Skyland
From Wikiquote
200 years in the future, in the 23rd century, the Earth has shattered into millions of blocks, known as Skyland, which orbit around the core. A new kind of human beings live among the world, people called Seijins, who absorb sunlight to fuel their telekinetic and telepathic abilities as well as their other powers such as sensing the presence of things and people, creating bolts and balls of energy and projecting memories. There is also a prophecy about a Lady of Light, a girl who will become the most powerful Seijin ever, and that will unify Earth alongside an unknown man, but those are fickle things.
The Sphere, a dictatorship, has risen to power by controlling what has become the most precious resource; water. The Sphere's power is enforced by the Guardians, an elite corp of Seijins who are taken from their families at a young age and trained. The leader of the Guardians is Oslo, a Seijin who exposed himself to constant light until he could use his powers in both light and dark, with obvious repercussions on his health. He himself went through the Guardian Academy, training alongside an equally powerful Seijin, called Mila.
A rebellion has also emerged, opposing the Sphere. Rebel pirates steal water to keep the citizens of Skyland alive. One young pilot, wanted for publicly stealing water from right under the Sphere’s nose, is captured by Mila on her first mission.
Shown the world from the pirate’s point of view, Mila finally comes to realize what the Sphere is, and joins the rebellion. She falls in love with Marcus, the pirate, and together they take the rebellion from strength to strength, turning it into a real threat against the Sphere.
But something goes horribly wrong while the Rebels are liberating a Sphere controlled block. Many pirates are killed, Marcus vanishes, and the rebellion is all but destroyed.
Mila takes their two young children, a son named Mahad and a Seijin daughter called Lena, and escapes to Babylonia, in the heart of the Sphere controlled zone. She stays there for 12 years, hiding both her daughter’s and her own Seijin abilities as she raises her children on a small farm.
But Oslo never forgot her, or his fascination for the prophecy. Or his belief that Mila is the Lady of Light and she and him were the ones mentioned in the prophecy, and later, after hearing of Lena's even stronger powers, that she is the Lady of Light and they ( Oslo and Lena) are the ones mentioned in the prophecy. In the year 2251 his Guardians finally locate her. Mila fights back, and sends Mahad and Lena away in a stolen Sphere ship, telling them to join the pirates, before she is taken away to Karzhem, Skyland’s most secure prison, location unknown.
Mahad, a cocky but clumsy 17 year old pilot, and Lena, 12 years old and already a powerful Sejin, are shot down and then rescued by a small group of pirates, lead by the indomitable Captain Cortez. They join the resistance, determined to find their mother, free Skyland, and learn more about the father they barely remember.
But Oslo has plans of his own. To capture Lena and fulfill the prophecy, unifying Skyland.

[edit] Dawn Of A New Day (1.1)
[edit] Mahad
- Leave my family alone!
- Lena, that's amazing!
- Track you down?
- Okay, class. We're almost done. The final lesson comes with a blast!
[edit] Lena
- You're ashamed of me because I'm a seijin!
- I will never be a part of the Sphere. They're theives.
- You remember when dad gave me this doll?
- I know why you steal water from the farmers! To fill up the Sphere Leaders' swimming pools! That's why!
- MOTHER!
- Way to go, Mahad!
[edit] Mila
- Do you want the Sphere to take you away and make you become a Guardian?
- I don't know how he died, Lena. But I do know he loved you and Mahad very very much.
- Brigadiers!
- Go inside the house, Lena.
- Children, stand behind me.
- The Guardians will come for us. Life will never be the same again.
- If the Guardians don't find me here, they'll know I'm in your ship. They'll come after us with an armada. I can't put you in that kind of danger. I won't!
- Never forget how much I love you. We will be together again.
- I'll never be a part of your evil schemes! Why do you think I left the academy in the first place?
[edit] Diwan
- Commander Oslo, a rebellion has been reported on the Babylonia U-27 block. A seijin has whiped out an entire Brigade.
- NO! She's mine!
- We have been notified that a patrol ship has just left the area. A direct violation of your orders.
