So about Solid Snake being in Fortnite...

by Faint_Kitten

I got into Fortnite in December 2023 for the first time. I just unlocked Snake and I have so many thoughts on it I can't completely break them all down. But I think I've done my best.

But the #1 thing I think I want everyone to know is: Despite shaving off his ass. Despite being artistically bankrupt and pushed out by Konami and Epic as a means to make money and promote the MGS Vol 2 collection.

Despite artistically, and Narratively being antithetical to Metal Gear Solid…

Snake being in Fortnite feels mechanically and tonally consistent with his legacy.

There is so much inherent "Kojima" in Metal Gear Solid. This weird blend of hyper realism, mixed with anime siliness, mixed with philosophy mixed with trying way too hard to be sombre while also mechanically being silly and then you spin around three times to puke, or Johnny does a big poop fart and all of it adds to the weird just Kojima-esque nature of the series. It extends to the love, the fandom and the humor around Metal Gear Solid. So many memes around Snake, between fan art, in jokes, and original Animations and gifs that it doesn't feel THAT weird to see him do like a...Naruto Run emote. So much of Metal Gear Solid* was a very serious drama taking place in a game that mechanically is silly and lets you do goofy shit and has elaborate bro fist handshakes played deadly serious. And Fortnite is a game where you have these characters doing goofy shit that doesn't mesh with who they are or the universe they came from all the fucking time.

You also have to realize the Battle Royale mode has big locations full of NPC's and Bosses you can kill for loot.

The "narrative" as it is of Fortnite Chapter 5: Season 1 is (near as I can tell) that Peely the Banana has been kidnapped by the Society (who serve as the current skins for this season and AI controlled bosses and NPC's on locations of the map.) And the map is littered with their fortresses with Jonesy (I guess the main character?) Going up against them to get his friend back. Which means there are a handful of locations in the current Fortnite Map that are just Boss bases. These are bunkers, and huge mansions and little outposts that you have to be careful around because once they know you're there they will just start spawning endless enemies to try and kill you, and the attention WILL draw enemy players. So you're shooting out cameras for XP and to keep them from beeping, avoiding turrets to keep from alerting guards and keep them from chewing up your health.

Guards already had the "?" and "!" system for showing if they detected you, despite having no inherent stealth mechanics in the game or any intention of introducing MGS. They didn't do this FOR an MGS tie in. There are recruitable companions and they can't speak so a way for players and enemies to detect if their companion "senses" an enemy player is to use the "?" and "!" system. While it doesn't mean that much without him. This is very clearly taken from Metal Gear, and as a result the alert system feels very natural around Snake.

In game modes where you have teams of two three or Four players, you get downed like Gears of War or Apex, and have to be revived. You can crawl and move. But players who are on their feet can pick you up and sling you over their back, or even yeet you to safety.

Enemy Players can do this too.

When I play Team modes by myself (I am alone, everyone else is in a team) I frequently pick enemies who wandered off of their pack and pick them off, tossing them somewhere their team mates can't get to or won't find them specifically to draw them in to their rescue.

Additionally there IS wildlife to hunt: Chickens, Frogs and Fish which give you medium effect healing items.

The game has items you can put on to "disguise yourself" like bushes, or snowmen during christmas that work EXACTLY like the card board boxes in MGS (though it's debatable if players are convinced by anything but the bush)

All of this was going on BEFORE Snake was unlockable. (I don't know if the camera's and bosses stuff existed before this season)

Which means that MECHANICALLY. Snake doesn't feel out of place at all in Fortnite.

It's super weird when a Xenomorph, or Spiderman, or a Ninja Turtle, or Goku, or a teen from My hero Academia, or Eleven from stranger things comes in and starts mowing people down with an assault rifle. The disconnect is part of the charm for better or worse, and it's both amusing and horrifyingly upsetting when you think about these characters sold as nothing but IP to get rich off of being so taken out of context from their character's intended art, themes and meaning.

It's just weird to see bright bubbly Mina from My Hero shooting people dead. Spiderman doesn't kill people, that's the Punisher, it's fucking weird to have Spiderman just gunning people down, if you get my gist.

It's super fucking weird to see these characters handle a fire arm and move around in a shooter. They feel less like themselves and more like what they are: A skin of a popular thing, plugged into a world to please fans and rake in money. It's fucking weird to see Spider-man holding a firearm.

It is NOT weird to watch Solid Snake do it. As a result of this, Snake kind of slips into the absurd world of Fortnite rather well.

It feels kind of cool strip snake of all like falling trail effects and just watch him super-hero sky dive toward a giant compound full of NPC's and land on the roof (It looks cooler in the dead of night but I didn't get a screenshot of it)

It's not weird to experience Snake in Fortnite's world handling Fortnite's mechanics. Because so many of the mechanics and the tone feels distinctly normal for Metal Gear Solid. This is not the first time Snake has been pawned out as a mascott to other properties.

It's weird as hell to watch Kratos blow a car up with a rocket launcher. That is not a part of his world, you see. It's NOT weird to watch Snake fire an RPG at anything. It's not weird to watch Snake do a bulk of the things he can do in Fortnite.

It's not weird to watch Snake run around a forest and shoot a frog or hunt a chicken for it's meat because we've played Snake Eater

It's not weird to hide in a bush as Snake:

It's not weird to watch snake shoot someone or Reload a fire-arm. The Snowy Mountains bases, the outposts, the big mansions and small cities the open world all feel like places Snake has been at home in, from Shadow Moses, to the Middle East, it's not unusual to see Snake* surrounded by girders and steps and concrete and cabins and tents and forrests etc. It's not weird to watch Snake pick someone up who's downed and carry them over his shoulder, or chuck them into a closet: We've seen this in MGS V: The Phantom Pain. Metal Gear Solid kind of invented a lot of these mechanics.

There isn't that much about Snake in the following footage seems out of place for Metal Gear Solid:

Snake doesn't feel out of place in fortnite. It might feel sacriligious for the biggest thing in gaming adding snake (with no cheeks I might add) to it's roster to be eyerolling or cringe. But Snake doesn't feel "too good" for fortnite. But he also doesn't feel like a total shill in fortnite either. A lot of the gear and missions and challengees to unlock him felt like a someone was asked to put together activities at a Metal Gear Solid themed birthday party (Use hiding spots. Shoot out 2 cameras. Fire an RPG, shoot silenced weapons, uses the disguise mechanics, travel in the disguise items. hack Trains or Vaults) the Emote could have easily been just the alert noise over Snake's head, but they put it on a freaking stick, Wile E Coyote style.

There's a weird Fortnite blend of "Lets make something as cheaply as possible in some places and yet give some things the love and attention that comes from making 5billion in revenue a year affords you." that shows up in everything they do. And they clearly put a lot more effort into this promotion than they did the Family guy stuff (not that I care one way or the other about Family guy I'm just calling it like I see it.) To be honest Snake has been shilled out to so many other games for cross promotion over the years this is hardly his first.

