Episode 10: Up, Up, And Away In My Pitiful Balloon

"Last time, on Total Drama Revenge of the Island! The players went on a smash-and-grab graffiti race,"

"Axel tried to keep Lindsay by her side by any means necessary. And Noah and Alejandro resumed their alliance and battled it out with Shawn. But Shawn managed to win the night's sole vote anyway."

"And after a bit of last-minute funny business from Noah, it was Alejandro who got voted off the island. Too bad, so sad."

The recap ended, putting the scene at the Hurl of Shame with the smiling host watching as a pair of interns – one southeast Asian male on the dock and one white female in the bucket itself – polished the siege weapon. "Missed a spot," he taunted them before facing the camera. "We're down to our Final Five competitors, and you'll never guess who's next to ride the Hurl of Shame." With a sly grin, he pointed over to the side, the camera panning over to show Chef Hatchet standing by the catapult's lever. He pulled it, flinging the female intern into the air with a scream.

Chris laughed as the other intern glared at him. "Told ya," the host told Chef, the male intern walking off in disgust. "What?" Chef shrugged mischievously for the camera. "Catapults are expensive. I need to get my money's worth! But someone else will be flung before the day is over. Find out who, right here, on Total! Drama! Revenge, of the Island!"

(Theme Song)

The scene faded in to Noah, running through the woods with a panicked look on his face. He looked behind him, and the shot cut to show Fang chasing him and looking rather ticked off.

He tripped over a rock and landed on the ground with a pained grunt. Fang ran up to him only a second later. Noah turned around and gasped. "What did I ever do to you, Sharkbite?!" he asked frantically, not noticing that a large shadow had passed over them.

Fang pointed to his missing tooth, and Noah gulped at the implications.

The shadow finally fell over them and Noah perked up in confusion, then smirked. He kicked the giant mutant shark between the legs and scampered off.

The scene cut to a zoomed-out shot of the wreckage of the old Maggot cabin, the other members of the Final Five standing outside as Noah and the shadow approached. A few muttered 'whoa's rose up from the campers, and the shot finally zoomed out enough to reveal the object casting the shadow: a large white zeppelin, which came to a floating halt above the cabins.

Axel scoffed and walked a few steps to the side. "What's the big deal? It's just a blimp."

As if in response, an anchor suddenly dropped down between Axel and the other campers, landing partially on the survivalist's foot and thus causing her to bend over and yell in pain.

"I think it's a zeppelin. Named after Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin," Noah lectured as he walked past the young woman and the ship's gondola lowered into view behind them. And he, in turn, was crushed when a gangway slammed down on top of him, earning a groan from the snarker.

"You're both wrong," Chris corrected, the shot cutting outward to show him and Chef standing in the doorway the gangway led up to. Axel was still struggling with the anchor, but Lindsay, Shawn, and Emma were watching the host warily. "It's the McLean Mobile Air Command Center! Where I will recline in luxury, while you compete in today's challenge: an aerial obstacle course!" He disembarked when he finished.

"An aerial obstacle course," Shawn repeated dryly. "Are you just gonna give us all wings or something?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if he did," Emma told him.

"Uh-huh," Chris said noncommittally as Chef walked to join him. "And here to demonstrate, put your hands together for Total Drama classic contender, Heather!" At the gondola door, the mean girl herself stepped forward with a cold and haughty look. She had regrown her hair, though it was tied in a long ponytail.

"Seriously?" Axel said as she finally freed her foot, the others watching skeptically as Heather walked down the gangway. She stepped uncaringly on the spot where Noah lay, eliciting a light bone-cracking sound, a groan, and a twitch from the boy's feet which were sticking out from under the metal walkway.

"Oh my gosh! You're the Heather?!" Lindsay gushed.

"Sorry, I have this policy on not talking to losers," Heather told her with a superior look.

Lindsay frowned. "How am I a loser if I hadn't lost the game just yet?"

The camera quickly panned to Chris. "Heather will now demonstrate the aerial challenge, while wearing a jetpack." The queen bee raised an eyebrow, then gasped as Chef slammed a jetpack onto her back.

The shot pulled back as Chef pressed a button on a remote, activating the jetpack and forcing Heather wearing it into the air. The four unpinned campers watched her fly off with wary faces, and the shot quickly cut to Heather's screaming face. She was shown approaching an elevated ring of fire, then flying through it and several others in a row...then circling around off-screen and flying back behind them. The camera cut in close to the jetpack's flames as they began to sputter and smoke, and with a gasp, Heather began to descend.

