The day finally came. Everyone assigned to the route gathered at Knapford for the morning Wild Nor\u2019 Wester. They showed their tickets to the Guard and boarded the coaches as Gordon backed down with a smile on his face. He was actually five minutes early. The Fat Controller was confused. \u201cWhat are you doing this early?\u201d he asked Gordon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, just heard some news concerning my Fireman,\u201d replied Gordon. \u201cSpecifically, his wife!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo you mean-?!\u201d asked the Fat Controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe does!\u201d confirmed the Fireman. \u201cShe\u2019s pregnant!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCongratulations!\u201d praised the Fat Controller. \u201cNo wonder you\u2019re here early! Is this your first one?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is, and we\u2019re already thinking up names! I\u2019m considering Bertram if it\u2019s a boy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m flattered to hear that!\u201d The Guard\u2019s whistle then blew. \u201cAh, mustn\u2019t keep you! Good running!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you, Sir!\u201d replied Gordon. He then moved his wheels. \u201cHurry, hurry, hurry!\u201d he called to the coaches. His speed soon climbed. \u201cOut of my way! Express coming through!\u201d Gordon thundered down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inside the coaches, Richard was bouncing up and down in his seat like a little boy. \u201cI\u2019m riding Gordon\u2019s Express! I\u2019m riding Gordon\u2019s Express!\u201d he giggled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGeez, Daddy!\u201d chuckled Kaitlyn. \u201cYou were like that when you built your \u2018Spectacular\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause another childhood dream of mine is coming true! I\u2019m riding on a train on Sodor with my second favorite engine pulling it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait, Gordon\u2019s your second favorite engine?\u201d asked Daniel. \u201cThen who\u2019s your first?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, don\u2019t tell Thomas and Gordon, because, as I said, Gordon\u2019s my second favorite and Thomas is my third, but my most favorite engine of all is Percy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPercy?!\u201d protested Kaitlyn. \u201cListen, I like the little guy. I enjoyed being his Firewoman, but he\u2019s the most accident-prone engine on the railway! Why would he be your favorite?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, his season 1 theme\u2019s a real good song, his shape\u2019s similar to mine, and his work ethic\u2019s-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLadies and gentlemen,\u201d came the Guard\u2019s voice over the coaches\u2019 tannoy, \u201cwe are now approaching our first stop at Wellsworth. All passengers disembarking, please collect all your belongings and mind the gap as you exit the carriage. Thank you for choosing the North Western Railway\u2019s Wild Nor\u2019 Wester and have a great day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gordon slowed down and gently brought his coaches to the platform. He looked at the station\u2019s clock. \u201c\u2026Just five minutes early,\u201d he muttered to himself. \u201cI must be getting old.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCome on, Gordon!\u201d laughed his Driver. \u201cIt\u2019s still early!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, but I usually arrive fifteen minutes early. Perhaps this is going to be my first step towards retirement from the Express. \u2026What on Earth am I saying?! I still have years of steam and speed in me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTrust me, you galloping sausage!\u201d called a woman\u2019s voice. \u201cYou don\u2019t!\u201d Part of the track next to Gordon then vanished in an explosion. The station staff quickly evacuated Wellsworth Station as Richard and his team investigated what was going on. They soon found their answer as Igura, Katie, Auriella, Yamta, and Yulduk faced them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAdachi Igura,\u201d growled Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA pleasure to see my son-in-law again,\u201d purred Igura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBelieve me, the feeling\u2019s not mutual! Bounty\u2019s coming with us!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBounty?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t play coy with me! You\u2019re after Bounty because Khan wants her Source for his New Multiverse or whatever he calls it! You only imitate Hiro\u2019s plans after he fails miserably!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cImitate?!\u201d snarled Igura. \u201cI come up with my OWN plans!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019m hoping my eyesight\u2019s going bad, but that better not be Katie Barker with you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is,\u201d replied Katie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not allowed on railway property after that stunt you pulled with Edward!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy wife and I,\u201d called Auriella, \u201cdo NOT require permission!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAURIELLA SEFLOWA!\u201d shouted Azuliterii in uncharacteristic rage. \u201cI was hoping Katie didn\u2019t mention your name, but is it true?! YOU\u2019RE her wife?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou, of all people, have an issue with girls marrying each other?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI do when one of the women is the worst kind of criminal scum who has no business calling herself a Queen when NO ONE of our power should EVER have that title!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s nothing more than Chizaran Propaganda! I unchained the Adrexians when I finally became the first Queen!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cENOUGH!\u201d shouted Igura. \u201cRichard Saunders, surrender to us or Gordon is scrap!\u201d Azuliterii responded for Richard as she swung her arm and projected an energy wave that knocked the villains off their feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGordon, the instant your path is clear,\u201d Richard said to the big engine, \u201cjust go! Never mind the speed limit! Get your passengers out of here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight!\u201d replied Gordon. As the villains picked themselves up, the Kamen Riders fastened their belts on and pulled out their transformation devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHENSHIN!\u201d they shouted. They all transformed and drew their weapons. Amy swung her hammer as if she were still fighting Eggman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs that supposed to impress us?\u201d chuckled Igura. She, Auriella, and Katie then pulled out their belts and fastened them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShocker Driver!\u201d called Igura\u2019s belt. Auriella and Katie\u2019s belts looked like diamond rings without the diamond in it. Igura then pulled out her i.d tag as Katie and Auriella each pulled out a diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin!\u201d the three announced. Igura inserted the i.d tag into her belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTALON!\u201d it called. \u201cHito yon\u2019de Akuma no Shocker! Hito yon\u2019de Akuma no Shocker!\u201d Armor then materialized on her body and she became Kamen Rider Talon. For Auriella and Katie, they just inserted their diamonds into their belt\u2019s clasps. The diamonds shone and armor appeared on them. Richard, now Guard, gripped his sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIgura\u2019s Rider name, I already know,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat are yours?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m Kamen Rider Glam,\u201d said Katie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019m Kamen Rider Jewel,\u201d finished Auriella, \u201cand we both wear the Dazzle Driver.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re still villains!\u201d declared Guard. \u201cGET THEM!\u201d The Heroes then leapt onto the Villains and were met with heavy resistance. It was still enough for Gordon\u2019s line to be cleared. \u201cGO, GORDON! GO!\u201d shouted Guard. Gordon wasted no time in leaving Wellsworth. He got his train out of there as the Heroes fought the Villains. It was then that Guard noticed that his opponent, Talon, wasn\u2019t fighting as hard as he remembered. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d he demanded. \u201cYou fight better than this! Or is this the result of being in Hell for so long?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot considering a third option?\u201d chuckled Talon. Guard arched an eyebrow under his helmet, then they widened in fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo!\u201d he said. Talon then delivered a solid kick to his gut and knocked him into Hanako and Flora, Herald P.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cScrapping Gordon would have been a nice bonus,\u201d chuckled Glam, \u201cbut our main mission WAS accomplished.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe just needed you here,\u201d purred Jewel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have Bounty in our grasp,\u201d said Talon. \u201cIf you do not surrender tomorrow morning, Sodor will be wiped off the face of the earth.\u201d She then summoned a rift and she and her allies jumped in. Once it closed, Guard growled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAdachi Igura, I\u2019ll have your head!\u201d he vowed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
