Kaori's nerves are in shock. She cannot use her legs and is confined to a wheelchair. She must force herself and her legs to work, but that is far easier said than done. In practice flights she cannot operate the floor pedals though she tries gamely. The others follow her around semi- discreetly as she attempts to walk and fails. Gai finds it agony to watch her struggle. When she falls out of the chair one time and is struggling to get back in, he rushes to help her. Ryu makes him back off and encourages Kaori to try. Just then they are attacked by Toran and Gure. Ryu sends Gai to get Kaori out of the battle area. The wheelchair is caught on a train-track, but he gets them across in time.
Gure comes after them, and Gai grabs his motorcycle and collides with him, but this has little effect other than to injure Gai's hand and show that Gure can just stand up from a small explosion. They hide out in a warehouse and Kaori uses her kerchief to bandage Gai's bleeding hand. The conversation about whether or not Kaori can live being crippled generates a remark by him which leads her to slap Gai and then apologize profusely (I think he must have said "Well at least you can still have sex", or something like that). Gure almost gets them until the traffic-light monster causes a small earthquake as it frees itself from the underground cave it's been hiding out in while recovering from the last battle.
In pitched battle against Maria, Ryu discovers the Bairamu woman looks exactly like Rie. A second quake breaks the ground, and Kaori falls through the crack. Ryu catches her hand and hangs on for all he's worth. Maria takes advantage of his position and tries to strangle him with her whip, since he can't fight her and hold Kaori at the same time. Kaori finally forces her legs to work, jumping out of the crack and striking at Maria to get her away from Ryu. The team defeats the traffic-light monster by first-time formation of Icarus-Haaken.
After it is over, Kaori thanks Ryu for his faith in her. They are about to shake hands when Gai shoves his way between them, giving her back the handkerchief. Lyta asks Kaori what happened to her fiancee. She demonstrates on him. (ouch)
