Editing Replica Program

{{game|358|COM|REC}}
The '''Replica Program''' was a planned series of experiments conducted by [[Vexen]] under [[Xemnas]]'s orders, with the apparent help of [[Naminé]]. He attempted to make [[Replica]]s of [[Keyblade]] wielders [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] in the event that the original Sora proved to be useless to his plans for [[Kingdom Hearts (world)|Kingdom Hearts]]. The first replica created by the program was [[Xion]]<ref>an anagram for "No ''i''"</ref>. However, after Xion's defection and her death by [[Roxas]], Xemnas discontinued the program. In the [[Secret Reports]] it mentions [[Riku Replica|another inferior numberless replica]] that was taken to [[Castle Oblivion]]. The Secret Reports in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' also reveal the existence of other unused replicas.

==Products==
===Xion===

Xion was created by Vexen out of Sora's memories. She held these memories which would stop Sora from being able to awaken from his slumber. Xion, being made out of Sora's memories, could wield a Keyblade, something [[Organization XIII]] wanted. This would make it so Organization XIII had two among their ranks that could wield the Keyblade and collect hearts to form Kingdom Hearts. She was seen by some as only a puppet, while only Roxas and [[Axel]] called her a friend. She was destroyed by Roxas, and the program was stopped shortly after her defeat.

===Riku Replica===

The [[Riku Replica]] was created shortly after Xion was created by Vexen. He created this replica after sampling the real Riku's memories. Vexen used this replica to fight both Sora and Riku. The Riku Replica always knew he was the fake one, but always fought to get rid of Riku, what the Organization wanted. He met his demise by Riku, and was swallowed by the darkness after being defeated.
