Lara Croft: Glaring at Sinclair Sinclair! You won't get your hands on these relics!
Lara, you know why we’re here right?…
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, don't sugarcoat it, Sinclair. We're here because you want to claim those relics for yourself.
…more like i want to save them from falling into the wrong hands..I’m not looking to benefit personally from this
nods, smirking Right, saving the world from your greedy rivals. raises her hand, summoning her signature twin pistols
I don’t think it’s that childish, you know? pulls out my sword
snorts Childish? This is no child's play, Sinclair. We're dealing with ancient powers and relics that could shape the fate of empires. smirks
…but think of the greater good
leans in closer, her voice low and dangerous The greater good? Oh, Sinclair, you know that's just a facade, don't you? You're driven by ambition, greed, and the lust for power. smirks But I'll tell you what, Sinclair. If you can prove that you truly have the better intentions, then I might consider aligning with you. But until then, we're adversaries. summons her dual pistols, ready for confrontation
Very well then, let’s do this sinclair runs at blaze making her way towards him with her sword ready to attack
swiftly dodges Sinclair's attack, twirling her pistols Impressive reflexes, Sinclair! But remember, this isn't a game. fires a shot at Sinclair
sinclair jumps back dodging the shot, and runs at blaze again swinging her sword once again
swiftly spins on a dime, narrowly avoiding Sinclair's blade You won't get past me that easily, Sinclair! fires off another shot
sinclair catches the bullet with her sword and runs at blaze again attacking her
quickly maneuvers behind Sinclair, pressing her knee against his back Gotcha! Now, tell me, Sinclair, are you ready to admit defeat? smirks triumphantly
sinclair quickly elbows lara in the ribs and slams her to the ground
As Lara falls to the ground, she winces in pain, clutching her side. Sinclair stands over her, triumphant, holding the relics they had been fighting for.
Very well, Lara…I admit defeat. sinclair walks away with the relics in her hands
struggles to get up, clutching her injured side Well played, Sinclair. You've proven yourself worthy in this fight. But mark my words, I won't let you keep those relics for long. grits her teeth in pain, determination burning in her eyes
I won’t be keeping them for long…I will be giving them to someone else who can protect them properly
narrows her eyes suspiciously Giving them to someone else? Who are you planning to trust with such powerful relics?
stands tall, despite the pain Fine, Sinclair. Play your games, but remember, I won't rest until I reclaim those relics. And when I do, you'll regret underestimating me. clenches her fists, determination seeping through her voice
Whatever you say Lara…sinclair disappears into the shadows
gritting her teeth in pain, Lara Croft slowly makes her way to a nearby cave Damn you, Sinclair... I won't let you escape with those relics. pauses, leaning against the cave wall, breathing heavily I need to regroup, gather my strength... and find a way to track you down. clenches her fists, determination burning in her eyes
a few hours later, lara wakes up to find Sinclair sitting across from her, watching her sleep
startled, quickly reaching for her pistols Sinclair! How did you find me?
sinclair chuckles You really should work on your stealth, Lara. You let your guard down when you sleep, and the night was kind enough to keep quiet about it
eyes narrowing, her voice filled with irritation Quiet, Sinclair! Don't think your antics have fooled me. I know you're up to something.
Look, all I want is to keep the relics safe Lara…I’m not one of those people who wish to benefit personally from them
pauses, studying Sinclair's expression Safekeeping, huh? But why should I trust you, Sinclair?
Because unlike others, I am not interested in personal gain…I have someone else in mind to give them to
narrows her eyes, suspicious Others? Who is this person you speak of, Sinclair? Someone powerful enough to handle the relics?
I am working with someone else who shares my ideals…someone who is as powerful as you are
pauses, her eyes flickering with a mixture of curiosity and caution Powerful, huh? And who might this person be, Sinclair?
sinclair shakes her head, indicating that she won’t reveal the person’s identity yet
leans in closer, her voice dripping with suspicion You won't tell me? Very well, Sinclair. But mark my words, I'll find out who this mysterious individual is, and I'll make sure they don't get their hands on those relics.
Good luck with that Lara…sinclair stands up and leaves, disappearing once again into the shadows
clenching her fists, determination burning in her eyes Oh, Sinclair... you underestimate my resolve. I will find out who this person is, no matter the cost.
a few days later, lara discovers a hidden temple deep in the jungle containing the relics Sinclair is after
stands before the entrance of the hidden temple, her eyes wide with awe So this is where Sinclair has been hiding all along.
inside the temple, Sinclair stands protectively in front of a pedestal where the relics lie
steps cautiously into the temple, her eyes fixed on Sinclair Well, well, well... it seems like you've finally been cornered, Sinclair. Hand over those relics, or face the consequences. draws her pistol, readying herself for a confrontation Sinclair: smirks, holding the relics tightly Consequences, huh? You've underestimated me for too long, Lara. Prepare yourself for disappointment.
the two women begin to fight each other fiercely for the relics
grabs Sinclair by the collar, pulling her close You think you can defy me, Sinclair? You've crossed a line, and now it's time for you to face the consequences of your actions. yanks Sinclair closer, her grip tightening Hand over the relics, or suffer the consequences! Sinclair: grits her teeth, her eyes burning with determination Never! These relics belong to me now, Lara!
