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

Chapter 13: The Insanity of The Lord of Calamity

Sorey just thought purifying the Drake would be simple, right? Shoot it down, purify Marlind, and heal the sick. No. What he didn't expect was a gigantic roar to resound through the whole city and what felt like an earthquake shake the ground. "What's happening!?" Alisha asked, wobbling with Sorey, Mikleo and Lailah. The Earth Seraph on the ground was still unconscious. "The Earthpulse is resonating with Maotelus, but in a bad way! Something's wrong!" Edna said to them all through their heads. That's when Sorey then fell backwards after feeling what felt like a wall crash into him. "W-What was that!?" Sorey asked. "A blessed domain, even stronger then Gramps and yours!" Mikleo replied. They all looked at the blood moon and saw eight, white dragon heads flying upwards through the sky.

Five heads veered off towards their direction while the other three went flying somewhere else. The five heads crashed right outside Marlind and three loud and familiar screams of pain rang through the city. Sorey looked at Alisha and Lailah. "You guys watch over the Seraph! We'll go look for Velvet and her friends!" "Right!" Alisha and Lailah said. Edna appeared from Sorey and began to run with him and Mikleo. They opened the gates and ran out. They looked everywhere for Velvet and her group, but couldn't find them anywhere. "Where could they be!?" Edna yelled. The shaking grew more horrendous and the voice of Eleanor rang out. "VELVET!" She screamed. Sorey looked at his Seraphim in fear and they ran towards the voice.

When they found them, they saw Velvet convulsing on the ground with Medissa and Kamoana. Orthie and Russ were on their sides and whimpering in pain. "Velvet! Velvet come on! Stop it! You're scaring me!" Said a young boy. The boy looked around 11 years old and had blonde hair. He had the same golden eyes as Velvet and wore a white shirt with a green cardigan. He wore beige pants and had on brown shoes. His skin was a bit pale too, like he never once stepped into the sunlight. Velvet's eyes were wide open, but she looked as if she was staring off into space. She looked to be screaming in pain, but no sound left her mouth. Medissa and Kamoana were the same. The only ones that were making noise were the dogs, but they were whimpering. "Guys!" Sorey called. Magilou turned to their direction and saw the Shepherd, Mikleo and Edna.

"What happened to the Drake!?" Magilou called out. "Purified!" Mikleo answered, coming to a halt in front of Velvet. "Edna!" Sorey called out. "Right! Healing Circle!" She yelled. A circle surrounded all five of the Therions and started healing them. They started to calm down a bit, but still twitched every once in a while. "Damn! What happened!? Why are they like this!?" Eizen asked, trying to speak through the ghastly roar. "It's because of Innominat! Or better yet, me!" The boy told them. "You are Innominat!?" Eleanor asked, readying her spear. "Yes, but this time, I'm protecting my sister!" Innominat said. "Sister!?" Sorey, Mikleo and Edna exclaimed in confusion. "Sister?" Eizen, Eleanor and Dyle questioned. "Sister... You're Innominat, but with Laphicet's personality!" Magilou stated.

Laphicet stood up and looked Magilou directly in the eyes. What she saw made her tense up. She saw power, anger, and sedated hunger. "I'm both." He replied. By now, the moon had gone down and the roaring stopped. Then Velvet loudly gasped and sat up. Medissa and Kamoana did the same. Medissa leaned on her two arms and Kamoana sat on her knees. Orthie and Russ sat and whined. Medissa and Kamoana looked at their own appearances. "No... No..." Medissa said with despair, feeling the now cold blood run through her system. Kamoana had tears running down her eyes. "Why... not again..." The little girl sobbed. Eleanor dropped her spear and ran to the little girl, bringing her into a hug. Kamoana cried into her shoulder. "That's it... let it out... there you go..." Eleanor said. "AAH!" They all heard someone scream. They all looked at the gates and saw a guard brandishing his weapon at them.

"M-Monsters!" He yelled. This caused everyone to pale and freeze. "T-They can see you?" Sorey questioned. Magilou turned to confront Teresa, but found the Exorcist gone. It looked like she vanished in thin air. Velvet didn't know what to do. "Wait! Don't attack them!" Sorey said to the guard. "Back away from them citizen! They need to be exterminated." The guard said. "Wait! Let me explain!" Sorey said, confronting the guard. "Just listen to my command!" the man said, anger evident in his voice. That's when the guard grunted in pain. A dark mist started rolling off his body. "Oh no..." Velvet said. "Sorey! Move away from him!" Dyle yelled. "Why... why..." The guard said. The mist swirled around his body. "Why aren't you listening to me!?" The guard roared, turning into a Hellion.
