after they rescue thier friends Ash and Lara explores burning and crumbling temple in search of Sam. the two jumped to another ledge, which led into another cavern, but the place was still shaking and falling apart, so ran as fast as they could.
"We're out, but this place is falling apart!" said Jonah on the radio then they heard Roth "I've set up a rendezvous point back across the bridge. The chopper's going to be here soon!" said Roth
"Ash and Lara's still looking for Sam and Whitman." Jonah replied as Ash was almost knocked off his feet by an explosion, but he and Lara kept going. "You know I'm really starting to hate this place!" Ash replied as They eventually managed to make out into the Solarii's fortress, but there was fire everywhere.
"Goddamn it… what happened down there?!" said the Solari talking to the other "They've angered the Sun Queen…!" said the other as Ash and Lara ran through the fortress, explosions constantly erupting, but they managed to avoid them and the fires.
"That's insane! Let's get out of here!" All the men were running to escape, so no one bothered them. "Fall back to the Palace! Come on! The ceiling's coming down! What are you doing? Go! Go! Ahhh, god!" Ash and Lara looked over the edge
"Help! Anyone! I don't want to die! Ahhhh!" the solari said as Ash and Lara keep running "Keep moving… just keep moving.'" said Lara
"Ahhhh!" he screamed as he fell to his death
"Oh god… I can't hold on." said the other as he dropped too
"Let's get out of here!" said Reyes as they are running while the temple is collapsing "We're trapped! Look out!" as the burned wood landed on them
"Time to get out of here!" said the other "But the Oueen… she's in the shrine." said the solari as the temple is crumbling "Ahhhh." the other screamed as he fell to his death "Let's get out of here!" while the others are running for thier lives
"…too much smoke. Can't breathe!" as the way out was blocked "We're trapped!" they said then Ash and Lara were making their way across to the other side, a man covered in fire suddenly fell over and into the gorge, below! They climbed till they got to a ledge, then ran until they found a room with papers, maps and other things.
Ash and Lara looked at a photo of Mathias. "That's Mathias Ash." she said
then they grabbed the book on the table and saw something about the fire ritual,
"No one leaves… That's what we heard in Japanese before the plane crashed. The ritual from Himiko's tomb… I don't get it Lara Why is Mathias so interested in it?"
"We'll find out later Ash," Lara grabbed a map off the wall that had a specific destination marked. they climb on the roof. the two them were running back outside, where more explosions were happening.
"We go! people trapped in the west tower! Let's move!" said the solari as they're running "Ahhhh! Run! Retreat to the shrine!"
"Come on, take my hand… you can do it." said the other "Let's go Lara!" Ash replied as As they ran, they were suddenly being fired at.
"It's the outsiders… take them out!" as they continue firing "Keep them away from the Shrine!" as Lara shot arrows and Ash used his Flamethrower ability, quickly killing the few Solarii they saw. They jumped over to the next building and looted the bodies for ammo. After killing the mercenaries when they got further in, the smoke dissipated, and Dr. Whitman came around the corner.
"Ash, Lara, you're alive..." as Ash punched him at the face and a tooth came out "So are you… and Ash nice hit." Lara said as Ash helps him out " that is for selling out Lara and What happened to you?" Ash said
"Once they stopped seeing me as a threat, they let me move about almost freely!" he said to them
"Did you know the others were captured?" Lara asked him "Yes, yes… Sam's in there, but I couldn't free her without a weapon. These Solarii are an anthropological marvel, Ash and Lara!" he said
"They're insane murderers. Dr. Whitman! We need to get our people out of here." said Lara
"Of course, of course. I'll keep a look out here… you… You call me when it's safe." Whitman replied as Ash and Lara headed down the hall, then came to a large chamber with many red pillars with gold painted designs.
"I don't think you understand. You have been chosen, Samantha. This is a great honor for you; for all of us. Some were beginning to doubt we'd ever find you… But here you are." said Mathias as Ash and Lara snuck closer to see Mathias talking to Sam.