"Everyone, just be cool," Chris told the campers as they watched the failing demo, Noah once again standing among them. "There's a parachute built in to it!"

Heather crashed down moments later, landing face-first in the ground. Only then did the parachute deploy, and float uselessly down to cover the fallen young woman who groaned in pain.

Chris laughed. "Best challenge ev-er!"

"Uhh, this seems unsafe," Emma said warily, prodding Heather's parachute-covered legs with her foot.

"No, it's a lot unsafe!" Chris corrected with another laugh. "Did I mention you'll also be attacked by flying mutant fire-breathing goats?"

"What?!" Lindsay said as the camera panned across the shocked and horrified faces of the campers.

"That's it. I'm bailing," Noah sniffed.

"Are you sure about that?" Chris asked slyly, reaching down behind him, picking up a suitcase, and opening it dramatically to the Final Five. It was full of money, and an angelic chorus rose up as Chris continued. "You're absolutely sure you want to bail out on the ultimate Total Drama prize, one! Million! Dollars!" The camera zoomed in with each word, but when it stopped, the chorus did as well and a gust of wind blew a few bills off the top of the stack. "...give or take," the host said quickly.

Noah and the others grinned in stupefied awe. "Okay, maybe the money's worth it. And I'm going to make sure that it goes in my hands."

"You're gonna have to bulk up if you want to fulfill that promise," Axel scoffed and rolled her eyes.

Confessional: Noah

"With Alejandro gone, now I have to deal with Axel," Noah confessed. "Which could be a bit easy for me as she didn't hide who she really was. But then again, she could've found the immunity totem, which could mean that she stays for another day."

Confessional Ends

"Now, to perform your aerial feats," Chris said after handing the suitcase over to Chef, "you'll first have to construct your very own flying machines!"

"Flying machines? Yes!" Shawn grinned next to Noah. "I hope I can build a hot air balloon."

"Hot air balloons are less advanced than what I will invent," Noah said.

The shot cut to Lindsay talking to Axel. "I can't believe Shawn eliminated Alejandro," she said.

"I can," Axel snorted. "I don't remember us talking, but he was too good to be true, and I would've been the one to eliminate him had Shawn not beaten me to it!"

"Why do you hate Shawn so much?" Lindsay explained. "Sure he got our snow fort melted, but he's not a bad person."

"You won't understand, but we have a rivalry, and I want to be the one who comes out on top," Axel said.

Confessional: Lindsay

"I want to win the money so I can spend it on a lifetime supply of lip gloss, but after having met Mike and knowing what he's really going through, I think I can use a portion of the money to get him a therapist in order to help control his disorder," Lindsay confessed.

"Then again, I'm already rich, so me and my family can help Mike with or without the prize money."

Confessional: Axel

"So despite helping her last challenge, Lindsay still doesn't want an alliance with me because she told me she wants to work by herself," Axel told the outhouse as she leaned against the side. "Whatever. She's overstayed her welcome enough as it is, and I have a plan to ensure that she leaves."

Confessional: Emma

"Everyone here has something that defines them, and I do admittedly come off as a bit generic since I'm just the kind prep girl, but that has helped me stay in the game," Emma admitted. "Lindsay and Shawn are the only people that I can trust at this point, though I still wonder why Shawn kicked off Alejandro of all people."

Confessional: Shawn

"Yup," Shawn said nonchalantly. "I kicked out Alejandro last time. He lied to me about a UFO just to hinder me and set up a few eliminations while acting like a charming guy."

He frowned. "I should've stuck to my belief that he was hiding something, but it is what it is. Anyway, I'm-"

Confessional: Noah

"-gonna beat-" Noah said with a confident smirk.

Confessional: Lindsay

"-everybody else and-" Lindsay smiled.

Confessional: Axel

"-take home that million-" Axel had her arms crossed in anticipation.

Confessional: Emma

"-dollars for myself," Emma finished.

Confessional: Shawn

"I think that about does it," Shawn added.

Confessionals End

The static finally cut away to show massive piles of junk and garbage, the camera panning to the left as Chris – wearing yellow rubber gloves and standing next to a garbage bag – said "Welcome to your one-stop shop for flying machine parts: the dump!" The shot pan stopped once the host and campers were in view, and the shot zoomed in on Chris. "Revolting, aaaand reasonably priced," he added, picking up the fly-ridden bag of trash at his feet and holding it out to the disgusted campers. "Each player will pick a card representing their mode of flight," he continued as the shot panned across the wary faces of Axel, Emma, Lindsay, Noah, and Shawn.

