themselves what Weiss is meant to do. Kaori, a teenage girl who attends the same school as Omi, hacks into
the American database while her brother, Akira, goes in to kill the man resonsible. Since he is trying to do
this Weiss gets a mission to destroy him. Omi, being friends with Kaori, and Ken, thinking that Akira and Kaori
