The world of [[Organization XIII]], it is home to a seemingly endless supply of [[Heartless]] and [[Nobody|Nobodies]]. The Heartless seem to spawn more here due to how close The World That Never Was is to the darkness of [[Kingdom Hearts (world)|Kingdom Hearts]]. The Organization controls the world from [[Castle that Never Was|The Castle That Never Was]], a massive fortress that floats weightlessly over the expansive '''Dark City'''.

The World that Never Was has likely been the headquarters for  [[Organization XIII]] since its creation. It remained so all the way through to Xemnas's death, even after the founding of [[Castle Oblivion]] as a secondary base. Meetings were held here, and members would return here when done with their missions. Up until the time of Sora's arrival on this world, it was a safe-haven for Organization XIII.

When [[Roxas]] abandoned the Organization, he wandered for a short time through the streets of the '''Dark City''', likely contemplating where to go to start his search for himself. Here, outside one of the many locked stores, Roxas met with [[Axel]], who tried to stop him from leaving, warning him that the Organization would want him eliminated were he to leave. Roxas, stating that no one would miss him (were he to die), left a saddened Axel behind and moved along the streets to Memory's Skyscraper. Axel mutters that he would miss him, before Roxas disappeared into the darkness.

The World that Never Was continued to be used as a base of operations for the Organization throughout ''Kingdom Hearts II''. Although their numbers continued to decrease, they still held meetings in the Castle that Never Was, and plotted a way to use the Keyblade.

Eventually, Sora arrived in the Dark City, with the help of the Organization's traitor, Axel. Making their way through the large amounts of Heartless, Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], [[Goofy]], and [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] fought to the center of the city, Memory's Skyscraper. Here, [[Samurai]] Nobodies appeared from nowhere, and Roxas appeared to Sora, challenging him to a fight. The two disappeared from the scene and while Donald and Goofy fought off the Samurai, Sora and Roxas dueled on the [[Station of Awakening]].

After Roxas is defeated, he tells Sora that he's a "good other." The group then continues on to the Castle that Never Was. They make their way through the many levels of the castle, meeting up with [[Riku]] and [[Kairi]], and finishing off the remaining members of the Organization.

After meeting with [[Ansem the Wise]] on one of the upper floors of the castle, the latter sacrifices his life in an attempt to destroy Xemnas's [[Kingdom Hearts (world)|Kingdom Hearts]] , the blast returning Riku to his original form. The party makes their way to the top floor and finally defeat Xemnas.

During the extensive final battle with "The Superior," much of the Dark City and the Castle That Never Was is destroyed. Chunks of building were ripped up and thrown at [[Sora]] and [[Riku]], and the main tower collapsed off of the Castle.

*Interestingly, the boxart of ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' shows a scene with the younger versions of [[Kairi]], [[Sora]], [[Riku]], [[Goofy]], and [[Donald Duck|Donald]], sitting on a skyscraper in a world, that bears a uncanny resemblance to the World That Never Was, even with the Kingdom Hearts moon in the background, although this world didn't actually appear before ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
