[Theory] Luxu's role as a Traitor and possible Betrayal

[EighteenEighty 1]

Now that Luxu was revealed to be the traitor thanks to KHUX finale, this got me thinking, how will Luxu betray the Foretellers and MoM? This got me thinking what if I told you that inside the Black Box that Luxu was protecting is the 7 darknesses that MoM mentioned during his meeting with Luxu. This got me thinking, we never saw how the 7 darknesses possessed the Foretellers in the Keyblade War. Similar to how many people believed that the Foretellers died in the Keyblade Graveyard, yet we never saw their keyblades as gravestones. It would finally make sense why MoM told Luxu not to open it, the Black Box can only be opened at the right time and place. Well let's see the status of the 6 darknesses that we met in KHUX, who were stuck in the data world.

1. The one who escaped in the data world, and the one who interacted with Luxu and Maleficent. I think it’s the one that Xehanort sees and persists in spreading the Heartless to present day. But there's also a possibility that Xehanort will be possessed by one of the 13 darknesses. Since Xehanort has a strong heart there's a way to trapped the darkness inside his heart, since MoM told him that he will be a seeker of darkness someday (it was stated in KH3 ReMind). It would also give Xehanort to control the power to control the darkness.

2. The one inside Ventus who killed Strelitzia, and also escaped the data world. And the one who will gain a physical form named Vanitas.

3. And the four who were trapped in the data Daybreak Town by the Player.

So in other words, we defeated/killed the 6 lesser-known darknesses, that remains 7. But if you count the remaining 4 who were trapped in the data world, that remains 11 in total.

MoM said in his explanation that in order to kill the Darkness we need to:

1. Give the Darkness a physical form. (similar to Vanitas)

2. Kill the person who's been controlling it. (like Xehanort)

I think this was his plan, let the Foretellers be possessed by the darknesses. So that the 7 darknesses will gain a physical form, but one of them chooses to become a vessel for the Darkness, Luxu.

Luxu chooses to become a part of it because I think this is what the Master meant on why he called Luxu "a traitor", and he had foreseen it because of the No Name Keyblade which contains his eye. But I think the reason why Luxu would accept it is that Luxu never accepted MoM's plan to let his own apprentices and the Union Leaders become vessels for the Darkness. That's why Luxu went a different approach to accomplish his role, whether to meddle with the Dandelions (like Ventus, Brain, Lauriam).

This also got me thinking if Luxu is the only apprentice of MoM to accept the Darkness inside his heart, is he also going to be the leader of the 7 darknesses? Look closely at the 7 black pieces, the goat piece (Luxu) is in the middle, while the other pieces of the Foretellers are on the left and right sides. I could be wrong though if Luxu is not going to be the leader of the 7 darknesses, it could be the dark half of MoM as his new master. But the problem here is the other members of the 7 Darknesses are just dark counterparts or abominations of the Foretellers. The thing here is according to MoM, what he read in the BoP "the traitor has a purpose". What is Luxu's purpose for doing this? What's his endgame? What's his plan?

It would finally explain why MoM is in Quadratum, possibly looking for Sora to "team up" with him to defeat the 7 remaing darknesses. The sad thing here is in order to kill the darkness inside Luxu, you're gonna have to kill him. Whether Sora or MoM will deliver the final blow against him. So in other words this is how the fight will happen:

• Sora (and maybe his friends) vs Luxu

• MoM vs Xeprus (dark counterpart of MoM)

• Ira vs Dark Ira

• Invi vs Dark Invi

• Aced vs Dark Aced

• Gula vs Dark Gula

• Ava vs Dark Ava

• I just hope the names of the Foretellers are also revealed because their names are NOT their real names. The names of the Foretellers are the names of their 7 darknesses. As for the name Xeprus, all I did is to rearrange the sigil of the Black Box XSUPER and I kinda found a name for MoM's dark counterpart.

• But what do you guys think? Do you think this is how Luxu will betray the Foretellers and MoM and accept the darkness inside his heart? Let me know your thoughts and answers.

