Thunderstone

2020 is the year in which Noah Daniels lives with his family. Back in 2002 a comet Nemesis destroyed the Earth's surface along with humans and animals. The few that survived live underground in a place called North Col. Noah is gifted in ways, but it is his fascination with the holodeck with proves to be costly. The holodeck with was once used is now left to gather dust, until Noah starts it up and lands in Haven.

After being captured by a group of Nomads, Noah is still trying to figure out how far back into the past he is. The Nomads are a small band of children who are pursued by another older group of youths called the Protectors who runs a mine. In this time, the most powerful substance is Thunderstone and this is what Tao of the Protectors is currently mining. A sensing device, provided by a mysterious man in a cloak is a new weapon for tracking down the Nomads. Back in North Col, Noah has been noticed as being missing.

Still a captive of the Nomads, Sundance and Noah come face-to-face with the protectors once again and we discover that Sundance has a twin brother Sutch who is a Protector. To prove he is no danger to the Nomads, Noah detroys the sentinel and then both he and Sundance return back to the Nomad camp. Back at North Col, Dr. Pretorius and Becky are trying to re-trace what Noah did in order to find him and bring him back.

Tao has plans for the truck known as The Beast. The Nomads are still trying to reach the safety of the mountains via the 'deep road', meanwhile Noah has discovered that he is actually in North Col, but instead of being in the past he is in the future year of 2085. Sundance returns to the camp with Noah's PHD and he figures out that to go back home he with need to same kind of energy that was first needed to transport him. The only thing which Noah sees to have that power is the thunderstone.

Arushka and Noah sneak into the protector mines in order to save Sundance whom they are convinced. Back in North Col, Noah's mother Liz has a look around the Holodeck. Tao meets up with Noah in the cave while Arushka has to deal with the feeling of guilt at having left Noah there alone and returns back to the Nomads lair to find him. Having been found and in order to escape Noah activates his PHD and along with Arushka they leave Haven.

Noah and Arushka stare gob smacked at the huge creature before them. This is a circus in 1999 — they have gone back too far! Arushka doesn't hear or care about Noah's concerns — these are real animals not just images on a wall. She never wants to leave. Noah tells her in a couple of years the animals and everything else will be gone when the Nemesis Comet strikes. Noah sets off to find a power source, leaving a saddened Arushka to look around. All of the animals are amazing but when she meets the beautiful circus horse Moshi she is totally captivated. As Noah drags Arushka away from the circus they meet Sophie and Mingus, a pair of animal liberationists set on freeing the circus animals. Whilst trying to prevent the animals from escaping, Noah and Arushka are caught and accused of the break-ins. In North Col, a quantum aberration convinces Becky that Noah may have time-travelled. Tao roars across the Red Desert in the Beast, telling Jett about his latest weapon — the mobile Sentinel tracking device. They can run but they cannot hide! Noah and Arushka are being escorted to a waiting police car when a lion escapes its cage. The crowd panics but an entranced Arushka is captivated by the beauty of the King of the Jungle.

In Haven of 2085, Arushka rides Moshi, her black mare, through the Riverlands. She's inspecting the contented Animals which she and Noah have transported to the future to avoid extinction. Dolly follows at a distance… But we see the faithful sheepdog distracted and lured away. Above the North Col of 2020, the Impact Winter produced by the Nemesis Comet still prevails. Noah discovers Dolly, terrified and half frozen in the blizzard. How had the dog travelled back through time and who sent her? Arushka returns to the compound, where the Nomads now live as a settled community. With their enemies vanquished and the contentious mineral Thunderstone wiped from the face of the Earth, Haven is a peaceful place. An eccentric old peddler, Monsoon, visits with gossip about the comings and goings of new settlers and about the weather, which in Haven has lately been extreme and unpredictable. Dolly is discovered in North Col by the authorities and is condemned to banishment in the snow. To save her, Noah breaks the new rules which ban time- travel. He breaks into the sealed Holodeck and used the PH-Ts to return again, with Dolly, to Haven. He arrives at the height of the storm and helps the Nomads save their hut from a lightning-felled tree. Then there's time for a reunion. But the Dolly mystery is unexplained and some unidentified figures are watching them through the trees.

