"Shit shit shit shit shit." Lara kept repeating as his tried to get a grip on the rocks forming the slide. He was going fast and had no idea how far down he was going to be when it dropped him at his destination. He tried to calm himself down, wherever he ended up that was where he needed to be to get the Scion. He looked down and he could see a light coming up. "Alright next stop..." He trails off waiting for the exit while closing his eyes. After a few second he felt the slide disappear and he felt ground beneath him. He slowly stood up and looked around. "Oh a forest." He said looking around at the scenery slowly moving his eyes skyward. Overhead he sees a giant creature fly over and pauses. "Of dinosaurs..." He said slowly trying not to freak out. He decided it would be best to move quickly and keep his eyes open in case of more prehistoric predators.

A few hours pass as he moved his way through the forest seeing a few dinosaurs here and there but being as small as he is he was able to avoid drawing attention to himself. He saw a clearing coming up that opened into a big field with what looked like a stone structure in the middle of it. He slowly came out of the forest looking around seeing if there were any creatures around. It looked safe to him so he began walking toward the structure. "Man, I thought I'd at least have to fight off one dinosaur getting here." He said while undoing a wedgie in his pants. As he got closer he could see it looked like a smaller temple of the one he had entered before minus all the steps. He stopped standing in front of it. "Damn it, I was almost there too." He turned around to see three small dinosaurs standing behind him about 10 feet away. They were raptors with the one in the middle closer than the other two, it was clearly the pack leader. It was eyeing him closely and began to kneel down like it was about to charge. Another second passes and it flies forward head first at Lara. "Dumb ass," L thought leaning back slightly waiting for it to get closer. It came inches away from his face and Lara let fly a punch that was lightning quick straight into the raptor's jaw sending it reeling off to the side. "Wait what am I doing?" L said out loud as the creature was recovering from the uppercut. With a speed that only an expert marksman could demonstrate he grabbed his guns and shot a bullet into each head of the raptors. They each fell to the ground while he held his guns in the air close to his face. "I mean I do carry these things for this exact reason." He said doing the oh well motion with the guns in his hands. He holstered the pistols then stopped moving as he felt a tremor along the ground.

Without moving his head up to fully see he moved his eyes toward the forest. He could see a massive creature slowly moving through the forest toward the clearing. As it moved he heard a roar come from it that shook the ground again. "Yeah no, not dealing with that." He said quickly turning and going into the temple.

Inside the temple he began looking around, still feeling slight tremors from the creature outside. He could see a hallway leading deeper inside but couldn't see much farther in. He turned his head to the side and spat. "Just keep that money in mind." He started walking down the hall slowly keeping on the look out for traps. "You never know in these old ass things. Everyone trying to kill whoever enters it." He thought to himself. Just then he felt a button going down under his foot and saw two holes open in the wall to the left of him. An arrow shot out of the top hole and came flying at his face. He caught it inches from his face and let out a breath looking down slightly. He blinked a few times and saw another arrow sticking out of his thigh. He laughed a little and yanked it out, "At least it missed my massive dong." He took a few seconds to let the pain go down and kept going on.

He made his way into a big room with a giant fountain in the middle of it. The fountain had what looked like a two headed shark leaping up and shooting water out of it's mouths. The walls were covered in ancient painting that look like they depicted a war and a city falling into a large body of water. He made his way toward the fountain and looked into it, it was really shallow for such a big fountain. He walked all the way around it going back and forth looking at the walls and the fountain. "Ahhhhh, I hate this puzzle shit." He said shaking his head. He looked up at the shark heads and noticed one of the eyes looked different than then others. "Well I'm not climbing my ass up there." He said pulling out a pistol and aiming it at the eye. He fired one shot at it and it shattered. The fountain stopped shooting water and the floor of it slowly began to move downward becoming a stairway. He waited for the water to flown down before stepping in and going down the stairs.

As he made his way to the bottom of the staircase he could see a large amount of light coming from the room within. He stepped into it revealing what looked like a cave with a hole in the ceiling letting light pour in. At the other side of the cave was another skeleton sitting on a throne. In his left hand sat a small object while his right hand rested on a rusted sword. He walked over to the throne and studied the object that was in his hand. It was about palm sized and looked like a smooth stone with a symbol on it. He put his hand on it looking at the skeleton and around. He closed his eyes and picked up the stone. He tensed up expecting something bad to happen but after a few seconds opened his eyes. He began to relax as the skull turned and looked at him. "Keep it safe" It said and fell of the skeleton. L jumped back not expecting that to happen. "Jesus fuck, stay dead." He said while pointing at the skull. After pocketing the Scion he saw a symbol appear on the left side of the cave. He walked over to it and gave it a confused look. He then looked to his left and his right. He shrugged and said, "Let's hope something happens. He reached out and touched the symbol. The wall felt like syrup and pulled his hand in. He tried fighting it but it was no use he was pulled in completely.

Next thing Lara knew he was flung from a wall into a room. He hit the ground and slowly got up brushing himself off. He looked around and noticed he was in the room of the first temple. "Glad that worked out." He said walking toward the exit. He started down the stairs and looked at the site below. It seemed deserted besides one person but he couldn't quite make them out yet. As he got closer he realized it was Conway, and he was on the phone with someone. "Hey Conner buddy long time no see." He waved as he came into earshot. Conway turned to him and quickly hung up. "It's Conway Mr. Croft. I take it you found the artifact?"

L took it out of his pocket and showed him. "Yep, and even better I kicked a raptor's ass." He laughed not seeing the look on Conway's face. Conway reached down into his belt and pulled out a gun holding it toward Lara. "I'll take that , no sudden movements please." L looked shocked. "Conner what are you doing?"

"I said it's Conway you damn fool!" Conway almost screamed. "Now hand over the Scion." L looked over him, he was serious but he had made a mistake by not having his finger on the trigger and instead held it on the side of the gun. In a quick move Lara dropped the Scion and pulled out both pistols firing one shot out of each. One hitting Conway's gun knocking it out of his hand and the other shot hitting him in the stomach.

Conway fell to his knees. "How the hel..." He trailed off grabbing his stomach in pain. L put one pistol away and picked back up the Scion. He walked over to Conway and held his other pistol to his head. "Tell me everything douche bag."

Conway's eyes looked almost wild as he spat out "You think you can stop her? Natla will get the Scion and find Atlantis. She will get their technology and she will rule this wretched wor.." At that moment L accidentally sneezed jerking forward and pulling the trigger killing Conway before he could finish. He looked down at the body and sucked air through his teeth "My bad Conner, you know how allergies are."

He pulled out a compass and took a look at it before pocketing it again. "Now to find that bitch and get my money."
