An Island's end | A TTTE AU.

Penultima. | July 11th 1983.

We were absolutely gobsmacked to see the three tank engines alive, don't get me wrong we were all happy to see them but honestly I'm surprised they weren't goners. After quickly exchanging happy greetings they told us what had happened to them.

As we discovered from Thomas, Percy was at the old harbour when everything began, he ran bunker first all the way up to Elsbridge. He was unable to hide in the shed there so decided to make a break for Tidmouth sheds. 

He thundered down the line whizzing passed James until going through Tidmouth where he saw Henry running towards the shed. He kept going until to his horror he found himself veering of the mainline toward the goods shed alongside the engine one! Percy tried to stop but, it was too late. With a tremendous bang Percy slammed hard into some nearby trucks sending them of the rails which in turn hit a breakdown crane causing it to swing into Percy's side knocking him clean onto his side just as the world went black.

Several days later he awoke to an immense pain, the crane had dented his boiler badly and it was a miracle he had survived at all. He noticed the shed doors were closed at both ends. Percy wondered who had closed them but then it hit him. Where was his crew? He called out to them, but the splatters of blood nearby told him everything. Hours went passed, the hours turned into days until finally as Percy awoke he heard a faint puffing sound, it was getting louder, and louder and closer and closer. The whooshing of steam outside sent chills through his boiler. As the shed door slowly opened he braced for the worst. But it never came. There stood before him was Henry the Green engine!
