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…+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Three Shield Ligers and a Gojulas stood in a valley battlefield. It was about 11PM and almost pitch-black. The Shield Team was trying to get into the Class S but didn't know who their opponent would be or why they were battling at night.
Phantom: Not afraid of the dark are you?
ShieldTeam1: What in the world was that?
Two glowing red eyes appeared in the darkness. They began to move towards the Shield Team. Suddenly there was a loud roar and the NightShade appeared.
ShieldTeam3: Who're you?
Phantom: I'm known as Phantom and I'll be your opponent for tonight. Get by me and you get into the Class S.
ShieldTeam4: 4 on 1? This'll be easy.
Phantom: We'll see.
The Judge Capsule landed and rose from the ground. It opened and lights inside the capsule clicked on.
Judge: Area Scanned. Battlefield set-up. The Shield Team VS The Phantom. Battle mode 0990. Ready…FIGHT!
ShieldTeam1: Same strategy that got us here.
2,3, and 4: Roger that!
The Shield Ligers surrounded the Gojulas and activated their energy shields. The Gojulas turned and fired at the NightShade. The liger type zoid jumped out of the way and roared. The NightShade opened fired on an uncovered spot but a Shield Liger jumped up and blocked it.
Phantom: Hmm…good strategy but there's one flaw. You can't be everywhere at once.
The NightShade began to run circles around the Shield Team. Suddenly there were seven NightShades. The Gojulas opened fire on them but couldn't hit them.
Phantom: Strike Laser Claw!
Two Shield Ligers hit the ground as the glow from the strike laser claw attack faded from their backs. The third Shield Liger charged right for the circling NightShades but went right through them. Several missiles were fired from the NightShades and the last Shield Liger went down.
All but one of the NightShades faded away and the remaining one walked towards the Gojulas.
ShieldTeam4: You're mine!
Phantom: Then c'mon, impress me.
The Gojulas opened fire with every weapon it had. The NightShade jumped into the air and spread its wings. The Gojulas stopped firing and looked up. The NightShade suddenly disappeared into the darkness.
Phantom: You guys are fairly skilled, I'll give ya that, but you're not Class S material.
ShieldTeam4: Show yourself!
Phantom: As you wish. Strike Laser Claw!
The Gojulas's cannons hit the ground. The zoid soon followed.
Judge: Battle over. Battle over. The winner is… The Phantom!
**Later, on route to the Phantom's base**
Phantom: So the Blitz Team's next battle is against the Champ Team… This should be interesting.
The Black Wing Liger growled a few times and then roared once.
Phantom: So you want to come to? Okay…I don't see why not, and you can help determine whether or not the Liger Zero is an Ultimate X.
The Liger growled in response and sped up.
**Next Day**
The Black Wing Liger stood atop a building in the ruined city. The Champ Team's Whale King was at the entrance to the city. The Blitz Team's Hover Cargo pulled up and released the Liger Zero, Dibison, and Command Wolf.
Phantom: It's about to begin…Deploy camera units.
Three cameras took off and began to track a Blitz Team Zoid each. The Judge Capsule landed in the center of the city and opened. The Black Wing Liger activated its stealth shield as the Judge scanned the battlefield.
Judge: Ready…FIGHT!
Al six zoids took off into the ruined city and spread out.
Phantom: Let's go Liger!
The Black Wing Liger roared and then opened its wings. The Zoid jumped off the building and flew through the area looking for the Liger Zero. After finding the zoid, it began to following through the air. Soon the Champ Team's Dark Horn was chasing after the Liger Zero. During the chase, all the Liger did was take left turns…
Phantom: Hmm…turning left…that should weaken the Dark Horn's legs…this guy's good.
The Black Wing Liger growled in agreement and almost flew right into a fallen building. It flew up and over the building and met the Liger Zero on the other side of the building.
Soon the Dark Horn's legs collapsed and the Zoid toppled over. The Liger shot the weapons off the Dark Horn's back as the Black Wing Liger landed. The White Liger walked forward and placed a glowing claw over the Dark Horn's head.
Phantom: It's over for the Champ Team…
Suddenly the Black Wing Liger turned its head and looked up. Several Megalo Max shots were about to rain down on the area.
Judge: Battle Over. Battle over. The winner is…The Blitz Team!
The Black Wing Liger got to it's feet as the Dibison pilot celebrated her victory.
Phantom: She has problems…
The Liger growled in agreement and then fell back over.
