Chapter 21: Gold and Bones
(Dipper and Stan hop down into the hole and begin moving through the underground passage.)
Stan: You wanna tell me what the hell's going on!?
Dipper: Drake didn't want to get the treasure off the island. He was trying to stop it from leaving!
Stan: What?
Dipper: He said there's some kind of curse to it.
Stan: Oh, Dipper, for God's sake…
Dipper: Look, I know it sounds crazy. You just gotta trust me. I've seen things!
(The two continue through the catacombs and reach a large opening with a big hole in the ceiling. The walk to a ledge and see Powers and Trigger with several mercenaries. Trigger is also still holding Pacifica with his gun out. In the center of the opening, under the hole, was the statue of El Dorado. Dipper and Stan are stunned by the sight.)
Dipper: Oh man…
Stan: Whoa…
(They draw their guns but two goons appear behind them and hold their guns up. Powers and Trigger turn around and see them.)
Powers: (laughs) You two should realize by now that I plan for every contingency. Now, drop your weapons. Down there. No heroics please, or I will kill her.
(Trigger holds Pacifica tightly against her and puts his pistol to her head. She looks very scared. Dipper and Stan throw their guns off the ledge.)
Powers: Good. Now, if you'll just hang tight, we'll be with you in a moment.
(He walks up to the statue and is intrigued by it.)
Powers: It's magnificent. The craftsmanship, I've never seen anything like it before.
Trigger: (smirking) That is only a shell.
(Powers turns to him curiously.)
Trigger: The real treasure of El Dorado lies inside. (laughs) Open it!
(Powers looks confused but turns to the statue and grabs the edge of the front. He pulls on it and it opens like a door. He opens it all the way, revealing some kind of mummified corpse with a menacing facial expression. The statue was a coffin for the ruler of El Dorado's mysterious ancient civilization. Everyone is shocked by it.)
Dipper: My God…
(Powers stares at the corpse as dust starts to blow off it. It gets around him and he inhales it. He closes the statue and drops to his knees coughing violently.)
Trigger: (whispering to Pacifica) Watch this.
Powers: (panting) Trigger…
(Powers turns around and shows he now has pitch black eyes and is foaming from his mouth. He growls like a savage and runs towards Trigger thrashing his arms.)
Stan: (to Dipper) Okay… I think I see what you mean by "curse".
(Trigger shoots Powers in the head as he gets close and Powers drops to the ground dead. Pacifica winces at the sight while Trigger just smiles evilly.)
Trigger: So long, boss. So little imagination. (laughs and shouts to his men) Lower the net!
Mercenary: (in a radio) Drop the net!
(A big net is dropped down from the hole. The sound of a helicopter is heard from up above and its shadow appears over the statue. The mercenaries begin to put the net over it.)
Dipper: Trigger, that thing wiped out the entire colony! You don't know what you're doing!
Trigger: Wrong! I'm the only person on this island who knows what the hell he's doing! (to his men) Load it up! (turns back to Dipper and Stan) You are so pathetic, all of you scrambling around for your petty treasures. Real fortune comes from dealing with all-powerful super weapons! (points to the statue) Do you have any idea what this is worth, to the right buyer?!
Stan: A zombie being sold as a biochemical super weapon?! He's insane!
(The mercenaries secure the statue within the net.)
Trigger: Take it away!
Mercenary: (in a radio) Lift it up!
(As the statue starts to be lifted by the chopper, growing sounds are heard in the shadows. Trigger's men look around holding their weapons up.)
Dipper: Oh no…
Stan: What the hell is that?
(A bunch of cursed Spaniards appear and begin attacking the mercenaries.)
Stan: (disgusted) Jesus, now what are these things?!
Dipper: It's the Spaniards, Stan. They never left because they were infected first!
(The two men behind them focus on shooting at the Spaniards so Dipper and Stan overpower them and take their guns. They see the statue being lifted off the ground through the hole and Trigger taking Pacifica up a path on the side of the opening.)
Dipper: My God, if that thing gets off the island…
Stan: You gotta stop him. I'll cover you from here. Go!
(Dipper jumps down and makes his way to the passage past the mercenaries and cursed Spaniards, shooting any in his way. He runs up the path as fast as he can stops on a ledge at the top. He sees Trigger and Pacifica now in the helicopter as it ascends and pulls the statue upward.)
Stan: He's getting away!
(Dipper jumps off the ledge and grabs onto the net around the statue. He lifted out of the hole and is carried over the monastery. He takes his hat off and holds it securely in his hand so it doesn't blow away. Down below, a mercenary patrolling a courtyard spots him and his jaw drops. Dipper waves to him as he flies above. The man quickly pulls out his radio.)
Mercenary: Hey!
(In the helicopter, Trigger and Pacifica sit with the pilot and another guard. Trigger gets a call on his radio hears it. He gets shocked and looks down at the statue to see Dipper clinging onto it. The guard stands on the other side and begins shooting down at Dipper who takes cover behind the statue.)
Dipper: Crap!
(Pacifica then kicks the guard out of the chopper, causing him to shoot the pilot and some of the controls as he falls. Trigger then tries to take control of the helicopter, but it spirals out of control as it flies away from the island and over the sea. It slowly lowers down as it approaches a large cargo ship that the mercenaries came to the island on. Dipper holds on for dear life.)
Dipper: Ohhhh!