-Noah is quick to notice that there is dissent among the Nomads. Now that they're no longer on the run from a common enemy there's a restlessness. Old Monsoon visits with his wares and tall tales and wheedles an invitation to stay the night. In the morning, Noah discovers he's taken his PH-Ts and he and Arushka set off to the get the precious time travel device back. Meanwhile in North Col, Becky tries to cover for Noah's absence by producing the Noahgram, a hologrammatic version of himself which Noah has recently created. Its behaviour creates bizarre situationsand the ruse is quickly discovered. Chip, annoyed at being left behind, determined to catch Monsoon by himself. Against Kwan's warnings, he saddles up Moshi, Arushka's majestic black mare. Arushka and Noah catch up with Monsoon and demand the PH-Ts returned, but the crafty old man denies having seen them. Meanwhile, Chip is having trouble with Moshi—but he hears the rattle of Monsoons pots and pans in the distance and manages to spur the horse on … into the woods. All is silent and there is no sign of Monsoon, but something in the bushes frightens Moshi. She rears and Chip is thrown into a pit of quicksand. The frightened horse bolts, leaving Chip alone and helpless, sinking further into the quagmire. What could have frightened Moshi so much she'd leave a Nomad in Peril? Alerted to the danger by Moshi, bridled but riderless, Noah and Arushka race to Chip's rescue. But they're too late… as Chip disappears below the sand four strangers to Haven haul him out—Myah, a barbaric looking young woman and her three brothers, Rorden, Tod and Lyal. Not only have they saved Chip's life, they also have the PH-Ts, which Rorden reluctantly relinquishes. The Nomads and the new family pledge a wary friendship. With the PH-Ts returned, Noah must face the fact that there is no source of power for them in Haven. How will he get back to North Col?

-As dry electrical storms prevail in Haven there is growing concern about the changing climate. Noah devises a plan to harness the lightning, which strokes most often on Razorback Ridge, and so powers his PH-Ts. Monsoon wins back favour in the Nomads' compound by bringing in a wounded animal and half of a weathered amulet. Kwan produces the other half, given to him by his long-lost mother. With the prospect of reuniting with her, Kwan bids the Nomads farewell. Though his hopes are dashed, a heart-broken Kwan has too much pride to return to the compound. Monsoon, meanwhile is spooked by a visit to the family. It seems these people can communicate with each other telepathically. Up on Razorback Ridge, Arushka insists Noah test the PH-Ts before using them on himself. The stand-in scarecrow is burnt to cinders as lightening is channelled into the PH-Ts. Nevertheless Noah ignores all protests, reconfigures the equipment and successfully time-travels back to North Col. Noah's family are relieved to see him but the North Col authorities thrust him into the detention centre for breaking the time travel ban. Myah is lurking in the North Col sludge pipes. How and why has she accompanied Noah on his time travels?

Myah makes herself known to Becky and Russell, a clumsy classmate whose suspicion is quickly supplanted by infatuation with the stranger. When the news is conveyed to Noah he realises he must take her back to Haven immediately. But how to escape the detention centre in order to do it? Russell reluctantly agrees to help by taking Noah's place in the cell. Bamboozling the Holocops, Becky smuggles Russell in and Noah out. Meanwhile in Haven, Lyal pays a visit to the Nomads' compound. His bullying and arrogance infuriate Sundance and he gladly accepts when Lyal challenges him to a race. Sundance is further angered when Lyal wins by cheating and with help from his brothers who secretly use their telepathic powers against him. It's memorial day in North Col. Syndia, the most officious member of the ruling Triumvirate, is giving her address. With everyone distracted Noah and Myah make it up to the holodeck. Myah shows an over zealous interest in the workings of the Holodeck as Noah successfully white-lights them out. By now Russell has been discovered. A furious Syndia strides into the detention centre and sees Noah is gone. Noah is now in deeper trouble then ever. Back in Haven, he and Nomads view Myah and her brothers with increasing suspicion.

Syndia, still fuming, pronounces banishment for Noah when he returns. In Haven, Noah is awaiting the next lightning strike. Myah pleads with him not to leave, making vague promises of power and success. She is left behind angry and frustrated, as Noah white-lights out once again. Noah arrives home secretly and employs Becky's radical plan to avoid banishment: he uses the PH-Ts to travel 24 hours back in time to the detention cell. In the re-run yesterday, Syndia storms in and finds Noah safely locked away, rather then discovering Russell. Back in today, Becky is delighted with the success of their plan, but Noah is shaken by its implications. He swears never to use time travel technology to change history again. Meanwhile in Haven, Geneva falls into an animal trap — who would make such a thing in Haven? Chip runs off to alert the others but doesn't see a herd of wild brumbies approaching. While Lyal and Rorden muster the animals towards the trap, Tod, the youngest of the family, discovers Geneva and places himself between the trap and the stampeding animals. He manages to divert them and pulls Geneva to safety. When they spot the Nomads approaching, Rorden and Lyal flee. Tod is brought back to the compound as a prisoner. As a hunter of animals he is an enemy to the Nomads. But his charms are not lost on his warden, Geneva. She is convinced Tod has learned his lesson and successfully argues for his release. At their campsite, Myah rips into her brothers for getting on the wrong side of the Nomads. They need them… but for what?

