~~On Destiny Islands, Riku acknowledges~~ that Riku Replica's heart had ~~sought sanctuary within~~ his ~~own~~.~~{{?}}~~

It would later turn out that Riku Replica's heart had simply gone to the [[Realm of Darkness]] after the loss of his physical body. Wandering the endless realm for over a year, the replica was about to give up holding on to existence and fade away, until he saw the original Riku being attacked by a [[Demon Tower]]. After Riku was swallowed into its darkness, Riku Replica asked Riku if he wanted help, his voice heavily muffled. When Riku asked who he was, the replica revealed his indentity and helped free Riku from the swarm of [[Shadow]]s. However, this had broken the top half of [[Way to the Dawn]] off in the process. Riku left the broken Keyblade behind for Riku Replica to pick up while he and [[the King]] returned to [[Mysterious Tower]] for stronger armaments against the Heartless.

At the Keyblade Graveyard, Riku Replica ~~combines{{fact}} with~~ Dark Riku, ~~then sacrifices~~ himself ~~as a vessel~~ to ~~leave a~~ Replica ~~body for~~ Naminé ~~to use~~.

When Riku and the King returned, they were attacked by a [[Demon Tide]] controlled by [[Anti-Aqua]]. The replica entered Riku's heart and asked if he wanted his old Keyblade back, having repaired Way to the Dawn in his absence. Riku thanked him for the offer, but told him he had [[Braveheart|his own Keyblade]].

~~{{section-stub}}~~

When the [[Seven Guardians of Light|Guardians of Light]] took a night to rest before the [[Keyblade War]], Riku sat alone on the beach. He was joined by Riku Replica, whom he knew had taken sanctuary in his heart since their last fight. The replica told Riku that there was one last thing he needed to do, which is why he held on this long.

At the Keyblade Graveyard, [[Dark Riku]] is defeated, yelling that he is the real Riku to the original's confusion; they had assumed Dark Riku was the version of himself back when [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] possessed him. Riku Replica appeared before Riku in a golden aura, explaining that Dark Riku was actually HIS past self, not Riku's. The replica plunged his fist into Dark Riku, knocking him out of [[Dark Mode]]. Realising his past heart was about to vanish, the replica merged with the vessel and pulled out his past heart. Riku yelled for him to use the vessel for himself. However, he told Riku that the world already had the original; he had no place in it. The empty [[Replica]] deserved to go to somebody else. Riku realized that Riku Replica had been keeping his promise to protect [[Naminé]]. With those final words between them, the replica accepted his fate and faded away with his past heart.
