| January 2022 - The Lost vs The Senate
In the mid hours of January 24th 2022, members of Hydra Gang were invited by the Lost MC to join their war against Los Santos Senate who were pushing to take away land owned by The Lost. After a successful battle, The Senate and Unified Police Department/3.0 issued a full retreat due to all their weaponry being destroyed. Despite winning the battle, The Lost alongside other criminals in the city, had not won the war. Warrants and lockdowns were issued to those who were known to associate with The Lost, this included the properties of: Juan Carlos Hernandez, Susie Carmichael, Aleksander Sazkaljovich, Miguel Almerionand Mike Wadum.
A few days after these events, all of Hydra were pardoned and their properties were unlocked. They did not join forces with Lost again.

| Tensions In Mirror Park & Relocation to Little Seoul
|
| March 8th 2022 - Tensions In Mirror Park
After HOA had tensions with the Angels, they decided that all Angel sprays were to be removed from Mirror Park. The issue occurred when Daryl Dickinson decided to remove an Angel's spray from Susie Carmichael's house in the sack, doing so right Infront of her as she told him to stop. This angered Susie as she had both paid for the spray and believed she could have what she wanted on her own house. After making other members of Hydra aware of what had happened, Flippy decided to call HOA members down to the sack and tell them that Hydra now owned the sack and they shouldn't remove anything from their houses any longer.
Later on that same night, Siz Fulker - leader of HOA - awoke to settle the "drama". He told Flippy that everything in Mirror Park belonged to HOA and that if Hydra wanted their own turf, they had to move. Flippy agreed to this as he wanted no beef between the two groups and as a long-time friend of Siz, respected him enough to carry out his wishes.
On March 9th, Hydra members began to look for new places to move to. An area that stood out to them was just south of Little Seoul and was close to the turf of their parenting gang- Chang Gang. On April 18th 2022, Bogo and Flippy officially moved out of the Hydra Sac after living there for little over a year. This was followed by the rest of the gang officially moving away from Mirror Park- signifying the end of an era.

| Vendetta Countach Boost
|
| May 21st, 2022 - Boosting the Countach LPI 800-4
On May 21st, 2022, Vendetta (Hydra) successfully completed an S+ boost for the 1-of-1 Countach LPI 800-4 after being tasked by Puppet Earl. Arnie drove the car while Niko did the hacking, with Scarlett, Flippy, Miguel and another member playing interference. The car was successfully secured at the Snake Pit, however policed remained chasing Flippy. The chase eventually resulted in a shootout with police at a tunnel in the Vinewood hills, with everyone escaping. The Countach was stored in the shared garage.
On June 2-3, Hydra sold the Countach to Marlo Stanfield, a fan of Lamborghinis, for $5+ million.Puppet Earl meets with Hydra prior to the boost. |

| May 24th, 2022 - Taking the canals
In late May, in order to expand into the Vespucci Canals, Mr. Kebun placed a CG spray on a building in the canals, then unclaimed it, allowing Hydra to claim the spray, solidifying Hydra's entry into the canals. Over the next few days, Hydra steadily expanded its turf throughout the canals. With the canals secured, the next step was to push directly north, up Prosperity Street, securing Burger Shot, the "colorful garage", and Bob Smith Police Department along the way.
Flippy's overall goal was to reach 54 sprays by all means necessary, through war and/or diplomacy. But firstly, Seaside and Bondi Boys MC sprays in the Vespucci/Bay City area had to be dealt with.Hydra walking on Prosperity Street in the Vespucci Canals

