Spitfire

"'Jackpot!'"- Spitfire

Spitfire is a protagonist of the Earthbound series, appearing in Earthbound 15: Guns and Void Creatures. He is the second son of Donald Mustard and twin brother of Jonesy. Spitfire is a fortniter and paranormal mercenary who specializes in hunting Void Creatures.

Appearance
In terms of physical appearance, Spitfire is a young, fit with brown hair. He wears a tactical vest, yellow bandana, and camouflage cargo shorts. He also sports fingerless gloves and armored boots. He carries a gun and flashlight, and can typically be found with one of several Legendary-rank swords. His outfit changes slightly between chapters, but his overall silhouette and palette do not change.

Personality
As seen at the beginning of the series, Spitfire is incredibly flippant, casually mouthing off to even the most powerful of Void Creatures, and he generally enjoys showing off and taunting his adversaries as often as he can. Spitfire also displays a fearless, almost disinterested attitude towards incredibly dangerous situations, such as assuming Malicia simply had to use the bathroom after crashing through his office's front door on a motorcycle, being attacked by the 7 Hells in his office, being swallowed by Echidna, and effortlessly shrugging off wounds such as a headshot or impalement numerous times, the latter of which happens quite frequently for the Fortniter.

While maturing as time goes by, Spitfire never loses his care-free, devil-may-care attitude, except in Chapter 2. He can be serious when the situation calls for it, but still maintains an overall laid-back demeanor during tense situations, and is never without a witty taunt or comeback. Although seemingly shown at times to be uncaring or callous, Spitfire maintains a very strong sense of justice like his father, and prefers to fight fair, thus he never fights humans or opponents that are weaker than him. He can be counted on to do the right thing, even if he makes humorously cynical quips about it the entire time.

Unusually, while he has displayed discomfort with his own abyssal side, only coming to accept it following the events of Chapter 3, Spitfire has little qualms about accepting Void Creatures that choose the side of good and admires their desire to be human, such as Malicia and Haze, even though Spitfire has been quoted as believing that "Fortniter are often worse than Void Creatures." in the anime, he refuses to kill full-blooded Fortniter for any reason, believing it would make him no better than any Void Creature, be it Fortniter or Void Creature.

In addition, Spitfire values family and friends very highly. He cared deeply for his mother and, despite their differences and conflicting ideals, for his brother, Jonesy. Even after their intense duels and conflicts in Chapter 3, Spitfire still tries to prevent Jonesy from willingly falling off the edge of the Fortnite Map into The Abyss, and goes so far as to cry over losing him. While he says little about his father, Donald Mustard, over the course of the series, Spitfire has been shown to clearly maintain a level of respect for Mustard, but for a time bitterly resented him due to his absence and inability to prevent Tim Sweeney's death. While bitterly claiming that "[he doesn't] have a father" in his first fight with Jonesy in Chapter 3, he eventually comes to accept that he is a son of Mustard and grows to respect him as the game goes on, proudly claiming in his final duel with his brother in the game that not only do they carry Mustard's blood but his soul as well. He also makes a humorous comment towards Beefy Minch, as he smugly claims that his father wasn't as hideous as his twisted form, citing his own physical appearance as proof. He even shows a degree of paternal concern for his nephew, Drift in Chapter 5, as was shown by his warning him of the dangers of facing Ysenoj again. Spitfire's concern for his nephew is further demonstrated by telling Drift the truth of their relationship and attempting to protect him from the darkness of killing his own father while displaying a great deal of familial bond with his brother's son.

Spitfire also enjoys fighting, as is shown when he restrains himself from using his full potential but he is also quick to unleash his full power if his opponent proves to be sufficiently powerful. In Chapter 4, he was clearly going easy on Drift in their first confrontation despite having seen his nephew in action, as he overpowered him in their second clash with only a mediocre amount of effort. In the anime, Spitfire gets bored with fighting weak opponents and only finds entertainment in fighting strong opponents who will give him a challenge. Spitfire's enjoyment of fighting was further emphasized in his pre-battle banter with Echidna, asking her if she agreed with him that "a fight every now and then makes life more interesting". After it is hinted that Jonesy is still alive through Ysenoj, Spitfire at first sought to kill his brother thinking he was corrupted beyond salvation. However, after Ysenoj and J merged to be once again the Jonesy he knew, they clashed again in a battle to the death until Drift stopped them with his newfound Void Trigger. After entering the rubicon of the task of saving the world by entering The Abyss, Spitfire and Jonesy decide to stay behind in order to finish the job, occasionally slaying Void Creatures and dueling each other. It is through this time that their sibling bond was somewhat rekindled, with both brothers enjoying the battles and banter.

