It was a beautiful day at the Croft Manor in the past three years after her long adventure around the world and obtained Scion, Dagger of Xian and the Meteorite Artefacts. After her previous adventures, Lara was sleeping in her bedroom at night. Since after watching some horror movies on Halloween, she feels sleepy and decided to go to sleep. During her sleep, she begins to have the strange dream about the previous journeys...but everything has changed...
In Great Pyramid, Lara meets Natla, who revealed to be one of the Atlantean Rulers. After Natla falls to death, Lara fought the giant torso mutant. But back at the Tomb of Qualopec, Lara was trapped in the endless chamber and is attempted to run with the first piece of the Scion. She finds herself back to the vault where the Scion remains was placed inside the display. The remain dead body of Qualopec unleashed the curse around the mansion, turning the place into the cursed tomb. Lara runs as fast as she can when the boulder rolling on her. After reaching to the tomb, she walked on the altar and placed the Scion on it. Qualopec's skeleton unleashes the curse on her, caused her to fall, screaming.
The next dream is Temple of Xian, Lara falls to the ground to finds the Dagger of Xian. But before she could touch, she falls to the endless road and throwing away to the side of the room. Lara gets up to find Marco Bartoli, the most dangerous leader of Italian Fiamma Nera cult, stabbed himself with the dagger and is taken by the ninja to the Dragon's Lair. Then, she finds herself inside of Dragon's Lair and the gate is opened. Lara runs inside the lair, attempting to take the dagger from Bartoli's body. But Bartoli's body transforms into the giant dragon, attacking Lara. Soon as she shoots the dragon and falls to the ground, she takes the dagger out of the body which turned into skeleton. But it was too late to escape from the fallen temple as the explosion occurs, throwing Lara away, screaming.
The third and final dream is Meteorite Cavern, Lara rushed too late to stop Dr. Mark Willard from summoning the meteor as he took his life himself, turned himself into spider mutant. But the screen changed to dimensional world, where Lara confronts Sophia Leigh and trying to evade Sophia's attacks. She runs toward four Meteorite Artefacts to reclaim them, but Tony and the Puma chief blast her with energy blasts. Lara loses her balance and falls to the deep hole.
Lara woke up in Croft Manor's main hall and realized that was just a dream. But as she walks to the vault to check out the treasures, she collected from three previous adventures; the horde of the previous enemies Lara eliminates them then started to chase her out to the garden. But the sky has changed to red, and the enemies were surrounding her.
Sophia: We got you now, Miss Croft!
Larson: You won't escape from us, Lara Croft!
Marco: Just to hell with you, Croft!
Lara: Damn! I'll fight back...What the...
The sound of big footsteps shaking on the ground and Lara witnesses something terrifying her in the eyes. The giant, mutated Natla walks toward Lara and...
Lara: Jacqueline Natla?! It's that really you?!
Mutated Natla: Lara Croft! It's time to die!
Lara: You can't beat me! No one attack me anymore!
Mutated Natla: Then, prepare to die! Lara Croft!
The mutated Natla then grabbed Lara by her foot with giant fingers. As the screen turns black, we only hearing Lara screams as Natla smashes her to death. Following by the evil laughs from all villains.
?: Miss Croft...Miss Croft?! Wake up, Lara!
Someone called Lara in the background and...Lara laying down in the garden, dead. Then...Lara jolts up from the bed and gasps in horror. She realized that was all the dream. Lara looks around to see Lulu Alden here.
Lara: Lulu? What are you doing here?
Lulu: Just to see you for Halloween. Are you okay?
Lara: Fine...That was...Just a dream...Is anything okay?
Lulu: Yup. Looks like you have a bad dream about previous three adventures while you are in sleeping.
Lara: Just great! At least all of treasures are okay. Everything is gonna be better.
Lulu: Good. Wanna go with us for trick-or-treats tour and costume party for Halloween?
Lara: Sounds nice! Let's go!
Lara gets up and change her clothes to Halloween costume. She, Lulu and the children of Charity Center are going for trick-or-treats tour. Lara has much better since the nightmare is over.
