Traveling in the company of his family and friends, he crisscrossed the post-Vapor Incursion world, fighting off pirates and helping those in need. That changed when he and his crew rescued a contingent of New American politicians from a terrorist known as the Patriot Knight.

After fleeing New America and fending off assassins, Captain Phoenix leads Blood Sky back to the Atlantic Ocean, only to discover a warrant is out for his arrest. Every nation across the world, including the neutral Shangri-La, has received the message: Captain Phoenix is to be detained and sent back to New America by any means necessary.