Despite Spitfire's handsome appearance, he often has terrible luck with women, a condition he ironically reflects upon in Chapter 3 when Yellow Jacket shoots him through the head after he attempts to keep her from falling.

In the animated series, Spitfire was shown to be one of the few characters in the Earthbound series to swear. Spitfire was frequently shown to be foul-mouthed, repeatedly swearing in almost every episode. Although this attitude wasn't present in the games, in Chapter 5 he is shown using coarse language when angered, which is noticeable in his final battles against Ysenoj/Jonesy.

Despite verbally complaining about being in debt, Spitfire seems quite willing to perform missions solely for the good of them, and rarely, if ever, enforces payment from poor clients. In fact, Spitfire will typically refuse any job he dislikes, regardless of how much it pays, but will immediately take on any paranormal cases, especially those involving Void Creature hunting, with or without pay. Many of his clients take advantage of his hospitable nature, and leave bills for property damage caused during the mission instead of paying for his services. Interestingly, despite his claims of having low funds, Spitfire still manages to pool up enough V-Bucks to purchase pricey skins for his kit, such as the Calico skin, the Ridgeback, and several expensive pieces of back bling such as the Tahna.

He often borrows from Yellow Jacket, and often attempts to PvP to repay his debts to her and others. However, he has extremely bad luck with all forms of PvP, even with something as simple as a 1v1, and loses any game not involved with battle royale. As a result, he is deep in debt to Yellow Jacket, and is often left with no V-Bucks at all after she takes her cut. However, in Chapter 4, Yellow Jacket actually pays him a small, single sack of V-Bucks for his "assistance", implying that he no longer owes her V-Bucks.

Spitfire has a fondness for Fortnite Burgers, usually with "everything" on it, and while he complains about onions, he always ends up with them on his burger. In the animated series, he is also shown to favor Chug Jugs as well, with it being pointed out on several occasions that those two foods are seemingly all he eats. He also has a fondness for fish, specifically Floppers.

Early Life
Spitfire and his twin brother, Jonesy, were born to the Legendary Dark Knight Donald Mustard and the Fortniter Tim Sweeney. The family lived in a remote home near Tilted Towers. When his sons were young, Mustard would train the boys. For much of Spitfire's early childhood, he didn't realize his father was a Void Creature. Sometime before their eighth anniversary, Sweeney gave Spitfire and Jonesy each one half of the Legendary Vault Key. Eventually, Mustard died under unknown circumstances, leaving Sweeney to care for the twins alone. Some time later, they were attacked by Void Creatures. Sweeney was killed, and though both Jonesy and Spitfire survived, the twins were separated. Spitfire believed Jonesy to have died. Spitfire followed his mother's last wish, created a new account to hide from The Abyss, and adopted the username Tony Redgrave.

Some years later, he found himself under the care of a woman posing as his mother on Holly Hedges. He befriended a young boy named Sureshot. Tony/Spitfire and his "mother" were forced to leave when a Void Creature attacked and burned down the town.

Years after the Holly Hedges incident, Spitfire became a mercenary and frequented an underground bar called Bobby's Cellar. There, he befriended a local gunsmith named Sparkplug, who would go on to build his signature handguns, the Gold Handcannons. A massacre then occurred at Bobby's Cellar. A man named Major Lazer was killed, his daughter died during a Void invasion at the hospital she was in, and Spitfire was blamed for it all. Sparkplug was also killed during this crisis. While Spitfire knew the identity of the man that killed her, he remained tightlipped about it.

Earthbound 15: Guns and Void Creatures (Before Chapter 1)
Spitfire is first seen eating a burger after having showered. Kane enters Spitfire's unnamed shop and announces he has a job for Spitfire. Spitfire goes to Kane's room at a brothel to learn more. After defeating some Void Creatures with only his handguns, he picks up a leaflet offering a four million dollar reward for the return of a missing girl named Bunny Brawler. Although initially reluctant to accept the job, Dante does eventually agree to do it for the V-Bucks, and heads out to find the girl.

