Cradle of Life: Part Two

Title: Alexander Pierce

Summary: After your father’s death, you’re sent a box of his belongings. Come to find out, one of your father’s enemies is after said belongings so you reach out to a few of your friends for help. 

Warnings: fencing sparring with weapons, foil & Sais; gun violence/bullets; character injury/death; mentions of blood/Ebola; gunshot wound; home intrusion; and I believe that’s everything. If I miss anything, I do apologize but you are responsible for what you read. 

Wordcount: 1,478

Two days later and you were still trying to break the code on the orb. To say you were getting frustrated would be an understatement and it showed while you were sparring with Edwin. The two of you were fencing and you were being a bit too aggressive for a simple sparring match. You hated to do it but eventually you caved and called Rick, who almost immediately agreed to help. Just as you were lunging forward, Jake entered the room. 

“Anything?” You bark as you remove your helmet and turn your head towards Jake. 

Edwin tries to advance but you manage to block his move just in time, you grunt as you do. Jake sighs as he shakes his head, not wanting to be on the receiving end of your aggression. 

“I know it’s sound that this coin represents but so far everything that I’ve tried hasn’t worked. And there could be dozens, hell, thousands of combinations of sounds that might do the trick. It’ll take a while before I have anything.” Jake explains, and he waits for your reply as you spar against Edwin. 

He watches as the swords tangle together and Edwin manages to knock yours out of your hand and it flies across the floor. A smile forms on Edwin’s face, one of being victorious causing you to narrow your gaze at him. You then do a couple of back flips and collect the Sais displayed on the wall. You twirl them a couple of times as you walk back towards Edwin, the smile from his face instantly fading. You turn your head towards Jake as you get into a defense position. 

“Then we’ll try thousands.” 

Jake lets out a huff of air. “Alright, I’ll get back at it then.” 

Jake walks away and heads back towards the office, he could tell he was in for a long night. You and Edwin continued to spar, each countering the other’s move. You eventually knock Edwin’s sword out of his hands and he concedes. The rest of the day was pretty calm with the slightest bit of tension clinging in the air. You and Jake tried different sound combinations but nothing seemed to be working, which only frustrated you and Jake more. It wasn’t until Edwin was bringing you two some coffee at the late hour, when you finally made some headway on the orb. You were taking a huge drink of your fresh coffee when the orb finally responded to the sound causing Jake to perk up. 

“Woah, what was that?” Jake inquired as he sat up, adjusting his glasses. “Do that again.” 

Before you could do anything though, a bullet broke through the glass window and instantly shattered it. The bullet flies past you and into the decorative bust on the table across your desk. Several more bullets follow suit as the three of you begin to take cover. You roll under the desk, grabbing the two hidden guns that are concealed beneath it. 

“Jake!” You call out to him before looking over at him. You smile to see that he’s already armed. 

The two of you nod at each other as you prepare yourself for a fight. The bullets suddenly stop and you go to peek over the desk when men in tactical gear smash through the window. 

“Get back!” You yell and you look over to see if Edwin is alright, only to find him gone. 

The men begin to force you and Jake out of the room as they begin firing again. Jake pulls you close to him as you scramble out of the office. You already know what they’re after, you don’t even have to think twice about it. The two men keep pushing you and Jake further away from the office as a third man comes through the now broken window. He walks up to the orb and just as he begins to pick it up to put it into a bag, he hears the cock of a shotgun. 

“I don’t think so.” Edwin says sternly and with a straight face. The intruder doesn’t respond so Edwin shoots off a round past the man, a warning shot. “The next one won’t miss. Leave now.” Edwin orders, cocking the shotgun again. 

Edwin then screams out in pain as a bullet pierce his right shoulder causing him to fall to his hands and knees. The intruder takes this moment to snag the orb and run off with it. Just as you and Jake were returning to the office, Edwin was getting back up on his feet as he held his shoulder. 

“Edwin!” You rush over to him to help him and so does Jake. 

He shakes his head, refusing your help. “I’m fine. I’m sorry Y/n but they got the orb, I tried to stop them.” 

You were about to say something when the sound of someone stepping on glass catches the attention of all of you. Still on high alert, you and Jake aim your guns in that direction only to lower them again. 

“What the hell happened here?” Rick inquired as he examined all of the damage. 

You can’t help but roll your eyes at him. “Someone just stole my bloody orb.” You say it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. 

Meanwhile, Alexander Pierce along with six other men and women are in a conference room in one of Pierce’s many high rises located in Madripoor. As Pierce is talking about his latest discoveries, one of the men starts coughing and spitting up blood. Looks of concern form on the other’s faces whereas Pierce stops his pacing as he glances down to his watch. When he looks back up, he nods to a waiting agent and they begin to pass out a small pill. Pierce watches as everyone accepts the pill before adjusting his tie. He then starts to walk towards the coughing man, speaking as he does. 

