Man. Lea just needed a distraction. Like a million of them really. How he’d ended up screwing around at the terminal he really wasn’t even sure what possessed him but the next thing he knew he was standing in this pretty wicked data grid, decked out in like these wicked lit up pads and a dark sort of jumpsuit. THEN this big motorcycle just riddled with light appeared and he pretty greedily claimed its handles.
He’d been riding since then really, attacking whatever heartless he came across. Lea never thought he’d be the type to get himself stuck in some videogame, but this was actually pretty wicked. What was weird was that his cloak didn’t just like disappear in the data or whatever. He actually had to take it off to avoid letting it get all caught up in the cycle’s movements. He’d found some little waiting area and he’d set it in there. The place seemed pretty dead really so he didn’t think it would be disturbed.
When he’d finally had enough out there, he was heading back to the waiting area he’d set his cloak in when he noticed movement. He faltered. ”Hello?” he tried carefully.

"Hello...Axel. Do you remember me?" asked the replica of Riku as he approached him. Really he needed a better name like he had discussed with Roxas and Kairi but for the life of him he could not figure out what a good name for himself would be. Anything with an R was automatically ruled out as there were too many names with Rs in them for his tastes. Roxas and Riku were two examples of names he would not have for himself either now, or in the future. Repliku was currently picking up the cloak and trying to try it on. Unfortunately this cloak was a few sizes too big for him which meant he'd need a different one. Unfortunately it was similar to Riku but his options unless he wanted to give up Corridors of Darkness were limited. The replica was not sure if Axel remembered him. Yet why did Axel look different? There were many questions the replica needed answers to, and Axel perhaps might know them all.
The replica wished he had more of an identity than the one that had been given him. Really, at present he was nothing more than a clone, much to his annoyance.

Maybe it was his own fault for assuming nobody really used the terminal to screw around except him...but the person who drew from the dark of the waiting area was definitely not who Lea expected to run into if you could even call him a 'person.' That person greeted him and it was pretty anti-climatic bringing the red head's brow to raise. Most would have mistaken this guy for Riku just by looking at him, and maybe it was just that Lea had an advantage in having been around since his creation...well Axel had been anyway. But, it probably had more to do with the moment the guy opened his mouth. He was just...well to put it as nicely as Lea was capable, he was awkward. Maybe it was that he was out of touch with people and not around the Nobodies enough to figure out how to socializeLea let out an uncomfortable 'heh heh' his gloved hand moving to scratch at the back of his head.
"Yeah...sure bud..." Lea managed to sing out uncomfortably his palms out on either side of him in a bit of an elaborate shrug. "What're you doin with my cloak there?" Okay, like maybe he was a jerk for it but like, Lea was coming to understand that maybe...just maybe he REALLY didn't like someone touching his stuff, and maybe just maybe a spark of embers danced along his eyes and his cheeks as he as his question with just a bit more of a harsh tone than he intended to. "Also it's 'Lea' now. Got it Memorized?"

"The name's Repliku, got it memorized?" asked Repliku, mimicking the speech patterns of the individual with a sarcastic element to his own voice. People said that imitation was the "sincerest form of flattery" but Repliku was not convinced that it honestly was. Still he was going to emulate that form of flattery, and put it to use for his purposes. If it was indeed the sincerest form, Lea should enjoy it, correct? At least, Repliku hoped so. "As to what I am doing with your cloak, I am using it to better my fashion sense since acquiring the cloak from the other location was not that easy," muttered the replica as he looked at Axel. "Plus given that some of your... old associates have began to... vex me, I require this cloak to help me prepare myself for the future." groaned the replica of Riku. "Not my fault your coat is the only one readily accessible that does not have a king, nor a psychotic, insane woman who fires lightning bolts at you for no reason whatsoever, and is probably planning something involving Namine... again." groaned the replica of Riku. Really, he didn't want to deal with the insanity possessed by Larxene any more than he had to.

Lea's raised brow of confusion became a narrowed glower at clearly being mocked. Funny, Lea didn't think Vexen's play thing had that in him. He wasn't impressed at all. So, 'Repliku' was what the guy was gonna call himself apparently. Fine. Didn't make a difference to Lea really. Lea was about to snap at this Repliku about his hold on Lea's cloak. It was kinda weird, Lea didn't really think he was that attached to it. All it seemed to do was draw in the worst sort of attention...but like, it was his. For all the trouble that Organization put him through, and for everything he'd thrown back in their face, it just seemed appropriate to bear that cloak in like an ironic way? Or maybe Lea just liked that the lesser nobodies still left him alone for the most part. That some of Lea's former 'associates' had given this Repliku trouble didn't surprise him in the slightest...after all this guy was one of Vexen's greatest mistakes so it would stand to reason that Even would be putting effort into erasing that mistake. That was Lea's assumption anyway...but then the guy was going on about a lightning bolt woman and Lea straightened his posture.
There was no way that it was possible. "Well. Tough break, man. That's mine and you can't have it." Lea pointed at the cloak before flipping his palm up and making pretty obvious 'give it here' gestures. "And...if you're talking about Larxene, she's dead. She has been for a long time."

"About that... She's back." muttered Repliku. The replica was not happy that Larxene was back. Were she not, he would not have the headache that was bugging him at present because Larxene had not stayed out of his hair. "And fine. But I need one of them, in order to improve my...fashion." He gestured at the hideous dark suit that he wore. Even though it appeared to be digital, Repliku still wished to burn the suit with fire. Obviously though, he could not do so. There were many reasons why not. "To make a long story short, I needed a black coat to replace the hideous outfit that you see me wearing, Lea. Sorry if it came across as mocking, trying to find a speech style for myself that is unique to me. Yours unfortunately is not a good fit." Repliku groaned as he handed off the coat. "I really did need your coat because Corridor of Darkness and wanting to burn the outfit I have on now."

