Johnny

### Cause of Death

Strangled to death by Austin Kingston, and then beheaded by Shiro Shizuko after reanimating as a zombie

Johnny is a minor character and an antagonist, as well as a survivor of the outbreak in Route to Paradise. He is a reckless man that is part of Shiro Shizuko's biker gang, seemingly spending most of his time with other bikers blocking roads and attacking innocent passersby, robbing them of their belongings and likely killing them. During one encounter, Johnny and the other bikers attack three travelers, supposedly killing Austin Kingston and pinning two others into a cabin. But as Johnny would find out, Austin was not killed, and he returns to save his friends trapped in the cabin, strangling Johnny to death after a fight.

## **Pre-Apocalypse**

Johnny might have been part of Shiro Shizuko's biker gang prior to the outbreak, but it is unlikely. Johnny's motorcycle which is seen in "The Stranger" was supposedly a gift handed down to Johnny when a friend of his died fifteen years before the outbreak.

### **Season 6**

#### "**The Stranger**"

In the middle of the road, three bikers are standing next to their motorcycles, chatting. Johnny is in the middle of telling a story about how he beat the hell out of someone that took his rations. Tex, one of the other men, says that he would have killed the man for stealing from him. Leland, the last biker, agrees with Tex, remarking that he shouldn't have gotten off with just a 'weak beating'. Johnny takes offense to this, thinking that Leland is calling him weak, but Tex tells him to calm down. Just then, Johnny and the others spot an RV driving up the road towards them, slowing down to a stop. Grinning, Johnny waits until Austin Kingston exits the RV, approaching them with a rifle, which prompts Johnny to draw his own weapon, telling Austin that there's no need for guns. Eventually, after Tex goes through his routine of demanding that Austin give them everything they have, and Austin refuses, Tex shoots through the RV's windshield. Austin jumps back into the RV as the massive vehicle speeds forward. Johnny scurries out of the way with the other bikers, shooting at the RV, while it runs over Johnny's motorcycle, infuriating him. Eventually, the RV crashes after two of its tires are popped.

#### "**The Tick**"

The next morning, Johnny is out in the woods with Tex, Leland and Axel. They've been searching for Genna and Mackenzie Brohem - and Johnny isn't going to give up until he finds them. He's still in a foul mood about his motorcycle being destroyed. Eventually, Leland, while looking around, bored, spots a cabin through some trees, letting his companions know. Johnny bickers with Axel for a moment, before heading over to investigate the cabin himself, refusing Leland’s help. But as Johnny approaches the front door, opening it, he is taken off guard when Genna shoots through the door, hitting him in the shoulder. Johnny screams, both in anger and pain, while scrambling to get behind the house and yelling at the other bikers that they're in here.

Johnny yells, as he moves around towards the back of the building, grabbing his shoulder, blood trickling down his arm and dripping onto the ground. When Johnny sees Austin approaching the back of the cabin, he hides behind a tree, and then charges out at Austin as he's passing by, tackling him to the ground. Johnny gets one good punch on Austin, but it seems to take all the energy out of him, as he suddenly winces in pain, grabbing his wounded shoulder. Austin takes the chance to throw Johnny off of him. Both men clamber back to their feet, before Austin attacks next - charging at Johnny, falling to the ground with him. He punches him a few times, knocking a tooth out of Johnny’s mouth, before the biker knees Austin in his groin. Both men get to their feet again, and Johnny decides that he’s done playing, and draws his gun. But the second he does, Austin smacks it out of his hand, and slams his face into a tree, grinding his face against it until Johnny elbows him off. Austin trips up on a rock, and lands on his hip, sharp, horrible pain shooting up his body. Johnny recovers, and pulls out a knife, slowly approaching Austin with an evil grin, telling the man that he was going to kill him and then the girls. But as he brings the knife down onto Austin, he rolls to the side, allowing Austin the chance to kick Johnny in his face, breaking his nose. While he’s distracted by that, Austin grabs Johnny’s dropped knife, and slams it into his wounded hand, pinning it to the ground. He screams in pain, before Austin climbs on top of him, starting to strangle him. Johnny throws punches at Austin with his only remaining functional arm, and pulls at his beard, but it doesn’t seem to affect Austin. He keeps strangling Johnny, even after he goes motionless, looking more like a feral animal than a human. When he simply has no energy left, Austin collapses to the side, catching his breath. Austin then rips the knife out of Johnny's hand, before walking away, leaving him there.

Later on, Johnny is seen stumbling out from behind the cabin, approaching the group of bikers; he’s a zombie. Shiro Shizuko, leader of the biker gang, pushes past the other bikers to look at Johnny, beginning to unsheathe his katana. As Johnny begins to pick up his pace, growling loudly, Shiro turns to everyone, raising his katana. He yells, vowing to punish whoever did this to Johnny, before he beheads the zombified biker with his blade.