“There’s an expression: “It’s not nice to fool mother nature.” Yet, that’s precisely what I’ve been doing for some time now. While the weapons I make serve their purpose, there have always been limitations. Stable diseases aren’t lethal. Deadly ones burn out too quickly. Mother nature can only be fooled so much. Deploy my weapons, and your enemies, however great, will collapse from within,” Pierce pauses for a brief moment as the man starts to cough harder. “Rather like Mr. Malick’s collapsing right now.” Pierce was about to continue when Ms. Hawley interrupts him. 

“What the hell is going on?!” Mrs. Hawley speaks up, a slight waver in her voice. 

Pierce turns to her. “Malick told MI6 about this meeting. That’s why the change in location. He was going to turn me over to them in return for his own safety.” Pierce then turns his attention to Malick, who was still coughing uncontrollably. Pierce grabs him by the hair and forces him to look at him. “A smart man would’ve known I was on to him. He would’ve never come to the meeting. But I knew you would. You actually thought you could fool me. That, gentlemen, is the sound of a traitor dying,” Pierce lets go of Mr. Malick as he takes his final breath. A long, pregnant pause fills the room as the group waits for what Pierce has to say next. “That was an accelerated form of Ebola, deadliest disease known to man. Highly contagious. However, as with all known diseases, there exist stockpiles of antiserum in the West.” Pierce was over by the agent who had handed out the pills and took the last one. He glances down at his watch and waits a few more seconds before taking the pill and placing it in his mouth, swallowing it down with nothing but his saliva. He waits a moment as he watches his colleagues do the same thing except swallowing theirs down with water. “There is no antiserum for what I’m offering you. No treatment. No vaccine. No cure. The world’s never seen anything like what I’ve uncovered.” 

“Uncovered?” Rockwell inquires. 

Pierce turns to him. “Yes, see, I’ve branched out. Archaeology. 5-3-4-9-2-0-8, that is the account at the Mashreq Bank. One hundred million each, if you please.” 

The group looks around at each other, each wondering what exactly could be worth that type of money. Pierce then spots Brock Rumlow out of the corner of his eye, waiting for him. Pierce then concludes the meeting, telling them the short version of Pandora’s box before walking out of the conference room. Rumlow and Pierce then begin to walk down the hallway. 

“Did you retrieve it?” Pierce inquires, glancing over at Brock. 

“Yes sir. It’s down in the lab as we speak.” Brock replies. 

Pierce nods his head in approval. “Good. Because I just told a room full of men about Pandora. We can’t have any setbacks.”

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (2003)

With sequels comes the temptation, the perceived need for more.  A bigger impact to satisfy the itch.  The Cradle of Life is given the impossible task of coming up with a MacGuffin even more crazy than a triangle that can control time.  It makes a safe gamble with Pandora’s Box, rendering it in this interpretation the container for some sort of apocalyptic pathogen thing that of course some craze-o wants to access because bad guy.  So where else can it go?  What other options does a Tomb Raider movie have than to be more baderer.  We get more globe-trotting locations, even more egregiously unnecessary acrobatics—why just shimmy along a rope when you can flip over it repeatedly?  The cherry on top of it all is the awkward CGI.  Its predecessor was bad enough that the clunky pixellated idol looked charmingly like something straight out of a video game.  By a few years later, graphics were seemingly better and yet somehow all the worse for it.  Cradle of Life peaks early with the glorious image of Lara punching a flawlessly rendered shark in order to hitch a ride.  Does it take her longer to attract its attention than she rides it for?  Could she have just swum upward during that time?  Sure and sure, but you’re missing the point: she punches a shark.  Equally seamless are things like: Angelina Jolie definitely riding on the Great Wall of China.  Angelina Jolie daintily walking on top of terra cotta warriors that can carry her weight.  Angelina Jolie nonchalantly riding a neon sign that nobody notices until the last second.  Star Wars monsters attacking soldiers in a spooky forest.  Upside down rock caves.  And Ciarán Hinds getting turned into a muscle man.  Truly riveting stuff.  At least we had the romance between Lara Croft and Terry Sheridan to anchor us.  Never before have we seen two people exist in a room together with such… existence.  The never-explained vague past!  The kissy time!  The tragic turn at the end!  Move aside, Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. 

THE RULES

SIP

Someone names a historical figure.

More unnecessary acrobatics!

Someone names a disease.

Ciarán Hinds checks his watch.

BIG DRINK

Someone says ‘orb’.  It’s a great word.

Awful CGI.

REVIEW: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life still has the early 2000s action cheesiness, over the top action and Angelina Jolie, however, it’s considerably worse than its predecessor. Entertaining in parts but not the whole.

The Next Tomb Raider thing that I received was the new Kumik & webtoontoys 1:6 scale figure based off her from the second movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life It is some what different from the original version of the figure which I also have. I think this one is more movie accurate with the wetsuit being more of a shiny material and the straps being more similar to how they actually are I'm not sure about the face sculpt if it is different or not I haven't compared them fully yet. but this new one also has a realistic rooted ponytail which I think is a great touch. I do think this newer version is in most cases way better then the original. but one thing is strange is with this version it comes with a wooden stand/base rather then the usual plastic stand. its a nice and interesting touch but like I said a lil unusual