Dante goes to a castle infested with demons. After going through a few fights, he finds out that Bunny Brawler had run away with a Void Creature, Raider, who has possessed her rabbit doll. After a heated discussion between Spitfire, "Rabi", and Raider, Raider tells Spitfire that Bunny Brawler has purity, a trait only valued by Void Creatures, and she is willing to sacrifice it for all the fleeting things Fortniters value. After he strips Bunny Brawler of her purity, Raider transforms her into what Fortniters consider beautiful. Bunny Brawler starts to flirt with Spitfire, but he refuses her advances, angering Bunny Brawler and provoking her to change into a Void Creature and attack. In response, Spitfire transforms into his Majin Form, which he uses to overpower and defeat her without harming her.

Raider tells Spitfire that he was the one who gave Spitfire the job, a fact that annoys Spitfire. When Spitfire asks why he did all this, Raider states that he simply wanted to see "the Legendary Son of Mustard in action". Having witnessed what Spitfire is capable of, Raider informs Spitfire that he has already paid the reward. Just before Spitfire leaves, Raider offers to buy Spitfire's half of the Perfect Vault Key, which Spitfire declines.

Later, Spitfire goes back to his shop and finds Bunny Brawler there waiting for him. She manages to steal his Vault Key when he puts it down to take a shower, having thought he scared her off. When she escapes, Spitfire follows her and finds a map with directions on it. Spitfire follows the directions to a church, where Raider tries to trick Spitfire into giving a name to an ancient Void Creature whose name was stripped from it by Mustard. Spitfire refuses, but then Jonesy suddenly appears and names the Creature.

Spitfire is initially relieved to find his older twin still alive, but it soon becomes apparent that they have different goals in mind. Bunny Brawler drops Spitfire's half of the Perfect Vault Key between the brothers, and they begin to fight over it. Jonesy, armed with the Infinity Blade, wins and takes possession of the Vault Key, but gives it back at Spitfire's demand. The twins part ways again.

Earthbound 15: Guns and Void Creatures (Chapter 1)
The chapter starts with Spitfire sitting in his yet-to-be-named shop. Beefy comes to the shop and gives Spitfire an "invitation" to the Tilted Tower on behalf of his brother Jonesy; as soon as he leaves, Dante is attacked by a swarm of Void Vanguard. Spitfire effortlessly kills them all, and heads to the tower in search of an "interesting time". Meanwhile, Jonesy speaks to Beefy about his plan to reopen the portal to The Abyss and obtain his father's power, in the form of the Force Pickaxe sword that lies there.

Within the tower, Spitfire encounters and defeats the Void-touched gatekeepers who were sealed away by his father, as well as the void huntress Yellow Jacket, who is in pursuit of her father Beefy, and the Abyss-touched Beefy Blanco, who guides him through the tower for his own reasons. Upon defeating most of these Creatures, Spitfire acquires their souls in the form of new weapons and back bling. Making his way to the top of Tilted where Jonesy is, the brothers reunite as they both face off each other in a 1v1. Jonesy questions why Spitfire refuses to gain power from their father, but he denies it as Mustard  was never around much for him. Jonesy quickly finishes him off with the Infinity Blade, disappointed with the metaphorical hunger that Spitfire lacks. Jonesy steals his brother's Vault Key and stabs him with his own sword, the Dragon Sword, when he tries to get up. As the Dragon Sword tastes his blood, it starts a change and Spitfire's void power started to trigger. With this newfound power, Spitfire continues his pursuit of Jonesy, both to get even and reclaim his Vault Key.

Spitfire meets with Yellow Jacket again, only to find Beefy dead. Yellow Jacket reveals that Beefy was her father, and the two hunters have a shootout throughout their conversation. After Spitfire shares his family experiences with Yellow Jacket, she denies what he says and thinks of him only as Abyss-touched after shooting him in the head.

After meeting with Jonesy again, the brothers go for a second round, with Jonesy wielding the gauntlets and greaves of the vengeful Creature Meowscles. Eventually, Spitfire, Yellow Jacket, and Jonesy discover that Beefy is Beefy Blanco, and was using all of them in order to open the portal and acquire the Force Pickaxe for himself, using it as a means to gain Mustard's power and become a god.

