Chapter 10: Release
(Lara is still knocked out while Nathan and Trevor gather the ingredients. Lara was in a flashback in the gym. It takes place before she got stranded on Yamatai.)
Woman: "Come on, Lara! You got this!" (Lara got punched in the face by a boxing glove and got on one knee.)
Woman: "Lara, don't hold back. You have to hit harder." (Lara got up and Reyes nodded with hope in her eyes that Lara can make it.)
Lara: "I didn't volunteer to hurt people, Diana."
Diana: "I know, but you have to learn how to fight for yourself in case something bad happens. Now, again, but this time, don't give in and make your life become in danger!" (Lara gave a one two punch to her face and Diana tried to kick her, but Lara caught her leg and punched her in the face. Diana had a nose bleed while she tried to stand up straight.)
Diana: "Excellent, Lara. I knew you had that fire in you, just like your father." (Lara raised her eyebrows in surprise.)
Lara: "You knew my dad?"
Diana: "Eh, I don't know him, but I see him pass by the gym every time and I can tell that he loves you very dearly."
Lara: "Yeah. Sorry about the nose."
Reyes: "Man, she clocked you hard."
Diana: "Yep, that was a mean swing indeed. Use that to your advantage, Lara because you got what it takes to take bad guys out." (Lara smiled and took her gloves off.)
Lara: "Thank you." (Diana shook hands with Lara.)
Diana: "We'll continue sparring another time." (Back to Trevor and Nathan getting the last ingredient.)
Nathan: "Okay. We have honey and we used our teardrops."
Trevor: "You cried so hard about Lara."
Nathan: "I did. I cried like a 5 year old child."
Trevor: (Chuckles) "All we need is a beautiful sunset." (Nathan saw the sun in the distance.)
Nathan: "Speak of the devil."
Trevor: "Quick! Hold it up towards the rays of the sun!" (Nathan held it high as far as he can reach.)
Nathan: "I hope it was enough." (The vial started to slowly glow into a golden light and the liquid turned golden yellow like it mixed really well.)
Trevor: "We did it. We just made the teardrops of the spiritual sun!"
Nathan: "That's right and we need to see Doctor Spirit, fast." (Trevor nodded and they ran to find Doctor Spirit in the jungle. Meanwhile, back to Isabelle and the kids.)
Isabelle: "Okay, we need to find weapons. Does anyone know where?" (No children raised their hands up, except a little boy who raised his hand.)
Isabelle: "Okay, you have an idea where they are located?"
Little Boy: "Yes. They are in the guardsmen locker rooms and nobody is allowed to go there."
Isabelle: "Good. We're not going to risk getting them at this time. We wait until it is dark."
Boy #5: "This won't end well. Once we get caught, we'll be dead. So, you might want rethink your plan."
Girl #7: "Shut up, you ungrateful knucklehead."
Manuel: "Guys, stop! I say we sneak into the locker rooms and get their weapons."
Girl #4: "Um, spoiler. We don't know how to get out of a cell."
Isabelle: "Oh, trust me. We do."
Everyone: "What?!"
Isabelle: "Inside of your pillows are straw. So, we create our own lockpicks to get out."
Boy #6: "But one thing, straw isn't capable of fitting through a lock."
Girl #9: "Si. Like it isn't tough enough. It will break, duh!"
Sera: "So, we'll make it tougher to pick the lock."
Isabelle: "That's the spirit. So, do you all want to get out and be free or do you want to stay here forever? It's your choice."
Manuel: "I'm with Isabelle. I don't plan to die here."
Sera: "Me either." (The kids nodded and one last person sighed.)
Girl #9: "Okay, show us how you make a lockpick."
Isabelle: "Listen carefully and watch closely." (She was teaching everyone how to make makeshift lockpicks out of straw. Back to Nathan and Trevor, they made it to Doctor Spirit and there were hooded figures in black surrounding him.)
Trevor: "Okay...this is scary."
Nathan: "Yeah, I'm with you there, Trev." (The hooded figures stared down at Nathan and Trevor like their eyes were piercing their souls. Nathan gulped and then toughened up as he spoke.)
Nathan: "We're here to speak to Doctor Spirit."
Trevor: "Please, it's urgent." (The hooded figures looked around Nathan and Trevor to see if anyone else was around. One hooded figure spoke up.)
Hooded Figure #1: "Is there anyone else here with you?" (Nathan and Trevor shook their heads.)
Trevor: "No. It's just us."
Nathan: "Please. We don't have a lot of time. Help us." (The doctor's voice was heard in the back.)
Doctor Spirit: "My children. Leave them alone. Let them come inside." (The hooded figures moved out of the way and Doctor Spirit approached Nathan and Trevor.)
Trevor: "Doctor Spirit."
Doctor Spirit: "Yes, it is I. Why did you come here and how did you know this was the place to look?" (Nathan took out Rico's cross necklace and showed it to the doctor.)
Nathan: "Our friend Rico gave us a gateway to speak to you and yet here we are." (The doctor nodded and spoke.)
Doctor Spirit: "I know who Rico is. I once cleansed him of his tragic life and granted him vengeance. What do you need?"
Trevor: "My mother is not feeling well." (The doctor felt her forehead and she groaned.)
Doctor Spirit: "What happened?"
Nathan: "She was turning into something evil and I had to knock her out. We need her back because her mind is all messed up with drugs."
Doctor Spirit: "The sick in the head treatment. I know what must be done. We need to go to the meditation ritual room and we need the teardrops of the..."
