ZOIDS

Darkness on the Battlefield; Enter the Phantom

By: Spectral

CHAPTER 22

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

Cassandra sat crying. Tom had just finished telling her about his past. It was the most depressing thing she had ever heard. Tom had kept a strait face the entire time. Though his expression didn't change, Cassandra could see the pain in his eyes.

Tom: Cassandra, I need you to do something for me.

Cassandra: *Wipes eyes* What?

Tom: *Pulls out a disk* If anything happens to me I want you to give this disk to the Blitz Team. It's everything I just told you.

Cassandra: Alright. *Takes disk*

*Knock Knock*

Phantom pulled on his mask and walked over to the door. He opened it. Bit and Leena were on the other side.

Bit: Hope we didn't interrupt anything.

Phantom: *Death Glare*

Leena: Well anyway… the whole team is gathering in out room. We're going to have some fun. (NOT THAT KIND OF FUN)

Phantom: Well, I what do ya think?

Cassandra: Let's go.

Cassandra and Phantom got up and followed Bit and Leena. Brad, Naomi, Leon, Pierce, and Jamie were already there.

Brad: So what are we doing?

Leena and Bit: Karaoke! (No I will NOT type the songs. Imagine them.)

Bit rolled out the machine.

Leena: So, who's up first?

Pierce: Jamie and me!

Pierce and Jamie got up and picked up microphones. A song rolled up; it was The Hamster Dance! (AHHHHHHHHHHHH!)

Jamie and Pierce finished their song and sat down. Everyone was clapping.

Bit: Why don't you go up now, Cassandra?

Cassandra: I'd love to.

Cassandra walked up to the machine. The song that rolled up was…Shania Twain's (I'm sorry but I really don't know how to spell her name) That Don't Impress Me Much.

Cassandra finished her song and sat down next to Phantom.

Leena: You're up, Phantom!

Phantom: Um…all right…

Phantom got up and picked up a microphone. The song that popped up was… Phantom; Warrior of Shadow.

Phantom: When did they write a song about me and why wasn't I informed of it?

Bit: Who knows…

Phantom finished his song and sat down next to Cassandra. Everyone quickly grew tired of karaoke. They then moved to Truth or Dare.

Leena: Alright, Bit, truth or dare?

Bit: Dare.

Leena: Hmmm… I dare you to try to take off Phantom's mask.

Bit: …

Bit crawled over to Phantom and reached for his mask. One second later he was back at seat, except he was upside down.

Bit flipped himself back over.

Bit: Phantom, Truth or Dare?

Phantom: Truth.

Bit: All right, are you in love with Cassandra?

Phantom looked over at Cassandra. The both of them were blushing. Everyone else leaned forward. Phantom turned back to everyone else.

Phantom: Yes.

*Silence*

The Blitz Team continued to have fun late into the night. It was about two AM when everyone decided to leave.

**Time 4:57 AM**

Phantom and Pierce stood in the middle of nowhere, waiting. A Whale King descended. Out stepped Stoller. He didn't look happy.

Stoller: It's time.

Pierce: No…

Phantom: Once everyone wakes up, we can tell them.

The three warriors nodded. They all proceeded to the hotel.

**Next Day**

Everyone was gathered on the boardroom. Phantom had managed to acquire the room for the day. Phantom, Stoller, and Pierce stood at the front of the room.

Phantom: Many years ago, a meteorite fell to Zi. It contained some sort of strange zoid. It was named Hydra. This was no normal zoid. It had a mind of its own. It began destroying everything. It was stopped but only after millions of lives were lost. Its shattered parts were buried deep underground.

Stoller: The BackDraft Group has somehow uncovered this zoid. They have been rebuilding it and we have been working against them. We knew that they would finish it eventually and needed a plan. We turned to the Phantom for help.

Phantom: I came up with a plan. We would use the Ultimate X's to defeat it. I only found three of them. The Berserk Fury, The Liger Zero, and The Black Wing Liger. I've already put the Fury out of commission so it will just be the two ligers.
Pierce: We are asking that you, Blitz and Fleugal Teams, help us stop this Hydra before it can repeat history.

Phantom: If possible we would also like the Champ Team's assistance. Cassandra, I would like your help, but the rest of the ZBC must not know of this.

Cassandra: Okay.

Bit: We're in too.

Leon: We will help as well.

Harry: I'll fight anything to protect my Leena!

Phantom: Who let you in?

Harry: The King let himself in.

Phantom: Anyway… There is no guarantee that ANY of us will make it out alive, but this thing must be stopped at all costs.
