Overview
Lana has a premonition about an Industrian attack on High Harbor, a message she is sure was sent by her grandfather.

Meanwhile, Orlo is visited by Dyce, who has tired of life on land and wants to set out to sea again. Dyce convinces Orlo to help fix the Barracuda, in return for Dyce helping to kill Conan and Jimsy. But at the very moment the deed is to be committed, Industrian troops under Monsley launch an attack against High Harbor.

Episode 15: Wasteland
As they reach the mountain, Conan and Jimsy are attacked and captured by Orlo's anarchist gang. They make a deal that Orlo will forget about his lost pig, if they can prove that they really brought it down by defeating another one of his boars. Using cleverness and teamwork, they succeed, and Jimsy decides to work for Orlo; but when Oslo's sister Tera tries to steal a goat from Tito, a herder from another village on the other side of the island, Jimsy quits. Just as matters begin to get ugly, Lana, who has noticed Conan and Jimsy's absence, arrives and gives a memento of her mother, a valuable necklace, to compensate for the lost pig.
Episode 17: Battle
Conan and Jimsy, who have escaped Orlo's attempt on their lives, scout out the Industrian ship, while Lana warns the village about the incursion. Orlo's men try to fight the invaders but are defeated. After rescuing Tera, Conan, Jimsy and Dyce hurry to the village to help the villagers organize their defense. By landing on the wrong side of the island, Monsley has lost the element of surprise, but Orlo and his men switch sides for Industria, infiltrate High Harbor's defenses and betray them from within. Lana is knocked out by a cannon blast, and when Conan sees Jimsy's pet piglet, which was entrusted to Lana, arrive on its own, he immediately rushes to save her.

Episode 14: A Day on the Island
Conan, Jimsy, and Lana go to Windmill Village, High Harbor's industrial district. After taking a brief tour, Conan and Jimsy decide they will go fishing and hunting to earn their daily bread. While fishing, Conan meets Mr. Gull, who takes care of the village fish preserve, and begins working for him. Jimsy meanwhile is chased by and kills a massive wild boar when they both fall over the edge of a cliff. He butchers and cooks the pig, and brings it back to the village for the people to eat. The victory is short-lived, however, since the pig was not wild but belonged to Orlo. After learning of this, Conan and Jimsy go to Orlo to take responsibility.
Episode 18: Gunboat
Conan saves Lana from Industria's soldiers but gets knocked out; Lana manages to hide him before she gets captured and taken aboard the gunboat.

To deprive them of their only means of support, Conan and Gil, the only villager to escape, prepare to sink the gunboat with explosives. But after planting the charge, Conan learns that Lana is aboard and boards the vessel to retrieve her, but ends up captured. After tricking the crew into taking him out of his cell, the charge detonates, sinking the ship and allowing Conan to rescue Lana from her cell.

Lao drops the children off on the Baracuda and heads back to Industria in order to aid its citizens against the impending cataclysm. The Barracuda proceeds to High Harbor, where the local residents initially meet the ship with hostility until Lana is able to explain that the crew has joined their side now. While the Barracuda crew is allowed to disembark from their damaged ship, Lana gives Conan and Jimsy a tour of the island, thereby encountering Orlo, the overjoyous villagers and Lana's aunt and uncle. After hearing her story, Conan and Jimsy are allowed to stay.

With the gunboat gone, Monsley decides to repair the Barracuda and use it in its place, while Orlo's gang is sent out to find Conan.

When the island's animals begin to act strangely, Lana knows that another earthquake is about to happen, and rushes to warn the villagers. When Orlo stops her, Lana telepathically informs Conan that a tidal wave is coming. Conan warns everybody, and they all run to higher ground as the wave rushes in. With the Barracuda stranded atop the island's forest by the flood, the soldiers give up and the villagers win the war.

Luke, the leader of the prisoners, leads Conan and Jimsy to the Core Block, but Lepka and his soldiers arrive there as well. With the help of the ex-prisoners, Conan's group escapes the Core Block and heads to High Harbor, with Dyce and his crew joining them along the way.

After letting Lana, Dyce, and Jimsy disembark, Conan and Monsley distract the Falcon by leading it away from their friends.

When another earthquake occurs, Lao begins to surmise that the Earth's crust is breaking up, heralding yet another cataclysm.

However, Monsley has had time to inform Lepka that Lao is back in Industria.

They eventually come across Luke and his friends, and learn from them that Dr. Lao managed to make a deal with the High Council to evacuate Industria, but they were all detained by Lepka, who subsequently appointed himself dictator. Monsley witnesses Lepka viciously torturing Lao and ruthlessly planning to flush Lana out of hiding by flooding the entire underground residential area. When she tries to persuade him to follow Dr. Lao's advice, but Lepka stubbornly refuses to follow a more peaceful path, Monsley openly turns against Lepka and helps Conan escape. But before she can accompany Conan, she gets shot, forcing Conan to leave her behind.

However, an earthquake hits the desert island; Patch goes down and gets trapped beneath the ship, and Conan rescues him.

Knowing that Industria will send forces to capture them, Lao, Conan, and Lana escape in a small lifeboat.
Episode 22: Rescue
Conan descends to the residential area to rescue Lana. After overhearing Lepka's intentions to flood the caverns, he attempts to defuse the bombs used to create the flooding breach, but is unsuccessful. Lana gives herself up to save the residents; but after she is back in his hands, Lepka seals the exit anyway, leaving the people to drown. When he takes Lana to her grandfather, however, he is forced to learn that Dr. Lao has gone numb and blind from his tortures, rendering further threats against him useless, so he tries to force Lana to contact him by threatening to plunge her off the Triangle Tower. In the meantime Conan rejoins Dyce and Jimsy, and they exit the caverns through a flooded earthquake fissure, where they rescue Monsley, who was about to be executed. They manage to open the main shutter to the caverns, and the residents storm the Triangle Tower.
