Emma Millstein (Trails of Cold Steel) vs. Lulua Frixell (Atelier Lulua)

Inside an ancient ruins, Emma and Celine are walking through the corridor.

Emma: Did you sense a powerful magic presence here?

Celine: Yes. We better investigate what is going on and report to Roselia immediately.

Emma: Understood! (nods)

Celine: Wait, Emma! There's someone here!

Just ahead of them, Lulua is standing in front of a large door reading her Alchemyriddle.

''Alchemyriddle: To open this door, one must obtain a ??? from a ???.''

Lulua: Oh, I see. The images show a girl with a black cat but, where do I find them?

Emma: Excuse me...

Lulua responds to Emma's voice and turns around.

Emma: I'm sorry but, you can't be here. These ruins are under the jurisdiction of the Hexen Clan. I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave.

Lulua: Huh? Oh... I'm sorry! It's just that I need to see what's behind this door so I can save...

Lulua's Alchemyriddle begins to glow. The text on it changes.

Alchemyriddle: To open this door, one must obtain a "Orbal Staff" from a "Hexen Clan Witch".

Lulua: Ahh... That's it! You're the key to opening to opening this door. Do you mind if I borrow your staff for a moment?

Celine: What gall! Emma, this girl can't be trusted!

Emma: Understood! My apologies but, I can't allow you to proceed any further!

Emma's orbal staff glows with a bright purple light. She fires three orbs of dark energy at Lulua.

Lulua: Aaah!

Lulua rolls out of the way and behind a pillar as the orbs impact the door. After regaining her footing, she spots her basket right beside her.

Lulua: Sigh... It doesn't look like I can just talk with her. With Eva, Piana and Aurel not around, I guess I have no choice but to fight by myself. I have to do this! For everyone, mom, and Stia!

Lulua grabs her basket, comes out of hiding, and pulls out an item.

Lulua: Barrel!

Emma: Huh?

From above, a barrel drops on Emma and explodes, sending her tumbling across the floor.

Emma: Nngh... What is she?

Celine: It's just as I thought. She's an alchemist. Her items are imbued with magic properties. Do not underestimate her!

Emma: I see. It's time for me to get serious then.

Emma gets up and channels her magic into her orbal staff. At the same time, Lulua pulls out her own staff and reaches into her basket for another item.

Emma: Ethereal Edge!

Lulua: Magic Sword!

Both Emma and Lulua fire a storm of magic blades at each other. The preview ends just as the blades are about to clash.
