Rep was the one facing Xemnas at this point, bangs and different body be damned. He could've simply Corridor Stepped out of the way, or jumped, or counterattacked - but he didn't. "You're in the way," he hissed, and prepped a Dark Firaga in his left hand. He held it up as the lasers approached, and then...

Sent it hurtling into Riku's side.

Of course the spell didn't hit Riku - his battle instincts were too honed by this point - and he simply jump-dodged off to Rep's right and out of the way. In doing so, however, he also got away from the impact point of the lasers.

Rep kept his arm extended, the last bits of darkness billowing away as a smirk crept onto his face.

Then the lasers hit, one after another, making Rep's body twitch in mid-air from the pain. All he tried to do was dodge up or down, not side to side, and even then by halfway through the onslaught, he was out of steam and dazed. He fell to one knee on the ground, and then the last laser hit, knocking him over on his side. Like stained glass fragments falling out of a window, Zexion's form gave way to Rep's again trailing darkness strands and data streaks all the while. His blade was nowhere to be found, and he wasn't moving at all. Then Rep's own form started to dissolve as well, in a way all too familiar to Riku.

So much for preventing another suicide-by-proxy attempt...

"No!" Riku swore under his breath, unable to look away. Fake was an idiot; there was no longer any doubt about that.To think he and who knows how many others were willing to give the ball of data and emo mode a chance to live again, then he went ahead and pulled this stunt. It was ridiculous, and something he wanted to punch Rep in the face for.

...But the lasers were doing the job for him, and now it was just a horrid reminder of what Sora would be up against once he woke up in the outside world. No. No way-

To hell with his instincts to get the hell out of dodge, soon as the second to last laser struck, he was rushing back over to Rep's side. Suicidal piece of- Riku shook the thought from his mind, letting the blindfold slip to across his neck as he knelt down next to his fake. "You idiot..."

He doesn't care if his own form begins to flicker to that of a taller man he despises with all of his being or not; all he does care about is giving the idiot hell for however long his data and darkness take to fade. For all the stupidity he'd committed in the last twenty-six days, and all the hurt his death (again) was going to cause for those who actually gave a damn.

Xemnas could feel that darkness within Riku swelling, but he chose not to comment on it. Instead, he placed a hand to his chest, checking his own well being. It was a mistake to be so anxious. So many blades at ones was not smart, but it did it's job and didn't place him in any danger. No, it would be better to say he was not put in danger, but it was not something to mimic again so soon. How odd to feel that there truly is a limit to the power of nothing.

Yet he did not leave. It was a thought that crossed his mind, but he did not flee. He just looked upon the scene and then looked away. He knew that Riku wouldn't fight him like the replication did. The least he could do was credit that Riku was far smarter than the other. However, he was not going to tempt it.
