091 SpiderXMachina

Lara noticed the barrier rising in the corner and requested Cookie to stop. "Thanks Cookie, you can disable yourself now." Cookie complied, but before vanishing she conjured a scissors and passed it through Lara's hair.

The sweaty and messy hair glowed and transformed into a neat braided pony tail. The dust and dirt on her only made her more fabulous.

"Go get him, gurl!" Cookie said before vanishing.

"10 minutes huh. That should be almost an hour and a half of recovery. More than enough to finish this quest." Lara said while holding the double desert eagle up to her chest while looking fabulous. If she could guess, she has recovered more than half of her Aura back.

"Screeeechhh" A giant spider 1.5 meters tall and 2.5 meters wide materialized in the center of the barrier. It has massive fangs which are dripping of venom. Its limbs are pointy at the tip.

Lara looked at the conjured enemy and smiled. "I'm sorry, I'm already late with my appointment. We will have to finish this dance quickly."

Lara jumped high and by the time he started falling, an eagle caught her on its back. "Let's go Aquila. Let's finish this in 1 minute. Keep me safe."

Lara started charging her double desert eagle as she let Aquila dodge and survive the spider attacks. The spider kept on spewing web after web, but the eagle is swift in the air and could easily dodge the them.

10 seconds later, Aquila changed its direction to face the spider.

*screeeech* The spider screeched in glee as its prey finally turned around to met itself. It also faced Aquila and ran straight at it.

When the distance between the two are just 10 meters, Lara shot her charged desert eagles and aimed at the two front limbs joins connecting it to the main body.

*bang* *bang* The front two limbs of the spitting spider was severed just like that and the spider was out of balance from the sudden loss of limbs that it tripped and lost momentum sliding over to the pillar in front of it.

*creeeech* The spider screeched in anger and looked for the culprit but the woman-eagle duo is already out of range.

The spider tried to climb a pillar to jump over the eagle but Aquila simply changed its direction and evade as the spider fell down from the jump.

*booom*

Another 10 seconds pass the moment the spider landed on the floor. Taking the chance of the spider's stupid decision, Lara took aim and fired from above.

*bang* *bang* another two limbs at the front were severed.

*screeech* The spider can't help but cry in indignation. Now that all four front limbs are gone, it is totally out of balance and had its face fall on the ground.

The spider tried to balance his stance using the four limbs from the back, but the time it was able to do so, another 10 seconds has passed.

*bang* *bang*

The spider who was just able to stand is again down with the loss of another two limbs. The spider with only two legs left is now fully disabled.

Lara then took the time to charge her desert eagle for thirty seconds before aiming at the monster eyes. "Sorry, nothing personal." *bang* *bang*

The nen bullets passed through the eyes and entered its brain killing the beast immediately. The monster vanished along with the barrier.

"I'm coming, Silver. Better not die or else I'll kill you myself." Lara flew Aquila in pyramid's direction.

<A.N. The spider lara faced is smaller since she is alone to take the trial.>

"This Kid needs to die!" -Marco

"No I don't, I'm just here to spectate." Remarked Silver sarcastically.

While they were talking, a web net was launched from the top of a pillar falling down to where Marco is.

Marco, in response, generated a flame aura all over his body that melted the webs coming down. He then used the fiery flash step to jump high and quick to kill the spider but Silver responded in kind.

Silver using the fiery mini explosion from his feet, boosted his already fast flying speed to a whole new level and flew straight at the back of Marco threatening to gouge the heart off from Marco with his sharp and extended bat claws.

Feeling the threat to his life, he abandoned the attack by extending his right arm to the right and created a explosion to change his direction.

*swoosh* Silver attack missed and he again flew away to create distance between the two. "Woaaah, you're like a real life Iron Man!" Silver said in admiration.

Marco landed on his knees and fist on the ground and asked. "Iron Man, who is that?"

"No one, just a slip of tongue." Answered Silver.

Silver then saw the spider threw a web thread to capture Marco, but Marco evaded this time and hid behind a pillar. He can't attack recklessly this time, he almost had his heart carved out earlier because of it.

Marco behind the wall looked for any signs of the spider and saw a part of its leg on a pillar. Marco rushed his way to the pillar with his fiery step.

Seeing this, Silver also dove in for another attack. Expecting Silver to intercept, Marco turned around mid-air to face Silver and focused a lot of fire aura on his feet.

*booooooom* Using the large explosion, Marco was able to change his flight mid-air in reverse and faced Silver with a flame strike ready.

Silver was caught off guard and could only create multiple layers of wall made of cast wrap to defend himself.

*booooom*

Silver was again launched far into the wall, but this time not damaged as before due to the wall in between him and the attack.

Silver was able to create the wall without practice since he saw with his sharingan active, the time when Grylls made the wall for the booby trap. He has yet to learn to create other objects and has no time to do so at the moment of battle.

Marco landed on floor after that attack and staggered a little, his feet bleeding. He used a strong blast to reverse his direction midflight and it damaged his feet while doing so. "That ability. So you also copied the Survivor ability from Grylls. Tsk, you should have died there."

*boom* The spider landed in the middle of the two combatants with its back on Silver, creating hissing and screeching noises while facing Marco.

Silver could feel that the spider has no malicious intent against him ever since he saved it from the second flame strike. He can see/feel the emotion of others after all with his ears. And from the looks of it, the Spider is also seeing Marco as the enemy.

Silver smiled at the sudden development and landed on the spider head. "What do you say, bud? Let's finish him together?"

*screeech* The spider screeched in agreement.