"Pick 'em like your nose, losers!" the host said making a noise of disgust as he held the bag open.

Shawn walked up first, reaching into the bag and pulling a card out of the slime. "A plane?" he said as the perspective quickly changed to show a silhouette of an old-fashioned biplane. "Sweet! My aeronautics skills can come in handy here," he told the host with a grin before walking away.

Lindsay was next, and cringed as she reached in and grabbed her card. "A helicopter?" she said in excitement as a silhouette of the machine in question was briefly shown on the card she'd drawn. "Yeah! I never thought I'd fly in one!" she cheered before moving on.

Third was Noah, who picked his card without hesitation. "A hot air balloon?" he said as his card's image was shown. "Not too bad. Not too fast, either, but at least I won't have to worry about fitting inside a cockpit."

Next came Axel, who stuck her hand into the bag. "A rocket?!" she exclaimed as her card was shown to bear the image of a classic rocket shape. "Seriously? Do you want me to get blown up?" she asked the host, who shrugged mischievously. Axel walked off, and Emma walked up behind her.

"Okay, what am I gonna get?" she asked as she reached in, felt around, and grabbed a card. "Jetpack? Hang glider?" She finally looked at her card, and her face immediately fell. "...bird?" she asked as her card was revealed to hold the silhouette of a condor on it. "You know we were just kidding when we talked about you giving us wings," she told the host, who merely smiled impishly until Emma walked off in disgust.

Chris dropped the bag and turned to the campers, now gathered on the other side of him. "The first camper to show me their finished flying machine wins an advantage," he said, the camera panning rightward on to Chef, who was holding a small device with a Chris McLean face sticker on the side. "A McLean-brand Smoke Machine!" the host said as Chef showed the machine in his hands, holding it up and displaying it proudly. "Use it as a smokescreen, smoke bees out of your attic, or just create a spooky ambiance. Check it!"

At the command, Chef turned the machine on, and a stream out at the campers, making them cough.

"Sweet, right?" Chris asked them. "First to finish their contraptions wins that smokey bad boy. Okay campers, prepare to get your dump on...now!"

The campers scattered, with Emma and Shawn headed off to the right while Axel and Lindsay and Noah went left. The focus moved to Lindsay as Axel caught up with her. "So I assume you're going to ask me how to build a helicopter, right?"

"No!" Lindsay shook her head. "I know what I'm doing, and you'll just use this for your own benefit if I let you help me!" she said and ran off.

"Hey!" Axel complained. "I found your key free of charge!"

"Don't take it so hard!" Noah taunted as he ran past her.

Confessional: Lindsay

"People say that I'm basically just a pretty girl, which they are right about," Lindsay told the confessional. "This challenge could prove that I'm more just the hottest contestant on the show."

Confessional Ends

The scene cut to Emma throwing things out of the junk pile she was searching through. "How am I supposed to build a bird?" she asked herself as she stood up and looked around, and the camera cut to two nearby rattle-gulls sitting on a barrel of toxic waste. "Birds have feathers..." she said thoughtfully.

Emma ripped a handful of feathers from the gull's stomachs. "Thanks." The gulls flew over to her and eyed her angrily. "I'll give them back?" she tried to say before the birds chased her away.

Another cut took the scene to Shawn, who was still walking through the dump with his eyes moving from it to his card and back again. "I have to build a plane. How am I even gonna find the cockpit?" He stopped and looked in front of him, and a short but dramatically triumphant tune played as the camera zoomed out to reveal a swan boat.

Shawn smiled and looked it over. "Okay, so I could use that. But where am I gonna find wings?" He looked around a bit, and all of a sudden seemed to notice something off to the left – the camera panned over it as the dramatically triumphant tune played again, revealing some bat wings. "So I have wings," Shawn said with a blank look as the camera cut to a close-up of the conspiracy nut. "But there's no way I'll find a propeller out here," he started to walk away... before he tripped on something and fell to the ground with a yelp.

The camera zoomed, revealing that he'd tripped over a completely intact propeller as the same tune played for a third time. "That works," Shawn said with a smile.

