Eyecatch: Yohji and Aya
In a distant mountain range, three old people discuss recent events in Japan and Takatori Reiji. Yohji is out on a date as Omi sends him a message. Yohji leaves his date to chase after a girl who looks like Asuka. The girl's name is Kyoko and he takes her on a date. Omi sends Aya a message as his classmates discuss a recent series of kidnappings where girls are taken and burned. In the time between episodes 15 and 16, Weiss has disbanded. Aya now works for a construction company. His sister has been moved to a hospital by the beach. Sakura has been lonely since Aya has moved far away, and Omi asks Aya to visit her if he's in the area. Aya visits his sister. Birman watches from her car. Omi arrives at school and hears that his classmate, Mika, has been kidnapped. Omi is worried because he can't do anything for her. Ken is playing soccer with a group of kids when Omi sends him a message. Ken sees Chen watching him. Yohji takes Kyoko for a drive, and then to Villa White. Yohji is being followed by another car. Yohji kisses Kyoko while Botan watches. Yohji is attacked by Noi and saved when a paper crane distracts her. Noi flees and Botan chases her. Aya goes to the hospital where his sister is being kept and finds that she's gone. Her bed has been slashed with a cross. Ken walks home with three of the kids he was playing soccer with. They are almost hit by a truck, but Ken pushes them out of the way. The driver of the truck is dead and has marks on his neck that remind Ken of Chen's whip. Omi walks in the rain and thinks of Mika's kidnapping. He enters Koneko no Sume Ie and finds the other three waiting there. Each has come for their own reasons. (Mainly because of Schreient.) Botan and Birman arrive and want to regroup Weiss. Manx arrives. The kidnappers chant and Manx explains about SS, the group behind the recent kidnappings, Schreient's attacks, and Aya's disappearance. Aya is the first to accept the mission. The kidnappers prepare to light the crosses. Weiss walks in the rain to the kidnappers hideout. The flames blow out as the Weiss appears. The crosses are lit. Omi and Aya save the girls while Ken and Yohji chase the three kidnappers. Aya and Omi finish off the last kidnapper.
