Storm Hawks - Episode 04 "The Code" (3 parts)

While attempting to procure a phoenix crystal from a phoenix nest, the Storm Hawks have their prize stolen by the Guardians. When their leader, Harrier, insists on a challenge, 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 Guardians' insistence on adhering to proper etiquette, and lose the challenge through technicalities, despite their victories.

-Finn lost for defacing the symbol of their terra and failed to salute in a skywriting contest (made it look like it had spikey hair and was breathing fire)

-Stork lost the building contest (where he had to build a working skyride from spare parts) because, despite the fact that he completed it in seconds, he made unauthorized modifications (the crystal converter is also a sonic scrambler), and didn't wash his hands.

-Piper's sky-fu (like kung-fu) exhibition tied with the Guardian's champion, but Piper claimed that due to non-regulation attire of the Guardian, she was the real winner. The judges agree, and the Storm Hawks take their first victory.

-Aerrow soundly defeated Harrier in a jousting competition. However, because he abandoned his ride and wasn't wearing regulation dueling armor, Aerrow was penalized ten seconds, meaning the challenge went to the Guardians.

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.
