The code accepted; Unit Two's restraints started to break away. Whereas before the shoulder fins had been containing the beast, they now unchained it. The internal limiters coiled out of the massive creature's flesh, allowing unrestricted movement. All at once the Eva fell forwards into a more natural, more predatory posture.

The four eyes shifted from bright neon green to an orange unlike any other; a deep, bright amber, yellow and orange and golden, shifting at a glance, but remaining consistent. The jaw burst open, and wicked, elongated fangs burst to replace its teeth.

And then the entry plug shot out.

The armour concealing the Eva's appearance fell aside, and the limiters, now removed, dropped to the ground. Most of its body armour was broken as a pair of arms burst forth from its flanks, the rest was torn off by the Eva itself, ripping and tearing, leaving no human blemish upon its body.

The massive war machine now took its true form, its four eyes glowing slightly as the sheer heat from its body made the air around it hazy. It walked forwards, fires erupting from where it trod, and all over its own skin. Normally they had heat sinks built onto them to survive the far hotter climate of Earth, but this specimen had no such need for heat dispersal, it had all but unlimited power. The fires over its body damaged it, but the damage could just be repaired. It turned to the creature known as an Angel, and with a wave of one of its four hands, shattered the opposing AT field. Strolling up to Zeruel fearlessly, despite the massive blows repeatedly dealt to it, it started to dine on the succulent, live, flesh of its aeons-old foe, before turning its gaze to the angry little ants that were members of an inferior species that had risen in its absence from this lonely planet.

Yet more food for its delectation.
