Once the racers arrived in Italy, they rushed to the finish line. Lacey said, "The racers are almost to the old finish line." Stephanie said, "I wonder who the disappointed pair will be who crosses it first." Once the racers saw the finish line, they all hit the gas on their bikes and cars and raced to get there first. The Applecycle passed The Altercycle, crossed the finish line, and came in 1st. The Altercycle came in 2nd, Girl Power in 3rd, The Junglecycle in 4th, Target Practice in 5th, The Catcycle in 6th, The Dinocycle in 7th, The Wheeled Viking Ship in 8th, and Light Speed in last. Then Team Apple ran up to Lacey and Stephanie, but they refused to give them their money. Jacqueline said, "Don't tell us."
Since everyone was present, Stephanie broke the news to them. Stephanie said, "Racers, you're spending the night here. And in the morning, you'll resume the race to the next finish line at The Taj Mahal in India." Jo said, "We can't drive there." Lacey said, "We know." Stephanie said, "That's why the next part of the race is an aerial dogfight. So turn your cars into aerial vehicles and fly there." Lacey said, "We're also adding another team to the race. Say 'hello' to Jacob and Skylar in The Heatwave." Stephanie said, "Plus, since they arrived first, The Applecycle will get a 60-second head start. Good luck." The racers all checked into their hotel and then went out for dinner. After eating, they refilled their gas tanks at the nearest gas station, returned to their hotel, and slept.
Once morning came, they all returned to their cars and turned them into aerial vehicles. Jacqueline pushed a button on the handlebars of her and Kate's motorcycle, transforming it into a hot air balloon. Tanae pushed a button on the handlebars of his and Tyler's motorcycle, and it transformed into a hot air balloon. Alexis flipped a switch in her and Kayla's convertible, transforming it into a plane. Gana pushed a button on her and Torie's motorcycle, and it transformed into a plane. Jo pulled a lever in his and Zak's car, transforming it into a helicopter. Chris pulled a lever in his and Joseph's car, and it transformed into a helicopter. Earlando flipped a switch on his and Gena's motorcycle, transforming it into a plane. Lia flipped a switch in her and Shaelyn's car, transforming it into a plane. Remy pulled a lever in his and Zachary's car, transforming it into a helicopter. Jacob pulled a lever in his and Skylar's car, and it turned it into a hot air balloon.
Once they were ready to race, Lacey shot off the starting pistol, and the Apple Balloon floated away while the other racers waited 60 seconds for Team Apple's 60-second head start to be over. Once their head start was over, Stephanie re-shot the starting pistol, and the other racers flew away. The Apple Balloon is floating over Italy, trying to go faster. The Apple Balloon is in the lead, The Girl Powered Plane is in 2nd, The Jungle Plane is in 3rd, The Light Speeding Helicopter is in 4th, and The Catcopter is in 5th. The Targetcopter is in 6th, The Alternate Balloon is in 7th, The Heatwave Balloon is in 8th, The Dino Plane is in 9th, and The Viking Plane is in last. The racers are flying out of Italy and over Greece. The Girl Powered Plane is still in second place, but once Kayla spotted the other racers behind them, Alexis accidentally pushed a button in their plane, ejecting Kayla from their aircraft. Alexis spoke into a speaker on the plane and said, "Oops, wrong button. Sorry, Kayla." Alexis flew the plane down and opened the top. Kayla fell back in her seat, and her seatbelt buckled itself. Alexis said, "Need a lift?" Kayla said, "Yes, but I hit the buttons. You steer."
