Laputa, the city of the sky (2) The little girl Hida is a descendant of the legendary Laputa royal family. It was an aerial civilization that surpassed the civilization on the ground for thousands of years, but somehow, Shu Da's ancestors left the "city of the sky", abandoned the developed science and technology, and lived in seclusion on the ground. One day, however, several unidentified men appeared at her door.

The story begins when flying boat, where Hida was riding, was attacked by pirates in the air. In the struggle, Hida fell from a flying boat at an altitude of 10,000 meters ... PASU, another hero of the story, was an apprentice of a miner pilot. When he got off work that day, he found a shiny thing falling slowly in the sky. What is this? UFO? He flew over and found a lovely girl floating down from the sky surrounded by blue light. ...

The next day, Hida woke up in Bath's room and found a photo of Lapda, the city of the sky. This is the real sky city filmed by Bath's father at the risk of his life, but no one believes him except Bath. So my father died of depression. Bass vowed to prove to others that there really is a city of the sky in the world! [2]

Pirates with a keen sense of smell soon found us. Then there was a dazzling chase scene. Finally, the two men fell into a deep mine in full view, and the flying stones of Hidadai shone again, making them fall safely. In the mine, flying rocks and underground ore are ringing. This used to be the place where raw materials of flying stones were mined, but the technology of extracting flying stones is said to be in Lapda's hands.

As soon as they got out of the mine, they were caught by the army. Hida was taken to the fortress, and a man named Musca showed Hida a huge robot, saying that it fell from the city of the sky, and the technology at that time could not be restarted. That night, Hida read the curse for help circulated by her ancestors, and the flying stones shone, bringing the robot back to life and turning the whole fortress into a sea of fire.

Bass took advantage of the chaos to form an alliance with pirates and flew into the fortress to rescue Hida. In desperation, Hida lost the flying stone, and Musca got the gem, and ordered the army to fly to the city of the sky under the guidance of the holy light on the gem. On the other hand, the pirate mother calculated the location of the city of the sky from Hida's account, and took Hida and her two at full speed on the pirate airship!

When we were about to arrive, a tornado suddenly appeared in front of us, and we met Musca's ships in a narrow way. During the battle, Buzz and Hida's glider were involved in a tornado. This is a land abandoned by God. The horror of nature and the anger of the gods gather here, flying over the thick darkness, passing through the lightning corridor in the roaring lightning, breaking through the boundary between life and death, and the door of fate is opened again in front of the teenagers ... The center of the tornado is the legendary flying island "Lapda, the city of the sky"! This is a quiet paradise, only robots are on duty in the sky, and plants and ancient creatures are home.

Musca caught the pirates and came to Lapda. He forced Hida to enter the central control room with him, started writing on the black stone tablet, and was about to start his ambition to dominate the world. Hida got the flying stone back. In order to stop Musca, she and Buzz read a curse to destroy everything: Barros. Laputa disintegrated, the evil weapon system assimilated into a fireball in the atmosphere and fell into the sea, while the huge flying stone crystal that made Laputa float in the air carried Laputa's tree of life and rose to the end of the sky [3].
