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

The Blitz, Fleugal, and Champ Teams sat at a large table in the Phantom's Base. Cassandra, Phantom, Pierce, and Stoller were up at a large computer screen. They were informing every one of the Hydra's abilities.

Phantom: The Hydra has four heads. Each is equipped with a Charged Particle Cannon. It also has two long-range charged particle guns.

Leena: And Just how are we supposed to stop this thing?

Phantom: All right. Naomi, you will stay back with the Hover-Cargo and try to take out those cannons with long-range fire. Leena, Stoller, and Cassandra will try to distract it with heavy fire. Harry, Benjamin, and Sabastian will stay back and cover Naomi and the Hover-Cargo. Jamie and Pierce will provide Ariel support. Brad, Bit, Leon, and myself will engage the Hydra in close-range combat. Bit, use the Schnieder.

Bit: Why don't I use the Panzer?

Phantom: We need the Liger mobile, besides those hybrid cannons wouldn't put a dent in the Hydra's armor.


Stoller: Alright, we have three days to prepare before the Hydra is ready to launch. Make them count.

Jamie: How will we know where it will strike?

Phantom: After Hydra is brought online it will destroy the BackDraft base. It will then head straight for the nearest ZBC Ultrasaurus. I have set up a fake one in the desert. We'll wait for it there.

**Next Day**

Everyone was hard at work. It was two days until the battle. Phantom typing at a computer when Cassandra walked up.

Cassandra: What's wrong?

Phantom: Nothing.

Cassandra: Don't give me that. I know when something's wrong.

Phantom: I'm just worried. This thing could kill every last one of us. I don't want anything to happen to you guys, you especially.

Cassandra: I'm touched but, I can take care of myself, and so can the others. You don't have to worry.

Phantom: Why doesn't that make me feel better?

**Next Day**

Phantom: That's it. All we can do now is wait. Unfortunately these may be our last hours together. Spend them well.

Phantom and Cassandra sank into the Shadows. Everyone else went on their way.

**Next Day**

Everyone was in position. They waited. Phantom and The NightShade were hiding in the Ultrasaurus hologram. Everyone else waited nervously.

Phantom: Here it comes. Ten…Nine…Eight…Seven…Six…Five…Four…Three…Two…