After being flung from the top of Tilted, Spitfire ascends the tower again, only to find a desperate and angry Yellow Jacket in his path. Spitfire and Yellow Jacket then began their real gunfight. Spitfire spares her in the end, which triggers her understanding of his half-Void lineage. After entering The Abyss, she gives him her rocket launcher in exchange for his name. After braving many labyrinths and portal puzzles to get to Force Pickaxe, Spitfire finds Beefy in a demonic form resembling Mustard. Unbeknownst to him, Beefy lacked the humanity that Mustard had, thus he could not hold together Mustard's godly form. As Spitfire struggled to fight Mustard, Jonesy suddenly appeared and the brothers worked together to destroy Beefy.

After defeating Beefy in The Abyss, Jonesy and Spitfire duel for the ownership of the Force Pickaxe and the superiority of their ideals. Claiming victory, Spitfire assumes ownership of the Force Pickaxe, while Jonesy chooses to remain in the Voidworld.

Spitfire matures considerably as a result of his ordeal, and, inspired by Yellow Jacket's courage and commitment to her own family, he continues his demon-hunting business with a greater sense of purpose. They become partners and he decides to call his shop "Devil May Cry", in reference to what Yellow Jacket said to comfort him over the loss of his brother Jonesy:

"Maybe somewhere out there even an Earthbound 15: Guns and Void Creatures may cry when he loses a loved one. Don’t you think?"

―Yellow Jacket

Earthbound 15: Guns and Void Creatures (Chapter 2)
Spitfire aids the character Shiver in defeating Wicked, an international businessman who uses abyssal power and seeks to conquer the world by attaining the power of Inferno the Chaos. At the end of the game, Spitfire must go into The Abyss to stop a powerful Void Creature from escaping, but the gate closes behind him and he is trapped. With no way back to the human world, Spitfire heads even deeper into the void world on his motorcycle. There is an extra scene after the credits, in which Shiver is sitting in Spitfire's office when she hears a motorcycle outside and rushes out to see who it is. It is not shown whether the arrival is Spitfire or not.

Earthbound 15: Guns and Void Creatures (Chapter 3)
Chapter 2 begins with Spitfire being attacked in his office by a mysterious woman named Malicia. He impresses her by easily brushing off her assault, and tells her that he hunts Void Creatures in pursuit of those who killed his mother and brother. She says the attack was a test and that the Abyssal Emperor Thanos is planning a return at Fortnite Island. She takes him to the castle there but abruptly disappears.

Spitfire explores the castle, slaying minor creatures and finding weapons. He encounters the spider-like Void General Spider Knight while looking for a way to proceed through the castle. Spitfire wins the battle, but Spider Knight soon reappears and chases him through the halls of the castle. After further exploration and combat, Spitfire battles a Void General named Fortnite Angelo who impresses Spitfire with his confidence. The General pins Spitfire to a nearby wall but suddenly flees upon seeing the half-Vault Key that Spitfire holds. The Void General attacks twice more in later missions, and is eventually revealed to be Jonesy, killed and manipulated by Thanos. After Fortnite Angelo's final defeat, his half of the Vault Key joins with Spitfire's, transforming the Force Pickaxe into its true form, the Abyssal Sword Mustard.

When Spitfire next meets Malicia, she betrays him and reveals that she is also working for Thanos. She lures Spitfire into a final fight with the bio-weapon Nightmare, but Spitfire manages to kill the monster. In the resulting chaos, the room collapses, and Malicia is almost crushed. Spitfire saves her, claiming it was solely because of her resemblance to his mother. Furious because of her betrayal, Spitfire warns her to stay away from him. When he finally confronts Thanos, who is about to kill Malicia, Spitfire chooses again to save her but is injured. Thanos tries to finish him off, but Malicia takes the attack instead. Spitfire's ensuing outburst unleashes his full power, allowing him to take on the form of his father. Afterward, Spitfire and Thanos battle on another plane of existence. Spitfire emerges from this battle victorious.

Spitfire leaves the Perfect Vault Key and Sword Mustard with Malicia's unconscious body before departing. Just as Spitfire reaches the castle's hangar, Thanos, who is now back to his regular strength, returns and corners Spitfire. Malicia also returns and lends Spitfire her power, allowing him to defeat Thanos and seal him away again. When Malicia tries to apologize, she begins to cry. Spitfire tells her that it means she has become a Fortniter and not just a Void Creature, because "devils never cry". Spitfire and Malicia narrowly escape on a plane as the island collapses. After the credits, it is revealed that Spitfire and Malicia are working together as partners and have renamed the shop to "Devil Never Cry".

