Replicas and Gems

[Jack Darby]

"Repliku huh? Well since you don't know what a Off-Color is I guess that means your human, or at least like a human. Either way after I finish taking a tour around this town I plan on trying to help work with the government with my own talents by trying to use them to stop criminals."

It seemed like she was really desperate to stop criminals. Would she consider the Heartless, to be criminals though? Repliku didn't know the answer to that, because he didn't know enough about her. The clone was happy though, happy that he had made a new friend. She felt the same way about his clothes that he did. Note to self, if he ever encountered Vexen again, punch him viciously in the face for creating the horrid ensemble to begin with as yes, it was that ugly to the clone. 
"Yes, I am like a human."  said Repliku to her. "Though not entirely. I'm nothing but a pale imitation of the individual I was based off of,"   His expression darkened as he mentioned that. "Nothing more than a puppet, if Organization XIII should show up. They'd probably be able to control me... something I'm not looking forward to." 

"Well to start off, I guess I should talk about our biology, or rather lack of it, since most of our body is just like a hologram, but with mass instead of light. Our real bodies are basically just the gems on our bodies, and we can create these bodies using light energy so that we can interact with each other. We can even change the shapes or size of our bodies, but I prefer not changing my shape since I'm okay with my own appearence."

"Most of us Gems also have our own Gem Weapons that we can summon out of thin air to use in self-defense or to keep peace, but I prefer keeping my weapon, AKA this wand, in my hair since it is much quicker to grab it than to slowly recreate it. We also have a caste system and some other stuff, but that doesn't matter for now since I'm to far from the Diamonds for it to matter."

So Gems were creatures that had bodies that were actual gemstones. Their 'bodies' were Hard Light Constructs of some sort, and they possessed the ability to shapeshift at will, apparently. He'd look at her for a moment, impressed. When she mentioned that she had her own gem-weapon, and that gems could summon the gem weapons out of thin air... Repliku was impressed. His jaw dropped, but he quickly recovered and looked at her. She wanted him to choose where they would go next, but honestly he had no clue. 

When Repliku noticed a Dark Side Heartless appear, he began to panic.  "I know of one thing we should probably be doing right now. As much as it pains me to say this, we need to run! That thing is not something you want to fight... and I'm not sure I could take it.. even with the keyblade I possess...." admitted Repliku to her.  "And to top that off, we are going to need some serious firepower to even scratch that thing. Only one individual beat a Dark Side according to my memories. I don't know how he did it, and I'm not him." 

The clone of Riku knew the level of trouble they were in was one they wouldn't survive if the Dark Side went all out. Hopefully Omni had done something to make the thing more easily killed, but if not they were in for one hell of a battle. Survival dictated that they do their best to make sure it didn't get any stronger, or be able to produce Shadows and attack them with them. Either way, Repliku knew they were going to definitely have a hard time of fighting it, even if someone would be willing to help them. 

When he noticed a Shadow Stalker appear as well, Repliku facepalmed.  "Damn it. Damn it. Damn it!"  He said. "Why is fate so unkind as to unleash two of the most dangerous types of Heartless against us?!? Change of plans. We'll have to stand and fight."
