This is my first ever theory, sooooooooo it probably doesn't have a lot of truth, but it's just a theory. All right! You may want to have youtube on another screen, because I want you to be able to look at this stuff. First, lets talk about the relationship between the UEM and Riku. The UEM can control keyblades, http://www.youtube.com\watch?v=8wtQ_72JwIE (49 seconds into the movie)and the DS can ride on that "wind" of Keyblades, similiar to Xaldin's attack where he rides his spears. That leads me to believe that the UEM probably created Keyblades and Keychains. Riku also created a keyblade! remember the Heart Unlocker fromKH1? Ansem(heartless) told Riku he had the potential to create keyblades. So, Riku can create keyblades, and the UEM might have created keyblades, so Riku might be related to the UEM! For proof look at the DS suit in the youtube link. It looks exactly like Riku's when he was engulfed by darkness. Also, 2:39 in the movie pause it and you can see that both the DS's keyblade and the UEM's keyblade has an eye on them, as does Riku's Soul Eater and Way to Dawn. Now a little info on the three Engimatic Soldiers. I believe that those three were generals of some great or small army of keyblade wielders. But the UEM conquered their homeland and many others. But when the three learn that the UEM is trying to conquer Kingdom Hearts, they try to take action. They go to the place where the three keyblades are and then try to close KH forever. But the UEM comes and then tries to conquer Kingdom Hearts, his last conquest. At about 2:08 into the movie, when the UEM pulls out his Keyblade it has a chain on it! No other keyblade(except possibly the DS' Keyblade) has a keychain. For proof, 2:17 into the movie you can see Terra's keyblade doesn't have a keychain on it. Now another thing about the UEM, right before he freezes Ven, you can see a darkness suround ven. What does it mean? Now, personally, I think its UEM taking all the light from Ven's heart, or "keyblade",, transferring that light to his seemingly dark keyblade, and then opening Kingdom Hearts. As you may notice, after Ven looks at Aqua, and Aqua looks at Ven(so romantic!(sarcasm)) the UEM's keyblade vanishes into a ball of darkness. He shoots that ball into the sky opening Kingdom Hearts. YouTube - Kingdom Hearts II Secret Ending Video English If you noticed, none of the Keyblades have a keychain on it. Now the three keyblades in the middle, have keychains on them. Those three keyblades are the Dark Realms Keyblade(DRK), Way to Dawn(WtD), and Kingdom Key(KK) Ven picks the WtD, Aqua picks the DRK, and Terra picks the KK. Now Since Terra, Aqua, and Ven don't have keychains, maybe their keyblades aren't real keyblades, maybe they're made of light! Maybe the three Enigmatic Soldiers are looking for a way to wield true keyblades! But, when the UEM comes, they send them to Riku's time. Now I will explain that in just a second, but as you can see in the video, where did the keyblades go? thats why I believe that they sent them to Riku's time. So, when the UEM came, they sent them to Sora's time because UEM was trying to extract Kingdom Heart's power. I believe that it takes three keyblade masters to extract all of KH's power. But the UEM is only one right? Well, since he created Keyblades, and it takes those three keyblades(or so I believe) he would be able to combine those three keyblades into one, and appear to be three keyblade masters. Now when the Heartless invaded Riku's home, Sora got the KK. YouTube - Kingdom Hearts: Destiny Islands - Departure But, in KH2, Terra says to Sora, "You're not the one I picked". What? Does that mean that Riku was sopposed to be the KK wielder? Probably, but how then did Sora get it? Because Riku's heart was weak, and he was engulfed in darkness. Remember, the KK is a realm of light Keyblade. Sora's heart wasn't engulfed by darkness, so the KK wen't to Sora, not Riku. The KK might have thought Riku was a heartless, so it chose the next thing in line, Sora. Now we can see that Riku was supposed to be the KK wielder because when Sora meets him in Traverse Town, Sora can't get the KK back, like he had been able to before.YouTube - Kingdom Hearts: Traverse Town - Second Visit Also,in Hollow Bastion Riku was able to wield the KK, but when Sora's heart proved stronger(and maybe because Sora had been able to use the KK's power before) Sora got the KK back. Riku had to result to fighting with the Soul Eater. Now the WtD has the main body of the Soul Eater, and might have been the Soul Eater! The Soul Eater might have been a precursor to the WtD, but it did not become the Way to Dawn until his heart was ready. In KH: Chain Of Memories, Riku fights with the Soul Eater. It is not until KH2 that Riku gets the WtD. The WtD might be an in-between Keyblade because, Riku chose the "Middle Road".YouTube - Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Riku's ending Another reason why the WtD is an in-between Keyblade is because at the final door in KH2, look at their line:KK is at the end, DRK is at the other end, and WtD is in the middle. Well that's my theory, it might make sense and it might not. Please put in some input.