Snake has been blended with many things like Ape Escape, Smash Bros, and Monster Hunter. Seeing him along other games and even other characteres not of MGS's worldbuilding doesn't feel that odd. Snake has kind of left his "world" behind many times. Which is...kind of in keeping with Snake being this cipher? This character the player slips on. Snake is a character an icon but he's also this THING puppeted by us. A lot of games work to break this illusion to make us forget we're not Kratos, or We're not Nathan Drake but ever since Metal Gear Solid 1 Kojima's writing has been pretty clear there's "something" that drives snake. Not motivationally, but literally piloting him giving him what he needed to succeed (us). To put it simply. Snake has always been a bit Meta as a character. And it's hard to see liscenced characters (sold for up to 15 dollars a pop) as themselves when we're piloting them telling them to drink slurp juice out of jars, or swing a pickaxe or or sing "The Real Slim Shady" or do cutesy Jpop dances. All of this is to say, having played MGS 1 through TPP: nothing about this gameplay feels that out of character for Metal Gear aside from the cartoony art style. The look and feel of Fortnite naturally lends itself to having Snake as a Playable character in it. Narratively, Thematically, Fortnite is almost antithetical to Metal Gear Solid. But tonally, and mechanically, it feels in keeping with the series.

Part of this is just the fact that Kojima's games have always been ahead of the curve when it comes to what you can do in gameplay and so many of these things were adopted by gaming later that slotting Snake back into mechanics his games inspired just doesn't feel disjointed. So many games have copied Metal Gear Solid over the years and became main stream. MGS has also had it's own unique air owing to both Kojima's own unique style and the weirdness/humor brought about as the game tries very seriously to balance it's story and themes against poop jokes, and mechanics that are often very silly but very fun and a total detachment from the poe faced somberness snake goes for or is possibly trying to mock. This, overall is a chunk of what makes metal gear feel like metal gear. The mechanics of Fortnite feel eerily comparable to the mechanics of later Metal Gear games (especially MGS V) .

And the tonal disconnect between what Metal Gear games are doing as a plot, and the inherent nonsense the mechanics provide contrasting it, have always been a part of MGS and it's charm, and that's kind of what makes Fortnite the thing it is today? You have a very serious plot about war and the military and a gravely voiced man and then in the corner a Vampire man does a big dance, and large bi-pedal mechs moo like cows. It's why any time any popular thing is announced in fortnite it kind of becomes a joke. Very serious Rapper Eminem is in Fortnite, and has his personal OC Slim Shady as a playable skin, and he's shoving his hand in Pinata's and chugging slurp juice, it's kind of weird to see someone who takes themself so seriously dancing at the whims of whoever controls him. But that's been a core part of Metal Gear and the Metal Gear Solid Franchise, and the fandom forever. I dunno. I'm not trying to defend the fact that Fortnite is a center for companies to strip their IP of all love and meaning and sell it to us as pure nostalgia and profit. I'm just trying to say I was surprised by how weirdly normal (and to be honest kind fun) it felt to run around RPing Solid Snake in fortnite and I've been at it all day. As someone who originally didn't care one way or the other, and felt kind of cynical about such a beloved character being absorbed into this mess: I'm kinda glad he's here now.

*I know Snake and Big Boss (and by extension Venom/Punished Snake/Boss) are all different characters. But for the sake of this discussion I dipped in and out of talking about Solid Snake and "Snake" (any) as a whole in Metal Gear as a whole

#solid snake #metal gear solid #I've been editing and adding to this for hours I'm just going to push it out or I'll never post it #if it has errors grammatical or lore I'm not going to worry about it you get the gist

Your wish is my command, dear tumblr user dilfmidas.

If you have any questions about the lore, feel free to plop them in my ask box or just rb this post with them lol. I will give ANY chance to spill the beans on the Fortnite lore. And without further ado...

You might want to get a drink. (Either Slurp or Slap.)

I'd like to mention the following lore is cross-referenced between multiple Reddit threads, my own private lore doc, lots of youtube videos, and the Fortnite Fandom wiki. Well... maybe directly copied...uh, plagiarised from the wiki... but hey! It's because... it's VERY accurate, okay?!

Before Chapter 1:

In the beginning, there was nothing.

Then, came everything. Everything being; The Zero Point.

It had just sprung into being, in a burst of pure creation. Basically what we call "The Big Bang., just that it's a funny orb god that did it and not the Milky Way. (I don't know, I don't do science. I just know the Fortnite lore.)

And from The Zero Point, one by one, came countless realities that originated from Zero Point. Each one has its own universe, with its own multiverse, that probably has a bunch of alternate universes, that then also - OKAY, you get it. If it exists, then technically it exists in Fortnite.

The original reality that holds/stores the Zero Point is labeled "Reality Zero" or more uncommonly known, essentially "Ground Zero".

Who knows when, but roughly a thousand plus before the present day:

A scientist known as Geno discovers The Zero Point in the search to create a perfect civilization. He founded the Imagined Order in order to control The Zero Point, and enslave it in order to use it to form his so-dreamed perfect civilization.

With its power, they are able to travel to different Realities and hire more scientists to aid in testing and protecting the Zero Point. In return, The IO would grant them immortality and any protection required for their relations in their own Realities.

Agent Jones is the first to enter Reality Zero, as a test to see what happens, creating the first Snapshot known as Jonesy The First.

(It's possible, more-so likely that The Newscaster seen in Chapter 2 was the original for Ramirez, along with the many other recruits that are also known as "defaults". Such as Spitfire, Hawk, Headhunter, Banshee AND Wildstreak as Chapter 1 examples.)

The IO used The Zero Point to travel to different Realities, causing unnatural events, even disastrously affecting their evolution.

They create The Loop, which is a 22-minute time loop that is used to trap anyone who arrives on the Island.

The Loop uses The Storm to push combatants together over the 22-minute period, eventually closing all the way in and eliminating anyone trapped in it.

If someone is to be the last standing in the loop, at the exact closing point of the storm, they will escape the loop, and wake up in the same spot they left, with all of the Loop's effects gone, yet still trapped on the Island.

Eventually, The Imagined Order began experimenting with The Loop, kidnapping people from different realities and trapping them on the island, where they fought again and again in a Battle Royale.

The IO also creates Bunker Hatches to The Bridge. Geno, in a bet, sends his daughters into the Loop, confident that they were so perfect, they would be the first to escape the loop. When his daughters finally manage to escape the loop, Geno had already replaced them with stronger Snapshots of themselves. (What a shitty father, huh?)

On an Ice Moon, The Ice Kingdom, led by The Ice King, traveled across realities with allies to collect powerful technology, artifacts, and beings too dangerous to exist. When The Ice King's staunchest comrade (Only known otherwise as The Prisoner) argued to use their collected items to alter realities to their liking,

The Ice King froze him and all his knights in his fortress. The Ice King brought The Ice Moon to Reality Zero before freezing himself to sleep forever, leaving The Ice Moon to orbit Reality Zero, deeming it as a safe space.

The Cube King is captured by the Imagined Order. They abuse him for knowledge. The Cube Queen becomes the ruler of The Last Reality due to his absence.

A group of seven members has formed together with the aim of destroying the IO, and liberating The Zero Point.

The Foundation is the leader of the group. The Cube King joins as The Origin and Geno's daughters join as The Imagined and The Order. (Shock! Horror! Nobody would've been able to guess THAT!)

The other members join as The Visitor, The Scientist, and The Paradigm. The Seven fear Geno, as he and the Imagined Order with the control of The Zero Point can cause potentially catastrophic damage to The Omniverse as a whole.

The Seven develop sealed environment suits as a way to enter and leave The Loop anytime they want without being affected by the Loop's effects. The Paradigm left the Seven and joined the IO temporarily, becoming a spy.

That's just before Chapter One. Are you still here? Good. We're up to Chapter 1 now.