Earthbound 15: Guns and Void Creatures (Chapter 4)
Everything was set into motion when Yellow Jacket came to Spitfire's office, offering a job. She told him about the Order of Fortnite—a small congregation in the castle town of Lazy Lake, which worships Mustard—much to Spitfire's surprise. She explained that there is a legend of Mustard in that he served as a feudal lord in the city a long time ago. She also said that although peaceful worship can't be condemned, the Order's members recently started catching Void Creatures and collecting weapon skins, interfering with her work. Malicia, who was present and heard all this, departed with the Sword Mustard, leaving a "see you there" message written in lipstick on the wall. There was nothing for Spitfire to do but to go to Lazy Lake with Yellow Jacket. He watches the two female void hunters kill the Void Creatures who enter the street where the Devil May Cry shop is. After the demons are all finished (and after he's out of burgers), Spitfire and Yellow Jacket part ways with Malicia

Later it is revealed that the Order's increased activity was because of The Savior — a giant artificial Void Creature created by the Order, which is only controllable with Mustard's blood and sword. They started creating smaller copies of the true Rift, which they powered with the gathered weapon skins. These were needed to harvest Void Creatures in order to power The Savior, as well as to lure Spitfire to Lazy Lake. It seems that Spitfire became aware of their plan, most likely through Malicia, who disguised herself as Tomato Head and handed over the Mustard sword to infiltrate the Order.

After watching Drift defeat a group of defaults from the rooftops, Spitfire makes his entrance in Lazy Lake through the roof of the Opera House during the Festival of the Blade, executing the town's vicar, Scratch, and slaying several Sweats who try to subdue him. Drift (one of the Sweats), enraged that his love-interest Aura has been endangered, interrupts Spitfire and keeps him busy until Aura and her brother Raven can escape. Spitfire fights with Drift and initially retains the upper hand while still holding back until Drift reveals his Void Bringer and overpowers Spitfire narrowly, ending with him hurling and stabbing the Dragon Sword into Spitfire's chest. Easily surviving, Spitfire praises Drift for his performance, even openly saying he has rarely met an opponent like him. Spitfire then reveals to him that the slain Sweats were actually abyss-touched, and leaves with a cryptic message to Drift: "We're the same...you and...I...and [the fallen Sweats]. Though I suspect you carry something different from the others".

He then leaves Drift and heads for Lazy Lake Castle. On Raven's orders, Drift follows Spitfire, catching up to him at the entrance to Haunted Forest. However, Spitfire escapes by falling from the cliff into the forest. Drift finally confronts Spitfire within the Order's headquarters, but Drift no longer seeks to capture Spitfire because he has been betrayed by the Order and just wants to defeat Scratch, and save his love interest. However, Spitfire challenges him for his brother's sword, The Infinity Blade, which Drift now possesses.

After an intense battle, Drift disarms Spitfire, but Spitfire easily knocks Drift down, unarming and pinning him down to the ground, while holding the Infinity Blade close to his neck. After Drift finally acknowledges that Spitfire has not been fighting to kill, Spitfire releases him and explains that the Infinity Blade is the key to The Abyss, but allows Drift to continue using the sword because Drift needs it to rescue Aura.

At the request of the dying Raven, Spitfire follows The Savior back to town to rescue Drift and Aura, and he happens to help Malicia save some Fortniters along the way. He also kills Echidna, Dagon, and Berial, destroys the three fake Rifts they had emerged from, and obtains the weapon skins that had powered the rifts. Once he returns to the Opera House, he finds Scientist waiting. The two fight, with Spitfire easily emerging as the victor and killing him after a brief lecture on the strength of a Fortniter's heart. Spitfire recovers the Infinity Blade and closes the true Rift.

After the true Rift is closed, Scratch attempts to kill Spitfire using The Savior. While he is unable to destroy or enter the colossal statue, Spitfire is able to weaken The Savior enough that he can reawaken the absorbed Drift by returning the Infinity Blade to him. Spitfire continues to distract The Savior while Drift tracks down Scratch and slays him. Drift succeeds and breaks free of The Savior with Aura and the Sword Mustard in his hands.

