Oh hey a lak-oh okay this is happening.

*He was about to get a closer look at the lake, but he is suddenly grabbed by his own replica. Kazuya listens to him apparently unfazed, but his eyes show...something else. Regardless, he keeps smiling*

"I don't care about other people"? "My true sentiment"? "Avoid my problems"...?
*looks at the replica for a moment, before turning back to a lake*

Don't worry about it too much. You'll probably get this under control soon enough. And if not, it'll just cause you more stress to think about it. Though, I mean. I guess working on anything important will cause stress.
*Kalib also moves to sit by the lake.*

Oddly enough, I agree with Gamma.
Ene
*Continues to stare at the lake*

I can't help but be worried about this issue.

*She picks up a stone and skips it across the lake*

These replicas just continue to appear without my awareness. If they really are linked to my emotions then when will this ever stop.
*glares at Klib*

Shouldn't you be helping Kaz? Oh, or maybe stabbing your friends. Based on my hospital visit you seemed really good at that.

*his gaze softens as he turns to Ene*

If they're supposed to be linked to emotions, they probably won't. I mean, you can try to get rid of that stuff, but it only works for so long. In the end, they end up coming back.
Ene
(Angered at Kazuya's lack of response the replica starts to shake him roughly. The replica's eyes begin to turn bright red in color and his frown turns into a maniacal grin.)

Replica Kazuya: Since your so pathetic maybe I should take over your role in this world. I'm sure that you won't be missed once I become the new Kazuya.

*Kalib thinks for a moment before pulling out a small bag of wrapped candies from a pocket and tosses them to Ane.*

Here, their the ones you like. Stop worrying, you have friends who are here to help, remember that.
*Flinching at Gamma's comment.*

That wasn't me...
It may as well have been you Klib. You were too weak to stop it. And you were the tool by which it occured. But honestly, I'm not here to beat you down. I just needed to think about some things.
*turns back to the lake*
Ene
Great so i'm stuck with randomly generated replicas.

*She aims to eat one of the candies only to suddenly drop it*

*Pain explodes within her head*

Guys...my...head...

*She screams in agony*

Geez, you can't even answer a simple question like that? Are you really me...?

*He sighs with annoyance and a tint of sadness. He then grips the arm of his replica and glares at him*

Then "Me", tell me what I really feel, what do I really believe in?
Shit!
Ene!
Not now Gamma!

ANE! What's wrong!?
*turns to Ene, and grabs her*
I knew this was a bad idea, though I thought I would be the one disturbed if anything. Just calm down, we can stop this simulation, don't exert yourself.
Ene
(The replica snarls and attempts to pull out his arm from kazuya's grasp.)

Replica Kazuya: I don't have to prove shit to you cause i'm about to become the real Kazuya!

(The free hand of the replica suddenly generates electricity and the replica attempts to grab Kazuya at the throat with it.)

Replica Kazuya: Feel my wrath!
Ene
*Her screams soon fade leaving her unresponsive*

*She becomes limp in Gamma's hold*

Dammit!

*Kalib gets up and marches towards the RepliKaz.*

Hey shit head. It's about time you knocked it off.
What the...!?

*His replica manages to grab him by his throat, and is hit with the entire force of the electricity. Kazuya screams in agony and then kicks his replica, attempting to get away from it.*
*attempts to find a place to lay Ene, but soon realizes there's nothing nearby*

W... Well, this is awkward. I... I guess, if she's out.
*tries to arrange himself so Ene can lie more comfortably*
*Kalib cocks his right arm back before punching the RepliKaz in his smug face.*

Eat shit.
Ene
(The replica gets pushed back Kazuya's kick but he does not seem the least bit fazed by it. He instantly moves to close the distance between the two again all while keeping on his smile.)

Replikaz: This only serves to prove that I am the superior Kaz.

(The replica gazes at the fallen Ene.)

Replikaz: Even if my creator does not realize it yet she made me for the sole purpose of replacing your worthless human existence. Kazuya to her you are nothing but a replaceable pawn in a greater game and in other to win she needs stronger pawns like me!

(The replica takes the punch but continues to march toward Kazuya with an electrified arm out.)
Ene
*She continues to remain motionless*

*Kalib stands shocked for a moment.*

Bullshit! I don't buy that for a second! Kaz, let's teach YOU a lesson!
*His expression turns serious as his body is engulfed in violent blue flames. A giant sword appears behind him.*

You say you're stronger, and yet you're nothing but a pale imitation, nothing but a tool.

