075 FireXNaga

Lara didn't wait for any more time when the male Nagas showed in front of them. She unholstered her two desert eagles and shot two of the Nagas.

*bang* *bang*...

Blood spattered from the two Nagas and they fell down no longer moving. The other three spread out and started using Ten/Ken.

*Bang* *Bang*...

Lara unleashed another volley of shots. However, unlike last time, her bullets did not all hit the Nagas she is targeting and even if they do, it did not penetrate all the way through but were stopped an inch or two into the body. "Urghhh.. I hate monsters." She complained as she evaded a spear from the front.

~~~~~

On the other side, Marco is facing two Nagas by himself. He evaded an arrow aimed to his chest and faced the other.

"Why don't we find out if you smell nicer when cooked." He skillfully position himself on the back of the Naga and held its head with his two hands. Then the head burned bright orange.

*graaaaaaaahhhhhhh*

The Naga screamed and struggled for a while but eventually stopped after 30 seconds. Its head is charcoal black from the burn.

*grahhhhhh* The other Naga growled at the demise of his brethren.

*bang*

A hole appeared on its forehead, which stopped its screaming and movement entirely.

*phew* Lara blew the smoke out from the barrel. "Nothing a 30 seconds charged bullet can't pass through."

"That was pretty fast of you. I was right to tag along with you." Marco complimented as he looked at the other bullet ridden Naga on Lara's feet.

*graaaaaaahhh*

*graaaaah*

*graaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh*

As if disturbing a giant nest, the water on the river started shaking. Naga after naga came out of the river. Eventually, 12 male Nagas are now facing them as more heads pop out of the water and watched them. And growling at them, as if showing dominance.

*wiiiiiiiiiiiit* on top of all the growls a whistle came from their back.

'A female Naga has been spotted.' Lara started charging bullets in her desert eagle. All-ammo other ability, not only is she able to create an ammo to any guns but she can charge the bullet to increase it's punching and penetrating power. The longer she charge the stronger it gets.

Marco started to transmute fire from his nose as if breathing out flames as he jump back to the forest and left Lara in the shore. He then took out a gas mask from his back and wore it.

The gas mask came from Jack's arrival. They reckoned that they shouldn't solely rely on Grylls' ability to counter the Female Nagas' pheromone ability. Every one of the male are now wearing one, except Slade. Slade said that his mask is already equipped with one.

"Come on boys, let's start the party." Lara provoked the now 13 Nagas in having a stand off with her.

As if on cue, four gasoline tanks were thrown tat Lara's feet by the gentlemen. Noticing that there are others in the forest, the Nagas started moving. However, they were a step to late as Lara already rode her eagle and flew to the sky.

"Bye bye!"

*bang*

*Boooooooooom*

Lara shot the gasoline tanks that caused a massive explosion. Unrecognizable shrieks can be heard from those who unfortunately lived and are now burning.

10 immediately died and 3 are burning and are now currently rolling on the ground to try and relieve themselves from the fire.

In the threat of being burned alive, these Nagas forgot to jump back to the river to quell off the fire.

Lara from the sky took aim on one of the heads poking from the river and pressed the trigger.

*bang* Another Naga died.

It hadn't even been 10 minutes and the Nagas are already half of their original numbers.

44 - reported sources

5 - died on the first round

13 - died on the trap

1 - died from Lara on the sky

------------

25 - remaining

After the shot from Lara, all heads dove down to the river. 5 minutes later, the burning stopped and showed 13 burned corpses.

When the fire stopped burning completely, 20 Nagas charged into the forest without care if they get shot or not. 5 took their arrows and started shooting at Lara on the air. One of them is the female Naga shrieking in anger.

"Snakes all around us!" Shouted Silver as he 'saw' several snakes from different direction started closing in on them.

"Scatter! Go as planned and leave the female Naga to Lara." -Marco

"If you are bitten, come to me! You know where to find me." -Grylls

*swoooosh*

An arrow was released from Silver's bow and hit a Naga straight to the brain. He then listened to the command and 'escaped' to his designated area.

During the past few days, Lara has been training Silver on how to apply Shu to the arrow to increase its penetrating power. The more aura you put into it the sharper and stronger it gets.
