Tranquility Now

"Tranquility Now" is the fifth episode of Storm Hawks.
==Description==
Finn's accidentally lost Junko's prized Knuckle Busters! Junko's just not the same without them, which means Finn better find a replacement, and quick, or the Storm Hawks' mission to stop Ravess and Snipe is doomed.
==Plot==
Ravess and Snipe attack Terra Glockenchime, forcing the timekeeper to shut down the Timepulse, the primary navigation signal for every airship in Atmos. Meanwhile in the Condor, the Storm Hawks realised that their navigation instruments were no longer functioning, and witnessed two airships colliding with one another, before getting hit by the Rebel Ducks themselves. Junko, using his Knuckle Busters, was able to knock off the other airship away, however it sent them in crash landing course towards a mountain. Aerrow and Junko head down to the mountain, and the latter once again activates his knuckle busters to stop the airship just in time.
As Finn witnessed Junko repairing the Condor after the collision, he was impressed with his strength, however Junko admitted that it was the knuckle busters that did the job. He then shares his childhood where he was different from the other Wallops (the more intelligent type), only to be subjected to taunts (being called a "Gleep"), and it was revealed that the knuckle busters are a set of family heirloom passed down from his aunt.
Finn convinces Junko to let him try the knuckle busters, however it proved too heavy and powerful for Finn, that he lost control of the knuckle busters, sending it flying out of the Condor and down to the Wastelands. Junko immediately became distraught over the loss. Soon after, Aerrow calls out for a deployment to Terra Glockenchime to take control of the Timepulse again.
Finn and Junko were assigned to search for the missing timekeepers. They encountered Talons on their way, and as they were surrounded, the duo finds a massive door behind them. Finn asked Junko to break open the door, however the latter, still reeling in the loss of his knuckle busters and therefore his self-esteem, told Finn he could not manage it. Finn then spots a pair of old timekeeper gloves and manages to trick Junko that the gloves were "Cyclonian Knuckle Busters" which is stronger than his own. Junko was at first doubtful, however a firebolt shot from the Talons energized him, making him feel like there are "millions of crystal energy" inside. He immediately breaks open the door and flings it towards the Talons. Later, Junko tries a few punches but soon went out of control, thinking they are too powerful, smashing everything in his path.
Piper soon climbs up to the control room with the lead timekeeper bound onto a chair. She pushes two Talons off a manhole and frees the timekeeper, then asked the latter to help manually turn the main gear to get the Timepulse starting again. The timekeeper dismisses the idea, pointing out that it would require at least 10 timekeepers to do so. Suddenly Junko barges in, still punching uncontrollably. Finn finally admits to tricking Junko over the knuckles, and seeing the timekeeper's matching gloves, Junko loses the energy and immediately stops punching. Now Ravess and Snipe finds the Storm Hawks and with an altercation between Finn (boasting Junko's strength) and the Talons, a battle ensues.
Junko could not bring himself to fight Snipe, until the latter called him a "Gleep". Junko recalls the times where this taunt was used against him as a child, and his faith was rekindled. His confidence restored, Junko crushes Snipe's mace and knocks his opponent out. As Ravess and Snipe flees, Junko manually restores the Timepulse. At the end of the episode, Finn retrieves Junko's knuckle busters from the Wastelands at great personal risk as an apology, while Ravess and Snipe received punishment from Master Cyclonis for their failures in Glockenchime.
