Story of Mexican Revolution[]
John Marston walks into Chuparosa (Chupa fecking Rosa???), a dusty and quiet town, fresh off the ferry and a with a new arrival to Mexico. He is greeted in a rather unpleasant way by a group of banditos and they act troll as they hate him because he's honkey "Muricans r' dumb!" they say. They continue to terrorise John, but he is forced to gun them down and leaves them to rot to death in the warm sun in the middle of the town.
However, an old man witnessed all of this and admires John's gun skills. He is a British and offers to show John some gun techniques. The pair bond, even though Jhonny was reluctant at first as they are target practising. The old man is revealed to be Landon Ricketts, a retired and legendary gunslinger who was supposedly the fastest shot in the American West, especially Gold Town, where he killed outlaws. He gives John a lay of the land, talking about the local mayor in Escalera and the fart of a revolution coming.
Later, they are tasked to save a supply wagon that was hijacked outside of town by another group of banditos. Landon is the "town savoir" and unofficial mayor and is respected by all the locals. They return the wagon and Landon gets a hero's welcome back, while John is left standing behind like a piece of trash he is.
Landon tells John that Emilio Fortuna knows of a Javier, but is not sure if it is Javier Escuella. After a brief conversation, they find that Emilio's sister, Laura Fortuna, is being raped by Colonel Agustin Allende, during which Landon and John get into a heated argument about the paths each other have taken. Nevertheless, John rides with Landon on the train to Casa Madrugada, then on to El Matadero to find a butcher named Carlos who can help them. After meeting with Carlos, he leads them to the caves where Laura is being held. After killing some two men, John and Landon use dynamite to blow the door of her cell. The pair then has to escort Laura to Diez Coronas so that Carlos can take her home, but not before the duo takes out more members of the Mexican Army.
John Marston approaches the residence of the mayor the next morning, only to be stopped by Vincente de Santa, a medic in the Mexican Army. He intimidates John by holding him at gunpoint, but soon reveals that it's all a practical and participating joke and invites Marston in for a drink and some food, which turn out to be bagel (ass) bites. During their conversation, De Santa keeps eyeing the waiter who is serving him drinks.
On the way to the train they debate the role of mayor and its responsibilities to its citizens. The Doc tells John that Mexico is in a state of chaos and anarchy due to the rebellion. Upon asking about Bill Williamson and Javier Escuella, he's told that bandits gather in the hills there, under the leadership of a man called Abraham Reys. De Santa invites Marston with them, as they attempt to capture Reys and get to Billy and Escuella.
In exchange for aid in locating Javier Escuella, Marston is sent to village, pillage and destroy the town of Tesoro Azul that is suspected of containing rebels. While Johnny burns down the church and houses as he is instructed, De Santa and Espizona take some girls with them for Allende to rape.
Some time later, Marston approaches Landon Ricketts in the town of Chuparosa again, and joins his game of poker with some buddies, including Lucky Müller. During the accusation of cheating, Muller challenges Jhon to a duel in the middle of the road. During their way to the duelling spot, Landon is killed with a shot to the head and raped by Billy Sanchez. John and Lucky then part ways and decline duelling one another as they rather mourn Ricketts.
Later, John Marston approaches the President's villa, when met by doctor De Santa. He's told that they've been betrayed by Espi's lies, so he could get further to Ahende than De Santa, and that Marston needs to come with him at once.
Two weeks later as John Marston arrives at Allende's villa, medic De Santa and Quincy Montemayor are forcefully moving women along, meant for sexual entertainment for Dictator Allende. Marston is then told that William Williamson and Javier Escuella are riding with the rebel leader Reys.
Next Allende wants Marston to escort a train all across Nuevo Paraíso, a dangerous job, in exchange for 20,000 pesos and information about Escuella. Marston, of course - accepts. However, Allende does not provide Marston with the money after completing this task, nor does he tell him where Escuella is, much to John's cringe.
After the job, John arrives to see Laura Fortuna's sister comforting their mother in front of their house. Marston learns that the family expects a revolution in the near future, led by Abraham Reys. The family is going to hide out in the hills, except for her sister, who will have to flee because of the way women are treated by Allende. Laura herself decides to stay.
Laura then asks Marston to take her sister, Miranda, to the docks where she'll be shipped off to work for a man in Rio Bravo. Unknown to Miranda and John however, the man turns out to be no better than Allende and he kills Miranda by cutting off her head once she is resists his rape of her.
Very soon, Laura Fortuna is distraught because Abraham Reys, the leader of the capitalist or libertarian rebels and her lover, has been captured and sentenced to get a fatality by the Mexican Army at The Prison. Fortuna begs Marston to help rescue Reys and save the rebellion. Marston accepts however.
Soon, John Marston is told by Colonel Allende that Bill Williamson and Escuella have been captured in Chuparosa. Together with De Santa, he travels to Chuparosa, where he's betrayed by De Santa. Abraham Reys' men come to aid Marston, as a huge firefight breaks out between the Mexican army and the rebels.
John Marston meets with a nervous Laura Fortuna to discuss the future of the revolution. Laura's father has been killed for treason, and she wants Marston to help fight in the revolution. Colonel Agustin Allende is sending reinforcements and supplies to fight against the rebels, and Abraham Reys has asked that John stop them while in return, Abe himself will look into Billy Willy and Javier Escuella as a favour to John for saving his life and helping out the revolucione.
Soon, Marston arrives at Laura Fortuna's camp, and is told that Vincente de Santa is overseeing a massacre in El Sepulcro. She asks Marston to put an end to it, by killing De Santa and all of his helpers. Marston, like a dumb American dog that he is, does what he's told and murders de Santa in cold blood, under the supervision of the mighty and important rebel, Victor Melendez.
Later, John Marston goes to meet with Abraham Reys in Agave Viejo. Reys asks Marston to help steal a supply train from the Mexican army. John is forced to say "yes" otherwise there will be no Escuella for him.
Soon upon arriving at Agave Viejo, John sees a scene of sexual nature done by Abraham Reys. After throwing his woman away and a brief discussion on the nature of marriage, race and class, Reys informs John Marston that he has discovered that Javier Escuella is hiding with the Mexican Army at El Presidio. He invites Marston to join him as Reys' Rebels attack El Presidio, to capture Escuella, and take over El Presidio. Marston finally encounters Javier himself at the El Presidio and after much resistance, he manages to knock him out and take his body to the FBIs across the border, who will take Javier from there and hang him in Gold Town.
Later, the Mexican army does some fatalities on many rebels in Escalera and has caught Abraham Reys... again. John Marston arrives to see the citizens fighting the army, and eventually finds a tied-up Reys, about to be executed.
Laura Fortuna tries to save Reys with a knoif, only to get shot, raped, tortured and killed, and Marston avenges her by killing two of the guards watching over Reys, who did her. The remaining guard, Raul Zubieta, is challenged by Marston to a duel. Marston wins and frees Reys after Zubieta takes a crap and dies. After freeing many rebel prisoners, including Santino Alcalde, the rebels launch an all-out assault on Escalera.
At the end William Williamson is killed by Marston per Edgar Rose's request in the middle of Escalera and for siding with the army during the rebellion. Colonel Allende is killed by Reys for oppressing the Mexican people in the middle of the street as well, after betraying Williamson. Marston is then asked to return to West Virginia to finish his quest.
