Oh Alpha... (contains review replies and some ranting)

this is sort of referencing... uh... that one chapter at the end of the ridiculously long raid. "Things better left untouched" is I believe the chapter title

and this is also review replies *shrug* I didn't label them as that for some reason (they weren't in the doc with the other review replies)

I swear he insisted on absolutely everything he did in that chapter.

weirdo...

anyway!

review reply time~~~

right, starting with Dead Inside....

actually, starting with the Organization.

let's see... who's alive?

Xemnas

Xigbar

Xaldin

Lexaeus... is... I think he's alive. He sorta just walked out of my brain, and I have yet to find him. Maybe he went traitor and was killed... maybe he's still alive and will be showing up later. I have no idea!

Saix (what? he's alive!?! *obvious sarcasm, I hope*)

Axel

Demyx

Luxord

how many Replicas were made of each member? Hahah, it's funny, Magik has the list of all this. =P

anyway you should go to my new blog and look at the Replicas page for better/uptodate info

there are 43 Vexen Replicas total. Wait, sorry, 44. My bad.

how many Vexen Replicas are currently functioning? Not a clue. Lemme go through all the ones I've specifically mentioned though...

2 - Rebellion

4 - Disabled

5 - was rewritten, is on Saix's side

6 - we all know who 6 is

7 - Rebellion, is in charge of the Repair Program

14 - traitor. I'm not sure if he was killed or not

17 - killed by Axel

19 - you should all know where 19 is...

20 - failed shortly after creation

21 - is either on Saix's side or dead

22 - dead

23 - Rebellion

29 - with Joseph

33 - he's either rogue or dead

34 - Saix's side

37 - I would hope he's still alive...

Those are all I remember off the top of my head.

there are 24 Larxene Replicas total. Quite a few of them have been killed by now. Let's see... who's dead? C, G, N, specifically (heheh, those three letters form GCN, or Game Cube Nintendo. ... sorry...) Those are the only specifically dead ones I can remember mentioning. I know more have died, but I don't know them specifically. L is still alive (sadly). Besides that, I think S, H, and Q have been mentioned (in the chapter Magik just posted to Can't Escape, yeah?)

There are... 12 Marluxia Replicas total, I think. I've mentioned specificially: Thistle, Tulip, Amaryllis, Bloodroot, and... was there one named Snapdragon? I can't remember.

Zexion Replicas... I have no idea how many there are total. I only have to deal with Alpha. I remember mentioning Delta, but that's it. 

there are... 6 Lexaeus Replicas, I think. I also think one is dead and one is with the Rebellion. I can't name them specifically because I've never come up with a way of labeling them. *shrug*

There is also Xigbar's clone.

that's... all...

moving on!

I really like this question that Cookie asked me: "If everything works out at the end, would it be possible for him to settle down and live a regular life without being paranoid because he's not in battle all the time?" (or something to that effect. I paraphrased.)

The answer?

Fish freaking NO!

He might be able to survive a month or so before he became restless. Maybe.

here's a funny little story kinda on the subject... I have this random scene in the back of my head (I have a lot of random scenes in the back of my head) where Riku and some kid from school get into a fight. Why? Well, it was probably the kid's fault. Whatever the heck happened, they fight, and said kid gets severely injured probably because Riku lost his temper.

eh... I'm suddenly failing to see how that relates.

ah well.

ONTOASASREPLIES!!

When would that chapter have taken place if it was canon? (I'm referring to the scene where Riku and Shad fight actually Idk how I remember this)

eh, no where. It was never intended to be canon, actually. I suppose I might have confused you.... sorry... I was only making the point to say it wasn't canon because of certain things Shad said completely contradicted some stuff.

no idea where it would go, though, sorry.

as a note to how powerful Shad was in that battle, I'm pretty sure he's still that powerful now. I think he goes easy on Sora because he doesn't want to kill him because that wouldn't be any fun.

But if he seriously wanted to, I'm sure Shad could kick some serious @ss

Nope, Riku doesn't know about Shad in canon. He might learn about Shad in canon soon. I know he will eventually for sure. I'm just not sure if "eventually" comes in the next few chapters or by the end of Dead Inside.

No, Sora is not still in Olympus. I know where he'll be next, but I don't know if he did anything in between these two things (well, he probably did, I just don't know what he did)

I promise Sora will be showing up REALLY soon. I swear! There was just a HUGE snowball of events that I had to cover in Riku's side of the story, and I'm sure what's coming up for Sora is going to be just as big of a snowball. Trust me.

now... onto a ton of questions from KKBeckett (mainly because the email ended up in a seperate stack, and because you ask a lot of questions that no one else does *shrug*)

Nope, Shad did not destroy Sora's Keyblade. Sora's Keyblade just has a nasty habit of cracking when put into too close of contact with any darkness, and since Shad was holding it (making it a bit more... personal form of contact?) it was cracking very rapidly. It's not destroyed, but it probably isn't in very good shape... good thing this doesn't matter.

Yes! Bad Shad! no lightning! =D

I'm sorry that he reminded you of Ghirihim. I can see how. However, if Shad were to ever come into contact with Ghirihim, well...

Shad: who are you?
Ghirihim: The Demon Lord, Ghirihim!
Shad: okay...

(concerning some point with Ghirihim taunting Link)
Shad: oh my gawsh! You're evil!
Ghrihim: I know right? Evil suits me so well!
Shad: right... now you're freaking me out

(concerning said scene that I THINK you were referring to)
Shad: 0.o dude! What the flip is your problem!?
Ghirihim: You like it?
Shad: No! Ew! You're a creeep!

Which, funny fact, during the second battle with him, after he lands a nice hit on you(Link) he'll like... lick the "blood" off his blade. It is sooo creepy! *shudder* 

(last one here, but concerning the thing at the VERY end with his weird ritual thing)
Shad: *bursts out laughing* Ohwowduude!! You look ridiculous!

Ghirihim: Shut up! I'm trying to concentrate! Minions! After him!
Shad: Hmm... I wonder if I'm on the same plane of existence as them... (gets attacked by a Zombie Bokoblin) oh! okay! Yeah! Get the hell off of me!
Ghirihim: (evil laughter)

Shad: oh shut up! You still look ridiculous!
Ghirihim: (is offended but doesn't say anything because he's busy)

sorry...

I had to...

yeah, it mainly is just an old document. It was like... the first or second thing I ever wrote with him.

"I hate you..."
"Good!"

Yeah, he is cruel and sickening...

I love how you say Larxene is worse, though. Maybe it's because she's a girl, and girl villians tend to be just absolutely cruel. Or... eh... idk...

...

that was fun

I should go make dinner now. My little sister's complaining.
