Amegakure

Pain and Konan had made their way back safely to Amegakure. They met Tobi there, all of them standing in the rain.

"I was not aware Hidan and Kakuzu had been given a mission. Are you trying to usurp my authority… Madara?" Pain asked.

"Hmm, so you know who I am… You're not as blind as I thought. Yes, Hidan and Kakuzu are on a mission. Don't worry though, they're only working towards the downfall of the Organization. I have no quarrel with you," Madara replied. "(at least not yet)" he thought.

Pain seemed to accept Madara's statement walked on. Konan follow in suit, but kept an eye on their backs. Madara watched them go, making no move towards them. He then warped away.

Vexen's Quarters

"Replica No. 4 is ready to be awakened, Zexion." Vexen said with pride. "I called you here for its awakening."

"Have you still not thought of a name?" Zexion asked.

"No, I have. Its name shall be Xiver."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"My secret I'm afraid," Vexen said as he moved over to the controls in front of the tank.

He put in a command and there was a hiss from the tank as it opened and met the outside air. Xiver walked out in a daze and stumbled once he was on the floor. He looked like Itachi, but had brown hair and blue eyes.

"I modeled his looks after our prisoner," Vexen explained. "Rise Xiver. It is time to fulfill your duty as my creation. Your duty to destroy Akatsuki."

Xiver pulled himself up and took Samehada from the stand next to the tank. He then stood at attention before Vexen. Vexen grinned.

"You will be outfitted with one of our cloaks immediately," Vexen said.

"I must admit Vexen, I am impressed," Zexion said.

"It's only natural," Vexen responded with arrogance.

Ignoring Vexen's arrogance, Zexion then asked," What are his abilities?"

"His has the abilities of our prisoner. Except for powers relating to those red eyes. I made something to imitate them, but I doubt it is anything like the real thing. He also has the powers of the sharkman. I also took the liberty to give him some of my powers."

"I just hope you can control him. The incidents with Riku's Replica and Xion had near disastrous consequences," Zexion said.

"Xiver is completely under my control."

During the conversation Xiver just stood there.

Inside Xiver's Mind

Inside Xiver's mind, there was a base personality that Vexen had created, ready to be molded by his future. However, his mind was also linked to Samehada. In Samehada were traces of Demyx and of also the swords original owner, Kisame.

Two figures picked themselves up from the ground in the mind space. One was Demyx and the other was Kisame.
