Claim The Throne
As Bahamut and Icarus had the plan ready as Kieran agreed to help them as Luke, Kieran and Sylvie wants to stop The Ageless as well. Kieran then when up stairs to see if Ageless is there as lucky would have it.
Ageless is there but, Luke is holding him off for Kieran to fire at Ageless as he can’t hold Ageless much longer.
Kieran aims and fires at The Ageless but, he was quick as he push Luke away and has his weapon out to fire back. Luke then calls to his brother to slide the Ex-caliber to him as he draws Ageless to him.
Once he got Ageless attention as he charge at him. “After all I’ve done?! Is this how you both repay me?!” Ageless boom at them both.
“You mean after what you used in the sky to make a portal but, to bring someone else to destroy our home?!” Luke reply’s back as he then notice that in his hands on the Ex-caliber that turn to green. “What the? Am I doing this?” He said to himself as a split second when Ageless is about to use the shockwave hammer but, at the last second. Luke fired on the ground which then Ageless has miss but, sends Luke flying from the hammer. As the sword energy then blows the ground as the king fells to where his throne room is. He then lands on his feet and checks around. That is when someone is sitting on his throne.
“Who dares?! Wait. Your the one that I was looking for? State your name?!” Ageless ask.
“Looks like this is our first meeting but, your not him. However I’ll she’ll best you. I know what your doing but, I know that I’ll have to lead them to have the people on this island to prepare for what’s coming.” Icarus said to Ageless. “Oh yeah. The name is Icarus. Son of Bahamut.” He adds.
“I know of what I did. If you beat me? So be it, Icarus. If you wish to lead the people of Asteria. I accept your challenge.” Ageless then ready his hammer as Icarus has his version of Ageless sword. They both charge as Icarus blocks and is able to get the upper hand. Though Ageless isn’t holding back. He then swings his hammer which breaks the wall.
The two kept up with the fight as Icarus runs at him and took the chance to disarm him and had him at his mercy. “I yield. You have bested me.” Ageless says as Icarus holds out a hand for him. He takes it and got up. “Now I see it. Though I hope you don’t make the same mistake as I did.” He adds.
“I won’t. I’ll protect the kingdom and the people. Though right now. I think Tiamat influences has been broken and I want you to be by my side.” Icarus said as he and Ageless both shake hands of sign of agreement.
As a few months when by. Icarus along with his gf/wife/queen Dusty to help and have been doing their best to lead Asteria. Icarus then meets with Thunder as they team up to bring peace. He had sent to look for Luke. Though no sign of him but, they sent searching. Kieran and Sylvie won’t give up on to finding Luke.
“I know we’ll find him. I promise you that.” Sylvie said as she smile slightly.
“Thanks. I hope so too.” Kieran said as he looks up at the moon and the two hold hands as they be ready for what’s to come.

As well as my work on Marvel Earth-6161, I had an idea for a post-apocalyptic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles story!
The idea for this came from a few things. 1.) I’d always wanted to write a TMNT story, but always thought, “But what could I do that hasn’t been done before?” And as a horror writer, the idea of inserting them into that genre always intrigued me. 2.) playing as Donatello during a majority of Chapter 5 Season 3 of Fortnite! Ya know… the season a lot of people hated? The one with the cars… well I LOVED it. And pictured the Turtles thriving in a world where Donnie was modding vehicles and building all kinds of fun contraptions for them. And 3.) just after Chapter 5 Season 3 of Fortnite came out, I saw Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Which is still, hands down, my movie of the year. All of these things, along with my love for the Fallout series of video games gave me the idea to do a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles story that took place in a world that was post-nuclear fallout.
Now, just like my Iron Man post from a few days ago, I’d like ideas!! Any and all ideas are welcome!! I think it could be fun to do what the original Mirage run of TMNT did in the 80s, parodying the gritty and dark comics of the time and instead, with this fan project, parody the gritty and dark films of the 80s.
I do have some ideas. I think Splinter should be human in this version as I’ve always loved him being human before his mutation as opposed to him being a rat first. It’s something that separates him from the boys. And the other idea is that the turtles will be created from experiments performed by Baron Draxum.
Oh and because the world has ended, the turtles won’t NEED to hide, as there are other mutants in the world at large. I think I’ll have them live in a similar area to Mutant Town from the IDW comics. Except it’s more slum-like. Showing humanities neglect of the mutant community.
Anyway, IDEAS. GO!!

