Labrys was sitting down in the back of the helicopter with the others. Yukari turned around to see Labrys was in deep thought. She started wondered if anything was wrong. She turned to Akihiko for answers hoping he had anything to shine some light. "Hey, Akihiko-senpai? What's the matter with Labrys?"
Akihiko turned and looked at Labrys for a while before turning to Yukari. "I don't know," Akihiko answered plainly.
Yukari looked at Labrys before deciding not to bother her.
Labrys slowly started appearing in her subconscious and suddenly everything went black for a while. She opened her eyes to see herself standing in front of her. "What do you want?" The other Labrys said with little emotion in her voice.
"I didn't think this would work," Labrys said as she looked around. "Anyway, I wanted to give you a proper thank you for saving me." Labrys smiled at her and Shadow Labrys stared at her before quickly looking away.
"...Whatever, I didn't do anything." Shadow Labrys said without looking at her.
"Hey, if you didn't do anything. I would've done something I would've regret."
"Yeah, whatever." Shadow Labrys started to sit on the floor while Labrys started thinking.
"What if I promised to let ya out? Would ya do anything?"
Shadow Labrys eyes widen and started at her other self. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, I'll let ya out of here. I'll try to figure something out until then I'll see you later." Shadow Labrys got up and tried to ask what her other self was talking about, but Labrys started fading away.
Labrys slowly opened her eyes to see Yukari trying to wake her up. "Hey, Labrys, wake up already."
"Huh? What's up, Yukari?" Labrys started getting up while Yukari was looking at her.
"We're at the Kirijo Research Labs now, and Mitsuru wants to check something before she drops us off."
Labrys eyes widen and jumped off the helicopter while Yukari ran after her wanting to know what made her run inside. Labrys scanned the hallways looking for Mitsuru and she turned the corner to find her walking towards her. "Mitsuru! There's something I wanna ask you!"
Mitsuru started wondering what she could want as Labrys stopped in front of her and she looked up behind Labrys to see Yukari running towards them. "So, what do you need, Labrys?"
"I'm wondering if you could... maybe make a replica of me?"
"Why do you want that?"
"Because I was wondering if you could transfer my Shadow's personality into it."
"What!? Why do you want?!" Mitsuru was surprised, no, shocked to hear that. She would never have thought something like this would be asked of her.
"It's my way of saying thanks for saving me."
"Are you sure about this? After all the things you did for us, like saving the world, we'll do it, but I just want to make sure you want to do first before we start."
Labrys started to think hard about it, after all, she knows how her Shadow better than anyone, but she did stop me from attack everyone, and Sho from doing anything else with that remote. "...I'm sure of it." Mitsuru sighed as she noticed Yukari had already arrived and she was just as surprised as she was.
"Fine, but we need to take your secondary memory core out and replace it with a new one." Mitsuru, Labrys, and Yukari walked to one of the labs. "We're going to have to deactivate you until we make you suitable replacement memory core."
"Really? How long will that take?"
"Who knows, it might take a week or a few months, but the replica might be finished by then."
"Really?! Let's start!" Mitsuru started to talking to one of the researchers before turning to Labrys.
"Alright, Labrys, get on the machine and we'll begin." Labrys hops on top of the machine and they started connecting cables to her limbs, Labrys slowly closed her eyes while everything went dark.
Labrys opened her eyes and noticed her Shadow looking at her before she spoke anything. "So... That's whatcha you're doing... Uh, thanks." Labrys walked up to her Shadow and sat down next to her.
"I thought it would be a good thank you."
"I-I guess so."
"Anyways, why am I here? I thought I was in the middle of something."
"You're pretty much human, kind of. So, you ended up here because your mind is pretty much human, which is preventing you from fully shutting down."
"Oh... if you leave from here, won't that mean you've left my body?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
Yukari watched Mitsuru as she was talking to someone on the phone. She started wondering where Aigis is for all this. Mitsuru hung up as Yukari walked up to her. "Hey, Mitsuru? Where's Aigis? Won't she be able to help?"
"She's currently getting maintenance from using her new Orgia mode during the mission and don't worry, we'll inform her once she's done with maintenance."
"Why do you think she wants to do this?" Yukari started getting worried after seeing her Shadow in the tower during the incident, it was stronger than any Shadow she faced.
"Who knows, maybe because she and Aigis are the only ones that are alive to this day."
Yukari looked at Labrys with a sad expression but, suddenly the door behind them open and they both turn around to see Fuuka walking in. "Fuuka, I'm glad you came from your rest, and I'm sorry for dragging you into this." Mitsuru apologized.
"Oh, it's okay, I like to help when I can."
"Uh... Oh yeah! I forgot you're good with electronics, and you did help Aigis when she was in trouble back in the dorm."
"Yes, I called her before we started talking."
Months Later
Labrys was currently sitting next to her Shadow while they both just sat there in silence, but her Shadow broke the silence first. Labrys looked over to her noticed that she's slowly fading into the black void. "I guess, they did it."
"What?"
"They must have finished and they're putting me into my new body."
"I guess, I'll see you soon." Labrys noticed her Shadow smiling suspiciously before fading away.
Labrys opened her eyes to see a bright room and most of her friends standing next to her. "Welcome back Labrys!" Yukari said slightly excited. "It's been quite a while since you decided to get your Shadow a body."
"How long was I out for?"
"Roughly, eleven months," Mitsuru answered.
"That long!? Wow..."
"Sister! I'm so glad you're awake." Aigis hugged Labrys.
"So... Where is she?" Labrys asked.
"She's right there..." Mitsuru pointed to the other side of the room. Labrys got up from the machine to see her Shadow lying in one of the chairs that she was attached to. Labrys stared at the replica lying on the machine and she smiled before turning to Mitsuru and the others.
"Thanks for the help guys." Labrys smiled brightly.
"Well, what are friends for?" Fuuka said. "Okay, I'm about to activate the unit," Fuuka said as everyone walked towards her waiting for any news. Labrys watched the screen carefully but she didn't really understand anything on the screen. Fuuka finished as she stopped and turned to everybody. "I finished and now, we're just going have to wait." Labrys impatiently waited for her Shadow to be awakened, but as they all waited for ten minutes with no activity until Fuuka spoke up.
"We're getting some activity!" Fuuka said after watching Shadow Labrys' expression. Labrys walked up to the body and watched it very closely, it was just like Fuuka said, her Shadow slowly opened its eyes to reveal its bright yellow glowing eyes. Shadow Labrys looked around and noticed her other self standing next to her with Aigis also by her side.
"Welcome, er, me?" Labrys noticed the same smile on her face before she came back to the real world. Shadow Labrys broke through the metal shackles with ease and sent both Labrys and Aigis flying. Labrys didn't fly as far from the hit, but Aigis slammed into the wall. Labrys fell to the ground from the unexpected hit and she looks to see Shadow Labrys standing next to the machine she was on.
Everyone noticed the evil smile on her face. "Ahahahaha!" Shadow Labrys started laughing maniacally. "You're a real idiot, ya know?" Labrys picks herself from the ground and stares at her Shadow. "Ahahaha!"
