Chapter 22: Showdown
(The helicopter flies over the front of the ship and Dipper lets go of the net and drops down. He stands back, putting his hat back on, and sees the helicopter crashing on the back deck and sliding over to the edge.)
Dipper: Oh, my God.
(In the wreckage, Pacifica lays unconscious and Trigger gets out and runs down the deck, taking out his laser-sighted shotgun.)
Trigger: (angry) Drake is on board! Kill him!
(Dipper jumps down from the front and takes out his assault rifle. Trigger and several men come his way. He takes cover behind some crates and a final shootout happens. Dipper takes down all the mercenaries in the area and Trigger runs off. Dipper chases him to another section of the ship.)
(Eventually, he runs through some huge metal crates. One is hit on the other side by a rocket launcher and starts to topple over. Dipper rolls out of the way really fast. He takes cover behind another smaller crate and Trigger a few more henchmen shoot at him. He returns fire and takes out the guy with the rocket launcher as well as the others. Now alone again, Trigger runs back up the ramp to the top deck. Dipper follows him up knowing he has him cornered.)
Dipper: (determined) Nowhere to hide, now!
(He gets to the top and sees some large wooden crates and an explosive barrel. He sees the statue in the middle of the deck and the wrecked helicopter leaning on the edge. He spots Pacifica hanging out of the wreckage, still unconscious.)
Dipper: (concerned) Pacifica!
(He starts run over to her but Trigger comes out from behind the statue and shoots the barrel, blowing it up and knocking Dipper back. He lets go of his rifle and it falls overboard. Dipper, now without a weapon, gets back up and dives behind a crate.)
Dipper: Oh crap, now what?!
(Trigger keeps firing in Dipper's direction until he has to reload his gun. Dipper takes advantage of that and moves between crates, getting closer to his enemy when he can't shoot. Soon, he gets up close and personal and punches Trigger really hard. He knocks the gun out of his hand and they engage in a fistfight. Dipper proves to be the better fighter and punches Trigger hard enough to push him back. He trips over the rope connecting the statue to the helicopter and falls down.)
(Dipper then rushes over the wreck and pulls Pacifica out.)
Dipper: Pacifica! Oh God... Pacifica.
(She comes to and he helps her up.)
Dipper: C'mon. Can you stand?
Pacifica: I'm okay... I'm okay… (scared) Oh, Dipper!
(Dipper sees Trigger getting back and looking furiously at them. Dipper sees the rope wrapped around his leg.)
Dipper: Watch out.
(He pushes on the helicopter as hard as he can until it leans over far enough and falls off the edge and into the water. The rope starts going down fast and Dipper grabs Pacifica and pulls her aside.)
Dipper: (to Trigger) Adios, asshole.
Trigger: Huh?
(Before Trigger can respond, he's pulled down by the rope and is dragged over to the edge. He yells in terror as he falls. The statue is also pulled over and falls overboard. Dipper and Pacifica watch as Trigger and El Dorado fall into the water and sink to the bottom of the sea, never to be seen again. The two take a deep breath.)
Pacifica: (relieved) Oh my…
(They spot a small boat sailing towards them and see Stan driving it. He waves to them and they wave back.)
Pacifica: (smiling) Quite a day, huh?
Dipper: (smiling back) Yeah. yeah, save the world, triumph over evil. Pretty typical.
Pacifica: (chuckles) Really.
Dipper: (frowning) It's a shame we're leaving empty handed, though.
Pacifica: Oh well, you know, I did manage to save one small thing.
(She takes out Francis Drake's ring. Dipper looks surprised at it.)
Pacifica: Here, I thought you might miss this.
(She puts it around his neck. Dipper smiles back at her.)
Dipper: Thanks.
(The two blush and lean in closer to each other until Stan calls up to them.)
Stan: (mockingly) You two got a funny idea of romantic!
(They look down at him awkwardly.)
Dipper: (annoyed) Stan! Wow. You… you look like hell.
Stan: (smirking) You should see the other guys. (laughs) Got us a boat.
Pacifica: Uh, we already have a boat.
Dipper: Yeah. Big boat.
Stan: I like this one better.
(He goes to the back where a pile of stuff under a sheet is and pulls the sheet off showing them some small crates of Spanish gold.)
Pacifica: (gasps) Wow!
Dipper: (excited) Stan, you beautiful sonofabitch!
Stan: Borrowed it off a couple of pirates who were too dead to care!
(A little while later, after they parked the cargo ship at the harbor, the three sail away from the island on the boat. Stan drives while Dipper stands at the back, looking at the island. Pacifica walks up next to him.)
Dipper: Sorry you didn't get your story.
Pacifica: (smiles) Ah, that's all right. There'll be other stories. (nudges him) You still owe me one.
(Dipper smiles and wraps his arm around her.)
Dipper: I'm good for it.
(The two continue watching the view around them as the boat sails into the horizon towards the sunset.)
THE END
And that's my Gravity Falls recast of the first Uncharted game. All the sequels are even better than the first so there's plenty more to look forward to. I'll have the recasts for the second, third and fourth games up someday soon. Goodbye, for now!