WOW IVE JUST DISCOVERED THAT YOU WTOTE FOR MCSM AND FORTNITE??? Two of my favorite things in the entire world— I mean I’m one of those losers who’s been following the fortnige storyline since there was nothing besides like, the rocket event. And I love mcsm as much as the next person. Probably more. Anyway.
Were you involved anyway in the zero war storyline? So like, the Sisters and Jones’ backstory, having a wife and kids and all that? And if so, were there any plans to like, delve further into his story? Because it’s crazy to believe that this goofy guy Jones has an entire family that he watched die and stuff. And also how long were you involved in the storyline? Was it just zero crisis and stuff or did you go into the current storyline in chapter 4, which has an extreme lack of the seven and jones 💔💔
And if so, anything you can share about the Imagined? Or Stellan. They’re my absolute favorites.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Haha wow thanks so much for all the kind words! I started working on Fortnite during Chapter 2: Season 3 (the flood season) and helped develop the story up through the end of Chapter 3: Season 1. Most of the backstory for the Seven and Jones and whatnot was by our creative director Donald Mustard, but I still got to help here and there which was fun. My favorite thing I got to write was the Audiologs for Jones gathering all the bounty hunters in Chapter 2: Season 5 - so much fun to do those little audio dramas, especially since it reunited me with Troy Baker who I worked with back in the day on Tales from the Borderlands and Telltale’s Batman.

Salutations, How did you fell in love with fortnite( esp. the nutcracker) ?
Have a joyous day 🌟
I played fortnite chapter 1 season 3 to the very start of chapter 1 season 7... the gameplay was really fun but I didn't have anyone to play with really so I ended up falling out of playing it for a year
then I saw that there was a new chapter and was like. fuck it. why not. and redownloaded the game
yeah I haven't dropped it in like 4 years (that's weird to say. how the fuck has it been that long)
and I made new friends when I got back into it and I have ppl to play with now :3
anyways as for the nutcracker I cant exactly remember... iirc it was hearing his character in save the world and I was hooked. love me some silly freak insane guys. fuck yes.
my dad actually gifted me crackshot cause I wasn't abt to spend all my vbucks on one skin and I just wanted the crackdown emote really
so after that I used him a lot and eventually just got very mentally ill over stupid fucking fortnite nutcracker bc I adore his character a lot
I've never been this like. hooked on a character before. so hooked that i get quite horribly joyous over seeing any content abt him whatsoever and will get very giggly about it
it's gotten to the point where I've started to actually collect nutcrackers for my room. and if any nutcracker cosmetic exists in a game you bet your ass im getting it

I was about to make a post about how Fortnite Chapter 5's overarching story seemed to be all over the place, but then I realized I've only completed Chapter 3 Season 1 and Chapter 4 Seasons 1+2's story missions, so I was not the most knowledgeable person to complain about it

Fortnite Chapter 4: Season 4 - Last Resort.
That seems drastic. But with the circumstances, it makes sense.
This season that people somehow confuse for a spy theme is themed after a heist. A billionaire vampire with a time machine has set up camp on the island, and Nolan Chance, his crew have to steal something that Dr. Slone wants. Apparently the island's fate depends on it. They are her last resort.
I really like the battle pass characters this time around. We spend the season getting to know them and recruiting them for this heist. There's the mastermind, Nolan Chance. He's really good at a lot of things, but maintaining relationships might not be one of them. There's the stunning Antonia, baby driver Piper Pace, adorable Mae and the surprisingly thoughtful Fish Thicc.
alongside Kado Thorne, Famous Tik Tok star Khaby Lame also appears in this battle pass. It's really funny that they brought him along. He's a great addition.
...Ahsoka is strangely... there.
The loot pool made the gameplay tight. The rocket ram was a traversal item that sent you flying into the air, and straight down. This put the fear of god into the hearts of competitive players, as the risk of getting dive bombed in endgame was now there. It was pretty bad as it was funny. There was also the twin mag assult rifle, a faster but less powerful red eye. you could absolutely shred people with this thing. Further into the season, they unvaulted more fun weapons and the sort.
Speaking of new additions, the properties owned by Kado Thorne appeared on the island. Players were able to break into them and steal a random mythic item to choose from the vault underground. When you stole something from them, cool chase music also plays. Everyone in the location heard this music as the alarms went off, so escaping became a challenge with the threat of other players. This also meant for the chance of running into someone with 1/3 mythic items, since there were three of these places.
There were other patches too, like Fortnightmares. Instead of night and day, the sun was eclipsed and the blood moon rose at night during games. It's a cool detail. Fighting others under a blood moon is hard.
At the end of things, this was one of my favorite fortnite seasons, and a decent end to one of my favorite chapters. I had a lot of fun this season, and i improved a LOT. I hope the next chapter goes crazy, there were a lot of letdowns this chapter. Even though, i had fun.

