Synopsis

While escorting a water tanker through a dangerous gravity field, Mahad abandons Cheng and his post to do a little gravity surfing with an old racing friend, Lucretia- who turns out to be the leader of the Wind Devils, a band of notorious outlaws. After some sky debris incapacitates the water tanker, Cheng is left with no choice but to call for help from Cortes. While Cortes rescues Cheng and the water tanker, they are surrounded by Diwan and her fleet. Laden down with the salvaged water, the Saint Nazaire is rendered practically defenseless. Eventually realizing that his actions have jeopardized the safety of his friends, Mahad tries to convince Lucretia and the Wind Devils to help him save the Saint Nazaire. But the apolitical Wind Devils only care about racing and nothing else, leaving Mahad with no other option but to try and save his friends all by himself. Of course, Lucretia has a change of heart at the last minute and her Wind Devils help save Mahad and his friends from certain doom at the hands of Diwan.

Production notes

In the year 2251, the earth shattered into millions of blocks that now float in orbit around the earth's core, but these blocks remained suitable for living, and life continued on them. Soon, children with telekinetic powers-the Seijin-appeared. The earth's dictatorship, known as The Sphere, raised these children to enforce their power. A resistance movement of Pirates formed, but disbanded after their leader Marcus Farrell disappears. Skyland's young heroes Mahad and Lena find themselves unlikely members of the gang of Pirate rebels after their mother is kidnapped and imprisoned. They begin a journey to free their mother, fight the control of the Sphere and unravel the mystery of their father, Marcus Farrell.

Motion capture animation (combined 2D and 3D).
