“

Last time it nearly destroyed the Island!

”

— Doctor Slone during Operation: Sky Fire

The Cubes are a species of sentient cubes originating from The Sideways and serving The Army of the Last Reality as the Cube Legion. They were first introduced in Season 5.

Overview[]

The Cubes are an extremely powerful species of sentient being strongly linked to magic and runes. They are the power sources of The Last Reality's fleet as well as an additional force to destroy realities. They were mostly created and ruled by The Cube Queen and formerly The Cube King, with The Cube's Cradle serving as the main storage of all of them. The Cubes are divided into several categories, giving them varying degrees of power and might:

Corruption Cubes: The most common category of Cubes, their mission is to spread corruption in order to destroy worlds. They can also open portals to the Sideways. They are present in Purple Motherships but can also be found alone or in groups, invading Realities. Some of them have the potential to become Storm Kings. At their peak, they can summon a gigantic army of Cube Monsters, as happened with Kevin the Cube.

Golden Cubes: Also known as Royal Cubes, they are the commanders of all other Cubes, as well as the most powerful among them. In addition to their powers, which are far superior to those of Corruption Cubes, they can power them up to restore them to their maximum power, and allow them to spawn new Cubes themselves, albeit smaller ones, thus strengthening their army. They are stored in a specific area of the Cube's Cradle, in the Golden Motherships that make up its fleet, as well as in the Purple Motherships, although there is only one.

Blue Cubes: These are a subspecies of Corruption Cubes that have acquired a regeneration/healing power that replaces their Corruption power. This allows them to continuously heal their allies. They can also teleport and create force fields to protect their allies. However, these Cubes can acquire goodness, as happened with Bluevin the Cube, prompting him to betray The Last Reality to defend The Loopers who saved him. They are stored in the Cube's Cradle, although in very small quantities.

Red Cubes: These are a subspecies of Corruption Cube that are not well understood. They are linked to a type of unstable/corrupted rift with a reddish appearance, which they can open themselves. They wield 8 additional Runes that other Cubes do not have. They are stored in the Cube's Cradle, although in very small quantities.

History[]

Season 5[]

As the Sideways Rift continued to rapidly close up, it suddenly turned purple. Within the next few days, purple storm lightning bolts began shooting out of the crack, all targeting a hill near Paradise Palms, containing a large stone rock surrounded by a ring of cacti. Each lightning strike picked off one cacti one-by-one, until a larger lightning bolt destroyed the large rock. The Crack Closure event occurred on 24th August 2018, with a gigantic storm lightning bolt striking out of the rift, lasting for around 10 seconds. When it was over, the Crack in the Sky closed. then The Cube was formed. Though it first appeared to be a stationary object, it began to move at a rate of one revolution every 1 hour and 43 minutes. It was unclear where it would end up. During its journey around the map, The Cube printed seven runes with anti-gravity domes surrounding. Throughout the final three weeks of Season 5, the cube continued to print these runes.

After finishing this process, The Cube destroyed one of the buildings in Tilted Towers. The sporting goods store was hit by a meteorite and was just in the final stages of reopening. The Cube then proceeded to the edge of Loot Lake on September 19, 2018. The Cube appeared to dissolve, turning Loot Lake in a purple-pink gelatinous state with properties akin to The Cube itself, such as becoming bouncy.

Season 6[]

With the beginning of Season 6, it was revealed that The Cube was still intact, as it rose from the waters, taking the cabin and island in the center of the lake with it, forming the Floating Island. This created a large hole in the lake exposing the bridge to The Zero Point, a vortex in the middle. After just two days of the island rising, The Cube began to move the island to each of the runes it had printed in Season 5. After getting energy from all runes, they dropped to the ground and the island returned to Loot Lake. A portal to The Last Reality was formed above, which began to expand until it covered the entire island. On October 24, 2018, the first day of Fortnitemares 2018, The Cube exploded the floating island into multiple pieces, the Cube still intact. Following the explosion, The Cube fragments that had been growing on the island had been sent all over the map, which released The Cube monsters.

From this day until November 4. The Cube began to crack. On November 3, it began to drip its nectar into The Zero Point, until the final drip. On November 4, 2018, The Cube started to spin rapidly, which led to a white flash, and The Cube splitting apart. After the flash, players were teleported to The In-Between. Shortly after, a rift formed, and took shape of a butterfly, which then multiplied, and came to every player still alive. A cut-scene showed up, where the player put out their finger, and the butterfly would land on the finger, and it got teleported back to the map through a rift. Leaky Lake appears to be completely new, and the Cube Monsters were gone.