[edit] Oslo
- No seijin has that kind of power. Except me. Unless... give me the coordinates, Diwan. I'll meet you there.
- At long last we are reunited, Mila. I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time.
- Together, we can bring down the fools that control the Sphere. We could rule the world, you and I.
- So you have children. How wonderful for you. Perhaps you should consider being more cooperative. (rips the doll's head off) For their sake!
- Find her children and bring them to me!
[edit] Brigadiers
- Water tax immediate collection required.
- No resistance will be tolerated.
- Attack from unregistered Seijin.
[edit] Conversations
- Hanako: You're even crazier than I thought!
- Mahad: You love it and you know it!
- Hanako: Remind me again why I hang out with you?
- Mahad: 'Cause I'm the best.
- Mahad: What happened, Shoomdai? You take a wrong turn?
- Shoomdai: Okay, Mahad. You're the best pilot in school. For now.
- Lena: It's all my fault! I shouldn't have insulted the Brigadiers.
- Mahad: No it isn't. I'm the one who attacked first!
- Mila: Nither of you are to blame.
- Lena: Stop the ship, Mahad!
- Mahad: I can't! She's controlling it with her powers!
- Lena: Is that what they taught you in pilot school?
- Mahad: No, but now you know why I was getting so many detentions.
- Diwan: Was this your doing?
- Mila: Why yes. They look better in pieces, don't you think?
- Diwan: Trust me, you'll pay for this.
- Oslo: So, you left the Guardian Academy to come and live in this miserable place?
- Mila: No. I left to avoid becoming like you: a Guardian bent on imposing the Sphere's terriny on innocent people.
- Mila: Where are you taking me?
- Oslo: To a secret place. Where traitors like you are sent to spend the rest of their days.
- Mila: Kharzem Prison.
- Oslo: Precisely. You will be our guest there for as long as you refuse to cooperate or until you are no longer useful. Whichever comes first.
- Mila: That's impossible... there's no light in here!
- Oslo: Impossible for you, prehaps. I have modified my body by sleeping in light day and night. My powers are now boundless and ever present.
- Mila: Have you lost your senses, Oslo? No one can asorb that much energy. Your powers will just eat you away from the inside.
- Wayan: Locked on target, captain.
- Cortes: Stand by for intructions.

[edit] Mahad
- Uh-oh. We've got company.
- Maybe if I stick close to the big guy, maybe those pests will stop shooting at us.
- AAAH!
- Dahlia. Is that Spanish or Italian?
- Let me fly this ship and watch a REAL pilot in action!
- This place gives me the creeps...
- I'm the son of a hero!
- Don't fail me now. (kisses boomerang)
- (catches boomerang) Am I good or what?
[edit] Lena
- I can't contact that ship!
- He left me something to remember him by. My doll. Thelia!
- Thank you, Vector.
[edit] Mila
- I'd rather spend the rest of my days in Kharzem's darkest cell.
- You will never capture Lena. You hear me? My children will defeat the Sphere and you! It's their destiny, Oslo!
[edit] Cortes
- Guardians are no friend of mine!
- That's one less Sphere ship for us to deal with. Call back the Mosquitoes.
- I told you a thousdand times before. Never say the name of our block in front of strangers! Cheng, please tell your friend, The Vector, what's going on here. I haven't the patience!
- The Hyperion!
- Well, looks like we have ourselves a couple of new crew members. Prepare the landing sight for the Hyperion.
[edit] Diwan
- So we have powers, do we? Pretty impressive for someone so young. You want to play? Alright, let's see what you're made of.
- Looks like you've run out of room, young lady.
- You brats, I'll get you soon!
[edit] Oslo
- Kharzem Prison. Welcome to your new home.
- If your daughter is the lady of light from the prophecy... Then she and I will rule together.
[edit] Conversation
- Mahad: That's a Pirate ship!
- Lena: You think they'll know this Vector guy?
- Mahad: Are you kidding? They're pirates! They might have even known Marcus Farrell!
