Hi, I'm '''Joseph''' but just call me '''JTD95''' or simply '''JTD'''. I do some edits on here when I feel like it/have time. I draw a lot on my spare time and procrastinate my exams.

Arriving from the [[Betwixt and Between]], Sora and party find themselves at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Alley to Between}}'''|狭間につながる路地|Hazama ni Tsunagaru Roji}}, where the first [[save point]] of the world can be found. Exiting the alley leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Fragment Crossing}}'''|断片を紡ぐ道|Danpen o Tsumugu Michi|lit. "Fragment-Spinning Road"}}, a long series of winding streets, full of neon signs attached to vacant buildings. Hordes of [[Shadow]]s  appear here, but in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', they're replaced with Nobodies. Following the Fragment Crossing is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Memory's Skyscraper}}'''|記憶の摩天楼|Kioku no Matenrō}}, an imposingly tall building - filled with television screens at the top - which presides over the city. In the right corner of the plaza is a wrecked truck, flipped on its side, while in the left corner is a road leading up to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Brink of Despair}}'''|絶望を望む断崖|Zetsubō o Nozomu Dangai|lit. "Cliff Overlooking Despair"}}. A [[Moogle Shop]] and a save point can be found there near the edge of a gigantic hole, in which the world's castle hovers above.

 

Through a path opened by the Keyblade, the castle can be entered at its bottom floor, named {{nihongo|'''{{a|Nothing's Call}}'''|虚無への誘い|Kyomu e no Sasoi}}. From here the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Crooked Ascension}}'''|歪みを貫く柱|Yugami no Tsuranuku Hashira|lit. "Distortion-Penetrating Pillar"}} is entered, which is a giant elevator that'll transport the group up to {{nihongo|'''{{a|Twilight's View}}'''|黄昏から望む場所|Tasogare kara Nozomu Basho}}, which is a small stairway located inside a huge and hollow part of the castle. Massive windows in the shape of the Nobody insignia are found here, with a great view of the city outside. Below is what looks like an endless pit. Sora can meet a [[Moogle]] here and [[Item synthesis|synthesize]] new items before heading to the next part of the castle. Following Twilight's View is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Hall of Empty Melodies}}'''|虚ろなる旋律の空間|Utsuro-naru Senritsu no Kūkan}}, which is composed of a large platform over an indefinite abyss, with a recessed second floor accessible via Naught's Skyway and multiple high balconies overlooking the room. The domed glass ceiling provides a view of the castle's highest tower. This is also where [[Xigbar]] is fought and defeated. The aforementioned {{nihongo|'''{{a|Naught's Skyway}}'''|虚空を辿る道|Kokū o Tadoru Michi}} is what connects the Hall of Empty Melodies' two floors, and is a small outside path in a high section of the castle. It overlooks the eerie red-tinged clouds of the city far below.

 

Continuing on from Hall of Empty Melodies' second floor leads to {{nihongo|'''{{a|Proof of Existence}}'''|存在の証|Sonzai no Akashi}}, a multi-tiered mock graveyard for the members of the Organization. It contains twelve {{w|stele}}s, arranged by the rank of each member from left to right then top to bottom, with digital panels on the floor in front of the stele, acting as epitaphs depicting the member's title and weapon. Demyx's stele is incorrectly numbered as XI instead of IX. The stele for the destroyed members of the Organization have been smashed, but the epitaphs remain active for those that are still conscious. The epitaph representing Roxas remains active as he's a part of Sora. Zexion's own epitaph was damaged to the point it no longer depicted his weapon,<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II Ultimania]]''''', '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "Probably because he's quite enigmatic. He's the only member who showed up with no weapons but it's not because he doesn't have his own weapon, it's more of because he died without fighting, so nobody knows what's his weapon. I have an idea on what his weapon is and I might have a chance of showing it in the near future so I'll keep it as a secret for now. That reminds me, in the World that Never Was, each XIII Organization member had a gravestone for them and each of those have a picture of their weapons and that's when Zexion became a problem for us. “Eh, we're gonna put a spoiler on Zexion's weapon there!?” (laugh) That's a bit too much so we decided to destroy the gravestone so that his weapon couldn't be seen."</ref>.

