Jason steps up to the platform, his white guns holstered behind him. With the shotgun resting on his shoulder, he strolls towards Plumley. 

Slowly, Jason takes in one, deep breath. As he does, the M-Verse portal reacts, transforming its color to a light green tint. A moment later and all of Jason’s weapons — the guns, bullets, and grenades — fill up with green energy, gradually erasing the white.


FALCON
Are you ready?

JASON
Yes, sir.

FALCON
Proceed.

Jason moves suddenly and with precision, leaping at Plumley and spiking his knee into the man’s jaw. Plumley tumbles down. Before he can get up, Jason has already unhooked a grenade from his belt. He chucks it towards Plumley and it explodes into a dark green fog.

Plumley is confused. The heavy cloud of green gas stifles his vision. He waves his arms around in futile attempt to clear it. However, the gas only covers the length of the platform, which means Falcon, the competitors, and everyone in the Command Room can see everything.
