75 years after Xehanort had found you and met the MoM

Xehanort was standing in the keyblade graveyard with Xigbar and Saïx. He recalled the memory he had with the MoM and chuckled.

"What's so funny, old man? Mind sharing with us?" Xigbar asked. Xehanort looked at the two men and smirked.

"I stand here today because of a fated encounter, very many years ago, when I was still a young lad. I never learned who he was, and perhaps I never will. But I see now the truth he spoke of," Xehanort said.

"We don't have time for bedtime stories. Without the kid, we're still down a thirteenth vessel, and as for the other twelve, only three of us are here right now. Are you absolutely sure the others made their way back to their perspective times?" Xigbar said. Everyone transported to the mountain (is it a mountain?) and continued their conversation there.

"Marluxia and Larxene are both here in this time, attempting to locate the New Seven Hearts. Luxord is also somewhere about in this age, but after our last meeting, he went in search of something, per your order. Isn't that so?" Saïx said as he looked at Xigbar.

"Oh, that, right...Well, let's just say that what he's doing will benefit us in the long run, but it's really of no importance right this second. Go on," Xigbar said.

"Playing your cards close as usual." Saïx looked at Xehanort and he gave a signal to Saïx

"All right. The hearts of Elena, Muki, Vanitas, Riku Replica, and Young Xehanort returned to where they came from, and reassembled once more. Each of them is seeking a guardian of light," Saïx said.

"So the ones who turned human, and then back again into Nobodies are me, you, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene–that's five. The ones from the past transferred into replicas are Vanitas, Riku Replica, and the old man's younger self. Then we add the old man in, the total comes up to eleven. And we add our two Negaverses. I think we're still missing two," Xigbar said. 

"Let's not forget my daughter," Xehanort said.

"The spirit? That girl's got a lot more light than we think. How are you gonna be able to turn her into a vessel?" Xigbar said.

"I have my ways. After all, a father knows what's best for his daughter. But now, we must discuss why we have assembled here today. My incarnations from past times, vessels into which I transferred my heart, my essence, were destroyed. Thus, I was restored to what you see now. For one to completely disappear, their heart and body must be restored to their original form. That is one reason why I distributed my heart into several vessels. Ansem and Xemnas originated from Terra, or rather his young form–and it too was restored. However, my heart has returned to me, while his is yet lost. I decided to fill this hollow vessel with my heart–indeed, the very same heart that previously resided with young Terra."

"So that makes twelve. Then who do we get to replace the kid? Or the spirit?"

"Twelve replicas were created by Vexen. The first twelve were nothing more than puppets, barely human. The first prototype was the Riku Replica, and then No. i was made. That leaves us with six. Ansem, Xemnas, Vanitas, Riku Replica, and Young Xehanort's hearts–five vessels, one left. Vexen and Demyx are candidates, but backups at best. The plan for the last replica is to give it a heart that is connected to Sora's," Saïx said.

"Connected to Sora? Anyone in mind?" Xigbar asked.

"The second prototype that was created, No i. Though erased from memory, it remained in Vexen's records. Its existence is greatly linked to Sora's memories, along with (Y/N)'s powers, and thus should prove to be more than adequate for our needs."

"No.i...an imaginary number. How fitting."

"While Young Xehanort is occupied with transferring hearts, I must go fulfill my duty. I will go and retrieve Vexen."

"Reliable as always. It sounds to me like you've got everything dependably under control. Well, I'm off to do my part," Xigbar said as he disappeared through a dark corridor.

"The plan, as we agreed upon," Saïx said as he also went through a dark corridor, leaving Xehanort on the mountain.

"May your heart be your guiding key, (Y/N). You're gonna need it," he said.

Today was a beautiful day in the Land Of Departure. Xehanort let you visit Eraqus and you were so excited. You and Xehanort walked inside the castle and you ran up to Eraqus.

"Uncle Eraqus!" you said as you ran up to him.

"Hey, kiddo. How's the best niece ever doing?" he said as he picked you up.

"Good."

"That's good. Ready to have the best day ever?"

"Yep!"

"Take good care of her while I'm gone," Xehanort said.

"Don't worry. We'll have a good time right?"

"Right." you said.

"Alright then. Come give me a hug before I go," Xehanort said. Eraqus put you down and you ran to Xehanort to give him a hug.

"Be safe, daddy," you said.

"I will. You go have fun. I'll be back soon," Xehanort said.

"Okay." You let him go and ran back to Eraqus. You thought that he was going on a mission to defeat some heartless but really it was something really horrible. He arrived at the keyblade graveyard to give Ventus a keyblade lesson. At least that's what Ven thought. But it was actually a way to see who was worthy of murdering you.

(This scene broke my heart. I love Ven so much)

Ventus looked around the Neoshadows that were surrounding him and became scared of what they were going to do.

"Please don't do this, Master. I'm not strong enough," Ven said.

"No. It is because you are trying to hold it in. Let the dark impulses waken in the pit of your heart. Release them, here and now! Sharpen your fear into rage. You must! If you do not let the storm within you run its course, it will wipe you from the face of the world, make no mistake! Do it. Embrace the darkness. Produce for your Master the χ-blade! It is the only way to stop the spirit who wants to destroy the world!" Xehanort said. A Neoshadow jumped out at Ven and got attacked by it. Xehanort groaned and walked over to Ven.

"Really? You would rather die than use the power? Feckless neophyte. If I must...I will extract the darkness from within you myself," he said as he summoned his keyblade. He held his keyblade over Ven and used it to extract the darkness out of him. Ven felt his heart break in half as his darkness was extracted. Ven watched as his darkness turned into a human being. It hurt. A lot. Like he was losing half of his soul. The pain became too much and Ven passed out, not remembering anything of what just happened.

"Empty creature from Ventus riven...to you, the name Vanitas shall be given," Xehanort said.

"Yes, Master," Vanitas said. And that was how you got your new brother.
