So Dipper and Pacifica are now together again even though it's not exactly by choice. Also, the story will now be about a train and I think you all know what that means...

Disclaimer: I own nothing that has to do with Uncharted or Gravity Falls.

Chapter 12: A Train to Catch

(Dipper and Pacifica run down the alley as they're being shot at. They vault over a railing and land in another alley below.)

Dipper: Go! Go!

(They run into a partially destroyed building as more soldiers appear and see them.)

Dipper: Keep going!

Pacifica: (scared) They're awfully close, Dipper!

(They race through the building and onto another street.)

Dipper: Pacifica, don't stop!

(They jump down into another alley A military truck drives in front of them and blocks them off.)

Dipper: Oh, shit! This way!

(They run into another alley and find the end of it missing. Dipper swings across the gap, over to a ledge.)

Dipper: Up this way!

Pacifica: Dipper!

(He gets up on the ledge and sees Pacifica hiding behind a crate in the alley.)

Dipper: What are you doin'? Pacifica, come on, you gotta jump!

(Dipper lies down on the ledge and holds out his hand. Pacifica nervously runs up to the gap and jumps. Dipper reaches out and grabs her hand as soldiers run down the alley.)

Dipper: I gotcha!

(He pulls her up and they continue running. They get to a narrow alley and vault over a low wall into an abandoned building.)

Dipper: Get down!

(Pacifica sits down on the ground and hugs her legs. Dipper sits beside her and puts his arm around her.)

Dipper: (comfortingly) You all right?

Pacifica: (panting) Yeah, never better. You?

Dipper: (catches breath) Nothing that won't heal. Okay...

(Dipper looks back out into the alley and sees nothing.)

Pacifica: (shaken) Oh God...

Dipper: ...I think we lost 'em.

(He stands up and looks out the window.)

Dipper: (regretful) I never should have got you into this mess.

Pacifica: (standing up) You didn't. I got here on my own.

Dipper: I mean, you know, the rest of it.

Pacifica: We knew what the stakes were.

(Dipper takes out his map of the city.)

Pacifica: Okay, so, what do we do now?

Dipper: I'm going after her.

Pacifica: (scoffs) Of course you are... typical. Go after her.

Dipper: (looking at map) Rumble said something about a train. Which means they would have taken her to the rail yard here.

(He hands her the map and goes to a big hole in the wall. He sees a water tower a few buildings away.)

Dipper: So it should be that way. Past the water tower there.

Pacifica: (firmly) Dipper, she pulled a gun on us.

Dipper: I know. It was only to keep herself covered.

Pacifica: She still chose herself over us.

Dipper: It's complicated...

Pacifica: (rolls eyes) Yeah, I'll bet.

Dipper: (firm) Rumble knew she was with me. If Ivan finds out she double-crossed them, you know what he'll do to her.

Pacifica: Yeah, I've seen his handiwork.

Dipper: Then you know I don't really have much of a choice.

Pacifica: (sighs) Honour among thieves, huh?

(She hands him back the map. He takes it.)

Dipper: Something like that.

Pacifica: I sure hope you know what you're doing.

Dipper: I don't have the faintest idea.

Pacifica: (smirks) Good to know that some things just never change. Okay. Let's go.

Dipper: What? Oh, no, you're not coming with me.

Pacifica: Dipper, shut up, okay? We have a train to catch.

(They exit the building through the hole and get on a balcony. The water tower is just across the street and up some buildings.)

Dipper: There's the water tower.

Pacifica: Right behind you.

(They see five soldiers on the street below spreading out.)

Dipper: Wait here.

Pacifica: (concerned) They're everywhere, be careful.

Dipper: (confident) I always am.

(He jumps across to a nearby rooftop.)

Dipper: (whispers) Gotta get a gun.

(He ducks behind the wall on the rooftop as a soldier climbs up a ladder to it. Dipper knocks him out quietly and takes his gun.)

Dipper: Now we're cookin'.

