Black threw a few more Dark Missiles, leaving a few three inch holes in the wolf's head.
"My weapon would be of great use right now."
Black ran forward, and cast Dark Fire. The Wolf erupted in flames, and started to howl as it burned. Black turned around, and slowly walked away. The great wolf took one final swing at Black. Casually, he ducked, dodging the massive, flaming paw. Black glanced over his shoulder, and then continued walking away.
"Guess I didn't need it. Well, thank you for your help. The thing didn't notice me until it was too late. Now, I owe you a favor. What shall I do for you? OH! Wait, you haven't met me yet, have you? Well, I am Mr. Black, former cat, now man once again. But I'm still a bit of both."
He shifted back into panther form, and then back to his humanoid form. He then changed his skin color to white, appearing fully human. He bowed deeply. "I am at your service."

Sentra lowered to the ground as Black made his way to where he would stand. She shook her wings and folded them, and her hawk landed to do the same on her shoulder. She stood tall, though not as tall as he perhaps, and looked him in the eye as his appearance changed yet again. His voice was only slightly different now that he spoke, less of a whisper and more of a deep and commanding tone. She tipped her head to the side, hair falling over her eye ever so slightly.
With a blink of confusion at his bow to her, she replied, "I can ask little more of you than your companionship now and then. It is a lonely world, and frankly I've become rather attached to you. It's not often you find a fellow experiment roaming the world without purpose. It has been lovely to enjoy your company."
Sentra looked up to the sky, spread her wings and sent her hawk friend off silently, "Mr. Black, there will come a day when I need your assistance. All I ask is that you give it. Weapons can do little but wait for their call to battle and pray for a way out. You, my friend, are more than a weapon to me. Know that."
With that, she gave a great thrust with her wings, a spiraling cloud of wind spun around her, and she took on the form of a great red hawk. She gained altitude quickly, and then let herself turn downward again, flying back toward him, talons clenched around a golden chain with a silver claw on the end. Pulling up at just the right time, she flew just over his head, dropping the trinket toward him and giving him a farewell scream that echoed through the trees.
Flying toward the empty horizon, the two birds dipped and dove playfully until they were but dots above the skyline.

Mr. Black caught the chain as it fell, and fastened it around his neck. He shifted back to the form of a panther, but the necklace remained a normal, golden chain. He took off, running after Sentra, chasing the great bird as fast as he could, even though he knew that it was too late. He was always late. Be it with The Order of the Silver Star, to killing Darklighter and Sturm. He felt a burning desire, a calling to find her, to figure out what was needed of him. For once in his existence, he felt alone. So very much alone. But suddenly, the roar of massive jet engines roared across the plain. Several small spots appeared, falling toward him at a rapid rate. Oh Hell no... You arrogant bastard... Snake!