May 27th-June 4th, 2022 - Diplomacy with the Bondi Boys MC
Flippy paid a visit to the Billabong and spoke with the Bondi Boys MC (BBMC), making assurances with them about Hydra's intentions in the Vespucci Canals. BBMC confirmed that they did not want Palomino Avenue to be a conflict zone and that they had no interest in contesting the canals and that they never claimed it. Subsequently, Hydra sought to expand north of Burger Shot but could not due to the proximity of BBMC and Seaside sprays in the area; Flippy decided he needed more breathing room. Days later, on June 2, Flippy called for a meeting with Irwin Dundee. The meeting took place at Legion Square, and Flippy gave Dundee an ultimatum to either give up a chunk of Vespucci (4 sprays) or Hydra would take them by force. Concluding that BBMC were not financially ready for a turf war with Hydra, Dundee reluctantly agreed to avoid war and instead give up the sprays. With this move, Hydra had absorbed a chunk of Vespucci with no conflict, and Seaside and BBMC turf was now separated by Hydra's buffer. Beach Team's turf was also absorbed into Hydra turf, and Junior Meats, BBMC's overseer of the Beach Team, met with Phantom and Bogo on the roof of the Snake Pit to smooth out relations. As long as Beach Team did not attack Hydra locals or tamper with sprays, nothing would change for them.Hydra turf (Yellow circles) after obtaining three BBMC sprays (Blue) near Burger ShotBy June 7th, Hydra had expanded their turf as far north as Lifeinvader at around 30 sprays, blocking the Mandem from expanding east past the golf course. Flippy and Miguel decided to focus on squeezing Seaside, in turn proposing a generous deal to the Mandem to get them to surrender in their concurrent war against Seaside so Hydra could make their own demands from them. Hydra and the Mandem later met in the Russian docks, with the discussion resulting in two possible deals: a 3-for-1 deal, where MDM offer up three sprays on Bay City (including Blue Cage) and Hydra gives MDM the latest spray on Lifeinvader, or a 4-for-2 deal where MDM offer up all 4 sprays in Bay City (making Hydra be a wall between Seaside and them) and Hydra gives up 2 sprays near Lifeinvader. Tommy T and Hydra initially agreed to the 3-for-1 deal at the meeting, but hours later Tommy called Miguel and the two sides tentatively agreed to the 4-for-2 deal.
On June 13th-14th, Mandem finally handed over four of their sprays to Hydra, with Hydra in turn transferring two sprays to them. The Mandem had hoped the handover would secure a solid wall between them and Seaside, but Hydra would not fully commit to the deal, handing over two of the sprays to Seaside.
June 8th-18th - Diplomacy with Seaside
On June 8th, Seaside met with Hydra in the Snake Pit to discuss turf plans moving forward. Flippy initially demanded five or six sprays, but the discussion eventually resulted in Seaside demanding more time to make a final decision. Benji Ramos later called Flippy and said he would swap two sprays with Flippy immediately, to honor an agreement made weeks prior concerning sprays.Hydra meets with Seaside about sprays June 8th, 2022Hydra sprays on June 17th, at 47 total sprays. |
| Chess Games: Southern Shield & the 54th Spray

| June 8th-21st - Great Wall of Hydra and skirmish with R.U.S.T.
By June 8, R.U.S.T and the Angels' turf sprays in the Los Santos International Airport (LSIA) area, around Greenwich Parkway, had become closer and closer, with BBMC's turf reaching the nearby sea wall to the west. Around this time, Flippy proposed a deal to Claire Seducer to have Hydra become a shield between the Angels and R.U.S.T. by un-claiming a spray and offering it to Hydra and allowing them to then expand. On June 8th, Claire informed other members of the Angels of the plan, to which the group agreed. Angels would become the fifth gang (including CG) to hand over sprays to Hydra during their expansion with no conflict.
On June 9th, Hydra discussed pushing south towards LSIA. That day, the Angels handed over their spray along Autopia Parkway, closest to R.U.S.T.'s spray, to Hydra. Hydra then used that new location to place its own spray just south of it to extend the shield. On June 10th, Hydra placed a third spray near the Los Santos Customs garage, with R.U.S.T. members in the area observing. Moments later, after some verbal confrontations, R.U.S.T began scrubbing off the second Hydra spray. Hydra responded and it resulted in a two hour shootout, in which Clarke Bishop and Kio Shima were shot down, and over 10 R.U.S.T. members were shot down. After the victory, Hydra began scrubbing the R.U.S.T spray furthest down Greenwich Parkway, near the LS Customs garage. Two R.U.S.T. members (Cydney Lune and Eleanor West) responded but were shot down as well. The spray was successfully removed. After the skirmish, R.U.S.T. requested a ceasefire until Raymond Romanov woke up, to which Hydra agreed.
Hydra later met with Ray, and, at the time, Miguel insisted if R.U.S.T. attacked the Angels, Hydra would not be obligated to involve themselves. The next day, June 11th, R.U.S.T.'s second in command, The Chemist, called Miguel and officially conceded they did not want a war, and that Hydra can "go south" and R.U.S.T. would "deal with that shit up north".
On June 12th, the Angels handed over two more sprays to Hydra, meanwhile Hydra had expanded on its sprays near LS Customs. Miguel insisted Hydra had no plans to go north of La Puerta Freeway, but south into LSIA. By the 14th, Miguel and Raul had convinced Flippy that the plan of completely shielding the Angels was the best, rather than only shielding part of it. Hydra placed more sprays towards the east, with plans to further expand south towards LSIA on the western flank. Around this time, Hydra had reached 40 sprays.Hydra's sprays (Yellow) shielding Angels sprays (Pink) from R.U.S.T.

