| 1 | "Age of Heroes (Part 1)" | May 25, 2007 (2007-05-25) | 101 |
| The Storm Hawks head to Terra Atmosia to register as an official Sky Knight squadron, only to be rejected because of Aerrow's age. Shortly thereafter, the leader of the Red Eagles, Carver, tries to steal the Aurora Stone, the most powerful crystal in Atmos, from the beaconing tower in Atmosia. Although Aerrow is able to defeat him, things go from bad to worse when Master Cyclonis sends the Dark Ace to finish Carver's mission. Aerrow faces his first battle with the Dark Ace and loses his first battle. Dark Ace then allows Aerrow live so Aerrow could savour his defeat. The Storm Hawks are unable to fend off the fleet of Cyclonians. Aerrow and the Storm Hawks then decide to go to Cyclonia and get the Aurora Stone back from Cyclonis and her machine of evil. | |||
| 2 | "Age of Heroes (Part 2)" | June 1, 2007 (2007-06-01) | 102 |
| With the Aurora Stone stolen, every Sky Knight in Atmos joins forces to retrieve it, only to fail miserably when the Dark Ace uses its power against them. Using the crystal to power her Storm Engine, Master Cyclonis plans to wipe out every terra in Atmos simultaneously. The Storm Hawks mount their own mission to retrieve the crystal, opting to use stealth over brute force. While the rest of his team sneaks in through Cyclonia's many underground passages, Aerrow provides a distraction on the outside, defeating Master Cyclonis' minions one by one, even the Dark Ace. Within the fortress, the team is aided by Starling, a lone Sky Knight who had infiltrated the Cyclonian ranks before the stone was even stolen. Ultimately, Aerrow is forced to destroy the Aurora Stone to stop the Storm Engine, but with Starling's testimony this is considered an acceptable loss. Unfortunately, their age still prevents the Storm Hawks from registering as an official squadron, though this no longer bothers them. | |||
| 3 | "Gale Force Winds" | June 8, 2007 (2007-06-08) | 103 |
| During a scouting mission into the Cyclonian-controlled Terra Gale, the Storm Hawks take on a mission to rescue the granddaughter of an old man from the Cyclonians. When they find her they are forced into rescuing The Rebel Ducks, Terra Gale's imprisoned Sky Knight squadron, as well. The Storm Hawks then battle the Dark Ace and force him to flee the battle when he gets surrounded by the Storm Hawks, The Rebel Ducks and the Condor. The Storm Hawks are then rewarded with a Windstone Crystal by Dove and her grandfather. | |||
| 4 | "The Code" | June 15, 2007 (2007-06-15) | 104 |
| While attempting to procure a Phoenix Crystal from a phoenix nest, the Storm Hawks have their prize stolen by the Rex Guardians. When their leader, Harrier, suggests that the Storm Hawks could always issue a challenge if they have a problem with that, Aerrow gladly agrees in order to show him who runs the better squadron. However, the Storm Hawks find themselves in a bad position to win when faced with the Rex Guardians' insistence on adhering to proper etiquette, and lose the challenge through technicalities, despite their victories. To make things worse, Harrier hands the Phoenix Crystal over to the Dark Ace in an attempt to placate Cyclonia. The Dark Ace, of course, does not honor the deal, and the Guardians quickly discover their honorable traditions do little good against someone who doesn't play by the same rules. When the Storm Hawks succeed where they failed, Harrier agrees to take some pointers from them. | |||
| 5 | "Tranquility Now" | June 18, 2007 (2007-06-18) | 105 |
|
Cyclonians Ravess and Snipe attack Terra Glockenchime, shutting down the time-pulse, the primary navigation signal for every airship in Atmos. At the same time, Finn accidentally drops Junko's knuckle busters into the Wastelands while trying them on, which leads to the revelation that Junko is one of the weaker, smarter Wallops, and he always got picked on as a kid because of this. The loss of his busters causes a massive loss of self-esteem, and hampers his ability to fight when the Storm Hawks go to stop Ravess and Snipe. Junko's faith in himself is rekindled after Snipe calls him a Gleep, a taunt used against him as a child. His confidence restored, Junko knocks Snipe out and restores the time-pulse. At the end of the episode, Finn retrieves Junko's knuckle busters from the Wastelands at great personal risk as an apology. Featured Song: Lizard Love by Aerosmith |

| 6 | "Best Friends Forever" | June 25, 2007 (2007-06-25) | 106 |
