The World That Never Was

''This article is about the City that Never Was, and The World That Never Was as a whole. For the castle above the world, see Castle That Never Was.''

The world of Organization XIII. It appears only in Kingdom Hearts II. It is home to a seemingly endless supply of Heartless and Nobodies that fill the castle that floats above the world. Although it seems logical to call the city below the castle "The City that Never Was", the area map gained in-game is called the "Dark City Map", implying this to be the actual name.

 * Shadow
 * Neoshadow

Nobodies

 * Dusk
 * Creeper
 * Dragoon
 * Assassin
 * Samurai
 * Sniper
 * Dancer
 * Berserker
 * Gambler
 * Sorcerer

Alley to Between
Alley to Between is a location in The World That Never Was. It hides a portal to Betwixt and Between. Sora, Donald, Goofy and King Mickey used this portal to get into the world, thanks to the sacrifice of Axel. The alley way connects to the main route that leads to the Castle That Never Was.

Fragment Crossing
Fragment Crossing is a location in The World That Never Was. It is a long series of winding streets the lead to the Memory's Skyscraper. It is full of neon signs attached to vacant buildings as well as a power plant which seems to power some or all of the city. Many Shadow Heartless are here. Sora, Donald, Goofy and King Mickey took this route on their way to the Castle That Never Was. Pluto also had an encounter with Axel here.

Memory's Skyscraper
Memory's Skyscraper is a tall building in The World That Never Was. Located near the Castle That Never Was, the building kept watch over the residents of the Dark. Roxas was battling a legion of neoshadows when Riku appeared at the top of the building, and when the two began their duel.

After arriving at the World That Never Was, Sora was confronted by Roxas at Memory's Skyscraper, while two Samurai blocked Donald and Goofy. Sora and Roxas soon disappeared to the Station of Awakening, but Donald and Goofy claimed to not see Roxas.

During his battle with Xemnas, Sora was pulled into an area that included Memory's Skyscraper, in a battle similar to the one Roxas and Riku had.

The Brink of Despair
The Brink of Despair is a location in The World That Never Was. The chasm seems to have been made by The Castle That Never Was which hovers above it. Sora, Donald, Goofy and King Mickey arrive here and access the castle via a path using the Keyblade.

Trivia

 * Where Nothing Gathers can only be found by using a special code in Kingdom Hearts II or Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+. The code allows you to enter any room, even rooms that are only seen in cutscenes.


 * Xemnas' chair is always the highest, while Vexen's chair appears to be the lowest. According to the upcoming game Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, which centers the Organization, the height of the chairs are progress marks for each member's missions. That said, Vexen, for all his abilities, seems to have been rather incompetent lately.
