Mirror Chekov

Mirror Chekov is a boss fought by Saphyra in the Mirror Universe World of Kingdom Hearts: Echoes. In the Final Mix adaption, he is given an extra HP gauge.

Codex Entry: "''An ambitious young man out to kill his Captain so that he could rise in rank, going so far as summoning Heartless to assist him. He was taken to an Agony Booth after Saphyra and Kirk defeated him. Saphyra dos NOT want to know what a punishment like that entails." ''

Story
Mirror Chekov is this world's version of Pavel Chekov, the Enterprise's Navigator. Just like in the Star Trek episode that this story is based off of, he attempts to kill Captain Kirk, unaware that the Kirk he is attacking is not his own Captain, but one from another world. Saphyra is unaware of any of the goings-on and immediately rushes to defend Kirk, initiating the boss battle. Chekov summons Shadow Heartless to aid him, marking the first appearance of the Heartless in a battle, and thier second appearance in the story overall.

Strategy
Chekov will use his Empire-issued dagger in battle, attempting to run Saphyra through with it. The player should pay more attention to the Shadow Heartless flanking him, for they are the battle's true threat, because they can interrupt Saphyra's attacks. Chekov's attacks can be avoidd comepletely with Dodge Rollls. If any attack of his does connect, all it will do is knock Saphyra backwards. The player should take advantage of Kirk's presence as a Party Member in this battle, having him deal with Chekov. One strategy would be to fill Saphyra's Command Deck with multi-target attacks and Magic spells, so that she can damage Chekov and his goons at the same time.
