When the gargoyle touched the Gate it began to dissolve and the phoenix exploded free and swallowed Brooklyn, transporting him to Scotland in the year 997. ("Future Tense", "The Gate")

After the Battle of Rathveramoen, the phoenix appeared once again to whisk Brooklyn, Mary, and Finella through time. For the next forty years, the phoenix carried Brooklyn through time, before finally returning him back to Manhattan forty seconds after his departure, along with Katana, Nashville, Fu-Dog, and their egg.
