**Akira** is the main character of the Gaia's Melody series. Her main weapons are Daggers.

## Personality

Akira is always outgoing and friendly, however towards the start of Gaia's Melody, she has a rather bratty side, saying how she hates things or that she isn't going to listen to someone. After the destruction of Teralolz and the disappearance of Echo, her behavior begins to improve. She is a very trusting person, to the point she often trusts others regardless of the consequences.

She cares deeply for Echo and her friends, going to great lengths to find them after Teralolz's destruction. She has an overwhelming desire to protect others, to the point she initially tries to adventure alone to avoid being a burden to others, and later leaving Eeon with just Tadase, Tara and Kachie accompanying her. Her desire to protect others is strong enough for her to value them over her own life.

Akira can be very clueless at times, to the point that things obvious to most people often go over her head, although sometimes she can be rather aware of what's happening, but acts clueless to avoid attracting unwanted attention.

## Background

Akira, originally known as *Melody*, was born as a clone of Kasumi in Eeon's and Mirriikh's underground factories, as part of Project Melody, in an attempt to unlock Kasumi's magical powers and for the magical powers of the clones can be multiplied. Agares gave all clones a curse, so that if they would try to rebel, they would get killed. He also tried to force her to attain the song that would open the gate and made her easily susceptible to mindtricks, so that he can control her at anytime. Because of that Doken put a team together and they tried to escape, he knowing that the Gate will keep Akira's powers and split personality in bay, so he tried to take Akira to Teralolz. In the airship to the way to Teralolz they get attacked by Agares, who tries to capture Akira. Because of this Akira gets extremely angry, loses control of her powers and destroys the airship. Her split personality killed Eiko, who tried to calm her down. The airship then crashes and only Akira and Echo seem to be there. Echo then confronts her and states "she's a killer", but due to the outburst Akira lost her memory and can't remember what happened. As she misheard "a killer" as "Akira", she asks Echo if that is her name. Echo decides to let her in the faith that she's her big sister and that they always lived in Teralolz, so that Akira never needs to learn the truth.

Akira and Echo are found by some of the residents of Teralolz and brought into the town and left to rest for a while. When Tara and Kachie come to check on them, Akira wakes up, and after Tara and Kachie introduces themselves, Akira stops them from waking Echo up. Although she initially struggles to remember her name, she introduces herself to Tara and Kachie. Tara then notices that Akira has a monkey's tail, which Akira notices when Tara mentions it.

That night Akira ends up inside a shrine in Teralolz, and her magic starts to go out of control. Despite her magic trying to stop them, Tadase, Tara and Kachie manage to force their way into the shrine. They snap Akira out of her trance. Echo arrives soon after and comforts Akira, who wishes she could remember her past.

The next day Akira introduces herself to the others over breakfast, managing to get Tadase to talk. She decides they should all be friends. Afterwards, Akira and Echo move into a new house. Since Tara decided that they should all stick together, Akira decided that she, Echo, Tadase, Tara and Kachie should form a club. After seeing Kachie use her Earth magic, Akira asked Echo if she could learn magic, who forbade her from doing so. After that, Akira spent most of her time at the clubhouse.

Sometime later Akira, Tadase, Tara and Kachie were playing by the river, when Akira falls in. Tadase, Tara and Kachie are unable to rescue her, causing them to go find Echo to help them rescue Akira. After they find her, she starts emitting light again, causing Echo to hit her in anger.

At some point, Akira found a piano in the old shrine. With Echo's help, she take the piano back to their house, and cleans it up, causing Tara to realize Akira knew how to play the piano.

## Relationships

Melody and Zephyr have a close relationship, with the latter having a crush on the former. Zephyr has spoken to her on one occassion where he dreamed of defecting from Mirrikh, and defeating Agares. At this point, both of them still lived within Mirrikh and Zephyr was not allowed to let Akira leave the castle. But later on after Akira lost her memories, she forgot about Zephyr

`End of spoilers.`

Akira and Zephyr are initially enemies, with Akira hating him and wanting to destroy him inside of Gaia's Melody since it seemed that Zephyr was working for Mirrikh but then later on in the story, they joined forces and formed a friendly relationship. In GMEM, depending on your choices within the game it is possible to date him near the end

## Plot

### In Teralolz

Echo wakes Akira up, and tells her to meet her at the shrine. After Akira meets Echo at the shrine she gets into an argument with her, causing Echo to tell Akira to leave. She complies and decides to explore Teralolz, talk to the townspeople and try and learn magic with Tadase, Tara and Kachie. When she tries to enter the clubhouse, she finds that the lock has been changed. After exploring the town, it starts raining, so Akira heads home.

