(Wayside, day. The Condor docks on and the Storm Hawks crew disembark on their skimmers.)
- Aerrow: Ok, if you want to make it for the concert, everyone's got 5 minutes to do whatever they need to do, then we gotta go.
- Piper: Right, I just need to grab another turbo crystal.
(Stork arrives on board his buggy)
- Stork: I need a new proton repeller.
- Junko: I need the bathroom.
- Finn: Uh, if you wondering why he ain't going to the Condor, don't ask.
(Junko gives a chuckle, then hurries down, along with the rest of the crew. Now Radarr is all alone with the skimmers. Then, a smell approaches, leaving Radarr sticking out his tongue. The smell turns out to be coming from a nearby restaurant. Radarr runs towards the restaurant, and looks around at the entrance. While exploring, Radarr finds a bowl of tentacles coming alive. Radarr backs away in response, stepping onto a banana peel. He slips and falls into the kitchen. The camera turns to a chef with a chicken on his right hand and a pan on his left.)
- Chef: Well, well, well, looks like I just found me a blue-plate special.
(Radarr looks on, frightened of what he got himself into.)
- Chef: (laughs) Whoever you are, you're the answer to my prayers, cos today is Mystery Meat Day (tosses the chicken over, which landed on her head), and I'm all out of mystery meat.
(As the Chef takes a hit with his pan, he misses, and Radarr hops onto a stove, taking another pan in defense. They both get into a duel, with the chicken looking on. Seeing her savior, a pair of hearts throbs from her eyes in admiration, complimented with a heart-shaped background. From her POV, she sees Radarr fighting off against the heart background. Then the camera turns back to the chicken who faints. Meanwhile, Radarr makes his escape, taking the chicken along with him. As the Chef gives chase, he was caught on the closing door, making a huge mark on the door. After having shut the door, Radarr takes a look at the chicken, who lunges forward in an attempt to kiss her savior. However, Radarr nudges and throws her off, running away from the scene, only for the chicken to be flying towards him. Radarr sees the Condor taking off and tries to wave his arms, but the Condor turns and takes off anyway, leaving Radarr stunned. In the Condor's bridge, Aerrow examines the ship's timepulse.)
- Aerrow: 4 minutes and 42 seconds. Not a badly executed pit stop.
- Piper: Good thing too, we've only got 10 minutes to get to the show.
(Stork pushes the control forward, accelerating the Condor.) (Back in the Wayside, Radarr was disgruntled. Just then, a chicken lands from behind and dashes towards Radarr, going into a cat and mouse chase. Radarr ends up on the edge of a dock, looking down on the depth of the landmass. He turns around and finds the chicken edging closer. At this time, a trailer passes by beside Radarr. Radarr stares in for a moment, before hopping on to one of the last few containers. He takes a peek out of the container, and sees the heartbroken chicken. As the trailer leaves the Wayside, Radarr gives a sigh of relief, takes a few steps back, before realizing there were other people on board.
- Crewman 1: You...!
- Crewman 2: It's him! From the belly of that sky beast!
(The camera zooms in to Radarr's eyes, revealing a flashback of the Leviathan, Radarr being covered in purple goo, and being chased by deranged crew members of the Neck Deeps. Having relived the flashbacks, Radarr screams and the seamen approaches and corners him.) (Back in the Condor)
- Aerrow: That turbo crystal really got some kicks. We're already 100 ticks from Wayside. Not bad, huh, Radarr?
(Aerrow see his co-pilot missing, and turns around.)
- Aerrow: Radarr?
(Piper and Finn looks around, with Junko giving a shrug.) (In the trailer, Radarr gets cornered by three crewmen.
- Crewman 1: We've got unfinished business with you.
(Radarr shuts his eyes in fear, but opens to find the crewmen tossing him up and down in celebration, cheering three times)
- Crewman 1: We never got to thank you and your friends properly for saving us last time we met.
- Crewman 2: Now we want to make up for that terrible lapse in manners...
- Crewman 1: With a feast in your honor!
(The third crewman walks over with a covered plate of food. Radarr slurps. But as the crewman opens the plate, he finds nothing but rotten seafood. Radarr reluctantly takes a piece of fish from the plate. Just as he was about to take a bite, the trailer was abruptly shaken, knocking him down.)
- Crewman 2: It be a sky shark attack!
