Maleficent and Pete were the secondary Kingdom Hearts 2 antagonist, as we all know. Maleficent's role from Kingdom Hearts 1 to Kingdom Hearts 2 went from arguably the main villain until Ansem was revealed to something even less. It just seemed as though Nomura no longer felt any use for her. Pete who was revealed to be Maleficent's loyal subordinate, was creating powerful armies of Heartless to help further Maleficent's plans in universal domination (as if she didn't have enough http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png).
Fact of the matter is, Nomura still has further purpose for them. If not then why would he keep giving them cameos? As far as the 7 lights and Yen Sid know, Maleificent could have already created a large army of Heartless and recrutied many Disney villains. Since they didn't say much about Maleficent in DDD, I'll assume that they are ignorant to what she's doing and believe she no longer is worth bothering with.
Assuming Maleficent at least knows she's being taken lightly and is currently not the main focus of the series' protaganists, why not use all her time to create a powerful alliance with Disney villains and gather more Heartless? I don't believe that Maleficent has been sitting her ass down at Villains Vale, being a butthurt bitch about how much she wants the Digital Worlds and picking on Pete.
These two must have done A LOT after surviving from The Castle That Never Was and the 1 year+ timespan.
This is what I believe they've been doing:
Maleficent has been in Villains Vale or Ansem's Castle plotting her revenge on Sora, the others, and Orginization XIII. She's probably considered the fact that she can not defeat any Keyblade weilder on her own, at least not in her current state. Maleficent can't be COMPLETLEY ignorant to what's happening so she's likely already taken some actions. I believe she's kidnapped or at least kept close eye on some or all of the Princesses of Heart. She also probably has some sort of evil scheme for when she collects the Digital Worlds. It's obvious that she won't use them just to increase her Heartless army. I was thinking that the Digital Versions of the Princesses of Heart would be used as fakes or phonies to mislead Xehanort while she keeps the real ones kept captive. Whatever she does with the Digital Worlds, it'll be more than just simply increasing her army of Heartless. Surely she's learned at this point that they won't be enough for her to conquer all the worlds.
Pete on the other hand was probably ordered to go to other worlds and try to recruit all the Disney villains back and even new ones. He'll probably be able to convince them once more to join Maleficent's evil council of villains. Doing this would obviously make sense considering how strong and potent all the Disney villains are combined together. Imagine a combined force of Maleficent, Hades, Jafar, Hook, Ursula, Oogie Boogie, Scar, Pete, Doctor Facilier, Shan Yu, Barbossa, Frollo, Horned King. That would truly be a force to be reckoned with. Darkness, black magic, swordsmanship, immortality, voodoo. Honestly, another Disney villain alliance would be common sense.
What do you think Maleficent's been plotting prior to Kingdom Hearts 3. I doubt she's been moaning and being a whiny bitch over how she desires the Digital Worlds and wants the Orginization XIII to die or whatever.