- Mahad: Why are they shooting at us?
- Lena: Because we're in a Sphere Patrol ship, genius!
- Cheng: Shouldn't we rescue the survivors, sir? That was a young girl's voice.
- Cortes: It's obviously a Sphere trap.
- Cheng: She didn't sound like a Guardian to me.
- Dahlia: I'm detecting Sphere Patrollers approaching.
- Cortes: See? It IS a trap. Head west, Wayan.
- Cheng: I hope you're right. 'Cause if not, we would have left a little girl all alone. On this icy block.
- Cortes: (sighs) Turn around, Wayan. we're going to pick her up... I don't know why I listen to you.
- Cheng: I didn't say anything.
- Lena: Thank you so much for bringing us on board.
- Mahad: Especially since we were shot down by one of your trigger happy- (Lena covers his mouth)
- Brigadier: The Patrol ship is empty.
- Diwan: Search the surroundings. They couldn't have gone far.
- Vector: Mila knew Oslo would find her again one day. That's why she sent you to me.
- Cortes: You don't look like a baby sitter to me.
[edit] The Great Wall (1.3)
[edit] Mahad
- Don't forget, Little Phoenix. I'm the one who has to face Cortes if things go wrong.
- Speaking of the Sphere, we're being followed by three ships. It looks like S-22s!
- AHH! Oh, it's just a kite.
- Hang on for the landing!
- That was a blast!
- Did you know that they've nicknamed me 'Keeper of The Front Guard' and that they call you 'Keeper of The Rear Guard'?
- Way to go, little sister!
- I should have listened to Cortes! Even if we do get out of here alive, he's going to KILL me when we get home!
- Imagine being trapped for years. Totally silent. And when I think how hard I made it for her.
[edit] Lena
- The Vector's got visitors today.
- Lil' Pheonix hears you.
- Yeah, not bad!
- Good bye, Lee! I think Ningxia has found a great new master.
[edit] Cortes
- MAHAD! Who do you think you are tangling with a Sphere squadrum just three miles from Puerto Angel? I forbid you to leave here again without my permission! Understood?
- Dahlia, open the hatch. We're taking Mahad and Lena off that block. Wayan, deploy the Mosquitoes!
[edit] Oslo
- Diwan, I told you not to do anything until I got here. I am VERY disappointed in you. I thought my orders were clear.
- We have lost our opportunity. I blame you, Diwan.

[edit] Conversation
- Lena: Hey, Cheng.
- Cheng: Ugh, these headphones feel like I'm wearing vice-grips. I swear my ears have trippled in size...
- Mahad: I know I can be a pain sometimes but...
(Lena is shown levitating upward in a seijin orb)
- Mahad: It's just that when you're next to me...
- Dahlia: Yes?
(Lena is shown in the same scene, only in an overhead view) (Mahad and Dahlia are moving closer)
- Dahlia: You should just be yourself... You don't have to show off and brag.
(Mahad and Dahlia were just inches away from a kiss when Mahad's attention is grabbed by Lena)
- Wayan: You have a right to show off, for once.
- Cortes: Don't encourage him. Nice to have you back safe and sound.
- Dahlia: It's good to be back in one piece.
- Cortes: You and the kid make a good team.
- Mahad: Hah! I'm not taking any girls with me any more. All they ever want to do is flirt and kiss me. It's impossibe to fly under those conditions.
- Cortes: Dahlia, don't throw him overboard. I need all hands on deck today. Mind waiting until tomorrow?
- Dahlia: I'll be counting down the minutes!
(Dahlia chases after Mahad)
- Mahad: See what I mean!?
[edit] Mutiny (1.7)
[edit] Conversation
- Jelola: Wake up, you lazy lump! We're on the Saint Nazaire. That means that Lena, the rebel seijin with a price on her head, is on board.
- Artemis: Lena?
- Cortes: He better be careful! If he so much as scratches my ship, I'll-
- Brigadeir: (walks in, interupting Cortes) Prisoners much remain silent. You may not speak.