"Please. I know you thunk I'm something special. But I'm not. I don't want to be chosen." said Sam
"This is not about what you want. It's about what you are. Himiko's blood runs in your veins. I think you know this. Samantha." said Mathias
"You're insane, Mathias. Why are you doing this?" said Sam as Ash and Lara both glanced at each other.
"You're searching for logic and reason where there is none. I made the same mistake once. Back when I thought ships could reach us and planes wouldn't fall from the sky." he said to Sam
"I just want to go home." Sam replied only for Mathias to grab her by the throat.
"So do I, girl! I've waited years for this moment… I've given my life! Don't you think I've tried to get away from here? From this place! We are all trapped here. But you, Samantha, you have the power to release us! Many have given up their souls willingly for this gift!" he said
"The fires are getting worse. The other girl's vanished cause the outsider came!" he said as Mathias growled and prepared to leave,
"This must be ended. Dmitri, guard her with your life." as Mathias leaves and Lara shoot Dmitri with her bow. then Ash killed Nikolai behind with his hidden shotgun send him flying by a Wilhelm scream
"Ash Lara! Oh my god, you're here. I was beginning to think I was going crazy." said Sam
"It's okay, it's okay… It's going to be okay." said Lara then Ash spoke "We should leave before he comes back." Ash said as they nodded "My weapons!" Lara took her weapons, and they went back the way they came,
"How are we ever going to get out of here?' Sam asked them as They came to the hall where Whitman was, but he was gone. "Whitman! Whitman! Where the hell is he?" Lara wondered
"I have a bad feeling about this." Ash said Soon, the three of them hurried to get out of the shrine as fast as they could, but as they were about to round a corner, Whitman suddenly appeared...with his hands behind his back.
"Run, Lara, run!" said Whitman although it doesn't sound like he was very scared. Mathias came from a behind him,
"Get them!" Two men ran towards them, but Ash throw his Explosive cards at the ceiling, exploded making some flaming wood fall on them,
"Back! Back into the throne room!" Lara shouted They ran back to the throne room, but Sam ran faster. She almost got crushed by more collapsing wood, Ash move forward and pushed her to safety. Sam had made it out of the throne room, but now it was blocked off and Lara and Ash were still in it.
"Run!" Whitman shouted
"Ash! Lara!" Sam shouted to her friends "Keep going, Sam! we'll find another way out." said Lara as More Solarii came into the throne room, but Lara and Ash already had their machine guns out.
"There! There they are… pin them down!" they said shooting "Yes, come on! Come on!" one of them shouted
"they're behind the fire pot - flush them out!" they said "Eat lead!" Ash and Lara shouted together as they began to shoot at some of them, "Watch it! The fire's spreading!" said the Solari
"They're behind the pillar…" the solari shouted Lara killed one with her pickaxe, while Ash slashes three of them with Dragon claw "The chosen one has escaped! Get out there and find her!" one of them said
"Come on, pick it up! We can't let her escape." said the Solari as the fight continues "Get out of here!" they said
"Move, move, move!" one shouted "Hey, get outside, the chosen one has escaped into the city!" said the Solari was saying he spot Sam into the city
"Come on, move it! We have to find her!" one of the Solari shouted "Sound the alarm! Warn the gate watch! Go! Find the chosen one!" they said
"These two are mine," said a man behind a gatling gun.
"Lara GET DOWN!" Ash shouted Soon, the two found themselves under fire, and no matter where they took cover, the bullets ended up destroying the walls they hid behind!
"What are we going to do?!" Lara asked.
Ash has a idea as he and Lara turns invisible thanks to Camouflage ability made Lara amazed and ran to a nearby wall to climb up. At the top was a zipline that led right to the Gatling gun.
they change back and rode down it, kicking the guy at the gun, then tried to turn it to shoot them, but the man pushed it over the edge.
The man aimed his gun at Lara, who was lying on the ground, but she dodged it and grabbed a makeshift grenade launcher on the ground.
"Go to hell," she muttered, then fired a grenade at him, blowing him up. by then Lara ran over to Ash, "Ash that was incredible!" she said to him
"Thanks," Ash said, then handed her the grenade launcher. "I can do this." as he used his Alchemy to make a Grenade launcher similar to a Greymon head
Lara looked at the grenade launcher before she tied it to her rifle, then used it to blow up a gate.