| During a storm, Piper is saved by another crystal expert like herself named Lark, and the two become best friends. However, during a recon mission to a Cyclonian crystal mine in the terra tundras, Piper discovers her new friend is Master Cyclonis in disguise, having infiltrated the Storm Hawks in the hopes of turning Piper to her side. Unable to do so, Master Cyclonis uses the mined crystals to turn an entire Talon squadron invisible. Using some unorthodox tactics, the Storm Hawks defeat their invisible assailants, while Piper defeats Master Cyclonis. | |||
| 7 | "The Black Gorge" | July 2, 2007 (2007-07-02) | 107 |
| While taking a shortcut over the Black Gorge, the Storm Hawks are stranded by its crystal-draining energy field. In order to restore power and escape, the Storm Hawks set out for the one spot in the Black Gorge where sunlight can be found for a few seconds each year, in order to power a Solaris Crystal with it. Led by an unwilling Stork and a cute native animal, the Storm Hawks avoid one horrible monster after another until they reach sunlight, only to find that it transforms their animal guide and a herd of creatures like him into massive angry sloths. Fortunately, all the horrors of the gorge are no less hostile to the sloths themselves, allowing the Storm Hawks to escape. | |||
| 8 | "Absolute Power" | July 9, 2007 (2007-07-09) | 108 |
| Aerrow goes off on a secret mission with Starling to Terra Bogaton, leaving Finn in charge of the Condor. While Aerrow and Starling fight off the Raptors to rescue a group of peaceful scientists, Finn goes power-mad and banishes his teammates from the bridge for disobeying his many orders. To teach him a lesson, the others mess with the ship's systems, convincing Finn to relinquish control of everyone and the ship. Their uprising is well-timed: the scientists have a map of Bogaton's supposedly impenetrable air-defense, and Finn's the perfect man to take them all out. While Aerrow escorts the scientists out of Bogaton under cover fire from Finn, Starling battles Repton for the shield belonging to the Interceptors, her former squadron which Repton destroyed. Once the shield is retrieved and the scientists are safe, Aerrow reminds Starling that she's always welcome to join the Storm Hawks. | |||
| 9 | "Velocity" | July 16, 2007 (2007-07-16) | 109 |
| During the annual Great Atmos Race on Terra Saharr for a rare Velocity Amulet, a mysterious rider convinces every contestant to soup up their vehicle with any and every part available, including the vehicles of their friends and even parts from their carriers. As the race begins, the riders are eliminated one by one, with the mysterious rider revealing himself to be the Dark Ace in disguise. Though Aerrow wins the race, the Dark Ace points out that Aerrow now has the only working vehicle on the terra, making the grounded Sky Knights easy pickings for his Talons. While Aerrow tries to hold off the Cyclonian forces on his own, Piper convinces everyone else to work together, cobbling together a massive and heavily-armed gunship from every spare part they have left to repel the Cyclonians. Piper defeats the Dark Ace when she shoots down his skimmer. In order to celebrate their teamwork, Aerrow shatters the Velocity Amulet so every squadron can go home with a piece of it. | |||
| 10 | "Fire and Ice" | July 23, 2007 (2007-07-23) | 110 |
| Repton takes his Raptors to a secret reptile paradise, only to find that the Blizzarians have frozen it over, their previous home having been conquered by the Cyclonians. In order to teach them a lesson, the Raptors begin throwing heat-producing crystals into a nearby volcano, only to be discovered by Stork. Meanwhile, the male members of the Absolute Zeroes offer to do some training with the Storm Hawks, but insist that Piper stay behind with the females of their squadron. Piper quickly discovers that this is not because they look down on her, but in fact seem to think she's the leader, since their squadron leader, Suzi-Lu, is also female. When one of Repton's minions accidentally sets off the volcano, Piper convinces Suzi-Lu to sacrifice her Blizzard Crystal to stop it. With the threat over, the Storm Hawks promise to liberate the Blizzarians' original home, and the Raptors are stranded on a frozen terra with their vehicles melted by the lava. | |||
| 11 | "King For a Day" | July 30, 2007 (2007-07-30) | 111 |