 

Sora and his friends pass through the graveyard on their way up the tower, but are forced to enter two of the stele portals to put an end to [[Luxord]] and Saïx in order to open the way to Xemnas. {{nihongo|'''{{a|Havoc's Divide}}'''|混沌の狭間|Konton no Hazama}} is an area favored by Luxord, and where he meets his end. The area is sloped and leads to a steep drop downwards. The top of the area can be partially seen later on from Naught's Approach. {{nihongo|'''{{a|Addled Impasse}}'''|惑わしの空間|Madowashi no Kūkan|lit. "Bewildered Space"}} is a large chamber with a clear view of the Kingdom Hearts moon, and appears to be where Saïx spends a large amount of his time. Defeating Luxord and Saïx allows access to {{nihongo|'''{{a|Naught's Approach}}'''|虚空を目指す道|Kokū o Mezasu Michi}}, an exterior passage which leads to Xemnas's tower. Eerie red and blue vapors leak out from the castle's next area, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Ruin and Creation's Passage}}'''|破壊と創造の回廊|Hakai to Sōzō no Kairō}}. ...is the biggest area in the castle with platforms floating in the air. Invisible paths can be used to reach each platform and eventually navigate to the other side. The room is filled with swirling red and blue smoke, with some collecting in a spiral at the top of the chamber. There are numerous windows at the sides of the room.

 

[[File:Why Do You Hate the Darkness 01 KHII.png|thumb|left|225px|Xemnas viewing the remnants of Kingdom Hearts from The Altar of Naught.]]

The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Altar of Naught}}'''|虚空の祭壇|Kokū no Saidan|lit. "Altar of Empty Space"}} is a giant tower that is high above the rest of the castle. Hidden off the side is a [[Sidecar Glider|glider]]. Xemnas often comes here to commune with Kingdom Hearts or present it to the other members. After [[Sora]] and his friends confront Xemnas here and he retreats into this Kingdom Hearts, the worlds create a doorway leading within so that Sora and his friends to follow him. The tower later collapses after Xemnas's Dragon Form collides into its side.

 

{{nihongo|'''{{a|Memory's Contortion}}'''|記憶の歪み|Kioku no Yugami}} is a strange, wavering illusion of the [[Memory's Skyscraper]] that Xemnas draws Sora into for a battle. As it is an illusion, Sora cannot "return" here, but a simulation of it can be found within the [[Garden of Assemblage]].

 

[[File:Where Nothing Gathers.png|thumb|180px|right|Where Nothing Gathers is the Organization's meeting room.]]

{{nihongo|'''{{a|Where Nothing Gathers}}'''|虚無が集う場所|Kyomu ga Tsudou Basho}}, known to Organization members as the {{nihongo|'''Round Room'''|円卓|Entaku|lit. "Round Table"}}<ref>'''''[[Roxas's Diary#Day 7: Entry 1|Roxas's Diary, Day 7: Entry 1]]''''': "Today they told us to go to the Round Room, where we met our new member, No. XIV."</ref>, is a circular room containing throne-like chairs ranging in height, where the Nobodies of Organization XIII can gather and discuss developments and for Xemnas to give out orders. There are thirteen throne-like pillars which each member uses as a seat, but these pillars can move up or down at the user's will, or at the leader's<!--The possibility of the thrones changing heights is also seen in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', when the throne where Sora's body is sitting lifts up.-->. Out of respect for their leader, the other members keep their thrones below Xemnas's.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ Ultimania]]''''', pg. 502; '''Interviewer''': "During the meetings, the members of Organization XIII are sitting in chairs. Is the height of these chairs determined by things like their skills and abilities?" / ''' Tetsuya Nomura''': "No, the height of the chairs is not fixated, they move. That is to say, the height is up to each person. The leader, Xemnas, is always the highest and to be at the same height as him would have a pretty bad feeling, so the other members wouldn't do that." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/New-Nomura-Interview-Hoards-of-new-Information-388 Translation via TheWertle and Xaldin].</ref><!--explain as out-of-universe:  Mission Mode of 358/2 Days shows that the thrones change height based on how well the members of the Organization do on missions. -->

