After watching a Star Trek Voyager episode today on TV, I thought of a possible development for Xehanort, or rather, Terranort in a (dare I say it?) KHIII.
So, what happened in this episode is that during a beaming up of two characters, Neelix and Tuvok, the transporter malfunctioned and they got merged into a single entity: Tuvix. This Tuvix is a completely new person, with his own thoughts, wishes and desires. However, the crew of Voyager wanted their old two crewmen back, but at the same time they didn't want to deny Tuvix of his existance. When they decided to split him in two again, he fought the idea. He claimed he was neither Neelix nor Tuvok and as such had a right to exist as a separate entity.
Now, imagine our Terranort as a human again. He is a vessel carrying memories of 4 beings (Terra, MX, XH and Xemnas) and two hearts (or three, if you take the Eraqus part too). He is aware of the two people fighting inside him for dominance of his body. But he won't allow it. He wants to exist on his own, neither as Terra or Xehanort. This inevitabely puts him in conflict with Aqua who wants Terra back. To keep his existance he now has to fight on two fronts: Against the Masters who want to get Terra and kill Xehanort AND the two inside his heart.
What do you think of introducing this type of a moral dillemma in KH? Imagine where you could take the storyline to with this element.
