The Blackbird

(( DO NOT USE THIS INFORMATION TO METAGAME ))

A mysterious driver who calls him/her-self as the Blackbird has arrived in Los Santos. His debut appearance speeding through the Olympic Freeway at blazing speeds. That speed is not enough though, as fast as the stock car can get him is never fast enough. Never enough for a speed demon like it. His intentions are unclear for now, who he is affiliated with is also unclear. One thing is for certain, he is here in the State of San Andreas and will not let police scare him off easily. So far Blackbird hasn't made any relations with the racers of the city, he only appears on the highway speeding maybe to break his record speed and not long after disappears. He hopes to catch the attention of the racing crews of the city, better parts and a place to share about the unique man and machine bond racers share. For the Blackbird is not only the machine, it is inseparable from the man who controls it as well.

 

The story will continue...

Making Connections

Chapter 1

After his first run using the Blackbird in Los Santos. Blackbird visits Los Santos Customs to install some upgrades into the machine. He first started with the external parts, a new and lighter hood with vents; a carbon roof to reduce weight; side skirts as well as front and rear bumpers. All new to fit the demanding performance he desires. After all that, he swapped the engine out with a new imported one from Japan via his connections abroad as well as a locally manufactured turbo charger that will increase horsepower higher than the stock one. He opted for paddle shifters in his new 7 gear transmission system and last but not least a new stiffer suspension to fit performance needs and not comfort. All that was done under the name of Blackbird to avoid his true identity being spoiled, the mechanic who works there is an acquaintance of him and as such was told to stay quiet about the true identity of the owner.

With the new upgrades Blackbird introduced to the machine, the newfound performance was astonishing. Accomplishing a record speed of 220 km/h inside city roads. Wanting to test out the limits of the Blackbird in a competitive race, Blackbird heads to Bayview to meet Jabar Williams. Jabar was confused at first as to who the Blackbird is and how he knows Jabar's name, suspicious at first - Jabar decided to accept the Blackbirds challenge of a race, in exchange for victory - he would take off his mask. They headed off to the hills just north of Los Santos, decided upon a start and finish aswell as a route. Without hesitation they began the race. Jabar's Jester received quite the good start, blowing off the Blackbird while the wheels spin-out upon start, still not used to the new power. Although the rocky start, mid way through the route the Blackbird overtakes the Jester and stays ahead until the last turn. It looked like the Blackbird was sure to win, however at the very last turn he takes a turn wrong and ends up flying. A deal was a deal, and Blackbird reveals his true identity to Jabar.

Defeat was not a big deal for him, the thrill of the race was what he sought after. Taking a break at the Bank, he overhears a conversation from a room on the 2nd floor. He comes closer and realizes that its the Russian mafia and with familiar faces as well. He knocks on the door and the bunch notices him outside before asking what he wants being there. He soon surprises them by saying their names even though they do not recognize him as the Blackbird. They immediately become on their guard and sensed a trap. He told them that he would introduce himself if let inside and after surprising them by knowing their names they let him in. Inside he tells them that he is the Blackbird and explains what he wants there. Earlier the day, a cop; a mechanic; and a Russian mobster was killed in a gunfight with an unknown party. Also victim to this gunfight, was Jerzy McEden a taxi driver- caught in the crossfire. He explains that he buried the Russian mobster after seeing his body on the street and the crew thanks him. Unfortunately, the crew has no further information they can give to the Blackbird since they did not see this in person. However, thanks were given and they set on their separate ways.

Enjoying his night as usual in the highway testing out the Blackbird's limits, he saw a crashed BF Raptor on the road. There was someone besides it, they start a conversation and its revealed that this other person is part of the Wanted. Perfect - he thought, they start talking about who the Blackbird is and why he is looking for the Wanted. A few days ago, Blackbird acquired the number of a recruiter within the Wanted. When referring to that he was given the number of a Wanted recruiter named Dre, the other person soon asked how he received the number. After explaining how he did, it turns out that the other person was Dre himself. In exchange for being given information, Blackbird removes his mask. After agreeing to talk further about this, they part ways. Not long after this, Blackbird sees the Wanted having a social night at the Yellow Jack Inn. Feeling its not much of his style, he watches from the outside.

