ZOIDS
Darkness on the Battlefield; Enter the Phantom
By: Spectral
CHAPTER 17
Note: I still own the Phantom and Black Wing Liger but zoids and its characters are not mine…
Cassandra waited. The previous night she had discovered the Phantom's identity. Since she had already made him promise to answer some questions for her, she was going to find out if she was right.
*Knock Knock*
She got up and crossed the room She opened the door expecting to see Phantom, but no one was there. She turned around, and just as she expected, Phantom was sitting at the table. She took a seat opposite him.
Cassandra: You don't have to answer all the questions I'm going to ask you. And no one else knows about this but us…
Phantom: I know…I've already checked for bugs and spies.
Cassandra: Well then, how old are you?
Phantom: Nineteen.
Cassandra: Why did you join the Blitz Team?
Phantom: I'm on a mission and it requires their help.
Cassandra: And that mission would be…
Phantom: Classified.
Cassandra: Okay… do you have any relatives?
Phantom: No…my family's been gone for a long time…
Cassandra: … *a few minutes later* For how long have you been "The Phantom"
Phantom: For about seven years now…
Cassandra: Do you have a name, besides "Phantom"?
Phantom: Yes, but I won't tell you wha—
Cassandra: I already know, Tom.
Phantom looked up. Cassandra looked quite serious.
Phantom: So you've figured it out…
Cassandra: I saw you at the Graveyard last night… don't worry, I haven't told anyone.
Phantom: And you won't…
Cassandra: I won't tell anyone if you take me on a date.
Phantom: A date?
Cassandra: Yes, A date. Pick me up tomorrow at seven and wear something nice.
Phantom got up and left. He was still shocked when he got back to the Taros Base. He went to the lounge and sat down next to Leena and Bit who were fighting over the remote.
Bit: * loses fight*…Hi, Phantom. What's up?
Phantom: Well, I have a date tomorrow night…
Bit & Leena: WHAT?!?!
Leena: With who?
Bit: It's that Cassandra, isn't it?
Phantom:…
Bit and Leena continued to annoy Phantom until he disappeared in a smoke screen.
**Next Night 6:40 PM**
Jamie, Brad, and Doc: WHAT?!
Jamie: With who?
Bit: It's that Cassandra girl.
Leena: Shhhhh… here he comes now.
The Blitz Team was shocked. The Phantom that walked into the room was not the Phantom they knew. Instead of his usual black pilot's suit, Phantom was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a black T-shirt. For once he didn't have his mask on. Instead he had on a pair of black sunglasses that hid his eyes.
Leena: Woah…
Bit:…
Phantom: What?
The Blitz Team continued to stare and Phantom just left. He hopped into a jeep and drove off.
**Cassandra's Room 6:50 PM**
Cassandra was already dressed in her red shirt and black jeans. She was talking with her friend Emma on the phone.
Emma: How did you get the Phantom to take you on a date?
Cassandra: I have my ways… I have to go. He's here.
Emma: I want details afterwards…
Cassandra: Okay, Bye!
Cassandra hung up the phone just as Phantom knocked on the door. She rushed over, grabbed her coat and purse and opened the door.
Phantom: woah…
Cassandra: Let's go, Tom.
Tom (Phantom): Alright…
Cassandra and Tom jump into the jeep and drive off.
**Taros Base**
Bit: *Yawn* I'm bored…
Leena: Me too…
Bit and Leena are just sitting in the lounge bored.
Leena: Hmmm *evil smile* Why don't we go spy on Phantom?
Bit: But we don't know where he is.
Leena: No…but Dad does.
Bit: Then let's go.
After prying Phantom's location out of Doc, Bit and Leena jump into a jeep. They head towards the Movie Theater.
Next Time:
Danger for Bit and Leena; Phantom's date
Ready…FIGHT!
