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…+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
**Sand Sting Ray Base Control Room**
Both Robbie and Steph were chained to chairs. There were two armed guards at the door and the guy that appeared to be the leader was sitting in a large chair. He was watching the monitors on the console next to him.
Steph: You're gonna get pounded when Phantom gets here!
Leader: You might not live long enough to see that.
RandomSSGguy: Sir, we have a visitor.
The SSG leader turned around and turned on a monitor. The Phantom was standing right outside the base. He looked up at the camera and flung a ninja star at it.
**Entrance**
Phantom blew the door right into oblivion. Two guards awaited him. The raised their guns and opened fire. Phantom put up his energy shield and waited. The guards ran out of ammo and Phantom lowered the shield. The guards turned to run but wished they didn't.
After leaving the guards bleeding on the floor, Phantom continued through the base. Anyone that got in his way was left wishing they were never born.
**Control Room**
The leader was watching everything happen on the monitors. He wasn't happy.
Leader: What is he?
Robbie: He is the Phantom.
Steph: You shouldn't have made him angry…
Leader: RRRRRR… hmmm looks like I'll just have to change the rules of the game…
BANG SMASH
The door of the room started shaking. The guards turned and pointed their guns at the door.
BAM!
The door was knocked right over. No one was on the other side. The guards were confused. They lowered their guns and looked over at the leader.
Leader: Where'd he go?
Phantom: Right Here.
Guards started going down. A few guards shot at the empty space but nothing happened. Soon all the guards were out cold. Suddenly Steph and Robbie were free. The Leader pulled his gun out and looked around. Phantom turned off his Stealth Shield and waited.
The SSG leader pointed his gun at Robbie and Steph.
Leader: Move and I kill them.
Phantom: Leave them alone. I'm the one you want.
The icy tone in Phantom's voice seemed to freeze the blood in the veins of everyone in the room. The Leader was incredibly worried. His plan wasn't working.
Neither noticed the guard struggling to get up. He stood up and pulled his gun. He pointed it right at Phantom and was about to pull the trigger when Robbie noticed him.
Robbie: LOOK OUT!
BANG
Right before the trigger was pulled, Robbie rushed forward and knocked his friend out of the way. He took the bullet and fell to the ground, dead. Steph screamed and the guard moved to fire another shot. He was out of ammo.
The look that Phantom gave the guard could have caused the man to burst into flames. After Phantom was done beating the guard to a bloody pulp, he turned to the SSG leader. The leader looked around, panicking. He noticed Steph and pointed his gun at the traumatized girl.
Leader: Stay back or I kill her.
Phantom:…
Phantom seemed to be radiating anger. Steph looked over at her friend and noticed the tears seeping through the fabric of Phantom's mask. The dark warrior didn't move an inch and the leader relaxed.
Leader: Turn around and I'll send the girl over.
Phantom turned around and the SSG leader shoved Steph forward. She slowly walked over to Phantom.
BAM
The girl fell to the ground, a bullet hole in her back. Phantom turned around and fell to his knees. He looked at the dead body of his friend as the SSG leader laughed evilly. He pointed his gun directly at Phantom's head.
The shock wore off and Phantom got to his feet. The radiating anger that that had ceased after the attack on the guard came back, stronger than ever.
Phantom: You shouldn't have killed her…
Leader: *Scared out of his mind* And why is that?
Phantom: Because now I have nothing left to lose… LIGER!
The Black Wing Liger smashed through the wall. Phantom jumped into the cockpit and the zoid let out a deafening roar. The SSG leader looked around for an escape route and found nothing. The large zoid raised a claw and used it to crush the vile excuse for a human being that was the leader of the Sand Stingray Gang.
**Later**
The police arrived. They wanted to question Phantom but were too scared to go near him. The warrior of shadow was just staring at what was left of the base.
The police had reviewed the security tapes and were shocked beyond belief. Eventually, after seeing the security tapes, a police officer worked up enough courage to try to comfort Phantom. No matter what she did the officer couldn't get a response from Phantom. The Black Wing Liger walked over to its pilot and growled.
Phantom turned around and jumped into the cockpit. The zoid took to the air and turned on its stealth shield. The Police and Emergency Personnel watched it disappear.