The shot moved next to Lindsay, also still looking for the parts to her machine. "I gotta find a really big fan," she said to herself, bending over and picking up two things from a nearby pile. "A parachute? Heat source?" she asked as she held up a pack and propane burner. "These are things that Noah needs!"

"I'll just leave them here!" she said as she walked over to another heap - holding a bike with a pink horse head ornament and giant fan - "right next to the Sunset Sally bike that I've always wanted but never got."

She walked away, but stopped as her eyes widened in realization, then she looked back. "Wait a minute."

The scene moved back to Emma pouring glue on a pile of feathers, then panned over to Axel sitting in the driver's seat of the wreckage of Chris's sports car from the first season.

She smiled, then ducked uder the steering wheel. After a moment, the car's engine roared to life and she popped back up with a smirk.

A flash took the scene back to Lindsay, grunting in effort as she picked up her bike and put it on top of the giant fan. She adjusted it a little bit, then stood up and wiped the sweat from her brow. "My Christmas wish is finally coming true!"

Yet another flash moved the scene back to Axel, who was completely covered in grease and oil and fiddling with a grimy screwdriver. The camera zoomed out, revealing that she was still sitting in the wrecked sports car - though the axles appeared to have been crudely elongated and the wheels and tires were replaced by barrels of toxic waste - and tightening screws on what looked to be a large and bulky control box with several buttons on it.

A short triumphant laugh caught her and the camera's attention, both looking over to see Noah sitting next to a wheelchair with a propane burn strapped to the back of it.

"I've built plenty of hot air balloons before I came onto this show," Noah smirked. "Best part is, I didn't even have to ask for help."

"Like I care about your past accomplishments," Axel scoffed. "I know my rocket will be cooler than your hot air balloon."

"As soon as I find a parachute, I'll win this challenge!" Noah responded. "What do you think about that?"

"Shut up," Axel sniffed and went back to fiddling with her contraption.

"Okay, just about...done," Shawn said with a confident smirk, adjusting something off-camera then wiping the sweat from his brow. "One plane," he declared and the camera zoomed out to reveal his creation: the wings he'd found were taped to the swan boat in ways that made it look like a plane, and the propeller was stuck to the front of it.

"Now to see if it works," he said as he got on. However, before he could start it, a cheer got his attention, and with a gasp, he looked skyward.

"Hey look! I'm airborne!" Noah cheered in excitement as he rose up over a pile of garbage in his make-shift balloon.

He looked around with a grin on his face, then descended his craft after apparently spotting something. The shot cut outward to reveal that something as Chris, who was watching the bookworm with a grin on his face and a megaphone in hand.

"Okay," Chris announced through his megaphone, "we have a winner! Noah finishes first, and gets a smoke machine!"

A chorus of four losers' disappointed moans rose up over the dump. "Who will fly high?" Chris asked the camera as it cut back to him and Noah, the snarker grinning smugly. "Who will crash and burn? And how many Gemmies will I win for this episode? Find out when we return, on Total! Drama! Revenge, of the Island!"

(Commercial Break)

The episode resumed on a long-distance shot of the Final Five and their flying machines: Shawn with his swan boat-plane, Emma with a pair of wings similar to the one's from season three's Greek tiebreaker, Lindsay with her Sunset Sally-copter, Noah with his wheelchair-hot air balloon inflated and moored to a stake in the ground, and Axel's rocket-car.

The shot zoomed in on Shawn and Emma. "So Shawn," Emma started, "why did you choose to vote out Alejandro rather than Axel?"

"Because he tricked me in the last challenge and is not as nice as he seems," Shawn answered.

"How do you know about that?" Emma asked.

"I got a note telling me everything," Shawn said. "I had to do something before it was too late."

"I'll talk to you about this later, but promise me that we'll vote for Axel today," Emma begged.

"You have my word," Shawn accepted.

Confessional: Shawn

"I was expecting Emma to call me a liar or say that I was jealous of Alejandro. She took it pretty well," Shawn mused.

Confessional Ends

Everyone's attention was drawn upward as Chris's voice came down from the distant zeppelin. "Players!" he announced, the camera panning across the flaming hoops of the aerial obstacle course as the music became tensely anticipatory. "Prepare to be challenged, in the Obstacle Course of Doooooom!"

The shot cut inside the mobile command center as Chris paused to laugh, his favored red megaphone in hand with Chef and Heather behind him – his assistant smiling and the queen bee looking backward in mild annoyance. Her perspective showed the million-dollar briefcase standing next to several open crates of golden statuettes in the shape of a slender woman holding up an old television set, but her gaze quickly zoomed in on the prize money. It gleamed tantalizingly, and a dark smile formed on her face.

