>Dodge the cables and make some of our own.
>"We're the same person. That means it's my world, too. Didn't we already go over that?"

> You make some dark energy blades, which slice up the cables, after dodging them to give you a better position.

> "When all else is even, there is nothing that you can do when I am superior!" the other you says.

> You attempt to do what she just did, summoning up cables around her, but nothing happens.

> "This is my world. You can try all you want, but you cannot manipulate my world. You are a figment, a tumor of a personality grown by Yukari. Your world doesn't exist, or if it does, do you think a mere tumor can outdo the control of the real deal? You are almost little more than a bad dream to me, a bad dream that lasted a hundred years."

> The other you conjures chains of dark energy, holding them in her left hand.

> "When I'm done with you, I'll chain your ruined corpse to the throne that binded me this last century."

>Let's try creating a mass of chains as well, but coming at her from all angles!

> "I move forward. Once I am done with one world, I move onto the next one, and then the next one. I am the reaper of all threats that could be poised to Makai. As much as I loathe Shinki, it's a job I love. As long as blood runs, screams echo, and darkness falls I am TRULY ALIVE!" the demonic you says.

> You form chains from multiple directions, heading towards her. Several of them dissipate, and she dodges the rest, except one, which she deflects with her blade.

> "I guess I can toy with you. It's not like outside time is passing. Oh wait, it is. Every second I draw this out, the worse it becomes for your world. Those two Lunarians could show up any moment, or Rika could kill your 'friends'. Maybe you'd like to watch the outside world as you die? Take a last look at the ones you care for. Because I can assure you, they will be the first to die."

> There are no chains to avoid as you charge in, delivering a swift kick, her blade still parrying the chain you threw. The other you crashes to the ground, but quickly gets up.

> "You? Win? Ridiculous!"

> You pull the darkness around yourself, and with a mighty effort, dispel it, turning the inner world white, except the black throne in it, and an area around your other self.

> "What... is this? You dispelled the darkness? Why? You are darkness!"

I might find some theme music more often for climatic battles. I did it for the Rika fight at the end of RQ3 [Albeit, Rika themes and remixes].

>"You won't stop me from protecting my friends, even if you are me!"

> You form a drill of dark energy, and attempt to bust through. This just causes a massive eruption of dark energy as both volatile constructions explode in your faces, which sends you both flying away. However, one thing turnms in your favor, the other you crashes into the throne.

> "I will kill them with your own hands... I'll even stop the body taking my form for long enough to see their faces as YOUR body kills them."

> "Besides, you've forgotten one of my powers..." the other you says. You notice she's regenerating due to being in the shade she's created around herself, although she is unable to get up due to her impact, unlike you.

> "Kuuuuu.... Hahahahahahaha! You stubborn brat! I'll put you in your place!" the other you says, rising.

> As she rises, you generate chains of dark energy, brinding her to the throne. They starts to dissipate one by one, however, it's clear they won't last long.

> "Yuuka says otherwise."

>Let's form a scythe now, and cleave right through her, the chains, and the throne!

> "All I ever hear about her is the pain..." the other you saqys, as the chains keeps vanishing.

> You form a scythe of dark energy, and swing it. On impact with the chains, another explosion happens, but you stay focused, and the scythe dosen't explode, not right away, not until it gets to where it needs to be.

> Everything turns back, as you hear the maniacal laugh fade.

---

> You wake up. You feel stronger, and see your ribbon has fallen to the ground. Rika looks scared.

> "That... that should have killed you! You were bleeding from the head! How come you're still alive... let alone in this form again!" Rika says.

> She shakes her head. "It dosen't matter. I was prepared for this. Look." Rika says, indicating to the others, who have clearly been fighting. Rika shows no signs of fighting. "I am far more powerful than I used to be."

> Rika jumps off Evil Eye Sigma II, which crashes to the ground, sparking. Clearly, while Rika is fine, the others managed to deal significant damage to EES2.

> "Do you want to know what I am?" the mad scientist says.

> "I accepted I was no longer human, but refused to accept being a Youkai. So, I took a third option, especially once I discovered my power. I made MYSELF a machine!" Rika says, her eyes glowing with a red light in the center.

> "That's why your punch didn't hurt me, and why I could swing my spanner with enough force to put you out. I am no longer flesh and blood. I am steel and iron! Oil runs through my veins, not blood."

> "Now then, it's time to show you the capabilities of Rika Mk II!" Rika says, taking a battle stance with her spanner drawn.

> "You think that'll work?" Rika says, looking at the teleporter as it releases an electrical burst, stopping your 'Dark Grasp'.

> "As long as I am still functional, I will be able to control the teleporter, and it's specifically designed to be able to repel assaults with electrical pulses. You'll have to take me offline... or, as you might know, knock me out." Rika says.

> Rika jumps towards you, with fire from her shoes launching her at a high speed, spanner poised,

> The dark barrier explodes on impact, sending both of you flying away. Rika's metal body stops her getting hurt in the first place, and you just regenerate right away.

> "I'll also be your last opponent!" Rika says.

[You look similar to the inner version of yourself, except minus the halo, and the wings are less feathery. So you look like you grew up another 5 years.]

>Let's call up a Scythe or five, and fling 'em at her!

> "Then I'll just have to kill you in one blow, so you can't regenerate." Rika says.

> You materialize five scythe-heads of dark energy [Materializing the pole is pointless, it only gets in the way], and make them fly towards Rika. Rik takes a defensive stance and a barrier appears around her, blocking the scythe-heads.

> "Eh, looks like this isn't gonna work. Did I mention my power? My power is what I call techno-mancy... control over machines, I can run them from distances, fix them, make them... change them."

> Evil Eye Sigma II breaks into pieces.

> "Combine them..."

> The bits of machine from Evil Eye Sigma II swirl around Rika. The result is a miniature Evil Eye Omega-like battle suit for Rika, except the eye is in the chest area, and Rika's head is in the place of the large eye on Omega. It also lacks wings, instead, EES2's wings are blades on Rika's arms. Rika has gone from a rather small human-looking character to about twice your size.

> "So then, are you ready?" Rika says.

> Rika's response is to fire a laser from the eye that's situated almost as a chestplate, which you avoid.

> You then deliver your line, and form a katana of dark energy. You can keep this stable since it's a single object that you're holding, like when you create your sword.

> "Training eh?" Rika says, with the wing-blades crackling with electricity. "Magic against technology... we know what wins, look at the outside world!"

> You shoot a laser of dark energy towards Rika's face, to which you hear Marisa mention "I would do that too ~ze". Rika brings up a larger version of the sheild she used before to block the beam, but your dark energy katana gets through, and pierces the eye chest-plate, although not much.

> One of Rika's arms move, to slice you with the wings that are being used as blades, as she asks a question.
