Season Recap: Chapter 1, Season 5

Hey! Welcome. Today, we’ll be recapitulating the events of the Cube in Chapter 1, Season 5.

After the events of the previous season, the Island was left vulnerable and unstable as a giant crack in the sky appeared. Different realities start bleeding into the Zero Point’s domain, and worlds collide.

Viking ships, golf courses, and an entire desert biome come from other realities, creating quite a different landscape for the Island.

Drift is brought in from Ground Zero, and begins an adventure with those on the Island — including Agent John Jones as Rex. They witness Enforcers bringing back parts that escaped to other realities, such as the Motel sign, as well as the beginning of something sinister.

The vulnerability allowed something — or someone — to finally have a chance to obtain the Zero’s power. The Cube is sent through an energy pulse so strong, that the rift collapses on itself.

Knocking back anyone daring enough to touch it, this mysterious object is infused with inter-dimensional evil. As it rolls around the Island, it begins marking runes into the ground on regular intervals. These runes generate low-gravity zones, terraforming their surroundings.

Those who interact with the Cube witness a dark reflection of themselves, made out of this energy. It’s unknown if their memories are retained within their fragmented selves, but personalities are certainly changed.

After quite a bit of rolling, the Cube finds its true objective: The Zero Point, currently sealed within the Vault under Loot Lake. It transforms itself into liquid as it descends into this space, leaving the lake’s water as its outer shell while it absorbs Zero.

Then, darkness rises in Chapter 1, Season 6.
