I remember a cartoon that showed in the 90' when Cartoon Network first started out that was much older, maybe early 80's?

There was a guy with two swords the fused together into one for a power up, and there was a phoenix that wanted to be older and bigger than before. I remember the last episode was the Phoenix finding a larger phoenix and admiring this phoenix. The series was short. There was at least one girl, one guy and then the phoenix. The phoenix had a weird name and was annoying...

Any ideas?