| When the Storm Hawks stumble upon the long lost Terra Vapos, Finn is declared to be the long lost hero of their prophecy, something he couldn't be happier about. However, when he discovers that an army of humanoid bats is stealing all their supplies, he offers to defeat them all by himself, just as the prophecy says. As he leaves, Piper learns that Finn hasn't been given the entire story: Finn isn't supposed to defeat them, he is to be eaten by the head bat. They prepare to go after them, but the people of Vapos, fearing the bats will stop only when Finn is eaten, toss them in jail. Sure enough, Finn is eaten by the bat, but the story doesn't end there. Finn escapes by lighting a flare, then causes a cave-in to trap the bats forever, with Aerrow, having escaped, arriving just in time to fly both of them to safety. With the bats gone, Vapos can become prosperous again. | |||
| 12 | "Terra Deep" | August 13, 2007 (2007-08-13) | 112 |
| While attempting to evade a Cyclonian fleet, the Storm Hawks inadvertently flee into Terra Deep. Realizing their location just a bit too late, they are forced to play a game of Cat and Mouse with the Murk Raiders, ship-raiding pirates. Despite their efforts, the Storm Hawks can't evade the Raiders on their home turf, and the Murk Raiders are successful in boarding their ship. However, the Murk Raiders aren't quite up to the task of subduing a Sky Knight squadron, and are repelled with relative ease. Not willing to give up after such a failure, the Murk Raiders summon two more ships to pursue the Storm Hawks. Luckily for the Storm Hawks, the Murk Raiders find much more appealing targets when led out of Terra Deep, where three massive Cyclonian carriers are waiting to be picked clean. | |||
| 13 | "Storm Warning" | August 20, 2007 (2007-08-20) | 113 |
| During a spy mission on Terra Amazonia, Finn deviates from Piper's step-by-step plan and steals an entire crate of crystals from a group of Cyclonians under Ravess' command. Annoyed, Piper insists that they wouldn't last a day without her, and sets out to prove it by pretending to quit. Stork discovers her trick, and the others do their best to get along just to ruin her plan. However, they fail to realize that the crate Finn stole is full of leech crystals, which are slowly draining the ship of its power and will explode after doing so. Once the drain is nearly complete, Ravess orders an attack on the Storm Hawks to take advantage of their weakness, leaving Piper the only one aware of the true nature of the crystals. With her help, Stork is able to dispose of the crystals while the rest of the team repels Ravess. With both sides convinced that they can't do without one another, the Storm Hawks make up, just in time for Stork to admit that he stored the leechers in Piper's crystal shielder in her room, which now has a nice, big window from the explosion. | |||
| 14 | "A Little Trouble" | September 1, 2007 (2007-09-01) | 114 |
| The Storm Hawks have to babysit Junko's nephew (twice removed), Tynki. Meanwhile, Snipe is building a larger and even more destructive version of a Cyclonian Destroyer, which when completed will allow him to dominate the skies. As they prepare to take it down, Tynki's curiosity combined with his ridiculous Wallop strength make the little child a terror for the Storm Hawks crew. To make matters worse, when they finally begin their mission to disable the battleship, Tynki finds his way on board, innocently wrecking everything he can get his little hands on. However, his spree of destruction turns out to be beneficial, as he inadvertently helps to shut down the ship, causing it to plummet into the Wastelands. | |||
| 15 | "Thunder Run" | September 15, 2007 (2007-09-15) | 115 |
| Junko is taken hostage by a spider-like gangster known as the Colonel, and the Storm Hawks have until sundown to retrieve some "rozen yoga" from the other end of Atmos that will pay the ransom. As they set out on their mission, Junko gets into an eating contest with the Colonel. To give the Condor an extra burst of speed, Finn steals a Velocity crystal from the Raptors, bringing the wrath of Repton down upon them. Dumping parts to lighten the ship similarly angers a group of phoenixes. They even have to pass through Cyclonian territory to make it in time. All of this turns out to be in pursuit of what is actually frozen yogurt, the strange name a result of the Colonel's accent. Furthermore, Junko beats the Colonel at an eating contest, and eats the yogurt when it's delivered. Upset by the trivial goal of their dangerous journey, Piper insults the Colonel and he insists on another mission with an even smaller timeframe. | |||
| 16 | "Escape!" | September 22, 2007 (2007-09-22) | 116 |
| Aerrow and Radarr have to break out of the escape-proof Cyclonian prison on Terra Zartacla. However, with no ride to escape on, and the jail warden Mr. Moss on their tail, such a feat is easier said than done. As they repeatedly avoid Moss and his guards, Moss calls more and more help in to catch them. Radarr manages to fix a broken vehicle left in the trees so they can escape, and Moss realizes that the whole affair was just a distraction to allow the Storm Hawks to break the other prisoners out. | |||
