"Come on, you turkeys!" Shark yelled. He was a class 04 shunter with a 0-6-0 wheel arrangement, painted in a black and dark green color. He blared his horn. Diesel picked up speed, along with 199. Lady chuffed furiously, but she knew she couldn't outrun the three diesels. So, she decided to out-smart them. Lady stopped abruptly just as Diesel thundered by her.

    "What the!" He exclaimed as he darted into a siding of oil wagons. "Oh no!" He shut his eyes as he crashed into them, oil spilling all over him. He was off the rails as well. He opened his eyes and groaned in defeat. Lady giggled and continued chuffing. Shark growled as he sped after her, 199 right behind him. Shark revved his engine, gaining speed on Lady. He growled a wicked look, his jagged teeth showing, hence how he got his name, Shark.

     "Come on, boys!" Lady said in a seductive tone. "Try to catch me!" She giggled as she chuffed faster. This angered Shark, causing him to go faster until he was directly beside her. She gasped. Shark backed off to switch onto her track, and picked up speed again. Lady gulped.

     "Got you now!" 199 laughed as he switched in front of her. She was boxed in until she diverted onto another track which led right to Thomas's branchline. The two diesels stopped, growling in frustration. "She's on the branchline now! It can't support my weight!" 199 whined.

      "Oh for the love of....!" Shark groaned as he switched onto the branchline after Lady. "Wuss." He muttered to 199 as he drove after Lady. Meanwhile, further up the line, Thomas was just shunting his coaches when he heard Lady's whistle.

       "What on Sodor is going on?" He asked himself. Twilight poked her head out of his cab to see Lady thunder by them, followed by Shark. Thomas's eyes darted to a turntable, then to the signal box. "Sir!" He called to the guard. The guard nodded and switched the points to the turntable. Thomas rolled on, was turned around, and chased after Shark, his wheels pumping furiously against the rails. Twilight was shoveling coal into his firebox to make him go faster. Shark heard Thomas's whistle.

       "Oh, not that blue idiot!" He groaned as he gained more speed, just inches away from Lady. I was further up the line when they passed me. Quillton and I looked at each other and he shoveled coal into my firebox, which made me pick up speed. Shark gasped in shock as he saw me pulled up next to him. "What the! Another one?!" He yelped just as Thomas rolled up next to him, the two of us boxing him in. Lady smiled and switched into a siding just as me and Thomas diverted Shark into a parked train of fuel tankers, backing away at the last few seconds before the tankers went up, taking Shark with them. Thomas went back to the siding Lady was in. Me and Quillton stared at Shark's flaming wreckage.

       "Well, he's scrap now." I said. Quill nodded. Then, 199 pulled up in front of me, causing me to yelp. He growled.

       "Oh, you just made a big mistake, puffball." He told me. Thomas was guarding Lady, who was still shivering. "Diesel 10 is on his way, and he is extremely pissed." 199 told us. Thomas's face turned white in horror, so did Lady's.

        "Die......Dies....Diesel....10?!!!!!" They spluttered in unison. 199 smirked. A horn blared through the air, and Diesel 10 rolled up beside him, his expression angered. Lady made a small squeak and ducked back behind the bushes covering the siding. Diesel's claw clanked.

        "Hello, again, Lost Engine." He laughed. "Ah, the Puffball's here, too." He said. Thomas sneered at him. Diesel 10 looked at Shark's scrapped remains. "I see Shark is no more." He inquired. Twilight nodded.

        "That's right, you big meanie!" She yelled. Then, suddenly, she yelped as Diesel's claw plucked her off the ground from the waist up. She pounded her fists on the claw, which only tightened. Thomas, me, Lady, and Quillton all gasped. Thomas chuffed forward an inch, only to be stopped by Diesel.

       "Ah ah, one move, and little Ms. Smartypants here dies." He smirked. Thomas backed away. "Good move, Puffball. Now, the Lost Engine, if you please." Diesel demanded. Thomas looked at Lady, then Diesel.

       "I'd rather be scrapped than hand her over to you." He said. Lady looked at him. "You might not see it, Diesel, but when I look at Lady, I don't see just beauty and power, I see a very special and talented engine, who works her hardest to keep her railroad maintained. I might be sounding like Sir Topham Hatt here, but she's responsible, reliable, and really useful. That's what it takes to get the job done here on Sodor." Thomas said. Lady was shocked. Never in her life had she thought Thomas would say that. It gave her hope, and she smiled, her cheeks turning a light red. Diesel rolled his eyes.

        "Very well." He said. Thomas gasped as Andy hooked up to him. "You'd rather be scrapped? Take him to the Scrapyards and shunt him in the Smelter's shed! I'll deal with him there." Diesel laughed, dropping Twilight. She landed on her sneakers, scrambling over to me. All me and Quillton could do was watch in horror as the diesels took Thomas to the Scrapyards. Lady let a tear fall down her face, upset, angered, scared, worried, and most of all, frightened.
