— Fortnite

Oninoshima (鬼ノ島オニノシマ, "Oni no Shima" —lit. Island of Demon), also known under the codename Hermes, was the Fortnite: Battle Royale Island used in Chapter 6 (Chapter 6: Season 1 to Chapter 6: Season 4). The codename continues the trend of internally naming the map after Greek Deities beginning with 'H'.

Storyline

Storyline[]

"The Shattering War"[]

A long time ago,[1] a mask maker[2] employed by the Fox Clan[3] who was the ancestor of the Spirit Siblings (Daigo, Jade, and Kendo) used Magic to create objects of great capability known as Masks of Power.

Daigo's Broken Mask of Power - Lore - Fortnite

They began to use Dark Magic to make powerful and dangerous masks, to the extent that they eventually became weapons of war. At some point, the Demons of the Spirit Realm obtained these masks, and a conflict known as the Shattering War broke out between them and the inhabitants of Oninoshima, notably including the River Guard and the Fox Clan.[4] The war culminated in Nightshift Forest at a site known as Battle's End, where the Demons were defeated.

Battle's End - Landmark - Fortnite

In the aftermath, the people of Oninoshima banished the demons in the Spirit Realm, sealing them in the Spirit Realm entirely and prohibiting the use of magic and masks. The Fox Clan was blamed for the war, as the masks had been crafted by their suppliers.

Chapter 6: Season 1[]

Hope and Jones arrived on the island in search of a powerful artifact. A broken shard of The Zero Point followed the duo and crash landed near Nightshift Forest, unleashing a Reality Wave across the island - reawakening ancient magic, reopening the gate to the Spirit Realm, and allowing ancient demons to resurface. The demons then transported the Zero Shard into the Spirit Realm, where they planned to do something sinister with it.

After The Confrontation Event, Daigo's magic transformed Nightshift Forest into a mountain of gold.

Chapter 6: Season 2[]

Crime overtakes the island, with many of the environment being turned to gold. Fletcher Kane became the man in charge of Oninoshima's newfound wealth, setting up banks across the island and control over the region. His 50% tax raise on gold resulted in criminals teaming up to rob him of his supply.

Near the end of the season, Daigo entered the Spirit Realm only for the dark presence inside to corrupt him and turn into a demon. Daigo's actions had also attracted the attention of a mysterious spacestation, which entered atmospheric orbit and began to draw itself closer to the Island.

Chapter 6: Mini Season 1[]

The Death Star has appeared above Oninoshima, as an all-out war erupts in the skies. Both the Rebellion and the Galactic Empire established bases on the Island. Leia Organa, with the help of the Looper, creates a plan to take the battle straight to the Death Star as the space station aims its super-laser directly at the Island.

In the Death Star Sabotage event, the Loopers, along with Jones and Hope, manage to board the Death Star and shut down its offense systems to help Blue Squadron make a bombing run on the space station. With the mission ending in a success, the resulting explosion from the Death Star sends debris down onto the island, with one piece striking an active Spirit Realm Portal, causing a beam to protrude up into the sky, and a shockwave that knocks the squad out.

The effects of the damaged Portal catch Superman's attention from outer space...

Chapter 6: Season 3[]

Daigo returns from the Spirit Realm, now horribly corrupted into a demon himself, turning Masked Meadows into a giant citadel and raising an army. To combat this threat, Hope and Jones establish Supernova Academy to train the island’s inhabitants.

The shockwave from the Spirit Realm Portal hits a passing Battle Bus, granting a group of individuals superpowers. After being saved from crashing by Superman, the group enrols in Supernova Academy.

Towards the end of the season, Daigo puts his plan into action, proceeding to summon a giant tentacle from the Spirit Realm - his master. Flicking Daigo aside, the tentacle attacks, causing The Supernovas and the Loopers to band together and fight it off. After two more tentacles emerge from the portal, Superman arrives and sends them back to the Spirit Realm before destroying the Spires around the portal to close it. It is over…

Or is it? Because the part of the tentacle that Superman cut off slowly begins to decompose and bleed into the ground, giving birth to dangerous insects.

Chapter 6: Season 4[]

A new faction arrives to the island called The O.X.R., a military organization that's purpose is to exterminate the specific bugs that invaded Oninoshima. Commanders of the O.X.R General Onyx Winter, Lt. Ripp Slade, and Agent Patch start recruiting people around the island to help stop the bugs from destroying the island. One group they recruited were The Supernovas, who took the job of protecting Utopia City, where Hope's vision warned of impending doom.

This plan failed, as the bugs were getting stronger, when a portal was found that the bugs were using to go between the island and The Spirit Realm. The veil between the two dimensions was thinning fast and they had to prepare for battle.

Using the help of the Power Rangers with Megazord, the O.X.R were able to hold off the bugs and send them back into the Spirit Realm, allowing Hope and Jones to prepare for the battle against the Dark Presence. Daigo gives up the Splinter Blades to Hope believing they could help defeat The Dark Presence. Meanwhile, a Mysterious Tree House appears on the island near Creepy Camps, at the same time Aliens appear to terrorize the island.

Welcome, Our Alien Overlords[]

Hope and Jones arrive at the Treehouse where the Loopers are, with a rift device. Using this Rift Device, Jones attempts to close the veil for good, but it goes horribly wrong when the veil opens up even more, allowing the Dark Presence to enter the island. The Aliens (Kang and Kotos) fall in love with the Dark Presence, attempting to help it by fighting Hope and Jones. They end up losing, and Hope blasts the Dark Presence, when it opens up a portal.

Jones notices the Zero Shard in the Dark Presence's chest, so Hope tries to rip it out with the tractor beam, which causes a piece to break off. After a bit of freaking out, Kang tries to direct them into Springfield, when Hope battles for control to take them all back to the Island. After fighting, it caused realities to merge, creating Springfield Island, when the spaceship was destroyed and the shard landed in the hands of Homer Simpson.

Chapter 6: Mini Season 2[]

Zero Hour[]

The Dark Presence has corrupted more of Oninoshima while everyone was rifted to Springfield Island. After the Dark Presence was defeated, the Zero Point shard had purified what the demon had corrupted before rifting everyone, including the Looper, away to a new island...

Chapter 7: Season 1[]

It is revealed by Hope that the Spirit Siblings (Kendo, Jade and Daigo) still protect Oninoshima since the Dark Presence's defeat.

  3. "Fox Clan used to have magical masks, many ages ago. A family of artisans from this Island knew the secret to making them. But they got overambitious. They created dangerous Masks of Power, which caused the Shattering War. Magic was banished. Masks were shattered. And, of course, Fox Clan was blamed." - Vi when asked about "Magical Masks", C6S1
