ZOIDS
Darkness on the Battlefield; Enter the Phantom
By: Spectral
CHAPTER 7
NOTE: I still don't own Zoids or any of its characters, but The Phantom and The Black Wing Liger are mine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three days went by rather quickly as the Blitz Team prepared to battle the Phantom. The very same Phantom that had helped them out many times before, just recently acted as Judge for one of their battles, and had NEVER lost a single zoid battle, EVER.
On the last day before the fight, Jamie called the team to the Tactics room to go over the strategy for the battle.
Jamie: Okay…so far we've seen two different versions of the Black Wing Liger, Black and Purple. The Purple one is basically just a stronger version of the Black one. They have mostly the same abilities. Bit, you in the Schneider will follow every move the Phantom makes to make sure he doesn't disappear. Brad, if he gets away from Bit, it's up to you and the ShadowFox to find him. I'll keep him out of the air if I can. Now we're going to try and lure him into Leena's range of fire to win the battle.
Bit: Simple enough…good job Jamie…
** Next Day**
Bit: GO Schneider!
Brad: ShadowFox mobilized.
Leena: GunSniper combat-ready!
Jamie: Launching Raynos.
The Blitz Team zoids landed (except for the Raynos of course….) and waited. A large cloud of dust blew over the battlefield. When it cleared the purple Black Wing Liger was standing opposite the Blitz Team.
Judge: Area Scanned. Battlefield set up. The Blitz Team V.S. The NightShade. Battle-mode 0990. Ready… FIGHT!
The NightShade (Black Wing Liger) charged right for the GunSniper.
Leena: Weasel Unit Total Assault!
The NightShade jumped right over the attack and over the GunSniper. While Brad and Bit were avoiding Leena's attack, the Phantom opened fire and knocked the GunSniper out of the battle.
Phantom: * to the Wild Eagle* You're next.
The NightShade took to the air in a cloud of smoke.
Wild Eagle: Nice trick but it's useless against my speed!
The Raynos speeds up to blow the smoke away but as it approaches the smoke the NightShade flies out.
Phantom: Strike Laser Claw!
The Raynos hit the ground and Jamie was knocked out.
Phantom: Your turn, ShadowFox.
Brad: Come and get me!
The NightShade charged towards the ShadowFox, dodging its shots. The ShadowFox used its smoke discharger and the NightShade activated its Stealth shield.
Brad: Where'd he go?
Phantom: Behind you.
The ShadowFox turned around just in time to see the NightShade appear and open fire.
Phantom: * To Bit* Just you and me now…one-on-one.
Bit: …
The two ligers face each other. The Liger Zero runs right for the NightShade but it takes to the air. The NightShade lands behind the Schnieder and turns around.
Bit: Buster Slash!
The Schnieder leaps to attack but falls right through the NightShade as if it isn't even there.
Bit: WHAT?!?!?!
Phantom: Hologram….good bye…
The NightShade appears in front of the Schnieder and fires missiles at it. The Liger Zero goes down but not out.
Phantom: I have more missiles…you can give up of I can damage your zoid more, your call.
Bit: Alright…we give up….
Judge: Battle Over. The battle is over. The winner is… The Phantom!
Doc: we lost…*contacts Phantom* How much money do we owe you?
Phantom: Money? I never said I wanted anything for winning.
**That Night**
The Phantom stands on a cliff overlooking the Taros Base.
Phantom: *Thinks * they're good but they need much improvement if they're going to be ready for the approaching task… maybe I should take Doc up on his offer and join the Blitz Team…
*Crumble *
Phantom: ???
The Phantom looks down and sees that the piece of cliff he is standing on is falling apart. As he tries to move away the pieces of rock crumble and then they (and the Phantom) tumble down the side of the cliff.
*Crash*