| 17 | "Forbidden City" | September 29, 2007 (2007-09-29) | 117 |
| The Storm Hawks must stop Domiwick, a pompous explorer, from breaking into an ancient city which contains the Oracle Stone, a crystal that can see the future. Braving the many traps, hazards, and Cyclonians, Aerrow eventually finds the stone. There, the Oracle, whose spirit dwells within the stone, shows him the future: the Cyclonians win. However, she offers him the chance to change that future by freeing her. Aerrow does so, and taking the now worthless stone along, he and the Storm Hawks escape the temple, leaving Snipe with nothing. He presents the stone to Piper as a gift. And in this particular episode, Stork even comes along for the trip so he can, "learn much" from the death traps an hazards of the Forbidden City. | |||
| 18 | "Leviathan" | October 6, 2007 (2007-10-06) | 118 |
| When the Condor and Radarr are swallowed by the terra-sized beast known as the Leviathan, the Storm Hawks find themselves unable to fight the beast, forcing them to team up with a reluctant Sky Knight (whose crew and only brother had already been swallowed) to get their home back. Stork, meanwhile, goes into "Sky Shock" after witnessing the Condor being eaten firsthand. With Stork's shock-driven bravery and a replacement ship loaned to them by the Sky Knight, the Storm Hawks are able to get their home back. At the same time, they inadvertently discover how to repel the beast, ensuring that it will never attack any ships again. | |||
| 19 | "Infinnity" | November 7, 2007 (2007-11-07) | 119 |
| The Storm Hawks steal an artifact from Snipe, which Finn inadvertently activates. He soon discovers that it houses a crystal that clones him, which he and his clones use over and over to complete all their chores all over the ship. Before Piper can reverse the effect, Snipe takes the crystal back and creates an army of clones. Using his own pride against him, the Storm Hawks distract Snipe long enough to steal back the crystal and reverse the effect, returning both Snipe and Finn to single versions of themselves. | |||
| 20 | "Terra Neon" | November 30, 2007 (2007-11-30) | 120 |
| During a vacation on Terra Neon, the Storm Hawks discover the normally active carnival terra devoid of life, except for a single place holding auditions for a show. They soon discover that the entire terra has been enslaved by two producers looking for the next big thing, and the Storm Hawks are their latest tryouts. One by one the Storm Hawks are rejected and captured, leaving only Stork, whose "doom" poetry impresses the producers. As the two producers chase down Stork, the Storm Hawks trick them into stranding themselves in the Wastelands. However, while Terra Neon is now free of the producers, the same can't be said for Ravess and her Talons. | |||
| 21 | "The Storm Hawks Seven" | December 3, 2007 (2007-12-03) | 121 |
| Ravess is building a powerful sonic cannon at Polaris Point, an unstable terra in the center of a narrow passage between two quadrants of Atmos. When Starling finds out, she enlists the aid of the Storm Hawks to destroy it. Though they quickly devise a plan, Starling is somewhat disappointed when it comes to mission preparations, as the Storm Hawks "training" consists of little more than foolish games. When it comes time to attack, the Storm Hawks Seven (Aerrow includes Starling in the count) fails to destroy the cannon, which is protected by a shield. Using some clever disguises, Finn's awful guitar music, and some haphazard construction by Stork, the Storm Hawks are able to temporarily nullify Ravess' cannon while Piper and Starling disable the shield, allowing the Storm Hawks to destroy Polaris Point for good. With the threat over, the Storm Hawks surprise Starling with her own room on-board the Condor. Though she's not willing to join up yet, Starling gladly participates in another round of their unique form of training. | |||
| 22 | "Talon Academy" | December 4, 2007 (2007-12-04) | 122 |
