Prologue

 

        

Álister smiled. He/she was happy that Zip stopped worrying.
         During 2 years the days they lapsed without too much animation. The life was not so amusing and exciting without Lara.
         One day, a letter arrived. Winston opened it and he/she stayed reading it.
 
Hello boys. I am in the ruins of Tiwanako. Venidme to look for the quickest thing possible that here is cold.
           A greeting Lara
 
         3 hours had not passed when a helicopter landed in Bolivia. Álister, Zip and Winston got off him. They were surprised when seeing Lara dressed with a dress lilac and red. They hardly believed it to him.
-Hello, friends.
-Lara! We missed you!
-It supposed that yes.
         When returning to the Mansion, their uncle Errol was before the door with two men dressed with a black tuxedo.
-What do you make here, Errol? Have you bought yourself your own "Men in Black?"
-Very amusing, niece. Agents, stop it.
-Hey?- he/she screamed throwing back when seeing approach to the two men with some wives.
-Of what do you go? You don't have anything for that that to accuse me!
-Yes. For homicide. For more than 30 homicides.
-What?
-Let us see. First we have a certain Larson, later multiple men and their leader, Marco Bartoli. Do you want him to continue?
-I have permits of the army, stupid! I am a green beret!
-Ah yes. They have been annulled.
         The two men put Lara in police's car.

Chapter 1

   

-Help me! Please, Zip!
-I sit down it, Lara.
         Zip had gone to prison to visit Lara. He/she had not still gone in opinion, but it was murmured that Errol had bribed the judge so that the pain outside of death.
         Lara stayed looking to the floor, while Zip went away. Then, he/she lifted the look; he/she had made a decision and he/she already knew that to make.
         It arrived the night and a guard began to make guard. Lara left to the nude its leg and it waved in the air a note of 50 that he/she had stolen to Zip. Before this, the guard came closer, to only receive a strong blow against the bars that he left it unconscious. To the moment, Lara removed him/her the keys, and he/she opened the door of its cell.
-Close all the entrances and exits! What nobody comes closer or leave the prison! Movéos those of security! Can one know that devils make?- this is what the one in charge repeated during the half following hour, without leaving respiration to the men of security, but the fugitive was not opposing.
         One hour later, a moto arrived at the Mansion Croft. An admired mansion, just the opposite of the person that lived inside. This Mansion Croft was not the home of recently fugitive Lara Croft. It was the mansion of Errol Croft.
         Lara jumped inside the window that had just forced in the second floor. It had been a challenge to climb the ivy branches until arriving to that height. He/she went into in the room, their horrible uncle's room, with him sleeping same apaciguadamente in an enormous futón in the center of the room.
         Lara took a moment to inspect the stay, full with its uncle's squares, it was seen clearly that there he/she lived a selfish man, thief and bad person.
         To the moment, Lara rushed on its relative, and it placed him/her a next knife to its neck. Errol woke up. He/she tried to scream but their niece gagged him. Then, Lara took out him/her the bandage of the mouth and he/she began to ask him/her.
-How have you annulled my permits of green beret, Errol?
-Me han.- made a pain grimace - A friend fixed me that.
-Already, you bribed him, like to the judge that you wanted that it killed me. You are scum Errol. It should kill you. As soon as it recovers my permits nobody it will reproach me your murder. But good, I have your confession.- this told it taking out of their pocket a recorder.
-No!
         Suddenly police mermaids sounded. Somebody should have seen it when it was climbing.
         Of a jump it returned to the garden, but some shots destroyed the recorder.
-Mie * * *!- he/she screamed.
         Then, he/she saw as several police cars they came closer. It left running and it arrived to the moto. It pulled up it and it hurried, but the cars came closer. He/she began to have. fear.

