Okay, so this theory is.. a bit wild. I'd like to start off that most of the Darkness-aspect of this theory came to me after I thought about the Princesses part, so this is going to be a very raw post with my initial brainstorm. Don't really expect a mega thread with links and so on.
Ok, so this all started when I started to think about Kairi, Naminé and Strelitzia and the similarities between them.. Which lead to me thinking about the possibility of Strelitzia being a Princess of Heart. And then I went on research mode to read more about the PoH and see if this made any sense, and that's where it hit me.
As of now, we know the Princesses of Heart are remnants of the true χ-blade, the seven pieces of Light that came to be when the weapon was broken in the aftermath of the Keyblade War.
This all happened while the original X game was coming to it's end, so Strelitzia could not be a Princess of Heart as she was murdered before the war took place and the χ-blade was broken. However, I firmly believe that had she lived, she might have become one of the first Princesses of Heart! We have yet to know how someone "becomes" a Princess of Heart, but we know that a previous Princess can release it's power who then seeks another host. Considering I doubt Rapunzel or the Arandelle girls were born after KH1 (even if their worlds follow a different flow of time), we can assume they were normal girls until they became the new hosts, and probably had a very small amount of Darkness in their hearts.
The only reason I'm mentioning this here is that later on it might become relevant: both Strelitzia and Ven are very similar as both are inocent and longed for friends, but while Strelitzia had her brother and a friend while she pursued the player, as of now Ventus apparently had none. However, the true parallel is that Ven would later go on to become an artificial pure light and was used to create an artificial χ-blade.
Ok, we know when the Princesses of Heart came to be and can assume that perhaps a new one could show up in Dark Road's era. But what happened to the Thirteen Vessels of Darkness?
Xehanort later on would try to re-create the weapon through two different methods: the first was through a Heart of Pure Light (Ven) and a Heart of Pure Darkness (Vanitas) clashing. The second is the plot of KH3: The 7 Guardians of Light facing off against his 13 Vessels of Darkness.
However, we KNOW that only Kairi is a Pure Light (or at least a "natural" one), and there's nothing to imply that Xehanort's Darkness was any special either.
This leaves two options:
1. The Thirteen Vessels of Darkness are somewhere else, and we have yet to find out what exactly those are. or..
2. Darkness, the actual being that is currently lurking in the latest updates of UX and whose identity is a big mystery, is the actual Incarnation of the Darkness of the χ-blade. It is also possible that if this is the case, Xehanort might actually come into contact and even absorb this being into himself during Dark Road and that would make the 13 pieces of his Heart spread through the Seekers be much more relevant, and would also explain a bit more about Vanitas.
With that said, I'd like to raise a few more questions that came to me:
1. If Darkness is truly what I'm implying it is, that might explain a bit more about Vanitas and why the fake-xblade even worked to the extent it did in BBS. It could be a case of Darkness leaving a part of itself sleeping in Ven's heart and when Xehanort would attempt to create Vanitas many centuries after, that piece was the reason Vanitas was able to take more of Ven's heart than antecipated, as well as him existing as an special subspecies than every other "race" in KH. Could also means that Naminé, being born from the heart of a Princess of Heart, is his exact opposite.
2. What exactly is the deal with those artificial Pure Lights and Pure Darkness'es, anyways? Why are they even able to summon a version of the χ-blade, even if broken? Is it possible for someone to be born as a Pure Light without being a Princess of Heart? If so, does that mean that BBS-Ven, Naminé and possibly Roxas are all candidates to house a piece of the χ-blade?
