Akira Volpe

*“I want vengeance for my fallen people! It was you who massacred the Okami!”*

— Akira revealing her true motives

Team Phantom (formerly)

**Akira Volpe** is a major antagonist of the flashback portion of *Forbidden Quest* in *Ogaji Origins*.

Akira is a shape-shifting Kitsune, protector of the Wolf Spirits, the Okami. She originally weaseled her way into Team Phantom by pretending to be searching for the Okami after they escaped, but revealed later that Okami were killed, and she wants revenge on the Ogajians for destroying her tribe. And to do so, she attempts to use the Scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu to turn everyone into a wolf.

She is killed by G when he too is corrupted by the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu.

## History

### Early History

Not much is known about her early history except that she and the other Kitsune lived in the Frozen North protecting their guardian spirits, the Okami.

It is possible that she and the other Kitsune lived in the Forgotten Kingdom of Ice after the Ice Samurai were defeated, but that is unproven.

At an unknown point in recent history, the Okami and Kitsune were purged by the Ogajians for unknown reasons, and Akira was the sole survivor.

### Ogaji Origins

#### Forbidden Quest

At some point, Akira discovered the myth of "Forbidden Spinjitzu," a martial art left over from times long forgotten. Wanting nothing more than to get revenge on the people of Ogaji for killing her tribe, she sought after the Scroll in order to enhance her Kitsune powers.

Eventually, she discovered Team Phantom, and decided to gain their trust in the hopes of gaining insight as to the location of the Forbidden Scroll.

Akira would stage several rabid wolf attacks in Ogaji City, and arrive just in time to help the Phantom Heroes defeat them. After saving their butts more than once, she proposes she join their team.

G is quick to dismiss her, but the others give her a chance.

The two have a battle at their temple base, and if Akira wins, she can join them. G uses his power to reveal Akira's true identity-- being a Kitsune from the Frozen North. She reveals her past to them, only partially, telling them that her tribe of people is in charge of protecting their guardian spirits, Okami, or Golden Wolves. The Okami suddenly escaped on her watch, so it has been her quest for some time to return them to their rightful place. Uncaring, G says that she is untrustworthy. The others are not so quick to judge, and allow her onto the team.

The next morning, Akira is nowhere to be found, and G assumes the worst. but she was merely helping Llide with something. They are suddenly attacked by a flying drone, which calls them "defectors." They quickly defeat it, but it flies off, and G apologizes to Akira for not trusting her.

The team then find parts from the drone back to their super computer, and attempt to access its data. They find code which gives instructions to locate so-called "Samurai of Men," Colin, Ray, and Holo… These are the defectors. They find that they take base in the Dragon Castle, so they make preparations to journey there and seek help, seeing as they are connected to the drone, unknowing that Colin, Ray, and Holo would not be there for thousands of years.

Team Phantom arrives at the castle and find it empty. As they search the grounds, the High Order drone attacks them with the powers of the plate. G and Akira realize that it's the source of it's power, and remove it from it's head, disabling it. They take it back to their base where they access it's direct video memory feed.

They find out that the High Order is a race of superior beings who have plunged Ogaji into darkness about 6,000 years into the future.

Eventually, the High Order King sends Task (the drone) after several of the defectors, being Colin, Ray, and Holo. The three of them with IDs in the system the same as Llide, Tom, and G... After several failed attempts, they power up Task with a power forsaken by the past, but as rulers of the realm they make the rules. They power it up with the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu, which they encompass in a plate that rests on Task's head... he is ready.

With the memory being concluded, Team Phantom realizes what this means... and so does Akira. She realizes that must mean there is a Scroll in the past, considering the one they have is from the future. She steals the Scroll from Task, becoming super charged, and then finds the one of the present.

G is disheartened that he could not trust her, and Akira reveals her true motives were to take revenge on the people of Ogaji for *killing* the Okami.

After using the power of both Scrolls, she transforms everyone in Ogaji into a wolf slave of hers. G is powerless to stop her, until he gets one of the Scrolls for himself. Using the power of Forbidden Spinjitzu, he knocks Akira away after she threatened his friends, she drops the second Scroll...

Angry at her betrayal, he takes in hand the second Scroll and goes berserk, killing Akira and returning Ogaji to normal.

## Author's Notes

* She's based off of Akita from LEGO Ninjago.
	+ Again, not very creative, even though she was created before I watched the show.
* Her last name "Volpe" is the Italian word for fox.
	+ Instead of having her name be Akira Lupo, which actually means wolf, Volpe just sounds cooler.
* She also takes slight inspiration from the video game "Okami."