When she arrives home she is greeted by a concerned Echo. Akira wonders how it is raining when Teralolz is surrounded by waterfalls and below land, and Echo tells her she was wondering the same thing. They are then interrupted by Bawr, who wants to stay at Akira's and Echo's house for a while since his house leaks, and Akira and Echo agree he can stay. Akira asks Bawr if Tadase has come back yet, and is disappointed when he tells her that he hasn't and is probably still at the clubhouse.

Akira decide to play the first song she ever learned on the piano to try and calm herself down, but ends up even more tense than before. Akira decides to get some sleep, but ends up waking up early. She then decided to leave the house. She notices a key on the ground outside her room, and decides to go and check the clubhouse to see if it will open the lock. After trying it, she is transported to the clubhouse.

Akira travels through the clubhouse looking for Tadase, Tara and Kachie. Akira asks them what they are up to, surprising them. They tell her that they are celebrating the fourth anniversary of her and Echo's arrival to Teralolz, and are surprised that Akira both hasn't remembered and doesn't consider it important. Tadase, Tara and Kachie then give her a necklace as a present, which she happily accepts. The clubhouse then gets rocked by earthquakes, so the group decide to leave in case the clubhouse collapses.

As they begin to leave, the clubhouse starts to collapse. When they reach the entrance, they find that they are unable to leave, as they cannot get past the stones that have collapsed in front of the entrance and are unable to move them, even with Kachie's earth magic. Tadase mentions that there is an emergency escape passage, and Akira decides they should go find it.

After finding the ladder, Akira decides to leave despite concerns of the safety of the ladder. She nearly gets crushed by falling rocks, but manages to dodge in time. A group of monsters then fall down in front of Akira and friends, who defeat them. After doing so the group climbs out of the clubhouse to find Terelolz has been set ablaze.

After shaking off the shock of seeing their howntown ablaze, the group decide to split up to help rescue people. Akira and Tadase head north. After meeting Chiyo, she tells Akira that there is a little girl trapped in a tree, so Akira tells Tadase to go to the Shrine to help Echo. Akira climbs the tree and helps the girl get to her feet. After a brief conversation, Akira grabs her and jumps from the tree. After landing, Akira tells the girl to stay there because she needs to get to the shrine, and the girl tells her she is coming with her. She introduces herself, telling Akira her name is Kari. Akira thanks her for her willingness to help.

Akira and Kari head towards the shrine, encountering Tadase, Tara and Kachie on the bridge to the shrine. They are unable to fully cross the bridge because of fire blocking the way. Akira, Tadase, Tara and Kachie get attacked by more monsters on the bridge, and the group have trouble battling them. Kari then destroys the monsters with her magic, before collapsing.

Akira then proceeds to ask Kari if she is alright, then Akira, Tara, and Tadase proceed onwards to the other side of the bridge with Kachie protecting Kari. The shrine is protected by a magical barrier which Tara and Tadase are unable to dispel. Kari wakes up and helps Akira break the magical barrier through zapping her with 1000 volts of bolt3, forcing her to activate her magical powers.

But, as a result, Akira is barely conscious from the shock, and crawls slowly towards Echo inside of the shrine. Echo seemingly is warped away from the shrine. Akira collapses, unconscious.

Teralolz is flooded offscreen by Leith.

### Unknown Chapter

Akira awakens next to Kari in Arber Forest, and asks her what has transpired, to which Kari replies essentially that she doesn't know. After that, the pair decide to travel in search of nearby villages. Soon after they find Choko across a puddle, scaring her away. Akira takes this as a sign of a nearby village, and they travel until they reach Arber Village.

Choko is seen talking to other usagi at the village entrance before Akira and Kari interrupt them. Choko then challenges the two to a duel, when she summons an illusionary bunny monster at them. Akira and Kari dispatch the bunny monster easily, and Choko mourns the loss of her familiar.

Priest Arbur, village leader, shows up and tells Akira Kari and Choko to see him for a discussion after the ordeal. They all meet up inside of his home, and Akira tells the Priest that she comes from the village of Teralolz. He replies that Teralolz is no longer exists, due to the occurance of a flooding.

He and Choko tell Akira that it's possible that survivors are atop a mountain to the northeast of Arber Village, some of them possible being Akira's friends. Then Akira is to be guided to the mountain by Choko, under order by Priest Arbur.

