This post will also contain some spoilers for KHX/KHUX and the other games, just a warning. Originally posted on Reddit but I figured discussions on here can be better.
Anyway this is a work in progress, but thinking about back cover and KHUX and the MoM stirred up an idea in my head. Would love to see what you guys think!
Just as keyblade wielders were trying to gather light, what if the MoM's plan was to capture darkness?
In KHUX - we see keyblade wielders fighting to protect the light and gather as much of it as they can. They were all given a chirithy too - a creation of the MoM. When the chirithy becomes a nightmare, that's when we know the keyblade wielder had fallen into darkness. To the Foretellers, that meant something needed to be done and that person needed to be defeated - but what if the nightmare chirithy was a sign to the MoM his plan was going accordingly? Being dream eaters they could enter the realm of sleep and travel to time for when he came back and deliver him the darkness he needed.
The organization coats for MoMand Luxu are likely to hide their identities, it can also signify they were close to the darkness. What if the Master of Masters was trying to create dark 'Kingdom Hearts' - a 'Kingdom Hearts' comprised of darkness. The Kingdom Hearts we know from KH1 and KH2 was of light, so this fits with the duality theme of light & darkness. Why would he want/need to do that? Perhaps you need a KH of light and a KH of darkness to recreate the world as you see fit, not just one. The original world we know of was full of light, so perhaps he needed to wait a very long time to get enough darkness.
We know the MoM to be someone who was curious and doing experiments in his workshop, and it's not a stretch to assume he would've been the strongest keyblade wielder we've seen in the series. If he had waited around a bit, he would've seen the original x-blade and Kingdom Hearts; and he presumably could've used them for whatever he wanted. But he didn't, he purposely disappeared and had Luxu watch over the events through the gazing eye. He's waiting for something.
This kinda goes beyond KH3, but it could fit in that even if Xehanort got the x-blade; it wasn't enough for him to recreate the world. And once Xehanort's plan fails and he's ultimately defeated, now there's enough darkness for the MoM to return.
