ZOIDS

Darkness on the Battlefield; Enter the Phantom

By: Spectral

CHAPTER 18

Note: I still own the Phantom and Black Wing Liger but zoids and its characters are not mine…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tom and Cassandra pulled up to the Movie Theater. Tom gets out of the jeep then opens the door for Cassandra. They walk into the theater as bit and Leena pull up. They quietly follow.

**In the theater**

Tom and Cassandra take their seats and Bit and Leena sneak in behind them. They sit two seats behind them.

***FUNNY MOVIE***

The movie ends and Cassandra and Tom leave the theater laughing. Bit and Leena follow silently.

**On the way back to the jeep**

Just as Tom and Cassandra reach section ZZZ floor 26, four low-life punks step out of the shadows and surround Cassandra and Tom.

Punk1: Hand over all your money and we might not hurt you.

Cassandra&Tom: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Punk2: What's so funny? *Pulls out a knife*

Punk3: Let's teach them a lesson. *Pulls out a gun*

FemalePunk: Yeah.

Cassandra and Tom suddenly look very serious. Bit and Leena notice what is about to happen and duck behind a car.

POW

With one punch the first punk goes down. The one with the knife lunges at Tom, who quickly dodges. Tom kicks the knife away then sends the guy fling with another kick. The last punk fumbles with the gun as Tom flings a ninja star at him. It knocks the gun out of his hands. The guy looks up to see Cassandra fling the unconscious female punk at him.

Tom: Well… That was fun.

Cassandra: Where to next?

Tom: Let's go get some ice cream.

Tom and Cassandra get into the jeep and drive off. Bit and Leena follow.

**Ice Cream Parlor**

Tom and Cassandra walk in and go to the counter. They place their order and wait. About three minutes later they take their ice cream and sit down. Bit and Leena walk in and sit near them.

Leena: *whispers* Bit go buy me an ice cream.

Bit goes to buy Leena an ice cream as Tom and Cassandra talk about things that happened to them in the past.

Tom: You should have seen them. They looked like they'd seen a ghost or something!

Cassandra: HAHAHA!

Tom: And then, at the hotel, Doc sent me to go find Brad. I went up to his room and knocked. No answer. I opened the door and no one was there. I went to Naomi's room and you won't believe what I saw.

Cassandra: What?

Tom: Well, just as I expected Naomi and Brad were going at it, but the third person was a real shock. It was Leon. He looked like he was just about to join in.

Cassandra: What happened next?

Tom: I don't think they noticed me, but I slowly back away from the room and left the hotel.

Cassandra: Hmmmm…interesting… Now I have a question.

Tom: What?

Cassandra: What is this "Evil Cliff" I hear about?

**Later**

Cassandra and Tom get up and leave. They get into the jeep and drive off. Bit and Leena rush after them.

Tom and Cassandra arrive at the hotel, and Tom walks Cassandra back to her room. Leena and Bit hide in the bushes.

Cassandra: That was fun. We should do that more often.

Tom: Good idea. Good night…

Cassandra: Where do you think you're going? The night isn't over yet. * Pulls Tom inside and closes the door*

Bit: Woah…

Leena: We should get back to base.

Bit: Yeah…

Bit and Leena scramble back to base quickly.

**Next Day**

The Blitz Team is just sitting down to breakfast as Phantom walks in wearing his usual pilot's suit and mask.

Bit: So, Phantom, how'd the date go?

Leena: Yeah, tell us.

Phantom walked over to Bit and Leena while his glove began to spark. He shocked the both of them and then took his seat.

Bit: *climbs off floor* Why'd you do that?

Phantom: You two should not have been following us last night.

Leena: How'd you know?

Phantom: You're not very good at sneaking around.

**Later**

Judge: Area Scanned. Battlefield set-up. The Blitz Team VS The Champ Team. Battle-mode 0990. Ready…FIGHT!

Three Iron Kongs opened fire. The Shadow Fox, Raynos, and Fireball avoided every shot.

Phantom: Should I just end this now, or do you want to?

Wild Eagle: We'll handle it.

The Raynos flew over the Iron Kongs at tops speed. The Sonic Boom knocked the zoids over. The Shadow Fox rushed forward and opened fire.

Judge: Battle over. Battle over. The winner is…The Blitz Team!

Phantom: That was boring…

**Taros Base**

Brad, Jamie, and Phantom were on the bridge when Doc walked in.

Doc: Good news guys! We have been challenged to a battle by an S Class team!

Phantom: Finally, an interesting battle…

Phantom left the Bridge and went to check on the zoids. When Phantom got to the hanger, he heard a strange noise. Phantom looked around and saw nothing. The noises were coming from the Liger Zero. Phantom walked over and tripped.

Phantom got up and looked down. He picked up Bit's shirt and looked at the rest of the floor. Leena's clothes were nearby. A little farther away were Bit's pants and boxers. Phantom looked up at the Liger. Liger turned its head and gave Phantom a look that said, "Get away while you still can".

Phantom nodded then folded up Bit and Leena's clothes. He then went to his room. On his desk was a mysterious green envelope.

Phantom: What could this be?

Phantom opened the envelope and a computer disk fell out. He picked it up and examined it closely. There was a strange mark on it that made Phantom drop the disk in shock. It was the mark of the Shadow Stalker Team.

Phantom walked over to the window and watched a retreating Mogla disappear in a cloud of smoke.