*His Persona quickly attempts to slash at Replikaz*

Someone like you will never beat me.
*he goes back to staring at the lake, a little embarrassed, but also sad*
You know what they say, sometimes what you need and what you want are different. I.. I have to do something. I know that much.
Ene
(Kaz's persona manages to slash through the replica's torso. However the wound quickly dissapears as the replica's body manages to heal itself. The replica smiles throughout this entire situation.)

Replikaz: Oh but I think I can beat you with little to no effort. After all I have as many lives as my creator chooses to give to me. If you kill me I will simply continue to respawn and fight.

(The replica then charges at Kaz with it's outstretched electrified arm. It attempts to grab Kazuya by the arm.)
Tch. Leo, we'll provide support. Here come the buffs, SPARTAN ROAR!

*The spectral spartan lets out a war cry and bathes Kaz in a prismatic light. ATK/DEF/SPD up.*
Ene
*Her eyes suddenly open glowing an unnatural shade of red*

*However she still appears to be unresponsive*
*he continues staring out into the lake for a few moments, before finally looking down and noticing Ene*

T.. That can't be good. Come on Ene, I think you need to wake up.
*gently shakes Ene*
*Runs back to Gamma.*

Oi, what's going on?
*Kazuya smirks as he takes the hit with his right arm. He winces at the electricity*

Then beat me, come at me with all you have, because if you don't you will regret it...!

*He turns to Kalib, still not moving an inch*

Kalib, focus on helpin Ene and Gamma, I got this!!

*Kazuya nods at Kalib with confidence. Kusanagi swings at incredible speeds at Replikaz, attacking with Vorpal Blade. He attempts to go for the arms and legs.*
*quickly turns to Klib*
Back off. I don't need you going nuts again, most certainly not now. Just give it a moment, I'll see what I can do. For now, just focus on helping Kaz, or maybe walking to the bottom of the lake for all I care.
*Kalib sighs.*

Listen to me you arrogant fuck. Look past your god damn shitty self for one fucking second and accept someone else's help. I got past that infection, and I don't really care to have you bring it up every time we're in the same room. But if you have a problem with me trying to help a friend, then that's too fucking bad, 'cause I'm going to do whatever I can for my friends. Do I make myself clear?
Ene
(In his wild charge the replica is unable to defend himself so vorpal blade manages to slice off all his limbs. Just like last time the limbs grow back but at a slower rate then before. The replica quickly gazes at Ene.)

Replikaz: Creator if you could please provide me with a weapon it would be much appreciated. After all I wish to win this boss fight just for you!

(A sword instantly appears in the replica's hands. The replica then lights up the sword with electricity and slices at Kazuya's torso with it.)

Ene
*Her eyes continue to remain open and glowing*

*A glowing card appears in her right hand*

*She still remains unconscious*
*laughs*
Yeah, yeah, "I fight for my friends" and all. Well, if you didn't notice, I have this situation under control, and you just left Kaz, who is actually in danger, to fend for himself. Aren't you such a great pal? Take the hint, and get out of here. I didn't come here to fight, and I still don't plan on it, but if you insist I'm more than capable.
*looks at the card*
This crap? I swear to god, I'm going to destroy Hubris for what he's done. The issue is, how can I take that way without getting affected myself?
You have this under control?! Are you serious right now?! How up your own ass can you get!?

*Kalib notices the card.*

Well then...this isn't going to be easy...
Boss fight? Now that's just lame!

*He barely manages to dodge the attack, but the slow grow back of his Replica gave him enough time to react*

That was close...but if it's sword fight that you want, then I'll give you one!

*He unshealts his sword with his left hand, and holds it in a reverse grip. His right hand is now broken, so he's at a disadvantage now when it comes to melee. Regardless, Kusanagi overlaps with his sword and Kazuya rushes at his Replica, going for a horizontal slash*
Hmm... Should I risk Hacking into her systems?.....
Ene
(The replica attempts to block the horizontal slash with his blade. He manages to take away some of the power behind the strike but his arms still get sliced in the process. The slices heal but at a much slower rate then the previous two heals.)

Replikaz: This boss fight won't be as lame once I the hero manage to kill you the villain.

(He pushes against Kaz's sword with his own electrified one. Electricity slowly begins to transfer to Kaz's sword.)