- Cortes: Who's going to stop us, you metal plated freak!?
[edit] Manipulations (1.8)
[edit] Conversation
- Oslo: Don't challange me! You know you don't stand a chance.
- Dahlia: You don't scare me anymore! Lena was right. This is my house and I'm kicking you out!
- Dahlia: Ask me a question.
- Mahad: Alright. Something private. Something, only we as a couple, could possible know about.
- Dahlia: (scoffs) Dreamer!
- Mahad: Wow, it IS you!
[edit] King For A Day (1.9)
[edit] Conversation
- Cheng: We can play catch. You can throw me your boomerang.
- Mahad: It's a boomerang, Cheng. It comes back on its own.
- Cheng: Right...
- Mahad: Boring, boring, BO-RING!
- Mahad: Cortes treats me like a kid.
- Lena: Because you act like a kid.
- Mahad: Nice! Thanks a lot...
- Mahad: Attention crew! Captain on deck. What? No solute for your leader?
- Dahlia: This can't be happening... This is a nightmare.
- Mahad: I knew it! You dream about me.
[edit] Red Rock People (1.10)
[edit] Conversation
- Cortes: MAHAD! Are you totally off your rocker? Attacking an entire brigadier squad. You're lucky you both escaped alive!
- Mahad: Yeah, did you see it? I blew them all to bits!
- Cortes: And what if a spy patroller had followed you back? You're putting all of Puerto Angel in danger because of all your mindless probottle! I forbid you to leave here again without my permission.
- Mahad: You're not my father!
- Cortes: And neither are you! Your father was a born leader. Not some kid who wanted to show off.
- Mahad: Well, what do we have here? Oslo, helpless?
- Lena: Oh, it looks like he used up all his powers to soften the crash.
- Oslo: Don't just stand there. Help me get out!
- Mahad: You hear how he's talking to us?
- Lena: Yeah, what nerve.
- Mahad: I think he needs to learn some manners.
(Mahad and Lena begin to walk out)
- Oslo: Come back! You've got to get me out of here. Mila wouldn't leave me to die like this. And I'm the only one who can take you to her.
(Mahad marches back to Oslo)
- Mahad: Don't you dare talk about my mother! I'm not falling for your tricks, Oslo. Come on, we're leaving.
- Lena: We can't.
- Mahad: ... Lena, what are you saying?
- Lena: Oslo's right. Mother would never let anyone die without trying to help them.
(Lena levitates the I-beam off Oslo's leg while Mahad groans in the background) (Oslo stands up, but with a limp in his left leg)
- Mahad: Alright! But if it were up to me, you'd still be under that mess.
- Oslo: If I had my powers right now, I'd-
- Lena: Please, stop! We both just crashed our ships. Do you really think it's time to fight?
- Oslo: You'd be better off listening to your little sister, Mahad.
- Oslo: Ten kilometers. I'll never make it that far with my leg like this. I'll wait for you here.
- Mahad: So you can radio your fleet and set a trap for us? Forget it. You're coming with us!
- Oslo: (stands up) Fine! But I'll need help walking. (holds his hand out to Mahad)
- Mahad: You've got to be kidding!
(Mahad is helping Oslo walk across the landscape)
- Mahad: (groan) I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I wish you had your powers right now.
[edit] Babylonia (1.11)

(Mahad and Lena are playing chess in the tavern)
- Lena: You can finish your turn any time this year.
- Mahad: You can't rush genius. I'm thinking. (moves a game peice) There..
- Lena: Finally.
(A waitress walks up to the table)
- Mahad: Oh hey! (hands her two water containers) Is it possible to get two more of these please?
(Lena uses her powers to move the game peices while Mahad's not looking)
- Cortes: We're your family now.
- Cheng: Not my real family. If you were my real family, you wouldn't be so mean to me! (runs out)
- Cheng: I know you... You're-
- Tibald: I am Tibald Yee. And judging by the striking resemblence to your father, you must be my grandson. Cheng.
