ISRAEL
Point taken. And on that note…

Israel stands up and makes his way towards the platform.

FALCON
You’re volunteering to go next, Mr. Jahoa?

ISRAEL
Yeah. I figure it’s time for the big dogs the come out.

FALCON
Very well. You ready, Plumley?

PLUMLEY
Yeah…fresh as a daisy.

Plumley is trying to hold himself together, but the cumulative effect of Exhibition Day is starting to show.

FALCON
Alright, Israel. Proceed.

Israel takes a deep breath, inhaling the energies of the portal. His eyes and hands glow blue. Suddenly, he disappears in a cloud of blue smoke.

Before Plumley has a chance to react, Israel reappears in front of him. Israel unleashes an array of dynamic punches, each performed with lightening quick precision. The heavy fists club and smash into Plumley’s face and guts. An explosion of blue energy follows every strike.

Israel finishes his combination with a jumping uppercut that sends Plumley sprawling onto the floor. Israel turns to the rest of the competitors and brushes himself off as he walks off the platform. 

Adrien smiles. Israel's moves look oddly familiar.
