The San Andreas Story

I love San Andreas and I'm bored, so I wanted to write the San Andreas story in as much detail as I can be bothered to. Basically just summing the game up! However, I am human (and a very lousy one at that ) so I'll probably forget some parts... In which I will blank out with ---'s or write in italics if I'm not sure on something. If anyone can offer the correction, I'll be grateful!

Carl Johnson aka "CJ" and member of the Grove Street OG's escaped from the pressures of Los Santos after the events of his brother, Brian's death. He went to Liberty City where he worked with/for Joey, a member of the Leone family for 5 years until he was called by his other brother, Sweet Johnson, who informed Carl that their mother had died due to a drive-by involving some of their rival gang's members, the Ballas. Carl headed back home.

While in a taxi near his home, three corrupt cops, officers Frank Tenpenny, Eddie Pulaski and Hernandez take Carl to Ballas territory as they explain to Carl that he should do what they say and blame him for the murder of officer Ralph Pendlebury, who died 10 minutes before they picked Carl up. They chuck Carl out in an ally and drive off to respond to the death of officer Pendlebury. Carl heads back home where he finds his old friend, Melvin Smoke Harris aka Big Smoke. They both drive to the cemetery where Carl meets another old friend, Ryder, his sister, Kendl and talks to Sweet, who is still angry at Carl for leaving 5 years ago. He explains that Grove Street OG's have been falling apart since he left and Ballas have taken over. Ryder is unhappy with Carl's return.

Over time Carl manages to earn back the respect of his family and fellow Grove Street members. They start to try and take over from Ballas and the Mexican gang, Vagos as well as repairing their alliance with their sub-gang, the Seville Boulevard family. Carl discovers one of his other former friends and high ranking Grove Street member, Big Bear is now addicted to cocaine and working for B-Dup who gave up on Grove Street and started earning money as a dealer. Big Smoke seems to constantly talk about earning fame and fortune and appears to be harassed by the C.R.A.S.H squad frequently. Carl also ends up running into them and Tenpenny sends Carl out on missions such as torching houses of people who want to reveal their corrupt activities and 'helping' Carl ruin the plans of other gangs.

Sweets dislike of Kendl's relationship with a member of the Hispanic gang, Varrio Los Aztecas causes CJ to find out more about him. As soon as Carl sees the man, Cesar Vialpando, with his sister, he takes an immediate disliking of him. Kendl manages to calm Carl down and Cesar explains his relationship with Kendl to him and Carl accepts them. Cesar starts offering CJ places in races and eventually the two become friendlier.

After lots of work, CJ and Sweet decide it's time to start taking the Ballas down for good and regaining their power. Before meeting Sweet and other Grove members, Cesar calls CJ and asks to meet him under a bridge. CJ goes and watches as Ballas exit a small building, followed by Ryder, Smoke, Tenpenny and Pulaski. They push a fake wall to the building out to reveal that there is a Green Sabre inside, the one that was used when CJ's mother was shot in the drive-by. Carl is surprised that Smoke betrayed him and the rest of the gang and realises that Sweet is in danger. Carl races to the spot where he finds Sweet injured and a few of Grove members fighting against the Ballas. CJ helps fight them off as the police arrive and Sweet and CJ are arrested.


However, CJ wakes up to find himself in possession of Tenpenny, Pulaski and Hernandez who inform him that Sweet is in hospital, but about to go to prison. Pulaski attempts to kill CJ, but Tenpenny stops him and explains that he wants CJ to do more missions for him. Sweet calls Carl from prison and Carl and promises that he will get him out. Carl also gets a call from Cesar, who tells him to meet his cousin, Catalina, who CJ finds threatening a man at a small bar. Catalina acts violent and angry most of the time and loves to rob places. Carl and Catalina start robbing places in the small towns around the countryside. Carl manages to earn some money and Catalina falls in love with Carl.

CJ gets a call from a man who calls himself "The Truth" and he asks CJ to meet him at a farm. CJ goes to find Officer Tenpenny smoking weed from a bong, which he was easily tricked into doing by The Truth in order to get information out of him. Tenpenny tells Carl that he must give money to Truth to pay for a load of weed to plant on someone who has been troubling Tenpenny.


