==Synopsis==
Last 2007, the war between the Centurions of Atlantika (to be led by Aquano [Daisuke Fukuyama]) and the evil force of King Barracud (Itsuki Nakahara) has set to an end but the story of Atlantika continues as the final battle between good and evil heats up until the end. Aquano killed Barracud but he didn’t killed Piranus because Piranus escaped from the battle. After the grand war in Atlantika, Aquano married Michiru and the two crowned as the new king and queen of Atlantika, replacing King Agat and Queen Celebes. Barracud’s body was buried along the aquatic cave after the grand war. Michiru is 5 months pregnant and Aquano is very happy because he is the father of the love child. Their love child is a girl and named Aquarra van Hillford (Rykkhofhra Darkkauciux). Aquarra was a child and she was separated from her auntie Ruana (Rebecca Wilson) when a huge underwater tornado struck on the kingdom. Her friend Ryoka Sagara (Reina Naomi van Elliarckus) saw her lying on the seashore, and she was recovered after the tragedy. 26 years from now, in the year 2033, Aquarra is now a geologist who discovered that there was a kingdom under the sea, the kingdom of Atlantika. But the evil Barracud rose up from the dead and there, in the mortal world, he created a tsunami which caused death of thousands of people in the mortal world. However, the three warriors of Atlantika — Kyohei Fukumiya (Nakatsu Hamashiro), Xera van Roentgen (Mikoto Shinjuro) and Miyuki Takahiko (Shizuru Sawajiri) — came to the mortal world and they want to convince Aquarra to go back to Atlantika wherein Aquarra will be the savior of Atlantika and will become the heiress to become a leader of Atlantika, next to King Aquano. However, Barracud invaded once again the kingdom of Atlantika, thus the Atlantic Force centurions — Aquarra, Kyohei, Xera and Miyuki — was transformed and later they are also called the Atlantic Centurion Evolution.
But during the battle between Atlantic Centurion Evolution and Evil Centurion Force (to be led by Piranus vi Darmstadt) in the mortal world, Piranus and his allies died in their final battle. Andromedo, one of Barracud’s allies, became the new leader of Evil Centurion Force and started to hypnotized Xera to become an evil centurion also. Andromedo's evil plans was also shattered, and later, this was also lead him to his death, because of Aquarra and her allies' great plans to destroy evil plans of both Andromedo and Barracud. Barracud initially continued Andromedo and Piranus' legacy to kill Aquarra and her allies and also to settle darkness both in Atlantika and in the mortal world by using his evil centurion powers as Corolla Centurion. But Barracud died after Aquarra killed him, and this was lead to restore the peace in both Atlantika and the mortal world.
