| A fictional ancient device created for the ] '']'' and reinvented for '']'', the '''Atlantean Scion''' was apparently capable of "powers beyond the creator himself", that was fashioned by the three great rulers of ]: ], ], and ]. | |||
| The ] was apparently created in parts due to the ] it generated. When the three leaders connected it, it caused ], killing thousands, perhaps millions. It was split once again. Each of the leaders wore their piece around their neck to ensure that it remained apart. | |||
| One of the leaders, ], wished to possess and harness this power. Before she could cause more damage, Qualopec and Tihocan caught her and cast her piece of the device deep under the ancient Egyptian city of ], into the ]. | |||
| After a short meeting, Qualopec and Tihocan sentenced Natla to be frozen in a ] and placed under current-day ], for all time. The island of Atlantis began to break up because of the ] generated by the Scion. The leaders placed all of the Atlantians in green ]s that kept them in stasis until a solution could be found. The two remaining leaders decided to deal with the device the only way they could. Qualopec created a ] high in the ]. This temple was placed under a city created by the ], called ]. Beneath this city, a lost valley laid where Qualopec had apparently animated a group of ]s. In order to reach the entrance to Qualopec’s temple, an intruder would have to encounter these vicious dinosaurs. | |||
| Tihocan traveled to ] and placed his temple beneath the Earth’s surface, but inside a cylinder-like mountain. He hollowed out the mountain and inside, just under the summit he placed a gigantic chamber that contained 4 rooms each containing a ] of a ]. Each god’s ] power was simulated to stop anyone from reaching the keys. After obtaining the keys of ], ], ], and ] (Thor and Neptune were changed to ] and ] respectively for ''Anniversary'', as the rooms were orginally named after the ] by mistake), one could enter a ] within the mountain that was guarded by many wild animals. At the center of the Colosseum was placed a tunnel, that lead to the Palace of ]. This could only be passed through when three ] bars were placed on the Midas statue’s hand and turned into ]. The statue was intended that one would have to ] on the inside wall of the mountain to reach the open palm of Midas' hand but, because of aging, the statue had since fallen apart, and only its legs remained standing. The hand laid on the floor of the caved-in chamber, ready for easy use. After passing through the palace, a ] was placed which lead to where a large ] was situated. Here, three keys had to be found to finally open the ] to the Tomb of Tihocan, underneath the mountain. After many years, a group of monks built ] on top of this mountain, soon learning what laid beneath, but knowing they could never possess it. However, they one day hoped someone will, therefore, they dug into the large god chamber, so that it was accessible from the Folly. | |||
| Inside their temples, Qualopec and Tihocan hid their pieces hoping they would never be found. They both died inside their temples. Qualopec himself never left his chair facing his piece of the Scion when he died, and his aides were ] standing up, still guarding him. Tihocan received a more proper ], when he was discovered dead deep within the mountain when St. Francis’ Folly was placed above. The monks obviously had to have great ] to stop themselves from taking the piece. Tihocan was also guarded by two Atlantean guards outside the entrance to his grave and the second piece of the Scion. | |||
| In ], the ] conducted at the ] in the desert near Los Alamos knocked the seal off Natla’s stasis container, freeing her. Using her ancient knowledge and cunning, Natla gradually amassed a fortune, eventually heading the company ''Natla Technologies'' and taking the first name, Jacqueline (to blend in with modern society). She once again searched for the pieces of the Scion, hoping to reassemble it and harness its power to continue her experiments once again. | |||
| In ], she enlisted the help of the ] tomb raider ] to find the first piece. As she retrieved it from the Tomb of Qualopec, Lara planned to keep it to herself. However, ], one of Natla’s ] was sent to kill her and take the Scion. Lara escaped and searched for the other pieces. After she had rummaged through the Tomb of Tihocan (killing ], another one of Natla’s cronies) and the Sanctuary of the Scion, Lara had gained the last two pieces. Her victory was short lived. | |||
| Natla had been waiting for Lara at the exit to the ]. She stole the pieces back, bringing them with her to Atlantis. After infiltrating Atlantis, Lara discovered that Natla wanted to use the scion's power to breed ]s, then unleash them on the world to try and invoke a new surge of ]. But before she could finish, she was stopped and apparently killed by Croft, along with the first of a new breed of mutants. Croft destroyed the Scion, and the resulting ] caused the mountain to begin breaking apart. As she was escaping, Lara once again encountered Natla, who revealed her true form as a winged Atlantean; she was extremely resilient and had to be beaten twice before she was killed. Lara then escaped as one of the last remaining parts of Atlantis was destroyed behind her. | |||
