ZOIDS
Darkness on the Battlefield; Enter the Phantom
By: Spectral
CHAPTER 24
Note: I don't own ZOIDS or its characters. Phantom and The Black Wing Liger are my own created characters.
Oh and I thought I might mention this…I got my first flame. I must thank DigiMatt, I was getting cold.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Phantom: ONE!
It rose over the horizon. A hideous four-headed, green, and black monster. It had fiery orange eyes that were instantly fixed upon the Ultrasaurus. It lumbered forward on four legs and its tail dragged behind it. It kept one head facing the Ultrasaurus while the other three constantly looked around.
The Hydra pointed its two charged particle guns at the Ultrasaurus and fired. The hologram faded and many NightShades charged forward. The Hydra's heads whipped around franticly as it shot at the holograms.
BOOM
Leena and Naomi had opened fire. The Shadow Fox, Red Blade Liger, Schieder, Elephandor, and Helcat charged forward. The Storm Sworder and Raynos flew over head and opened fire. The Hydra was still busy with the Holograms as everything began attacking. It shot the last hologram away and the real NightShade attacked with a strike laser claw.
Bit: Seven-Blade Attack!
Leon: Strike Blade Attack!
Brad: Strike Laser Claw!
The blade attacks barely scratched the Hydra. It turned one head to face each of the offending zoids. Each head swept down fast than the Jager and picked up a zoid. It then flung them all in different directions. The HelCat and Elephandor opened fire and the two GunSnipers joined in. The Storm Sworder dove down and was smashed away. It collided with the mountain and fell to the ground.
Wild Eagle: You'll pay for that!
The Raynos dove and opened fire. The Hydra caught it and began to rip the Raynos's wings off. It was about to clamp down on the zoid's head when the NightShade smashed into the Hydra's back. The Helcat opened fire as the NightShade pushed the damaged Raynos away.
Naomi and Leena opened fire again. One of the Hydra's heads turned and fired its charged particle cannon.
BOOM
Bit: LEENA!
Brad: NAOMI!
Leena: We're okay, but our computers are frozen…
Naomi: Just stay alive.
The NightShade's jaws were clenched around one of the Hydra's heads while the other three battled with the other zoids. The HelCat was flung into the air as the Shadow Fox was stomped on. The Elaphandor charged forward and knocked the Hydra back. The Red Blade Liger pulled the Shadow Fox back as the Elaphandor opened fire.
The Hydra turned and clamped two sets of jaws onto the Elaphandor. It then fired both charged particle cannons and the Elaphandor fell to the ground. The Schieder flew forwards and slashed at the Hydra. It just smashed the Ultimate X away. The NightShade dove from the air.
Phantom: STRIKE LASER CLAW!
The claw attack hit three of the Hydra's heads but seemed to do nothing more than irritate the monster. All four of the Hydra's heads began charging their Charged Particle Cannons.
Doc: GET OUT OF HERE NOW! IT'S GOING TO FIRE FOUR CHARGED PARTICLE CANNONS!
All of the zoids turned and started running. Everyone knew they had no chance of getting away but they were still going to try. The NightShade suddenly stopped. It turned around and roared. The zoid opened its wings and took to the air.
Bit: Phantom, What do you think you're doing?
Phantom: I know exactly what I'm doing, I'm ending this now.
Cassandra: Don't do it!
Leon: Come back!
Phantom closed all the Comm-links except Cassandra's.
Phantom: Good bye…
Cassandra: *Starts crying* Don't do it, Tom…
Phantom closed the last Comm link and turned back to the Hydra.
Phantom: Ready Liger?
The liger roared.
Phantom: STRIKE LASER CLAW!
The NightShade flew into the charging particles and attacked.
BOOM!!!!!
Everyone was blinded by light. They were flung around by the explosion. When they could see and move they got out of their zoids and ran over to the wreckage. The Hydra had been annihilated and there was no sign of the NightShade. Cassandra began digging through rubble. She moved one metal plate and picked something up off the ground. It was Phantom's ripped and bloodstained mask.
Cassandra started crying again and dropped to her knees.
A ZBC Whale King began to lower…
Everyone one was given medical attention and their zoids were repaired. Cassandra had filed her report but left out the details about Phantom. She hadn't spoken a word since she found the mask. She gave Blitz Team the disk. They watched the disk and were shocked. They never knew that Tom had such a sad past.
After losing everyone he ever cared about, The Phantom had sacrificed himself to save his friends. He was the only loss that day. The Phantom may be dead but the legend will live on forever.

Well that's it. I must know thank the people who reviewed my fic. (And the one flamer.)
Well many people have reviewed my story but I got the most reviews from BecBet and Cold Fire Phoenix. Both gave funny and helpful reviews. I always have waited for their reviews and will continue to do so for other stories. The both of them are very talented writers and, they have both written very good fics. I've read and reviewed them. Why don't you all go read them now?
Oh and before I go… I have two other fics. Another here in the Zoids Section, Origin of the Phantom, and one over in the Medabots section, Storm Shadow.
Now I must go…MONGOOSE AWAY!
