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.
God damn. This guy's got one 
messed-up idea of teenage life.
يا إلهي، فكرة هذا الشاب
عن حياة المراهقة مرتخية جدّاً
Meine Fresse, was für ’ne unbekümmerte
Jugend sich in seinem Gehirn abspielt …
Che roba. Il suo cervello ha una visione
 un po' ottimistica dell'adolescenza, no?
Caramba, essa ideia de juventude dele
é despreocupada demais.
Боже, у него какое-то извращённое
представление о жизни подростков.