The Gradual Degradation of Fortnitemares
Getting to be so let down with Fortnite lately. Much like how people get excited for Scream Fortress, Fortnitemares used to be this incredible thing. All the houses on the map would get decorated with inflatable witches and pumpkins and ghosts. There were spooky graveyards to explore, all kinds of fun stuff
As Fortnite continued and they leaned more and more on the lore, the map got away from urban environments. Fewer houses means fewer decorations. And Fortnite started getting into a habit where chapters got shorter and shorter and shorter -- Chapter 1 was something like three or four years, Chapter 2 was two years or less, and Chapter 3 was almost one year on the nose, ending just after Fortnitemares in 2022. Dataminers suggest that Chapter 4 was also supposed to end after Fortnitemares 2023, but the new map isn't ready yet, so supposedly Epic is considering a tiny interim season just for December so they can take Christmas break in peace and worry about launching the new chapter when they get back. I think that's fair.
Going back to the urban environments -- Chapter 1 Fortnite was all about towns. Greasy Grove, Tomato Town, Pleasant Park, Retail Row, all of them were full of houses. Retail Row would even get a Halloween Store like the map's own personal Spirit Halloween that you could visit if you wanted to see all the Halloween decorations in one room. It also had multiple farms, and farms mean things like corn mazes and more.
Chapter 2 was, in every way, a better Fortnite. Everything was more organic feeling than the Chapter 1 map was. It felt less tile-based. And it still had plenty of towns -- notably, Pleasant Park and Retail Row carried forward, and close to one fourth the map was covered in a vast forest that could be kind of spooky even in the summer. Also, that Halloween store got an upgrade, moving to its own location -- the Halloween MegaStore, which not only housed TONS of decorations, but even displayed previews of Fortnitemares Skins. As Fortnitemares drew close, the entire map was enveloped in spooky, endless fog, showing off Unreal Engine 4's great volumetric lighting, and a special "Nightmare Royale" mode was enabled, where you respawned as ghosts that could terrorize the living.
Chapter 3's map was hard fantasy. Coastal settlements dominated by "The Seven", whose buildings were charitably described as "We have Star Wars at home." What urban environments it had were quickly destroyed -- not much reason to put up decorations in a demilitarized zone, after all. A house or two dotted around the map still featured the very rare Halloween decoration, but things were so dire that they straight up teleported a spooky farm into the middle of the map right before Fortnitemares just so they'd have something. Whereas Halloween would take over large portions of previous maps, the farm and the map's giant "reality tree" were the only places designated as Halloween-safe zones. Getting near them would enable a special vision mode that would suddenly make everything look dark and foggy, but 99% of the map remained un-spooky. It was, bar none, the worst Fortnitemares in the entire history of the game.
Chapter 4's big new feature was its modular map. Sort of like how they dropped a farm into Chapter 3, in Chapter 4, huge segments of the map changed from season to season. Cyberpunk cities just dropped out of the sky one day, as did Japanese pagodas, plus vast (and annoying) jungles dug up from underground. The map even launched with spooky castles built right in by default and maybe the biggest farm the game had ever seen. Even back in January, I was thinking, "this could make Fortnitemares awesome again."
Chapter 4 has been a mess. This Gamespot article talks about what a jumble it is -- and before you ask, yes, Fortnite does have a storyline. Or it used to. Chapter 4 was apparently planned out well in advance and then (as per rumors) the order of everything may have gotten mixed up as crossover plans shifted or were canceled entirely. Friends and I figured this was what also spoiled Fortnitemares 2022 -- a rumored Lady Gaga concert ultimately never materialized, despite the season's "spooky rave" motif. The suggestion now in 2023 was that Epic had apparently been banking on a Persona 5 crossover to launch season 2, and when they weren't allowed to use Joker, it threw all of Chapter 4 out the window with it. The game has spent the last 11 months spinning its wheels and under-delivering on map updates -- sure, each season sees massive changes, but Fortnite used to actually mean a Fort Night, with bi-weekly updates that would shift a dozen mini-stories forward bit by bit.
Chapter 4 does none of that. The map changes once every three and a half months and that's basically all you get outside the thinnest strands of MMO-style quest progression and an overarching narrative that has gone from "not really making much sense" to "beyond a waste of time."
So stop me if you know where I'm about to go with this: Chapter 4, Season 4 launched maybe a month ago, and as of a night or two ago, Fortnitemares 2023 officially began.
That big spooky castle? They dropped a tropical resort on top of it.
The biggest farm in Fortnite history? So far... untouched.
Halloween decorations? The most you get is a candy bowl sitting on a curb of some houses.
There are little bits of Halloween flavor -- the tropical resort is owned and operated by a Playboy Vampire (in the James Bond sense, not the porn sense). Since the launch of Nitemares 2023, he's vamped out, and you get a special shotgun that shoots wooden stakes. But he's also trivially easy to fight, even by the standards of Fortnite's usual PVE "boss" characters.
youtube
Nitemares staples like the Pumpkin Launcher and the Witch Broom have returned, though the Broom has less "returned" than been wholesale replaced with something that, to me, feels considerably more nerfed compared to the original item (it also doesn't make the cool sounds anymore).
And, like, it's early, yet. We could still just be getting started. Maybe the best is yet to come. Epic was apparently telling streamers that Fortnitemares this year was "going to be big." But I look at things right now and I feel the same underwhelming feeling I've had all of Chapter 4. And I look at the news lately that a lot of Epic people, guys like Donald Mustard, Sergiy Galyonkin, and one of Fortnite's chief artists, Drew Hill, have all left the company over the course of Chapter 4... plus the state Fortnite itself lately...
And it's starting to feel like there might be writing on the wall.
Over a year ago, half jokingly, a friend told me about his theory for the eternalization of Fortnite. Epic would probably never retire the game, but they would restructure its output so that new seasons would funnel into the game's growing Creative Mode, effectively turning it from a Battle Royale into their equivalent of Roblox. And the more time goes on, the more what he said is starting to feel right. Fortnitemares also features the game's newest UI refresh, which pushes creative maps right on to the main home screen in something that looks more like Amazon Prime Video than a video game.
Now, maybe more than at any point in history, Fortnite feels the most like The Product and not a game. One designed to take less resources to maintain and continue to generate some amount of infinite money.
I never expected the good times to last forever, but it's sobering to think Fortnite's best years may be long gone and never to return.

