Search For The Ring of Bevera

Short Description: The ring of Bevera was a legend, until Lara found the vault of Bevera, which holds the ring in a magical chest. Just when Lara finally gets into the vault, she finds out that an evil man known as Carter Cerel has stolen the ring. With this ring, the evil man sculpts his own temple of Treachery, and the only way Lara can end the destruction on the earth is to destroy Carter Cerel. In an adventure of bravery, truth and action, Lara races against time to stop the evil man from taking over the planet.

The air stirred, it had been a very long time since anyone had entered that tomb. Lara Croft walked into the tomb, she was quite tall for her age, and she had brunette hair that was tied back in a plat. She had her 9mm handguns in her holsters and she was wearing brown shorts over a turquoise bathing suit, she was wearing a brown belt and a brown bag. She walked quietly through the tomb, then, as she stepped into the light, her face glowed in the fluorescent light. Lara then turned to the left and walked through the long hallway. But, she heard a rumbling, she turned around and realised that the exit was blocked.
“Damn it!” Lara shouted in grief.
The walls were slowly moving inwards, but it would be not that long until her slim body would be crushed by the rocky walls. Lara looked ahead, it was quite a while away, but she could make out an exit from this mad hallway. But it wasn’t so easy, because the door was sliding down, nearly touching the ground. Lara then sprinted ahead, ever so quickly, she was near the door, would she make it? Lara the jumped in the air and slid underneath the door, just in time to escape from the two walls colliding into each other, letting dust fall to the floor. Lara was now in a huge tomb the ceiling was very high. Lara then saw something at the other end of the tomb; it was a door, a huge door. Lara then ran to the door. It was the original grey colour and it had a very obscure lock, it was a circle, but in the circle were bits sticking out and in. Where would Lara find the key for this? Lara took some chalk and paper from her bag, and drew an engraving of the obscure lock. When Lara had finished, she heard a voice. At first it was faint, then it got louder, and louder! The voice boomed and echoed throughout the tomb.
“YOU HAVE DISTURBED THE TOMB OF BEVERA! YOU MUST NOW BARGAIN WITH THE DEAD OF EGYPT!”
Lara had to cover her ears so her eardrum wouldn’t burst! The dead of Egypt? Wait! That must mean… Bandaged hands raised from the ground, covered in dust. It was mummies! The raised from the ground, waking from there humble slumber. Lara then drew her 9mm handgun pistols; she targeted each of the mummies, and shot away! Lara dodged their wild punches and hits. Just as a mummy approached her, she kicked it hard. Lara then kicked the last zombie, and said.
“Bull’s-eye!”
She put her guns back in her holsters and continued to find a way out, but then she heard a rumbling, the ground shook, and more mummies rose from the ground, groaning and mumbling. Lara drew her guns and started to shoot, whoa! Nothing was coming out, her ammo had run out. Lara then drew her most powerful gun, her MP5 Submachine gun she had 500 bullets in it, more than enough to finish the mummies off. Lara then started to blast away at the mummies, but these ones were quick, one darted at Lara, but Lara jumped in the air and gracefully did a somersault. And then started shooting again. Most of the mummies were down, but the last one was tough, it kept on dodging her shots, then whacking Lara on the face. Lara then had an idea, she started to shoot at the mummy as usual, but she turned the bullet speed to “rapid”. It certainly worked the mummy was struggling to stand up, it then groaned for the last time, and fell to the ground. Lara then put her gun back into her bag and continued to find a way out. Lara then noticed an alcove high on the wall, could she climb up? Lara then drew her grappling hook launcher and aimed it at the alcove, she launched the hook and it landed bang on target. Lara the grabbed the rope, she climbed up the rope halfway, and then swung on the rope over to the alcove.
