The Corrupcy
Prologue
It was a normal night in Los Santos. I was in my home on Grove Street, Ganton. The moonlight shone through the window, lightening my bedroom, and the air was filled by Ice Cube's track played on RLS. "This sleep is going to be very nice!", I said, while looking at my neatly made bed. As I have laid down on it, I have instantly fell asleep.
At around 2AM, some noises coming from around the window woke me up. As I opened my eyes, I saw a figure standing near it. As it turned around, it saw me. My facial recognition skills were unfailing this time. It was my mom, who died in this house during a drive-by shooting.
- Hey mom! - I've said.
- Hey... Carl - She replied - You...
- What?
- You... You did not...
- Ay, what I didn't? - I've asked, being scared.
- You... YOU DID NOT ATTEND TO MY FUNERAL! - she shouted, scaring me shitless.
- But...
- NO! YOU DON'T RESPECT ME AT ALL! - she accused me, shouting louder and louder - YOU! YOU NEED TO DIE!
As I have heard it, I have instantly stood up from the bed, and ran through the figure, which was approaching my bed, and then jumped through the window, just into my Super GT, parked in front of my house. After I have ignited its engine, I have pushed the pedal to the metal. Then I have realised that I have a garage in San Fierro, so I started to head to San Fierro. To get there fast, I have driven onto the nearest Highway.
After few minutes of driving, I have successfully escaped Los Santos, but when I have entered Flint County, I felt the atmosphere began to be more mysterious than it was before. There was also a black FBI vehicle on the roadside. I have ignored the atmosphere change and the car, and continued to drive along the freeway. When I was getting out of the tunnel in southern Flint County, I have seen a flash. After it, I found myself in the woods, standing near a tree, looking at an old wooden cabin. There was something in the cabin. I couldn't control myself. My body was moving by itself, just in the direction of the cabin. After I was staying 5ft away from it, I felt my feet were getting wet. Then I have realised that I was in fact asleep, and that the whole creature thing was just a nightmare. "Ah man, this car costed me $200000!", I've shouted, while finding myself being submerged in the water. I have managed to escape the car. I have swum onto the nearest shore. As I have got on the ground, I've immediately seen an old-ass Walton, parked near the bushes. I entered it and drove to the nearest town.
The town was called "Angel Pine". I have stopped there and waited for a bus to Fierro, which was scheduled to be here in five minutes, at 5AM. After it arrived, I have entered it. I was so tired that I fell asleep once again. I was dreaming of some strange machinery working in a big building, likely due to the bus engine's work. When I was lurking around the dreamed building, there was a gun adjacent to one of the machines. It was a SPAS-12. My brain started to feel disturbing, as I didn't know what was that meant to be. Then, out of the sudden, I have heard a distorted female voice saying "Current stop, Doherty, San Fierro".
"Ah Great! Just at the time". My garage was here, in Doherty. Before I have entered it, I have noticed it was vandalised, as the windows were in bad condition. When I was inspecting them windows, I have heard a voice of an old man, who was sitting on a chair near the garage.
- Them vietnamese destroyed few buildings around here - he said.
- But... I and Woozie removed them all from Fierro! - I have said disbelievingly.
- Yeah, but some of them survived the factory explosion.
- Ah, shit! What can I do now? Buy new windows? - I have asked cluelessly.
- Nah, take this, that's all you need. - He replied, handing me some aluminium sheets.
- Uhm, ok?
- OH SHIT! Feds behind you!
I have turned my head behind to see the car. I was looking back for just a second, but when I turned it back, the man disappeared with no clue. When I have realised he was a ghost, I felt very disturbed, so I decided on leaving Fierro.
