ZOIDS
Darkness on the Battlefield; Enter the Phantom
By: Spectral
CHAPTER 10
NOTE: I now own Zoids!…..Okay I don't…but I WILL! *Evil Laughter *
…Okay so I'll never own Zoids or its characters but Phantom and the Black Wing Liger are mine. * Hops into shield liger and runs off *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Phantom limped back to the Taros base. On the way he saw the Liger Zero and Gun Sniper out side the base. Suddenly the liger jumped. It looked like it was going to land on the Phantom, but it didn't. The Phantom stood between the liger's claws, he then looked up at the Gun Sniper.
Leena: Weasel Unit Total Assault!
The Liger took off and the Phantom watched. He turned around and saw the attack coming.
Phantom: This will also be painful…
BOOM
The explosion sent Phantom flying into the air. He landed with a crash onto a nearby cliff. He rubbed his head and sat up.
Phantom: Ouch…it's a good thing I landed on this cliff…wait a second…CLIFF?!?!
*Crumble *
The Phantom looked down to see the cliff crumbling once again. The last of the rocks broke away and then they and the Phantom tumbled down the cliff. (Again!)
Bit: What was that?
Leena: I think it was Phantom….
Bit: We should go help who ever that was…
The Liger and GunSniper trot over to the rocks and the cockpits open. Leena and Bit walk over to the rocks and start digging. Suddenly a light comes from inside the rocks.
BOOM!
The Phantom gets up. The glove on his right hand is glowing bright white and sparking. Bit and Leena get up and walk over.
Bit: Are you okay?
Phantom: I'm okay… but you won't be…
Leena: What is that thing on your hand?
Phantom: This is my Shock Glove. It's capable of delivering a nasty electrical shock…
The Phantom took a step towards Bit and Leena and raised his sparking glove. Bit and Leena exchanged nervous glances and then ran. The Phantom chased after them.
Brad: Well that's new…
Jamie: What?
Brad: The Phantom is chasing Bit and Leena…. apparently they blew him sky high during their little fight…
Jamie: Oh…
**That Night**
A young girl was sitting at a table in a bar. She had just lost a zoid battle and her zoid was too damaged to move. She had called a tow Gustav to come and pick her up.
She sat at her table and waited. She didn't have much else to do… As she waited a man walked up.
Bald Guy: Hey girlie….what are you doing here all by yourself?
Girl: Get lost creep.
Bald Guy: I don't think so, sweetie.
The bald guy grabbed the girl's arm and lifted her off her chair. The girl tried to break free but couldn't.
???: Leave the girl alone.
The entire bar went silent. Everyone got up and quietly filed out of the bar. The only people left were the bald guy, the girl, the bartender, and the Phantom.
Bald Guy: What did you just say?
The Phantom set his drink down on the table and got up. He walked right over to the bald guy.
Phantom: I said leave the girl alone.
Bald Guy: Why don't you make me? * Shoves Phantom*
Phantom: You must be new around here.
** Outside**
The bald man goes crashing through a window. He hits the ground with a dull thud. He has a black eye and his nose id bleeding.
Phantom walks outside and picks the guy up off the ground by the front of his shirt.
Bald Guy: I give up just let me go!
Phantom throws the guy to the ground. The Bald Guy gets up and scrambles away. The Phantom walks back inside and every one else follows. The people were used to this kind of thing. Ever since the Phantom showed up anyone stupid enough to cause trouble had been beaten up and scared off.
The Phantom walked over to the girl's table and picked up a chair.
Phantom: Are you okay?
Girl: Yeah….thanks to you. Who are you anyway?
Phantom: I'm the Phantom.
Girl:!!!
Phantom: What are you doing out here anyway?
Girl: I'm waiting for the tow Gustav that just pulled up…thanks again for the help!
The girl gets up and leaves. The Phantom returns to his table and waits. A few minutes later a motorcycle roars up to the bar. As Pierce jumps off her bike a Whale King lands. Stoler walks down the main ramp and follows Pierce into the bar.