Replikaz: Why don't you be a good antagonist and just die already so I can have by moment!
Unless you think you can actually help Klib, I'd suggest backing away quickly. I'm not the most careful when it comes to Persona usage, and you don't seem to have any good ideas.

Slice it to ribbons, Shiranui, Hassou Tobi.
*Gamma holds Ene closer as a blue flame appears, coursing around the two and leaving a long, scaly body in its wake. After a few loops the flame ends in the head of an eastern dragon, which bears its claws to slice at the card and the area around it. Gamma covers Ene during the attempt to destroy the card.*
*pulls out grimoire*
Lets help a bit.
You think that's going to stop Hubris? Unlike you I've dealt with this card before. It feeds off of her pride, basically a shadow, and until we get her to accept that, then there's nothing we can do about this Superbia card.
*starts searching through Ene's program, being sure NOT to touch anything that would affect her, and runs a diagnostic trying to find an error*
Ene
*The card is unharmed by Gamma's persona*

*The card appears to glow even brighter afterwards*

*She let's out a pained moan*

*Kazuya takes a good amount of damage due to the electricity. He backs away as fast as he can and shealts his sword once again*

How foolish of me...of course that would happen...!

*It takes him a moment to catch his breath.*

All I can do now is attack with Kusanagi, keep my distance...

*He types slowly on his COMP and a big, demonic dog is summoned to the field*

Hey Pascal...care to help me out for a bit?

*Cerberus lets out a terrifying howl and Kazuya prepared Kusanagi to act as a shield, taking advantege of the gigantic size of its blade*
*glares at Klib*
At least I'm trying SOMETHING, all you're doing is standing around giving speeches about how precious your friends are. You're worse than useless, because you can help, and have reason, yet decide to just sit back and watch anyways. How can you claim to care when you won't even act when something happens.
*begins to cradle the unconcious Ene*
come on, come on. You're gonna be ok, just calm down. Everything will be ok.
You don't think I know how powerless I am? Fun fact, I do. And the only idea I have is risky...

*Kalib winces.*

Ane, you need to bring out Superbia.
*he looks at the card for a moment*

I... I mean it is just there.. Maybe.. Superbia can be transferred, right?
Ene
(The replica simply raises an eyebrow and laughs.)

Replikaz: Really you think a mangy mutt will be able to stop a hero like me. No wonder my creator wants to be rid of you so badly. Your just too stupid to win the game!

(The replica charges at Kaz with his electrical blade positioned in front of him. This time he aims to strike for Kaz's head.)
Gamma, don't do it.
Effit.

*casts Eigaon at The Replikaz*
Klib, before I do anything stupid. I want you to promise me something. There's a kid, name's Akari. I want you to give her these.

*takes out an old cell phone and a note, attempting to hand them to Klib*

Or, maybe give it to someone who can. They won't be seeing me for a while, either way. At least this way I can do something before I leave.
Ene
*Her hand holding the superbia card twitches for second*

*But other then that she still remains unresponsive*
Heh, looks like even Gamma can care about people.
You're an asshole. I hope you know that.

*Kalib grabs the note and the phone.*

I hate that I couldn't see eye to eye with you. I'm sorry about that Gamma. But, I promise.
Well, here goes nothing. Then.
*grabs the Superbia card*
Apologize to Ene for me, once she's concious again.
So...You wish to take Superbia for yourself...
I'll allow it, but only under certain conditions...
Tch. Fine, but you'd better apologize once we save your ass. Understood?
*Kusanagi launches forward, making sure it takes Replikaz's hit. After this, Cerberus makes his way behind their opponent and, with a quick jump in the air, it attempts to attack with God's Hand*

We'll see who's the best player!!

*Kazuya then rushes in to headbutt his replica*
Give me your conditions Hubris, just cut to the chase so we can get this over with.
*appears infront of Hubris in a puff of bone dust*

So this is the gos Hubris who kicked Hunter's ass. I was expdcting you to be bigger to be fair.
You will take on all of this girl's pride as well as your own and you must give Superbia complete control.
I have one condition of my own. Superbia can't make me harm Akari or Ene, ok? You wanted to improve people, so you shouldn't mind giving one or two people immunity, right?
Very well...Harm isn't my intent in the first place. Now you shall become a vessel of Pride!
*The card shines brightly as Gamma reaches towards it*
Hey Hube, Can we talk?
Then I accept your deal
*grabs the Superbia card, and promptly collapses*
*Kalib moves over to Ane.*

Hey, c'mon wake up...!
What do you have to talk about with me...?
Ene
(God's hand does severe damage to the replica leaving him with all sorts of wounds and lacerations around his body. The wounds heal slower then they have before leaving the replica unable to stand. Kaz's headbutt knocks over the grounded replica.)