"Oh, shit, they got two grenade launchers!" cried one of the Solarii. "RUN!"
"That's right! Run, you bastards! we're coming for you all!" said Lara as they were fighting them "they killed Dmitri and Nikolai! Where did they get those things?'" as some were send flying by the launchers
"What the hell happened here? Oh shit, it's the outsiders… they made it out. And they have a fucking grenade launchers!" they said as Ash used his blood blades striking them
"Stay away from me!" said Lara as she's shooting "Come with us… we won't hurt you." they said then both Ash and Lara shoot them
"Stay back!" Ash said as he continues fighting "Goddamn it, don't hurt that girl! We need her alive!" they shouted as they found Sam they they strike them
"No… stop!" the solari then Lara and Ash shot them "Sam! Run!" They said as Sam runs "Go get her… move!" they said as Ash and Lara defends Sam "those two had a goddamn gun and sword. We couldn't take her. Go get her… move!" they said then Ash blast them with his new launcher
"Ah fuck… move out… keep looking! We have to find her! Get word to the main gate." they said as the fight continues
"She's down there. See if you can get a shot. Get me some light!" as Ash notice the solar has a other turret with light one of the Solarii holding a flaming bottle. "Lara keep moving I'll catch up"
"NO ASH WAIT!!!!!" Lara shouted as the Solarii man threw the bottle down at the barrels of explosives, which soon blew up and forced Lara to seek higher ground. As they began to climb higher and higher, the explosive barrels kept igniting, one after the other.
Once they climbed to the top, they found a zipline that they could use to escape.
"There she is, take her out!" they said as they're firing at her
"Shoot now! Fire! Don't let her get too close!" the solari said as Ash is defending her "Keep going Lara!" Ash shouted as Lara has her Grenade launcher
"She's got a grenade launcher! Take her out before she gets too close! Keep it up, we almost got her!" as Lara fires her launcher blasted the tanks sending them and the bulding to blow up
"You're not stopping me!" said Lara as she reaches to Sam "Lara! Lara! Climb over, come on!" Sam said as LarLara realise Ash is not coming
"Head for Roth. I'll follow. And don't get on the helicopter. I have to find Ash." Lara said to Sam "No I want to help too." she said
"Just trust me, please trust me! Go!" as Sam runs for the copter "Ash I'm coming!" Lara went back to find her love
(After a couple of minutes…)
Ash was up seeing the Building crumble "Well I'm lucky to survive oh wait that's right i can't die." but Ash see something different like he was up top of the mountain but cold as ice "I'm at the mountain but why?" he wondered as he see himself on a throne with the empress beside him "That's me with Himiko but why?" then he sees all the leaders of the world bowing before as the emperor of the world.
"No i couldn't conquer the world." He sees the people paying homage to him giving him Gifts of treasure food and fine clothing. Part of them is quite fascinated of this is what his life would be if he were to take over no crime or War finally a world at peace.
"Waot where's my family?" Ash said as he realizes that none of his family is there. Not his mother his sisters his wives ryuko Twilight any of his friends
"My Emperor and Empress." as Ash looks behind he sees Matthias walking up to him routed in Golden garments as he gives praise to the emperor and empress and her beloved emperor. But beside him is Lara "I brought you your slave by your private moment my emperor." what shocked Ash was Lara was stripped nude bound became a slave to him her tears were sign of broken "No this is something I never want" as Ash throws the crown off of his head but learns it's gone and he was surrounded by darkness then saw the spirit of Himiko
"Greetings Ash i was expecting you?" she said as Ash was confused "How did you know who i am there's no way you can see me..." as Himiko shows her form
"You're... "
Lara was searching for Ash over the spot "Ash...Ash that's not funny!" she said as she heard someone coming she looks and saw it's Whitman "Whitman it's only you." she said but something she notice different about him lose his mind "You I can't believe you did this Lara all these terrible things have happened because of you!" Whitman shouted at Lara he blames her for everything
"Whitman what's with you?" she said as Whitman was getting closer "Now I'm going to get my revenge on you!" Whitman said As Lara is alone with him he picks up a stick as Lara is trying to get her bearings on where they are he hits her in the back of the head with the stick knocking her out unconscious.