 

Chapter 2   

 

Lara hurried as much as he/she could. Its uncle's house was after a mount that there was in the city, therefore he/she lived alone with the sounds of the nature the whole day. The bad thing of this is that, until their niece didn't arrive to the city, the policemen had almost everything to favor because there was not another driver with the one that to confuse it.
         Before this, to Lara he/she was happened an idea. Instead of continuing for the highway that surrounded the whole mount, on-line straight line he/she would go crossing it.
         He/she gave a turn later to the moto that made that the wheels creaked, before colliding with the cars patrol car, he/she gave a jump with their vehicle being helped of a salient one in the floor, and of it put in the mount.        
         It was much more difficult to drive somewhere around, but the policemen would have to wait to that reinforcements ended up, since a car didn't fit among the trees.
         Lara continued hurrying while it avoided the multiples obstacles that he/she went finding, at the same time that it sketched a smile in the face. But it lasted him/her a little. He/she remembered that the recorder with its uncle's confession had broken. Now it was in white regarding as demonstrating their innocence.
         When it finally arrived to the city, it parked the moto and he/she entered with her in an alley. Several minutes later, he/she observed as the cars patrol car they arrived of surrounding the mount, and as the motos that he/she had requested to cross the mount they arrived broken and wornout with their drivers full with branches and courts.
         In their face a smile appeared again. It climbed a little for the wall of the alley and it arrived to the roof of the building. Their jacket was taken out that used like a blanket and it was sleeping.
         Hours later a hoot startled it. He/she came from their backpack. It was their search. It took out it and he/she saw that Álister had left him/her a message. The men of Errol had gone to the mansion asking for her and they had hurt Winston gravely. They didn't know where Zip was.
         Lara hurried put on its jacket again. In the message it put that Winston was in the hospital. It broke the glass of a near clothing store replacing the gear exposed by notes of 100 $.
.......
-Hello. In what room is Winston Smith?- he/she asked time later to the receptionist of the hospital.
-Room 419.
-Oh, very kind.- Lara said under its disguise.
         It arrived to the room and he/she saw Winston in a bed, with Álister to the side, which was startled when seeing it and he/she started to scream:
-Aunt Celia! What surprise! How did you know that it was in the hospital?- he/she asked euphoric making expressions with the head. Lara understood it at once. A camera watched over them.
-Oh! I called to your work and they told me that you were here.- that was an error. Álister worked in the mansion Croft.
         Almost a second, a group of hoodlums, probably of Errol, he/she entered in the room pointing with guns.
         Lara jumped for the window without noticing that it was in a floor 32.
         It lowered at full speed when he/she saw a mast. It was able to grab it in the fair moment but the pressure of the impact almost breaks him/her the arm.
         He/she stayed looking to the floor. It should still be at least in the floor 20.
         A noise scared her, the mast began to take off the wall.
 

Chapter 3

  

Lara started to think. The building was made totally of glass, therefore, the windows didn't have a windowsill to which could hold on to.
         The mast will already come unfastened completely when he/she remembered its guns. It took out an and it shot to a window. Then, when the mast gave, you ascended above and from there he/she could catch impulse to arrive to the interior of the room with the window that had broken.
                   In the room there was a man in a stretcher. He/she had spot of being enough bigger.
-Good afternoon - Lara said.
         The man continued with face of astonishment.
         Before the hoodlums of Errol arrived, it left the room and he/she entered in an elevator until arriving at the ground floor, but, for their surprise, before the doors of the access of the elevator of the ground floor they were already waiting for it.
         Lara didn't have more remedy. He/she gave a jump and, amid him, he/she treated him/her a kick in the face to one of the men.
         Then, he/she slipped it lowered the legs of the other one and he/she gave him/her with the gun in the back, the one which, it was broken.
         When already not being more men of conscious Errol, he/she began to run at full speed down the street, still coming undone of parts of their disguise.
         At the end, it arrived to the moto and it put heading for the airport. He/she had go to make a visit to Japan.
         At the 24 following hours somebody stamped in the door of Toru Nishimura. He/she opened the door and he/she was surprised when seeing Lara. Then, he/she told him/her quickly that it happened and he/she locked the door.
-I sit down to enter in these messes Nishimura.
-It doesn't pass anything, Lara. Why have you come?
-I need that you help me to look for the computer best pirates that exist. Somebody walks always behind me, my uncle's hoodlums always go there where he/she goes. But alone they appear when I use some electronic object - he/she said while he/she remembered that the policemen had appeared of using the recorder that could be used also as a PDA, and also that before and to go to the hospital had used the search.
         Hours and hours and Lara happened it was surprised when he/she saw that in heaps of clever Zip he/she was the main pirate of the net.
-By the way, Lara - did Nishimura begin when he/she noticed the repeated name of Zip - Your friends.? Do I mean. are Winston, Álister and Zip well?
-Yes. Good, it depends. To Winston they have hurt him and now it is in the hospital. Zip is in unknown whereabouts and Álister it is low interrogation visiting Winston when he/she can.
-I understand.
         Suddenly, to Lara it sounded him/her the search again. Would it be again Álister? He/she looked at it and he/she realized what had happened when not seeing any message. At the little time some men began to bang on the main door of apartment of Nishimura.
         