While filling up his gas at the Wanted Reup, Blackbird meets with some Rooks and not long after the Russians again. Blackbird agrees to come to Mount Chilliad with the Russians and become a look out. Just before dawn, he enjoys the wonderful view up from the mountains not long before calling it a day and leaving the gear. Returning to his mundane day life after an exciting night run using the Blackbird.

Dead Men Don't Talk

Chapter 2

Following as day turns to night Blackbird heads to his car to suit up. He changes into his proper gear and drives away. Not long after, he sees Cozo Green, a low life who once was found snooping around a property by a member of the Wanted and was promptly held up. He was given a warning to not snoop around and was let go with all his belongings intact, only condition was to not call the cops. Of course not long after he brought the heat and 5-0 appeared. The people in question hide inside the apartment hoping to fool the police. Luckily, they weren't caught with AK's in their bags and resumed activities after they were sure the police was gone. Blackbird follows Cozo around unknown to Mr. Greens himself and finds him refueling at the Wanted Reup. Blackbird lures Mr. Green to chat at the Chumash Plaza and he falls for the bait.

At the Plaza, they talk about Mr. Greens and how the Blackbird knows him. He explains to Mr. Greens that he knows him from an acquaintance who Mr. Green called the cops on. Cozo brushes it off and thinks nothing about it. Blackbird lures Cozo even more by saying that he has access to heavy weaponry inside a "warehouse" storage facility that he owns. Cozo was at first skeptical about this as he barely knows who Blackbird is, but even though he asked around confirming his suspicion he still fell for the bait. They soon head out to this supposed "warehouse."

After a quick detour on the highway following a crash, they resume their trip using the Blackbird and leave Mr. Green's Prairie behind. Not long after without the Prairie slowing them down they arrive at the supposed "warehouse," its simply a workshop that has been abandoned and rarely used by people. Even though it was clearly not a warehouse, Mr. Green followed along to the second floor. Not wasting any time, as soon as they arrive to the office space above Blackbird pulls out his USP and aims at Mr. Green; "On the ground Mr. Green" quickly echoed after arming himself. Mr. Green complies and gets down on the ground raising his hands.

Blackbird explained his actions because he isn't one known to be holding people at gunpoint, this is even the first time Blackbird has done it to someone with ill intent. Blackbird tells Mr. Green that he is doing his actions because Cozo ratted on the Wanted member and potentially tried to get him arrested. Blackbird considers this payback for what hes done and kicks Cozo in the face. Cozo falls on the ground following the blow delivered, Blackbird stomps on him before flipping him over and immobilizing him. Blackbird begins searching him and finds a lump of loose cash, he doesn't hesitate to take it and burn it to ashes in front of Cozo. Blackbird takes Cozo's 50. Caliber Pistol and stores it in his jacket pocket. He then kicks Cozo again to knock him unconscious and drives away from the workshop.

Laying low in a multistory parking lot, Blackbird reviews the weapon he received. He feels a sense of guilt from what he had done. Although he considered Cozo to be scum, he did not think what he done was entirely right. He was looking at the 50. Caliber and while looking at the serials he thought to himself, "this is probably someone else's, someone out there got their weapon stolen from." He drops the gun on the ground and steps on it with all his strength, he then kicks it off the building and down to the street shattering it on impact. He breathes a sigh of relief and sits down on the rooftop admiring the view, he lays low for a few hours before leaving the building.

Family Connections

Chapter 3

As far as Blackbird is concerned, performance is all that he wants in a car. That being said, you still have to look the part. Blackbird looks no further than the talented mechanics of the Bayview workshop, some of which he knows personally as well. He enters the workshop and is promptly greeted by a few employees that already know who he is. While maintaining anonymity, he asks for a new Pearlescent in the beautiful Blackbird. They accept very much obviously, wanting to work on a hell of a car. After they are done, the beauty is truly one to behold.

Midnight races, couldn't get enough of them. The usual races were being held and as usual the Blackbird participated. He would race anyone with a half decent car he could find. Just as the time neared morning, he was doing a regular race with an Elegy Retro like he usually does. To his disbelief he lost the race this time but he remained respectful and the winner was gallant as well. He passes his respects from one driver to the other and gets on his way. One the drive back, just as the morning sun was beginning to rise, something unexpected happened. Blackbird is startled by the sound of a sudden phone ring. He loses his bearings for a moment in the drive but the quickly realize what has happened and pulls over. He turns off his voice modulator located in his mask and answers the phone call from an anonymous caller. "Hello?" was heard from the phone, though Blackbird remained silent. "----, its me, its your brother." Blackbird was shocked as he has not heard from his brother for quite the while. "Tyson, is that really you?" "It is, I need you to come home." Blackbird remained silent hearing this. "Its them again, I need your help." Blackbird realizes what is going on back in his home city, he does not reply but nods in understanding then hangs up the phone and turns his modulator back on again. *sighs* "its gonna be a long drive back."