He catches her before she falls to the ground lays her down and starts he starts to grow her "No better since my wife and I are divorced I'll make you mine trophy wife but you will wear nothing." he replied as he starts taking off her clothes ripped them to pieces and her bra and panties as well leaving her completely naked. "My you are one beautiful thing." He goes for the breast first sucking on them and drinking her milk "Don't worry I'll make it more better." then takes off her pants and underwear and starts eating her out Lara starts to moan and starts to come around "Oh Ash...yes I thought i never see you again." Lara was thinking it might be Ash but then her vision clears and sees Whitman before she even realizes it she releases her love juice into his mouth
"You no I can't believe that I came from your affection. In her stunned State Whitman takes his pants off gets on top of her "No get off of me." Lara tries to fight him off but Whitman gets on top of her to trace to fight him off but he's much stronger "No Lara I'm gonna make you mine I'll continue fucking you till you fall for me." as he penetrate her she lets out a cry of surprise "Whitman...mmmmmm please stop get off of me!" she begged but he's not listening as he starts pounding her he then forcibly kisses her while continuing to play with her breasts "I must get off of him.'"she tries to get him off of her but then suddenly he releases his seed into her womb and she goes as still as a board in shock. She starts to tear up
"I allowed another man to rape me and worse Whitman plant his seed into me..." she is afraid that she might get pregnant from Whitman's seed "Now Ash will reject me." as she see a vision of Ash not happy "how could she betray me Lara you said you will be with me but I am wrong." as he faded then Whitman looking at her "Finally i broken you my naked sex wife it's all your fault" he said as he's still starts thrusting again into her while Lara is mentally shattered Whitman then continues to pound her wanting more and continuing to say all her fault all her fault "No I am not yours I Love Ash and i never betray him!" as Lara suddenly use her Aura at Whitman just the Lara saw she's okay still wearing her clothes and Whitman is gone
"This island it can make fears alive but." she looks at her symbol "I knew you never abandoned me Ash..." as she suddenly felt a other source but it's inside her "Oh my...I'm..." Lara was out of words but wonder why
Ash on the other hand sees Himiko's half shows a Alicorn "You're a half Alicorn like me." as she nodded "Yes my mother was a queen but human when she met my father was a Unicorn which they found love and I was born but as a Alicorn i was hoping to see my father till you killed him." as Ash looks at her similarity then hits him
"Sombra was your father." Ash said as she nodded then went closer "I thank you for thst you see my father was cruel but i can make you my king." as Himiko was trying to seduce him as she's kissing him and he starts kissing back and even grabs her butt and plays with her breasts and Himiko reaches down to get his rod out but when he senses Lara in danger he pushes her away from him
"never I never give her up." Ash then rushes towards going to save Lara and Himiko looks after him wanting him ever more biting her finger saying such devotion
"I'll make sure you fail." she said as Ash was heading to her location then hears her voice "Stoooopppp please get off" it was Lara's voice but heard sounds or someone forcibly kisses her her screaming like someone is raping her again and enjoying it. Ash comes in and is horrified by what he sees. "No Lara!" He sees Whitmen fucking Lara and shes not resisting him as he moves her head to kiss him and he comes inside her again. "You bastard!" Ash shouted as he jumps down and stabs Whitmen clean through and uses blaze on Whitman screams as he's been burning him alive.
"Lara are you ok please say anything Lara!" Ash said as he's holding her till a hand touch his shoulder saying "Ash I'm over here." as Ash looks saw Lara was fully dressed "Lara" as Ssh look saw he's holding no one as she smiles
"It wasn't real Ash you been tricked by the island." as Ash stands up and held her waist and kissed her "I thought i lost you forever." he said as Lara smiles at him
"You didn't Ash come let's go." as the two are heading towards the bridge and saw the chopper "Oh no… we've got to stop them from getting on that helicopter." Lara said as Ash agreed then they looked back, though, he saw Mathias and two other Solarii.