(The crewmen run around in panic, as the camera zooms out to find a school of sky sharks attacking the trailer. Radarr looks out on the sky sharks, and decided to throw the piece of fish overboard.)
- Crewman 3: Look!
(The sky sharks go after the fish)
- Crewman 1: He saved us again!
- Crewman 3: Huzzah!
(Unfortunately the sky sharks were turning back towards the trailer, this time chewing onto its hull, barely missing Radarr twice. Radarr runs out of the trailer, falling on something right under.)
- Crewman 2: Look!
(The other 2 crewman appears, seeing that Radarr had landed on the upper deck of another cruiser on his belly. Radarr gets up and looks at the crew above, waving to them. Just then, the sky sharks were approaching, and Radarr opens a hatch and hops into the compartment below. He takes a glance around the compartment, and finds the very same chicken from the previous encounter. This time, there were a few other chickens behind her, all with heart on their eyes. As the chickens approaches Radarr, he climbs up the laddar and leaves the compartment through the hatch, running towards the edge of the cruiser's upper deck. He turns his head towards the incoming chickens, and turns back, reciting prayers, before jumping off the cruiser. It turns out that he had returned to the Wayside, landing on one of the docks. The chickens follows suit, once again going into a cat and mouse chase. In one attempt, he tried to disguise himself with a mustache and a newspaper, but was quickly discovered. Now hiding behind a crate, Radarr scans the surrounding, but realized there were 7 chickens just right behind him. He ends up being cornered by the herd of chickens against a few stack of crates. Just then, the chicken from earlier flies in and seems to be arguing with the rest of the herd. Seeing this opportunity, Radarr slithers behind the stack of crates. Upon seeing the Condor, he waves his arm to try get attention, but turns around to see who was nearby.)
- Commander Scarface: I wanted those supplies stowed now, crewmen. Remember, I run the tightest ship and Master Cyclonis' fleet!
(Radarr takes a few steps forward, but hears the sound of engines running, realizing he is on board a Cyclonian destroyer. As the destroyer leaves the Wayside and seeing the Condor further away, Radarr hangs his ear in sorrow.) (While on Wayside, the Storm Hawks crew tried to find their missing crew)
- Aerrow: Anything?
(Stork spits out a feather and catches it with his left hand)
- Stork: A lot of chickens.
- Piper: But no Radarr.
- Junko: Poor little guy.
- Aerrow: I'm sure he's fine. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?
(In the Cyclonian destroyer, the commander closes up on something)
- Commander Scarface: I'm gonna dispose of you, personally.
(The camera zooms out to find a rubbish bag. The commander tosses the bag into a chute and closes it, pressing his nose at the same time.)
- Talon 1: Sir, we just received a transmission from Ravess. You have authorization to commence the mission.
- Commander Scarface: And what a mission it is; deploying weather balloons. Do you know what my greatest fear is? It's when they make a movie: Master Cyclonis' Conquest of the Atmos. My role will be so insignificant, they'll refer me in the credits as... (tears well up) Commander Number Two.
(A typical movie poster rolls up, showing Master Cyclonis at the top, followed by Ravess, Dark Ace, Snipe, a Talon and the commander himself at the bottom row. As the poster zooms in on the commander, he takes a sigh with his head hung low.)
- Commander Scarface: But I have a plan to abort that fate. I'm thinking of what to call myself when I made my name in this war. Tell me, which d'you prefer: Commander Scar, or Commander Scratch-on-face? I'll decide soon. This will be my last routine mission. (shoves a Talon off the ship's control) Because I'm about to augment the weather balloons into "Doom-laden weather balloons of doom"! Exceeding expectations, taking risks, that's what gets you noticed by the higher-ups!
(The commander presses a red button which activates a conveyor belt in the cargo bay, deploying the explosive weather balloons one by one)
- Talon 1: Sir, the first, uh, doom-laden... weather balloon, of doom... is away!
- Commander Scarface: Excellent, like doom-laden, no ship will be safe!
- Talon 1: No ship?
(An explosion shakes the whole destroyer, knocking the crew down. As the commander gets back up, he witnesses one of his own creations approaching the bridge, setting off the explosion already. Meanwhile Radarr finds himself in one of the destroyer's vents, and leaves through an opening, hopping into a room. He finds a radio communicator in the room, and attempts to tune it to make contact with the Condor.)