Fortnite - MEGA thoughts.
This season looks rather fun in the gameplay department, lots of new mechanics, hopefully big map changes (the city looks MASSIVE,) and a lot mobility. I won't lie though, I'm very concerned for the story. I hope it is at least passable.
I never thought the Fox Clan or Peace Syndicate would have any real lore significance but here we are. Just kind of, throw in, with little build up. It looks like, based off the trailer, they'll be at conflict with each other.
My trepidation is that it feels totally disjointed from the storyline that just happened. The Oathbound, the knights, THE AGELESS (WHO IS LITERALLY GENO,) and The Rift Gate. It seems the appearance of Mega City is likely due to the rift in the sky, and the two factions are taking hold due to the chaos, but aside from that, what does this have to do with the larger story?
What happened to AMIE? The Seven? The Last Reality? Are they gonna get rid of Stellan? I fucking hope not, he's amazing, one of the best written and voiced characters in Fortnite. It feels so odd to have all this built up and then suddenly be dropped. I'm sure they'll be back at some point, but it just feels so disjointed. I guess it's a lot like Chapter 1, which is what a lot of people want, but I much preferred the storytelling of Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. But to be fair, this is how I felt about Chapter 2 Season 7, and we saw how that turned out, so who knows! This could be peak Fortnite.
We'll just have to wait and see. What do y'all think?
#fortnite#fortnite lore#fortnite mega#my opinions#nobody cares but i feel the need to share them anyways#fortnite the seven#fnbr#fortnite battle royale#new fortnite season#fortnite chapter 4#fortnite chapter 4 season 2#fox clan#peace syndicate#fortnite lore fans follow me for more shit takes like this#i also hate this battle pass lmao#sorry for being so negative :(#i just miss the seven so much y'all