They spot the Phantom and walk over. After they take their seats the Phantom looks up.
Pierce: I saw your battle against the Phuma Team the other day. Good job.
Phantom: Why did you call me out here?
Stoler: Just checking on things…
Phantom:?
Stoler: What progress have you made since we last spoke?
Phantom: Not much but tomorrow I'm going to start work on the zoids. They're getting a complete over-haul.
Pierce: The Blitz Team should consider themselves lucky. Not many people get the honor of having their zoids repaired by the legendary Phantom.
Phantom: If that's all you wanted I have to get back to base…
The Phantom gets up and leaves. Pierce and Stoler just look at one another.
**Next Day**
Phantom: All right let's go!
Bit: What? Where?
Phantom: We're taking the zoids in for a complete repair job.
Jamie: But we can't afford that right now.
Phantom: It won't cost a thing. We're going to my base.
Leena: And just who is going to be doing these repairs?
Phantom: I am of course.
Doc: WHAT?!?! FREE REPAIRS FROM THE PHANTOM!?! LOAD UP THE HOVER-CARGO, TEAM!
After the hover-cargo was all loaded up they were on their way to the Phantom's base. The Phantom was driving while everyone else was just waiting till they got to the base.
A short while later they pulled up to a zoid junkyard. Phantom pressed a yellow button on his wrist and a door opened. He drove the hover-cargo inside and it stopped in a huge underground hanger. The Blitz Team exited the snail type transport zoid and Phantom unloaded the zoids.
Bit: Nice place you got here?
Leena: It's big…
Brad: And loaded with zoids!
Near the back of the huge hanger is a mountain of all kinds of zoids.
Phantom: There's a living room where you can hang out through that green door.
The Blitz Team leaves the hanger and the Phantom starts work on the zoids.
The Bit and Leena were very excited when they stepped into the Phantom's living room. It had a huge TV, a giant shelf full of tapes of old zoid battles, and he even had his own "Virtual Zoids Challenge" machine.
Bit: Woah…
Brad: Wonder where I can get some coffee…
Jamie: Right over there… * Points to kitchen *
Brad goes off to get some coffee while Bit and Leena try their luck against each other in the "Virtual Zoids Challenge". Jamie jumped onto the couch and turns on the television. Doc is looking at a shelf full of Zoid Models.
**Hours Later**
Doc: It's getting late, Bit go see how Phantom's doing.
Bit: Oh all right…
Bit walks back into the hanger and looks around.
Bit: Phantom?
The Phantom pops out from behind the Raynos and walks over.
Phantom: What?
Bit: Doc wants to know how much longer the repairs are going to take.
Phantom: They'll probably take all night… there are some rooms you guys can stay the night in over there…*points to the left*
Bit: All right I'll go tell everyone else…
Bit goes and tells everyone what Phantom said.
Leena: All night?!?!
Doc: Don't worry, it'll be worth it. It's incredibly rare for the Phantom to repair any zoids other than his own. The zoids he does repair end up better than they were right of the assembly line.
Brad: Well if he can make the Shadow Fox any better then it'll be worth the time.
**Late that Night**
Phantom: There they're finally done. That was a lot of work…
Bit: The zoids look better than new.
Phantom: Well they should.
After everyone was loaded back onto the hover-cargo the Blitz Team went back to the Taros Base.
**Meanwhile outside the Phantom's Base**
Girl: Hmmm… so I've found the Phantom's base. Now how do I get in?
The girl starts poking around but can't find a way in.
Girl: This may take awhile…
**Later that day at the Taros base**
Leena: BIT GET BACK HERE! THAT'S MY DOUNUT!
Bit: I don't see your name on it!
Leena chases after Bit and throws a metal pipe at him. Bit dives and the pipe goes over Bit. Phantom walks down the hall.
Phantom: Hey guys, the next battle's been appointed. We're up against the Macurtis Te….*POW*
The lead pipe hits the Phantom in the face and knocks him over.
Phantom: Ow…why me?
Leena: Oops sorry…
