*CRASH *
Leena: What was that?
Bit: Let's go find out.
Bit and Leena walk outside the base and start coughing as a giant cloud of dust clears.
Phantom: Ow….*pushes rock off him and gets up * that hurt…a lot…
Leena: Phantom? Are you okay?
Phantom: Yeah, I'll be fine… *falls *
Bit: *Helps Phantom up * What were you doing out here anyway?
Phantom: Looking for something…
Leena: What?
Phantom: That's a secret…
Bit helps the Phantom inside and Leena follows.
** Lounge**
Phantom: *Sits on couch * Thanks for the help…
Bit: No problem…
Leena: That was a great battle today.
Phantom: You were the first team that lasted long enough to put up a fight…
*Silence *
Phantom: Well I'd better head home… *gets up *.ow…*falls back onto the couch*
Leena: Looks like you hurt that ankle… here let me take a look at it.
Leena sits on the table and pulls off the Phantom's boot.
Leena: Hmmm…looks like it should be better within a day or two…. But now you're in no condition to go anywhere.
Phantom: But….
Leena: Don't argue, you're staying here overnight. I'll go fix up the guestroom. Bit, help the Phantom to the guestroom.
Leena walks out of the room and Bit and Phantom stare after her in disbelief.
Phantom: *pulls on boot * Is she like this all the time?
Bit: *Helps Phantom up * No…sometimes she's worse….
** Next Day**
Brad: What was with all the noise last night?
Bit: There was a rockslide last night. The Phantom was caught in it and he hurt his ankle. Leena and me helped him, he's in the guestroom now….
Jamie: What was the Phantom doing around here anyway?
Leena: He said he was looking for something but wouldn't tell us what.
Just then the Phantom walked into the dining room but his stealth shield was on so no one saw him. He pulled out a chair and sat down. The Blitz Team stared at the chair that seemed to move by its self.
Phantom:???….oh yeah *turns off stealth shield *
The Blitz Team falls over when the Phantom appears.
Phantom: Sorry about that … forgot to turn off the stealth shield….
Leena: Well it seems like your ankle is better.
Phantom: Yeah, it still hurts a little though….well I should get back to base …thanks for the hospitality…
The Phantom gets up to leave and….
Doc: WAIT! *Runs into room *
Phantom: What?
Doc: I wanted to ask you to join the Blitz Team.
Phantom: You want me to join the Blitz Team?
Doc: Yes.
Phantom: What about you guys?
Brad: Fine with me.
Jamie: I think it's a good idea.
Leena: Me too.
Bit: So are you joining the team?
Phantom: Well since it's okay with everyone…yes. I'll join the Blitz Team.
Doc: GREAT!
Phantom: I'm off to deal with the paperwork. I'll be back tomorrow morning.
The Phantom left the base with a smile. Everything was going according to plan….
As he walked past the cliff he had fallen down the previous night, the Phantom pressed a red button on his watch. He waited and soon a cloud of dust was approaching. Just as the Gustav pulled up, a small rock fell from the top of the cliff and hit the Phantom right on the head…
Phantom: ow! Is this cliff out to get me or something? * Jumps into Gustav and drives off *
** That Night**
The Phantom walks into a bar and sits in the shadows. Two people at a nearby table beckon for him to come over. The Phantom walks over and sits on a chair facing the two people.
Man: Did you succeed?
Phantom: Yes…I joined the Blitz Team. Now the work starts.
Woman: *Flicks turquoise hair out of face *Just make sure they're ready.
Phantom: Don't worry…I will.
The Phantom gets up and leaves. After a few minutes the man and woman in shadow get up and leave. It was Pierce and Stoler.
The Phantom stood on the roof of the bar watching Pierce and Stoler leave. Pierce hopped onto her motorcycle and rode off. Stoler walked up the ramp into his Whale King. As soon as the Whale King was in the air the Phantom turned off his stealth shield and jumped off the roof. He walked over to his Gustav and drove off.