Sometime, the main character that the player controls, only dubbed "The Looper" in the future by The Foundation, gets trapped in the Loop and joins the battle royale against other combatants. At the moment there is no additional lore, just a mindless battle royale, with some POI additions sometimes. Or so we thought.

During Season 3, A comet appears in the sky above the island. It gradually gets closer over time. That was until the final weeks of the season, when small meteorites begin to land on the island as a precursor to the larger meteor slowly approaching.

Players theorized that The Comet would destroy Tilted Towers, as the inhabitants of the island who had previously escaped The Loop began observing the mysterious object with telescopes dotted around the island. Signs in tilted towers worry about "the end of the world", along with certain TVs displaying colourful static.

Season 4: The Comet finally slams into the island, crashing into the factories near Salty Springs and mostly destroying Dusty Depot, creating a gigantic crater in the ground, scattered with brand new "hop rocks". Smaller comet fragments land around the island, damaging Tilted Towers, The Prison, and Risky Reels.

At the center of the main crater, formerly Dusty Depot, now called Dusty Divot. A mysterious group that is only known as "The Government" sets up a research station to monitor a mysterious rock at the center of the crater. The mysterious organization takes over construction on the island and begins to patch up the smaller craters around the island and rebuild any other broken areas.

A film production is started about a supervillain; Omega escaping from a prison that was hit by a meteor, forming a robot army of Chromiums and Diecasts, and destroying the heroes using the rocket. Carbide and his team of superheroes fight against Omega in the final showdown of the film.

It turns out that, The Visitor, a member of The Seven, is revealed to have been in stasis in a pod within the Dusty Divot rock. Eventually, he awakens and breaks out, trashing the facility and making his way to the Villain Lair, located in the mountains near Snobby Shores as a prop for an upcoming movie being filmed. Remember that hero-destroying rocket I just mentioned? That's actually a fully-functioning ACTUAL rocket disguised as a prop.

While the movie was being filmed, the Government collects and moves all of the Hop Rocks to the Villain Lair from each of the craters in a convoy of trucks. The Visitor takes over the base and modifies the Rocket to be able to traverse realities using the hop rocks.

The Visitor launches the rocket, opening temporary rifts that teleport the rocket around the island. Eventually, the rocket boosts into the sky, creating a gigantic Sideways Rift leading to a then-unknown destination.

This event destabilized Reality Zero, and left it vulnerable to future invaders.

As Reality Zero continues to destabilize, Rifts around the island begin opening to other Realities, bringing and taking props, or even PEOPLE, to and from Reality Zero. The Sideways Rift grows larger, as it brings and takes more items from Realities. Several Supply Llamas are rifted to various places on Earth, including Paris, Cologne, Cannes, Warsaw, and London.

The Durrr Burger Mascot was rifted into Antelope Valley, California, and was the start of the Season 5 ARG. Several objects were brought to the island instead, including an ancient wagon, dinosaur bones, and a ship anchor.

Remember that big ol' rift in the sky? It's pooling massive amounts of matter to Reality Zero from other realities, causing it to bring in Paradise Palms, The Desert, Lazy Links, and Viking Village to the island, but destroying Moisty Mires and Anarchy Acres in the process. (RIP Moisty Mires, my one true love. Not even Slurpy Swamp could replace you in my heart.)

Smaller rifts are clustered around the changed areas, as space-time in those areas is recovering from the shifts.

Drift is rifted to Reality Zero after painting graffiti on the Durr Burger, and is caught in the transition when the burger is sent back to the island. Drift and his new friends Cuddle Team Leader, Brite Bomber, and Rex travel around the Island, meeting more people and participating in activities.

They visit the Durrr Burger Head, then Lazy Links, then the Race Track, then the Dinosaur statues, then finally Risky Reels.

During the road trip, Drift gets a mask from a stranger, making him a member of the Fox Clan, but also a target for a mysterious group of people. Drift progresses throughout his stages as the weeks go on.

As Reality Zero starts to heal, and The Sideways Rift starts to close, The Imagined Order sends The Enforcers to the island, who aim to restore balance and order. They arrive through rifts and return objects that previously vanished through interdimensional travel back to the island.

The Last Reality exploits the instability of Reality Zero, corrupting The Sideways Rift before it closes, and uses it to transport The Cube to the island through lightning bolts.

And for some reason, everyone has started calling it Kevin.

This process seemed to have exhausted the rift completely and forces it to close almost immediately.

Soon enough, The Cube begins to roll, printing mysterious alien symbols in the ground that become known as Runes, with each surrounded by an anti-gravity dome.

After rolling through Tilted Towers and destroying the brand new building that was just constructed, it reached Loot Lake, entering it and dissolving.

Upon being fully dissolved, the lake turned purple and bouncy, with properties similar to the Cube itself.

The Cube's matter turns solid and reforms underneath the central Loot Lake island. It breaks free, ripping the island out of the Lake and forming a floating island, suspended by a vortex.

The Cube and the island start moving and visit each of The Runes, leeching energy off of them;

(The Runes were theorized to be methods that the cube used to collect energy for later reabsorption, corrupting their surroundings in the process)

After collecting all of the energy from each rune, The Cube grows throughout the house, and once full of energy, directs The Floating Island to return to its beginning spot, now known as Leaky Lake.

It shoots a beam of energy into the sky and starts constructing a portal, presumably to The Last Reality to allow an invasion.

The floating island then shatters into three pieces, revealing the cube in full and starting Fortnitemares 2018. This event fractured the cube material that grew through the floating island, and blasted it around Athena, forming Monster Spawners.

These spawn Cube Monsters, soldiers of The Last Reality to distract The Loopers while the invasion is prepared.

Calamity leads an army of Loopers against The Cube at Leaky Lake, causing it to weaken and its outer shell to melt into a nectar-like substance that drops into the vortex in Leaky Lake and then into The Zero Point.

This nectar substance would be used in the future by The Last Reality as a homing beacon to Reality Zero.

Eventually, the cube explodes, and releases a tremendous amount of energy, enough to damage The Zero Point and sent every Looper into The In-Between.

They are allowed to look around for a minute, before being brought back through a Rift Butterfly.

The Cube also destroys the Floating Island and the Cube Monsters, and wipes away the fog and darkness. Loot Lake's center is reformed into a peaceful paradise with waterfalls and grassy areas.

At the center is a small crater with grass and flowers, containing the cube fragments arranged into a Stonehenge formation.

A.I.M., sent by Sgt. Winter, lands on Flush Factory, plants a flag and observes the loopers in preparation for an invasion.

In a cosmic storm, a fragment of The Ice Moon crashes into the Island's ocean and drifts until it reaches the island at the start of Season 7. With Expedition and The Ice King on it.

Sgt. Winter and his army arrive on Athena with Frosty Flights as their headquarters. They bring X-4 Stormwings (Planes. But those names are more TECHNICAL!) and set up more bases around Athena. A giant iceberg; Polar Peak appears with a castle on the top, holding The Ice King dormant inside, frozen inside ice.

The ice begins to melt due to winter coming to an end, and it wakes up The Ice King, but also reveals a mysterious figure trapped inside ice in the castle. Ice King acquires a shard of a Cube, and uses it to cover the entire Island with snow. The snowstorm also caused the invasion of Ice Monsters, due to the combination of the cube's and the Ice King's powers.