(He ambushes the remaining men from the roof and takes them all down.)

Dipper: It's all clear.

(Pacifica gets down on the street and takes a gun from another soldier.)

Pacifica: Alright, let's head to that water tower.

Dipper: (smugly) Were you impressed? Got all those guys by myself?

Pacifica: (shrugs) I don't know if I'd use the word impressed.

(Dipper climbs the ladder back up to the rooftop and finds a fire escape.)

Nathan: There's a fire escape up here but I can't reach it.

Pacifica: Okay, I'll be right there.

(Pacifica climbs the ladder and Dipper gets down. She steps into his hands and he boosts her up to the fire escape.)

Dipper: Once you're up there just kick it down to me.

Pacifica: There ya go.

(She drops the ladder down and he goes up. They jump to a higher rooftop and get to a gate. Pacifica tries to open it but can't.)

Dipper: What's the matter? Is it locked?

Pacifica: Ah, it's stuck. I think it's blocked from the other side.

Dipper: Alright, I'll try to find another way around. And unstuck it.

Pacifica: Good idea.

(Dipper jumps off the roof and onto a tall street sign.)

Pacifica: (smiles) All those years in the circus are paying off.

Dipper: (laughs) Very funny. I may be from the circus, but you're the one behind bars.

(He moves across the sign and gets a view of the other side of the gate. It has wooden boards nailed to it. While hanging there, he takes out his gun and shoots the boards until they break.)

Dipper: There we go. Try it now!

(Pacifica pushes the doors open.)

Pacifica: Now I'm impressed. (alarmed) Oh, no. Hey we got company!

(Several guards run out onto the rooftops behind them. Pacifica takes cover behind a crate. Dipper uses the signs.)

Pacifica: Coming in on the left! On the right!

Dipper: Left, right, they're everywhere!

(Dipper shoots a propane tank on the roof and takes out a couple soldiers.)

Pacifica: Nice!

(They soon eliminate the soldiers on the rooftops.)

Dipper: Got 'em. I think that's all of 'em!

Pacifica: Oh no. Look out behind us!

(More appear on the rooftops across the street.)

Dipper: These guys don't quit!

Pacifica: I got you covered over here!

(They take out the last few guards. Pacifica jumps to another rooftop and finds a narrow mechanical bridge folded up on the side of the roof. She turns a crank that sets it across the rooftops.)

Pacifica: Hey, I'll lower this walkway for ya!

Dipper: Alright.

(She lowers the bridge between two roofs so Dipper can jump to it from the signs.)

Pacifica: Perfect.

Dipper: (smirks) Not bad for "last year's model".

Pacifica: (smirks) Been waitin' to use that.

(They move across the rooftops some more and get to the one next to the water tower.)

Pacifica: Nice, we're at the water tower.

Dipper: Yep, we made it. Alright, stay low.

(They crouch down behind a wall and look down on the trainyard below. They see a really long train with box cars and passenger cars on the track. Dozens of Ivan's men load cargo on it before boarding themselves.)

Pacifica: So, you got a Plan B?

Dipper: I'm working on it.

(He takes out a pair of binoculars and looks around. He sees Wendy with Rumble by one of the passenger cars. They appear to be arguing and Rumble pushes her on board.)

Dipper: There she is. Rumble's got her.

(He looks around again and sees Ivan and his lieutenant boarding another car.)

Pacifica: Second thoughts?

(He puts the binoculars away.)

Dipper: No. Okay. They're about to take this show on the road, so we're gonna have to move fast. Now I'm going down there alone -

Pacifica: (bothered) Dipper -

Dipper: Wait, just listen.

(He points to some small jeeps parked down below on the side of the train yard.)

Dipper: Meanwhile, you're going to go over there, snag us one of those nice-looking -

Pacifica: 4x4s...

Dipper: 4x4s... You're gonna be the wheelman. I'll sneak in, I'll grab Wendy, and you come in right behind us -

Pacifica: - with the getaway car.

