Chapter 2: Season 5

Chapter 2: Season 5, also known as Season 15, was the fifteenth season in Fortnite: Battle Royale that started on December 2nd, 2020 and concluded on March 15th, 2021, although lore-wise it ended in v16.00 with the Zero Crisis Finale. Its theme revolved around The Zero Point and bounty hunters from different universes and realities, with the slogan "Join the Hunt" and the title Zero Point.

Previously, in Fortnite...
Galactus, aka The Devourer of Worlds, made it to the Apollo island. He managed to unearth the Zero Point from underground, exposing it to the island. The Avengers managed to stop Galactus, however, the Zero Point became exposed and damaged, which caused a large sand area to appear in the center of the island with many crystal-like structures and remnants from the past.

How did it start?
The season began with John Jones waking up in his office answering a phone call from his boss (later identified as Doctor Slone). He is exhilarated to announce that he and his team have survived the arrival of Galactus.

He is told that the Zero Point is exposed and ordered to fix the problem, which he does right away. However, he rushes away too quick, missing the lady saying "...And do not to draw the attention of The Seven." Jones exits the office and enters the cavern in an attempt to stabilize the Zero Point.

He then controls a device which locates the world's best hunters across all realities and drops down into the island as well, with the Zero Point exposed.

How did it end?
The season ended with the Zero Point unstable, similarly to the end of Season 9.

Teasers for Chapter 2: Season 6 tell us John Jones is angry with the Imagined Order for not helping him with the unstable Zero Point, and decides he's not going to pursue the Order anymore (Although dedicating his whole life to it).

After this, the Imagined Order revokes Jones' credentials as he tries to retrieve all files about The Seven. He decides to take them for himself...
