Stacy shoots up from her seat and faces Dale.


STACY
Excuse me?

Dale stands up and smiles, but doesn’t respond.


STACY
I don't understand what my sister sees in you.

DALE
Why don't you challenge me and find out?

Falcon lets the cameras capture the intense staredown for a few moments before interjecting.


FALCON
Dale Hunt. You’re up.

DALE
You gonna let me by, Ms Sunshine?


Stacy waits a moment before stepping aside. Dale prances down the bleachers.

DALE
Nice! Watch and learn ladies and gents!


Plumley walks awkwardly towards the middle of the platform, his metallic tights chaffing his thighs. Dale hops onto the platform, and meets Plumley in the center.

Falcon motions to Lau and Caine. They nods back. Then Lau makes a signal to one of the assistants.


LAU
Open the gate.
An assistant flips a switch. Slowly, the heavy doors hanging directly above the platform slide open. All of the cameras point up as the doors reveal a shimmering collection of sparkling light and energy.

Plumley steps forward and places his hands in front of him, taking a traditional boxer's stance. Dale Hunt closes his eyes and takes deep, measured breaths. After a few seconds, his body starts emitting a blue and green aura that matches the energy of the M-Verse. 

Dale opens his eyes, bends his knees, and takes a defensive stance.


FALCON
Proceed.