Carl gets a call from Cesar, informing him that things are going badly in Los Santos and that the town is no longer safe. Carl orders Cesar to bring his sister to Angel Pine. He meets them at a trailer where Cesar is angry at the situation in Los Santos and wants to go back to sort things out, but CJ and Kendl both think that is a bad idea. Cesar is still reluctant to stand down and informs CJ that Smoke is a drug dealer but CJ is insistent that Smoke wouldn't involve himself with coke. Cesar tells CJ that drug runs occur twice a week to and from Smokes house and Carl decides to go and keep his eye on the highway to San Fierro to try and spot the run.

Carl manages to get involved in some illegal racing in the countryside with the help of Cesar. There he meets a man called Wu Zi Mu, also known as Wuzi or Woozie, who he beats in a race. Wuzi then offers CJ work in San Fierro. Catalina starts to get impatient with CJ's absence when she needs him.

Catalina ends up angry at CJ for a seemingly unknown reason and declares that they remain business partners. Carl does not seem to mind this, but tells her that she is breaking his heart. CJ returns to the racing spot to find Catalina enraged with him and with another man, Claude. They race and Carl beats them, but instead of giving Carl cash or a pink slip, Catalina gives CJ a deed to a garage business in San Fierro, stating that Claude needed his car to drive them both to Liberty City. Carl reluctantly accepts.


Carl meets The Truth to give him the money. The Truth is at risk of being caught with the marijuana due to a helicopter passing above. Carl burns it and he and The Truth drive into San Fierro in The Truth's van, which he calls the "mothership". They meet up with Kendl and Cesar at the garage, that turns out to not be worth the reward CJ had earned. The Truth helps Carl find mechanics that he knew around San Fierro for a chance to turn the garage into a chop shop. On the way round, The Truth tells Carl to make odd stops in certain places where he watches some seemingly, yet very slight odd behaviour. Apparently this means something to The Truth. They pick up Jethro and Dwayne, two old friends of The Truth who agree to help Carl with his business. They also meet Zero, a electronics expert with his own RC Store. Along the way, The Truth also informs Carl about the many gangs in San Fierro, including the triads.

Carl is still angry about the garage, but Kendl advises Carl to keep it and try running more businesses in order to make more cash. Later on, Zero calls Carl to inform him that his landlord wants to sell his store. Carl helps Zero by buying it himself. Zero informs Carl of troubles he's having with his "enemy", a man who is jealous of Zero winning first prize in a science fare, Berkly, who seems to have no limits when it comes to planning revenge. Carl helps Zero fight off helicopters and take down Berklys business via remote control aircraft... After a difficult battle with Berkly, Zero gets Carl to help beat Berkly in a mini remote control competition, which they win. This apparently means Berkly has to respond to Zeros request for him to leave town and move his business elsewhere.


Officer Tenpenny gives Carl a call, telling him that it is time to plant the marijuana in a D.A's car. CJ steals the car and plants the drugs, then puts it back. CJ calls 5-5-5 WE TIP and causes the D.A 's arrest. Afterwards, Tenpenny and Pulaski have another request for Carl. Carl is told to follow someone who is about to grass on Tenpenny and Pulaski's corrupt methods. Carl kills the grass and a reporter, who is being given the news.

Carl meets Woozie, the man who offered CJ a couple of jobs in San Fierro. They inform him of suspicious activity from triad gangs around San Fierro. Carl helps Woozie clear all of his gangs troubles. On his last visit, Woozie informs him that he is working on something else and needs to go to Las Venturras. Woozie leaves, while Carl helps the gang massacre the gang who are keeping prisoners on a container ship. Carl frees them and shortly after, he receives a call from Cesar informing him of a meeting between the Loco Syndicate, who are working on a drugs factory in San Fierro.

Carl and Cesar both go to the spot where the syndicate are meeting. They hide and take pictures of all who are there, including Ryder, the only one there that CJ knows. They take the pictures back to the garage in San Fierro, where Wuzi's right-hand men inform him of the identities of most of the faces; Jizzy, a pimp with a club in San Fierro and T-Bone, Jizzy's partner. The last person is left unknown.