Season 7[]

During Ice Storm event, The Ice King uses a small shard of the Cube to summon Ice Legion and freeze the island in order to stop Polar Peak from melting.

In Save the World, Homebase defeats the Storm King, leaving behind a Corruption Cube which sinks into the water.

Season X[]

The Floating Island from an alternate reality came through a Rift Beacon. it didn't do anything after that except circle the island aimlessly. Later in the season, Cube memorials appeared at Loot Lake and on the mountain Kevin was created.

Chapter 2: Season 1[]

Steamy Stacks (v18.10) - Location - Fortnite

Following The End of Athena and the creation of Apollo, The Floating Island was destroyed, but The Cube was conserved. Following the reconstruction of the island by The Zero Point, it was placed into a dormant state and underneath Building 2 of Steamy Stacks, a power station which uses The Cube to generate electricity. The facility is run by Kevolution Energy.

Chapter 2: Season 6[]

The Spire Artifact is a small piece of the Spire's core, it emits Cube's runes. The Spire's core was originally made of chromium, how it got corrupted is unknown. Seeing visions of the future in his dreams, Raz ended up on the island after years and years of research, and got too close to The Spire Artifact only to make him corrupted with new powers. The Last Reality notice his power and arrives at the island.

Chapter 2: Season 7[]

The Mothership used the Cubes' power to destroy The Spire. The Last Reality host the Rift Tours so they could scan the memories of the loopers, to learn about The Zero Point while taking them through multiple realities around The Omniverse. the Floating Island and the Cube and be seen in the tunnel. During the Operation: Sky Fire live event, The Last Reality was revealed to have possessed a corruption cube in one of its rooms.

After Doctor Slone deactivates it using Alien Backpack and arms the bombs, she betrays the loopers by sealing them in with the cube. The Loopers reboot it, turning it blue, which causes the room to rise up into a chamber containing thousands of dormant corruption cubes stored inside with a golden cube at the center. After the bombs detonate, the mothership is destroyed, and debris and cubes rain down onto the map, causing devastation.

A mini version of the Cube can be found in The Bridge's Science Lab, moving in a random route. IO Agents can feed it and play with it like a pet.

Chapter 2: Season 8[]

Following the Mothership's destruction, five purple cubes, one golden cube, and a blue cube land around the island. All of the purple cubes are located at the Abductor Crash sites, and the surrounding areas have been corrupted by their presence. The Golden Cube is found near Holly Hedges, while The Blue Cube lands near Camp Cod, creating Friendly Forest around itself. The rest of the cubes seen during Operation: Sky Fire are likely still inside the main Mothership wreckage located beyond the border of the island. Less than a week after the launch of Season 8, The Golden Cube begins moving. By the time of Week 2, each of the Purple Cubes have moved at least once, The Golden Cube has moved over 50 times, while the Blue Cube has not moved at all.

The Golden Cube visits the Believer Beach cube and commences the first Awakening event, levitating into the air and charging the cube with an energy beam. This forces the Purple Cube to create six smaller purple cubes around itself. The process also seems to have stimulated the Cube to roll much more frequently, and towards The Aftermath. The smaller cubes also line up behind the main cube and follow it. All of the purple cubes also spread corruption as they roll. At Steamy Stacks, the original Kevin from the Chapter 1 island awoke, breaking out of containment upon sensing the presence of the gold cube. The Golden Cube charges it, but unlike the others, that particular cube does not produce any smaller cubes. The Golden Cube rolls around the entire island, charging up all the six purple cubes (including the Steamy Stacks Cube). As they roll, the purple cubes leave a large trail of corruption stretching to their original starting points.At this stage, all of them (excluding The Blue Cube) are now active and heading towards The Aftermath. On October 12-13,

The Golden Cube arrives at The Aftermath, and levitates directly above the area in a similar fashion to The Awakening events. On October 19, all six purple cubes simultaneously reach The Aftermath, and break apart into smaller pieces to form The Convergence, a mysterious purple structure surrounding The Golden Cube, with an unknown purpose. The baby cubes created by each purple cube was likely a method of adding extra cube material to The Convergence structure when it was created, as the purple cubes did not lose their mass during their creation. Following the convergence, Cube Queen, the mysterious leader of The Last Reality, was brought to the island, and is floating above The Golden Cube in a bubble.

