Clay was healing quite well on his own, Xz added a nice touch but still it wasn’t enough, nor did it do anything to dull the pain. 
The newcomer, while a formidable ally, only further irritated Clay with his skill and ability. If any one was gonna be the hero, Clay’s pride and ego wouldn’t let it be him.
Without a word it would come down to race since time was against them. Logically the faster of them would take out the aircraft, cutting off any escape and disabling any weapons. The slower would aid Evelyn leaving K12 to take out the snipers. 

[b]”Let’s do this!”[/b] Clay growled to Xz, falling deeper into the beast. He underwent another transformation, continuing on where he left off before. His healing was forced into overdrive as a new energy shot through him. Exploding from his resting place against the tavern wall, a powerful large wolf darted across cold floor. It’s brilliant sleek black coat a blur in the night sky as it crossed the field in an amazing pace. Far larger, stronger and more powerful than any normal dog, and enhanced by Zx he was quick. Still he wasn’t quite as fast as a cheetah but he had a small head start. 

Where he was in the race suddenly didn’t matter. In no time at all he came upon the soldiers transporting Evelyn and instinctively the beast took over. Before they could even lift a gun or knew what was happening, the wolf had leapt upon one of them and tore his throat out. 
Standing over the lifeless corps the giant wolf curled its lips back and snarled, blood dripping from its wide open jaw, it’s wild eyes staring intently, daring and challenging the remaining people.
