Chapter 2 Island, also known under the code-name Apollo, was the Fortnite: Battle Royale Island used in Chapter 2 (Chapter 2: Season 1 to Chapter 2: Season 8) and Chapter 2 Remix. It was a reorganized version of Athena, and was located over Artemis, before it being reforged with Apollo, a part of Reality: 659 and bits of other realities to create Asteria. It is the second Island created by The Zero Point. Then after the season of Chapter 2's ending it flipped. Apollo returned and became playable again during Chapter 2 Remix.

Storyline

Apollo was the reorganized version of Athena, which was sucked into a Black Hole created by The Zero Point during The End. IO then brought The Zero Point to The Bridge, to safely contain it and control The Loop without being noticed, but with IO controlling The Zero Point, the Island attracted many threats to it including The Last Reality.

Midas arrived and built a base in the center island. He possibly used the Zero Point in his Device on a attempt to push back The Storm and escape The Loop, ultimately failing and creating a giant tsunami. As a result, most of the Island was flooded, but the water slowly receded.

When the Island returned to normal water levels, a new danger approached, and superheroes from the Marvel universe were called by Thor to fight against the incoming threat, Galactus, attracted by the Zero Point's energy. The Devourer of Worlds arrives and pulls the Zero Point out of the ground in order to consume it, cracking it and taking everyone to The In-Between. However, the Loopers fought off Galactus with the guidance of Iron Man, Thor, Wolverine, She-Hulk, Groot and Mystique in The In-Between, freeing the Zero Point, but leaving it damaged and deteriorating.

Agent Jones and The Foundation stabilized the Zero Point when it was ready to explode. It was repaired in The Spire and eventually returned to the Bridge by the IO. Raz arrived to study The Spire but got corrupted by The Cube's powers, which attracted an alien race known as The Last Reality. During the invasion, The Spire was the first location to be abducted. The Imagined Order declared war against The Last Reality and prepared a counterattack to destroy The Mothership hovering above the Island.

The Imagined Order succeeded, but caused Cubes stored in the Mothership to fall to the Island and progressively corrupt it. These Cubes were led by The Cube Queen. The Cubes conversed towards the middle of the Island, forming The Pyramid in which The Cube Queen used to summon The Last Reality through a portal during The End of Chapter 2. To preserve their reality, the Foundation freed Jones from IO captivity to help flip the Island, defeating the Cube Queen and closing the portal, revealing a brand-new island beneath it, Artemis.

Apollo was playable for a total of 782 (810 if counted Chapter 2 Remix) days before it was flipped by its creator and The Seven, making it unplayable. The island was later destroyed by the The Herald during Fracture along with Artemis - The surviving fragments of both islands would become part of Asteria.

After Remix: The Prelude, Reality: UN-88's inhabitants were rifted in an unknown Reality, featuring an alternate version of Apollo. Midas' Crew also arrived in that alternate version of the Island and reclaimed some of the bases they owned on the original one.

After Remix: The Finale, the Rappers have transported the entire population of Apollo into the new island of Hermes or known as “Oninoshima”. However this time, Apollo remained the same after then, leaving the island still habitable at its finest.