Akira tells Kari to stay in the village, believing the mountain excursion to be too dangerous for her. Choko leads out of the eastern side of the village, tells Akira where to go, and Akira heeds her directions.

After heading north, she enters a cave that is very dark. Since she doesn't have a light source of any kind she leaves the cave, and goes outside. Right after, she vows to find her friends then falls asleep since it's nighttime outside too. Kari finds her sleeping on the grass and gives her a lantern. Akira and Kari reenter the cave together and fight through it. They leave through the otherside, finding themselves on the top of the mountain. Kachie is being attacked by a Mighty Grofon, and Okoh is trying to defeat the monster. Akira and Kari join in the fight, and defeat it.

Akira finds a injured Kachie lying down on the grass, and Kachie tells her to protect Okoh. Okoh is injured as well and stuck to a log, and Akira with the help of Kachie n Kari pull him out of the log. There's an earthquake, but Okoh tells them that the quaking is not coming from the earth but rather a magical mage. Okoh needs to summon a illusionary beast to fly the back to the village. Akira and Kari recharges Okoh's magical power and he summons a flying monster which transport them there.

Aaron Brass is seen at the outskirts of it, attacking Choko before Akira confronts him. He shows off his advanced earth magic capabilities, before Akira is angered and starts using her magical aura against Aaron. Kari and Kachie joins in and aids Akira, and the battle begins. After the match Aaron warps out of the area. The land around them is collapsing from earth magic spikes appearing repeatedly, so Akira is forced to use her magical aura to teleport all four of them out.

The whole of Arber Village is transformed into an enormous crater, and most of its residents, presumably dead from Aaron's attack.

### Secrets Chapter

Akira wakes up in Elder Erei's house on a bed, and the people she teleported with her magic are sleeping inside of the beds in the house as well. When Akira exits Elder's home she's confronted by Miki and Niki. They reveal that the two kitsunei carried Akira's group to the village, after Akira and her friends fell down from the sky and landed on top of the pair. After exploring the town for a bit, Akira goes outside of the village leaving Miki and Niki at the border since they as kitsunei, are not allowed to leave the village.

Kachie is outside of the village, near a river. They hug, then after that Kachie asks Akira if she wants to kill time with her and explore the jungle together. If Akira chooses to check on her friends first, when she reenters Elder's house Choko tells Akira that Kari has a fever. Akira checks on Kari, and Kari tells her that she needs a pendant which she lost, or she will die. It's in Arber village, but the village has been blown up. Still, Akira decides she needs to find it anyways in order to save her life and promises to find it for Kari.

Kachie joins Akira and the two go on to find the magic pendant together. After journeying through Majikk Jungle and climbing up a big hill, they find a magic barrieir blocking thier path. Neither Akira nor Kachie can figure out how to destroy the barrier so they return to the town and ask Miki and Niki for some help.

Elder Erei is inside Kari's bedroom alongside Miki and Niki, and tells Akira the pendant is a magical device used to control people. After debating on whether Kari is from or being controlled by Mirrikh or not, Akira asks Elder how to defeat the barrier, and he tells her that he created it since the monsters from Arber were going to invade Majikk and he wanted to keep them on the other side. He refuses to reason with Akira and says that he will be keeping the barrier up, and she leaves the house afterwards.

Miki and Niki join Akira, despite them not being allowed to, since according to Miki they want to go on an adventure together. They meet up with Kachie and go into the jungle again, before they go to the barrier and dispel it. They go through the cave and reach the other side of it, going back to Arber Forest.

With the monsters in Arber Forest gone, they go through it during nighttime and find the remains of Arber Village just as morning arrives. It's a big giant hole now. Akira is saddened by the sight, as she wasn't able to help any of the usagi who had perished from this event so her magical aura appears again, she floats with magic into the crater, grabs the pendant and gets out. After that Akira tells Miki and Niki that they need to evacuate everyone out of Majikk Village since Mirrikh might attack them next, but on their way back they see an airship traveling towards the village. Akira thinks it's Mirrikh attacking them, though it's actually Doken attempting to save the village.

When they arrive back at the village Elder Erei staunchly holds the position that no kitsunei will be allowed to leave the village because of tradition. Akira gives Kari her pendant back, helping her recover back to full health. Elder Erei banishes both Miki and Niki after telling Akira and her friends that they no longer have a reason to stay at the village and should head out.

