Axel leans over the steep incline to see Damien sliding toward the soundstage entrance, "Uh-uh! No way!"

She dives into the mud and begins sliding down rapidly, still lagging behind Damien by quite a bit.

Damien slowly lifts his hands away from his face and looks down below, "T-there it is! The soundstage!"

Axel, a ways up the hill, contorts herself into a torpedo shape as she attempts to accelerate up to him.

Damien looks back at his competition as he nears the end of the hill, "This game is MINE; here I come scholarship!"

"No…" Axel grunts as she stands up, trying to hold her balance as she continues sliding: "It can't end this way!"

She looks at her shovel sorrowfully and then kisses it, "This is my last chance, don't fail me now, shovel!"

She readies her aim at Damien, focusing intently on her target.

"How is the air up there?!" Damien teases, before seeing the shovel hurling toward him, "...Oh, shi-"

Damien ducks the shovel, avoiding it narrowly.

"Ahah! You missed!" He taunts before turning back to see the shovel anchored in front of him, "NOOOO!"

"Sayonara, sucker!" Axel exclaims as she contorts back into a torpedo shape, attempting to catch up to him.

Damien turns his frightened face into a determined one,

"NOT on my watch!"

He stands up right before reaching the shovel, narrowly avoiding contact with it as it travels through his legs.

"I'll be taking this, too!" He asserts as he grabs the shovel out of the ground.

Axel slides up next to him and stands up, "Hey! Give that back, it's my child!"

Axel begins trying to take the shovel from him as he blocks with the spade.

"En garde!"

"This isn't the time to be speaking Spanish!" Axel grunts between her teeth as she attempts to pry the shovel from his hands.

"What…?"

"Ahah, distraction!" She yells as she yeets it out of his hands.

Axel slides down to the end of the hill and begins running,

"Shovel and I always reign victorious!"

"I don't THINK so!" He yells as he tackles her to the ground, once again fighting over the shovel.

"Give... it, BACK!"

"You're the one who threw it at me! Finders keepers!"

Chris and Chef stand near the entrance of the soundstage as the contestants sit on the edge of their seats.

"And the WINNER of Total Drama: Action IIIIIIS…"

The camera zooms in on MK and Priya as they cross their fingers, before showing Chase, Raj, and Zee leaning on the edge of their seats.

…

Damien crashes through the door and tumbles onto the stage, covered in mud.

"DAMIEN!"

He sits in silent shock on the floor as the contestants and audience cheer for him.

"DId I- Did I just do that? I DID, DIDN'T I?!"

Priya rushes over and squeezes him tight, "I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT! I NEVER DOUBTED YOU!"

Caleb groans, "Yeah, tell that to little miss pacer from a few minutes ago…"

"A-alright, please… let me down." Damien groans in between gasps of air.

"Oh… sorry."

"OH, BUDDY!" Wayne cheers as he grips onto Damien, "I thought Axel was gonna eat you alive!"

"T-that's very… encouraging." He squeezes out.

MK begins looking around frantically, "W-where is Axel?! Did she get hurt?"

Axel charges in with shovel in hand, coughing mud out of her lungs: "Don't worry guys, I got the shovel back!"

She then breaks down onto the floor and begins whining.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Wayne finally releases Damien from his grip, causing the winner to look over at Axel with fear: "Oh snap… I should get out of here before she snaps me in half!"

Axel limps over with her head down,

"YIKES- Axel, if you want- I could share some money or-"

She places her hand on his shoulder and smirks, "No need. You deserve it after all the hard work you put in."

"Huh… really? Thanks Axel!... Uh, no hard feelings?"

"Nah, I'm still gonna hold a grudge!"

"...Oh."

"Naw, just kidding. You enjoy your money, I've got unfinished business to attend to."

Axel walks over to MK, who avoids eye contact with her as Chris brings the million dollar briefcase over to Damien.

"Damien, this is YOUR prize money! Feel free to use it on something important, or just blow it in a week."

The briefcase opens to reveal the shining stacks of money as Damien looks at it with stars in his eyes.

"Yes, yes, YES!" He cheers as he grabs it, "Do you know how much college tuition this pays for?!"

"WOOHOO, that's AWESOME!" Priya shouts in excitement before attempting to high five Damien.

Priya's hand misses and smacks the briefcase into the audience, a grunt of pain being heard as it knocks into someone.

"I-" Damien stutters, "...Is there any chance I can have that back?"

"...Sorry, Damien."

"No worries." He says flirtatiously before kissing her.

"Ooooooo!" Wayne teases like a middle schooler as Millie smiles,

"My hard work paid off!"

"Ugh, gross…" Chris groans, "Chef, go get the briefcase so they can stop doing… whatever that is."

Chef rolls his eyes and then follows orders as the camera pans over to Axel and MK,

MK continues to avoid eye contact, "I… could you have at least won so my sacrifice would mean something?"

Axel laughs slightly, "Hah… it still means something."

"Wait… really?"

"Yeah. I thought for sure it was some type of dirty trick, but when Chris announced us as the official final two… I suddenly realized you must have been for real."

"So…" She tries to make eye contact but pulls her beanie over her eyes, "I know this is gonna sound stupid, but… can we be real friends this time?"

Axel pauses for a moment, "I'd like to give it a try."

MK slowly lifts her beanie off of her eyes and smiles at Axel.

"I'm really sorry…"

"Yeah, this has been one weird show…" Axel whispers as she rubs her arm, "I've never had a friend before."

"I don't think I have either." She replies earnestly.

"...Maybe a friend means more than the million dollars?"

"Naw, don't be stupid."

Both of the girls chuckle before smiling at each other once again.

"Congratulations on another great season, movie stars!" Chris cheers as party music begins blasting through the speakers.

Damien counts the money in his briefcase, "...One million! So it is true!"

Priya giggles, "Maybe you should save some as interest."

"Yeah, that'd be a smart idea… buuuut."

Damien stands up on the table and begins exclaiming,

"Attention everyone! One million dollars is quite a lot… so I've decided to share some of my money with all of you, since I couldn't have done it without you!"

The contestants all cheer, except Caleb, who grimaces.

"Yes, even you Caleb!"

"So what are we thinking? 25% of the cut?" Bowie asks as he smirks at Julia,

"Don't test it, pretty boy…"

Damien responds, "I'm gonna throw a ROCKIN' party and EVERYONE is invited!"

The contestants cheer once again as Chris claps, "Awesome, this will be my 100th party attendance!"

"...EXCEPT for Chris." Damien teases.

Chris frowns as Chef and the contestants laugh at him.

"Cheeef?!" Chris whines, "Why are you laughing?"

"Oh, nothing… I'm just thinking about the new season orders. We're getting 18 episodes next time with the same cast!"

"WHAT?!" A couple contestants cry out as they turn their heads to the hosts.

"That's right," Chris gleams, "This reboot has been so successful and well received that they already want you guys back for another season! But with some fresh faces added in to keep things lively."

A couple contestants cheer while others look upset.

"Another season?" Priya cries out, "I can't! I have to go to-"

Priya's sentence is interrupted by the end credits.
