While Akira was waiting at the MUPT, Lara and Tyler were just closing into a rift, but as they did Lara couldn't help but blush, this was the first time these two have been alone since the start of their adventure. As they followed the signal Tyler was looking around taking in the sites, they soon reached their destination, they found themselves in a dark alleyway.

"Okay keep a lookout, while I close this thing, I don't want people asking questions." She said Tyler turned around and Lara pulled the top out and activated it as it spun, a beam shot out and it closed up the rift. Lara picked it up and puts it away.

"Alright, got that done, should we head back?" Lara asked

"We could, but I was thinking since our last date was ruined, why don't we have a re-do?" He asked as he took her hands in his.

"I don't know, we're in unfamiliar territory." She said.

"Don't worry, I got it covered." He said as he directed her towards downtown, but as they were about to head towards they heard screaming.

"Of course." Tyler groaned as they headed towards the screaming area. Once there they found a herd of dark skin unicorns attacking humans.

"Are those… Unicorn?" Tyler asked.

"U-Unicorns!" Lara said with a slight blush from her cheeks. They soon stopped as hooded figures came from the carnage.

"Think that's the ring leader?" Tyler asked Lara.

"Maybe, but we should be careful, will take him by surprise and then…" Just then a unicorn saw them and started charging towards them, Tyler was about to run, but Lara grabbed him holding him in her arms, she jumped and got on top of the mystical creature, as it bucked, Lara and Tyler held on as they got tossed off, Lara regained her composer, she lifted her leg preparing for a dropkick but a black sludge caught her pinning her to a wall. Lara then looked at her assailant as it walked up to her.

"Strong-willed." It said as two tendrils popped out of the sludge holding her.

"Oh no I've caught Akira watching something like this, no way I'm going to get caught in this," Lara said as she managed to free her hand and grabbed them, she then managed to pull her hand out and grabbed the tendrils pulling them away from her, the creature screamed as he tossed her towards Tyler catching her.

"You okay Lara?" He asked

"Yeah, but that thing, something off about it." She said as the creature went towards them.

"Well, what should we do?" Tyler asked.

"Well we have two options, we can either let Akira deal with this, or we stay and fight, cause this seems like only he can take care of him." She said.

"I'm not so sure." She said. "But I can't let him keep protecting me!" She said as she rushed towards the creature, it notices and retaliates sending tendrils at her, she managed to dodge two of them and grabbed one as she held on as it pulled her towards the owner, as she got close she got ready to punch, but before she could connect it, she saw a blue light shine from the hood, she soon let's go as dark blue flames shot out, Lara's hand was caught in it, causing her to scream in pain, she jumps back and holds her burned hand.

"Lara!" Tyler screamed

"I'm fine, I can still fight!" She said gritting her teeth. She then rushes towards getting ready for another attack when more fire appeared in front of her, making her jump back.

"Alright get back." Lara looked up and saw a group of warriors welding spears.

"Huntsclan, secure the area, capture the unicorns." They ordered, the tweens looked over as they got ropes and nets. Catching the unicorns, as they surrounded the hooded figure, getting ready to attack, the figure then sent tendrils out stabbing the warriors, miniature one then went into their mouths as they dropped, the creature took a deep breath and spew fire again. The young hero then ran away, but Lara looked down and grabbed one of the spears and ran off, as they did, the remaining huntsclan managed to get away with the corrupted unicorns but left most of their men behind.

"Such weaklings." the figure said as he grabbed the bodies and inject his ooze into them, making them the same as all the other creatures.

"Go Find Dragon!" it ordered as they trudge away, in search of their target.
