Riku Replica

The Riku Replica's first and only apperance was in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of memories. He was created by Vexen of orgainzation 13. He was killed by the Real RIku in that same game. Begining The Riku Replica was created by Vexen to test the real Riku's power and if possible goad Riku inot turning to the darkness. However the Riku replica this early on in his life (though he looked just real Riku and had the power of darkness on his side) to be capable of defeating the real Riku. After this battle however Vexen took the replica above ground.

Sora battle's When Vexen took the Riku replica above ground to face Sora and (in the Replica's plans) to train him to be able to defeat the real Riku. However at the suggestion of Larxene the Replica's memories were rewritten to resemble the real Riku's (though the Replica objected to this idea.) The replica fought Sora four times before Namine finnaly stopped him from killing Sora after the end of the fourth battle by breaking his heart. At this moment Larxene revealed the truth. The Replica was out for a little while and did not reapear until Maeluxia was threating Namine and Sora. He aided Sora during the battle and then agreed to watch Namine while Sora Donald and Goofy fought Marluxia. After Sora told him that it didn't matter if he was a fake Riku because he had his own heart. The replica seems to have been rather touched by Sora's words. However he still had one thing left to do defeat the real Riku.

Riku Replica VRS Riku The Replica seems to have meet with Axel after this and he told him if he had more power he could defeat the real Riku. He killed Zexion to take the power he thought was needed to finaly kill Riku. However Riku's power had grown as well he now used the power of darkness with no resentment. The two fought ferociously but in the end the real Riku pervaled. In the end the replica aknowledged what he had known form the start he was just a copy and did every thing Riku did.

He is based on the Dark form of Riku (a manifestation of Ansem/Xemnas/Xehanort) that was fought against by Sora in Kingdom Hearts, and played as through Riku's story in Chain of Memories, which in this case is an entirely different entity than the Riku replica.