The End (Chapter 2)[]

The Rebooted Cube teleported to Guava Fort and produced a shield around it to protect the Loopers. The Cube Queen used The Pyramid to shot a beam of corrupted energy into the sky, opening a massive rift to The Last Reality, revealing hundreds of Motherships powered by Golden Cubes, along with The Cube's Cradle. They quickly overrun the entire island. a golden colored Abductor flew over the Rebooted Cube and fired a beam that destroyed the Rebooted Cube while the Loopers, who had their weapons taken away prior, were forced to watch its destruction. meanwhile in The Bridge. The Foundation reverses the gyroscopic orientation of the Island causing it to rotate. The Cube Queen goes underwater (possibly teleporting) and The Pyramid is completely submerged once the Island reaches a 90-degree tilt, closing the rift to the Last Reality.

Universal Monsters - We Will Be Monsters[]

The reality of universal monsters is being consumed by the colorless void, Frankenstein's Bride and the other monsters teamed up and use the cube's power to restore the colors.

Chapter 4: Season OG[]

With the beginning of Season 6, The Cube rose from the waters, taking the cabin and island in the center of the lake with it, forming the Floating Island. Unlike in the the original timeline, Jones messing with the past caused the Cube to stay until Season X. The fate of the cube is unknown as it was not present during The Big Bang.

OG Chapter 1: Season 5[]

Repeating the events of Season 5, the new Red Sideways Rift started too rapidly close. Before it's closure, red lightning bolts began to strike the cacti located on top of The Birthplace, which is located Southwest of Paradise Palms! Then, occurring on August 31st, 2025: A final strike of lighting hit the rock, destroying it and causing the Cube (now known as Revin the Cube) to appear moments before the crack closed in the sky. Just like the corruption cube (Also known as Kevin the Cube), it appeared to be a stationary object for a day, before it began to move at a rate of one revolution every 1 hour and 43 minutes. During its journey around the map, Revin printed seven runes with high-speed domes surrounding them.

Loot Lake (Blood Lake) - Location - Fortnite OG

After this process, Revin made its way into Tilted Towers. It traveled on the road, until it decided to retrace its step. After going back one turn, it destroyed the newly built building that was in place of the one destroyed by a meteorite in Season 4. Revin then continued it journey, where on September 28th, it made it to its final destination, Loot Lake. It proceeded to melt into the water, fusing itself with it and making the lake turn into the cube. The lake was now the cube, but mysteriously kept Kevin's runes even though it was now red.

OG Chapter 1: Season 6[]

Floating Island (S6) - Unnamed Location - Fortnite OG

When the season began, instead of seeing Revin in the sky, Kevin the Cube was now attached to the Floating Island just like in Chapter 1. With this change, all runes associated with Revin changed, leaving Kevin's cubes in its place. Revin's influence on the island was not over however, because instead Shadow Stones, miniature red cubes known as Havoc Stones granted you nitro when consumed. Each rune Kevin went to, the cube harnessed more and more energy allowing cubes to fill the cube attached island, most being purple with some being red. After absorbing all the runes, the island returned to Leaky Lake and unleashed the energy into The Storm.

The floating island then exploded into several pieces, and Cube Monsters were unleashed across the island. From that day onward, Kevin began to crack more and more, until it eventually shed it outer shell completely and began to drip nectar into The Zero Point, with the final drop causing it to spin. It spun faster and faster until the cube to exploded and sent the players into The In-Between, where the Revin was taking power from the Zero Point. A rift butterfly then appeared, teleporting the Loopers back to the island, where leaky lake stood with the destroyed Corruption Cube in the center.

Chapter 6: Mini Season 2[]

Zero Hour[]

During the battle against the Dark Presence, Revin was rifted to Oninoshima thanks to Jones. As soon as the demon attacked Revin, he immediately retaliated by sending a red beam back at him, allowing the allies to attack the Dark Presence. However, Dark Presence used Kong as a shield and eventually threw him at Revin, causing him to suffer high damage to make him spin out and go haywire, about to explode. However, thanks to Mecha Team Leader, Revin gets sent flying directly at the Dark Presence, his explosion consuming and destroying the demon for good alongside himself.

Chapter 7: Season 1[]

Dark Voyager Spaceship - Lore - Fortnite

The island was a paradise, until a giant ship being piloted by a member of The Last Reality, known as The Dark Voyager appeared in the sky. Once at the island, it used it's Golden Cube to blast the Battle Bus, destroying it. All that is known of the Dark Voyager is that it does have have a head but instead is a cube itself.
