Research Report # 32: Subject 028
Given name: Irika
Original name: Kairi
Significance: Quite possibly, this experiment is even more importance than the last one. Kairi is a Princess of the Light, meaning she has no darkness in her heart, meaning she will never form a Heartless naturally. However, according to my Injection theory, that shouldn't matter. If I inject pure darkness into her heart, it should consume her and form a Heartless. This plays into the bigger picture, because it was noted by Ansem the Great in a report of his that the Hearts of Worlds have no darkness in them, as they have no negative emotions to fuel the darkness, only because Worlds have no emotions in the first place. However, Ansem was under the delusion that there was some super powerful "hidden shadow" somewhere inside the Hearts of Worlds, but the data is clear; Hearts of Worlds are devoid of darkness. And this experiment will probably reveal how the Princesses of Light have negative emotions without darkness being formed in their hearts. It is less important to my plans, more important to understanding the mechanics behind Hearts and Darkness. However, this knowledge may realize Ansem's dream: super powerful, Heartless of Worlds, though I very seriously doubt it will. Pure darkness is volatile in the relatively small amounts I am dealing with. Amassing enough pure darkness to inject into an entire worlds heart would be impossible to control.
Results: Irika has risen! She is just as dazed as Auros was, but, surprisingly, Auros (he insisted on being present through the whole experiment)has taken a great interest in Irika, and helped her climb out of the Injection Machine. As with Auros, I implanted memories from Kairi selectively, leaving out her most recent ones. I did notice one this however, and I noticed something similar with Auros. There is a small core of light leftover from the injection. The one in Irika is much brighter and a bit bigger then Auros', but it is still insignificant compared to the rest of the consumed heart. It is simply a curiosity; I must study this phenomenon further.
Conclusions: I am greatly impressed with Irika; she is faring very well with her weapon, the Mind Impaler, against Nobodies I captured. It still surprises me how much power Kairi had, and this is translated into Irika. She is on the same level as Auros is. Though one thing unsettles me: Auros is also watching her fight my Nobody gladiators and is very interested. She is fascinating to him, and she returns the interest. When walking to the Arena, I almost thought they were…flirting? I can understand that they are both unique compared to the other Heartless, so I assumed they would naturally relate to and maybe befriend each other, but this is starting to distress me. My plans have no room for a young teenage couple, and I fear it might head that direction. I may be jumping to conclusions, but considering the nature of Kairi and Sora's relationship (as I discovered from looking through their memories) I might not be so paranoid. Add to the fact that I will be sending them on missions together, and I have a serious wild card on my hands.
Irika is of the same caliber as Auros is, but still far less powerful than I. Though, speaking of their potential relationship, if they both decided they didn't need me, they could be a challenge; especially if they were smart about their superiority in numbers. Though I have great skill in one-on-one fighting, my skills with fighting multiple persons are severely lacking. This emphasizes one fact; they could be my trump card, or a large strike against me. I must watch them carefully, and keep a close eye on them. A routine of loyal Heartless should be enough to keep tabs on them. But then again, I can't attach to many Heartless to them, lest my forces here grow weak, and I need all the forces I can get here in Dark City. Besides, the missions I intend to send them on are fairly…specialized.
I have decided to invade the Realm of Light with my new warriors. They shall use their weapons, The Soul Cleaver and The Mind Impaler, to draft Heartless out of people in the Realm of Light. Though, there is one thing I do want to try before I start my invasion…I want to conduct one final test…and I know the perfect world to conduct my first field test: The Destiny Islands.
