Author's notes: Even though Luna is my least favourite of the 4 princesses, I still think she is a great character. To see her get a major role here was a really sweet surprise. Also, Ward Fell doesn't get his name yet. He does so by the end of the story.

Luna Takes Action

Narrator Freddie: Ever since William and Rachel had left, Peter Sam and Sir Handel had been feeling upset and Duke's and Sir Handel's feud certainly didn't help matters.

Peter Sam: Oh dear. I wish Granpuff was back from the works already. I want to apologise to him for hurting his feelings.

Sweetie Belle: I know. Well, he will be returning in a couple of days so maybe he will calm down.

Peter Sam: (Lone tear) I don't see how… He was so angry at us and Sir Handel hates him to death!

Miss Ravens: That's not true Peter Sam. The two of them will reconcile one of these days.

Peter Sam: I hope your right, but everyday he has been calling Granpuff 'Mudpuff' he said that mud I mean Granpuff has treated us like mud and that he deserves no better title than 'Mudpuff'.

Miss Ravens: Don't worry. I still stand by my word.

Peter Sam: Yes Miss Ravens, my dear. Um… by the way, I've noticed that whenever Mr. Holden starts work with Sir Handel, he seems a bit out of character more tired and more weaker.

Miss Ravens: Well that's hard to explain. 3 night passed he had had a very terrible nightmare about his fathers death.

Narrator Freddie: And she told them what had happened.

Peter Sam/Sweetie Belle: Oh my goodness that's terrible

Narrator Freddie: Just then, the signal dropped and Peter Sam set off down the line with his coaches and vans of farmers produce not knowing that Princess Luna had heard what had happened.

Narrator Rachel: Meanwhile in a factory plantation railway on an island 20 miles away, myself and William were working with another sad engine were being forced to transport strange plant like things and crates that they didn't know what was inside inside a factory. A man inside with a quart burnt scared face was waiting for us.

?: LATE AGAIN! YOU TWO ARE REALLY TESTING MY PATIENCE!

William: We're sorry sir. We're trying our best!

Rachel: Yes please forgive us Mr. Cooper!

Other diesel: We couldn't help it sir.

Mr. Cooper: SORRY! OH THIS TIME YOU GOTTA BE SORRY TO MR. HAMMER!

Narrator Rachel: Mr. J.R Cooper swung the sludge hammer smashed it onto the other diesel first 10 times then to the poor William. He gave him a second bludgering for threatening him if he harmed me before he gave me my beating! We cried in agony and pain! We were beaten and bludgered relentlessly and ruthlessly the neglected to repair them properly and Mr. J.R Cooper forced us to pull trucks to and from the several pick up zones. We felt depressed everyday. Even if we were on time, we'd still get a beating and William would always get second and even a third beating for talking back to Mr. Cooper before he attacked me.

Narrator William: I was not going to let Peter Sam's girlfriend suffer. Rachel couldn't understand at first but then I told her that she was like a sister to him.

Narrator Rachel: So I felt much better in that regard for her heart was still set on Peter Sam's. The other diesel noticed this and was amazed.

Other diesel: Hey, you two have a lot of courage. Rachel, I think that Peter Sam engine would be very proud of you and William too.

Rachel/William: Thank you uh….

Other diesel: Oh… I don't have a name.

Rachel: Oh! I'm sorry to hear.

William: Don't worry. We'll think of a good one for you.

Narrator Rachel: And we went back to work hauling the strange plant like things and crates of who knows what was in them back and forward across there depressing plains.

Narrator Mr Holden: Back on Sodor things weren't going as well either. Late one night, the mane 6 ponies and drivers were all sound to sleep at Tidmouth Hotel but then both me and Miss Ravens both had a nightmares. Both strangely they were dreaming the same nightmare. Me and Miss Ravens looked at each other and realised that I was William the little blue saddle tank engine and Miss Ravens was Rachel the diesel and to there horrors they were sitting among a pile of the remains of Skarloey, Rheneas, Duncan and Rusty together in a scrapyard.

Mr. Holden: No no this can't be!

Miss Ravens: Oh good lord! No! This can't be happening

Narrator Miss Ravens: Then to our horror, we saw an evil man looking menacingly at me and Mr Holden and a dark alicorn that Mr. Holden had dreamed about 3 nights ago.

Dark alicorn: Well well well if it isn't my good friend the famous William James Holden. It's been a long time since I've seen you hehehehahahahaha. Oh and his lovely friend of yours, the just as famous Miss Rachel Marie Ravens. Well I knew I she looked for familiar and that I've seen here somewhere before hehehehehahahahaha.