"Destroy the bridges!" Mathias said
"But we'll kill our own people!" answered one of the Solarii, causing Mathias to grab the other man's gun and shoot him in the head! "Any other non-believers?" he questioned
"Ready to Run Lara!" Ash replied as they ran as fast as they could to get to the other side of the bridge.
The bridge started falling apart as they ran, with some Solarii chasing after them.The section they were on got destroyed, but they managed to jump and grab onto the rest that wasn't destroyed. One Solarii had grabbed a hold of Lara, and he was on fire. Ash stabbed the guy in the head with his kunai knife, making him fall.
"We're taking fire. Everybody get to higher ground!" said Roth
"Wait… the storms! It's too dangerous! Roth!? Damn it! Roth, where are you!?" Lara said as The building they were in was on fire, and falling apart. "I'm here, girl! Come on, jump! You can do it! Lara, grab my hand! There you go." said Roth but with things constantly falling apart around them, they made it to the roof. Lara got out the radio again,
"Roth, we have to land! We have to land or the storms are going to crash us. We can't leave!" Lara replied then The helicopter appeared right in front of them, with Roth on board "Good timing Roth." said Lara as Ash notice bigger problem "let's move Lara we got a bigger problem" as Lara looks The roof collapsed, making Lara and Owen fall, but there was floor directly below them to break their fall. They quickly got up and ran towards the helicopter.
"Jump!" Roth yelled.
They both jumped, and the building exploded behind them. The helicopter tilted to the side so it could catch them.
Lara almost slipped, but thankfully, Roth managed to pull her aboard. Lara sobbed in his arms, relieved that he was all right. However, she soon pulled away, remembering why she came.
"We can't leave them behind." Roth said as Lara looks at pilot "We have to land!" she said to him "No way! Not in this weather!" said the pilot
"We can't leave them behind!" Lara tells him "I barely made it here in one piece!" he said
Ash then put his blade to his neck "Do it!" He threatened him "She'll pull apart!" he said to him "Now!" Lara shouted
"Fuck! You're crazy!" the pilot said to them then started to turn the chopper around. But he made the mistake of continuing to ascend, so a lightning bolt struck the tail rudder.
"Here it comes!" said Lara as Ash held her tight "Hang on, Lara!" said Roth the helicopter crashed and went into flames, scattering Roth, Lara, and Ash on the ground...and killing the pilot. Roth was momentarily trapped underneath the helicopter's tail, but he managed to push it off. However, he found Ash and Lara lying across from him.
"Lara! Lara… Oh no… Come on, Lara!" as Ash did a CPR but he never gives up as Lara is gasping, coughing "That's it, that's it. Come on! Come on, Lara." as he did the CPR again then Lara held him and kiss him deep then they heard Sombody coming.
"It's them!" Ash and Lara said as Roth shoots the mercenaries, but there's too many. Mathias throws an axe at Lara, but Roth covers her with his back.
"Noooo! Roth!" Lara said as Ash see Mathias and was close to strike him at the heart but he got him at the eye he screamed in pain and runs off to the woods "Roth… I can't do this without you." said Lara
"I'm sorry, Lara. You can do this. You're a Croft and Ash you take good care of her you arr her true love." those are Roth's last words as Lara is crying as Ash watch Roth dies. After couple of minutes Reyes and the others' comes.
"No… no!" said Reyes
"Are you okay, Lara?" Sam asked Lara as Ash helps her up
"Is she okay? Because it's all about Lara, isn't it? Have you forgotten that she's the reason we're here?" Reyes said as Ash has his blade out change it to a shotgun pointing at her but Reyes see the look of his eyes "it's no one's fault if you ask me Whitman was the one who took us here in the first place. I know you want to see your daughter but we must work together on this. Now you better shut that trap of yours or I'll make you wish you never see my bad side by shooting your brains out." as Reyes nodded when he lowers his gun down
"For once he's right That's not fair, Reyes." Sam said
"You're right. I shouldn't have said that. It's just… Roth… I don't know what we're going to do without him." Reyes said
"Let's just find someplace safe and make preparations. He died as a warrior… We'll send him on as one." said Jonah as they're walking off Lara held Ash's arm
"Ash thanks." she said with a smile as Ash keep her close
