What is the Story of Thunderstone?
The story begins in the year 2020. A boy named Noah Daniels lives with his family and other people in an underground home called North Col. They have to live underground because a comet called Nemesis hit Earth. This caused extreme cold and constant snowstorms, making the surface too dangerous.
All animals on Earth were wiped out by the comet. So, the children in North Col learn about these extinct animals using a special room called a holodeck. One day, something amazing happens! The holodeck accidentally sends Noah into the future.
He lands in a place called Haven. Here, a group of kids known as the Nomads are fighting against an evil leader named Tao and his followers, The Protectors. They are all trying to control a very important blue mineral called thunderstone.
What is Thunderstone?
Thunderstone is the special material that the Nemesis comet was made of. It's a powerful source of energy! It can be used for many things, from making explosives to powering vehicles. But be careful! If two pieces of thunderstone hit each other hard enough, they can break apart.
There's also a special liquid made from thunderstone. If someone drinks it, they can live for a very long time! Because of all its amazing uses, much of the show's plot is about who can get control of the thunderstone supply.