There has been no rain in Haven for a long time and Arushka is worried about the animals. While checking up on them she sees Rorden, the most eccentric of Myah's brothers, scurrying out of the rocks below Razorback Ridge. She and Sundance return to the spot to investigate. They discover Rorden's Grotto, filled with weird equipment. Meanwhile Myah is conducting a few investigations of her own. Once again she uses the Nomads goodwill to her advantage and is snooping around the Beast, an old vehicle still filled with gadgetry of its precious owners, the Protectors. The brothers return to their cave and catch the unsuspecting intruders. Arushka and Sundance have no means of escape, locked in a primitive cage. What is the strange family up to? Above North Col, Noah finds a pair of modified PH-Ts, exactly where Dolly was found. Somebody, sharing his knowledge, must have sent her into the past deliberately. Risking the inevitable censure, Noah once more travels to Haven to find the truth. The Nomads have received Arushka's message from Prince, a friendly kestrel. Noah and the gang embark on a mission to rescue Arushka and Sundance. In the struggle between the Nomads and the brothers, Sundance is recaptured. And now Rorden has got hold of the PH-Ts. At last, he says, dangling them in from of the caged Sundance, I have a human subject for my experiments.

It is the year 2020 where Noah Daniels is famous for discovering time travel, saving the world, and making the colonisation of space possible. Noah's comfortable existence is shattered when a gang of vengeful kids travel back to Earth through space and time from the colony on E-Delta — using the wormhole technology Noah invented — and kidnap his best friend Arushka.

Arushka is held captive on the planet E-Delta, where the Bioplex structure is the only thing that stands between the inhabitants and their hostile environment. You can't last long outside without an oxygen pack and during the time of the red giant sun, you can't last at all. Drako, the handsome leader of the E-Delta kids, advises Arushka to get used to her new home — she's sixty million light years from Earth and any hope of rescue. Noah and the Nomads have other ideas as Chip impulsively jumps through Noah's experimental wormhole. Noah pursues him and the two emerge on E-Delta and make their way inside the settlement after rescuing one of the young colonists.

Noah meets Curly, a grizzly old hologram who tells him why the E-Delta kids want revenge against Earth and their mortal enemy… Noah Daniels himself! He and Chip must break Arushka out of the Bioplex and get back to Earth before anyone discovers his identity. Meanwhile, on Earth, the animals in the Wildlife Reserve are under threat with Arushka away.

Drako and his gang make another raid on Earth, this time targeting the Horizon Foundation where Noah works. After forcing Noah's mother to give them access to the Foundation's encrypted computer files, they are surprised by Arushka while trying to escape with Noah. Arushka stops Drako from taking Noah back through a wormhole and in the confusion, a young member of the raiding party is left behind. Clio is alone and terrified by the strange beasts in the Wildlife Reserve.

After Drako's raid, Horizon Foundation security orders Noah be confined to his home for his own safety until the crisis is over. Chip finds Clio in the Wildlife Reserve and together with Arushka and Chip, begins to teach Clio about animals. In return, Clio shows them that not all E-Delta kids are bad. While confined to home, Noah searches the files Drako stole in an effort to determine what he came to Earth for. When Drako returns for Clio, Kwan and Arushka (along with Moshi), follow their new friend through the wormhole to E-Delta. Kwan is taken prisoner by Drako while Arushka flees into the hostile wasteland. Apra decrypts the files stolen from the Horizon Foundation, revealing the location of a very special asteroid in orbit around Earth. With a deadly wall of sand approaching, Arushka has no choice but to return to the Bioplex. Drako takes Arushka in but leaves Moshi out in the storm.

Chip helps Noah escape from his guarded home and the pair quickly discover their friends have been taken to E-Delta. Clio and Curly join forces to help Kwan and Arushka rescue Moshi. With the Bioplex's energy reserves running low, Drako decides to returns to Earth to deliver Noah an ultimatum: the safe return of his friends in exchange for a canister of Thunderstone. Drako double crosses Noah, taking the canister and destroying Earth's only wormhole transporter.
