Bonus Dungeon Concept

A drafting concept of a bonus dungeon in the KH fanfic.

Located somewhere in Zenith/Aiden/Ravine's homeworld, there will be 8 levels to be traversed downwards.
The spiraling dungeon is initially used as a laboratory akin to the one in Ansem's Studies.
Here, the dungeon reveals MANY attempts of Ravine's faction to create the perfect clone of the Keyblade Messiah, in case he could never find the actual person for his plans.
Think of it as something like Ultraman Nexus, you know when a planet tried to replicate Noa, they ended up creating an abomination.

Each level has a Boss consisting of failed/tainted Sora clones due to exposure to Darkness/Impurification or being abandoned in beta-testing.
As a homage to the canon-verse, each of these levels would house a distorted clone of Sora, name it be Roxas, Xion, Vanitas and whoever is related to him in mindscrewy events.
The final level however...

In original drafting, this bonus dungeon is a homage to those Stations of Awakenings in the Kingdom Hearts continuity, finally affirming that the fanfic is really, really set in an alternate universe.

The current planning and plot purpose for this bonus dungeon is to explain the motif behind Lavender's execution, the mass genocide of Over Crossers (Keybearers especially), and more about Ravine's "dedication" to find the actual Keyblade messiah.


This is merely for fanfic purposes, and should be taken with a grain of salt as to how it would potentially be executed.
