Editing End of the World

{{game|KH1|FM1|REC|KH2|FM2|HD1}}

The '''End of the World''' is a [[world]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''. It is the last new location to open in the game, upon locking [[Hollow Bastion]].

End of the World is a by-product of all [[Heartless]]'s destructive nature. Although End of the World is the last world, the Heartless are not very numerous as compared to [[Hollow Bastion]], but they are very powerful. Upon taking a world's heart, a tiny fragment of what is left of that world is sent drifting through the void of space until it eventually meets and merges with End of the World. It is, in essence, a [[Heartless]] of the destroyed worlds, as well as the location of [[Kingdom Hearts]] for worlds' hearts. In nature, it can be seen as the opposite of [[The World That Never Was]], which is a similar artificial "[[Nobody]]" world without its own heart.

 

The theme music for End of the World is "End of the World" and the battle theme is "Fragments of Sorrow". Both are arrangements of different segments of "Dive Into the Heart ([[Destati]])", the music used during the [[Awakening]].

Originally planned for ''Kingdom Hearts'' was a boss battle with Riku at the End of the World, in an area called '''[[Removed content in the Kingdom Hearts series#Crumbling Island|Crumbling Island]]'''. The area was cavernous with purple walls; it had a large amount of running water on the walls, and a large hole in the ceiling. It is reminiscent of [[Destiny Islands]] while it was being consumed by darkness. The map for Crumbling Island was placed out of the way within the remains of World Terminus, where it can be found through hacking.

End of the World opens on the '''{{a|Gate to the Dark}}''', a cave leading into the '''{{a|Final Dimension}}''', which appears to the eye as an empty field of darkness dotted by snowy fragments of land, and showered by infrequent dark orbs being drawn deeper into the world. However, being sucked into one of those orbs reveals the true shape of the area, a snowy wasteland with plentiful outcroppings of crystals, and swarming with powerful Heartless. A vortex at the end of the area leads to a colorful, quiet canyon that is called the '''{{a|Giant Crevasse}}''' which spans several levels connected by green web-like formations. At the bottom of the canyon is a passage to the fragmented '''[[World Terminus]]''', which in turns leads to the '''{{a|Evil Grounds}}''' and a boss battle with [[Chernabog]]. Within the Evil Grounds, Sora has free flight, and must fly up to reach the World Terminus.

After defeating Chernabog, the top of Bald Mountain opens, allowing [[Sora]] and his party to fly through the '''Crater'''. The Crater runs into the '''{{a|Volcanic Crater}}''', with entrances to it at the top and bottom of the crater. The Volcanic Crater is a tunnel that extends through four rooms, and contains remnants from worlds that have fallen into darkness - for example, trees and small towers from [[Enchanted Dominion]], the demonic trees and the front door of the Dwarfs' house from [[Dwarf Woodlands]], stone tapestries from [[Castle of Dreams]], and a small glass sphere from [[Beast's Castle]].

At the bottom of the mountain is the '''{{a|Linked Worlds}}''', a glowing chamber in which Sora and his friends are forced to fight a swarm of Heartless, beginning with a battle against a [[Behemoth]], in order to break open the path to the '''{{a|Final Rest}}'''. This room is the location of the final save point of the game, as well as the door which first appeared in the [[Awakening]] and led to a strange version of Destiny Islands. Just as before, this door leads to the remnants of Destiny Islands, in a room named only '''{{a|Homecoming}}'''. The final boss, [[Game:World of Chaos|World of Chaos]], even includes small '''[[Portal of Darkness|Portals of Darkness]]''' as rooms within itself.

Ansem fuses himself to the [[Game:World of Chaos|World of Chaos]], a giant, organic Heartless battleship, and sucks Donald and Goofy into a [[Portal of Darkness]]. Sora begins to fall into the void, but the encouragement of Riku gives him the strength to fight back. Sora rescues Donald and Goofy, and the trio destroy the World of Chaos.

A facsimile of End of the World is created by Ansem within Castle Oblivion for his and Riku's final fight.  

End of the World only appears when [[Roxas]] is dreaming about Sora's memories. Its name is never mentioned, and it is not playable. The area where Sora, Donald, and Goofy battled Ansem is also briefly shown when King Mickey explains the truth about Ansem.
