In the 50th century, Airlandis, the floating city where the surviving humans of the Cataclysm a millennium before live in shelter from the evil mutant Dark Dramen populating the lava- and heath-covered Earth, is held aloft by its generator run by purple "amber" crystals stored by the dragonators who fly the nuclear war's other resultant species. When the latest crystal proves ineffective, their leaders the Dragon Flyz, Z'nith, Summit, Apex, and Peak, children of the previous generation's dragonator Aaron, set out to find replacements. While trying to seize two crystals, Peak's dragon Wing Storm drops him, and he is captured by the lead mutant Dreadwing. He is hung over a lava-pit to trap his siblings and Dram, a Draman friend, when they come to rescue him...if they can even get past Dreadwing's female accomplice Nocturna, the weapons provided by his scientist Gangrin, and the Dark Draman Fryte and his soldiers.

When Summit protests against Joshua's planning to have every dragonator sent out to seek amber since it would leave the city unguarded, he is furious when Josh acts loftily and refuses to listen. While out, Summit sees Nocturna and Fryte meeting with Vydac and tries to spy on them to see what the alliance is about, but is almost shot down. The others are forced to return empty-handed as a result, and Josh blames Summit's detouring and plans to ban him from flying, finally causing him to lose his temper. For shoving him, Summit is ordered to be imprisoned so nobody else will bother standing up against Joshua. The others are forced to leave him behind and take Dram to investigate the issue further, ignoring Josh's order to remain in Airlandis. When they do, they are trapped in a rock-slide shot down over them, and Dreadwing is easily able to invade the city with his and Vydac's Dark Dramen...