The snow slowly melts again, releasing The Prisoner who was trapped in the castle. He begins breaking free from his chains and regaining his true form, with his final step being a ritual at Wailing Woods.

This would also be the beginning of the Earthquakes, as foreshadowing for the Volcano. The earthquakes created fissures in the ground, one of them destroying the Cursed Building in Tilted Towers.

The Prisoner creates a Volcano inside a jungle and hatches the eggs he stole from Polar Peak that eventually grow up to be Hybrids. They go after Master Key for unknown reasons. The group of Peelys would then hold a Ripening Ritual.

Remember The Government? Yeah, they're back. They set up excavation sites around the island searching for The Vault, being unsuccessful in their first few excavations. A mysterious metal plate is discovered near Loot Lake.

All the excavators move there, setting up a considerably larger site which eventually reveals the Vault in the middle.

Five Runes appear around the map, with each needing a specific task for the Loopers to do in order for them to move. After all of the runes were placed, The Vault's hatch opened, allowing Loopers to go inside. Inside the Vault, numerous Vaulted Items were stored inside crystal pillars.

A desk with Singularity's helmet was also inside the Vault, along with a radio and a few books. The Loopers start to crack the items' cases with their Harvesting Tools, with the Drum Gun's case breaking first. It was then released from the Vault, along with all the Loopers inside.

While The Unvaulting was happening, The Prisoner erupts the Volcano, sending balls of magma to Retail Row and Tilted Towers which completely destroys them (Ironically, the only thing in Tilted that WASN'T destroyed was that Cursed Building).

Polar Peak was also shot, creating a huge crack in the side of the iceberg. Afterward, The Ice King would freeze The Prisoner, sending him plummeting into the water by the island.

During the Eruption, Jonesy and Peely escape into a Bunker in Tilted Towers, enjoying the various activities inside.

Once they went to go eat, it is revealed they have no food. Jonesy turns Peely into a Smoothie, and drank his juice to survive.

After an unknown amount of time, Sentinel opens up the Bunker, and welcomes Jonesy and Peely into Neo Tilted.

After Tilted Towers and Retail Row were destroyed, They are rebuilt as Neo Tilted and Mega Mall. The Vault has been overgrown and turned into an energy source for Neo Tilted using The Zero Point, with Loot Lake becoming a Government base. The now-dormant Volcano has turned into Pressure Plant.

Inside the hole in Polar Peak, you can see the eye of The Devourer.

It later breaks out and starts destroying the nearby landscapes and locations only escaping to the ocean with Polar Peak on it's back. On the other side, at Pressure Plant, a giant elevator is built, and parts of a giant mech are put together piece by piece, with it eventually being finished and colored, becoming the Mecha Team Leader.

Singularity helps build the mech while The Paradigm is allowed to pilot it as a chance to battle The Devourer in case it poses a threat to The Zero Point. Yes, people. The Paradigm AND Singularity ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON. THEY NEVER HAVE BEEN.

The Devourer rises from the ocean, destroying buildings with its laser beam. It heads towards Loot Lake as The Mecha Team Leader activates, flying towards The Devourer. After a fight, The Devourer rips off Mecha's arm, tossing it into the ocean. It heads to The Vault to reach The Zero Point, but before it could, Mecha blows The Devourer away.

It then took The Zero Point out of The Vault, cracking it to get power to use against The Devourer. It then pulls out the Statue Of Singularity from Neo Tilted, which turns out to be a giant sword. The Devourer dashed towards Mecha as Mecha lunges, stabbing the sword into The Devourer's head, killing it. Mecha celebrated with a Floss, before flying off to The Ice Moon. The Zero Point was left over The Vault, destabilizing more every day.

After The Zero Point became unstable, it released a burst of energy along with a Reality Wave, converting Dusty Divot into Dusty Depot. The explosion is frozen by the arrival of The Scientist's meteor just above Dusty Depot. At the start of the season, his pod was already open, meaning he was already on the Island.

The Scientist takes over the grey warehouse in Dusty Depot, and turns it into his workspace. He starts building Rift Beacons, used to create a Sideways Rift over a Location to replace it with its version from an alternate universe.

Behind the scenes, the IO manipulate The Seven into stabilizing The Zero Point, so they don't lose The Bridge and the control they have over it.

Despite being enemies, The Scientist still helps the IO, but unknown if willingly. Neither the Seven nor the IO wanted to lose the bridge, but IO left the Seven to do all the work.

The Scientist's Rift Beacons create Rift Zones, which swaps locations with alternate reality counterparts, each with its unique rules inside. The Scientist first turns Neo Tilted into Tilted Town, Mega Mall back into Retail Row, Paradise Palms into Moisty Palms, Frozen Greasy Grove back into Greasy Grove, and the former location of the destroyed Starry Suburbs into Starry Suburbs. He accidentally destroys the Soccer Stadium, and creates a crater with glitching objects. He also brings back the Floating Island, with more additions like the Motel sign and the Durrr Burger Head.

The Scientist builds a Rocket at Dusty Depot, and launches it, with 6 more Rockets originating from the Rift Zones. All of them create a Rift in front of the frozen Meteor, which pushes it into the rift. A rift appears over Loot Lake which a Rocket emerges from, with the Meteor following behind it. All the Loopers are launched into the sky, after the initial rocket hits The Zero Point's bubble.

The Meteor then hits the bubble, throwing players further away. It struggles to break through, eventually crashing into The Zero Point, creating the Black Hole, which destroys the island and sucks all of its matter into it.

And that's the Prelude and Chapter One. But oh, oh no. We're not even halfway THROUGH the lore. We're only onto CHAPTER 2 NOW.

The Black Hole explodes into The Zero Point once again and releases Apollo, a brand new island created from the matter of the old island within the black hole. The Imagined Order sends in the E.G.O. [Redacted: D4] team to scout the area after they arrive at Apollo through the Crash Site. They travel the whole Island, with IO expecting "similar embedded agents" as a threat against them.

After the Blackout, Athena reorganized into Apollo and Artemis, with Artemis being on the other side of Apollo. Apollo includes locations from Chapter 1, such as Retail Row and Salty Springs. The Bridge is still intact, and the Seven take control of Artemis leaving the IO alone on Apollo. The reforming of the Island also attracts the attention of Galactus, who would not arrive until Chapter 2: Season 4.

A.L.T.E.R. reveal themselves, and go on a hunt for Rippley in an operation led by Toxin and an army of Sludges. Cameo saves Rippley in Frenzy Farm. The rest of the [Redacted: D4] team locate Scratch and send 8-Ball after him. Toxin and Sludges follow the [Redacted: D4] team to the dam near Hydro 16, but they escape using a Motorboat. After the incident, Midas and his agents arrive on Eye Land, with the help of IO.

Midas, the leader of E.G.O, now known as GHOST. forms a group of neutral agents, with unique locations that belong to them. Skye is stationed at The Shark, Brutus at The Grotto, TNTina at The Rig and Meowscles at The Yacht. A.L.T.E.R. also known as SHADOW are also secretly led by Midas himself. As time passes, all the agents choose a faction, and their locations change with them.

After Meowscles betrays GHOST and joins SHADOW, Contract Giller infiltrates The Yacht, and allows Deadpool to take over as a GHOST agent. Members of the X-Force would then arrive at Apollo.

Close to the end of the season, Renegade Shadow disguises themself as a GHOST spy and attempts to raid The Agency by eliminating GHOST Henchmen and taking over The Agency for SHADOW. His attempt was unsuccessful, and his fate is unknown.

