Storm Hawks - Episode 11 "King For a Day" (3 parts)

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.

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 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.

Storm Hawks - Episode 09 "Velocity" (3 parts)

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. In order to celebrate their teamwork, Aerrow shatters the Velocity Amulet so every squadron can go home with a piece of it.

Storm Hawks - Episode 08 "Absolute Power" (3 parts)

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 terracon 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.
