This article is about the ninth season of Chapter 1. For other uses of Season 9, see Season 9 (disambiguation).
Season 9, with the slogan The Future Is Yours, was the ninth season of Fortnite: Battle Royale. It started on May 9th 2019, and ended on July 31st 2019.
The theme revolved around the futuristic aesthetics and reconstruction of various locations that were destroyed by the volcano during The Unvaulting.
How did it Start?[]
The explosive eruption of the Volcano caused devastating damage to locations in the Island, causing the Volcano to collapse on itself and become a Caldera, leaving Tilted Towers and Retail Row in nothing but ashes.
However Singularity, the Guardian of The Zero Point, helped rebuilt those destroyed locations and so they rose from the ashes as Neo Tilted and Mega Mall, powered by The Zero Point itself. The Imagined Order took over the remains of the Volcano, building a Thermonuclear Power Plant known as Pressure Plant inside it.
The Season 9 Storyline[]
The impact of the Volcano's volcanic rock to the Polar Peak seemed minor at first, but as time passed the damage became ever increasing to the integrity of the mountain, and awakened something big inside of it. Over the course of the next few weeks, the ice at Polar Peak began cracking apart and melting even further, eventually revealing a giant eye belonging to a monster known as "The Devourer", a powerful monster locked away and frozen by The Ice King.
After a few weeks, the starving Devourer broke free from the Polar Peak and went to the ocean with the Polar Peak castle on it's back and started swimming around the Island, returning to the Island every now and then, eating buildings from Pleasant Park and Loot Lake to try and satiate it's hunger.
Following these destructive events, Singularity partnered with the Imagined Order to use Pressure Plant to construct the Mecha Team Leader to fight the monster. Pressure Plant was soon taken apart, and a new layout built for construction of the Mecha. Meanwhile, around the island, holographic propoganda signs began appearing in areas to help promote support for the mecha construction.
Mecha Team Leader finally finished construction at Pressure Plant after two weeks of building. The robot was painted in a range of different colours, as a countdown for The Final Showdown event appeared, an event that would end in victory, or the complete destruction of the island.
The Final Showdown[]
When the countdown for The Final Showdown reached zero, The Devourer entered the island from the north of Lazy Lagoon, sweeping a pirate camp out of its way and blasting its surroundings with a huge beam of energy radiating from its mouth. The monster proceeded to head to Loot Lake, where it attempted to punch its way through the locked Vault. It was at this moment that the mecha activated, piloted by The Paradigm, a member of the seven, and distracted the monster from The Vault. After the robot launched two batches of missiles at the Devourer, the creature retaliated by blasting the mecha with an energy beam. After recovering from the strong attack by the monster, the robot sprinted at the monster and boosted into it, lifting it into the air and off the map. After some time, the robot emerged from the water and went back onto the map, seemingly victorious. However, in a plot twist, the monster leapt out of the water and landed on the robot, knocking it to the ground. In the ensuing carnage, The Mecha threw off The Devourer, but was severely damaged with his left arm missing, causing him to collapse on top of Loot Lake. As the monster got back on its feet, Paradigm realized that if she failed, The Devourer would break into The Vault and consume The Zero Point, causing reality to collapse and an end-of-the-world scenario. In a desperate last attempt to kill The Devourer, The Mecha destroyed The Vault hatch by punching through it, tearing The Zero Point out of containment and lifting it out of The Vault. It then proceeded to crack its outer shell, absorbing its energy. When The Devourer attacked again, Mecha set The Zero Point back down and punched the monster round the head, sending it tumbling backwards. With its newfound energy, Mecha approached the singularity statue at Neo Tilted and grabbed it, pulling it out. As the monster slowly regained strength and got back on its feet, the statue was revealed to be a sword called The Sword Of Singularity. Now, the Mecha charged the sword with The Zero Point energy and faced the monster in a final showdown. As the two leapt at each other, The Mecha stabbed the sword through The Devourer's head, finally killing it once and for all. As the monster's corpse quickly decomposed leaving behind it's bare skeletal parts, Mecha Team Leader boosted into the sky and disappeared along with Paradigm, Crashing into the Ice Moon.
However, the battle left behind a major problem. The Zero Point was now cracked located above the destroyed Vault. Within the next few days, The Zero Point began getting more cracked and more unstable, starting to pulse rapidly with energy and radiate lots of energy from the cracks on its outer shell. This energy altered time for a tree near it, changing it's leaves from green to an autumn yellow.