Midas builds a Doomsday Device under The Agency, and before fully activating it, turns into SHADOW and shows his true allegiance.

After The Device is activated, it pushes back The Storm, in an attempt to destroy The Loop. The Looper gets sent to The Bridge several times due to the use of the Device, although they are quickly sent back after each time. The Storm fights back against Midas' device, eventually being completely pushed back.

The Loopers are sent to the Bridge once again, where the panicking agents of the Imagined Order can be heard, before being sent back. Upon returning, the Storm has created a massive wall of water. They are sent to the Bridge one final time where they meet Agent Jones. Returning once more, all Loopers arrive in the Battle Bus above the Wall of Water.

After The Device, Apollo gets flooded, leaving certain locations floating over the water, and some submerged. GHOST builds their main base at The Fortilla, and Jules, the daughter of Midas, takes over The Agency and turns it into The Authority. Mysterious people called Marauders appear through Rifts in the sky and land in Marauder Capsules. Kit, the son of Meowscles, turns Box Factory into Catty Corner, and becomes a neutral agent.

A Spaceship crash lands near the island. Loopers help its pilot to repair the spaceship and send it back through a Rift.

In Marvel Universe Reality: 616, Thor and Galactus were on a mission to stop The Black Winter from consuming their reality, allowing Galactus to consume the "5 special planets" to gain the power to defeat it.

After consuming the first planet, Thor and Galactus came across a Sideways Rift that led to Reality Zero. Galactus could sense The Zero Point's energy inside, and dove after it. Thor instructed him not to, but could not stop Galactus.

He dove in before Galactus to warn the inhabitants, only to be met by a group of hostile Loopers. Before he could completely succumb to the effects of the Loop, he called out to Sif, the current guardian of the Bifrost, for help.

Lady Sif brought Tony Stark, Wolverine, Jennifer Walters, Mystique, Doctor Doom, Groot, and Storm to the Island through the Bifrost to help defeat Galactus. She also brought Helicarrier 64, which is used as a base of operations, along with S.H.I.E.L.D Quinjets.

Tony Stark sets up a makeshift base in a barn and builds the Rift Beacons to bring the entire Stark Industries facility to Apollo, along with the surrounding Upstate New York, so he would have the tools to work on a plan to defeat Galactus.

Doctor Doom takes over Pleasant Park and turns it into Doom's Domain, and a group Sentinels decommissioned by Wolverine appear on two mountains. Galactus also deploys his Gorgers to fight against Loopers and scout the island ahead of his arrival, who presently appears as a pulsating, purple star in the night sky.

During Fortnitemares 2020, An unknown henchman performs a ritual on Midas's golden chair and summons Shadow Midas.

He temporarily turns the abandoned The Authority to The Ruins. He brings Ghostly Ghost Henchmen and breaks the respawn drones, turning eliminated players into Shadows.

Tony Stark creates a plan by modifying several battle buses with stark equipment, and then filling them with gamma bombs, then using The Loop to make a billion modified battle bus clones.

Over the course of the season, Galactus gets closer and closer, eventually being distinctly visible in the night sky. After fading from view, Galactus arrives on the island through Artemis and rises from the ocean into Apollo.

Galactus finally commences into action, and fully rises from the ocean. He repeatedly taunts The Loopers before destroying Helicarrier 64, plunging the gigantic aircraft into the ocean.

He then rips out the Zero Point from The Bridge using energy beams emitted from his hands, and attempts to absorb it.

The Zero Point seemingly sensed its power being leeched on by something surrounding it, and cracked itself, condensing into a black hole and sucking Galactus and all of the loopers into The In-Between where countless battle buses are waiting for the battle.

The fight commences, and as The Zero Point is nearly totally exhausted by Galactus, he is tricked into consuming all of the battle buses, which detonate with the gamma cells and injure Galactus, sending him and a Zero Shard through a rift and back to Reality: 616.

During The Devourer of Worlds at Apollo, The Bridge gets heavily damaged due to The Zero Point being ripped out of the facility.

Agent Jones wakes up in his Office with a call from Doctor Slone. She orders him to stop anyone escaping the loop, and to not attract the attention of The Seven.

He would not hear the latter instruction, as foreshadowing for Chapter 2: Season 6, to not draw the attention of The Seven. He packs his Field Pack, and uses the Bridge Terminal to locate the best hunters across all realities.

The Zero Point had stabilized back from a black hole before a catastrophic event could have destroyed the island once again and presently levitated above the center of the island.

However, despite averting disaster, the area surrounding The Zero Point was warped and turned into a desert, with scattered, solid pieces of The Zero Point called Zero Point Crystals lying around.

Elsewhere, around the island, locations and objects from past seasons are brought to the island, including Flush Factory, and Tilted Towers (although the latter was merged with Salty Springs to become Salty Towers).

Oddly enough, these brought-back locations were in approximately the same coordinates as they were on the Chapter 1 island.

The Imagined Order quickly settles themselves throughout the island, still having access to The Bridge through their Surface Hubs.

They build structures for the first 5 Hunters Jones brought at Hunter's Haven and Colossal Coliseum.

The Predator follows Jones to Reality Zero and moves to Hunter's Haven, but makes Stealthy Stronghold his hunting ground. Fitting.

During his mission, Jones visits 18 Realities to bring 30 Hunters to Apollo.

His aim was to cause chaos within the Loop while the IO tries to fix The Zero Point. Using Jones' Portal Device to visit Realities causes the Zero Point to create Pure Portals, making it use its energy and turning it more unstable.

With The Zero Point reaching its final destabilization stage, Jones realizes that the Order isn't doing anything about it, and takes matters into his own hands.

After his access to certain files within IO was revoked, he goes rogue and flies to Apollo, ignoring Doctor Slone's orders. He makes his way through the chaos of the Loop, eventually getting close enough to toss his Portal Device into it.

A few moments later, a meteor appears out of a rift in the sky, crashing into the sand near Dusted Depot. The meteor cracks, revealing another pod like The Visitor's and The Scientist's.

The Foundation steps out of it, immediately attacking Jones. Jones stops the fight by offering to get him Geno and The Sisters in exchange for the Foundation's help in stabilizing the Zero Point.

The Foundation agrees, attempting to untangle the Zero Point tendrils while Jones and The Looper close the new Pure Portals it creates. The Foundation is unable to untangle it, and creates The Spire to contain the Zero Point's blast, sacrificing himself by sealing himself inside The Zero Point.

For it to work, Jones overloads his Portal Device and throws it inside, forcing himself to become trapped in The Loop. The Spire safely contains The Zero Point inside it, allowing it to heal and realign, while at the same time cutting off The Zero Point from The Imagined Order. Throughout Season 6, The IO vanishes from Reality Zero, leaving behind some IO guards to protect The Bridge from intruders.

Raz, a man from Colossal Crops wants to discover the secrets of The Spire, so he teams up with The Looper to steal an Artifact from it, which was the cube nectar that fell into the Zero Point during Season 6.

The Looper also talks to Jonesy The First and Tarana, learning about the corruption of The Spire. Raz betrays The Looper and uses the Artifact, corrupting him and turning him into Glyph Master Raz.

A snapshot of him, prior to his corruption, is left at Colossal Crops. Glyph Master Raz takes over The Spire; formerly guarded by the Spire Assassin.

The snapshot version of Raz is confused, not knowing what happened to him, but sensing that something went wrong with his plan.