?: That makes two us.

Miss Ravens: No no! It can't be… What you can't real…

?: And yet here I am! hehehehehahahaha. Isn't this a beautiful sight? It's all I've dreamed of A graveyard of everything you've ever loved that! I must say you and your friend William here are quite pathetic! You guys just make me so sick seeing you with all these worthless junk heaps!

Dark alicorn: Hhahahahaha oh but should have seen the look on William Holden's face when he saw daddy die. Now time add you too our collection

Mr. Holden: No!

Miss Ravens: Noo!

(nightmare ends)

Miss Ravens/Mr. Holden: NOOO!

Mane 6/Mr Hawkins/Mr Roberts/Mr Thomson/Mr Hoskins: RACHEL! WILLIAM!

Narrator Freddie: When Miss Ravens and Mr. Holden finally came too their senses, they found themselves holding each other tightly in the middle of the hallway with the drivers and ponies all worried about there friends. Both of them were palpating with sweat, their faces pale. Theire breathing was trembling and hugging each other tightly and whimpering

Mr Holden/Miss Ravens: Don't leave me! Please don't leave me.

Twilight Sparkle: What happened are you two alright ?

Miss Ravens: I had a horrible nightmare. All of you were killed and the little foals were being tortured and slaved away to cut up engines and the Skarloey Engines were being cut up to pieces.

Mr. Hawkins: Well don't worry we're all here safe and sound.

Narrator Miss Ravens: After having a bit of tea to help steady them they all went back to bed. When they went back to work, Mr. Holden and I looked very exhausted they were given some tea and coffee to help sober them up this helped. This only a little bit.

Narrator Freddie: When Duke came back from the works the work load started to ease off but like Mr. Holden and Miss Ravens, he was feeling pale. Sir Handel had no sympathy but me the others did, even Peter Sam.

Miss Ravens Narrator: Princess Luna, who had been observing this, had now finally decided that it was time to help them she was going to talk to Duke and visit Mr. Holden and Miss Ravens. As Luna had predicted that night, Mr. Holden and Miss Ravens had another nightmare. This time the two drivers were tied down to the twisted remains of Rachel and William along with the twisted remains Peter Sam and Sir Handel on one side with a twisted torn remains Duke in the middle and there standing with a scythe in his hand, there stood a man that they had despised since 1950 along with the same dark alicorn.

Mr. Holden: No! Not you again!

Miss Ravens: Oh lord, please save us!

?: Nice to see you again, hahahahahahaha! Welcome to your demise.

Miss Ravens: No keep away from us! What did you do to our friends!

Dark Alicorn: Friends?

?: Friends? Oh you mean your scrap metal friends! Hahahahahaha!

Mr. Holden: Where in the name of Sodor have you taken us!

Dark alicorn: Why, don't you get it yet? This IS yours and your friends tombstones

?: And we're the reapers!

Narrator Mr Holden: Miss Ravens and I both shut our eyes tight. We were trying to reach for another. Then it all happened at once. One minute they were struggling to reach each other from the chains, then next they shot forward and bumped into each other.

Miss Ravens: William, are you alright?

Mr. Holden: Are you alright Rachel?

Voice: It's alright now .

Narrator Miss Ravens: We blinked. Standing right in front of us, was Princess Luna.

Mr. Holden/Miss Ravens: Princess Luna?

Princess Luna: A warm welcome to the two of you.

Mr. Holden: But how did you?

Miss Ravens: I thought that…..

Luna: I am the princess of the night. Thus it is my duty to come into your dreams.

Miss Ravens: So we're still dreaming … Oh that's a relief.

Mr. Holden: Yeah same here. I thought that we had just died.

Luna: I assure you that you are both still alive and sound asleep asleep. But when you awake, the things that frightens you most will still exist.

Mr. Holden/Miss Ravens: You mean him and that dark Alicorn thing?

Mr. Holden: And my Father's death?

Narrator: Princess Luna gave a knowing look.

Luna: Hmmm... is that dark alicorn and that evil man really what frightens you the most Miss Ravens? And are those two evil doers along with the death of your father what really frightens you Mr Holden?

Narrator Mr Holden: There was a few seconds pause. I broke the silence.

Mr. Holden: Um well yes, but only partially if I am honest. I think my biggest fear is not telling Duke the truth and for living a long lie since 1950.

Miss Ravens: The same is for me. We've kept that secret far too long and now it's a caused disastrous rift between the MSR engine family.

