Tomb Raider Resurrection

Chapter 1

The pain hurt me terribly but I stumbled back, knowing, hoping he was still there. Once I managed to open the door, the room was empty. There wasn't a human in sight… but a pool of blood that send shivers down my back. I walked slowly towards it, afraid to know the truth yet obviously knowing what happened. In the blood I saw my reflection.

'We did Kurtis,' I told him. 'No matter where you are, just hear me, we did it,' I whispered quietly and picked up the golden disk that belonged to him. Suddenly it sprang it's tentacles out and then put them back in. It vibrated violently; making me turn in the direction the Boaz had come from. It was pointing into the dark… could it be? Was it even possible? I hesitated but fought it back. If there were a chance he was still alive, I would take it…

Half a year later…

'Come on Lara!' Alistair cheered me on.

'You can do it!' Bryce exclaimed. They yelped as I made my way across the new course that they kindly organized and for the first time I was trying it out. It was so modern. I had passed the long jumps and finally got through that river with the strong current. There was a long platform ahead that shook and started to fall apart. Was this part of it. I sprinted across, grabbing a rope that was close by and swung myself forward to the giant pillars. I climbed up on one of them as quickly as I could. Once I made it to the top, I jumped on top of the rest; it was really difficult not falling. Suddenly I felt a rush f heat at my side and jumped quickly to another pillar, barely making it. I noticed the heads of statue dragons were breathing fire. It burned my side just for a second; luckily I made a quick reaction. I finally got the grassy land, which was the last part, as Alistair told me and said there was a surprise. I walked slowly forward to find my favorite 2 handguns. I picked them up slowly, wondering what was going to happen. I heard a loud sudden noise behind me. I turned around sharply, aiming my guns at what it was. It was a huge robot, a bit taller and larger then me. Alistair and Bryce had made it over by now. They walked calmly over to me. Alistair had a remote control with him.

'Well, what do you think?' he asked.

'I think you just gave me my birthday present!' I chuckled at the image of it.

'So, this guy here is going to give you tips on how to fight,' Alistair explained.

'Are you sure I'm not the one going to give it to him?' I joked.

'It's bullet proof and don't damage it. It's only a proto type,' he quickly told me.

'So what am I supposed to do with it if I can't destroy it?' I asked confused.

'Well, I installed a programme that when you shoot it the right amount of times, it turns off. PLaying dead,' he told me.

'Interesting,' I nodded my head slowly with appruval.

'Unfortunatly, as I said it is a proto type. I need to do some tests first before you can ejoy and play with it but I just added it into the course as a suprise!'

'Well Alistair, I love it, thanks for your time for making it. Get it done as soon as possible though,' I told him, really happy that he went through the trouble to give me such a fantastic toy.

'Lady Croft?' I heard the fimiliar voice of Welster who walked slowly toward me.

'What is, Welster?' I asked.

'Maria Ryblachenko is on the phone from Russia,' he told me.

'Coming over as soon as possible,' I said.