Nathan: "Spiritual sun? Say no more, doc. We got it." (He held it in front of the doctor and he took it.)
Doctor Spirit: "Splendid. The teardrops of the sun god Ra. This is perfect. Let's hurry before it loses its light." (He started to jog and Nathan and Trevor ran behind him. They all entered the room and it was a stone bed surrounded by unlit candles.)
Doctor Spirit: "Quickly. Put her on the stone bed while I light the candles." (Nathan gently puts her down and moved a strand of hair out of her face and behind her ear.)
Doctor Spirit: "Stand back." (Nathan and Trevor stood back and the hooded figures came in a circle while the doctor lit all of the candles.)
Doctor Spirit: "Alright. Sound the drums and hit the chimes." (The drums started to play and the chimes began to ting. The hooded figures started to put their hands across their chests like an 'x' and the doctor looked at the figures.)
Doctor Spirit: "Let us begin. Oh mighty sun god of Egypt! I call upon you to help this woman regain her true memories! Bring in the sands of time and guide her towards the burning sun!" (The doctor took off the cork of the vial of the spiritual sun mix and puts in a little bit of sand into it. Then he walked over to Lara and was about to pour one drop on her head.)
Doctor Spirit: "May the sun god speak your name as his powers work over you and guide you back to your past." (A drop of the spiritual sun hits her forehead in slow motion as the sun god spoke her name in a whisper.)
Ra: "La....ra." (In her head, there were different scenes from her past was going on.)
**Jonah: "My Little Bird, you're alive!"
**Vaas: "I want you to marry me!"
**Lara: "Never!"
**Roth: "Lara! Jump! You can make it!"
**Reyes: "Is she okay? Because it's all about Lara, isn't it?! Have you forgotten that she's the reason we're here?"
**Richard: "Daddy loves you, little Lara. Don't ever forget that."
**Roth: "You've got great instincts, girl. You've just got to trust them." (Lara was suddenly falling through her memories like shards of glass and Lara in reality is having a seizure.)
Trevor: "Oh, no! What's happening?!"
Doctor Spirit: "She's having a seizure! We must stop her from shaking or else she'll remain not being cured." (Nathan ran to her and held her down tightly.)
Nathan: "I got her. Just keep doing the ritual." (The doctor nodded and kept going. Nathan held her hand tightly and looked at her.)
Nathan: "Come on, Lara. You can fight this. I know you can, just hang in there." (In Lara's mind, she kept falling through memories and then she saw sand coming straight to her as she was falling. Suddenly, she yelled and she landed on the sand with a thud. She noticed that she was in the desert and a hand approached to her. She looked and saw that it was indeed the sun god.)
Lara: "R...Ra?" (He nodded in silence and she grabbed his hand. He lifted her up and she straightened herself up. Ra walked towards her and held her hands. She was curious of what was going on.)
Lara: "What are you..." (She noticed that his hands were glowing and it transferred to Lara.)
Ra: "You now have the sun's embrace within you. For that, you must release yourself to break through the darkness in your mind."
Lara: "But how do I do that?"
Ra: "Face towards the sun, close your eyes and feel what you love the most. When you do, speak the words for all to hear." (Lara walked towards to where the sun was facing and closed her eyes.)
Ra: "Are your eyes closed?"
Lara: "Yes."
Ra: "Very good. Now, what do you feel inside your mind? Who do you love the most?"
Lara: "I feel like I'm powerful and I belong to myself. I love my family so much." (There was a tear that fell below through her eyelids and towards her cheek.)
Ra: "Just as I expected. Now, breathe and release it!" (Lara concentrated and took three breaths. Suddenly, all the bad memories with Vaas disappeared out of sight completely and Lara in reality woke up in alarm. Nathan held her back and looked in her eyes.)
Nathan: "Lara. Is that really you?"
Lara: "Nathan? Trevor? What are we doing here?" (Trevor smiled and was relieved.)
Trevor: "Oh, thank god."
Nathan: "Tell me, Lara. How do you feel?"
Lara: "I feel like me again. I'm cleansed throughout. No more nightmares about Vaas. No more stress, just myself being myself." (Nathan smiled and hugged her.)
Nathan: "I'm just glad you're alright, now."
Lara: "Really? Because you don't seem that glad."
Nathan: "I was just scared that you wouldn't make it pass those drugs. I almost cried, literally."
Lara: "To be honest, I thought that my soul was going to leave me completely, but I saw that you had faith."
Nathan: "That's right. It's like I said before Lara that I will never leave your side until the very end."
Lara: "And you kept that. Just like I knew you would." (Nathan had his hand on Lara's charm bracelet that her mother gave her in the past when Nathan was back in time. Read: Uncharted Tomb/Farcry 3 Crossover Part 2. Lara smiled and Nathan smiled back. Lara and Nathan had a tender moment of kissing each other and Trevor looked outside of the cave and noticed that it was dark. Trevor moved his hand around to gesture them to pick up the pace, but they weren't even paying attention. Trevor then cleared his throat.)
Trevor: (Clears throat) "Ahem, guys? I know that this is sudden, but aren't we supposed to head back to the others?"
Nathan: "Oh, yeah. That's right."
Lara: "Why? What's going on?"
Nathan: "Sully and the others are going after the General. We'll fill you in later." (They all thanked the doctor and they left the hideout while they were sprinting their way back to the rest of the team.)