“Bingo!” Lara said cheerfully. 
She then realised that the alcove was actually a long hallway. She walked through the hallway, and then turned left, right, right, left, forward, left; right and finally she was outside the pyramid.
“I’ll soon find a way into that vault, and I will destroy that damn ring!” Lara mumbled to herself. 
Lara then climbed into her motorbike and set off back to Cairo. Lara soon arrived outside her hotel; it was the most expensive hotel in Cairo! Lara grabbed her keys from the reception and entered her room. She ordered a bottle of Chardonnay from the bar; she slipped into a red dress and looked at the engraving. 
“It’s so strange what kind of key would fit this lock? I need to find the key! It leads to the vault of Bevera, which holds the sacred ring!”
Lara was bewildered. She had absolutely no idea where the key was! A knock on the door cut Lara out of her strange thoughts. It was the bar man. When he saw Lara he gasped, then he smiled.
“ Hi! I’m Larry Finchaski! I was wondering if you might want to, you know, share the bottle with me?” he asked.
“And I was wondering if you could just give me the bottle and do your job without hooking up with the girls?” Lara asked rudely.
She grabbed the bottle and said.
“I think I’ll give you half the price for the bottle, you don’t want me to complain to the manager, now do we?” Lara asked.
She slammed the door.
“Dirty rascal!” She opened the bottle and poured herself a glass. She could hear some faint romantic music coming from her CD player; she lay out on her bed and relaxed after a hard days tomb raiding. Lara sipped the crisp-cold Chardonnay, whilst trying to find out who could tell her where to find the ring. Then, as if someone had turned the lights on in Lara’s brain, she had figured out what to do! She sipped the last of the wine down and left the hotel, her plat waving in the air behind her. Lara ran down the empty street, she then barged into a small shop called “Kylo’s.” Lara then stared down at a man in a small seat.
“Kylo! Von Croy told me you could help me!” Lara said.
“Oh! Lara? LARA! It’s so good to see you! What can I do?” Kylo asked.
“You can tell me where to find the key of Bevera!” Lara said.
“What? That is dangerous business!” He said.
“I’m a dangerous girl! Now, please tell me!” She said.
“Oh! All right! The vault of Bevera was a legendary wonder, a place that held a fantastic gem, the Ring of Bevera! As soon as someone found out about it, they built a temple full of traps and placed the key to the vault inside. The built the traps around the place that they held the key. To tell you the truth, the key is more guarded than the ring itself!” Kylo said.
“Ok. But where is the Temple?” Lara asked.
“Miles away! I couldn’t tell you exactly, just go west! Way west! You will get there!” Kylo said.
“How will I get there? I can’t walk!” Lara said.
“Look outside!” he said.
Lara looked, there, outside, was a huge jeep; it was very well created for sand!
“Oh Kylo thanks so much!” Lara exclaimed.
“Your welcome!” He said.  
Lara ran out the shop and climbed into the jeep. She checked the dashboard, on it was a small notebook, it showed maps of the temple, and the vault. Lara drove the car out of Cairo, out of Giza, and along side the Nile. As Lara drove on the sand beside the Nile, she saw a Nile Crocodile crawling out of the water, as its scaled body slumbered over the sand, Lara could see patches of flesh and blood in its mouth. It crawled behind the jeep; Lara put her foot down on the accelerator and sped away. Lara drove on front of the croc. It was moving very fast. Lara then twisted around on the sand, making the croc twist and fall down. Lara then muttered.
“Hhmm. That’s that taken of!”
She drove the car beside the Nile until she arrived outside a huge temple she could hear eerie howling inside. It was still night, and Lara knew it was silly to be afraid of howling, but the howling seemed strangely close. Lara then looked through the notebook, she was trying to find some information on the where abouts of the key. Lara then found a page, with just a few lines, it was written in a curly handwriting. Lara read the mysterious entry.

