Summary[]
Most of the goats so far are enjoying their trains; Weslie uses his Thunderbolt’s speed, Paddi uses his Hurricane’s map, and Jonie dodges a falling fruit with her Rainbow’s shield. Slowy explains that he had specially designed the trains for them.
Just then, Tibbie and her Lightning Angel come crashing. Sparky uses his Morning Sun to halt Lightning Angel. Tibbie runs out, too scared to continue driving her train. At the same time, Sparky does not want to drive Morning Sun anymore because he is not satisfied with the fact that his train only has repair abilities. Tibbie would rather handle logistics and feels that Lightning Angel’s harsh abilities are not suitable for her.
The goats camp for the night; Slowy demonstrates that the Magic Trains can turn into a house. He tells Tibbie to give the Energy Seed (now locked in a special safe box) to Weslie for safekeeping, but it has gone missing. After Paddi uses his Hurricane to determine that the Energy Seed must be in one of three certain locations, the goats split up and search, with Sparky and Tibbie secretly swapping trains.
Sparky recklessly cuts blades of grass with Lightning Angel. Tibbie uses Morning Sun to repair the grass blades with pink bows. Then, the two stumble upon the Energy Seed, but Wolffy also appears at the same time. Sparky and Tibbie attempt to defend themselves, but neither are able to properly use the trains’ abilities, as they are not the designated drivers. The two are captured by Wolffy.
Wolffy soon figures out that he cannot open the Energy Seed’s safe box without the handprints of all six goats. Weslie arrives to rescue his friends, but the poorly repaired grass blades from earlier fall on his Thunderbolt. Paddi’s Hurricane spins out on more cut grass, and Jonie’s invisibility is given away by a stray pink bow. In the end, all of the goats, except Slowy, are captured.
Later, Wolffy attempts to clear a path, but the grass falls over and damages Sirius. Sparky and Tibbie agree to repair Sirius and clear a road after Wolffy threatens to cook the other three goats. In the process, Sparky secretly rescues all of his friends and takes back the Energy Seed. Tibbie also leads the Magic Train’s assembly and knocks Wolffy away.
Later, once the goats finally enter the Big Tree World, Tibbie takes initiative in clearing the road, while Sparky proudly takes responsibility for repairing the trains. The two finally understand Slowy’s aim.
