Synopsis
Above our clouds, live the Sky Worlds, where strange creatures with the ability to fly, whatever way, live. In the town of Nimbus, a sprawling locale, filled with colourful buildings and windmills, Copter, and his two best friends; Gale and Nelly attend Skyford Middle School. The Mayor of Nimbus is making the town into a CloudPoint, where it will become a hub for tourists. But on one ordinary day, a mysterious storm with the power to destroy was set for Nimbus. With nobody willing to go out of Nimbus out of fears that the storm could get them, Copter, Gale and Nelly, step up to save their town, by going on a journey to find out who conjured the storm.
