Lady Calamity and the Shepherd (Tales of Berseria × Tales of Zestiria Crossover)

Chapter 9: The Reaper's Curse

As Velvet and Eleanor fought, Magilou was filled with nostalgia while Sorey and everyone else watched the battle, worried. "No mercy!" Velvet suddenly yelled. She jabbed her blade towards Eleanor and left it there. Eleanor groaned in pain. "You thought I stopped their?" Velvet suddenly asked. Her eyes changed from gold to crimson red and she unleashed her deamon arm. She had a murderous look on her face. "Annihilating-" Velvet yelled, bringing her arm towards Eleanor, knocking her away and into the mountain, red demonic energy surrounding her. "-Crash!" Velvet yelled. "That was..." Sorey said in wonder. "A Mystic Arte. Second tier." Magilou stated. Eleanor fell forwards back on to her feet. She was breathing hard. "Still think I haven't lost my touch?" Velvet asked. "Your still the cold hearted and graceless deamon I know, that's for sure." Eleanor told her best friend (Even though both girls won't admit it...) and rival.

That's when Eleanor moved towards her with lightning speed. "Here I come!" She yelled. She slashed at Velvet who gasped in pain. "Hidden Arte!" Eleanor yelled. She then unleashed a flurry of jabs with her spear while saying "Spiral-" Lastly, Eleanor did one more jab upwards, unleashing a gigantic tornado that sent Velvet flying. "-Hail!" Eleanor finished. "Argh!" Velvet screamed. "Another Mystic Arte!" Lailah stated. Velvet slowly got back up. Eleanor let lose a Maelstrom sucking Velvet into the middle. Velvet got out and used Mega Sonic Thrust, sending Eleanor up into the air. Magilou was growing tired of the fighting so she did what she thought was a good idea. "Gravity Bomb!" She chanted, conjuring up a tiny blue ball in between the fighting duo. "Shit!" Velvet said as she and Eleanor realized too late. "Oh no!" Eleanor yelled. The ball expanded and blasted them downwards towards the ground.

"You two done? Or are we rescuing Eizen?" Magilou asked with an irritated look. Velvet and Eleanor looked at each other and laughed. "You haven't lost your fighting spirit." Velvet said with a smile. Eleanor gave a fake gasp. "What's this? The great Lady Calamity is smiling? I didn't even know she had the ability to smile!" Eleanor teased with a smile as well. Both of them laughed and slowly stood back up. Magilou smiled at their interaction and Alisha said "Wow... you two must be best friends! Always competiting and trying to get better then the other..." This statement caused Velvet and Eleanor to glare at her. "We aren't best friends!" They yelled simultaneously, then stomped past the others and towards the summit. "And that is the Eleanor and Velvet I know..." Magilou sighed. Everyone laughed. They ran and followed them, but then came across a Mountain Troll Hellion.

"We got this!" Sorey said, running in with Alisha behind him. Lailah and Mikleo both appeared beside them with their weapons ready. Velvet, Magilou, and Eleanor watched from the side. All four of them were failing. The Troll was too strong. Until a voice called out "Hah. Man oh man, what a bunch of amateurs." All of them looked behind them and saw a shirtless man with long platinum hair with the tips green. His emerald green eyes gleamed. "Zavied..."Eleanor said, catching the man's attention. "Well well well! I only thought these two were still alive, not the other beauty." Zavied said, pulling out his gun and aiming at his head. "Siegfried..." Magilou muttered quietly. He smirked and fired. His head flew away from the barrel and he bent forwards. A gust of powerful wind surrounded him. "Can't take the heat, huh. Looks like Zavied here is gonna show you first timers how it's done!" He yelled, running into the battle.

Zavied then unleashed a flurry of whips from his pendulum. The Mountain Troll flew backwards, but then slowly got up. Zavied then readied a shot from Siegfried, but aimed it at the Troll. "No! Don't!" Lailah screamed out. Zavied fired, killing the Hellion. Alisha gave a horrified gasp and said "Oh my gosh..." "He... He killed it?" Sorey asked. "You bastard!" Mikleo snarled. The three women watched them, waiting to see what would happen. "Hey! It was a Hellion. And Hellions belong in hell." Zavied stated. Velvet gave a low, menacing growl. Zavied froze and looked over his shoulder with a smirk. "Something to say, Lady Calamity?" He mocked, then continued towards the now dead human. "We could have safely quelled it. There was no need to kill it!" Sorey yelled. Zavied bend down when he reached the kid and examined the body.
