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

Synopsis

Doctor Terror sends Hacker and several Doom Drones Traumatizers to sneak into the Oceania Research Station while it is being visited by the Centurions to observe a powerful cryogenic freeze ray. Thanks for help from Amber, who is disguised as the admiral's assistant Susan Smith, they steal the ray. Even with the help of the Wild Weasel, Sky Knight and Cruiser Assault Weapons Systems the evil Hacker and amber escape with the ray in submarines. Doctor Terror launches a fleet of Doom Drones Strafers equipped with plasma warheads to ignite the Val Allen belt. The resulting magnetic storm knocks the aircraft carrying the Centurions out of the sky and into the ocean. They are saved when Skyvault beams Max Tidal Blast, and he is able to carry the wrecked plan to New York City. Doctor Terror issues an ultimatum that unless the world delivers a document of surrender to him within 12 hours he will not use the ray to save the world. The World Council vote to submit to Terror's plan, but it is delivered by Max Ray on Terror's sky ship, disguised as the World Council president. When Terror learns Max's identity he drops Max out of the ship. Although the Centurions loose Terror, Max theorizes that can find Terror by calculating the perfect location for the ray to be fired, which Crystal calculates to be the mountains of Tibet. When the Centurions arrived they are greeted by Hacker and Terror, who take their wrist communicators and imprison them. Max uses wire from his bed springs to conduct lightning and knock down the door on their cell. The Centurions are able to get to a communications counsel and send off a signal to Skyvault just as they are discovered. Crystal sends them Cruiser, Sky Knight and Fireforce. With the Centurions gaining the upper hand, Terror, Hacker and Amber escape in a secret tunnel and set the mountain to explode behind them. Escaping the explosion with the ray, Ace uses Orbital Interceptor to fly into the belt and use the belt's energy to power the ray that puts out the fire. Jake celebrates by making his famous chili. Ace celebrates by doing an educational video on Saturn's rings.