The Looper eliminates Glyph Master Raz and takes The Spire Artifact away from him. But it was too late, the Cube's power in the Spire Artifact has already alerted The Last Reality. Yay.

In Reality: NF-1935, The IO teamed up with Lex Luthor to manipulate Batman into helping them regain control of the Zero Point after it had been sealed off by The Spire. They open a Sideways Rift in Gotham City and kick Batman into The Loop.

After countless loop of battle royale, Batman finally escapes the Loop and is able to explore the island, He teams up with a group of escaped Loopers, and then breaks into the IO Hatch. Inside The Bridge he finds the root of the Spire containing The Zero Point. Eternal Voyager jumps into the uncalibrated Zero Point, and is torn to shreds. Batman sees this and understands they need to calibrate the Zero Point before entering it.

Using everyone's individual "dimensional energy," they send everyone home one by one. Deathstroke sabotaged Batman and Catwoman's escape attempt, trapping them on the bridge. With just the two of them and the equipment destroyed, they did not have enough dimensional energy to return to their reality.

They are forced to travel back into the Loop using the Portal Device they stole from Deathstroke to find Harley Quinn, so they can use her added dimensional energy to return.

They are successful and return to their world. While this is happening, Doctor Slone holds a meeting with Lex Luthor, revealing that Slone struck a deal with him to have Batman enter and escape the loop, in exchange for opening a Sideways Rift at the Daily Planet, although this may not be the full extent of their deal.

During the final weeks of the season, UFOs began to abduct people. The IO send their agents to silence rumors of aliens spreading by people like Mari and her radio show. One of IO Helicopters is also attacked, crashing near Hydro 16.

Mari broadcasts a radio channel about aliens and talks to Island-dwellers such as Zorgoton and Turk about it to get their opinions. The location she is in later gets raided by the IO, and Mari does her final broadcast before Chapter 2: Season 7.

Remember The Last Reality? Yeah. The Last Reality arrives with their Mothership and destroys The Spire in their attempt to absorb The Zero Point.

They failed as it had moved down into The Bridge, causing it to deploy Abductors and Saucers in a full-out invasion against Reality Zero.

Between Seasons 6 and 7, The IO had returned to Reality Zero, restoring The Bridge to its former status and taking back control of The Zero Point.

After the invasion begins, the IO reveal themselves to the public, with Doctor Slone coming out as their leader. Moles begin to appear in the IO, relaying information to The Last Reality. Slone recruits the help of The Looper for various tasks, ultimately requiring their help during Operation: Sky Fire.

The people of Believer Beach celebrate the arrival of the aliens, including Sunny and Mari who spread pro-alien messages, while simultaneously spreading anti-IO propaganda.

The IO sets up Satellite Stations across the Island, as the Last Reality sends Saucers to Invade Locations. The Last Reality also takes over Holly Hedges and turns it into a Hatchery for Alien Parasites. Both IO and The Last Reality come with new weapons and technology, like the Grab-Itron and Pulse Rifle.

The Last Reality begins terraforming the island to its environment, attempting to rewrite the DNA of everything to a habitat that suits them.

The Mothership moves towards Slurpy Swamp and opens a hatch, pulling buildings from the ground and taking them into the abduction chamber.

IO sets up camps to investigate the abduction site. After fully abducting the buildings, The Mothership moves on to Coral Castle, leaving what was then called Sludgy Swamp. After Coral Castle is abducted too, The Looper and Slone bait The Last Reality into Corny Complex using cat food and finish their counterattack plan.

The Foundation wakes up at Reality: NF-1935, at the Gotham City harbor. He is greeted by Batman, and tries to move past him but is stopped by his grappling hook. They fight for a brief moment, as Batman thought the Foundation was a member of the Imagined Order, but is stopped when Foundation is surprised by Batman's knowledge of the Zero Point, allowing Batman to conclude Foundation was not part of the organization that trapped him in the Loop.

The Foundation explains the Seven's goal, and agrees to help Batman close the Sideways Rift. The Foundation is tricked by The Batman Who Laughs who dives after the rift. The Foundation follows him into the Loop, resulting in a quick skirmish between them. The Batman Who Laughs damaged the Foundation's visor, making him susceptible to the Loop's effects. He kills The Batman Who Laughs, but he begins to panic as his visor won't be repaired before the Loop resets. The Storm closes around him, but vanishes in an instant. He had escaped the Loop once more by being the last organic sentient entity in the center of the Storm as it closed.

The Batman Who Laughs is brought back by the Loop, now trapped inside of it. His visor, being crafted from the World Forge, protects him from the Loop's speech-impeding effect. It does not however protect him from Snapshots, which are created soon after.

On the last day of Corny Complex's Abduction, Slone prepares a group of Loopers to infiltrate The Mothership to activate the bombs placed attached to the chunks of land being abducted. The Mothership starts the abduction, and all the Loopers are placed inside experiment-holding cells. Slone hacks the Alien Jetpack to gain remote access into the Motherships systems and opens the holding cells. They go through a number of rooms and tunnels until they are spotted and cornered in the Abduction Chamber Window. During the first attempt to arm the bombs, some sort of countermeasure is activated and the activation fails. The windows close and a Corruption Cube rises from the floor, zapping Loopers to eliminate them. Slone weaponizes the Jetpacks and deactivates the Cube with the few remaining Loopers. The windows open again, and Slone attempts to activate them for a second time. It works, and Slone reveals that she cannot bring the Loopers back to the Island, so as to not risk the cube returning as well.

The Loopers Reboot the Cube by placing their hands on it together, and The Cube activates an elevator. The Loopers are taken to a massive chamber full of Cubes and Abductors, with the Golden Cube being present at the very back of the room. The Mothership blows up, sending Loopers and everyone inside The Mothership flying down to Apollo. Multiple Abductors crash down to the Island, alongside a group of Corruption Cubes, the Golden Cube and the Rebooted Cube. The Looper gets hit by an Abductor, and passing out.

After the Cubes landed on the Island, they corrupted the landscape around them, except for the Golden Cube that landed near Holly Hedges. Slone and a group of IO Guards form a Convoy near Destroyed Dish, and collect the remaining Alien technology. The Golden Cube quickly awakes and begins rolling around the Island, visiting each Corruption Cube and activating them one by one.

All of the Cubes, once activated, create smaller Cubes (with the exception of the one that broke free from Steamy Stacks). All cubes begin to move towards The Aftermath, leaving a trail of corrupted land in their wake.

All The Cubes conjoin to form a caste-like structure called The Convergence. The Cube Queen leaves her Golden Cube and begins to hover over the structure. The Convergence grows larger every day, eventually becoming The Pyramid.

With the formation of The Pyramid, the Cube Queen releases her strongest Cube Monster: Caretakers.

J.B. Chimpanski founds the War Effort to collect funds for Weapons to use against The Cube Queen. He starts with the funding of Turret Stations, before moving on to armaments such as the Shockwave Launcher and Combat Assault Rifle. Later on, he uses the funds to unvault the Combat Shotgun and Flint-Knock Pistol.

In a final funding campaign, he brings two Salvaged B.R.U.T.E.s to the fight. One at Corny Crops, and the other at Pleasant Park. As a base, the Guava Fort is constructed to protect them and prepare for an attack. Slone and her Convoy reach **REDACTED**, opening it and finally revealing the IO Staging Facility.

