The young woman fighting the battle right now heard the roar of what sounded like a vehicle opening up behind her and, from the sound, crashing through everything and everyone that had gotten in their way, and that's when Lara realized those things had crept up behind her when she wasn't paying any attention whatsoever to some of the population. Damn it Lara, the treasure hunter knew better than that, they could teleport so why didn't it cross her mind to check up on what was behind her on account of the fact that her opponents were very much capable of creeping up behind her and taking her by surprise? She should have done that, and Lara made a note not to let something so utterly important to her survival in this place slip her mind so easily again, not only was something like that foolish it was more dangerous than you thought it was. As the sound of someone recklessly plowing through obstacles and zombie behind her continued, it occurred to Lara that if this person was hostile that she would have to make quick work of eliminating them and that if she didn't it put her life at risk. Of course by what she heard that was far from the truth and Lara could rest easy knowing that she'd have some sort of assistance on this journey and that despite everything that had happened it was fairly certain that everything would be fine, that is unless they turned out to be a thief or something.
Lara lifted her head up to look over her right shoulder as a barrage of red energy decimated the zombie-like foe that she was being encountered with right now, Lara ignored the bolt that flew over her head and returned to facing at the oncoming horde of vicious, inhuman creatures. The Croft wasn't sure exactly what they were now, but by the clothing that they wore she could tell they were the original inhabitants of Roanoke albeit very much changed by some force she wasn't aware of at the moment, perhaps it was a disease or perhaps they engaged in the kind of witchcraft that she and others like her had been warned about since they were all young children. She didn't know how that was possible though, these zombies, or whatever they were, should have died of starvation and from what she understood zombies weren't sentient nor could they procreate normally but what she was experiencing now was evidence of something entirely different going on here. Lara had just spotted what appeared to be one of these damned abominations' female population, and they were pregnant and holding a baby and feeding them behind the protection of a window and brick house that seemed to remain untouched by the weapons fire. Was it possible that the entire population of Roanoke, despite being turned into the creatures that they were fighting now, had continued their civilization after being transported to this dimension even though that would be very much impossible according to almost everything she knew about them and supernaturals?
The iconic treasure hunting Croft quickly reached into her lightweight high-tech quiver and grasped ahold of one of her arrows, effortlessly notching it into place and aiming through the targeting reticule that her advanced compound bow sported to make things easier on those firing it. A cool feature that she had added to the bow made sure only a select few could activate the bow and call it out of its retracted state for use by another person, this was done through the same biometrics that allowed her to flawlessly tell her arrows what mode she wanted them in when they were launched from her bow. It was actually quite useful when you thought about it and the technologies potential uses in the future, I mean more people than you thought have tried to steal her stuff and what you thought was quite a lot so why not use the technology to make sure that only a certain few people, like her and the closest members of her crew, could make use of her gear and even further uses like using nerve impulses to change the setting on a weapon? I mean in all honesty it would have had to provide more uses than antitheft measures so Lara had decided to take advantage of the tech and make use of it by designing a new type of weapon that you interacted with and made use of through biometrics. That was when her nerve impulses activated the arrow, and a clicking sound could be heard as the advanced piece of technology shifted into the form Lara had chosen for it to decimate her opponents in so that she could take another arrow, fire again, and move on once more.
The titanium tipped arrow launched through the air after being hurled forward by the kevlar reinforced bow string that she was using so that she could not only fire more rapidly than most bows, but also increase her the power of the arrows because she could pull back more, plus it propelled projectiles forward at a faster pace. The arrow hit its target dead on at a range of thirty meters, exploding on impact and engulfing an area of fifteen feet, or five meters, in flame as rock and dirt flew up from the raw power of that the "overkill" arrow created when it embedded itself in the ground. It decimated the area it hit, taking out quite a few of the zombie-like creatures and, thankfully, negating their advanced regenerative capabilities because of the burns that they had endured from the ground shaking, world breaking explosion that occurred. The horde had stopped coming, an indicator that this odd little civilization had run out of soldiers or that they had decided it wasn't worth the fight, Lara remained skeptical and thus cautiously surveyed the area. She was actually quite happy with herself, and with that she thought that the battle was over and it was likely that the new potential friend who had recently arrived and made things so much easier had reached the same conclusion but little did they know it was far from over.
Within moments of the creatures' so-called defeat they all began moving to the front of the church, their pieces merging together along the way and forming larger whole creatures once more for the duo to attack but it seemed that wasn't the end of it. Lara fired another explosive arrow, expecting it to devastate the larger targets but it was absorbed by a shield that came up when the creatures began their fusion into the gargantuan behemoth that was being formed now. Behold, a nightmarish creature like that of a demonic beast-man of a giant released its unholy, guttural roar and repaired all the damage to the creatures that had merged to make this thing up in all of its entirety as the most unholy of all monsters. It possessed four arms, and three legs, all of which as spikes formed from the limbs of the smaller creatures on various positions all over it, it had dense and thick scales that were hard to cut through without the most powerful of weaponry. The eighteen foot tall creature rose one of its legs and crashed it down onto the ground, sending a shockwave of dust of kinetic energy forward that ripped the buildings from their foundation and sent them hurdling towards both of its opponents with the only way to avoid the attack being having fast enough reflexes to hit the ground.
"Get down," Lara only hoped that their ally would be fast enough to propel themselves downward, and smart enough to cover up their eyes.