"So," Lindsay said as the scene cut back to her and Emma on the ground, "you want me to be in an alliance with you? Why didn't you ask me earlier?"

"I wanted to, but you were cooped up with Axel," Emma told her. "And now that I know you're not actually in an alliance with her, I can do so now."

"I am so in," Lindsay smiled. "Axel's really mean."

The shot cut back outside the blimp as it slowly flew forward. "Looks like Emma and Lindsay are becoming a duo," Chris said as the scene moved to him and Chef inside. "And just so they can take out Axel!" he added with ever-increasing giddiness while, unknown to both men, Heather walked over with one of the awards in her hands.

With a dark grin, she raised the golden statuette, the camera zooming in on it and staying put as she swung it down hard, hitting both Chef and Chris in the back of their heads, feeling both with two cries of "Oof!" and a metallic clang.

The camera cut back to a ways outside the gondola, its door now open. Seconds later, Chris was kicked screaming out into the open air, followed shortly by Chef, and the camera zoomed in as Heather leaned out of the doorway. "One Gemmie for you," she called downward. "And one million for me!" She held up the briefcase of prize money, then turned around and slammed the door behind her.

A long-distance shot of a garbage pile showed Chris and Chef falling just beyond it, the camera quickly cutting over to a close-up of the fallen host. "Unnnh, I think I sprained my stubble," he groaned, Chef visibly lying on top of him.

"Uhh, Chris?" Lindsay spoke up, the shot zooming out as she ran up to the fallen men. "Heather just stole your Mobile Air Command Center."

"Whatever," Chris said uncaringly. "Got it at the Air Force garage sale."

Axel arrived next. "And my million dollars!" she said angrily.

"Whatever," Chris repeated. "Not my million bucks."

"And all your Gemmies," Shawn added, walking up on the other side of Chris and Chef.

Chris's eyes popped open in panic. "My Gemmies?" he asked in concern before picking himself up from under Chef. "Cancel the Obstacle Course of Doom," the host declared. "Your new challenge is, to STOP THAT ZEPPELIN!"

"DON'T TRY TO STOP ME!" Heather called down at them, the camera cutting to a long-distance shot of the zeppelin and then to its open door where the queen bee was standing with two of the Gemmies. "I'VE GOT GOLD STATUETTES AND I AM NOT AFRAID TO USE THEM!" she added before throwing the statuettes out of the plane one after the other. The camera followed them for a bit as they spun through the air, then cut down to Chris running forward with his arms outstretched.

"I've got you, my preciouses!" he called out in concern, the camera pulling backward as he went behind a junk pile at around the same time as his two awards...and based on the ensuing clonks, groan, and cloud of dust, got hit on the head by both and fell to the ground.

Confessional: Axel

"Heather's a conniving and vicious girl," Axel told the outhouse camera. "Not a big fan of her, especially with her being too arrogant to notice that she threw the wrong thing into the volcano last season."

Confessional Ends

"Get your flying machines airborne and shoot down that zeppelin!" Chris commanded, now holding both of the awards that had been thrown but also sporting a large bump on his head. "Aim for the engines. Here's your ammo," he looked to the side as Chef walked up holding, of all things, a wicker basket full of blue eggs. "Flying mutant fire-breathing mountain goat eggs!"

The campers looked surprised. "Since when do goats lay eggs?" Noah asked in confusion.

"Since they started breathing fire. Y'know, when they started living here!" Chris smiled. "Thank you, toxic waste," he laughed, causing Emma and Shawn to share an incredulous look. "Whoever takes down Heather gets immunity," the host continued. "Oh, and look out for the flying mutant fire-breathing mountain goats. They are super ticked for some reason!" He looked at Chef, who whistled nonchalantly.

The footage flashed back a trio of mutant goats nesting on a cliff side amongst some barbed wire and waste barrels. They didn't react when Chef suddenly dropped down in front of them by a rope around his waist, carrying a wicker basket in one arm and an airhorn in the other, but when the horn was sounded, they bleated in panic and flew off, leaving their eggs behind. Chef grinned, tossed the airhorn away, and picked up an egg with a snicker.

"Noah," Emma said as the camera cut to her approaching the bookworm, who was now sitting in his wheelchair-balloon. "Look. You need invincibility more than anyone in this challenge since you're the second least popular person here. And I want to help you get it."