(Cheng runs up and hugs Tibald)
- Diwan: Commander Oslo, I have just been to Tibald's lab. He is months behind schedule on the defence system.
- Oslo: I have received reports of unmanned patrollers flying unauthorized missions from there. Six in the past two days alone.
- Diwan: Can we asume they are part of his research?
- Oslo: No. All testing is conducted exclusively within Sphere territory. He's sending them out to the far corners of the Archipelago. He's up to something.
- Diwan: I'll never trust him.
- Oslo: Go back to his lab. Tell him I will arive in 24 hours for a full demonstration of the defence systems.
- Diwan: It will be my pleasure.
- Oslo: Do not enjoy yourself too much. Nothing can happen to Tibald. He is too valuable.
- Diwan: Yes, Commander.
[edit] Life In Puerto Angel(AKA Max) (1.13)

[edit] Conversation
- Lena: Wait... You're a good brother, you know? As far as brothers go...
- Mahad: And you're a good sister. Even though being a seijin makes you worry to much.
- Lena: He won't make it to Puerto Angel, Mahad. We need to take him where he wanted to go. He must've been going there for a reason. (looks down at the unconsious Oslo) I think he's dying.
- Mahad: What are you doing? You're giving him some of your energy, are you nuts!?
- Lena: He'll die if I don't.
- Oslo: So, finally we are together.
- Lena: If I were you, I'd save my strength. You're not getting any more from me!
- Oslo: Take me to Vandergaard...
- Mahad: You're not giving the orders around here, Oslo.
- Oslo: Take me to Darius!
- Baldr: Yes, master?
- Darius: My brother is coming.
- Baldr: Oslo is coming here?
- Darius: Yes. Prepare the light room.
- Oslo: Light chamber...
- Mahad: How's he doing?
- Lena: Barely conscious. He's just repeating the same things over and over.
- Darius: Our mother died when we were young boys. We both owe it to her memory to live.
- Oslo: Remember our mother, Darius?
- Darius: She died so that we both might live.
- Baldr: You evil- (Went to lunge after Oslo, but is stopped by Darius)
- Darius: My brother and I were born just minutes apart. Oslo was the first. If I wasn't born just after him, he would be even more powerful than he is today.
- Lena: You don't know that.
- Oslo: Without my brother, the seijin energy drained by his weaker vessel would've stayed with me. Where it truly belongs.
- Baldr: Darius is a living reminder of Oslo's own weakness. That is why he keeps him here in exile.
- Mahad: But Oslo is not weak. I mean he's sick now, but-
- Baldr: For Oslo, anything but ultimate power is weakness.
- Cortes: Mahad, we are approaching the coordinates. What is your status?
- Mahad: The status is, I've got to get this baby fired up!
- Darius: Oslo... What have I done to my brother?
- Oslo: (struggles to his feet) My power. I'm back; stronger than ever... (erupts in blue flame) 'til we meet again! Muhuhahaha!

- Christophe: Nothing like family to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

(Lena opens the closet doors and the hiding Alice flinched)(Lena closes the doors)
- Lena: Nope.
- Diwan: I thought you showed so much promise, but I was wrong. You're only good for office work at the other side of Skyland.
- Alice: I will be committed to my work where ever you station me. Believe me.

- Mahad: A dream is not real, Lena. Except when I dream about Dahlia, of course.
- Dahlia: Dreaming about you would be called a nightmare.
- Lena: I think I know how to find your mother.
- Spencer: Really?
- Mahad: You don't have to be a seijin to know what you're thinking. The answer's no!
- Lena: Who's keeping you prisoner?
- Shinseiki: Prisoner? You are my honoured guests.
- Shinseiki: The blocks are talking to me... We have guests... Uninvited guests! I loath the unexpected!
- Mahad: We need a plan.
- Dahlia: Not really. We're drifting directly toward the tower.
- Mahad: Well, that's as good a plan as any.
- Shinseiki: Want to give up?
- Dahlia: I haven't even warmed up!
- Mahad: (in a bubble) Hey, what's going on? Let me out of this thing!