Akira tries convincing the Elder one last time, before Kachie shows up in Elder's house and tells them all that the airship has already arrived. Elder tells the villagers to stay in their homes for the time being before leaving the house. Out in the town, a catboy shows up to provide aid to the villagers.

Though Akira and Choko are initially suspicious of him, Whyp tells them that he will transport the villagers onto the airship and keep them safe from a menacing person heading towards the village. Kari tells them to trust Whyp, and Whyp creates a teleportation zone where people can enter to be saved. Choko and Okoh tell villagesrs to enter the teleportation circle to be teleported onto the airship for safety, and many villagers end up coming and entering the circle. Kari, Choko and Okoh enter the teleporting circle as well. For the remaining kitsunei who refuse to go, Akira tells them to return to their houses and hide.

Akira Miki and Niki and Kachie stay, so they can protect the village. Leith arrives at the town square, while Akira's team is hiding in the bushes nearby and Leith remarks about how little villagers there are, before realizing that Doken must have transported all of them to safety beforehand. Leith sees them hiding in the bushes and they all fight against each other.

After the fight, Leith attempts to blow up the town before all four of them team up and create a magical aura wich they release at her. Akira is knocjed out by the blast from exhaustion, but it seemingly repelled Leith away, and she is gone after the blast occurs. Later on, all of the remaining kitsunei and Elder Erei are surrounding the exhausted Akira. Whyp teleports back and offers to transport them all to the airship, for all of them to make a new home in the city of Eeon. Elder Erei finally relents and lets the kitsunei be teleported out if they so choose, but Elder decides to remain in the town for the time being to protect the village with his life.

Kachie carries Akira to the teleportation circle, alongside Miki and Niki and all of the kitsunei villagers choose to go into the circle. Whyp warps all of them out of the village.

### Comprehension Chapter

Akira wakes up on Doken's Airship with Whyp right next to her. Whyp tells Akira that all of her friends are fine and are walking about in the airship without issues. Whyp also reveals that Doken is his master, as he is a kemoneko. After this exchange, Whyp leads Akira to the people who would like to see her on the ship deck.

Whyp leads Akira to Kachie, Tadase and Tara all on the ship deck, where all three of them were talking to each other in a group. They see Akira, and greet her telling how much they missed her. Kachie teases Akira for crying because she thought that Tadase and Tara might be dead, before Tadase hugs Akira suddenly. Tara and Tadase explain what happened to the both of them, that Tara woke up in the middle of nowhere after the Teralolz flood, and that she wandered until she found Tadase and a powerful mage attacked them both. Then, Whyp came and saved the both of them. After that, Whyp tells them all that Doken is expecting Akira, and all of them besides Kachie decide to come along. Kachie goes back indoors to Miki and Niki, to help out the kitsuneis.

Akira and the rest arrive, and Doken is at the ship wheel. He commands Fighter to take control of the airship for him, before addressing the group. Doken introduces himself to all three of Akira, Tadase and Tara while they introduce themselves to him. Doken says he will be talking to them more after they arrive at Eeon, bidding them farewell. Whyp stays with Doken. Tara stays on the ship deck as well, leaving Akira and Tadase to themselves.

Akira returns to her room telling Tadase goodbye. She goes in and tries to sleep, before Kachie enters the room. Kachie tells Akira that she was actually part Kitsunei, and also that she was banished from Majikk Village when the Elder found out that she was half human. Kachie and her mother left the village together.

After that Kachie is about to tell Akira something else, heavily implied to be a confession of love to Akira, before the alarms ring and Doken tells everyone through an intercom that they are being attacked by an airborne enemy. He tells everyone to stay in their cabins and to be prepared for an emergency landing.

Kachie and Akira decide to lend Doken a hand and return to the deck, but when the arrive there they see Tara lying down unconscious. Whyp, Doken, Tadase, and Choko are all surrounding Tara. Suddenly a bunch of monsters created Leith approach the airship. Akira and everybody but Tadase fight the monsters while Tadase tends to Tara.

They all defeat the monsters, and Kachie is assigned to keep watch out for monsters.

Once they arrive in Eeon Castle, Tara is being taken care of by a nurse with both Kachie and Akira next to the bed she is lying on. The nurse says that Tara is fine, but she needs rest to recover. Kachie goes to look for Miki, Niki and Tadase.

