Phoenix Risers

The Phoenix Risers is a group made up of 238 soldiers and survivors, including individuals from Chinese, Korean, and other Asian backgrounds, such as South Asians. Led by Chinese nationalist Kang, they originated from Nanjing, China, during the Battle of Nanjing. Having personally endured the hardships of Japanese occupation, their mission is to seek justice for the victims of Japanese aggression. The Phoenix Risers have conducted successful attacks on Japanese military bases, acquiring three mechas and eliminating all Japanese military personnel. They are thorough in their search for any Japanese soldiers attempting to escape their assaults.

However, it is crucial to acknowledge that the Phoenix Risers have also engaged in warfare against Japanese civilians during the invasion of Japan. Their actions have included bombing local villages, setting family homes ablaze with flamethrowers, and Kang's controversial plan to exterminate the entire native Japanese population in the name of justice. They deem individuals without Japanese heritage but born and raised in Japan, who are killed or subjected to rape, as race traitors and advocate for their public hanging. Additionally, they have forcibly separated Japanese children from their parents, leading to the death of the parents. These children either endure sexual abuse from their own relatives or are killed. If the Phoenix Risers capture Japanese soldiers, they force the soldiers to watch as their young sons and daughters are sent to minefields and killed.

In light of these distressing circumstances, Bai, Jaya, and Jaya's wife, Ava, have made the difficult decision to defect from the Phoenix Risers. Their primary objective is to rescue a Japanese girl and other Japanese women who have suffered from sexual abuse at the hands of the Phoenix Risers. They have also saved three Japanese pregnant women who were subjected to inhumane experiments by newborn Japanese children.

Bai and Jaya are also working to protect eight Japanese children who are being concealed by a Chinese couple in a Chinatown village. These children are in danger as the Phoenix Risers relentlessly search for them, torturing and killing any Japanese children they come across. Despite their secret escape plan, tragedy strikes when one of the pregnant women, overwhelmed with despair, takes her own life by walking into a minefield. This act alerts the Phoenix Risers to their location, and in the chaos, Ava is tragically shot and killed by Dae while attempting to save the pregnant women. This fuels Jaya's anger as they escape with the Japanese children and the sole surviving pregnant woman on a ship provided by the Chinese couple.

To evade the relentless pursuit of the Phoenix Risers, who brand them as race traitors for their efforts to save the Japanese girl and the Japanese children, Bai and Jaya have joined the E-Campaign. Together, they strive to protect these individuals from further harm. However, Kang, in particular, has ordered his followers to do whatever it takes to eliminate Bai and Jaya. Despite the dangers they face, they hold onto hope and determination, believing that by uniting with the E-Campaign, they can find safety, expose the atrocities committed by the Phoenix Risers, and work towards a more just and compassionate world.