My friend owned a ranch somewhere out of both LS and Fierro. I have asked him if I can spend a night there. He agreed on that. I have grabbed nearest car and drove onto the Garver Bridge. As I have stopped at the ranch, I have seen another FBI car parked near the bushes, so I decided to get out of there. I have driven to the town of Las Barrancas, and climbed onto the hill, just east of the settlement. Then I have pulled out my camera and started to look through it. I've got shocked as I seen federals looking around the house and taking pictures of some pieces of paper scattered around the ground. There were also some of them holding some devices looking like remote controlers. Unfortunately, I was out of the film, so I couldn't take any pictures. Then I have realised that I could have been connected into some deep conspiracy, if I wouldn't notice the FBI car. After this, I have heard a buzzing noise behind me, and then I saw... The Mothman. I have recognised him by red eyes. I knew he is the harbinger of tragedy, so I have decided to enter my car and instantly drive away.
I have remembered that I own an abandoned desert airfield. I have decided to go there. After few minutes, I have arrived there. It was already 9PM, so I have decided to go sleep. The bed wasn't as comfortable as the one in my house in LS, but the sleep was still good.
At around 6AM, I have heard knocking. I have opened the door. There were two smartly clothed men. One was young and black, and the other one was old and white.
- Hello there, Mr. Johnson. - The old one said.
- Uh, hello, whatcha want homies?
- What have you seen yesterday at 8:34PM? - The young one asked.
- Uhm, I was driving around in my car, just to marvel at the beauty of nearby rocks. - I have replied.
- STOP LYING! - The old one again - We know it was you, who seen FBI around Toreno's Ranch!
- Damn, you got me... And you also got a bullet in your heads! - I've jokingly said, pulling out my dual wielded sawn-off shotguns, and pulling their triggers at once.
I have expected my home will be bloody, with tissue scattered around the front of the house, but instead, I've got some electronic parts scattered around it. I have realised the conspiracy is getting deeper and deeper, and that I could use the aluminium foil, which was given to me by this strange guy in Fierro. I know he gave it to me, because he wanted to protect me from them feds.
I was feeling someone would see me near those "dead" robots, so I have decided to move out again, this time to the Four Dragons Casino in Las Venturas, which was owned by my friend.
As I was in LV, I have headed to the casino. I have had a free hotel room whenever I wanted, because, as I said, my friend owns it. I have played some games around, and then got to my room to watch San News on TV. I was shocked, when I saw the news report.
- Yesterday at 8:36PM, the Gant Bridge has collapsed for unknown reasons. - said the girl in the TV.
- We also have news that there was one survivor, who claimed to see the mysterious Mothman, just before he entered the bridge - said the dude.
- Also, there were minor claims of explosions being heard in both San Fierro and Bayside Marina. - the girl added.
Then I have realised that the tragedy harbinged by Mothman was Gant Bridge collapse.
After all the boring crap they were talking about the collapse, there was a big text displayed "If you have seen something related to the mystery, call us at 213-555-6397". I needed to call them about the Mothman I have sighted few minutes before.
I have dialed the number. After there was third signal, I have heard a voice
- You have called to San News Headquarters, what do you want to talk about? - said the woman.
- Uhm... I am Carl I have seen Mothman yesterday in Tierra Robada at around 8:34PM, few minutes before the bridge collapsed.
- OH SHIT! So the survivor guy wasn't the only one! - the woman shouted - tell me more!
- Uhm, before I saw it, I was seeing some federals holding remote controlers. - I have said
- Wait, the news report said there were some explosions. If we add the fact that you spotted federals with remotes, I think we may have the mystery solved. Do you have any photos of the happening, Carl?
- Well, I was already out of film, so I could only use the lens to have a close-up of the action.
- Ah, alright then. Sorry, if you won't have any evidence to prove anything. I suggest you going to myth hunt.
- Hmm... Great idea!
After that conversation, I have rushed to the nearest photography store and bought as much film as I could fit in the camera. After this, I have bought myself a Sandking and upon entering Bone County once again, I have said "Let the hunt begin"!