Once Akira leaves that room, Doken approaches her and asks if Tara is fine, and Akira answered that she was. Doken then says that he will discuss with the king and queen regarding what to do with all the kitsuneis they've saved, and that while that is happening Whyp will show Akira around the city. Akira asks him where her friends went, and Doken just laughes at her while walking away. There is a possibility she goes around the castle and sees her friends doing random stuff in it.

Akira meets with Whyp outside the castle, and she can have Whyp follow her if she so chooses to show her the Eeon city. If so, they explore the city together.

After exploring teh city for a while, Whyp and Akira return to the castle where they meet Doken at the entrance. Akira asks Doken if he knows anything about how to stop the Mirrikh forces from attacking them and destroying cities. Doken just tells the two of them to meet him inside of the conference room, since he will explain there. Akira asks if she can bring her friends to the conference, and Doken obliges. Akira asks all of her friends all around the castle to join Doken's conference and one by one, they all agree to come into it.

Once the conference begins, Doken explains that Leith is a water mage and that she is from the Kingdom of Mirrikh. Choko asks Doken who was the person who destroyed Usagi Village, Aaron Brass. Doken says that Brass is an Earth Mage from Mirrikh as well. Doken says that the leader of the Mirrikh kingdom is naturally evil. This causes Akira to get angry, since Doken apparently didn't know why Mirrikh attacked everyone and kidnapped Echo.

The conference ends, and Doken tells the group that he and Whyp have a lead on a base run by Mirrikh, and that the two of them are going to investigate it. Doken clarifies that only the two of them will being going, and that everyone else is going to stay. He leaves with Whyp, even thought Kari Miki and Niki want to go too.

Akira exits the conference room, deciding that she needs to find out where Doken and Whyp are going. Kari comes out right after her, wanting to come with her. Kari reveals that while Akira and Whyp were exploring Eeon she had been spying on Doken and the King and Queen. During that, she found out that Doken and Whyp were not going to use an airship to travel there and that they were going to a beach town called Jade. After that, the duo depart together and leave Eeon.

They arrive in Eeon Passage Cave, travel through it and fight monsters. They manage to make it out of the passage, on top of a large rock hill. They see from a high vantage point Doken and Whyp walking. Akira and Kari find a way down and follow them. They make it out of the area eventually and are at ground level.

A gaint monster appears in front of the two, and Doken + Whyp see the monster and jump in to help them. Together, they kill the big monster. They have a conversation, after a bit Doken decides to let them come with him to Jade, but not the mission, and they go and arrive at Jade.

The four enter the Jade inn, and Akira begs Doken to let her go on the mission with them. doken declines and they all go sleep in bed. But later on, in the middle of the night, Akira is playing a piano in a trancelike state and Doken interrupts her, and she exits the trance. Doken tells Akira to come with her outside of the inn, and she follows him. Doken challenges Akira to a fight outside, and if she can beat him he offers that he will let her go on the mission. Akira accepts the match.

Akira beats Doken,and he decides to let Akira and Kari join on his mission, which is to infiltrate a Mirrikh factory. They go back in inn and go back to sleep. Akira wakes up alongside the rest of them, and they go take the ship and boat off away from Jade in the ocean.

On the ship Akira asks Doken about the factory, and he says that the factory is built into a small mountain where their team will scale up into it. Once they arrive at the factory, which is called a "Mirrikh Factory" they climb up the mountain and enter through one of the windows. They explore through the cavelike interior and find a guard, acquiring a key from him either through killing him or by convicing him to give it. They travel more, and enter into the true factory which is inside of the rocky cave. And it is where there is a bunch of robots, used as magical weapons, which are wandering idly and high powered Mirrikh technology.

Doken discovers a map of the factory on a screen, revealing that there are three main levels to the facility, the third one being restricted. Akira and Doken reason that the third floor is where the four of them need to arrive at to accomplish their infiltration mission.

They all fight through the fortress, until they find a mirrikh scientest named Techy Don who tells them the first two digits of what the passcode is to is. They fiind Scientist Naomi next, who tells them the the last two digits of the passcode. They use the code to enter the third level, and fight through it until they reach who Doken believes is the person who controls the factory.

Tsua has an exchange with Doken, and she then proceeds to realize who Akira is, before deciding that it doesn't matter to her and she will still defeat all of them, regardless. Tsua bets that if they beat her, she will tell them everything she knows, calling herself a victim too. After she is beaten, Tsua reveals that she doesn't have enough time to answer any of their questions. She has a bomb within her, which will explode in four minutes. Akira Whyp Doken and Kari escape the factory, posssibly evacuating some scientists as well.

