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…

The Geno Saurer roared at the Black Wing Liger. The Lion type zoid gave another of its own. Phantom opened a comm link.

Phantom: Renegade, I'm here to bring you in. You might as well just get out of your zoid and surrender.

Renegade: It won't be that easy, kid. I'm not even in that zoid. I'm controlling it from my fortress. If you want to get to me you'll have to get past my Genosaurer and through my fortress. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Phantom cut the comm link and readied for battle. Liger growled.

Phantom: What do you mean that we should just blow his fortress up? Where's the fun in that? Besides, he's probably already thought of that and has defenses against it.

The Black Wing Liger suddenly jumped into the air. The Genosaurer had just fired a charged particle beam.

Phantom: Woah. Close one. Good move, partner.

The liger roared again then fired some missiles. The Genosaurer shot them out of the air with pulse lasers. The Liger flew through the air to avoid pulse laser shots. The Genosaurer fired a claw and pulled the Black Wing Liger to the ground. It then electrocuted the zoid. It stopped after about a minute or two.

Phantom: *Recovering from the electrocution* Two can play at that game.

Phantom opened a panel on the Shock Glove and turned the power to max. He opened the cockpit and made a gun shape with his hand. He pointed it at the Genosaurer and fired. The Genosaurer was electrocuted and Phantom closed the Black Wing Liger's cockpit.

Phantom: That should teach him to try and shock me. Good thing I brought another power pack. That drained most of the power I had. Let's get 'em liger. Strike Laser Claw!

The liger jumped into the air and it's claws began to glow. The Genosaurer was struggling to get to its feet. It just avoided having its head sliced off and only lost the pulse lasers. It then swung around and smashed the liger with its tail.

The Flying Lion type zoid righted its self and stopped in the air. The Genosaurer had begun charging another Charged Particle blast. The Black Wing Liger rocketed over the zoid as it fired. It turned in the air and waited.

Phantom: Wait a second, We're still using the NightShade conversion armor! Let's see what it can do!

The NightShade activated its Smoke Discharges and Stealth Shield.

Renegade: Running scared?

Phantom: Just using one of my most effective weapons. The element of surprise.

The Geno Saured fired another charged particle blast. It hit nothing. The zoid kept firing blasts and the invisible NightShade got behind it. The smoke cleared and the Geno Saurer looked around.

Renegade: Must have got him…

Phantom: Surprise!

The NightShade flew from the air and attacked with a Strike Laser Claw. The liger jumped away as the Genosaurer exploded.

Phantom: Well that takes care of your Geno Saurer. I'm coming for you next, Renegade.

Phantom recorded a quick vid message ordering the Night Shade to be repaired and refitted with the standard Shadow Cat armor and to wait for more commands. He then jumped out of his zoid.

Phantom: Go back to the Whale King and get repaired, Liger. I'll call for you if I need you.

The liger growled and stood still. It blocked Phantom's path with one of its claws and growled again. Phantom smiled.

Phantom: Relax, buddy. I'll be fine. It's only one guy. How tough can he be? Besides, I am the Phantom.

The liger growled again then took to the air. It flew off in the direction of the Whale King and Phantom walked off towards Renegade's fortress.