The Rebooted Cube teleports to the Guava fort to assist The Loopers against The Cube Queen, as her onslaught was about to begin.

She gathers her power to open a Rift to The Last Reality, with the Cube's Cradle in view. The Golden Motherships send out Saucers that attack The Loopers, but The Rebooted Cube protects them with its shield.

Golden Abductors start destroying Locations across the Island, with one targeting the Rebooted Cube, leaving The Loopers defenseless.

Meanwhile, in The Bridge, Slone and Gunnar are interrogating Jones, until The Foundation breaks in to save him.

They run to the Zero Point chamber, and the Foundation tears down one of the panels as cover. The Foundation tells Jones to disable the Gyro System, and the Island begins to flip.

The Visitor and The Scientist arrive at Guava Fort, rescuing The Loopers. The Scientist takes them inside The Bridge through a Hatch.

They run through the bridge as the Island rotates more and more, eventually reaching the Zero Point chamber to meet up with Jones and The Foundation. A Caretaker slams down on the glass ceiling, cracking it. The Caretaker slams down two more times, breaking it and flooding the room.

The Looper floats up into the ocean, witnessing Apollo flipping over to Artemis. The Cube Queen comes in contact with water and is defeated before rifting away. The portal closes, stopping the invasion of The Last Reality. The Island fully flips, causing a massive tidal wave that knocks the Looper out, beginning the Float To Artemis.

That...that's it, right? Chapter Two? That's it? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S A THIRD CHAPTER?

The Looper wakes up at Looper Landing, finding the Foundation, and a few other Loopers gathered around a campfire.

The Foundation explains that with the IO exploiting the Zero Point, they will never be safe from threats such as The Last Reality, and the whole Omniverse is in danger as long as they are in control.

He asks for the Loopers' help, explaining that if they succeed, they can all go home.

The IO quickly start drilling into Artemis and reach the surface through 5 Mole Teams. They take a cavern inside a mountain and convert it into Covert Cavern a stronghold for the IO.

The Big Drill begins drilling in the direction of Sanctuary, the home of the seven, leaving sinkholes in its wake. IO Patrol cars also drive around the Island, attacking anyone they come across.

The Looper secretly listens to the Seven Secure Broadcast Channel, learning that The Scientist is attempting to get the help of The Paradigm by having her return to the Island.

The Scientist learns of the Looper listening in and welcomes it. He warns them that war is coming, and to be ready for when it arrives. The Seven launch various rockets for recon missions, with some being sabotaged by the Imagined Order. The Scientist employs the help of the Looper for assistance in stopping the sabotages.

The Imagined Order finally unleash their attack on The Seven and Artemis, as a giant drill emerges from underneath Artemis, proven to be the cause of the previous earthquakes plaguing the island. Titan Tanks and Airships are deployed against The Loopers and The Seven, who clash with the invaders. The IO proceeds to disable the building features and overrun the defenders, who are subsequently saved by Doctor Strange, who opens a portal and reveals Iron Man, The Visitor, The Scientist, as well as Black Widow, and two never-before-seen members of the seven called The Origin and The Imagined, with the latter being one of the sisters.

The Imagined recruits The Looper to help her bring Building back by destroying IO's build jammers. The Origin, Jones, and The Imagined task the Looper to help them make a counterattack against the IO, and gain an advantage in war.

The Seven's Resistance fights back against the Imagined Order to reclaim The Daily Bugle, Condo Canyon, Coney Crossroads, Rocky Reels, and Tilted Towers from IO's control. The IO send Airship, Huntmaster Saber, and IO Hunters to fight back but all of their efforts soon turned out futile. All IO Outposts are destroyed and the IO forces soon retreat back to the center of the island.

Agent Jones receives intel that the IO is producing a doomsday device. IO's latest movement was spotted near Dispatch Depot. weeks later. The Paradigm detected golden energy fluctuations in multiple spots around Loot Lake. Soon the Imagined Order built The Collider, a device capable of detonating The Zero Point and destroying everything in The Loop.

The Visitor comes up with a plan to stop The Collider by using The Paradigm's Mecha Team Leader that was left on The Ice Moon. The Scientist suggests that going to The Ice Moon would be risky, but Spider-Man has the idea to call heroes from his reality to help them, specifically Thor and Storm with their abilities to manipulate the weather. The Origin tasks the group heading to Reality: 616 to retrieve The Zero Shard. Everyone agrees and splits up.

The Foundation, Jones, The Imagined, and Spider-Man stealthily infiltrate The Bridge. Jones guides everyone through The Bridge, until he is distracted when he finds his office and takes a picture of his late family with them. When they reach The Zero Point, they are stopped by Doctor Slone and Gunnar. Jones opens a Zero Point portal to Reality: 616, and he, Spider-Man, and The Imagined enter.

On Slone's command, Gunnar strikes The Foundation through the ceiling. With her enemies out of the picture, Slone ignores the others with the little time they have left.

Spider-Man, Jones, and The Imagined arrive in Reality: 616, and they quickly send the Avengers to the Island to help the resistance. They head to fetch Wolverine to help track the Zero Shard.

Meanwhile, Doctor Doom is chosen by the inner circle of the Imagined Order to join them as a valued addition and Geno is able to recruit him.

The Imagined is able to track The Zero Shard at Mena Ngai, Wakanda. After a battle against the Wakandans, the princess of Wakanda, Shuri, quickly dispatches the fight and welcomes the group into Wakanda.

Although The Imagined's tech is not able to trace down the exact location of the Zero Shard due to Wakanda's Vibranium interfering, Wolverine's scent determines that The Zero Shard was no longer there, and the smell of lizards remained. When Shuri leads the group to Serpent Valley, they discover a base guarded by Hybrids.

As the group battles the lizard ninjas, the base is destroyed and they lose the trail for the Zero Shard. Spider-Man suggests heading to the Savage Land to find Stegron the Dinosaur Man, who is most likely responsible for taking the Zero Shard.

The Foundation, Scientist, Iron Man arrives on The Ice Moon safely with help of Thor and Storm's weather-calming abilities.

The group finds the broken Mecha Team Leader lying on the icy surface with The Paradigm alive in the mech. The Paradigm is awakened from stasis and attempts to convince The Foundation that she is not a traitor, as her reason for siding with the IO during The Final Showdown was to prevent them from building a doomsday device that could destroy the entire island along with The Devourer.

Back in Earth 616, Spider-Man, Jones, The Imagined, Wolverine, and Shuri travel to the Savage Land, where they manage to find more Hybrids.

After defeating them all, the group camp for the night. The Imagined explains her relationship to Geno to Wolverine as Jones explains his past with the Imagined Order to Spider-Man and how he worked with them to ensure his family's safety but was never able to rest with them when they all passed and he remained immortal.

The next day, Wolverine and Shuri tracked the Hybrids to a lab in the Savage Land, where they find Stegron and primal creations of the High Evolutionary using the power of The Zero Shard.

The group battles the High Evolutionary and Stegron as a distraction for Spider-Man to break into the lab, only to discover that leading the group to the lab and battling the High Evolutionary was Doctor Doom's plan to steal The Zero Shard himself using the Hybrids as his minions. As Doctor Doom uses the Zero Shard to escape, the battle against the High Evolutionary ends, as he only wanted to defend the Zero Shard. The High Evolutionary informs the group that Doctor Doom traveled to Reality Zero, and the group quickly uses Jones' Portal Device to chase after him.