All of them nad akira return to Eeon through using the ship.

### Mystery Chapter

Akira and her team arrive back in Eeon, to witness it completely under attack with monsters attacking everyone. Kachie Tara and Tadase and escort all of the civillians safely outside of the town and into the caves, before the two groups regroup with each other as two giant Metallic Spiders surround Kachie's group. Akira's group takes on one Spider, and Kachie's group takes on the other.

After destroying them, Doken tells all of the kids to go to the castle with him, since they would be safer there. As the group of four run towards the Eeon Castle, they spot a kemoneko from Mirrikh standing right at the entrance of it. Honoka comments on powerful the Eeon barrier was around the city and says that the Eeon army put up a great fight, to Prince Doken. Honkoa says that she is going to find "her", Doken says he doesnt know where "her" is, then Honoka sets the area around them all on fire while cackling. This is the moment when Akira realizes that Honoka was the one who set Teralolz on fire.

Akira gets really angry to the point that her magical powers activate again and shouts out at Honoka that she is a monster. Akira yells out that she will make Honoka pay, then Honoka figures out that Akira is in fact, "her" just from the feeling that Akira's magic emanates. Akira angry asks Honoka if she knows where Echo is, before the two enter into a fight. Soon after, Honoka says that she can't handle it anymore, and that Akira is way too strong for her to fight before trying to running away. Akira doesn't let her and continues to battle her, but not long after she loses control of her powers and passes out, letting Honoka escape by teleporting. Doken sees the guards come up to him, the Eeon guards tell him that the monsters just suddenly disappeared, and Doken tells them to go get the numbers for the outcome of this battle.

Akira wakes up later on, with Whyp watching her over. Whyp tells her that she is lucky to be alive, and that they had no idea what would have happened to her if she had continued in such a state. Akira asks what happened, asking if her friends were okay. Whyp responds that all of her friends were fine, and that there were 'limited casualties' overall. Whyp tells her that Doken sent him to watch over her while she recovers, to which she asks if he knows anything more about the attack. Whyp tells her that Honoka is the one who lead the attack, is a kemoneko from mirrikh's whose element is fire.

Akira says to Whyp that she is wants to learn how to control her bizarre powers, because if she doesn't she would only be a danger to everyone. Whyp affirms her, and tells her to rest in Eeon Castle for now, since it will be safer and its unlikely Eeon will be attacked again. Akira tells Whyp she wants to rest a bit, and Whyp then proceeds to leave to tell Doken of her awakening. Akira sighs, realizing that she will have to escape on her own. She leaves the room, and runs through the castle for a bit before she sees a girl that she hasn't seen in the castle before. Akira chases after Kasumi, until they arrive on the roof through climbing up a fireplace.

They two talk up there, after staring at the sunset outside. Kasumi, whom then Akira had no clue who she was or even her name, then talks about an idiot (Doken) she knows about who always tries to save everyone. And Kasumi says that the idiot is really nice to her, and to everyone else. Kasumi says she was to be just like him, and that there's somethin she must do to protect the people she cares about. Kasumi is then sad and says that she is the cause of the bad that are happening to everyone including Akira. Akira asks Kasumi if she is Kari due to the similarity their voices have, then Kasumi screams that she is not Kari, and then she runs away.

Akira drops down the fireplace, and says she needs to sleep before escaping at nightfall, promising to herself that she will get stronger. Akira then sleeps in the bed of the room she woke up in, only to be woken up by Queen Aria, Doken's mom. The Queen tells Akira, even though the others wouldn't want her to tell her this, that she needs to find an old friend of hers named Isha if she wants to become stronger. Queen says Isha currently operates a magic academy, teaching prestigious mages how to use their powers. Akira asks where to find her, and Queen Aria responds that the academy is across the ocean on an island. Akira will use one of Jade's ships in order to cross over towards it. Queen Aria leaves the room, and Akira leaves the castle

Just as she is about to head out Kachie Tara and Tadase come out after her, saying that they will be comign with her. Akira say she cannot bring her friends into her personal issues, but Kachie and Tadase give her a few words of wisdom, saying that she is their family and their home was never Teralolz, their home was with Akira. Akira is convinced and tells them where they will be going, and asks "Who's with me!", and the Tara say "To teamwork" and Kachie "To family" and Tadase "To friendship!". And Akira say "To Echo... and my friends who don't know when to give up!" And they all leave, together, to start their journey to find Isha and try to find out how to control Akira's powers.
