<<Acknowledged, Racer. Meanwhile, we have found an exit way from the zone. We'll meet you momentarily.>>Rex gritted his teeth as he felt the background count rising and the power of his shield waning. Even more problematic was, that he felt his chosen form flicker. If the shape changing spell he'd be wrecked again by pain. Besides, they were likely heading again into a combat area.
With heavy heart he thought:
'Oh Son of the Eastwind, you have proven yourself beyond all expectations and I thank you for all your works. I release you from our bargain and bid you fairwell.'Again he concentrated and called and for an old "friend".

Once again, Rex opened certain gates inside himself and called to the Kami known as the Great Hunter. He and the Beast were foe and brother, friend and rival, bound in an eternal struggle - which made Rex feel a certain turmoil inside him as his patron realized whom Rex had invited.
'This is a strange place to hunt. The kamis are wrong and not worthy of being prey.'
'I greet you Great Hunter. This may very well be, but where we are going there will be prey enough. Please, lend me your strength and guidance. Transform our body into the hunting beast and give swiftness to our limbs. For we are about to hunt the most dangerous game.''Mortal folly, to hunt in the blighted wilds, but never be it said that I feared to hunt at any place.'
Rex released his hold on the spell he maintained for his dog form and felt as his features transformed into the lithe body of a mountain lion, filling up the fabric of his K9 protective suit, while the micro actuators on his straps and flaps adjusted for the size increase.
<<Whatever we do, we can't stay there longer than five minutes. I have a spirit inside me now and I can't risk it turning toxic. It's bad enough that I called it at this place. I just hope that my body will give enough shelter to its essence to prevent it from turning.
Oh and before I forget it: Keep still, that might feel weird for a moment.>>With that, he moved his tail, close to Waywalker's face an concentrated, granting him to the increased reaction speed, he himself was enjoying.
