Riku Replica: Not bad…real thing.
In the second basement of Castle Oblivion, where Twilight Town has been simulated, the replica of Riku created by Vexen, had suffered a mortal wound against the real Riku. The replica had challenged Riku, believing that by getting rid of Riku, he could finally be something more than a shadow. But he has lost. Riku Replica fell on his back, beginning to fade to darkness.
Riku Replica (RR until further notice): So…it's over. Hmph. Death doesn't frighten me. Good riddance to a phony life. *sigh* My heart…was never real. I'm sure…even what I'm feeling right now is probably all fake.
At hearing the replica lament, the real Riku couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Riku: What are you feeling?
RR: *pauses in thought* What happens when a fake dies? One…like me? Where will my heart? Will it…disappear?
Riku: It'll go somewhere. Maybe…to the same place as mine.
At this, the replica couldn't help but chuckle, even as he was dying.
RR: Hey…how original. *chuckles* Oh well. I guess…I'm just a faithful replica until the very end. But…that's okay.
And with this, the Riku Replica fades away, though the real Riku swears he can see a shadow of a smile on his face.
Riku silently decides to do the poor guy a favor. He uses an incredible amount of to summon an extra Soul Eater and sticks it in the ground as a memorial. Silently, Riku asks that the replica be able to find peace in the darkness
(In RR's mind)
RR: Is this death? Surrounded by unending darkness? To sleep in forever? *sigh* I never thought I'd say this, but this seems like a boring place to take a nap.
?: You sound just like him.
RR: What the…Who said that?!
Suddenly, out of the darkness, there was a glimmer of light. From it, a hand came, pale, but gentle. The replica couldn't tell if he was awake or if this was all in his head, but either way, he found himself reaching for the person's hand.
?: Like you, I am someone's shadow. I also wanted to become someone else, someone separate. But I went about it the wrong way. But despite what I did, I am being given a second chance. And I think…you deserve one, too.
RR would never be able to explain why, but he found himself reaching for the hand, as if he knew that he could trust it, and that it wouldn't bring him pain and betrayal, which he was sick of. Upon grabbing the hand, a warm and very bright light engulfed him. Suddenly, a few memories flashed through his mind. From his creation, to fighting Riku in the lower basements of Castle Oblivion, to Vexen offering him a chance to fight Sora, to Vexen's betrayal and Larxene attacking him. All of his memories were suddenly returning to him, real and fake, and then he woke up in a small white room, to see the face of someone he wasn't expecting in the least to ever see again: Namine.

Yet another old fanfic of mine. This one's second chapter will most likely be the next one I bring over.

Nice, I really like Repliku, is he really dead or not though? Cause in the credits you see him walk in C.O. & Axel offering to help him, or was that the real Riku?
