(The being removes its feet. Eva had her hands up to block the kicks, but she is severely injured.)
Eva: *Cough* That was not cool…
(The being kicks again, further denting the wall. Eva blocks again, but both of her arms break. They hang down to her sides and she becomes half conscious. Zellos tries to move to help, but spikes erupt into his feet, then make a hook shape to lock him in place. Eva stares at the being, who is now rearing to kick again. With all of her effort, she throws her hands forward, screaming in pain. The being kicks and she catches its foot. Her eyes faintly start to glow. Her arms start to crack and snap as they repair themselves.)
Eva: (I don't know what's happening, but this may be what Zellos was talking about.) Get off of me!
(She takes it's foot and throws it off of her. It flies back and slams into the wall behind Zellos. She limps forward and looks around. She touches the floor and all the metal in the cavern begins to break down.)
Eva: What is this feeling? No time to figure it out.
(She goes up to Zellos and touches him. His body doesn't begin to heal which confuses her.)
Eva: It's not working.
Zellos: What isn't?
(The being begins to get up, but Eva extends her hand and manipulates the plates on its body to hook into the walls.)
Eva: I don't know. Something I felt could help. I guess I can try this?
(She controls the metal into Zellos' body and fills in the holes with it.)
Eva: Can you move?
Zellos: *Staring* Do you realize what you just did?
Eva: I helped her to help you.
Zellos: You said her.
(Eva's irises turn into a pure white color. One that seemed to glow, but didn't actually.)
Eva: If I understand correctly, I can use this sweatband for power. I put him asleep for a change. So, I will assist this once.
Zellos: Who are you?
Eva: Get ready. *Slams hands on the ground* 1,000 piercing ground!
(The moment her hands touched the ground, Zellos felt a large, but soothing spike in power that resonates with him. He instinctively jumps up into the air. The being breaks free by shedding the plates from its body, leaving it more vulnerable. Rocks tipped with diamond erupt from the ground many at a time up until 1,000 is reached. Zellos begins thrusting from above the being, sending sharp pressurized air able to pierce 5 inch thick titanium.)
Zellos: Atmospheric rain.
Eva/Zellos: Unison assault: Fierce heavens, biting Earth!
(The pressure from the multiple attacks coming from above and below crunch the being into a ball. Eva launches forward and jams her hand in the center of the being. The being shatters into pieces, and Eva's eyes return to normal.)
Eva: *Whisper in her head* (Last time.) Who…?
(Eva's pocket glows and the energy from the being transfers into it. She quickly reaches in and pulls out the wrench.)
Eva: It was him.
Zellos: No surprise...Eva, do you recall what just happened?
Eva: Only up until I touched you...I wish I knew what was going on.
Araru: Girl! What did you do to me!?
Eva: I did nothing…
Araru: Liar! I don't know how you did it, but putting me to sleep was dirty!
