Jason Bermudez

*"I was afraid that you would think I'm weird."
"Yeah, you're kinda weird... but I like that about you."*
―Jason Bermudez and Lily Moser[src]
**Jason Bermudez** is a former Melston High School student, who discovered the existence of Ogres during his pre-teen years, motivating him into gathering work to prove their existence to people who had speculated them to be mythological. Returning to the Abandoned Swamp he inadvertently visited years prior, Jason unfortunately had himself, and his best friends, Daniel Coleman and Alex Rainsford, expelled three days before their high school graduation for trespassing and causing disturbances within the private property. Wanting to make things right, Jason and his friends, with the help of his sister Sarah and his secret crush, Lily Moser, created the *Shrekbusters*, a professional extermination business specializing in capturing and containing Ogres..

When Raymond Floyd, Jason's longtime bully, sought to confront him under the assumptions the *Shrekbusters* were nothing more than a scam, and that he had manipulated Lily into joining him, the confrontation ultimately resulted in the destruction of the Ogre Containment Unit, causing the Bermudez Residence to explode, leaving an portal to the Ogre Dimension in its place. Recruited by Mayor Buddy to solve the problem, Jason and the *Shrekbusters* confronted the Ogre overlord Shrek, using their Proton Guns to intersect their streams and revert the portal's functions, causing every Ogre to be sucked back into the Ogre Dimension. Jason prevailed to sacrifice himself so he could get Shrek to follow him into the Ogre Dimension, but was rescued by Lily. Victorious, the *Shrekbusters* became under Mayor Buddy and the Orlando Government's protection, being provided the Orlando Firehouse to be their new headquarters. Jason reconciled with Lily, and the two of them began dating.

## History

### Early Life

*"We moved to Florida after my parents divorced... and I became the "new kid" at my school, and... Ray decided to pick on me..."*
―Jason to Lily Moser[src]

Jason Bermudez was born in 1998, becoming the younger brother to Sarah Bermudez. Both siblings were of Hispanic descent. Sometime later, Jason and Sarah's parents divorced, leading them to move to Orlando, Florida with their now-single mother. Purchasing the Bermudez Residence, the family continued their lives in the new household. Eventually, a picture of Jason and Sarah sitting on the front porch was taken and hung up on a wall upstairs.

### Bullied by Raymond Floyd

*"I ditched school for the rest of that week... just so I could hide from them. Then, when I came back on Monday, I spent the whole day just looking behind my shoulders."*
―Jason to Lily Moser[src]

Jason Bermudez became a student at Orange County Middle School, but ultimately concluded that school was a huge waste of his time, resulting in him to just sit at his desk and put in absolutely no effort into his schoolwork and education. Jason's mother eventually learnt of Jason's lack of participation in his school, but as Jason deliberately continued his refusal to work, his mother started to no longer become phased by Jason's troublesome behavior anymore. One day, Jason was educated on the area of a triangle, but his constant stubbornness frustrated his teacher, placing him in detention. During the end of class, Jason was held back by his teacher who reminded him that he won't get anywhere in life if all he did was sit in the classroom and did nothing, and sent him home, with the intentions of seeing him next week.

Walking home, Jason continued to let out his irritation towards school, questioning when in any given point of his life he would even need to know the area of a triangle. Jason was interrupted as he heard voices in the distance, before turning around to see Raymond Floyd, DeAndre and Luis, who learnt that Jason was a new resident in Orlando. The three bullies attempted to have Jason come over to them, but Jason refused and started running away. However, Ray refused to let Jason escaped, and ordered DeAndre and Luis to chase him. Jason attempted to escape the bullies by running into the entrance of a private property, but was ultimately caught. Grabbed by either side, Jason was confronted by Ray, who prevailed to break his legs as punishment for trying to run away from him. Ray then asked which leg he and his pawns should break first, but Jason tired to convince them to break neither. The group were suddenly encountered by Officer Trenten, and with the bullies distracted, Jason managed to break free and escape into the private property.

Jason was chased through the private property's forest by DeAndre and Luis, before eventually encountering a swamp. Jason dropped down from the log bridge he was standing on and hid in the water, behind some swamp vines. DeAndre and Luis then caught up to Jason, but couldn't tell where he was. Luis reckoned Jason went into a creepy house that was in front of them, but DeAndre took one look at the house, and concluded that he would be dead if he went there. Ray then caught up with his lackeys and became irritated that they had lost Jason, before ultimately leaving without him. As Ray left, he threatened he would get Jason the next day.