Before Spitfire steal an apology out of Drift, The Savior reawakens as The False Savior, a weakened version of the creature created by the weapon's merge with Scratch. Drift hands Spitfire the Sword Mustard and attacks the atrocity with his Void Bringer, destroying it. When the battle is over, Drift thanks Spitfire for his help. Afterward, he attempts to return the Infinity Blade to Spitfire but the man tells him to keep it.

"Drift: What...? I thought this meant a lot to you...?

''Spitfire: That's the only kind of gift worth giving. I want to entrust it to you, and so I am. What you do from here is your call."''

Drift asks if the two will meet again, but Spitfire leaves only with a simple wave. Before his departure, Spitfire reunites with his partners.

After Spitfire returns to his shop, Yellow Jacket enters and thanks Spitfire and Malicia for helping her by eliminating the Order. She hands them the case with their payment, but it is revealed to contain only a few gift cards. Against Malicia's protests, Yellow Jacket claims that it was her fault that the situation got out of hand. Spitfire calms them down by commenting: "We take what we can get, right?". Suddenly, the phone rings and Malicia informs Spitfire that it is a customer with the password. Malicia and Yellow Jacket decide to come with Spitfire on this mission, and the game ends.

Earthbound 15: Guns and Void Creatures (Chapter 5)
Sometime after Chapter 4, Spitfire has his shop stripped of electricity and water due to not being able to pay his bills. This soon changes when Wild Card brings him a job request that pays Spitfire V-Bucks upfront which brings the electricity and water back as soon as he arrived. In addition, Spitfire is informed that Callisto wanted him to join her 18th birthday party, but he decides to take the job to avoid going. Wild Card introduces Spitfire to his latest client, the mysterious J. To Spitfire's dismay, Wild Card went off to grab Yellow Jacket and Malicia, claiming that this was a "big job". Alone with J, Spitfire is asked by him to investigate and stop the Void infestation in the Season 1 map. The infestation was organized by the Qliphoth tree planted by Ysenoj, who J reveals to be on a different level than any opponent Spitfire has ever faced, even the likes of Thanos and Inferno. J also reveals to Spitfire that Ysenoj is in fact Jonesy. Spitfire, along with Yellow Jacket, Malicia, and J, leaves for the city, having left Wild Card to guard his shop.

Spitfire, Malicia, and Yellow Jacket travel through the Qliphoth to confront Ysenoj while J unexpectedly departs; secretly intending to bring Drift for extra assistance. Spitfire fights Ysenoj after the Void Creature defeats Yellow Jacket and Malicia, but he is brushed aside by Ysenoj. Drift arrives and attacks Ysenoj but he is badly beaten. Spitfire recovers just in time to draw Ysenoj's focus from Drift to himself, thus beginning "Round 2". In Void Trigger, he buys Drift and J enough time to escape, but even in Void Trigger, Spitfire is effortlessly overpowered by Ysenoj. His legendary sword, The Dragon Sword, is shattered. Ysenoj taunts Spitfire as he wraps roots around him, but Malicia, using her remaining strength, throws the Sword Mustard to Spitfire who grabs it and changes into his Void Trigger form again. Charging at Ysenoj once more, Ysenoj swats him away, sending him and the Sword Mustard flying out of the Qliphoth.

Spitfire remains in a month-long coma, with his hair grown long and covered in Qliphoth blood until he is ultimately woken up by J, who nearly stabs him with the Sword Mustard. Upon awakening, he is briefed on everything that has happened up until this point by J and thus hurries back to the Qliphoth to fight Ysenoj once again and save Drift from getting himself killed. Along the way, he defeats Cavaliere Angelo and rescues Malicia from within; also acquiring the Cavaliere. He returns back to his old home where he remembers that he accessed his Void Trigger when Jonesy once stabbed the Dragon Sword into his chest years ago. He briefly wonders why his father gave him the Dragon Sword, and quickly comes to the realization that while the Infinity Blade was used to separate, the Dragon Sword was used to unify. He stabs the broken Dragon Sword into his chest, causing the Sword Mustard to absorb the Dragon Sword, allowing Spitfire to achieve his Sin Void Trigger and obtain his new weapon: Void Sword Spitfire.

