HEAVEN'S ADVOCATE
A crossover novella between "The Lost and Damned" and "Dead or Alive"
Notes:
I had a few problems with the story. Johnny Klebitz's background story is hardly divulged in-game and it's timeline hardly overlooked. The developers of the "Dead or Alive" games continue to ignore that their female characters are essentially the same girls with just their hair and clothes and color eyes swapped out, and while the fanfiction community may disagree suddenly, I'd like to remind them that it is us that are responsible of giving them what little character they have. The timeline is placed sometime between the time prior to "The Lost and Damned", at a time when Johnny Klebitz begins to doubt his boss's leadership of The Lost, and sometime in the middle of or sometime before the events of "DOA 4", when a large part of the characters are in the throes of destroying and liquidating DOATEC, the company that runs the DOA tournaments and at a time when Kasumi is constantly hunted by her former Ninja clan.
The story is narrated in the first-person from Klebitz's point of view. I wanted to flesh Johnny out a bit, to put in a league above his fellow bikers, as he was placed in during "The Lost and Damned". My reasons for writing the story are numerous, but primarily stem from the fact that nobody's even thought of combining these two before. It started out with Niko Bellic fighting in the tournaments in order to help bring it down and cover his immigration status in the U.S.A., but, the tournament rules being so incredibly vague in all the games, I scrapped it and left the tournaments out, themselves a bit constricting to the characters and the personal literary style I wished to convey. Think of it as an upgrade, from 2-D to 3-D and, later on, to 4-D.
Any sort of comment is welcome and highly appreciated. I truly hope you enjoy and can appreciate my work.
Sincerely,
The author
