Zoids

Origin of The Phantom

By, Spectral

Notes:

I don't own zoids or its characters but I do own Phantom and all related topics… This fic explains the Phantom's dark past and leads right up to Chapter one of Darkness on The Battlefield; Enter the Phantom, another one of my stories. Parts of this fic may not make sense if you didn't read at least part of my other fic…

Robbie and Steph were standing on the corner of a busy city street. Phantom was on top of the building on that corner.

Phantom: *Over Radio* What are we doing this far away from base?

Steph: There's a gang running amok in this town. The Police can't stop them.

Phantom: And you want the Phantom to step in and turn things around?

Robbie: Exactly.

Steph: Here they come. Get ready, Tom.

Phantom ran over to the Black Wing Liger and jumped inside. The large zoid roared and turned on its stealth shield.

Four Sinkers flew into the city and started shooing at stores. They flew through the city until they came to a police barricade.

Police: Stop!

SinkerPilot1: You cops can't stop us!

The cops took cover as the Sinkers opened fire.

???: Why don't you try taking me on?!

The Sinkers all turned. The Black Wing Liger was right behind them. It roared and the Sinker Pilots started laughing.

Pilot2: This little warrior thinks he can take us on!

Pilot3: No warrior has ever beaten the Sand Stingray Gang!

Phantom: I'm no normal warrior. I'm the Phantom!

The Black Wing Liger jumped into the air.

Phantom: Strike Laser Claw!

Two Sinkers down. The others tried to open fire but the Phantom beat them to it. Missiles rained down from the sky and blew the Sinkers to the ground. The Police pulled the Sand StingRay's out of their Sinkers and the Phantom jumped out of the Black Wing Liger. The Ultimate X roared and jumped into the air. Reporters rushed over to the Phantom.

Reporter1: Who are you?

Reporter2: That was amazing!

Reporter3: Where'd you come from?
Reporter4: Are you going after the rest of the gang?

Phantom: HOLD IT! ONE QUESTION AT A TIME!

The reporters were instantly silenced. Phantom just seemed to scared people around him.

Phantom: Thank you. I am the Phantom, that wasn't a question but thanks for the compliment, I am a warrior of the Shadows, and I just might do that.

Phantom pushed his way through the reporters and over to Robbie and Steph. The three of them walked into a nearby diner. They didn't know that a member of the Sand Stingray Gang was behind a building, watching what was going on.

He quickly rushed back to base. After he had informed the leader of the gang, the gang set off for the city.

**Diner**

Phantom: That was fun. Liger needed to see some battle anyway.

**Beep Beep**

Phantom: Armed robbery. Be right back.

Phantom took of down the street. He returned a few minutes later to find the restaurant in shambles.

Phantom: What happened here?

Waitress: The Sand Stingray Gang busted in. They took your friends and said to give you this.

The Waitress gave Phantom a slip of paper.

*Paper*

Phantom,

If you want to see your friends again

You'll come to our base and try to take us on.

Come alone. Don't bring your zoid.

The Sand Stingrays

*End Paper*

Phantom was instantly gone. He would make the Sand Stingray Gang pay. They were going to wish they never met the Phantom.
