Siren's Song

"Siren's Song" is the twenty-third episode of Storm Hawks.
==Description==
Trapped in The Great Expanse, the Storm Hawks face a new foe: a mysterious Sky Siren and her dangerous power—she can make them see whatever she wants them to. They'll have to outsmart her if they want to escape a giant sucking whirlpool, and that means resisting the things they each want the very most.
==Plot==
The Storm Hawks find themselves stranded in the Great Expanse, a vast area devoid of life where instruments lost function and navigation is impossible. In the Condor, Aerrow checks up on the rest of the squadron to try boost their morale. Over a dinner of Merb cabbages, the Storm Hawks decided to lay out a trail of navigation markers to try leave the Great Expanse, only for them to return back to where they started. It is at this point where Junko burst out in tears, claiming that he was responsible in putting the squadron into trouble. Despite hearing his account on what happened that led the Storm Hawks to the Great Expanse, no one else agreed and instead claimed the responsibility themselves, sharing their side of the story:
*Junko was meditating when he saw his favourite fast food chain. He flies over to the restaurant, only to find it closed, before getting himself lost.
*Aerrow was ambushed by Dark Ace, and goes out to pursue his arch-enemy. Soon, the latter disappears, and Aerrow ends up in the Great Expanse along with the Condor.
*Piper was arranging her collection of philosopher busts when she detected the presence of a very rare crystal. She flies to the location of the crystal, but does not see the crystal itself.
*Finn was sunbathing on the Condor. Then a girl from Terra Amazonia approaches and wants him to join a beach party. He follows the girl, who speeds up on him before disappearing.
*Stork saw an air truck selling an anti-mind worm helmet. He tries to go after the truck, only for it to vanish.
*None of the squadron knows exactly what Radarr's story was.
Piper sees the similarity of all their stories; going after their deepest desires. She narrows down the source of their illusions to a Sky Siren, an illusion-casting witch intent on destroying them. Soon they find one on board the Condor, who tries to cast an illusion of them escaping out of the Great Expanse. The Storm Hawks fall to the illusion, which led the Condor into a vortex. Although they manage to slingshot their way out of the vortex, the Sky Siren appears again and attempts to use their greatest desires against them by trapping them in waking dreams, keeping them from escaping. She attempts to use their greatest desires against them by trapping them in waking dreams, keeping them from escaping.
Despite their initial resistance, the Sky Siren creates a more powerful illusion against the Storm Hawks; Junko being attacked by sentient burgers, Finn surrounded by several girls, Stork resisting the use of the helmet to ward off mind worms, Piper losing possession of the Helix Crystal to Master Cyclonis, and Aerrow being attacked by the Cyclonians. But in the end it is Radarr who overcomes her and pilots the ship to safety (with the Storm Hawks waking up, having been lying on the floor asleep the whole time), the act of doing so having been his greatest desire, piloting the Condor.