Chapter 4

The door of the apartment one came below and four men entered in the floor.
-Can I help them in something?- Nishimura asked coming closer to them.
         One of the men looked at it fixedly and later it shot him/her.
-You!- the man that had shot another that was looking screamed from behind - it Takes this garbage it was.
         The other man took out the cadaver it was.
         Again, the one that seemed the boss of the group, started to look to all parts, until a grenade exploded before its face, provoking him/her the death to him and another more ones.
         The one that transported the cadaver returned with the one that had survived. They took out their firearms and they began to point to all parts.
         Suddenly, they felt the cold steel of two guns in the back part of their head. Lara was aiming them with its twin guns.
-How have you arrived there?- one of the men asked.
-For the breathing conduit.
         At the end, he/she simply left them unconscious and bundles to a table of the apartment. For sure some neighbor realized and he called to the police.
         For the first time, Lara was before a great dilemma. If he/she didn't come off of their electronic objects, perhaps he/she would have men pursuing her day and night until it was demonstrated innocent, if it is that him ago. But if he/she made it, and Winston or any dear other person happened him/her something, she would not have form of knowing it.
         At the end he/she realized, that she had always conquered. He/she made the decision of keeping everything.
         When it returned to the street he/she found a limousine of Errol. The men should have arrived in that vehicle.
-Aaaah!- he/she heard a scream inside the building. Somebody should have seen the remains of Nishimura.
         It forced the doors and you ascended to the luxurious transport. It pulled up it with a key teacher that had and he/she went away of there as much as he/she could.
         When it was in the outskirts, he/she left the limousine next to a tree and he/she started to inspect the part of behind.
         He/she had some very comfortable seats of black leather, with a tray to put drinks or foods on one hand.
Suddenly it was amazed when seeing what company it had built the vehicle in some papers that there was in the guantera: Natla Technologies.
 

Chapter 5

        

Lara went to Croft-Tech. Their uncle's company. Their father's only possession that Lara had not been able to inherit.
It arrived at the lobby and he/she noticed all the details. The exterior of the building was made totally of glass. Inside of, also the furniture, seats, exposed and other objects were, or of glass, or of a material that didn't recognize, but that it was also very brilliant and completely clean.
He/she listened clap near there. It came from a door that there was in a lateral one. Miró to the roof and he/she noticed some scaffolds that were strained to the room. With a couple of jumps it arrived to a superior platform and he/she went into in the room.
It was very big. In circle form. It was divided in two sections. The first semicircle was divided in seats. The line hit to the wall playing the roof was almost. The following ones went lowering, the same as a cinema. The second part was a scenario with a microphone in the center and a holographic screen to a side, in that Sción, thing was shown which interested even more to Lara.
-.por the so much thing - it continued the man that was in the microphone, going at the hundred of people that there were in the seats - our best archaeologists are already in the search of Scion. A potent device, coming from Atlantis.
         That caused a great commotion in the room. Lara noticed a little more and he/she noticed that the man that spoke was Errol.
-And all this - he/she said concluding - we appreciate it to almost missing Natla Technologies.
         Lara didn't tolerate more. He/she had to return to the Great Pyramid. He/she had to check if their worst enemy continued caught.
.........
 