Dipper: - with the getaway car.

Pacifica: Yep, got it. Got it?

Dipper: (firmly) I got it.

Pacifica: Then let's go.

(She walks off and jumps to another rooftop nearby. The platform attached to the rooftop falls off.)

Dipper: You all right?

Pacifica: Whoa... yeah...

Nathan: Alright, be careful.

Pacifica: Alright... I'll see ya when... well, when I see ya...

(She runs off down a fire escape and out of sight.)

Dipper: Ah, she's taking the easy way down.

(He finds a zipline and uses it to reach the ground. He gets to a part of the yard with no soldiers.)

Dipper: (sigh) I love the smell of train yards in the morning.

(He walks along the track and enters a large abandoned warehouse. He climbs onto a train car inside.)

Dipper: Let's get up here for a better look.

(He approaches the window and sees the train outside. Ivan's men are still preparing to leave on it.)

Dipper: There's the train. How the hell am I gonna get down there?

(He enters another train car on an elevated track.)

Dipper: Maybe I can get this old thing moving.

(He pulls a lever at the end of the car. The train starts moving forward.)

Dipper: Uh-oh, I didn't think this through.

(The car slides down the track and smashes through the warehouse doors. It derails and slides onto its side on the tracks. Dipper is thrown around.)

Dipper: (irritated) Way to go, Dipper. Hope that didn't attract too much attention.

(He pulls himself up and looks outside. Soldiers start to surround him and open fire.)

Dipper: Oh, no.

(Behind them, train starts to move.)

Dipper: You assholes are gonna make me miss my train! C'mon, Pacifica...

(He shoots back at the guards in area. The train soon leaves the yard.)

Dipper: Damn it, the train's gone. Aw, c'mon Pacifica, where are you?

(More soldiers show up and fire at his cover in the derailed car.)

Dipper: (upset) Stop shooting at me! (groans) Can this get any worse!?

(A military truck drives into the train yard. A pair of large troopers with heavy armor chain guns come out the back and starts shooting at the car.)

Dipper: Oh, this is all I need, Twiddledee and Twiddledummer. Train's gone, Wendy's on it, Pacifica's nowhere to be found, and now these two mutants show up.

(Suddenly Pacifica drives through the train yard on a Jeep and stops outside the derailed car.)

Pacifica: Dipper!

Dipper: It's about time!

(He jumps out the car and runs for the jeep. He tosses a grenade at the chain gun troopers to distract them.)

Pacifica: (frantically) Get in! Hurry!

(He hops in the back as more guards run towards them.)

Dipper: Go! Go!

(Pacifica speeds away from the yard and the soldiers. She drives along the track after the train.)

Pacifica: So... you got a plan C?

Dipper: Yeah. Floor it!

Pacifica: What?!

Dipper: I'm getting on that train!

Pacifica: What, are you crazy?!

Dipper: Just get me close enough to jump.

Pacifica: Guess that answers that question.

Dipper: Step on it!

(She speeds up and catches up to the train.)

Pacifica: So how do you plan on getting her off that speeding train?

Dipper: I haven't thought that far ahead.

Pacifica: (sighs) 'Course not.

(Dipper stands up on the side of the jeep. Pacifica gets alongside the last car of the train and tries to keep it steady.)

Dipper: Okay... okay, here we go...

Pacifica: Hold on... hold on... Almost there... Now! Jump!

(Dipper leaps from the jeep and grabs on to the car. Pacifica stops the jeep as they get to a cliff. The train keeps moving onto a bridge. Dipper holds on for dear life as his hat flies off. He sees it move through the air back towards Pacifica. He sees her catch it just as she gets out of sight.)

(Dipper then climbs through an open window and gets in the empty car. He catches his breath and faces the front of the car, preparing to move forward and fight his way through the train one car at a time until he finds Wendy.)

And now we get to one of the best action sequences in the series. We're also almost at the point where the first chapter took place.
