April 1st, 2025 – RECAP - “Benji Ramos – NoPixel 4.0 - Twitch and kick after 1 hour”

Benji’s Morning and the Aftermath of the War
• Benji wakes up at his apartment, ready to jog to the Abyss, but Reggie picks him up instead and drives him there. During the ride, Reggie updates him on the war with Manor, informing him that it’s over and that Hades has folded. However, the way Reggie delivers the news makes it sound like he’s mocking the situation, which catches Benji’s attention.
• Just as Reggie is about to explain the details of the war’s resolution, Marlo calls Benji to let him know that Perez signed him up for a Hunt Game. Intrigued but slightly annoyed at the sudden news, Benji tells Marlo to meet him at the Abyss so they can discuss it further.
• After the call, Reggie resumes his explanation, breaking down the events of the war, including how the battles between Hades and Manor unfolded within 24 hours. Before the conversation can go deeper, Perez and Jayden arrive at the Abyss. Reggie then prompts Perez to tell Benji what the final payout was for the war. Perez casually reveals that the settlement was three hot AKs.
• Benji is instantly furious. He begins scolding Perez, frustrated that such a major conflict was settled for such a small payout. Jayden, sensing the tension, suggests they have a private meeting with only the higher-ups present. Before they can proceed, Ray calls Benji, voicing his own frustrations about how the conflict ended. Ray is particularly upset that the fight continued to escalate even when Hades was clearly losing. Benji, however, is unhappy that the war ended so abruptly, barely ten hours after it started.
Dodging the Hunt Game & A Close Call with Hydra

• While all of this unfolds, Hydra arrives at the Abyss. Benji immediately senses that they’re here to take him down for the Hunt Game. Not wanting to go down without a fight, he bolts, attempting to escape. Just as the chase is heating up, Skye tells Benji to pull out his umbrella as a defensive trick, preventing them from knocking him out. Following the advice, Benji manages to stall the situation. Eventually, Flippy approaches, and the two share a brief conversation, joking around before Hydra moves on, allowing Benji to return safely to the Abyss.
Private Talk & War Lessons
• With the chaos momentarily settled, Benji and Reggie sit down for a one-on-one conversation about the war’s conclusion. Reggie shares his perspective, trying to get Benji to understand Perez’s point of view. They analyze the decisions that led to the quick resolution and the payout, breaking down what could have been handled differently.
• As they’re talking, Perez calls Benji, inviting him to join a Jewelry Store heist and a Bank Truck job. Benji immediately agrees, eager for some action. Shortly after, Perez arrives at the Abyss to drop off some supplies, but as soon as he does, he and Reggie start bickering. Reggie mocks Perez for folding so quickly and for agreeing to pay Manor three AKs. Meanwhile, Perez defends his decisions, but Benji steps in to deconstruct the situation.
• Benji lays it out clearly: folding to Manor within 12 hours was a mistake, and even worse, paying them off set a bad precedent. He advises Perez to remain calm in future conflicts and avoid making rash decisions. More importantly, he establishes a new rule if a war involves Hades paying a settlement, Underbosses are not allowed to negotiate those terms. Instead, decisions like that must wait for Ray and Benji to handle directly.
