Riku Replica: Difference between revisions

Riku Replica escapes, and eventually ends up in [[Organization XIII]]'s chambers, where [[Larxene]] taunted Riku Replica over his loss. However, the replica denied any fault of this, saying that his powers had not grown enough, which resulted in her bashing him into the wall calling him "nothing but a mere toy". The Organization members later change their plans, hoping to turn Sora into their puppet and overthrow the Organization. Larxene suggested that Riku Replica's memories should be rewritten to be the same as the original's so he would become a much stronger and more useful tool. Riku Replica, upon hearing Larxene's idea, rejected it, saying that he did not need his original's pitiful memories, but all the members began to agree upon Larxene's plan. Fearing that he would lose his memory, Riku Replica assaulted Larxene. However, he was quickly knocked out and [[Naminé]] was ordered to rewrite the replica's memory.

After having his memory rewritten, Riku Replica swore to protect Naminé, and saw Sora as a threat, feeling already betrayed by him as he thought Sora didn't care for him and cared only for [[Kairi]]. At some point during the period in which he believed himself to be the true Riku, the Replica was retrieved by [[Young Xehanort]] and implanted with a fragment of Xehanort's heart, inducting him into the [[real Organization XIII]] as "[[Dark Riku]]".{{?}}<!--cite ultimania--> Once Dark Riku was defeated in the future, his heart returned to its proper place in time.{{?}}<!--cite YX's KH3D speech, RR's KH3 departure speech, or KH3 ultimania-->

Sora's first encounter with the replica confused the Keyblade master, as he believed that the replica was the real Riku. Sora managed to defeat the replica, who then escaped. Riku Replica later encountered Sora in Castle Oblivion's 8th floor, where he urged Sora to leave, as he would protect Naminé. Hoping to regain his friend, Sora offered to jog Riku Replica's memory, but nothing worked, and a fight ensued.