The racers are leaving Greece and flying over Turkey. Alexis steered them back to the race and put them in 5th place. The Catcopter was in 4th, and when they saw the Light Speeding Balloon in front of them, Chris pushed a button on their balloon and tried to shoot down the Light Speeding Helicopter by aiming their guns at the helicopter's propeller. Remy spoke into their helicopter's speaker and said, "Are you crazy? You're going to blast us." The Catcopter kept firing at the Light Speeding Helicopter until they finally shot it down. Once they did, they put themselves in 3rd place while Remy quickly pushed a red button, turned their shot-down helicopter into a hot air balloon, and got them airborne again. Once they returned to the race, they put themselves in 4th place. The Apple Balloon is still in the lead, but Kate threw a pitchfork at the other racers behind them once they spotted them. The pitchfork flew by all the racers from 2nd to 6th and towards the Alternate Balloon. Once it landed, it popped Tanae and Tyler's balloon and started deflating. Once it did, the Alternate Balloon plummeted fifty feet to the ground in Turkey, screaming and crashing upon impact. Once they did, Lacey and Stephanie threw them a rope ladder, and they climbed up it to the helicopter, which flew them back to the network. Lacey said, "Too bad about Tanae and Tyler. They were so good at this." Stephanie said, "True, but they should have known pitchforks and hot air balloons do not mix."
The racers are flying over part of Iraq, but now they're flying over Iran. The Dino Plane was in 8th place, but then they activated their turbo speed button and caught up with The Jungle Plane, moving into 2nd place. Once The Jungle Plane saw The Dino Plane, Torie pushed a button in their plane and slimed The Dino Plane's windshield. Earlando then pressed a button in their aircraft and turned on the windshield wipers to wipe away the goo. Then Gana pulled a lever in their plane, ditched the Dino Plane, and left them in third place, while they remained in second. The Viking Plane is last, but they passed everyone from 8th to 6th and caught up with The Light Speeding Balloon in 5th. Once the Light Speeding Balloon saw the Viking Plane, they tried to make their plane go faster than their balloon.
The racers are flying over Afghanistan and are now flying over Pakistan. The Apple Balloon is in the lead, but once they saw The Jungle Plane behind them, they tried to stall it by launching missiles. Once Gana saw the rockets, she told Torie to hold on tight. Gana spun the plane, flew sideways, downward, and back up again, and dodged three missiles. Then she pushed a button in their aircraft, turned their plane upside down, and dodged another rocket. Then she pressed another button and turned them right side up again. Gana then pulled a lever and shot a rocket of their own at one of Team Apple's missiles, and they blew each other up. Gana continuously flew them up and down, dodging the remaining missiles. Gana said, "That was close. How was it for you?" Torie was just about to throw up, but she kept it down. Torie said, "Fine." The Jungle Plane is still in second place, and when they saw The Dino Plane behind them, Gana pushed a button in their plane, creating a smoke screen in the air that blinded everyone behind them. Torie said, "Let's see them get out of there." Alexis and Kayla flew their plane from the smoke screen and took 3rd place. The Dino Plane flew out of the smoke next and put themselves in 4th. The Catcopter flew out next and took 5th. The Viking Plane flew out next and took 6th. The Targetcopter flew out next and took 7th. The Heatwave Balloon flew out next and took 8th. The Light Speeding Balloon was the last one to get out, and they took last place.
Once the racers reached India, they looked down and saw the Taj Mahal below. Before the racers landed, Marcel from the network called Lacey and Stephanie and instructed them to relocate the finish line to Spain, allowing another racing team to participate in the race. The racers flew across the finish line and landed their vehicles by the Taj Mahal. Team Jungle landed their plane and came in 1st. Team Girl Power landed their plane and came in 2nd. Team Apple landed their hot air balloon and came in 3rd. Team Dinosaur landed their plane and came in 4th. Team Cat landed their helicopter and came in 5th. Team Viking landed their hot air balloon and came in 6th. Team Practice landed their helicopter and came in 7th. Team Heat landed their hot air balloon and came in 8th. Team Light Speed landed their balloon and came in last.
Team Jungle rapproachedLacey and Stephanie, but they refused to give them their money. Torie said, "Not again." Lacey said, "Yes, again. We have settled you inside The Taj Mahal, so you all can sleep there for the night. And in the morning, you'll all have an aerial dogfight on your way to Spain. Since they arrived first, the Jungle Plane will get a 60-second head start." Stephanie said, "We're also letting another team into the race. Say 'hello' to Jasprit and Luke in The Football Plane." The racers settled in at The Taj Mahal, and the guards inside provided them with what they needed. Before they went to sleep, the racers told the guards to refill their gas tanks so they could fly their aircraft in the morning.
