Oookaaayy... There is A LOT to process:
• The Worlds plunging into Darkness since the era of Ansem's Apprentices has a new meaning: it's Darkness
• Formless Darkness makes them lose their will
• Darkness had form and then sacrificed it in order to win back when the MoM was younger
• Darkness still need a form, so it's the reason as to why they possess bodies
• Six Darkness remained after the War; there are five now; one is in the Data World and the other is speaking with Luxu in the Real World, meaning the other three are with the other one in the Data World
• Brain has an alternate method to save the Dandelions that stayed in the Data World
• Huh, Masters' Keeper stayed behind with Ephemer in the Data World... "It was meant to be yours" Brain told Ephemer, concerning the Masters' Keyblade. Could this be another Keyblade the MoM had a specific use for?
• So if Brain, Lauriam, Ventus and Elrena used the Pods, does this mean Subject X is Streritzia?
Speculation:
• the original Keyblade War was back during the MoM's era. Seven Guardians of Light and Thirteen Seekers of Darkness clashed out. The Seekers won the War because they sacrificed their humanoid form in order to spread easier and win, but at the sacrifice of losing will.
• The Pureblood Heartless are Seekers of Darkness that lost their will and turned more savage
• The requisite of sacrificing your body in order to travel through time seems similar to what Darkness did: sacrificed their form
• I think the Keyblade Masters created body hopping in order to counteract Darkness, like a: do what they do in order to beat 'em
• I presume the MoM's grand scheme has to do with keeping Darkness formless and then unleashing enough light to get rid of it, and said light has to do with nurturing the Dandelions

This is a grim thought but all of Xehanort and Eraqus's friends ended up dead right? There were 4 of them....and there are 4 unaccounted darknesses. What if the 4 darkness managed to persist and took over their friends forcing Eraqus and Xehanort to kill them. No more darknesses but also no more friends and it would give them both a reason to take the extreme measures they did.
Unless they don't kill them off in Dark Road and rather reutilize them for future KH games in order to give Darkness several forms.
It's gonna be:
- Six is a very peculiar number of Darknesses. You would expect seven, perhaps with a connection to the deadly sins. Obviously the Master of Masters is the seventh one. I believe they were originally the participants of the first Keyblace War, and MoM was the "winner" of it and the wielder of the χ-blade.
It isn't very peculiar when you take into consideration that six has been a pre utilized number before: six apprentices of Ansem and those same six founded Organization XIII. But I get your point. Also, Darkness did say that, after the Keyblade War, six remained. Maybe there were seven and only six survived? And the MoM can't be a Darkness: the MoM was too young during the Keyblade War. And if he were a Darkness, Darkness would have achnknowledged it by now
Wait, so if the data Daybreak Town was created to be a back up of the real Daybreak Town before the war happened and that it's being theorized in-game by the Dandelion leaders that Strelitzia and themselves have data versions, wouldn't that imply that there's data of everyone in Daybreak Town, including those that didn't end up being Dandelions?
I feel like Data Daybreak town having a copy of everyone is going to be a plot point that's going to be tied with the idea behind the Data Organization XIII.
Scala is the real Daybreak Town turned upside down. Keyblade Graveyard is a separate world, just like it is in BBS and KH3. I think what you are missing is, while the war took place only in KG, all the worlds were destroyed because of it. This was explained at the beginning of Dark Road, some of the worlds were still recovering from it at that time. We don't know for sure if it happened to Daybreak Town as well, but we do know that in went "Break" before being turned into Scala, and so far there is no better explanation for that.
The ancient structure that Master Xehanort elevates from the ground in the Keyblade Graveyard in KH3, I presume that's the world where the MoM came from and where the original Keyblade War happened.
Keep in mind we also see a Darkness manifest behind the Queen of Hearts in Dark Road. And I wouldn’t be surprised if DR goes in the direction of revealing multiple other instances of Darkness, which is what sets Xehanort off on his path.
This begs the question of whether Darkness will continue expanding and multiplying in the future, or whether what we see in DR is in fact one of the six Darknesses referenced here.
Good observation! Maybe this could be the Darkness that confronted Luxu? Or Darkness really did multiply?
Meanwhile Metal Gear can have a whole buncha BS that people either are fine with being brushed off as nanomachines or are fine with it being BS.
I hated that of Vamp. >:/