| After saving a Talon whose parachute failed, Piper discovers that the pilot is no older than herself. The Storm Hawks discover that the Cyclonians have created training camp. Glamorous advertising on the poster is meant to suggest that being a Talon is "cool", and kids flock to the camp to join. Aerrow, Radarr and Piper join the academy to take it down, using chroma crystals to change their appearance. The camp is led by "Sergeant" Snipe, who Aerrow can't help but continually annoy. During this time, Piper discovers that Cyclonia plans to use these new recruits to wipe out a defenseless terra, while Aerrow convinces them that being a Talon isn't all it's cracked up to be. Upon being discovered, Aerrow and Piper instigate a rebellion. A still-loyal student calls for a team of elite Talons during the commotion, and Aerrow directs the students in a massive aerial battle, which is meant to stall for time until Junko, Finn and Stork arrive. Seeing the bravery of their liberators, the students now want to become Storm Hawks instead. | |||
| 23 | "Siren's Song" | December 5, 2007 (2007-12-05) | 123 |
| The Storm Hawks finds themselves stranded in the Great Expanse, a vast area devoid of life where instruments don't function and navigation is impossible. In recounting how they came to be in their situations, the Storm Hawks discover that they are being preyed upon by a Sky Siren, an illusion-casting witch intent on destroying them. She attempts to use their greatest desires against them, keeping them from escaping. One by one the Storm Hawks fall prey to her powers, but in the end it is Radarr who overcomes her and pilots the ship to safety, the act of doing so having been his greatest desire, driving the condor. | |||
| 24 | "Calling All Domos" | December 6, 2007 (2007-12-06) | 124 |
| While Aerrow, Piper, and Radaar take Junko to the dentist, Finn and Stork are left to their own devices. A bird from Terra Vapos delivers a note to Finn, requesting his assistance, and the two set out to help. When they arrive, King Agar asks them to retrieve a crystal which maintains their very existence. Finn and Stork find that the Murk Raiders have stolen the crystal, so they sneak aboard their ship and steal it back, only to have the Murk Raiders follow them back to Vapos. The pair manage to hold off the Murk Raiders long enough to restore the terra, and Agar pays the Murk Raiders for their trouble with a fortune of gold. However, to the Murk Raiders dismay, the gold turns to dust as soon as they leave the terra, since, as Agar explains, "nothing ever truly leaves Vapos." | |||
| 25 | "The Lesson" | December 7, 2007 (2007-12-07) | 125 |
| Arygyn, a famous trainer of warriors, sneaks onto the Condor under the guise of a bird. Once on the ship, he proceeds to defeat each member of the Storm Hawks, before revealing that he's there to train them. The Cyclonians have received enhancement crystals, and are, alone, more powerful than any single squadron. In an attempt to train the Storm Hawks, Arygyn reserves Terra Neon for the whole day and uses games as training tools. Junko is given an out of control bumper-car ride to learn dexterity. Piper is given an enhanced "Test Your Strength" game to improve her physical abilities. Stork is put on an out of control Mechanical Bull to improve his balance. Finn is given a hyper-charged shooting gallery. Finally, Aerrow is told to board a fast-moving roller coaster. Once they win these games, they leave Arygyn, angry that they didn't learn anything of use. The skills they gained from the games, however, are quite useful against the super-charged Cyclonians, allowing them to achieve victory. | |||
| 26 | "Dude, Where's My Condor?" | December 10, 2007 (2007-12-10) | 126 |
| The Condor goes in for repairs but Finn instead trades it for a "better" model. They quickly discover their new vessel is a lemon, and when they attempt to return it they discover that the Condor has been sold to the Colonel. The Colonel wants to use the Condor to break the airspeed record, and refuses to relinquish it. A race against the Condor meant to win it back predictably ends in failure; it is the fastest ship in Atmos. When the Colonel attempts to try for the airspeed record, the Condor begins to break apart at the seams, its hull unable to take the strain. The Colonel abandons ship, giving the Storm Hawks the chance to stop the ship. When the ship finally stops, it turns out the Condor broke the airspeed record. |

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“The instincts of merry England lingered on here with exceptional vitality, and the symbolic customs which tradition has attached to each season of the year were yet a reality on Egdon. Indeed, the impulses of all such outlandish hamlets are pagan still: in these spots homage to nature, self-adoration, frantic gaieties, fragments of Teutonic rites to divinities whose names are forgotten, seem in some way or other to have survived mediaeval doctrine.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
