Chapter 9: Path of Light
(They enter a massive hall where a huge statue lies on the ground and a huge three-sided metal dagger hangs from the ceiling. The blades are unfolded and sticking out to the sides of the hall. There are walkways with big carved faces high along the walls. A beam of light shines down from the ceiling in front of the dagger.)
Wendy: (amazed) Bloody hell...
Dipper: Well, this must be the place.
Wendy: (sees the metal blades) Hey, that thing looks familiar.
Dipper: Yeah, it looks like the Phurba dagger.
Wendy: Uh-huh.
Dipper: These lights must activate it somehow.
(They wall down some stairs and find an old mirror on a stand at a ledge. The light from the ceiling reflects on it. There's more mirrors on other ledges to the side of it.)
Dipper: Those mirrors seem important.
(He readjusts the mirror and the light bounces onto the forehead of one of the faces across the hall. The eyes light up.)
Dipper: We just have to bounce the light around the room.
(Dipper gets down to the floor and walks across the massive statue. He approaches the face and finds another keyhole for the Phurba dagger in the mouth. He pushes the Phurba dagger into the hole and turns it.)
Dipper: Huh... let's see.
(One of the blades of the giant Phurba dagger lowers down.)
Wendy: (calling out) I think that worked! It looks like it lowered the first blade into place!
Dipper: One down, two to go!
(He walks over to the giant blade.)
Wendy: What do you reckon, we're gonna have to climb that thing?
Dipper: I reckon I'M gonna have to climb that thing.
(He starts climbing up the pegs on the side of the blade.)
Dipper: Let's get up here and see if we can get a better look.
Wendy: Okay, be careful up there!
(Dipper gets to the top and slowly walks onto another blade that's still folded out.)
Wendy: Hey! Whatever you do... don't fall!
Dipper: (skeptical) This seemed like such a good idea, down there.
(He gets to the end and sees a giant stone head with three eyes high on the wall. He jumps and grabs one of the eyes. It slightly moves down and the third eye on the forehead opens. Another light comes out of it and shines on one of the mirrors down below. Dipper climbs over to the walkway next to the head. He drops down to lower walkway and finds another mirror.)
Dipper: There's more reflectors up here. (calling out) Wendy!
Wendy: Yeah?
Dipper: Adjust the other reflector!
Wendy: I'm on it!
(She adjusts the second mirror with the new light on it. It shines up on the reflector near Dipper.)
Dipper: Nice work!
Wendy: Okay, now what?
Dipper: Hold on.
(He sees a chandelier with more mirrors hanging in front of him. He adjusts the reflector and shines the light on the chandelier which reflects it to another face on the wall that lights up.)
Wendy: Okay, I think we're getting close.
(Dipper goes to the face and inserts the dagger in its mouth. He turns it and another giant blade is lowered.)
Dipper: That did it.
Wendy: Yep, that's another one down.
(A wooden platform slides out of the wall nearby.)
Wendy: It looks like that blade opened up a new path. Just to your left.
Dipper: Got it!
(He takes the path back to the platform with the mirrors near the entrance.)
Dipper: Alright. One more blade to go!
(He gets back down to the floor and back to the blades in the middle. He climbs up the second blade that lowered down and walks out in the last blade.)
Dipper: Oh, don't look down, don't look down, don't look down…
(The top half of the blade suddenly breaks.)
Wendy: (startled) Dipper!
Dipper: (frantically) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
(He grabs hold of the edge of the blade as part of it crashes to the ground.)
Wendy: Careful!
(He looks up at the giant face on the wall.)
Dipper: Now how am I gonna get that eye open?
(He realizes the eye is made of wood. He pulls himself back up on the blade and takes his gun out. He shoots the eye until it cracks open the light comes out.)
Dipper: (glad) It worked!
(He then jumps to one of the chandeliers and onto the walkway.)
Dipper: We just need to adjust that other reflector!
Wendy: On my way!
(Wendy adjusts the last mirror by the entrance.)
Dipper: Good, that's it!
(Dipper gets to the mirror on the walkway where the light is and moves it onto the chandelier. It shines onto another face on the wall. He goes over to it and inserts the dagger again. The last blade lowers into place.)
Wendy: You've done it! There it goes!
(The giant dagger lowers down into the chest of the giant statue. Its mouth opens.)
Wendy: Hey, it just opened something!
Dipper: I'm comin' down!
(Dipper takes another pathway back to the platform where Wendy is. The duo then get to the floor and head to the statue's mouth.)
Wendy: So, the secret of Shambhala… is down this guy's throat?
Dipper: I guess so.
(They climb down a ladder into the mouth. Inside is an inner chamber with a podium in front of a large circular in the floor. Dipper finds a triangular hole in the podium and inserts the dagger in it. Rocky structures rise up from the floor circle. They are intrigued by it.)
Dipper: Whoa...
Wendy: That's amazing.
(The structures stop moving and form what appears to be the peak of a mountain. A light comes down from the ceiling and marks a spot on the structures.)
Dipper: Wendy, I know where that is.
(He takes out a map and unfolds it, revealing to be of the Himalayan mountain range.)
Dipper: Yeah, it's right here. You see the shape of that peak, there?
Wendy: Uh-huh.
Dipper: Here it is.
(He points to the map showing it to be the same shape as the structure.)
Dipper: Which means... Lemme use your back.
(He takes out a red pen and bites the cap off.)
Dipper: Which meansh...
(He presses the map against Wendy's back.)
Dipper: ...the entransh to Shambala mush be right here.
(He marks the spot on the map with an X. The couple look at it and laugh victoriously.)
Wendy: (smiles) So… we did it.
Dipper: (smiles) We did it. Yesh... (spits cap out) We did it.
(They look at each other endearingly and wrap their arms around each other. They lean in to kiss until suddenly, they hear the unfriendly voices on soldiers from up above.)
So, they found out where Shambala is, but they've still got to deal with their enemies. The stakes will only escalate now!