Carl goes to Jizzy's club and offers Jizzy his skills in getting things done around San Fierro. Jizzy quickly agrees and tells Carl to deliver some of his ho's to their destinations, as well as taking care of the unpaying customers. Jizzy quickly starts to trust Carl, but when T-Bone sees Carl, he is immediately suspicious. T-Bone explains that there have been some troubles and that someone on the inside is to blame. Carl helps T-Bone and Jizzy fix some of the problems.

Carl arrives Jizzy's club again to find T-Bone talking to someone called Mike Toreno on the phone. He is panicked and informs Jizzy and CJ that Toreno has been abducted by a gang. Carl again helps T-Bone and Jizzy to locate Toreno and save him. Toreno is even more suspicious of Carl. When they get in the car, Toreno orders Carl to hand over his ID. Toreno reads it out and hands it back. CJ takes them back to Jizzy's club.

Carl is called by T-Bone and is told to meet him in a car in a petrol station. Carl goes and enters the car, wondering where T-Bone is. T-Bone appears in the back seat and threatens to shoot Carl unless he gives him the truth about why he's with them and who he's working for, insisting that he is trying to sabotage the plans. Carl denies all accusations and T-Bone let's him go, saying it was just a joke. Toreno enters and tells Carl to drive to a place, where a bike is parked. CJ is told to follow a van and protect the contents of it as other gangs try to destroy it. The van eventually reaches an abandoned warehouse. Carl now knows where the Loco Syndicates drug factory is.


Carl figures it's time to take out Jizzy and find out any more useful information he might have. Carl sneaks into Jizzy's club and threatens Jizzy, who acts very terrified of CJ. Carl chases Jizzy outside where he kills him and takes a phone which Jizzy has left.

________________ [ I'm don't quite remember what happens to the phone and where the link is between it and the below ] ________________

A few days later and Carl is tipped off about a flight about to leave San Fierro. ________________ [ what was Carl's other purpose there? ]... Toreno leaves in a helicopter and Carls drives after him and shoots down the helicopter with a rocket launcher.


Woozies gang give Carl a car, rigged with explosives. Carl drives it to the Loco Syndicate factory and destroys it completely. He then meets Cesar at Pier 69, where they overlook a deal between Woozies gang and the Loco Syndicate. When the deal goes wrong, Carl manages to take out some of the Loco Syndicate with a sniper, then goes over to Pier 69 to finish off the rest of them. When Carl and Cesar reach the end of the Pier, they kill T-Bone. Ryder jumps off the Pier and swims towards a boat. Carl races after Ryder in another boat. Carl manages to take his revenge on Ryder by blowing up Ryders boat with Ryder still on it. Cesar calls Carl, who had seen the explosion from a Pier. Carl informs Cesar that everything is okay.

Cesar and Carl manage to make good money with their business. They buy Wang Cars, which they use as a front for their illegal car dealing. They manage to steal cars that are ordered by customers for easy profit. After Carl being told he is no good at driving, he goes to driving school.


Carl is called by a mysterious man using a voice mask, who tells Carl to come to a remote cabin in the desert. There he meets a mechanic who tells Carl he must race across the desert in a monster truck under the given time or else he fails. Carl is confused and asks what he is trying to pass, but the mechanic refuses tell. Carl completes the race. As he sits outside the cabin, Toreno, who Carl thought had died in the helicopter wreckage confronts Carl. Carl is freaked out by this reappearance and believes Toreno wants revenge. Carl surrenders, telling Toreno he's only a drug dealer. Toreno informs Carl that he's not a drug dealer, but a member of a government agency. He orders Carl to call a friend to help him hijack a tanker, but Carl must not tell this person why he needs their help. Toreno recommends Cesar.

Carl calls Cesar and they go to hijack to tanker. Carl drives the bike, keeping it steady and next to the tanker while Cesar jumps to it and pulls out the driver. They take the tanker back.

Nice summary. And by the way, Big Bear was working for B-Dup after being hooked on crack.

...
Bear: "Hell yeah."
B-Dup: "Hell yeah what?"
Bear: "Hell yeah sir!"
...
B-Dup: "... go make that motherfucking toilet sparkle."
