The New Tomorrow

Sky, an enigmatic and mysterious traveller, notices Dan, (an Ant tribe member), being captured in the forest by two Warps (a rival tribe). Dan eventually introduces his newfound friend to other members of the Ant tribe and Sky is welcomed by most of the tribe, but not everyone accepts a stranger into their home basecamp.

Conflict arises in the Ant tribe after the raid on their village. They find a Barb arrow in their fields. Some members wish to counter attack whilst others think not. Sky suggests sending a messenger to arrange a meeting, preferring peaceful negotiations to any physical clash - and Dan sneaks out to go to travel to the Barb camp. But can he be trusted?

Sky pursues Dan but both get caught in a Barb trap and are taken prisoner. In the Barb camp they meet the warrior queen, Zora, and attempt to arrange a meeting of reconciliation between the Barbs and Ants. Meanwhile, the Privileged tribe is revealed to be the real threat.

After running away from the Ant tribe, Dan finds himself alone in the forest. Zora tries to contain her second-in-command, who doesn't trust Sky. At the Ant camp, Omar is happy that Sky and Dan have both left. In the Privileged tribe, Shadow prepares the Warps, for an attack on the Ant camp. Shadow advises that they will be ready in a week but Flame wants the attack to happen the next day.

During his strict training process, Flame searches for a suitable sparring partner as preparations continue for the attack on the Ant tribe. Gwyn tries to settle into her life as a Privileged but can't help missing her brother. The Ants learn that the Warps have tricked them. Cass and Omar try to convince a reluctant Faygar to meet with Zora. Dan attempts to join the Barbs.

The morning after his fight with Flame, Sky awakens in a cave and finds some artifacts and ancient etchings in the stone, including one of a teardrop that he recognizes. Meanwhile, Flame, furious that Sky beat him, wallows in misery. Faygar decides to visit Zora. Dan joins the Barb tribe.

At the Ant camp Faygar assures Omar that bringing the tribes together will work out. Zora tries to do the same with Jag at the Barb camp. Despite warnings and the dangers of the machines, Dan wanders into the forbidden zone. The Ants and the Barbs form an uneasy alliance which is put under strain as they attempt to get to know each other.

The Ants and Barbs compete to decide whether Omar or Jag will lead their warriors. Sky investigates the cave and the forbidden zone. Flame is haunted by his loss to Sky. Harmony suggests they send out a spy and Gwyn is chosen under the disguise of being a Privileged emissary.

Dan is reunited with his long lost sister, Gwyn, while out hunting with Erin. Zora welcomes her and asks her to share information on the Privileged. After being elected leader, Sky tries to straighten everything out by creating a defense system with the help of Kwarli. And Flame's desire for information about Sky rages on - and on.

A storm is approaching. Sky and Faygar journey to the cave to investigate Sky's discovery but Faygar doesn't like what she finds. Gwyn files her first spy report to Shadow. Leanne and Sal attempt to bake bread. And Erin wishes he didn't try to get out of the daily chores as his fascination and fear of the machines and forbidden zone is forever present.

After the Ant camp is damaged by an out of control machine, the hens have run away. Sal tries to keep the eggs warm. Sky and Omar leave to track down the rampaging machine and to try somehow to disable it before it does any more damage. Dan attempts to recruit Gwyn to the Barb tribe but not everyone is welcoming. Shadow and Harmony both spy on one another for Flame.

After realizing that they have both been so suspicious of each other, Harmony and Shadow consider teaming up, believing that they both have a lot in common. At the Barb camp Dan wonders whether Gwyn truly wants to be a Barb or not. Sky worries if he is a descendant of the ancient ancestor, Zoot - the source of much frightening folklore.

Omar and Kwarli return from trying to find Sky and Faygar. Omar and Jag put aside their differences in order to work together. Shadow and Harmony bully Sky and Faygar. Harmony reveals the Privileged have a spy at the Ant camp. And Shadow is sent to deliver a message.

Zora moves the Barbs to the Ants' camp. Some Ants aren't too happy to have new neighbors. Flame instructs the invincible Shadow to fight Sky in hand to hand combat, so everyone can witness Sky's real weaknesses. Kwarli discovers an old contraption in the Ant camp which he believes was once called a bicycle, and Erin is intrigued by the notion that it could be a descendent of an ancient machine.

Flame is optimistic but clearly uneasy in reality as he replaces Shadow as an opponent for hand to hand combat with Sky. In the Ant camp Zora spearheads a plan for new defences for the camp. But her bossiness isn't going down well with many of the Ant tribe. And Dan believes Gwyn has been captured by the Warps.

Sky, Faygar and Gwyn continue their work with the Discards while remaining prisoners at the Privileged stronghold. In the Ant camp tensions rise as Cass and Omar are unhappy about sharing the camp with the Barbs. Erin falls in love with Kwarli's bike and causes havoc as he struggles to learn how to use it.

Zora is alarmed that discipline within the tribe is in decline when she wakes to find the camp deserted and members of the tribe lazily fast asleep in bed. As a punishment she forces everyone to work without breakfast. Sky discovers that the Discard's attitude towards him has changed after a rumor that he's descended from Zoot. The Ants and Barbs continue building their defenses.

The Ants and Barbs prepare for the pass ball game with the Privileged. Harmony and Shadow are unhappy that Flame has agreed to play against the Ants and Barbs because losing isn't an option. Faygar, Gwyn and Sky discuss the rumors involving Sky. And a stranger arrives at the Ant camp.

The Ants and Barbs celebrate their victory against the Privileged and ponder what to do about Flame who is now held, prisoner. Shadow is brought into the Discard camp by Warp guards and Sky discusses escaping. 'Things' begin to go missing in the Ant camp, including Erin's bike, and the Stranger continues to furtively observe all the inhabitants.