The mysterious key is hidden in the heart of the temple; wrathful guards keep it well guarded. 
Anyone who has attempted to find the ring has died or got lost in the mysterious labyrinth. 

Lara didn’t know anything about the temple, just that it guarded the key. Lara pushed open the huge bronze door, and entered the temple.

Back in Cairo, a handsome man called Carter Cerel, from Britain, was in his hotel, researching the power and mightiness of the ring. The ring was made from gold, it had the jewel of the sacred stone Diamond, and it was very expensive. The ring would grant the wearer of the ring power, power beyond belief. They could make planets; they could kill, destroy and destruct. They could do anything they had wished for. The ring seemed legendary, but Carter knew it existed, he, Carter Cerel, had sent his very own private army, to find the Key to the vault that held the ring in the Temple of Bevera. He had heard that a woman called Lara Croft was also after the ring, but she wished to destroy the glorious jewel, but he wished to wear it and show the world who was leader! Soon, he would make all earthlings bow to his greatness.  

Lara walked through another dark hallway, the temple was huge, it was like a maze, and it was as if Lara had entered another era. Lara then heard footsteps, she found a small alcove, and she hid in it. A spec-op guy walked by, he had a weird symbol embodied on his outfit, and he carried a huge rifle, a sniper rifle. Lara drew her best gun, the M16 assault rifle she targeted the spec-op guy with her laser sight, and shot him on the back. He fell over, screaming as his dead body fell to the ground. Lara walked over to the corpse, still having her rifle out. She kicked the body over there was no identification. Lara continued through the hallway. Lara entered a huge chamber, there were stone pillars and at the end was a table, with the key on it! Lara walked up to the table but she heard more footsteps. She turned around; an army of spec-ops had entered the tomb, with their guns aimed at Lara. Lara jumped to the side, she did a handspring behind the pillars. She ducked down to dodge some bullets, she ran up to a spec-op and whacked him on the face, and she grabbed her gun and shot him wildly in the heart. Lara then cart wheeled to the left dodging more bullets, she drew her Uzis and ran behind the pillars, dodging bullets and launching her own. Lara rolled on the ground, she shot the last spec-op, and he fell to the ground moaning. Lara walked to the table, but the key was gone! Lara turned around; she saw a spec-op with the key in his hand! Lara chased him through the temple, but he kept the lead for he was so fast! Lara tried to shoot at him, but her ammo was running low and he dodged them well. Soon, the guy had ran out the huge door, and he climbed into a huge car, he started to drive off, shooting Lara with his machine gun. Lara dodged his bullets; she climbed into her jeep and drove behind his car. Lara shot him on the arm, but he sustained. She soon lost him, he had drove back to his house, and soon he would open the vault and gain power.

Lara arrived back in Cairo; she walked into Kylos and slammed her guns on his desk.
“You never told me that the place would be flooded with spec-ops!” She said angrily. 
“I never knew!” He said.
“Oh, well you could have warned me!” She said.
“I didn’t even get the key!” She said.
“What?”
Yes, thanks to you all the world will now have to worship this spec-op, he can now open the vault!” Lara said.
“Look Lara! I can tell you one thing- it’s not that spec-op who will gain the power!” He said.
“It is Carter Cerel!” He said.
“Who’s he?” Lara asked.
“A very evil man! He will do anything to wear that ring! I told you the ring is dangerous!” he said.
“Where is this Carter Cerel?” Lara asked.
“He is at Cairo Hotel!” he said.
“That’s where I’m staying!” Lara said.
“Well, try to find him, spy on him, maybe talk to him.” He said.
“OK.” Lara said.
Lara walked out of the shop, and climbed into her car. She drove back to her hotel and got ready for dinner; she slipped on a black dress and covered herself in Giorgio Armani make-up. She walked down to the hotel restaurant beside the pool. She sat down on a table and eavesdropped on every conversation. Finally she heard a man say “Carter Cerel”. Lara listened.
“I’ve got the key!” One man said.
“Great! I will open the vault tomorrow.” Carter Cerel said.
“OK, what will you do?” One guy asked.
“First, I will find that rival of mine, Kylo, and then, I will kill him with my power!” Carter said.
Lara was furious, she got up from her table, and she ran to Carter, screaming.
“AAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!” Lara screamed.
She grabbed Carter and squeezed him; they slid on the floor and went flying into the pool. Lara raised to the surface, she kicked Carter underwater, and then climbed out. Lara was angry.
“You evil man!” Lara kicked him. 
Carter grabbed Lara and took her out of the hotel.
“Let go of me! Stop it!” Lara screamed, but it was no use.
Carter let go of Lara and hit her onto a wall. He was holding a sharp blade in his hand, and he held it up to Lara’s face.
“You should keep quiet!” He said.
Lara then heard something, and Carter fell to the floor.
“Huh?” Lara said.
A Chinese girl stood behind his body, she was wearing a black cat suit, and she had her hair up in a ponytail.
“Who are you?” Lara asked.
“I am Chang. I think we are both after the same thing.” She said.
“Yes. The ring of Bevera.” Lara said.
“Yes. But Carter Cerel has beaten us to it, his mate has got the key for him.” She said.
“Yeah, wait! Watch out!” Lara shouted.
A man grabbed Chang from behind; she grabbed his arm and twisted it. She kicked him to the ground and stood on him.
“Wow! Your very strong!” Lara said.
“What? Me?” Chang asked.  
“Yes! Come on, I’ll give you some lessons tomorrow!” Lara said enthusiastically. 

