Oh, so you want the story to be steered in a certain direction?
Here's some history, Dave....If you actually read the story, you will find Chapter 1 is basically a mess. I'm currently editing that Chapter off-line to make it a cohesive, readable story.....Second, I have done every chapter 'shock ending', which is usually a battle of some sort, keeping in line with what Mercury envisioned for the NES......Third, the cast of characters and the multiple storylines have become very complex, as has the plot.
Someone other than me has always started a chapter, and I expect that Mike will start out Chapter 5, since Mercury is AWOL. But Mike and Mercury understand the story and are the best qualified to post right now. Various elements have been introduced that drastically altered the course of the story....The Introduction of Kurt and Nick, and busting Jimmy out of jail, for example.
Chapter 5 will be the last, and will be where all the secrets will be revealed, all the questions answered, all the mysteries solved. That's what makes a good story. So, in answer to your question.....The story has been, as a whole, steered in this direction already. I will reveal that Jake (who has now been revealed to be Gary's cousin) will make one more attempt to take over Bullworth with an even tougher group....The Punks. How this will come about is yet to be written. All I can say though, is I'm looking forward to a hell of a final boss battle. It's going to be Dam Fine.
