Chapter 16: The Treasure Vault
Dipper: Well, there's no way but forward.
Pacifica: Yeah.
(The two head down the passage and come to a massive opening underground with multiple walkways on higher levels held up by stone pillars.)
Pacifica: What is this place?
Dipper: (annoyed) A really elaborate way to hide the damn treasure.
Pacifica: Which way do we go?
(Dipper looks around the vault and spots a bronze tile on the ground with a Roman numeral on it.)
Dipper: Huh. Wait a second…
(He opens the map and finds the numerals for two, five and seven in the top right corner.)
Dipper: There are Roman numerals on the corner of Drake's map. This has got to mean something…
Pacifica: I'll stay here and keep a lookout while you figure out how we're going to get across.
(Dipper heads down the path, following the correct Roman numerals. Any others led to dead ends. He walks up a path onto an upper level and spots movement up above in the distance.)
Dipper: What was that?
(He shrugs it off and continues upward. He soon finds a wheel mechanism next to a water system up ahead.)
Dipper: This has gotta be good for something.
(He turns a crank and activates the mechanism. The big wooden wheel connected to the crank moves slightly to the falling water and starts turning from it.)
Dipper: Something's happening!
Pacifica: (calling out) Dipper, did you do that? Things just started moving down here!
(Dipper keeps moving across the pathways and sees wooden cranes moving around. He gets to pathway that crosses the area and walk along it. He takes out his radio.)
Dipper: Stan, you read me? (static noise is heard) Damn, nothing.
(He continues to cross the walkways and stops on a wooden ledge to see Pacifica below on the ground level.)
Dipper: Hey! I made it!
Pacifica: (worried) Hey, be careful! That thing doesn't look very safe - Dipper!
(The ledge starts to break and Dipper stumbles. He stumbles a little and grabs onto lower ledge to stop himself from falling.)
Dipper: It's all right! (chuckles) I'm okay!
(He keeps moving then gets to a wooden elevator-like lift and steps onto it. It quickly drops to the lower level.)
Dipper: Whoa... Okay…
(The windows leading to the other side of the wall open up. Pacifica walks up to him.)
Pacifica: See if you can find a way to get this gate open. I'll wait here.
(Dipper climbs through the window. He drops down on the other side and catches a glimpse of a figure in the distance on an upper level.)
Dipper: (bewildered) What the hell?
(He still shrugs it off and finds a chain going up. He climbs up it and and gets in another lift. He wonders what he should do until the lift drops like the last one.)
Dipper: Waaahhh!
(When it lands, he gets off and the gate opens up. Pacifica steps through.)
Pacifica: Thanks, Dipper!
(They head up another pathway and try to figure out which way to go. Suddenly, an explosion occurs from the wall on a higher pathway. The smoke clears and Gideon and several pirates enter the vault. They spot Dipper and Pacifica down below.)
Gideon: (mockingly) Hey, maggots! Like I said, last man alive gets the gold! And you lose! (laughs and turns to his men) Kill them both!
(Gideon's men start shooting down at Dipper and Pacifica who take cover behind the pillars.)
Dipper: (irritated) This just keeps getting better and better.
Pacifica: (sighs) Shoulda known we'd see him again.
(He realizes that Gideon wouldn't have given up so easily and that he'd go behind Powers and Trigger's backs to find the treasure himself. Some of the pirates get down to the same level as Dipper and Pacifica. They engage in another shootout but the duo still prove to be a better team than their enemies. They move between platforms shooting the pirates in their way. They get to a higher platform with a ladder.)
Dipper: I think there's some kind of ladder mechanism up there.
(Dipper makes it up the platform to the ladder mechanism and lowers it down for Pacifica. They continue up some stairs.)
Dipper: (desperate) Hope this leads somewhere.
(After crossing some more platforms, they go up a spiraling ramp.)
Dipper: Let's try this way.
(They hear gunfire in the distance along with some strange screaming noises.)
Pacifica: (nervous) Uh… What was that?
Dipper: Let's not worry about it. C'mon.
(They continue up the ramp and through a small cave and enter a big room.)
