Synopsis

Sala escapes an army hospital and rejoins the all-female Sky Band gang on the Isle of Herons. The Phantom is arrested on the suspicion of aiding Sala. Freed by the Bandar, the Phantom reaches the Isle of Herons but is captured and taken to the Baroness, the leader of the gang. The Baroness is attracted to the Phantom, leading to conflict within the gang. The Baroness sends Sala away on a mission, resulting in Sala's arrest. Sala realizes the Baroness set her up in order to get rid of her, and cooperates with the army, leading them to the Isle of Herons, where they help defeat the Sky Band.
