The plane thumped . Finally , Lara has arrived in Xi ' an ! Lara sat silent by the window , her icy blue eyes fixed upon the airport . As time went , they eventually reached the humongous , marvelous , beautiful hotel . Even though they had a week there , her parents already began to plan activities for today ! After planning and catching a taxi , they proceeded through the gates of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda . The steep stairs were difficult to climb , but eventually they reached the top . All of a sudden , Lara observed a sparkling portal , roamed through and then , the magical portal disappeared ! Lara was back in the time of the 16 th century ! Wait , is that ? No , it can ' t be ! Sun Wu Kong and his friends ! Despite wanting to stay , she knew she had to accept that she had to go back to her family . Immediately after nearing her family , Lara noticed that Sun Wu Kong followed her ! Once they were back at the hotel , Lara figured that she should tell her parents about Sun Wu Kong following them . " Mum , dad , I need to talk to you ." " Yes , Lara , what would you like ?" Lara ' s mum said in a hushed voice ." Well ... When we were at the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda , I saw something sparkling ... I walked through it and it took me back to the 16 th century and well ..." " Go on ." Lara ' s dad said kindly . " Well ... Sun Wu Kong followed me . Him and his friends ." Lara finished telling them . She was relived , but time to see their reaction . " That ' s fascinating !" Lara ' s parents said at the same time . " I ' m going to go see them then ." Whispered Lara .
Right after she arrived , she found Sun Wu Kong and his friends leaving . " Where are you going ?" " On a journey to India . We have to prepare to walk there ." Replied Sand Monk . " Why are you walking ? Why not just take a plane ?" Suggested Lara . " What ' s a plane ? Why have I not heard of this , plane , before ?" Questioned Tang Monk . " Come on , I ' ll take you on one . Let ' s go to India !" At the airport , Lara bought the tickets . Out of nowhere , she felt strange ... The portal has re-opened !
Confused , shocked , frightened , Lara warned Tang Monk , then he warned Zhu Ba Jie and so on . Sun Wu Kong felt suspicious ... The monsters came out of the portal , and they were disguised as humans ! Tang Monk stated that the monsters used their powers to travel so they could find them . Zhu Ba Jie pointed out that they were on the plane with them ! The ' human ' monsters trotted towards Sun Wu Kong , so he stood up and , as usual , they fought . Knowing the rules of the plane , Sun Wu Kong fought weakly . In addition to going against the rules , the monsters got thrown off the plane .
Lara felt that familiar thump . Now , they were in India ! Walking down the planes stairs , they realized that the monsters were there ! Fortunately , they were heading back to their time . Although they wanted to stay , Sun Wu Kong and his friends also went back . " We better go back ... Also , we are in India , so when we go back to our time , we will be in India . Thank you ." Sun Wu Kong thanked Lara . " Good bye !" Lara sadly waved good bye to her special new friends . She made it look like she was happy but really , she was going to miss them ...
After arriving back home , everything was back to normal . Well , it was all normal until she felt a familiar feeling ... The portal re-opened !