That theory works but I believe Luxu never had a Darkness with him until he sent the True Dandelion into the future. The reason I say this is because only 12 darknesses can be accounted for. Seven were lost after the war, and six remained, we know one was within Ven, one guided Maleficent back to the real world and four were sealed by the Player. The one with.Ven was sent to the future leaving the one that guided Maleficent unknown, all we know is that it spoke with Luxu when he sent the True Dandelion into the future. I believe that Darkness is the one Luxu is meant to possess 

Remember, Seven Darknesses were lost after the war, I believe the MoM already had his Darkness and that’s why it was always able follow him and is why we see the conversation between them on the hillside. The Lost Page was meant to sow darkness between the five Foretellers which would lead to them acquiring the other six, but Luxu was already told of the Lost Pages meaning BEFORE he left to begin his role and in addition to that, he not only never read the Book of Prophecy (yet), but also did not partake in the war and had been following orders the entire time... up until he sent the True Dandelion to the future.

During that cutscenes, he states that while the Darkness only peeked it never got a good look at “this part”. How would Luxu know it was part of the Book if he never read  it. I believe that after failing to accept the fate the MoM lad out for him and the others, he read the book and decided to act on his own, which is what makes him the traitor, which is something the MoM is depending on because it his actions that ensure everything, remember, the book doesn’t tell everything, only what the MoM felt was important enough to write down (literally his words), Luxu may have learned what would transpire and then decides to act on his own and then realized that acting on his own is what the M.o.M wants and that doing so ensures everything, he just can’t change anything (Look, but don’t touch). In doing so, it allowed him to finally become the traitor so he could harbor a Darkness, the one that guided Maleficent. After he uses the Lifeboat he then asks the Darkness how many were left before he draws his Keyblade stating that he knew one was in the  data world, but not were the others were until it reveals that the other five were still in the data world.

I believe the seventh darkness was within the Player and not Luxu which would explain one thing I see people over looking: Nightmare Chirinthy. Nightmare Chirinthy stated that Nightmares exist to help people sever their connection and break free. The Darkness seek vessels in order to obtain wills of their own and break free from the hive mind (Luxu states this during the cutscenes and it angers Darkness). When Nightmare Chirinthy is defeated it states “Our bond has been severed”, this might have suppressed the Darkness within the Player for the time being as well as separated them from the Hive Mind (which is how Player was able to fool the other four)into believing they were possessed). Also, after Ephemer sends the Player and the Four Darkness to the cable dimension (or whatever that was), they tell the Darkness within Player to leave Players body before it dies. Now remember::

Seven Darknesses were lost, six remained

• One is in Ven who escaped into the future (1) 

• The M.o.M definitely has one, the one we see him speak to (1)

• Six others were lost (6)

• Four were trapped by the player and Ephemer (4)

• One guided Maleficent and confronts Luxu who draws his Keyblade and states that it was in his way while the Darkness rises into the air stating Luxu was in his before the screen fades to Black. Luxu is seen later talking to Brain, but not the darkness, which cannot be a coincidence since we know it can’t be destroyed and it is never seen again after its confrontation...but Luxu is (1)

In short, 7 were sealed, Six remained. If one remained in Ven ( as Vanitas is proof it’s still was with him) and it went into the future with him, it couldn’t have taken the Player, (Ephemer and Skuld believed that was the case) One escaped into the real world and guided Maleficent, but never returned to the Data World and four were with Player after Ephemer sent them to the Cable Dimension who also thought Player was possessed by one. The question is if four of them were there with Player and two were no longer in the Data World, why did the other Darknesses assume Player was possessed by one. The answer being that Player already had one and was able to fool them as they had suppressed it after defeating Nightmare Chirinthy 

When the Darkness emerged from Ven, it stated he was the chosen child meant to carry Darkness into the future as stated within the book of prophecies, but it didn’t get a good look and the MoM is vague af, even to them. I think they made a made a mistake and that the Player is the fated child because remember, at the end the Player’s Heart merges with the heart of a newborn child, the heart of Xehanort, who is the fated “Dark Master “ who seeks tto repeat the Keyblade War. 

I think what makes Xehanort the Dark Master is the the Thirteenth Darkness that was within the player’s heart and that it was passed onto Xehanort following their death. Luxu gained his after he sent the True Dandelion into the future as I think that exact action is what finally made him the traitor (he states in the cutscene that he was doing this for himself) and allowed him to finally take in one of the Darknesses (he had been following his orders down to the last word before that moment)