The room was bright, Chang crept around the training room, as the “impostor” entered.
“Hiya!” Lara screamed and flipped over to Chang, a simple forward flip that cleared the ground.
Chang punched Lara but Lara kicked her. Lara jumped over Chang and then kicked her across the room. Chang then got up, it was a kick but she sustained. Chang put her arms in the air and hand-sprung across the room. Lara did a backward somersault over Chang, and kicked her. Chang grabbed Lara’s leg and pushed her down, but Lara flipped back up again and got ready for her next attack. Chang flipped over to Lara and kicked her. Lara kicked Chang, but Chang dodged it. Then things got insane! Lara ran up the wall and gripped onto the ceiling. Chang couldn’t see her, but Lara dropped down onto her. Lara then backed away and ran up the ceiling, Chang jumped in the air, flipping over, and then she gripped the ceiling. Lara then ran across the wall, Chang running behind her. Lara then sprinted onto the floor and across the room. 
“Finished!” Lara said.
Chang dropped off the ceiling. “You were very good!” She said.
“So were you!” Lara said. 
Suddenly, breaking the chatter, the earth shook.
“Earthquake!” Chang screamed.
Lara knelt down on the ground her hands over her head. The ceiling fell in, and the walls caved in. Then it all stopped.
“What was that?” Chang asked.
Lara didn’t answer, she walked out into the street and gazed over the desert miles away, Lara then saw something, she couldn’t make out what it was but it was huge! It was a temple, bearing the words “The Bevera Hideout.” Lara climbed into the jeep.
“Into the car!” Lara said.
Chang climbed in.
“Where are we going?” Chang asked.
“Over there!” Lara said.
Chang gazed across and saw the temple, as they started to drive off.

The car finally pulled up outside the temple.
“This is what Carter built with his powers, he is inside! The only way to stop him is to destroy the ring!” Lara said.
“Should we split up?” Chang asked as they entered the temple.
“Yeah! You go that way and I’ll go this way!” Lara said.
And Chang went through the right tunnel, and Lara took the left.

Chang crept through the tunnel, she then heard something, and she turned around.
“Well, fancy meeting you here!” The woman said.
The woman was wearing a leather cat suit.
“Who are you?” Chang asked.
“I am Carter Cerel’s wife! And I was given strict orders to kill anyone who enters the temple!” The woman said.
The woman brought a dagger from her pocket and dug it into Chang’s stomach.
“And I always obey orders!” The woman said.
Chang screamed. The woman cut Chang and maimed her to a bloody death, Chang’s blood dripped to the floor, and then her corpse slumped to the floor. 
“Idiot!” The woman said, she grabbed Chang’s arm and dragged the corpse over the floor.

Lara had been walking through the tunnel for ages, and finally she got into a huge chamber. Lara entered, and at once saw Carter Cerel on a tall podium, surrounded by blue energy.
“Ha! I now possess great power, beyond yours! You must now bow to my superior power!” He said.
“Forget it Carter! Only a fool would worship you!” Lara said.
“And only a fool would let their friend go into a temple by themselves!” Carter said.
“What?” Lara asked.
The woman, Miss Cerel walked into the temple dragging the maimed corpse of Chang behind her.
“Chang!” Lara shouted.
“She is dead! You fool!” Miss Cerel said.
Lara was wrathful, she drew her best gun, the MP5 Submachine gun, could kill at long distance range, Lara shot wildly at Carter, but Carter put out his hand, and a wall destroyed the bullets. Lara then saw the ring on his finger, she would have to get it off. Lara armed her rocket launcher, and shot a huge rocket at Carter, he fell to the ground, for a “sleep”. Lara creeped up on the body, she grabbed the ring off of him. 
“AARRGGHH!” Carter screamed.
Lara threw the ring into the air, and shot it, it smashed in half. Lara then shot at Carter, right in the head.
“Try and destroy this!” Lara said.
Just before Carter died, he raised his hands, and ushered the ceiling. After he did so, the ceiling fell in, Lara screamed; she then saw a huge stained glass window, Lara jumped through it, leaving the temple to collapse behind her. Lara then knew, that she had just completed yet another adventure…
