(Twisted Fates) The Phantom

Chapter 1: Origins

It was a warm, and peaceful night in Baltimore... until reports started emerging of a group of people rampaging through the streets and vandalizing property, lighting many buildings on fire, and attacking multiple innocent people. Loud and visible screams alongside gunshots were the only things that people could hear in the city, as destruction and despair was the only thing you could hear, a man started to yell as he stood in the middle of a street, appearing to be the leader.

"TONIGHT!! BALTIMORE WILL RECEIVE THIS ONE, AND ONLY WARNING!! THIS CITY WILL BECOME ASHES! AND NO ONE CAN STOP US!! NO ONE! ANARCHY SHALL PREVAIL!!"

As the Leader of the bunch would go on his speech, it seems that his claim of "no one" being able to stop him, would be countered! As a new face in Baltimore would appear!

THE PHANTOM!

The Phantom landed on a rooftop, surveying the scene.

"This is not how I imagined my first night.."

He said as he looked around, he saw that this was clearly a group of dangerous people who were trying to bring great destruction and harm to Baltimore, which he obviously was not going to allow.

"Alright, just a bunch of crazies who want to cause a little bit of chaos, let's see how this goes."

He dropped down into the chaos, it didn't take long before The Anarchist noticed that he had a visitor.

"What's this?! You think that you can oppose my anarchy?! You're sorely mistaken, my friend! Get him!"

He pointed his finger towards The Phantom, and his crew would respond to his order, becoming hostile.

He had to act fast, the people that were shooting at him had carbine rifles and automatic pistols, this was not going to go well for him if he did not act right. The Phantom dashed towards one of the gunman, grabbing his gun and punching him straight across the face! He then threw the man into a nearby gunman, before countering an oncoming attacker who tried to hit him from behind, as he threw his fist up and blocked the punch, before hitting the attacker with a headbutt and throwing him over his side, he then was blindsided as somebody pistol whipped him across the face. The Phantom was momentarily stunned but fought back, taking the gun out of the man's hands and giving him a very hard strike to the head, rendering him unconscious! The Phantom then turned his attention to The Anarchist, the two stared each other down.

"You are pathetic! Who are you supposed to be?! This city's knight in shining armor?! You're a fucking joke!"

"Give it up! There's nowhere left to run."

As The Phantom said this, he would hear a woman cry out, it seemed that there were still some Anarchists in a different area, he turned around, but this was a big mistake, as The Anarchist shot him in the side! The Phantom fell to his knees.

"AGH!! Damn you! You'll pay for that!"

The Anarchist laughed at him as a vehicle came through, The Anarchist did put his gun up to the Phantom's head, but he did not pull the trigger, he got into the side of the vehicle.

"As I said!! A joke! Come try and fight me when you're actually a serious threat, moron!"

The Anarchist swiftly kicked him under the vigilante's chin knocking him out.