"What's the catch?" Noah asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing big," Emma said. "I just want Axel gone."

Noah pondered for a moment. "Yeah, I can do that. Now unhook my mooring line." Emma smiled as she took the rope tying Noah's balloon to the ground and removed it from the stake. Noah's balloon began to float away as Emma walked away.

Confessional: Noah

"Winning the challenge and sending Axel home as the cherry on pie?" Noah recapped. "Most satisfaction I'll ever receive on this show."

Confessional Ends

The camera panned over to Axel, who was watching confidently from the driver's seat of her rocket-car. The shot cut in closer as she pressed a button on the control box and the car's engine turned over. She pressed another button and the car hovered a bit in the air due to the small fires coming from the toxic waste barrels.

The shot cut over to Lindsay on the back of the bike part of her contraption. "This bike needs some air!" She revved the bike's engine that got the fan started. Quickly but shakily, she rose up, and the scene cut to her rising over the crest of a junk pile and moving off towards the distant hot air balloon in pursuit of the even more distant zeppelin.

The next cut put the focus on the figurehead of Shawn's contraption, then its wheels, and then on the whole picture as he himself took off from the junkyard. The sound of laughter caught his attention and he looked behind him to see Emma flapping her arms, really wings, and flying through the air.

"Hello and goodbye, Shawn," Emma called out with a teasing grin.

Axel suddenly flew past both and forced them to the side, the barrels now pointed slightly horizontally.

A quick-pan moved the scene to the zeppelin, but the shot quickly cut to Lindsay as she grabbed an egg from somewhere next to her. She threw the egg at the errant airship as she zoomed past.

It bounced uselessly off the side of the zeppelin's balloon, and the camera cut to the inside of the gondola to show Heather cackling.

Back outside, Lindsay narrowed her eyes into a glare. "That was just a mistake. This time won't be!" She readied another egg, but Noah floated in between her and the zeppelin.

It was then that Axel, seemingly out of control, shot past Lindsay while dangerously close to her. The dumb blonde screamed as she was barely able to swerve out of the way, losing control of her creation, and Axel stabilized her car.

Noah held up a couple of eggs and smirked. "The smell of victory," he said to himself. "Why does victory smell like gorilla armpit?" he added before an angry bleating got his attention.

A pair of mutant goats were shown flying nearby, quickly joined by a third. They opened their mouths and breathed three streams of fire at him that barely missed. "Hey!" he called out to them. "Why don't you go burn someone else's balloon! Like hers!" he said, pointing towards the zeppelin. To his surprise, the goats flew past him in the direction he'd indicated.

The shot cut inside to Heather standing at the wheel of the airship, gasping as the mountain goats flew up in front of the windshield. She looked on in wide-eyed disbelief for a moment before turning around and running to the door of the gondola. "You want a piece of me?" she asked, holding two more Gemmies. "Huh? You want a piece?" She tossed the statuettes out of the window and the shot cut to Noah getting pelted.

"Hey!" Noah complained. "This is way out of control!"

Axel flew in between the bookworm and the zeppelin and pressed another button. An airbag inflated from the front hood and any statuette that might have hit Axel instead bounced harmlessly off.

"Why are you defending Noah?" Lindsay asked in disbelief as she flew next to the rocket-car. "I thought you didn't like him."

The shot cut back to Noah aiming the smoke machine. "Well, I can't let this smoke machine go to waste!" He turned it on, and Shawn was forced to turn away from the zeppelin to avoid the smoke.

"I'm not defending him. I'm defending myself, and you should too," Axel said before Lindsay turned around to help Shawn.

Confessional: Noah

"I didn't ask for Axel to take any shots for me," Noah confessed. "I would've just taken them all if it meant crashing that zeppelin."

Confessional Ends

A few deeper notes were struck as the camera followed Axel flying away, then panned down to show Emma flapping her wings. "Okay, I just have to figure out a way to make sure Noah wins this thing and Axel doesn't," she told herself. The sound of the car engine in the background caused her to turn her attention to her left, and the camera zoomed under the zeppelin's gondola to show Axel flying in front of Noah's balloon.

"Bingo," Emma smiled, flying upward quicker than before. The camera cut to Axel smirking to herself in the car, until Emma landed in the passenger seat. "I'm commandeering this vehicle!" she said as she tried to grab the steering wheel.

