Author's Note: Hello again! This chapter is also written by me, though I promise you, rarmaster and i will be trading off rather regularly after this. Basically, this is what would happen if Vexen found out where his Riku was. The last chapter was basically a little amusing prologue. :P Um, enjoy! Review! Laugh. Oh, and I do apologize for it's shortness... but rarmaster is handling the portion of what happens when Vexen arrives, and I don't want to mix our writings in the same chapter.
"So do you mean to tell me that my Riku is in a parallel universe?" Vexen asked in disbelief.
"Yup," came Pi's reply.
Vexen almost chided him on his lack of manners, but decided he was too interested in Riku to care.
"How can I get to this parallel universe?" Vexen inquired, tapping his fingers together in a very mad-scientiest way.
"It's easy!" Pi said, putting his hand out and forming a dark corridor.
"That simple?" Vexen asked.
Pi stuck his head through the corridor. After a couple of seconds, he pulled it back out and nodded. "That looks like the right place. There's a whole ton of Vexen Replicas milling about and I think I saw Alpha."
"Alpha?"
"That's what everyone calls Zexion there. He's a Replica too, the first one."
If Pi was telling this to anyone besides Vexen, they either would have had fifteen million other questions for him, or would have simply found this conversation strange. Vexen, however, took everything Pi said in stride and chalked what little he found weird up to the fact that it was a parallel universe they were talking about.
"If it turns out you're not in the right parallel universe, it should become pretty obvious pretty quickly. Just ask for 29 and say that Pi sent you, or something like that. If they don't know what you're talking about, just corridor yourself back here."
Vexen thought about reprimanding Pi for speaking with him so conversationally, but was still too caught up with thoughts of his Riku—which was arguably the project he was most proud of.
"How easy is it to corridor between the different universes?" he asked.
"Well, I got to the other universe without any hitch. 29 has a theory that it's because Edd travelled between our universe and theirs. He's also responsible for placing the Riku Replica in that universe. However, when I was trying to get back here, it kept taking me to the Hallow Bastion in their universe, and believe me, you do not want to go there right now because…"
However, it didn't matter, for Vexen was already gone.
