'''Chapter 19: What Became of the Researcher Vexen''' is the ninteenth chapter in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts II|manga}}'' manga.


==Story==
==Synopsis==
[[Xaldin]] is shocked to see [[Vexen]], thinking he has been eliminated at [[Castle Oblivion]], and assumes he is after revenge on [[Organization XIII]]. However, Vexen reveals he is not the real Vexen, but rather a replica of Vexen, created to continue his research. Xaldin attacks him, claiming all the research they need has been completed. This angers [[Vex Replica No. 44]], who freezes Xaldin and shatters him. Afterwards, he walks through the city, vowing to discover the deepest secrets of the heart. In the castle, the remaining members of Organization XIII discuss Sora's movements and Xaldin's absense. One of the members volunteers to head out to recruit more members.
In The World That Never Was, Xaldin runs into Vexen. Xaldin questions the existence and motives of Vexen, originally thinking the scientist to be gone after the events at [[Castle Oblivion]]. Xaldin's suspicions are confirmed when Vexen asks the whereabouts of the other Organization XIII members sent to Castle Oblivion. With their cover blown, the Vexen before Xaldin claims to be "an heir to Vexen's memories," and a result of one of the man's experiments: Vex Replica No. 44. The replica explains that Vexen created copies of himself in order to preserve and continue his research. To his knowledge, there are forty-three other replicas in existence, though No. 44 does not know what became of them. Xaldin informs No. 44 that all of the members sent to Castle Oblivion were eliminated. Furthermore, Xaldin disputes the replica's motives, instead surmising that the replica seeks revenge on Organization XIII. Xaldin attacks the No. 44, affirming that the researcher nor his work are needed anymore. No. 44 retaliates, claiming there is still much to learn on the nature about [[hearts]]. After successfully freezing Xaldin, No. 44 leaves, determined to discover the deepest secrets of the heart.


[[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] arrive in [[The Land of Dragons]], where they come across a campground. At the campground, [[Li Shang]] attempts to train his soldiers. As Sora, Donald, and Goofy are watching the activity, [[The Emperor's Adviser]] spots them and sends them to train. As Sora walks through the camp, [[Mulan]] slips when climbing a pole and falls on top of him. Once the training is over, Sora, Donald, and Goofy head to a nearby lake to take a bath. When they arrive, Sora spots Mulan as she undresses.
At the [[Castle That Never Was]], several Organization XIII members meet at Where Nothing Gathers. A [[Dusk]] reports that Sora has left for the next world. Xemnas acknowledges the importance of each member, and instructs them not to die before completing the Organization's main objective. As the meeting adjorns, Xigbar is dispatched to follow Sora.


==Worlds and characters==
Elsewhere, Sora, Donald, and Goofy successfully land in The Land of Dragons. They make their way through the encampment, watching afar as the soldiers train. Chi-Fu notices the trio standing by and orders them to resume training. While training, Sora literally bumps into Ping, who initially apologizes but quickly changes tone, instead telling Sora to simply "spit on it." Once the day's training is over, Sora, Donald, and Goofy head to a nearby lake to clean off. As they near the lake, they unexpectedly run into a naked Ping.