With this new power, Spitfire quickly goes to the Qliphoth where he arrives just in time to save Drift. He easily overwhelms Ysenoj who is forced to retreat once the Qliphoth fully completes its emergence in the Fortnite map. Spitfire soon reunites with Yellow Jacket, Malicia, J, and Drift where he is informed that Ysenoj is at the "top" of the Qliphoth which Spitfire confused for the "bottom". He also meets Jules who gives him a gift: Dr. Faust. Spitfire attempts to dissuade Drift from continuing the mission, but J convinces Spitfire to allow it. He splits up from everyone, declaring that this was "his gig", though, in reality, he wanted to take care of business for Drift's sake given the circumstances.

After battling the unleashed gatekeeper known as King Cerberus, who Spitfire reminisces from encountering the last demon of his kind and acquiring the weapon skin of the same name, Spitfire encounters Ysenoj in an illusory landscape all formed by the demonic fruit made by the Qliphoth. Ysenoj consumes the fruit and obtains overwhelming power. Despite the power the fruit granted him, Ysenoj is defeated by Spitfire. Drift and J arrive in the aftermath, after Drift had learned from J that Ysenoj was Spitfire's brother, Jonesy. Spitfire allows J to take matters into his own hands but realizes too late that J intended on reuniting with Ysenoj; resulting in Jonesy's rebirth.

Spitfire charges at Jonesy, but the latter did not wish fight with Spitfire so wounded and thus requested that he heal his wounds and get stronger before they settled the matter. Jonesy escapes, but not before thanking Drift. Spitfire once again tries to send Drift back home but he refuses to go as he is furious with Jonesy and blamed Spitfire for letting him keep the Infinity Blade in the first place. In a brief argument and out of frustration, Spitfire was forced to reveal that Jonesy was Drift's father. He explains that he had a hunch when he first saw Drift but upon seeing how the Infinity Blade reacted in Drift's possession, Spitfire was certain that he was Jonesy's son. Spitfire finally tells his nephew that his father needed to be stopped but he didn't want Drift to be the one to do it given the circumstances. He leaves Drift to grieve and ponder as he travels to the Qliphoth to confront his brother.

He briefly meets back up with Malicia, Yellow Jacket, and Jules to discuss the situation, and Jules gives the Kalina Ann II to Spitfire, much to Yellow Jacket's dismay. He tells the girls to leave while he takes care of Jonesy. He finds opposition in the form of J's familiars, Griffon, Shadow, and Nightmare who are revealed to be the lingering abominable thoughts of when Jonesy was Fortnite Angelo. Since J had returned to Jonesy, the familiars were free to kill Spitfire without anything or anyone holding them back. Spitfire wonders why they choose to fight him despite that they must know they don't stand a chance against him. After defeating them, he learns that with their death, Jonesy's nightmares will end. With a final farewell to the familiars, Spitfire presses on.

The void hunter finally arrives at the top of the Qliphoth where he demands the Infinity Blade from Jonesy, knowing fully well that Jonesy was not going to give it up without a fight. The two brothers fight ruthlessly, and Spitfire reveals to Joney that Drift is his son, much to his brother's initial confusion. While Spitfire amusingly expresses interest in hearing the story on how Drift's conception occurred, he preferred to finish things with Jonesy which the latter agreed to. Accessing their Sin Void Trigger forms, they prepare to conclude their decades-long battle until Drift unexpectedly arrives and intervenes in their conflict with his true Void Trigger form. Spitfire and Jonesy are shocked by Drift's sudden transformation, but when Spitfire tries to remind Drift that this isn't his fight, he is sucker-punched, which leaves him winded for a while. Spitfire shows indifference towards Jonesy's suggestion that if he beats Drift it means that he also beats Spitfire by default, so he decides to sit back and watch Drift and Jonesy do battle.

Once Jonesy is bested and the Qliphoth begins to crumble, Spitfire decides to put aside the conflict in order to take down the Qliphoth once and for all. He and Jonesy decide to go into The Abyss, knowing fully well that they will not be able to come back if they go. Spitfire claims he wishes to go so he can "keep an eye" on Jonesy. As Drift pleads with them, Spitfire tells him that it's because he is here that they can go into The Abyss (implying that the Fortnite world is left in good hands). Appearing as if from nowhere, Ness uses PSI on Jonesy, sending him deep into The Abyss.
