October 29th, 2024 -RECAP- “CLASSIC WARRR! - BENJI NoPixel 4.0”

• As Benji wakes up in the apartments, he prepares for his usual walk to the Abyss, fully aware that Hades is at war with SOB. He receives a phone call from Perez, eager to check in on the boys and find out if there were any fights that day.
• Perez informs Benji about a recent encounter: Hades had one fight, but unfortunately, they lost. Hades suspects they were ambushed, but the truth is that SOB was simply at the Courthouse near the electronics store, where they were picking up radios. Hades happened to pass by, and the fight quickly turned against them. Alan took down Rico and Lance with a shotgun, while MigL threw a grenade at Perez. The only one who managed to escape was Zee, who was quick on his feet and helped Perez hide the shotgun he had been carrying. Ultimately, SOB caught up with Zee and Perez, leading to Lance, Louis, Rico, and Benito ending up in jail.
• By the time the story wraps up, Benji is ready to roll out. All six guys—Benji, Perez, Louis, Lance, Aleks, and Rico—drive north to strategize for their next fight. They spend about an hour hunting for SOB, but there are no confrontations, only some back and forth on Twatter with Alan. At one point, Reggie delivers food to the boys behind El Rancho.
• Next, Benji is contacted by a God regarding the cargo container they’ve been waiting for, prompting the boys to head up Ocean Highway to open the crate. Rico successfully hacks the container on his second attempt using thermite. Inside, they find medical kits, painkillers, and $100K. For some inexplicable reason, Benji and Perez are blown up and then revived by the same God. Afterward, they drive north to Reggie’s house to stash their loot.
• The boys make a brief stop in the forest up north to discuss Rico's argument with Marlo earlier that day before the first fight. Rico shares his side, explaining that Marlo wanted to roll out, but he preferred to wait for a stronger team rather than taking whoever was awake. Lance offers his perspective, disagreeing with Rico’s view. At this point, Benji intervenes, urging the boys to stay positive and not to hide if six are awake. He hints that it would be beneficial for someone to step up and lead the group, maintaining morale. As the meeting concludes, they all drive back south, with Benji reflecting on the lack of leadership when he and Ray are not around.

• Somehow, the boys end up at Fudge, checking out SOB’s house and deciding to sabotage their garage. Perez successfully hacks it and blows it up before they drive back north. They stop in Sandy, where Benji has a conversation with Rico.
• Benji asks Rico why he seems in a bad mood. Rico explains that Marlo’s comments have affected his morale. Benji advises him to relax and not to overthink things; if he’s not feeling good, he should sit out. Rico recounts an incident where he was shot by BBMC by mistake while in disguise, and Marlo's side comments only aggravated the situation.
• Benji then has a sidebar with Lance, emphasizing the need for someone with a positive attitude to lead the boys. Lance responds by saying everyone is trying to be the head chef in the kitchen, offering his perspective on the argument between Rico and Marlo. Ultimately, Benji realizes that Hades needs a new War General and contemplates looking outside the gang for one. The day proves less active in terms of fights and is filled instead with meetings.
• Reggie calls Benji to inform him that he found a camera outside the Abyss and Benji suggests that Hades needs a "Vibe General." Reggie also points out that the last fight was partly Louis's fault for ignoring Perez's advice against going to the electronics store for a new radio. The boys drive back south to meet with Reggie. During their ride, Reggie and Benji discuss the need for Reggie to roll out with the boys and boost morale.
• Suddenly, a tsunami hits, prompting Benji to check some clips back at the apartment. When he wakes up, he calls Perez to pick him up and prepare his stuff for tomorrow.
• Benji receives a pleasant call from Dragon, who is currently engaged in a war (playing CBO6). Benji refuels and repairs his cars, and then he gets a call from Jon Joyce. During their conversation, Benji mentions when Jon should come home, and they share a laugh about how Hades defeated SOB the previous night, joking about MigL's priorities before his gang and the power of shotguns. Before ending the call, Benji tells Jon not to take too long to return home.
• Benji and Perez drive around a bit longer before Benji heads to bed, mentioning to Perez that he might wake up earlier tomorrow.