(The replica doesn't even have enough time to say anything before he fades away.)

Ene
*Her eyes stop glowing and they close*

*The hand that once held superbia hangs limp*
You say you want to Improve people, You told me you were trying to save us, What are you trying to save us from?
Dammit! Ene! Please! Wake up!

*Kalib begins tearing up.*
*Kazuya lets out a big sigh as he sits down, Cerberus sits down next to him and they look at eachother*

Good job partner...!

*He pets him before standing up and walking to where everyone was*

Is it over...?
I was unaware of the deal my father made with...my brother...but a similar deal was made with me...If all become Superbia then all would be an ally and thus could join us in the new world...
It seems I overestimated humanities will for self-preservation...but I'm not going to surrender...I must be a savior.
Ene
*She begins to shift*

*Her eyes twitch*
Hmm, Thanks for telling me, I understand much better now...
I will not let Ira's loss be in vain...
*Hubris vanishes in a flash of light*
*Kalib shakes her gently.*

E-ene?
Ene
*Her eyes slowly open revealing two blue orbs*

*She yawns*

Is it morning already?

*Tears begin falling down Kalib's face.*

Yep! It's morning! Time to get up sleepy head!
Geez man, you're so sensitive...!

*He puts his hands in his pockets and smiles at the scene, and even Cerberus looks happy. Then they walk towars Gamma and kneel in front of him*

Still...
Ene
*She rubs her eyes*

Aww but I still feel kind of tired.

*Notices Kalib's tears*

*Tilts her head in confusion*

Why are you crying?
*Kalib blushes.*

I- was scared we lost you...
Ene
*Continues to look at Klib*

*Her eyes appear to be lacking in something*

I still don't understand.

Why would you bother worrying about someone as annoying as me?
*Kalib is shocked by the statement but realizes what happened.*

A-annoying? Don't you mean perfect Ene?
Ene
*She gives a weak smile*

No I just mean annoying.

I'm nothing but a useless AI.
*Fuck. Yep...that's all Kalib is thinking right now.*

Don't be ridiculous! You're amazing Ene!
Ene
*She looks at the ground*

You don't really have to lie to make me feel better.

Even an idiot like me knows that I suck.
Ene
(The clearing around them suddenly fades leaving behind the shop.)
*Kalib looks away, before looking her right in the eyes.*

Ene. Every single time I'm with you, it's always a fun adventure! You can make such amazing recreations of worlds and people! You're always happy and confidant, and that made me jealous of you. But more than anything Ene....I....uh...

*Kalib blushes and looks away.*

I think you're perfect. I'm not lying. I'm being honest right now.
Ene
*Tears begin to form in her eyes*

I don't know how I managed to trick someone as nice as you.

*She sniffles*

I'm sorry but I am not the kind of person you think I am. Hell I'm not even a human being but an AI with no hope for the future.

*She hugs her knees*

*Whispers*

I don't deserve any of your feelings.
*Kalib hugs Ene.*

Tricked or not. I care about you. So don't worry about the small stuff, okay?
Ene
*She cries into Klib's chest*

You really are a dummy for caring about me.

*Her hand clench into fists*

You'll end up regretting the decision just like everyone else has it's only a matter of time.
*Kazuya and Cerberus look at eachother awkwardly before leaving, he just waves at them as he walks out*
*He pats her head.*

You can electrocute me all you want if that day ever comes. Which it won't. I promise. I still have to help you get rid of that infection too, don't forget.
Ene
*She tries to wipe away her tears*

*While giving a feeble smile*

If you so determined to be stuck with me then go ahead.

*She looks directly in Kalib's eyes*

I will hold you to that promise.

*He smiles and looks down into Ene's eyes.*

You and me both!
Ene
*She passes out*

*Light snoring can be heard from her*
*Kalib picks her up and brings her to the couch.*

Sleep tight Ene. I'll make sure to save you.

*Kalib leaves the shop.*
