I was reading through the new Nomura interview and also the Director's Secret Report when I was struck with an idea.
Okay so this got me really thinking about how CO is related to MX then I realized something interesting. The word that Nomura used to talk about the construction of CO was "birth" as if the castle was almost living. That reminded me of this:
Then I started wondering, is it possible that Castle Oblivion has a heart? After reading the DSR I started reading the interview on the khinsider home page where I read this:
This leads me to believe that the blue Kingdom Hearts is actually the heart of CO. I think that the secret ending is showing us the creation of this structure. As we read above, memories play an important role in the heart so perhaps CO holds within it the memories of everyone.
Now, that really makes me wonder what MX was trying to use it for. It has to be connected to the Room of Awakening.
What would this room be used to awaken?
The birth of Castle Oblivion itself is still a mystery but before the Organization was born into this world it was there. The Organization discovered this castle. You should be able to make some guesses from the additional scenes this time, and fairly quick be able to think of the next stage.

Think of the basic setting of KH as "All life has a heart

–What is the definition of a heart in Kingdom Hearts?
Nomura: It is the theme of the series. To explain it simply, a person has a body, a soul, and a heart. As an image, the soul is the life source, without it a person would be dead. Since the heart doesn’t have a form, memories play an important part in forming a heart. Also, the heart isn’t limited to people, but to all things. I tried to explain this concept to Disney, and they merely said that it must be an Eastern way of thinking. It may be interesting how overseas players think of it.

Nomura: Since before the beginning of Castle Oblivion, the ‘Room of Awakening’ has its origin. The creation of these are told in Birth by Sleep.