"Oh no you won't!" Axel naturally fought back and the car wobbled in the air over the grunting of the two teens.

The shot cut back to Axel as she pushed Emma away long enough to buckle her seat belt, prompting the prep girl to ask "What's that supposed to do?"

In response, she held up a small remote control and pushed the lone red button on it. The car flipped upside down and Emma had just enough time to say "Uh-oh," before she fell out with a scream.

A flash took the scene back to the front of the zeppelin, where the three mutant goats were still harassing it with angry bleats and the occasional burst of fire breath. "Leave me alone," Heather swore as the shot cut inside the gondola and in a fit of anger she spun the wheel to the side, stopped it, and spun it back the other way. The camera cut back to the open air, the zeppelin suddenly moving up and down. The goats quickly scattered, and the shot panned down to show Lindsay swooping and swerving as the massive balloon moved into her path from one side and Shawn sped past on the other. She collided with her former teammate, and the shot cut to a close-up of Shawn who screamed as he started to fall...

Until a skinny hand grabbed his shirt. Shawn looked up and smiled, and the camera pulled back to a heroic tune to show that Lindsay had caught him. "Lindsay!" he said in relief. "You saved me!" He suddenly looked upset and added "After you almost killed me!"

"It was the zeppelin's fault," Lindsay replied. "And why wouldn't I save you?" She pulled him up onto the bike with her. "Now let's go take down that zeppelin!"

Shawn laughed despite the situation. "Heck yeah!" The duo started to fly off... until the fan's blades began to sputter and put out smoke.

"Did you clear all the dust and grime out of the fan before you tried to use it?" Shawn asked warily.

"I didn't know that was a thing!" Lindsay defended before the fan finally died. She managed to get the engine to roar to life again, but sounding much weaker than before. While this did stop them from dropping, the craft still began to slow and descend, its two riders screaming along with it.

The scene flashed to Noah flying his balloon along the top of the zeppelin. "All this because this girl couldn't handle losing?" he complained. "Seriously, how am I supposed to take down a zeppelin with a couple of eggs?"

He was startled by a sudden jet of flame shooting up in the background, and he looked in shock to see the mutant goats coming up behind him.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Noah said in shock and disbelief. "Now those things are back!" He fell silent for a moment, then his eyes suddenly widened in realization. "Wait! The goats!" he exclaimed.

The shot cut over to Axel, still flying around in her rocket-car. "This is a breeze!" she chuckled to herself, the perspective moving over her shoulder to show the front of the zeppelin moving back into view.

A sudden sputter and puff of smoke from the control box quickly got her attention. She gulped and the shot zoomed out to show her toxic waste barrels had all caught fire. The rear barrels exploded, propelling her and her seat forward towards the zeppelin, through its glass windshield and into the gondola – and Heather, who was ducked just in time to avoid being hit by the survivalist.

The queen bee looked to the back in contempt as Axel was heard groaning. She then picked up the million dollar case and strolled over to her.

Heather reached Axel as she just finished picking herself off the floor. "That money is mine," Axel told her darkly. "Hand it over."

Heather began to sniffle and tear up. "I'm sorry," she cried. "All I wanted was the money." The camera cut to Axel crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow. "But this has just gone too far."

"Please," Axel rolled her eyes. "I've been self taught not to fall for any wounded gazelle gambits. Do you honestly think I'd cave into a simple trick like that?"

Heather briefly looked shocked, then shrugged with an impish smile. "Have it your way then," she said, hitting her in the head with the case. "I deserve this money, and especially after being burned by a volcano!"

"Too bad for you," Axel said as she got to her feet, springing forward and getting her hands on the case just as Heather reached the helm again, forcing her to turn around and renew their struggle. "I deserve the million!" They battled over the briefcase, but a sudden jolt caused both to stumble and slam against the helm as the zeppelin began to dive.

They gasped in panic and confusion, and the shot cut outside to one of the front engines, now on fire with the three mountain goats flying to the right along the diving airship. The camera quick-panned over to the rear port-side engine where Noah was waiting, his gaze held backwards and his hand on the fuel source to his balloon.

"Bet you can't set me ablaze, Godzilla knock-offs!" he yelled before cutting off the fire and diving away before three jets of fire streamed towards his former position, two of them hitting the engine and igniting it.

The camera cut over to a view of the starboard rear as first Noah, then the goats flew around the tail and back up towards the front of the airship.

