Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Retreat to Paradise

Me: You know, lately I've been playing DOAX2 and well, I suddenly feel the need for a DOAX3. One that's been massively improved at that. So here I am now to relay the story of DOAX3: RTP!

From time to time, I will include short little paragraphs on DOAX3, since I'm feeling creative, so yeah! Please enjoy!

On board the Freedom Survivor …

Helena sat stoically at her desk. It was unusual for her to be this restless. The French woman stood up, and began pacing around the opulent room, styled with accents of gold and red and an atmosphere screaming rich.

The sunset, while beautiful, did not calm Helena, as she went through a mental labyrinth. Donovan was still at large, and M.I.S.T still present, despite the ninja's recent victory at the D.I.G oil rig. Sure, they had managed to destroy one of their labs, and free Hayate, but that likely didn't do very much.

Donovan's next step … what would he do next? Helena simply could not predict what could come next. The evil genius was after financial gain, but what would that money be used for? A genius such as himself … what would he want to do with his situation …?

"HELENAAAAAAAAAAAA! Where are you my darling?" called an incredibly annoying voice.

Helena suddenly lost all of her thoughts, and nearly tripped over at the sound of … "darling."

Zack had entered the building. Well, the room anyway. He sort of barged in with that fashionably annoying Zack style.

"Zack. Do consider using the concept called knocking," said Helena, clearly annoyed that her thoughts were being pushed aside by Zack's stupid antics. As much as he was sometimes useful, Helena COULD NOT stand him as a person. But she was simply too well mannered for that. Helena regretted that at times.

"Oh, yeah yeah. But I still know you love it when I do that, right? Right?"

"If memory serves me right, you have a girlfriend to attend to. I'm sure she'd be far more pleased to see you than I," replied Helena icily, even colder than Ayane's words. And that's saying something.

"You mean Niki? Nah, she's having a blast at that mini casino you built into this beauuuuuuuuuuuutiful ship! So, the great Zack came along to see if you've made some progress!" exclaimed a jaunty Zack.

His obliviousness to anything negative seriously pissed Helena off. But, her face remained cold as ever.

"Zack. I need you to be serious for a moment," said Helena, almost whispering, leaning on her desk and looking down at the floor. Which, admittedly was very expensive too.

Even Zack straightened out for a moment. The air had become tense.

"You understand too, that Donovan is still remains hidden and at large. He has the advantage at the moment as well, for we cannot do anything to prepare ourselves for what is next."

"Or we can just party!"

"Zack, do control yourself. That is an utterly silly idea. In any case, Donovan's real motives cannot be found at the moment; after all, the money he gains … what would he use it for?"

"Well, my beautiful Helena, we can just take a good ol' vacation! Nothing beats sitting around at a beach with my lady luck!" said Zack, doing more ridiculous poses.

"I need you to be serious. We have no time to laze around!" cried Helena, raising her voice ever so slightly.

"Just chill girl. Why get ya hair bow in a twist when you can be relaxing at an island? Like you said, not like we can do much anyway."

"Can't you suggest a single good idea … !"

Helena paused. She practically froze, and stared at the ground, eyes losing all colour. An idea struck her. All these things … connecting …

"Zack," said Helena, in an odd tone.

"Uh huh?" replied Zack flirtily.

"We are going to announce the vacation of a lifetime. The revival and overhaul of Zack Island. The announcement of the Dead or Alive Tournament: Retreat to Paradise project!"

There was a moment of silence. And then …

"See what a genius I am, Helena?"

I guess you need some explanation, huh? It's not like you can read Helena's mind or anything … no, she's not gone insane. Yes, normally you would be insane to do what Zack suggested, just not this time.

Let's get to explaining, shall we?

Helena had finally thought of a plan. DOATEC could announce a special vacation for its competitors as a way of thanking and supporting them, giving them quality rest time during this vacation. This would provide the perfect cover for a secret base on the island, and there, the ninjas and Helena could meet, and further discuss their plans. The Freedom Survivor was no longer safe, after all. Spies and bugs and even more complicated things that I cannot explain could easily mean defeat by the hands of Donovan.

The secret base hidden in the island could be used for all kinds of hidden / confidential / spy-like reasons, and there, Helena could prepare and brief them on the situation more properly. To top it off, the vacation could attract publicity like the fifth tournament, showing them that DOATEC has a new front, caring for its competitors wellbeing.

And here is where Zack comes in handy. For once.

Previously, Zack had (ridiculously) explained his ties to forces up above. Basically, access to unlimited resources and … weird stuff. Like resurrecting a previously blown up island.

Stupid as it was, that could come in handy. If Zack had unlimited resources, let him use it to its fullest potential. That aside, Zack could also request a few useful perks, like a cloaking device and maybe some new technology too? The possibilities were endless.

"Uhh, Helena? Didn't you say something like "an utterly silly idea," back then?" piped in Zack, making an impression of Helena's voice.

"…"

"Come on girl … you know you were so wrong."

"…"

"Why the silent treatment?!"

"… Fine. Just go do what you have to. And please leave me alone."

Me: Finally! It's done! By the way, I just realised … that there's a soundtrack for Dead or Alive: Paradise. I actually listened to the main theme of DOA: P while writing this.

But yeah, more to come! The story is a little far-fetched, weird, and ridiculous, but, then again, it's DOA. Ridiculousness, laughs, and awesome characters make up for it. Oh and