The group track Doctor Doom to The Ice Moon, where they find a castle trapping The Ice King and several of the powerful items he collected in ice. The Ice Moon proceeds to become colder despite Thor and Storm's efforts. Doctor Doom appears and battles them using The Zero Shard and many of the powerful items in the castle.

Despite his efforts, Spider-Man is able to retrieve The Zero Shard and get it to the Mecha, fully repaired but requiring a power source.

With The Zero Shard, the Mecha is repaired and Doctor Doom flees to the Island. The Mecha retrieves the group on the ground, destroys The Ice King's castle, and prepares to travel to the Island.

On The Ice Moon, The Origin gave the Loopers a mission briefing. The Paradigm then enters, and initiates the Mecha launch sequence, with the four Loopers entering the battle stations.

The Mecha heads for the Island. It lands at Synapse Station, only to be greeted by battalions of the Imagined Order's tanks. The Mecha slowly walk head towards The Collider while fighting off the IO. The Mecha is hit by a barrage of missiles coming from IO Airships, heavily damaging it. Peely arrives in a Slurp truck and heals the Mecha with it.

The Mecha pulls out its Light Blade, slashing through the remaining IO Airships. After the final IO vehicles have been destroyed, The Paradigm diverts all power to the Light Blade, and prepares to destroy the Collider. Before this can happen, an underground explosion occurs, and the Mecha falls into the ground below. The Paradigm and the Loopers are ejected from the Mecha.

The Zero Point has been exposed and the Collider is forcing it to explode. Jones comes to assist the Mecha crew. Doctor Slone arrives in a tank, and Jones begins leading the Loopers toward Slone, while the Paradigm attempts to get the Mecha back online. The Foundation arrives and eliminates several IO Guards. The Collider pulls The Zero Point towards the bottom of the Collider, shifting realities along the way.

Meanwhile, Geno joins the battle on the collider upper levels and fight against his daughters. Though Geno doesn't want to kill them, The Imagined sacrifices herself and falls into The Zero Point alongside Geno. Geno seemingly unharmed, angrily commands the IO to wipe these failures out of existence before entering the Zero Point.

The Paradigm manages to get the Mecha back online, and as Jones is distracting Slone with a speech, she crushes Slone and her tank with the Mecha's fist, destroying a part of the bridge.

The Paradigm then begins to lift the Loopers, Jones, and The Foundation upwards towards the top of the Collider, with the latter two jumping into the Zero Point when it focuses on Geno.

The Loopers then destroy the crystal detonators, and the Zero Point falls back below. The Paradigm protects the Loopers as the Collider collapses.

Meanwhile, Jones and the Foundation fist bump as they enter Geno's reality. They get to see Geno and The Imagined slowly discorporate, getting scattered across The Omniverse. Geno's remnants travel through multiple Realities, winding up at a singular spot and reforming Geno.

After The defeat of The Imagined Order with the destruction of The Collider, an island-wide celebration of The Seven's victory begins.

Former IO facilities are vandalized, with with the former IO headquarters, Command Cavern, being transformed into Rave Cave. The Zero Point is now exposed and underneath The Glow, surrounded by debris from The Collider.

It forms The Reality Tree, which then creates the Reality Falls biome on the island. A Klombo can be found "dead" near Loot Lake, but Haven reports Klombo footprints indicating that the species is still alive. Somewhere.

The Reality Tree grows its roots towards Logjam Lumberyard, creating a small tree from its roots which later grew into a Reality Bloom. This turned Logjam Lumberyard into Logjam Lotus, a location that changes its theme with each Loop. Roots also grew towards Butter Barn, Tumbledown Temple. It also changed other locations such as Sleepy Shrubs, Condo Canyon, and even brought back Lazy Lagoon, replacing The Daily Bugle.

The Zero Point started bringing in a lot of powerful artifacts from many realities in an attempt to warn everyone on the island of the upcoming danger. The Paradigm received reports that some Loopers on the island and some members of The Seven randomly disappear.

The remaining members of the Seven attempted to investigate. As this is all happening, strange chrome substances are spreading across the island, consuming The Origin and The Scientist.

The Paradigm escapes to Reality: 659.

The Herald of the Last Reality arrives after watching over Reality Zero during Chapter 3: Season 3 and is responsible for causing the chrome to spread. She sets up her Herald's Sanctum at the former Sanctuary.

As Chrome spreads throughout Artemis No Sweat Insurance tries to save buildings from being affected by the Chrome. many buildings were lifted by No Sweat Insurance to become Cloudy Condos. Their headquarters at Tilted Towers were also lifted. As Chrome spreads and affects Coney Crossroads and Sleepy Sound, No Sweat Insurance saves restaurants from those locations by lifting them off the ground.

An IO Airship over Rave Cave was taken by the Loopers and becomes The Flairship. It is being used to rescue residents of the island from Chrome spread as the airship flies around the island and stops at major locations.

The Paradigm contacts Jones to find a way to stop the arrival of The Nothing.

She then commands the Looper to investigate the Reality Tree and Roots. After the Looper investigates the Reality Tree, the Looper collects Chrome samples and sends them to the Paradigm to perform an experiment on Chrome spread.

Battle Plans written by The Origin were obtained by the Looper. Meanwhile, Bytes was chosen by the Nothing itself to be a warrior for The Last Reality.

And then it was radio silence. Until...

A group of loopers on the Island build a stronghold on the top of the Reality Tree as a final defense against the power of The Herald.

Several Chrome Vortexes appear, spreading the Chrome across the entire Island. A final Chrome Vortex forms near the Reality Tree, along with The Herald.

Despite the efforts of the loopers to attempt to destroy The Herald, even with their split-second moment of victory - she forms a massive body made of Chrome and fuses with the Reality Tree, resulting in her sacrificing herself, but leading to the nearly complete destruction of both Artemis and Apollo, excluding the Zero Point.

The Looper finds themselves in space surrounded by several chunks of land remaining after the fracture of the Island. The Zero Point, however, manages to tether onto pieces of land, as well as the Looper, and pull them all in to begin the reconstruction of a new island. The loopers begin exploring the lands and completing tasks to collect Zero Fragments to restore enough power to the Zero Point to pull in more pieces of the island and eventually initiate Zero Fusion. The Zero Point begins to take pieces of land and characters from different realities, including Reality-659 where The Paradigm was. With enough land, the Zero Point fuses all the land together, creating the new Island. Asteria.

That's three? Phew! Okay, good, we're done - right, no, there's a fourth. okay. great.

Out of the pieces of land that were pulled in to fuse into the new Island, one of the locations was The Citadel, a medieval castle from another reality ruled by Oathbound.

The Looper takes orders from AMIE as they discover more about the Island, as well as Oathbound. The Kingdom's power source is a refined material mined from a quarry called Shattered Slabs: Kinetic Ore.

When refined, the material becomes an extremely powerful energy source that is used in the fuel, weapons, and items of the Oathbound, a material that wasn't on any of the previous islands.

Several Characters and locations on the Island have formed an alliance, swearing an oath that bounds them to the kingdom, becoming the earliest version of the nearly perfected Imagined Order. The kingdom is ruled by The Ageless, a younger Snapshot of Geno, before the iO was formed.

And from now on.... we just wait for the next Oathbound quests.

Although, it's possible that the future plot points will have something to do with the Reality Warden, Reality Warriors, and the mysterious Rift Gate that is currently under construction.