"You call that fire? I can create bigger by lighting a match stick!" the bookworm looked back and boasted, immediately screaming and diving out of the way of a jet of fire-breath.

The shot cut back inside the zeppelin's gondola as the whole ship lurched yet again, the bumping and sharp tilting causing Axel and the briefcase to tumble over and out of the broken windshield.

She recovered from her impact-induced daze in freefall, and quickly realized the million dollar briefcase was falling in front of her. "Yes!" she said, reaching out to grab it...only for Chris to promptly fly up with his jetpack and grab it by the handle instead.

"A million bucks, finders keepers!" Chris said in mocking sing-song before zipping upwards to the sound of an explosion.

Axel growled, then furrowed her brow in annoyance. "Fine," she said. "The old-fashioned way will have to do."

The shot cut down to water level where Lindsay and Shawn were treading water, watching the zeppelin crash into the lake in the distance. "That was crazy," Shawn said.

"Definitely," Lindsay said in agreement just before Axel fell down onto them, causing a big splash. Soon, Emma was shown swimming away from Fang in the foreground, and the shot zoomed up and over back to Noah flying against the sunset sky towards Wawanakwa, the mutant goats bleating rather peacefully a little ways behind.

The footage immediately skipped forward to the campfire ceremony, a few deep notes signaling the shift in the music towards the usual elimination repertoire. The Final Five were all sitting in the front row, with Noah on the far left, followed by Shawn, Emma, Lindsay, and Axel. The bookworm was already holding a marshmallow.

"Elimination time!" Chris began from off-screen. "Noah, you took down Heather, so you're safe," he continued as the camera slowly panned away from the campers, "but the rest of you are on the chopping block." The scene finally moved onto the two adults, Chris standing at his podium with a tray of three marshmallows with Chef standing nearby in his hazmat suit, displaying the Toxic Marshmallow of Loserdom in its open box for all to see.

"Regular marshmallow means you're safe," Chris reminded everyone. "Toxic Marshmallow of Loserdom means you're out. Aaaand, probably mutated." The shot cut back to the campers still on the chopping block. "Shawn, you're safe," the host said, tossing a marshmallow to the delighted conspiracy nut. "Emma, also safe," the host said as the preppy girl was tossed her marshmallow.

"And with four votes against," Chris announced, the shot cutting back to him and Chef, "the Toxic Marshmallow of Loserdom goes to..."

As the camera cut to and zoomed towards Lindsay and Axel as they leveled glares at one another. Each was shown in turn in close-up as they looked back towards the host.

"Axel," Chris finally said.

Axel widened her eyes, but smirked at the irradiated treat. She stood up and said "Well played, but I'm not going anywhere, especially after I found this."

Axel reached into her pocket, pulling out the immunity idol mentioned in the first and eight episodes. The other campers gasped.

"This cancels out all the votes against me," Axel bragged. "And since there were four votes against me, that means that only my vote counts."

"She's right," Chris told the cast. "The only vote that wasn't for Axel, was for Lindsay. Which means it's time for Lindsay to go."

Lindsay was shown to be gaping, and the toxic marshmallow beaning her in the head knocked her back to her senses. "Why'd you even vote for me?" she confronted Axel.

"You're the most likable person around," Axel said. "And even though I can easily stomp you in the finals, I don't want to risk being voted off over you. Should've allied with me when I gave you the chance."

"I know that there are more important things than money like friendship and humility," Lindsay replied. "I also know that you'll get everything your karma owes you," she said with a smug smirk before getting abruptly grabbed by Chef and dragged away with a startled yelp.

The scene flashed to the docks, Lindsay already loaded into the Hurl of Shame. "Any final words to your fellow competitors?" Chris asked her.

"Bye everybody! See you in the finale!" Lindsay called out to the remaining contestants. "I'm coming, Mike!" she shouted as she was hurled into the night, the words fading into the distance as she did.

The shot cut to the Final Four watching from the shore. "Thanks for making me take out my immunity idol earlier than I wanted to," Axel told the others. "Good night," she walked off, and the camera lingered on Emma's angry expression.

Confessional: Emma

"I'm sorry this had to happen to you, Lindsay, but you will be avenged," Emma pledged. "That is a promise."

Confessional Ends

The capstone theme began immediately as the scene returned to Chris standing alone by the season's catapult. "And then there were four," he told the camera. "Who will win the million? Who will get crushed while millions watch? Find out next time, on Total! Drama! Revenge, of the Island!"
