Summary: In which Thomas the Tank Engine becomes the latest model in Erebonian railway cannon.

"Gosh, you do look smart today!" Henry commented as Thomas rolled out of the station. Not only did he have a brand new coat of bright blue paint, someone from the invading Erebonian army had strapped several railway cannons to him! 

 

"Aren't they a little heavy, though?"

 

"You'd think so but Reinford's miniaturisation and new materials technology has come on a long way! It's a miracle of engineering, Toby, I would love to take everyone to visit the factory. The nice lady said I was just the prototype but that she was planning to weaponise us all soon."

 

"Where on Earth are you going with them, though? I mean, the football crowd gets a bit rowdy coming from Manchester but all this is probably overdoing it a little."

 

"Don't tell anyone, old chap, but I happen to have been told a very special secret," Thomas whispered, "We are going to invade Liberl!"

 

"I suppose this means I won't get that holiday I was promised after all."

 

"Oh, that was probably a euphemism for the scrap heap anyway. Now we have new purpose, nobody can get rid of us. Don't worry, I'm sure that it will be a jolly exciting adventure!"
