Plot[]
Dinotopia: First Flight[]
Poseidos invades Highnest and captures the Ruby Sunstone. Four Pterosaurs, Zanzibar, Scimitar, Avatar, and Catapult, are captured and brought to the Strutterworks to serve as inspiration for sentient Poseidian machines. The Pterosaurs are freed by Gideon Altaire, who also retrieves the Ruby Sunstone. After being freed, the Pterosaurs fly back to Highnest.
When Gideon reaches Highnest he informs the Pterosaurs that the Poseidians have managed to retrieve the sunstone and an attack on Highnest is imminent. Gideon and some allies help to move the Pterosaur eggs to safe locations deep in the canyons beyond Highnest before preparing for a Poseidian assault. In order to scout for Poseidian forces, the Pterosaurs offer to carry Gideon and his allies into the air. Zanzibar carries the Estemmenosuchus, Budge. Highnest is soon under attack from a Poseidian force, consisting of drones and a great Air Scorpion piloted by Roff Stricker. Gideon and his group manage to bring the Air Scorpion down, saving Highnest and keeping the Ruby Sunstone out of Poseidian control.
