Selvian and Sierra followed me back to the shop where they said the vessel was being advertised. However, when we arrived at the shop, the sign was no longer there.

Selvian: "It's gone?".

Karla: "Nope, I just think Xalkra made the sign vanish so we'd forget about it and then she could have it".

Selvian: "You are an intelligent one Mistress B".

Karla: "Equal matches of intelligence. I believe these dark beings have actually been created to match our behaviours, but in an opposite way. Yet, our foes are not known as replicas".

Sierra: "You'd better go and buy it before she does".

Karla: "That's a sound idea".

As I left Selvian and Sierra outside and went into the shop to purchase a vessel.

Karla: "I mean seriously, who's making a profit off this drug material?".

Shopkeeper (male): "Ah, excuse me? Don't touch that. It's fragile".

Karla: "I know what to do with this thing, I've seen it before".

Shopkeeper: "That's fifteen-hundred ma'am".

Karla: "You raised the price!?".

Shopkeeper: "No, it was always that much".

Karla: "Of course it wasn't you dong, now hand over the vessel".

Shopkeeper: "We don't give our products to rude customers".

Xalkra: "Oh, sorry um, could I please have that vessel instead? I can give you eighteen-hundred for it if you like".

I was dumbfounded to notice that Xalkra had come in after me; we were being watched this whole time even though I thought she was giving up.

Shopkeeper: "Sure, it's all yours. And because you asked nicely, you get a three-hundred munny discount".

Karla: "You've got to to be kidding me!".

Xalkra: "What was that about not setting expectations and letting life take it's course?".

I held my mouth wide open in shock as I watched Xalkra walk out of the shop with the vessel, realising that her and the shopkeeper may have been holding a deal this entire time. On the outside, Selvian and Sierra gasped as Xalkra walked slowly and in a 'swervy' fashion to show off her newest collectable.

However, when all seemed lost, a miracle happened. Repliku's soul reappeared and did not hesitate to fly into the vessel. However, originally thinking he would be an easy claim, his behaviour came as totally unexpected to Xalkra. The words he uttered, deep and slow:

Repliku: "Leave my replica's dreamer alone".

As he then shot a punch straight in Xalkra's face, knocking her back and at the same time, freeing himself from her clutches. As Lexavnis and Serrixa ran to try and capture him, he immediately summoned his 'Way To The Dawn' keyblade and barred them from him, eventually swinging it outwards to throw them into Xalkra. Xalkra begged as she tried to get up.

Xalkra: "Riku! Cooperate with me please!".

Replika: "I'm his replica. And you've done nothing to help".

Xalkra: "Just please...".

Lexavnis: "Mistress, Xemnas said your weaknesses is trying too hard. Let's go home and think up another strategy".

Xalkra: "Ok fine, have it your way Repliku. I've not only been battered once today but twice!".

After feuding with the shopkeeper and causing to storm into the back office, I walked out of the shop myself to see Xalkra and her teddies gone and Repliku standing somewhat over my teddies as to shield them. As soon as he saw me though, he got out of his leaning posture and approached me.

Karla: "I'm sorry for all the trouble you had to go through to get here".

Repliku: "No, I'm sorry you had trouble getting the vessel".

As Repliku put a hand on my back, he suggested we go back to Namine's mansion to plan our next move.

Karla: "I think Namine's looking forward to seeing you".

As I mentioned Namine's name, I could actually hear Repliku's heartbeat pick up in pace.
