Akira conjures up a virtual space where Minami is a classmate, Alma a transfer student, and the rest of the Squad is also involved in a high school setting.
The Squad attempts to revive Akira's memories by stimulating his subconscience, and are secretly joined by Ygg.
Akira ends up facing off against "Beta," an individual identical to himself possessing EX-ARM Number 11, which caused great destruction in Tokyo. He comes to believe that Beta is the root cause of everything.
Wait, you mean we're trapped 
here in this VR space?
أنحن محتجزون في مساحة
الواقع الافتراضيّ هذه إذاً؟
Das heißt, wir sind in dieser
VR-Umgebung eingeschlossen?
¿Estamos atrapados
en este espacio de realidad virtual?
¿Estamos atrapados
en este espacio de realidad virtual?

Significa que ficamos
presas nesta RV?!
Так мы что, застряли
в виртуальном пространстве?!
