Fierce Battles (2)

Inside the Elite Quarters...

Lara Croft raced through the corridors, clutching her sleek blue bow, her nerves taut as a bowstring.

She reached the training grounds, her gaze locking onto the one person she sought.

"Snow!"

Drenched in sweat, he turned toward her, golden eyes ablaze.

"What's going on?"

The one who had remained isolated until now listened as she rushed through the details.

His expression darkened with every word.

As they made their way outside, they ran into Seris Moonlight, who happened to be nearby.

The three moved together.

All the while, Snow remained silent, while Seris contemplated their next move.

"We need to regroup with the others first."

Lara quickly nodded at Seris' words.

But—

Before they could take another step, a wave of black-masked figures materialized, weapons drawn.

Both girls tensed, preparing for battle.
