It created a giant, purple cube on top of a hill near [[Paradise Palms]]. The Cube, or Kevin as it was nicknamed, started to move across the map and would bounce back any player who touched it. It eventually rolled over to Loot Lake and sunk into it. Once the cube had sunk, the surface of loot lake became purple and bouncy, just like the Cube.

After a day of leaking, the cube was finally empty. The Cube then started to spin, and emitted white light. Then while turning gray, the cube exploded, and a blinding white light covered all the players' screens. Everyone was teleported to an unknown dimension.

Butterfly Event - Cutscene - Fortnite

After floating around for a while, a giant rift started to form. It took the shape of a giant butterfly, and started to shrink while moving over to the player. The player stuck out their finger, and the butterfly landed on it. Then another flash of light appeared, and the players were back on the island via a rift, with Leaky Lake now being "uncorrupted".

As the songs cycled, the stadium got different special effects (anti-gravity, skydiving, etc). At the end of the event, all players were transported into a rift.

The Unvaulting(Season 8)

The Unvaulting Event (also known as the Nexus Event) was an event that took place on May 4, 2019. 

Vault Opening - Nexus Event - Fortnite

Following the events late-Season 8, the vault in Loot Lake opened, and players could jump into the vault to enter the In-Between, similarly to the Butterfly Event. Players were then allowed to to choose a weapon to unvault. There were 6 options: Bouncers, Drum Gun, Grappler, Infinity Blade, Planes and the Tactical SMG. Players chose the Drum Gun to return to the game, and it promptly was. After the drum gun was unvaulted, players were brought back to the island.

Volcano Event

After leaving the In-Between, players were launched into the air. The volcano promptly erupts, destroying half of Retail Row, cracking Polar Peak, and destroying Tilted Towers entirely, but some how the insurance building survived. 

The Final Showdown(Season 9)

The Final Showdown was a Fortnite event that took place on July 20, 2019. Since releasing the 'Monster Team' banner and the 'Mech Team' banner in the item shop for gifting only, alongside a sign saying 'I 🖤' with a picture of Mecha's head on the sign, the event is assumed to be The Monster and Mecha (the giant robot at Pressure Plant) fighting.

The Monster appeared outside the Battle Royale map between The Block and Lazy Lagoon. It also had showed the Ice King's castle on top of him. The Monster first created a laser beam around the spo, but didn't do any damage to anything. The Monster then tried to open the vault for the power orb that was inside. Mecha then started to make his appearance from Pressure Plant.

File:D4E03DA1-4855-44EA-A027-194E83C34689.jpeg

It first started with Mecha throwing rockets towards the Monster, also completely destroying the Ice King's castle. The monster then shoots his laser beam towards Mecha, knocking it off its feet. Mecha got back up, then ran towards the Monster, and jumped him into the outside river west. Mecha then made his appearance, thought that he was the winner, and the Monster jumps out and tries to take Mecha down, but Mecha throws him in the water, destroying Mecha's left arm in the process. Then Mecha went to the vault. Staggering, Mecha fell to the ground. Slowly he got back up. At this point, the monster was already back on land. Mecha smashes the vault and grabbed the orb from inside the vault. Mecha then absorbed the power of the orb, cracking it, then put down the orb. The Monster was about to attack Mecha but Mecha punches the monster, knocking him down. Mecha then goes to Neo Tilted and grabs the Statue of Singularity, which reveals it to be a sword. Then Mecha walked to the Monster, and with a slow-mo scene of the Monster who was about to beam Mecha but then Mecha stabs him mid-air, instantly killing him.

As a celebration, Mecha started flossing with his intact arm, creating an emote called No Sweat. Then he does the Salute emote to all the people watching and flies away into the depths of space.

The End (Season X)

The End is referring to the launching of second rocket in Fortnite. It might take place at the end of the season. We don’t know what’s gonna happen yet, but we know there will be a new map afterwards for Season 11 of Fortnite.
