This is such a good story!! I know I should say that I feel bad for Zain but I don’t. He got what he deserved so this was a lesson for him; The only tug I feel bad for is Zorran. Poor Lad is Traumatized from this whole event. Glad he returned to normal in the end. Amazing Job dude! I can’t wait to draw fanart for this story
Aww, thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it! It was good to write about Zorran in this way, showing that he has more to his personality than just being devious. Hope you enjoy making the fanart!
The story is pretty good, but I was a bit confused following it in some places. Hercules and OJ talking to Zorran felt they were alluding to something about Zain, but then we find out Zorran knew about the story because he was that tug? Also, Zain sailing off like he did, it felt like you had some really amazing moments fleshed out which I really enjoyed but the strings connecting them were very thin at best. Still a great story, just wanted to give feedback for whatever you create next, looking forward to it!
Thanks! I’m glad you like it. Although I should point out that that is kinda a different story - the only similarities between this and ‘The Embankment’ are the fact that the two OC characters are rude and disrespectful, and that a character has had a similar ghostly experience prior to the story (albeit with one surviving theirs while the other didn’t).
No idea what you mean. I checked them out, and found no errors. If you mean my voice might have slipped, then, in all fairness, it is very hard to keep doing a character’s voice for a very long time.
Erm, no. That name’s already been taken by other creators. If I were to do that, that would either be copyright infringement, or at the very least lacking in creativity. That’s why I only use my OCs in my stories, not other people’s. Besides, Zephyr doesn’t exist in my headcanon!
5:13 Captain Zero, go easy on Zip and Zug, they didn’t mean no harm to anyone of the chemical factory. Plus your reminder of their bad behavior is getting in their nerves.
Timothy Bateson, I’d say. He already did a sterling job with other characters in the show - especially O.J., but never really got to voice a Z-Stack - so I think this would have been a good opportunity for him to play a different type of character while demonstrating the versatility of his voice-acting skills.
Do you think that next year, you'll make a story where an unruly vessel will arrive at Big City Port, and Zain's ghost will convince them to change their ways?
Yes, actually. Well, a few months ago, but that was so that I could release it on Sodor Island Forums. A bit like the Reverend Awdry, I prefer to have my work published in text first, before it is adapted.
You know things are gonna get scary when Zorran’s being sensible.
This was up there with stormbringer as far as tugs stories go. Absolutely fantastic. Cant wait for someone to give this the trainz treatment
This is such a good story!!

@@TARDIS9this story is like a allegorical retelling of the Greek myth of Icarus
Crikey, what a story!😨
You know things are bad when Zorran, of all characters, is being sensible!
Very good work by the way!👍
Fantastic story about arrogance, I'm convinced the ghsot lady became a siren

Duly noted. Thanks for the advice!
Amazing work
In the end, our own worst enemy is ourselves..
A great tugs version of the embankment from last year.

This was really good.
34:57 and 37:00 Narration errors.
No idea what you mean. I checked them out, and found no errors. If you mean my voice might have slipped, then, in all fairness, it is very hard to keep doing a character’s voice for a very long time.
@@TARDIS9 in the first stamp, you used Zain's name instead of whom I assumed was Zak and in the second, you said fake instead of face.
Ok, first one was a narration error. But second one, I checked and I definitely said ‘face’, not ‘fake’!
@TARDIS9 love your Tugs videos, happy Halloween 🎃 and hope you're doing well mate. 💀 🧛♂️ 👽 👾
Hopefully we will see one of your TUGS stories in a Trainz style video once the TUGS models get more extra faces by Ihavenotalent62.
This is why you should never try to challenge the unnatural
More tugs creepy scary stories
Good Job. 👍🏼
That was the scariest story that I’ve ever heard
So Zain got killed by a siren?
And anyway, if the Z-Stacks ever did have an ocean-going tug, his name would've been "Zephyr" (#6).
Erm, no. That name’s already been taken by other creators. If I were to do that, that would either be copyright infringement, or at the very least lacking in creativity. That’s why I only use my OCs in my stories, not other people’s. Besides, Zephyr doesn’t exist in my headcanon!

Hey @TARDIS9 I have a question:
If this story was canon to TUGS, Who do you think would be a good voice actor for Zain?
Timothy Bateson, I’d say. He already did a sterling job with other characters in the show - especially O.J., but never really got to voice a Z-Stack - so I think this would have been a good opportunity for him to play a different type of character while demonstrating the versatility of his voice-acting skills.
What Tug is Zain based on? Does he have any specific features that set him apart?
I said it in the story. He’s the same design as Hercules, therefore he shares the same basis, albeit with the Zeros’ livery and hat.
@@TARDIS9 no worries, in that case I guess the Tug Hercules is based on?
Oh yes TUGS related story! *First Comment.
Do you think that next year, you'll make a story where an unruly vessel will arrive at Big City Port, and Zain's ghost will convince them to change their ways?
Not really, no. I don’t write sequels, unless they are intended to be part of a story arc I am doing. This story is just a one-off, standalone thing.
@@TARDIS9 ok, I just thought it would be an interesting idea.
@TARDIS9 My sisters birthday on the same day Your going be doing the tugs zain video and she's pasts away
Is it? I’m sorry for your loss.
Thanks for the special tugs video on my dead sisters birthday your good friend
Is this a tugs story that was written recently?
Yes, actually. Well, a few months ago, but that was so that I could release it on Sodor Island Forums. A bit like the Reverend Awdry, I prefer to have my work published in text first, before it is adapted.
@@TARDIS9 cool thank for the info
The story is great but the music really overpowers your narration at times.