Chapter 1
The hunt began. I have driven to the Arco del Oeste, where is the alleged Mothman house. I have investigated it in-depth. I have looked through every small hole, with obvious use of my thermal googles. All I could have seen was a kinda strange hole. There were also some pickaxes, so then I assumed it was just a mine, and the hole in the ground was in fact entrance to the under-world.
After I have taken some pictures, I have driven to the Sherman Dam and stopped by the roadside. After that, I have been looking on all the rock formations. I haven't spotted anything yet.
Then, I have driven to a small ancient village called "Aldea Malvada". When I have arrived, I started to have a strange feel. I didn't know what was creating it. I have inspected every small house. When I have finally inspected all of the houses, I have heard the buzzing noise again. I have turned around. I have seen Mothman just behind my back. Those red eyes are unforgettable, so I have instantly recognised it again. The first thing I have done, was pulling out those dual wielded sawn-off shotguns. Then I have shot it. Then the red eyes have like turned off. I have seen many mechanical parts and some blood. There was also a zip around its neck. As I have unzipped it, I have seen a man between some blinking lights and buttons.
- I... *cough* I am a federal a... *cough* agent. - he said.
- What? What the fuck were you doing inside this shit? - I have asked.
- I... *cough* I am planting bombs around fa... *cough* fa... *cough* famous attractions around San Andreas. - he replied.
- So you have destroyed this fuckin' bridge?
- Ye... *cough* yeah. The other agents were con... *cough* controlling the suit an.. and I was just planting and de... *cough* detonating bombs.
- Aw maan, so that's why I have seen those motherfuckers around Toreno's house with some remotes. - I have said.
- Ye... *cough* ye... *cough* yeah. They were controlling me. I... *cough* I have seen you once.
- Ah... One last thing. Say cheese motherfucker! - I have said, taking out a camera and taking a picture.
- Why yo... *cough* you do this?
- Because now, you feds will be fucked right into the ass. I will send the picture of you to San News. I will finally have proof to confirm that you feds made the Gant Bridge collapse. - I have said.
- NO! I... *cough* I will not let it ha... *cough* happen!
- First, you will need to not let your death to happen. - I have said, pulling out a deagle.
- Wha... *cough* what?
- Yo mama! - I've said, instantly pulling the trigger, shooting the fed point blank - Shit, I have killed a fed... again.
Expand for the photo of the fed
After the happening, I have entered my Sandking and started to drive all the way to LS. When I was passing the bridge to Red County, I have noticed that a black car is after me. I have instantly realised that another feds got news about their friend's death. I have stopped by the roadside, pulled out a deagle, and aimed it right onto the driver's head. I have pulled the trigger, killing the guy. Two seconds after he died, the car has exploded, shooting a big ray of copper. I have almost got hit by the ray. I have entered my car and drove to LS.
When I was in LS, I have safely reached the San News Building. When I have entered it, I have immediately noticed they are holding civilians at gun point. Then one of them started approaching me, but I have shot him in the head and immediately took cover. I have started a shootout. I have killed all feds inside. Fortunately, the film dropoff point was just at the reception. I have dropped it in and then... A helicopter crashed into the building, trapping me inside. I have managed to escape the building. I have connected the fact that I was stalked by FBI just after I have entered the Flint County. I needed to find out why I am so spied on by FBI.
Chapter 2
To gain all the needed info, I needed to plunge down into the crime world and find some informant. To do so, I have asked around my homies around LS. One of them said there is a guy, who is nicknamed "God", as he knew everything happening 'round the state.
I have driven to the guy. Then I have talked to him.
- Hey... I am Carl Johnson. - I've said.
- Oh yeah. - he replied - I was expecting you.
- Yeah, I know that. - I've said.
- OH SHIT! I haven't expected you will say this, friend.
- Yeah yeah. I want to have some info.
- Well, you mean this whole FBI shit, right? - he asked.
- Yeah. - I've replied.
