Chapter 17: The Heart of the Vault

(In the big circular room, there's several big holes dug into the ground along the sides. Other than that, it's pretty much empty.)

Pacifica: There's nothing here.

Dipper: (disappointed) This is getting so old.

(He looks around and spots a corpse lying down on the side of the room. He walks over to it curiously.)

Pacifica: Dipper…?

(He kneels down for a closer look and sees it's wearing a fancy looking English captain uniform and holding a sword in its hand. He knows who it is and is stunned and saddened by it.)

Dipper: It's him… It's Francis Drake. He never found it. He just... died here.

(He removes the ring from his neck.)

Dipper: So much for 'greatness.' Wasted his life... for nothing.

(He drops the ring on Drake's corpse. Pacifica more gunfire outside and walks up to Dipper putting her hand on his shoulder.)

Pacifica: Dipper, are you ready to get moving?

Dipper: (standing back up) Yeah... More than ever.

Pacifica: There's gotta be a way outta here.

(Dipper looks up and spots some kind of crane high above them.)

Dipper: It looks like there's some kind of machinery up there.

Pacifica: Hey, there's a ladder. Here, I think I can reach it if you give me a boost.

(Dipper stands under the ladder and kneels down.)

Dipper: All right, climb on.

(Pacifica steps on his back and onto his shoulders.)

Dipper: Oh, you're heavier than you look. Can you reach it?

(She leaps up grabs onto the ladder.)

Pacifica: I got it.

(She ascends the ladder and looks at the crane.)

Pacifica: Looks like an old hoist or something. There's a rope. I'll try to lower it down to you! Oh, I see a tunnel. We can get out this way!

(Dipper starts to wait for her to lower the rope when suddenly he hears movement and turns around drawing his gun. Gideon and a pirate with a shotgun run in and face the entrance.)

Dipper: Hello boys.

(The two turn and see Dipper with terrified looks on their faces.)

Dipper: Easy Gideon. Easy.

(They hear a strange, nasty roar coming from outside.)

Dipper: (concerned) What the hell's going on out there?

Gideon: Didn't you see them?!

Pirate: Oh no... Oh God, no…

Gideon: We're trapped!

(The roar is heard again. This time, more close.)

Dipper: Jesus, what is that?

Gideon: We're dead! We're all dead!

(The pirate nervously backs up to one of the holes along the side and suddenly, something grabs onto him from behind and immediately drags him down. He screams and drops his shotgun. Gideon runs over to the hole and shoots in it.)

Gideon: No!

Dipper: Gideon, get back here.

(Gideon picks up the shotgun and backs towards the center of the room and watch as fearsome, terrifying creatures emerge from the holes. They are hairless, white skinned, naked, human-like savages with pitch black eyes and sharp teeth and claws. They make nasty growling sounds and surround Dipper and Gideon.)

Dipper: Oh crap.

Gideon: Drake, if we don't make it out of here, I just want you to know, I hate your guts.

Dipper: Yeah, likewise pal. Now let's do this.

(They ready their guns and the creatures lunge at them. They open fire and shoot some of them dead. More run around the room and more come out of the holes. Pacifica hears the fight.)

Pacifica: (worried) What the hell's going on down there?!

Dipper: Just get that rope down here! Fast!

(She tries to move the hoist.)

Pacifica: Damn! It's totally rusted! It won't move!

(The two men keep shooting at the monsters. Gideon uses his pistol and shotgun while Dipper uses his pistol and assault rifle. They fire at the creatures as they run around them, try to jump at them or crawl out of the holes.)

Gideon: (shoots a creature) You want some of this?!

Dipper: Pacifica?!

Pacifica: It's stuck!

(After some more fighting, the numbers of monsters gets fewer. Dipper puts one down while Gideon shoots at another.)

Gideon: That's right, you ugly monkey thing!

(The creature is shot many times and falls back into a pit. Gideon stands over the pit and looks in.)

Gideon: (pridefully) Don't mess with Gideon Gleeful!

(He is grabbed by another creature that suddenly reached out of the dark pit and almost pulled in. Dipper sees him struggling. He looks around for more enemies and sees none, then rushes over to the pit.)

Dipper: Gideon! Hold on!

(He grabs Gideon's hand and attempts to pull him up. He shoots the creature in the head causing it to release Gideon and fall back down. Another creature immediately pops up and bites down on Gideon's neck before Dipper can react. Gideon let go of Dipper's hand and falls into the pit with the creature, screaming in agony. Dipper backs away to the center and sees some more monsters coming out of the holes. He is now alone against them.)

Dipper: Oh, you have to be kidding me... Pacifica, hurry up!

Pacifica: Hold on, Dipper!

(He continues fighting the creatures with both the assault rifle and the shotgun.)

Pacifica: I got it! It's moving!

(She lowers the rope down for him.)

Pacifica: Grab the rope!

(He climbs up the rope and out of the creatures' reach.)

Pacifica: I'll swing you over, hold on!

(Dipper is swung over and lands on the upper level. He and Pacifica run into the tunnel as more monsters get on the upper level and chase after them.)

Dipper: Go!

(They run through the tunnel as Dipper shoots behind him.)

Pacifica: (frightened) Oh my -

Dipper: Not good! Not good! Not good!

Pacifica: This way!

(They see an open entrance up ahead.)

Dipper: Go! Go! Run!

(They enter a room and slam the door shut. It's a big metal door with a hatch.)

Pacifica: What the hell were those things?!

Dipper: I don't know. But they just wiped out Gideon and the rest of his crew. Are you okay?

Pacifica: Yeah.

Dipper: Okay, I don't think they can get through this.

(They catch their breath. Pacifica turns around and sees the room they're now in.)

Pacifica: Dipper…

Dipper: What?

Pacifica: Where are we?
