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 Phantom was working on the Black Wing Liger's CAS system when the zoid growled.
Phantom: What is it Liger?
The zoid growled a few more times and Phantom looked up from his work.
Phantom: Yeah, I suppose the Liger Zero would have CAS systems too. I'll go looking around the place where the Liger Zero was found a little later.
**Later**
The Phantom stood over a set of newly discovered CAS parts. He had spent the last few hours digging them up.
Phantom: Great…the Jager, Panzer, and Schieder…now how to get them out of this hole…I should've brought Liger with me…
Suddenly there was crumbling sound. Phantom looked down and the rocks below his feet gave way. Then, the rocks and the Phantom slid down into the hole.
Phantom: Ow…
**A Little later at the Taros Base**
Cloak: So the deal's all set?
Doc: Yeah sure, but why are you selling these parts at such a low price?
Cloak: I have my reasons. Just remember, I don't exist. Tell your team that you created the parts or something…
Doc: okay.
**Next Day, desert battlefield**
Phantom climbed up to the top of a stone pillar as the Blitz Team's Hover Cargo pulled up. He activated his stealth shield and deployed three camera units.
Phantom: This is the perfect chance to test out my newest hover boot technology!
The masked warrior jumped off the pillar, and activated his hover boots. He hovered a few inches off the ground and waited for the battle to begin.
Judge: Ready…FIGHT!
The Blitz Team zoids began to walk forward slowly. Phantom hovered/skated after them. Soon, a Lightning Siax ran up to meet them.
Phantom: Well if it isn't Jack Cisco. This should be the perfect test for the Jager. Let's hope they get a chance to use it though…wait a second what's that sound?
Phantom looked up and saw a pair of shells heading in his direction. He dove out of the way as the spot where he had been standing exploded.
Phantom: Harry and one of his robots must be using Cannon Tortoises out there…great…now I have to avoid explosives too…
The Phantom deployed another camera unit that began to track the Lightning Siax, and then fired a grappling hook at the Liger Zero. It latched onto the zoid's tail and when the liger took off, Phantom went with it.
Phantom: There's no way this zoid will be able to keep up with the Siax's speed.
The Liger Zero stopped and Phantom slammed into the zoid's back leg. The Blitz Team was bombarded with shots from the Lightning Saix and Cannon Tortoises. Phantom dodged the shots with the Liger until he heard something that would turn this battle around.
Bit: *over radio* Doc, get the Liger's conversion parts ready for me.
Phantom: Perfect…now his choice of which one to use will decide this battle's outcome…
Doc: Great! Which one will it be? The Schieder or maybe the Panzer?
Bit: No, I'll use the Liger Zero Jager.
Phantom: Zero Jager… high-speed battle…
The liger ran into the Hover Cargo and was secured to the maintenance deck. The CAS system was activated and the white armor was removed from the Liger Zero. The storage bays rotated and the blue Zero Jager armor was placed on the Liger Zero. Phantom reattached a grappling hook to the liger's tail and waited.
Phantom: Wait a second, the Hover Cargo uses a magnetic catapult, which means…
The magnet was switched on and Phantom was launched into the air. He slammed into the top of the Hover Cargo and fell back down. He was suspended in mid air until the Jager was launched.
Phantom: Note to self…next time, do not stand on the magnetic catapult…
The Jager sped forward and Phantom held onto to the grappling hook with both hands. As soon as the Jager's ion boosters were activated, Phantom was lifted into the air.
Phantom: THIS IS NOT GOOD!
The Jager and the Lightning Siax smashed into each other a few times before turning to face one another. The zoids charged and attacked in mid air. The Jager walked away without a scratch and the Lightning Siax's leg was damaged. When the Jager stopped, Phantom slammed into the zoid's leg once again. He then slowly slid to the ground.
Phantom: Good thing that's over…
He spoke too soon. The two Cannon Tortoises were charging forward, attacking once more. The Jager sped around to the other side of them and knocked them both over with a sonic boom. This time, when the Jager stopped, Phantom spun around the zoid's leg a few times and was trapped by his own grappling hook.
Phantom: This could be a problem…

The Elephandor isn't so invincible after all…at least when it fights the Phantom…
