposed never to return again into the deeper ends of sudrian sea. A few days passed and the ponies and Rachel continued to visit William at wellsworth hospital, courtesy of Edward's train, praying for the best. Then, one day they visited the hospital, and were startled to see he was not there.

Fluttershy: Oh my! Do you think he's... dead?

Narrator: Before anyone could reply or shed a tear a familiar voice sounded out and turned to see a man they all knew.

William: Hullo everyone.

Rachel: Oh lord! William! IT really is you!

Narrator: Rachel ran up and hugged her friend tightly.

Fluttershy: Oh William Your alive! I am glad to see you.

Narrator: Fluttershy then embraced the hug. Then everyone joined in.

Rainbow Dash: Man its so good to have you back on your feet.

William: I'm glad that I can continue working for Sir Topham Hatt. But hopefully not with those b-12's.

Twilight Sparkle: No need to worry about them anymore. Last we heard, they became home for the fish at the bottom of the sea after they tried to murder you.

Fluttershy: That's right. And you don't have to swap duties to protect me anymore, um... unless you want to.

Rachel: Too right Fluttershy.

Rarity: Anyway, we've all pitched in to make you this.

Narrator: William's eyes showed tears of joy. It was a blue knitted sweater with the words "To Our Favourite Driver And Best Friend".

William: It's beautiful. I'm feeling better already.

Applejack: And me and your friend the Vicar of wellsworth picked you some apples, here you are.

William: Oh thank you Applejack and god Bless Reverend Laxey.

Narrator: Twilight gave him a book on historic railway lines and locomotives of Sodor and Equestria, Pinkie Pie gave him some cupcakes, Fluttershy, gave her a vegetable basket, Rainbow Dash gave him a new cricket ball to replace the one he lost the previous year, and Rachel gave him a photo album of their adventures together. At last they left the hospital together where Edward took William back home to Vicarstown with his new friend Fluttershy happily at the footplate her close friends by her side, Rachel Marie Ravens and William James Holden.

Yeah, you didn't see that coming. Thought that they would try to get rid of Henry or have a fraud with Gordon, didn't you? Anyway, next up is "Edward, Fluttershy, Gordon and Rainbow Dash".