         The following day, Lara landed with a helicopter before the entrance to the pyramid, now made a heap of burnt and ashy stones.
         It arrived to the camera where he/she had left Natla noticing in that all those fire inscriptions were no longer, not at least recorded in the walls.
         He/she came closer to the column that was in the floor. It was not seen anybody, and it was too small to hide anybody. He/she had to leave some extremity to have somebody.
         He/she began to walk through the rest of the rooms, observing everything, but he/she didn't find Natla or any other thing that it had served him/her.
         Then it arrived at the room where the platforms were. There Sción had destroyed and to the monster giant atlas. Would they follow the broken pieces of the device there?
         With their hook it was opening up step until arriving to the superior platform.
         As the last time, there he/she was the rock where Sción should be. It registered a little and at the end, it got it.
         He/she caught the three broken parts and he/she hit them. It didn't pass anything. Suddenly everything changed. All the fire inscriptions returned. The ashes, the burnt stones and all the explosion rakes disappeared and, the best thing of everything, was that the incredible device that had in their hands united, and it began to shine.
         Lara stayed looking at it, astonished, until something crossed him/her the heart. It was rotated with the few forces that he had left. Natla had nailed him/her one of its wings, but it was accompanied by other 2 men. Lara recognized one: Errol but the other one. was Zip?
 

Chapter 6      

        

-Pick up the cadaver - Natla ordered Errol and its mysterious companion.
         Suddenly, Sción began to shine with a light cegadora that illuminated the whole stay. Then, when the light, Lara ceased it was already in foot again, trackless some of the cut of the wing of Natla.
-What has it happened?- the strange man said, although, for the first time, Lara saw it. For the first time he/she understood why they always followed it through electronic objects. The man was Zip.
-Zip? What these making?
-Taking advantage of the opportunity that your you didn't give me! Natla has offered the opportunity to reign with her in The Seventh Age.
-Another time the seventh age. Natla already mentioned it when we fight in the 96. Can one know that it is?
-It doesn't concern you, Lara - Errol said.
-Not you chulees, Errol. For sure neither you know it.
         Their uncle rushed on her to hit him/her. Lara avoided it, with a kick in the air knocked down Natla and Zip and, later, before Errol attacked it again, it shot him/her in the knee.
         He/she hit an enormous scream when contemplating their knee. Lara jumped and he/she gave him/her a kick in the face while it flew over it, later, he/she fell behind him and he/she gave him/her a blow in the skull with the gun, that which, he/she left it unconscious in the floor.
         Lara aimed him/her with the gun but a fire ball took out him/her the gun of the hand.
         Zip had transformed into a demon atlas. It began to fly throwing him/her more fire balls. It avoided them like he/she could.
         After a while, Natla also began to fly to help Zip, until it was able to grab it with the neck but, Lara caught the gun and it shot, but the queen from Atlantis deviated the bullet toward Zip with a blaze and him that I/you/he/she was not completely atlas, she fell to the floor, screaming because he ran out of life, until it returned to its human, dead form.
         Lara contained the tears and, it took advantage of that Natla thought that it was distracted to give him/her a kick, with what came unfastened.
         It left running toward Sción thinking of their only alternative that had a million error possibilities. Sción caught and it threw it to Natla, being nailed it. Both evaporated in an intense light, but the Great Pyramid collapsed again.
         He/she began to run and he/she hardly survives, but at the end it was able to return to the helicopter.

 

EPILOGUE

The funeral of Zip was the following week. They bought a casket, but there was not any body inside.
         Lara, through the hoodlums of Errol recovered its permits of the army, with what was a respected person again, but he no longer cared it. Zip, their great friend had abandoned her. It had betrayed her. It could not be believed it.
         He/she entered in their room, he/she put on a nightwear and he/she threw in the bed. He/she could not sleep. He/she had many nightmares. He/she woke up at 4 in the morning. He/she went to look for their slippers to their closet and it hardly contains a scream when seeing the figure that he/she waited for it in the interior: Kurtis Trent.
