The Sky Is On Fire is an episode of the Centurions animated television series originally aired on April 7th, 1986.

Synopsis

Doctor Terror sent Hacker and several Doom Drones Traumatizers to sneak into the Oceania Research Station about the time it was being visited by the Centurions to observe a powerful cryogenic freeze ray. Thanks for help from Amber, who was disguised as the admiral's assistant Susan Smith, they stole the ray. Even with the help of the Wild Weasel, Sky Knight and Cruiser Assault Weapons Systems the evil Hacker and amber escaped with the ray in submarines. Doctor Terror then launches a fleet of Doom Drones Strafers equipped with plasma warheads to ignite the Val Allen belt. The resulting magnetic storm knocked the aircraft carrying the Centurions out of the sky and into the ocean. They were saved when Skyvault beamed Max Tidal Blast, and he was able to carry the wrecked plan to New York City. Doctor Terror issued an ultimatum that unless the world delivered a document of surrender to him within 12 hours he would not use the ray to save the world. The World Council voted to submit to Terror's plan, but it was delivered by Max Ray on Terror's sky ship, disguised as the World Council president. When Terror learned Max's identity he dropped Max out of the ship. Although the Centurions lost Terror, Max theorized that would could find Terror by calculating the perfect location for the ray to be fired, which Crystal calculated to be the mountains of Tibet. When the Centurions arrived they were greeted by Hacker and Terror, who took their wrist communicators and imprisoned the Centurions. Max used wire from his bed springs to conduct lightning and knock down the door on their cell. The Centurions were able to get to a communications counsel and sent off a signal to Skyvault just as they were discovered. Crystal sent them Cruiser, Sky Knight and Fireforce. With the Centurions gaining the upper hand, Terror, Hacker and Amber escaped in a secret tunnel and set the mountain to explode behind them. Escaping with the ray, Ace used Orbital Interceptor to fly into the belt and used it's own energy to power the way that put out the fire. Jake then celebrated by making his famous chili. Ace celebrated by doing an educational video on Saturn's rings.
