After Zack won a large sum of money in Vegas, Zack and Niki bought an island which Zack named after himself. He invited most of the females he remembered from the last tournament (there was no Lisa) to his island under the false pretense of holding another tournament. The women arrived and after finding out the truth, namely that it was all a big hoax, they decided to make the best of the situation by spending their vacation there. After two weeks when the women had left, Zack and Niki remained alone on the island.
However, after a previously inactive volcano erupted, and Niki decided to abandon Zack and escape using his jet pack. Zack survived the volcanic eruption, but his island was completely destroyed.

After the horrible volcanic disaster, Zack and Niki seem to have made up and become a couple again during Dead or Alive 4, as they're seen robbing an ancient tomb and escaping in a truck filled with gold, along with a horde of angry skeletons in tow. Niki is Zack's lucky charm (Lady Luck) and he takes her everywhere with him, going as far as naming a beach on his island's eastern shore after her.