Luna: I know what you mean , alas, I feel guilty as well for keeping the secret too and so does my sister and Princess Cadence. That is why I have come to visit you both tonight.

Mr. Holden: Wait how can you visit us both in one dream at the same time?

Luna: Well, I remember everyone's dreams I visited? It just so happens that both of you feelings and hearts within your friendship has created a very powerful and unbreakable magical bond that resides inside both thee.

Miss Ravens: Does this mean..

Mr. Holden: Are you saying that

Miss Ravens/Mr. Holden: (Amazed) That we're connected by magic?

Luna: That is correct.

Narrator Miss Ravens: Our eyes widened with wonderment.

Luna: But we must return to the matter about the nightmares, I believe you are correct about telling the truth about to Duke and the other engines. We shall tell them at dawn. Now I must go now I must speak Duke before morn arises. Sweet dreams Mr. Holden and Miss Ravens.

Miss Ravens/Mr. Holden: Thank you Princess Luna, and the same to you.

Narrator Mr Holden: We then drifted back to sleep deep in thought.

Narrator Duke: At Crovans Gate Sheds I was sleeping soundly when a bright light appeared in front of me and princess luna appeared.

Luna: Hullo there Duke.

Duke: Oh hullo your highness. This quite an unexpected surprise. What brings you here tonight and where am I?

Luna: Your asleep Duke, currently in a dream and I am here to visit you.

Duke: Why is it that and what do you want to see me for?

Luna: I wanted to talk with you. It is very important. I want to help you Peter Sam and Sir Handel.

Narrator Duke: I felt reluctant at first but then Princess Luna gave me a serious look.

Duke: I understand.

Luna: Now I would first like to apologise for this long kept secret. I along with my sister Princess Celestia and niece Princess Cadence from thy crystal empire, Mr. Holden and Miss Ravens have kept this a secret and it has haunted not only Peter Sam, Sir Handel, Mr. Holden and Miss Ravens, it has haunted all three of us princess Alicorns. Now Duke, we need you to be calm in order for thy trouble to be righted.

Duke: I… I …. I understand.

Luna: Thank you Duke. I know how it feels to be quite a shock to find out how long thou had remained missing.

Duke: What do you mean Malady?

Luna: Well a long time ago in Equestria, our home where we ponies reside in, me and Princess Celestia my older sister ruled over the land and we still do to this very day. In the beginning our reign Princess Celestia and I created harmony for all the land in Equestria. In order to achieve this though thy older sister Celestia used her Alicorn powers to raise the sun at the crack of dawn; whilst I used my Alicorn brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two of us maintained balance for our kingdom and thy subjects, all the different types of ponies. But as time went on, I started to became resentful and jealous because the ponies relished and played in the day that my elder sister brought forth, but shunned and slept through my beautiful night that thou's truly brought forth… Then, one fateful day, out of jealousy and resentfulness I refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. Thy sister tried to reason with the, but the bitterness and anger in thy heart had transformed me from the former mare I was into a terrible wicked mare of darkness. Thy dawned title as Nightmare Moon. In anger and rage, thy princess of the night vowed that thy would shroud the land in eternal night. Reluctantly, my sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: the Elements of Harmony. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony me and her battled each other until, she defeated me and following the horrible battle, thy was banished permanently in the moon. And for awhile thy elder sister took on responsibility... until on the 1000th anniversary of that fateful battle. Thy was imprisoned in the moon for thousands of days and many years until on thousandth day of the longest year, I escaped through the aid of the stars as nightmare moon to seek my revenge and continued what I had started. But fortunately, thanks thy mane 6 ponies Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, my plan was thwarted. They found the elements of harmony which all resided in themselves. But not only had the elements of harmony destroy nightmare moon they managed to help brake me from my evil shadow. And helped me gain an new lease on life. Forever I am most grateful to thou element wielders for.

Narrator Duke: Princess Luna finished her story. I stood there with my eyes widened. .

Luna: Ever since I had been imprisoned in the moon for all those years and then finally being reunited with my older sister, I have realised ever since I had been reunited with my sister Celestia that no matter how long your gone no one will ever forget you.

Duke: Well I…. I never thought of it like that. Thank you malady.

Luna: Anytime Duke. Now thou must get some rest. We've got a very important day tomorrow.

Duke: Yes malady. I wish you a very good night and the best of wish for sweet dreams.

Luna: Thank you Duke. I wish the same for you.

Narrator Duke: Princess Luna left into the bright light and flew off into the night leaving me very thoughtful.

Well, that's part 6. Next is 'Investigations'. There, we will get the full picture of the Alumuim works.
