Plot

[edit]

The series begins with an artifact being stolen from a museum by a group of thieves called the Black Hammer Gang. Following their escape, they are pursued by a young girl named Kim who wants to take her father's inventions (which the Black Hammer Gang had stolen) back from them. Kim chases the thieves until both the Black Hammer Gang and Kim fall on a strange island inhabited by fairies and its guardian Michel. The Black Hammer Gang tries to steal the life source of the island (and in essence the universe since the fairies represent nature) called the tree of life. Causing damage to the land and kidnapping the fairies, Michel and Kim have to combat the Black Hammer gang and take back the fairies in order to restore balance to nature.