 

 

Deep inside the castle is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Soundless Prison}}'''|無音の牢獄|Muon no Rōgoku}}, a cell used by [[Saïx]] to imprison [[Kairi]] and [[Pluto]]. The area only appears in cutscene.

are the endless Dark City and the World of Nothing visible from outside the door?-->. The first area inside the door is '''{{a|The World of Nothing—End's Beginning}}''', a passageway resembling the Dark City where skyscrapers suddenly erupt from the ground in order to repel Sora. A strange black-and-white tunnel leads from this room to a platform looking out on the gigantic Nobody that Xemnas is riding<!--what is this room named?-->. From there, Sora can climb falling skyscrapers to walkways surrounding the lower cannons of the Nobody, '''{{a|The World of Nothing—Twin Cannons}}'''. Once he destroys those, Sora swings his way up to the ship's Energy Core, which is kept in a room appropriately named '''{{a|The World of Nothing—Energy Core}}'''. After disabling the ship's energy core<!--which does what, exactly?-->, he makes it up '''{{a|The World of Nothing—Xemnas's Throne Room}}''', where Xemnas sits in his [[Keyblade Armor]], enthroned atop the dragon Nobody's head in a chamber equipped with the weapons of the defeated Organization members.<!--describe cast back into space portion: What is that room called? What is Sidecar portion called?--> After completely destroying the gigantic Nobody, Sora and Riku are left in {{nihongo|'''{{a|The World of Nothing}}'''|虚無の世界|Kyomu no Sekai}}, a nearly-empty void of shifting greys and whites where Xemnas makes his last attempt to destroy them. He fails, however, and the boys are deposited at the '''[[Dark Margin]]'''.

 

 

 

The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Grey Area}}'''|闇と光を紡ぐ庭|Yami to Hikari o Tsumugu Niwa|lit. "The Garden that Interweaves Darkness and Light"}} is a room in the castle that serves as a lounge for the Organization's members, as well as the place where the members receive their mission briefings from [[Saïx]]. The room is wedge shaped with one wall made entirely out of a giant window, out of which [[Kingdom Hearts]] can eventually be seen floating in the distance. The room has couches and tables spread around it, and Organization members are often seen lounging about between missions. There is also a [[Moogle]] here, dressed in the [[Black Cloak|Organization coat]], that allows Roxas to synthesize panels and access a shop that uses heart points as currency.

The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Avenue to Dreams}}'''|夢境の街路|Yumesakai no Gairo}} is a large urban area beginning with an enclosed alley featuring a save point and a Moogle hologram. Up a long flight of stairs lies a piece of destroyed building, blocking the path into the city that must be scaled to advance. Beyond is an area of twisting alleys surrounded by skyscrapers that can be scaled with [[Flowmotion]]. Several buildings are adorned in blue stripes with a geometric pattern and when stood upon, they rapidly elevate, throwing Sora into the air. Another building has similar white stripes and can be destroyed by using a [[Reality Shift]]. The pattern on these stripes are similar to the ones seen in the area of the final battle against Xemnas in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. Perhaps the most notable feature of this area is a stream of blue-green mist that falls from the roof of a massive tower extremely similar to Memory's Skyscraper and flows through the streets. The Castle that Never Was can be seen from this area, but instead of floating above a giant crater, it floats above several tall buildings. Beyond this tower, the pavement is revealed to be floating and broken, away from the rest of the city and leads off into a more urban area.
