ZOIDS
Darkness on the Battlefield; Enter the Phantom
By: Spectral
CHAPTER 5
NOTE: I do NOT own zoids or any of its characters. I do own the Phantom and the Black Wing Liger, though.
Leena: Who are you?
Bit: Where'd you get that zoid?
Brad: Do you get a cut of the prize money from the battle?
The Phantom put down his coffee and looked up. He and the Blitz Team had just defeated the Backdraft. They said they wanted to talk, so after the battle he followed them back to the Taros Base.
He was sitting in the tactics room with the Blitz Team. Dr. Taros was is the hanger drooling over the Black Wing Liger.
Phantom: I'm called Phantom, someone tricked me into buying it, and no.
Bit: Someone tricked us into buying the Liger Zero, too.
Leena: We already know that you're the Phantom. Don't you have a real name?
The Phantom gave Leena a look that could have sliced through stone. After that no one asked him about his identity.
For a while after that, the Blitz Team asked the Phantom about all the rumors. They were surprised to find out that most of them were true, especially the one about the guy who found out the Phantom's true identity (he was never heard from again), though the Phantom refused to say what he did with the guy.
Leena: How do you use a stealth shield and an energy shield when you're not in a zoid?
Phantom: Well I was spying on some guy named Layon and I saw the plans for portable Stealth and Energy shields and I stole them. The way he had them, they wouldn't have worked, but I fixed them.
Doc who was is the hanger then entered the room.
Doc: Team, can I have word with you?
The Blitz Team got up and left the room, leaving the Phantom alone.
Leena: Well what is it, Dad?
Doc: Well according to these read-outs the Black Wing Liger is an Ultimate X (this story is before the Royal Cup, but pretend they know about the Ultimate X's anyway).
Bit, Brad, and Leena: !!!
Doc: Anyway….I was thinking of asking the Phantom to join the Blitz Team and I wanted to know if it was okay with you guys.
Bit, Brad, and Leena: WHAT????
Doc: c'mon with two Ultimate X's we'd be the strongest team around.
Brad: Good point. Since we'd be the strongest we'd win a lot more and we'd get a lot more prize money, so I vote yes.
Leena: Hmmmmm, I think it would be a good idea to have another Ultimate X on our side.
Bit: Well it's okay with me but what about Jamie? Doesn't he have a say in this?
Doc: I already asked him and he said yes. That settles it I'm going to ask the Phantom to join the Blitz Team!
The Blitz Team and Dr. Taros went back into the Tactics room but the Phantom was gone. On the table in front of where he was, were an empty coffee cup and a card. Bit walked over and picked up the card then read it aloud.
Bit: "Sorry to leave without any notice but I received an emergency call. See you guys later, Phantom" That's all it says.
Jamie came running into the room.
Jamie: Guys, The Black Wing Liger just broke out of the hanger!
Bit threw Jamie the card and then he and the rest of the Blitz Team left the room