Lea folded his arms over his chest. This Repliku claimed that Larxene was back and Lea really wasn't sure what to make of that or how to even feel about it. Like, he supposed that if she was like him and just trying to get through life and cope with the horrible things that being a part of the Organization once meant, then more power to her he guessed...but Lea really never trusted the evil little thunder nixie and he wasn't about to start either. As the guy continued talking though, Lea was starting to think that maybe he should just take everything said with a grain of salt. He was a programmed thing after all and a pretty socially inept one. Maybe what was left of Vexen's project was running on old memories, left over data from way back when in Castle Oblivion. It would make sense for it then to be a bit brain fried on the whole Larxene thing.
The Riku clone continued to explain his reasoning behind coming around and taking the cloak and Lea found himself about to fall over with disbelief. He was really that concerned with the design of his clothing...or the way he talked? An identity wasn't something you could just shop for and craft was it? "Yea...Well...I'm sort of the last guy that would be able to get you one." he started in awkwardly. "But like, I guess I get it. Vexen really didn't spare you the ugly stick did he?" Maybe that was mean, but Lea's patience was getting a little thin. "Anyway, the cloak...now..." he held out his palm toward the guy a brow raised. This wasn't funny.

Groaning, the Replica handed over the coat. While part of him was really against this because Larxene was still on the loose and he had yet to discover a way to deal with her it was for the best. Better not to tick out a Fire Elemental when he already had an electrical one to deal with somehow. "Fine. You have your coat. Just so you know, Larxene is in The Castle That Never Was. If you don't believe me, you can check there. I would not recommend it though as you will likely get blasted, or nearly blasted depending on your ability to dodge attacks that are headed your way."
"Looks like I'm back to the shopping market to try and find an outfit for myself that is not aesthetically an eye sore." spoke the replica as he groaned. "And still trying to get my hands on a Keyblade or a simalcrum of one so I stand a chance against her." Hopefully the Keyblade should he be able to get his hands on one would allow him to achieve his goal, which was her defeat. Whatever plans she had probably involved Namine, and he really didn't want to deal with those plans coming to fruition. More importantly he knew he needed to get stronger. "Say, would you be willing to teach me to fight properly?"
Since all he had were his dark blasts he knew he needed more power. If he was to defeat whatever scheme they had. As it stood he could not handle the plans Larxene was cooking up. Given they probably involved Namine he needed to get better, stronger and faster. He also needed to be ready to cause them a disaster.

Much to Lea's relief, the crazy clone did finally hand over Lea's cloak. The red head didn't even hesitate to throw it on. Granted here on the grid it was kind of unnecessary as it was sort of just an extended program of itself...or something. Yeah, Lea wasn't about to start pretending to be tech savvy. If he were, poor Roxas wouldn've spent nearly as much time in a Twilight Town simulation as he had.
Repliku went on to reiterate that Larxene was around and right where Lea last left her and he was even invited to check if he didn't believe him. The truth was it was easier not to believe him...but Lea couldn't deny that icy chill he was getting at the base of his spine. Larxene wasn't someone Lea was sure he wanted to mess with right now.
Then...the guy asked if Lea could help train him. He'd played 'the teacher' before but he was so different then from what he was now. If he was being honest with himself? He'd spent more than enough time away from the tower. He was supposed to be training for his Mark of Mastery...but something was just...holding him back. It was hard to explain. "Don't think I'm qualified. I'm kind of a student myself..." there were some interesting sounds echoing out behind him on the grid. Digital Heartless were appearing at rapid speed. "Well...maybe one lesson?" he offered grinning wickedly out just itching for a chance to hop back on that cycle.

"Very well. One lesson should get me down the path I need in order to getting enough power to teach Larxene how I feel about the plans they have that they involve Namine," said the replica of Riku as he looked at the person who was going to train him. Axel no Lea was going to be an invaluable asset in training him properly to use the power he had so that he could hold his own. Lea did want to keep his coat which was a shame unfortunately. "Heartless should be an interesting test of what little I can remember of my combat abilities, including the new one I've been working on." said Rep.
He then asked. "How could I get myself a keyblade?" The keyblade was a weapon that Kairi had impressed him with. It's ability to be summoned surpassed that of the blade wielded by Repliku. It was a blade that he despised. A hand me down from Riku that he wanted to get rid of. Much like his clothes, all he had except for the Dark Blast were hand me downs. This could not stand in his opinion.

Much to Lea's chagrin, this Riku imposter went on about Larxene's plans involving Namine. Lea just didn't think he could put much stock in what the guy was saying. It was hard to say why really. He asked about the keyblade and Lea sighed to himself. Hadn't he wondered that very same thing once? "You really don't." he replied with a shrug. "I guess it's the difference between 'wishing' and 'hoping.' The keyblade ultimately decides."
Why was this guy askin him anyway? It wasn't like Lea had 'keyblade wielder' stamped to his forehead or something. Had he flashed the keyblade and not remembered it? Unlikely. Lea lead the way back to the cycling track where two light cycles drifted out of the floor for them. Lea grabbed one and straddled it waiting for this guy to the same. "Whenever you're ready." he said before the cycle roared to lied and he beamed off at ridiculous speed. On to the track. Dude wasn't the most ideal hangouts peep but at least the day was a hair more interesting anyway.