Blackbird makes sure the car is safely parked in a private parking lot in the city. He paid for an extended parking period with a hefty sum, but the safety of the Blackbird is his priority. He returns home and packs his items, but he leaves his mask at home fearing it might draw suspicion to him in an International Airport. He rolls down his luggage and calls a taxi and he gets on his way to LSIA. One flight later and he lands in the Golden State, his home city. He breathes in the fresh San Francisco air and breathes a sigh of relief. "Home sweet home."

He takes a taxi to his childhood home, barely being occupied by anyone and opens up the garage. An old Ruiner belonging to himself from his high-school years is still waiting for him in the garage. "It ain't the bird I guess, but it will do." He takes off the sheet protecting the Ruiner from dust and takes the old car keys from the rack. Taking a while to start up, it eventually does with a roar a muscle car would have. "I've missed you." He drives to the Golden Gate bridge to head to his destination, Oakland.

After a long drive across the bay area, Blackbird eventually reaches the home of his brother in the neighborhoods of Oakland. He steps out the car and takes a look at the driveway. He notices the brand new Hakuchou bike his brother has bought alongside his regular sedan. He breathes a deep sigh before walking up and knocking. Before he even gets the chance to knock, the door is opened to the face of a surprised Tyson. "----! You're really here!" They hug each other without hesitation and walks inside. They get to business very quickly, talking about what has happened since Blackbird left the state. An old African-American gang who call themself the Tezcas has been harassing Tyson's business ever since he decided to go clean. The Tezcas were a gang Tyson was previously affiliated with, this affiliation led to Tyson eventually being jailed and his parents sick of it decided to move to San Andreas as well. Tyson treated this as a wakeup call and has since then decided to open a workshop in Oakland. The Tezcas tried to use this to their advantage and traffic drugs through the workshop, Tyson declined. It started with a few broken windows and ended with his workshop being set on fire. Tyson knowing there is no one else to look help to, calls his estranged brother in San Andreas.

Blackbird agrees with Tyson that the Tezcas has went too far with what they did and that he would make them pay. Tyson smiles in agreement and he opens his basement door, he reveals that he didn't go completely clean after his arrest and instead still owned a pair of sub-machineguns in the basement. They both take the weapons and get into gear. Knowing that Blackbird left his mask in Los Santos, he decided to go in using a regular mask though he did keep his modulator. The plan was set, take revenge on the Tezcas by destroying their business back. The Tezcas should learn to fear the brothers to prevent any future harassment by them.

It started with hitting a few drug operations being run by the Tezcas. It soon escalated to firefights involving them. The two tried to keep it as low profile attacks but that isn't always possible. When they raided the houses used by Tezcas for drug making they quickly realized it was an ambush. They head to their respective vehicles and make a run for it from the Tezcas. Tyson made it out very easily using his Hakuchou bike but the Ruiner is a different story. The Tezcas eventually catch up to Blackbird and causes him to crash. Seeing no escape, Blackbird takes out his last resort weapon and a gunfight occurs. Obviously, a big gunfight like this in the middle of the city attracted police. Thankfully, Blackbird managed to escape with the skin of his teeth and return to his safehouse.

During their 3 weeks of terrorizing the Tezcas they finally concede to Tyson. They arrange a meeting between the ringleader of Tezcas and Blackbird alongside Tyson, they come to the agreement to finally stop attacking each other and hurting each others profit. Finally Blackbird forces them to pay for the destruction of Tyson's workshop, although at first denying the request they finally give in in order to protect any more money from being lost. Blackbird stayed around to see Tyson's workshop finally starting to be rebuilt before saying goodbye to Tyson. They say farewell and has agreed to try and stay on good terms with each other. Blackbird returns his Ruiner to the old garage before taking a taxi back to the Airport. The next day he arrives back to Los Santos and is glad to be back to the city.