- So well, I can't help much, as only high-ranked feds know the things related to targetting.
- But, what the fuck?
- Ay, calm down Carl. I can help you on getting to those feds. - he proposed.
- How? Do you know them?
- Well, I know the low-ranked feds, who can tell you about the high-ranked.
- Sounds good. So how can I get to them? - I've asked.
- You need to have a meeting arranged with FBI. Only low-ranked go on those. Also, you need to have a mediator, so them feds won't catch you. - he added.
- Hmm, can you find me one? - I've asked.
- Yeah, I will call you when I will find one. - he replied.
- Alright, so we better split up.
Just right after, I have entered my car and drove away. I have driven to the nearest hotel and booked a room. I have closed the room and locked it up tight. After that, I went to sleep.
The next day morning, I hear phone ringing. It was the "God" guy.
- Hey Carl! - he said.
- Hey, whatcha want?
- I have found the mediator for you. He had already been on meeting, so you just need to meet him. He will be near Roboi's food mart in downtown. If you will approach him, say "pancakes with syrup". - he said.
- Ah, great! I am gonna meet him, bye.
After the call, I have escaped through the window, parachuting down on earth. Then I have headed to the meeting with this mediator. I have driven to the food mart. There was a guy in a black hoodie. I've decided to approach him.
- Pancakes with syrup. - I have said.
- Yeah. - he grabbed me and took me to the alley behind the mart.
- Ok, I guess you are the guy. - I've said.
- Yeah. Actually, there is only one opportunity a week to have a high-ranked fed out in the public.
- When? - I've asked.
- They drive an armored van every Sunday. They drive from port to the City Hall.
- What they keep in the vans? - I've asked.
- I don't know, but it must be very valuable, as only high-ranked feds can operate the transport. - he replied.
- Ok, so what day is now?
- Saturday. You have about 10 hours to plan an ambush on the van. - he said.
- Alright, I will start thinking about it.
After that, I have made a plan. It started with planting a bomb on the ways out of the port area, which would damage the vehicle. Then I have planned on opening up the back door of the car. Then I would be able to see what's so valuable about the shipment. Then I will pull out the driver and question him about me being targetted. After I will get sufficent information, I will kill him.
When the plan was all done, I have gone to plant bombs on the ways out the port. I have waited until the van will appear. In five minutes, I have finally seen the van approaching the port. After it did so, it has driven into a warehouse. After few minutes, it has driven out. Then it has approached the way out. I have immediately clicked the button to explode them bombs. After this, I have ran to the van. I have opened the back door. I was surprised to see about 8 young black and skinny people cuffed in the van. I have let them go by shooting the cuffs. Then, I have approached the driver. He was fortunately alive. I have started to question him.
- Ay! You know me, right? - I have asked.
- Yeah, I, I I I I do. - he scaringly replied.
- Yeah, so now, tell me why am I so spied on, huh?
- Shit! Ok, we started to target you, as you are black an...
- What? You all racist or something? - I have broken in half of the word.
- No! I mean, you were earning money so fast that we thought you could be into drug trade. - he said.
- Yeah? So what was the whole Mothman thing? - I've asked.
- Our other agents spotted you near the Toreno's house, so they needed to distract you by destroying the bridge, so they could capture you, but you saw this robo-mothman and you fleed. - he replied.
- Oh yeah? So why you have crashed a helicopter into San News building?
- To capture you, but you have managed to escape, you stupid ni... - stops in the half, because of getting shot in the head.
- Stupid racist. - I have said.

After getting the info, I have decided to head home. I was surprised by the fact that it was completely empty. I wanted to get out, but... The door disappeared aswell. Then the floor disappeared and I have been falling down, and down, until I have landed in woods, again. This time, I could control myself. I was in the cabin and the strange creature was standing to me by back. As it turned around... I have woken up in my home on bed made out of cash.
I have realised that whole thing was just a nightmare.
THE END