On January 8, 2023, Hydra and R.U.S.T struck a spray deal. Hydra acquired the R.U.S.T. spray near the new Snake Pit location near LSIA, in turn Hydra pays $170k for the 2 other nearby R.U.S.T. sprays Hydra wanted. To sweeten the deal, Flippy agreed that R.U.S.T. reacquired a spray Hydra previously took from them, in a location Hydra no longer cared for. In summary, Hydra got the two sprays they wanted and R.U.S.T. got one spray and half the money for the second one.R.U.S.T reacquiring an old gang turf spray as part of a deal with Hydra Jan 8, 2023 |

| August 2nd, 2022 - The First Hydra vs. R.U.S.T. War
On August 2, Hydra was fighting GG around the old courthouse area. A rogue red frogger was flying above them and landed on a roof. Hydra and GG shot at it thinking it was each other's heli. The R.U.S.T heli blew up. During the Hydra v. GG fight, racers picked up the R.U.S.T members and took them to grandma's. After the fight, Hydra went to grandma's. On the way Mary called Flippy and mentioned that R.U.S.T were the individuals that were in the heli that got shot down and that hey to talk. When they arrive at grandma's Hydra and a GG member explain the situation, but Kaiba demanded an apology and other R.U.S.T members were making comments. Miguel said to leave or he will start shooting. After counting to 3 Hydra shot down all the R.U.S.T members.
Phone Call between Flippy and Ray:
After hearing the situation, Ray calls Flippy to figure things out. Flippy calls Rust people delusional for thinking, that they did nothing wrong and that they were shot for nothing. He explains his side of the story. Ray says, that Flippy acted wrong and that they needed to apologize. Flippy said, that he did that except for using the words "I'm sorry" and bending the knee to them. Ray still doesn't believe, that shooting people in the back who are leaving is right thing to do, even though Flippy says that they were shot for the comments that they said while leaving. Ray says, that he wouldn't do that and he wouldn't let shit get under his skin for little comments, but Flippy brings up the past and says that he already did that a lot of times and why would he let someone disrespect them right in front of them. Ray brings out that two respected gangs shouldn't shoot each other over smalls things, but Flippy replies with "I don't respect your gang though". After that Flippy says, that Rust has done nothing to gain their respect and Ray responds with "I guess we will find out".

On the Snake Pit roof, Tyrell explained to Hydra that his time is up with being in the southside and as the leader of the Ballas. Flippy pulled Miguel to the side to talk, and askedl if they should pull a Miguel 2.0 (Context, Miguel was GSF in 2.0. Flippy saved Miguel from being blooded out. If Flippy didn’t save Miguel he would have died). Miguel told Flippy why not , Tyrell is a pretty level-headed. Then Flippy asked everyone in Hydra what they thought about him. The conclusion was to save Tyrell and if Hydra works out for him, it works out , if not then it’s okay at least Hydra saved him. Tyrell accept this offer and told them that they will be at the docks by Autopia Parkway. Hydra set off to set up the ambush for the Ballas who will try to blood out Tyrell.

| December 27, 2022 - Hydra Moves out of Little Seoul
After around a month of planning and development, the Hydra Pit was finally moved out of Little Seoul and relocated to a new compound in front of Los Santos International Airport (LSIA), where Hydra has the "wall" of sprays in between the Angels sprays and R.U.S.T. compound. Part of the reasoning for the move was Hydra sought to further distance itself from the "CG Umbrella sub-gang" narrative (which had developed throughout 2022 to have a more negative stigma than a positive one) and make it more obvious Hydra is a standalone gang with its own identity, while maintaining a close relationship with Chang Gang overall. The Hydra-Street Team relationship was already essentially dead by this point due to a series of trust-breaking incidents over recent months.
Shortly after the move, a R.U.S.T. member asked if Hydra were planning to target their sprays, to which Miguel Almerionresponded they would no as Hydra already had all the sprays they need.
