Zero Crisis Finale is a Live Event in Fortnite: Battle Royale in which players will play with John Jones to complete his mission. It starts when you open up the game in Chapter 2: Season 6 for the first time and is solo, although it canonically happens at the transition point of Chapter 2: Season 5 into Chapter 2: Season 6.
Synopsis
Right after the events of the Story Cinematic of Chapter 2: Season 6, a looper (The player), which Jones recognises from The Device event, is brought into action to help both Agent Jones and The Foundation to help fix the Zero Point.
Plot
A Looper (the player) appears, and Jones recruits them to help him save reality. The Foundation flies up to and goes inside the unstable Zero Point. As he starts fixing the Zero Point, reality starts breaking apart and portals appear (Although. The Foundation states they are not portals).
Jones starts to close the portals, and succeeds in closing one - This causes a flower blossom to appear in the sky. The Foundation warns them to watch out for Reality Waves. Jones states "Reality waves can change anything in a blink-" but is cut off as one occurs. This changes Jones into a Butterfly - a Rift - and the player turns into Raz.
The Looper is told to use Jones' rift device to close all the portals. After closing the next one, they face the problem that the other portals are too far away. Luckily for them though, Jones can teleport them to each one.

As the player/looper and Agent Jones teleport and close each portal, which show a scene from Travis Scott's Astronomical, reality waves and events occur along the way. These being:
- Hunters fighting with Assault Rifles and Rocket Launchers block their path. A reality wave changes the surroundings into greenery with Autumnal trees, and the player turns into Cluck.
- John Jones also says "I spent my whole life studying the Zero Point, and this is the first time I've really seen it..."
- Next, the surroundings are very dark and foggy with crashed cars on fire and Wolves howling and running away. Tilted Towers could be seen in the background.
The next reality wave occurs, and the player turns into Lara Croft with Boney Burbs now replacing Salty Towers. - After this the next portal is obstructed by some hunters on a Choppa. They try to eliminate the looper/player, but a reality wave occurs before this. Chickens spawn in and the looper turns back to their original Outfit.
With the last portal closed, it looks to be completed as a giant flower blossom fills the sky once more. The colours surrounding it are intense. But suddenly, the blossom starts swelling and turning red and black.
The Foundation states it's not enough and he needs to contain the blast, so he decides to build a tower of stone leading up to the Zero Point.
Jones teleports the looper and himself to the bottom of this forming tower. They run up the side of it as crystals and rocks come out the ground. They then fly up to a staircase along the tower, and run towards the top.
As you reach the top, the butterfly Jones turns back to his normal self. The looper is blasted off the platform to fly and watch as a bystander. The Foundation says there'll be no other chance, and that Jones needs to overload the Rift Device to seal off the Zero Point.
Jones objects saying "Overload the device?! I'll be trapped in the loop!" The Foundation states they'll both have to fight their way back, and that they should not give up. He also says that he will find Jones and that he should tell him everything. Jones says "You have my word!" and overloads the device.
This seals The Foundation in, and The Spire is complete.
