This choice: Buy Zack Island and hold a party there • Go Back... Zack lay back in his chair, sighing contentedly as he watched the sunset. "I dunno, man," he said. "I've got a literal island paradise here. Why would I give it up?" He smiled down at the beautiful women all playing in the water around him. "Sun, sand... almost no one questioning why I only invite women to my island..."
"It probably helps that you don't make too many sleazy moves on them," the villain said.
Zack laughed. "The Zack Man's gotta be a gentleman, y'know? Ain't no man ever got anywhere with a woman by slobberin' on them unless the gal's drunk as fuck. And that just raises a bunch more questions."
The villain nodded. "I can respect that," he said, he and Zack toasting the beers they were drinking. "But honestly, I'm offering you a chance to have an even bigger island. Invite even more women. Maybe even find that special someone."
Zack's expression turned wistful. "Dunno if I'm lookin' for a bride. I mean, look around. I've got a great view."
The villain nodded, smirking. The girls of the Venus Vacation were there (and he'd definitely be inviting them back once he got all the fighter girls), each one of them bikinis as they played around the beach. "I'm willing to go so far as triple the island's original value. Or higher."
Zack frowned. "...Is there some ancient artifact beneath the island that I don't know about?" he asked. "Some powerful thing goin' on?" A tired look came to his face. "Is this Mugen-Tenshin shit, or DOATEC shit?"
The villain laughed. "I am rich, I am eccentric, and I honestly just want this island because I've decided I want it," he said, which was technically true. He could give himself as much legitimate currency as he desired. He was definitely 'eccentric.' And he could technically just take the girls whenever he damn well felt like it. He just wanted to do it on the island.
Zack looked thoughtful. "...I had been lookin' into expansions... Don't wanna tear up the natural beauty of this place too much, though... If I had a bigger island..." he said.
"I will happily pay whatever you desire," the villain said. Zack smirked at him, and named five times the amount he paid for the island. "I can manage it."
"Shit, man, you got money to burn or something?" Zack said.
"I do," the villain said simply.
Zack shook his head, disbelieving. "Nuh uh. No way. You make the transfer now, AND give me time to verify it," he said, giving the villain his account number.
The villain took out his phone and pressed a few buttons. "Done," he said.
Zack, scowling and suspicious, walked away, starting to make some calls.
The next day, he was all smiles, shaking the villain's hand. "Enjoy the island, my dude," he said. "Its all yours."
The villain nodded, already planning to move it to the home dimension he was creating once he got an opportunity. "You got a new place in mind?"
"Couple hundred miles south of here," Zack said. The villain reached out with his magical senses, realizing Zack chose an unstable island. He quickly stabilized it, making sure that the only thing the volcano would ever do to Zack is provide him with a power source. "Pretty place. Lots of room for stuff on Neo Zack Island, including the expansions I wanted, WITHOUT affecting the natural beauty."
"I'm glad you're so big on respect nature," the villain said.
"Hey, people come to islands to see the island, y'know?" Zack said, laughing. "Barring the jackass American tourist or two."
The villain nodded, chuckling. He shook Zack's hand again... and edited his memories so that he never knew about the girls who participated in the Dead or Alive tournament. No reason to go looking for them if he didn't know they existed. He played with Zack's fate a little, making it so that he'd live the rest of his life as a successful resort owner and martial artist. And just because the villain was feeling nice, he made it so that Zack would eventually meet the one he'd be destined to marry and live a happy life with.
It just wouldn't be any of the girls from the games. :3
Zack finished packing, and headed off. The Venus Vacation girls were heading back home themselves, having had a wonderful few days there.
The villain got onto the PA system, the employees letting him since Zack informed him about the sale. "Ladies and gentlemen. But mostly ladies," he said. "Due to a recent business transaction, Zack Island is under new management. We're going to be going through some changes, but I assure you, the same level of quality relaxation and fun will be here should you decide to return one day. We'll be changing the name of the island of course, but for now, Zack Island bids you farewell, and have a wonderful day. We hope you come back for our grand re-opening. And if you choose not to, then why not patronize Neo Zack Island when it opens? Or whatever he calls it." The villain chuckled. "Thank you. And have a blessed day."
He shut down the PA system.
"So what now?" asked the employee, one of the few men on the island.
"Now?" he said. "I give everyone paid vacation with bonuses while I figure out how to rebuild Zack Island in my image."  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
