《Steam of Britain》Chapter 31: The Twins
Advertisement
Harold and Alex were hard at work at Brendom Bay. The two engines shunted trucks, and took goods to their destination. They then saw an engine who they thought was Barrow. "Hey, Barrow, what are you doing here? We've got a load need to....." Alex stopped, and got a good look at the engine.
"Oh, you're not Barrow." "No, that's my brother. My name's Boco." "Nice to meet you Boco, I'm Alex." "Nice to meet you Alex. Is this my train?" "Yes it is." "Alright, there should be a load of China Clay coming soon. Just be careful of the twins." "Twins? You mean Donald and Douglas?" "No, I mean the Tank Engine twins, Bill and Ben." "I see," said Alex, "Are they troublesome?" "Yes they are," said Boco. He then set off, leaving Alex with much to think about.
Soon, Harold was working on a goods train, when he saw a small tank engine. "Hello," said Harold, "Can I help you?" "Yes, I need this Clay sorted out please." "Of course," said Harold. He buffered up to the trucks, and pulled. He then came to a stand still. "HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO MOVE THESE!?!?" he asked. Unknown, Alex was pulling from the other end, with another tank engine as well. "I'm guessing that you've pulled a trick on me, right?" "Me, no," said the tank engine. "Are you that Bill, or Ben?" "Bill." "Boco told me about you. So, what did you..." Just then, the coupling snapped. Harold was sent down the line, and hit some buffers. "TRICK Y-" Just then, a loud crash was heard, and the engine went to see what it was: It was Alex, and he crashed into Edward, who came with a goods train!! The two derailed, blocking the points, leaving all the engines stuck. "Oops," said Bill and Ben.

Soon, Trooper came with the breakdown cranes, and the Fat Controller.
"I am disappointed in you Bill and Ben," he boomed, "I expected you to play harmless tricks, not ones that would cause a crash. You will both help clean up this mess, apologize to Harold and Alex, and stay in your sheds for a week." "Yes sir," said Ben. "Sorry sir," said Bill.
Soon, the engines all cleaned the mess, and Harold was sent to clay pits for the time being. there, Bill and Ben apologized. "We're sorry for pulling that trick on you," said Ben. "We are," said Bill, "I just want you to know.....IT WAS ALL BEN'S IDEA!" "What!?!" exclaimed Ben, "No it wasn't, you were the one who suggested it!" "Well you were the one who said 'Are you thinking what I'm thinking?'" "No I didn't!" "Yes you did!" "No I didn't!" "Did!" "Didn't" "Did!" "Didn't!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" Harold laughed. "You know, you two seem to be a perfect match." "Well, we are twins," they said. Harold then headed off to do his work, and soon became friends with the twins.

8 170The Legend of the Fake Hero
*I don't own the cover image**This has the Tragedy Tag; please no genre hate. Bad things can happen to good people, just like in real life (not that they will. I almost didn't put the tag there as it doesn't really fit the genre. I like happy endings.).The year is 201X, and the line between reality and the imaginary has become blurred. Approximately nine months ago, the event which became known as "The Convergence" occurred. People on Earth began to obtain powers. Some received them for seemingly no reason while others had obtained them after they had returned from the many different worlds that they had unwillingly been abducted to. These new worlds existed beyond time and space, and many could have different rules different from what we know as standard reality. That is because these many worlds seem to have traits taken from imagination. Things from stories and myths, like magic and plots, existed in these worlds as if they were inspired by them, and that was only a start.On earth, there was a young man. On appearance, he could be considered only slightly better-than-average. The only thing he was known for was his incredible mind that left him feeling bored and out of touch with reality. But soon he would leave this reality altogether. One moment he was lying in his bed. The next, he was face-to-face with a beautiful young lady who he had just woken up upon him falling into her bed. This young man has an incredible fate and will soon visit many worlds, gain many powers, and meet many women who, like the young girl whose bed he had fallen into, will blow him away.Upload Schedule (Updated 3/28/2021)Upload one chapter every-other-weekend PST (with rare exception, typically due to length).Breaking Fate/Origin Arc (Done) Albion Arc: Vol 1 - Origin, Vol 2 - Rise of the Red Dragon (Done) New Earth Arc: Vol 3 - New Earth (Done) Dealing with the Past Arc: Vol 4 - Ghosts of the Past, Vol 5 - The Dracul Descends, Vol 6 - War of FateBound Fate Arc Fake Hero Arc Vol 7 - Martel Side Stories #1 Shield Hero Arc Vol 8 - Second Chance Vol 9 - The Adventure Begins (Current) Vol 10 - First Quest Vol 11 - TBD (Writing [37%]) (Multiple Future Volumes TBD)Currently ONLY posting on Scribble Hub, Royal Road, and Wattpad (Same user name)If you find my work on other sites please let me know!

See how anyone can become anything they want inside The God World. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = This is set in a futuristic world, where humans were able to enter in fantasy-like worlds through portals. The fantasy worlds open a game-like system to everyone who enters them, involving levels, combat classes, lifestyle professions, monsters and other intelligent races. People can enter and leave the portals, and can take things with them. This fiction is currently being edited and cleaned, because I'm co-writing on webnovel.
8 138Tales of Light
These are a collection of short stories following different narratives. It's more like a playground and experimenting with ideas or subjects I don't want to write a complete story about. It's also a place to test my skills as a writer. Think of it as a notebook of un/finished ideas. Feel free to pick and choose which chapters to read. They aren't related unless specifically said otherwise. Just relax, enjoy, and cringe at goofy stories. There may be a timeline of events, or not... who knows?
8 199The Summoner's Call
No schedule. The first 20 or so chapters have a little cringe-inducing English. The story is slow and summoning spells are actually scarcely shown at the beginning. Old synopsis: Have you ever heard about him?Of he who was born in the city of mages?He, who once burned a kingdom to the ground?Whose spells did he wave together humbled the gods?Who made men's wildest nightmares pale before those he called from the beyond?The Hypocrite. The Thief. The Mad. The Murderer. The Calamity.History talks about those and more men, and their many deeds.What it doesn't tell is that all of them were only one man.He was known by many names.The Summoner.So, tell me, haven't you heard of him before?It doesn't matter, so listen, as I will tell his story one last time.
8 85Phantom Wings (pending rewrite)
Notice: A major rewrite is currently ongoing, all chapters shown currently are pre-rewrite. Two cities, closed behind walls, separated by an entire continent, are all that's left in an atomic war which has dragged on for decades. Fueled by hate, disagreements, misunderstandings, and stubbornness, the war wages on day after day. Caught in the crossfire, two teams of fighter pilots of opposing sides come together, with a hope to discover what it means to truly be human, and to end the war for good. This is their story. A story of war, of discovery, and of rebellion. This story (this arc, at least) is now complete. No promises for a sequel yet.