### Discovering the Existence of Ogres

*"After they left, I noticed the creepy house they were talking about... I decided to check it out. I ran home after that. I told my mom about it... obviously she thought I was making things up."*
―Jason to Lily Moser[src]

Jason hid within the swamp vines for a short while, until he knew for sure Ray, DeAndre and Luis were gone. Jason got out of the swamp water, covered in green slime, and noticed the house in front of him that DeAndre and Luis were talking about earlier. Jason decided to check out the house, and walked up the porch and towards a window. Looking through the window, Jason caught a glimpse of a real-life Ogre, who sensed Jason's presence and turned to face him. The Ogre then growled at Jason, scaring him and forcing him to flee. Jason eventually returned to the Bermudez Residence to tell his mother about the Ogre, but she unfortunately thought Jason was making the story up. Jason ultimately decided to ditch school for the rest of the week in order to hide from Ray. By the time he came back on Monday, Jason spent the rest of the day looking over his shoulders, paranoid Ray would eventually come to retaliate. During his return to school, Jason decided to keep his encounter with the Ogre to himself, knowing people would think he was weird if he told them.

### Befriending Daniel Coleman and Alex Rainsford

*"I knew if I told anyone about what I saw, they would think I'm weird or something. Although, after I met Daniel and Alex in freshman year, I felt... I don't know... less alone? Daniel's grandfather told him folklore about Ogres, and Alex read a lot of ancient mythology."*
―Jason to Lily Moser[src]
Jason became immensely depressed and irritated during his school years, both due to his reluctant experiences with Raymond Floyd and his encounter with the Ogre, leading him to become isolated amongst the other students. However, Jason's life eventually started to turn around when he met and befriended Daniel Coleman and Alex Rainsford, two other outcasts, during freshman year. Much to Jason's surprise, both Daniel and Alex believed in Ogres just as much as he did, and decided to devote their lives to studying them, hoping to prove their species' existence to the world.

### High School Years

*"I remember when I first met you in geography. You would always get kicked out of class."
"Oh yeah, Mrs. Gascon? She was annoying... She'd always yell at me for something stupid."*
―Lily Moser and Jason Bermudez[src]
Jason eventually started to attend Melston High School, alongside Daniel Coleman and Alex Rainsford. However, the three friends ultimately continued to maintain a disappointing reputation with Raymond Floyd, who discovered that the three believed in Ogres, and would constantly tease them due to his disbeliefs in their existence. Jason continued to maintain his non-participant status during his education, leading him to constantly be kicked out of geography class by his teacher, Mrs. Gascon. Jason came to dislike Mrs. Gascon, because she would always yell at him for reasons he stated to be stupid. Jason eventually met Lily Moser during his geography classes, and became romantically attracted towards her. However, Jason became slightly heartbroken as he later learnt she was Ray's girlfriend.

### Trespassing the Abandoned Swamp

*"What the hell do I say?"
"I don't know! Say hi or somethin'..."
"Oh yeah, you're a REAL GENIUS Daniel. Okay, let me just go up and say hi to the BLOODTHIRSTY OGRE. Yeah, okay."*
―Jason Bermudez and Daniel Coleman[src]

By 2016, Jason, Daniel Coleman and Alex Rainsford were scheduled to graduate Melston High School at the end of June, despite Jason's lack of schoolwork that he carried on for multiple years. Jason ultimately concluded that enough time had passed since he first encountered the Ogre in the Abandoned Swamp, and decided it was time to re-visit the establishment to get a better look at it. One night, Jason brought his friends over to the entrance of the private property, where he intended to go back in and explore. However, Daniel became hesitant to partake in the infiltration due to the place being a private property. Jason solved this issue by removing the sign stating the area's purpose, and went into the forest.

Slowly walking towards their destination, Daniel continued to express their worries that this investigation would ruin their shots at graduating in three days time, leading Jason to sarcastically tell Daniel to leave if he didn't want to participate, saying that maybe an alligator would come along and bite his arm off if he left alone. Scared, Daniel decided to reluctantly follow Jason and Alex. The three friends eventually returned to the core of the Abandoned Swamp, the creepy house right in front of them. Entering the establishment, Jason started smelling noises, much to Daniel's confusion. Alex concluded that the smell was a dead animal, and traced the smell back to a room where the Ogre was eating a dead alligator, much to Jason's surprise. Jason then told his friends to not make any sudden noises, only for Daniel to sneeze, catching the Ogre's attention.

Jason started freaking out, and desperately asked his friends what they were supposed to do. Alex told Jason to communicate with it, believing their was a slim chance it could be friendly. Daniel agreed with Alex's plan, convincing Jason to walk up towards the Ogre. Unsure of what to say, Jason was requested by Daniel to say hi to it, but Jason became absolutely frustrated by the idea of saying hi to a bloodthirsty Ogre. Jason decided to greet the Ogre by saying "Sup", but the Ogre turned right around and continued eating the alligator. Jason then returned to where his friends were, with Daniel asking if it ignored him. Jason sarcastically said that it didn't, and that it invited him to have a tea party, before getting straight to the truth.

Daniel and Jason then started arguing about Jason's sarcasm, before being interrupted by Alex. Jason turned around to see the Ogre standing right in front of them. Believing they were screwed, Jason and his friends escaped, screaming. The three eventually traced back to the entrance of the private property, where the group took a moment to catch their breaths. Unfortunately, just when Jason thought they were in the clear, the three were busted by Officer Trenten who busted them for going into the private property. Daniel then told Jason that they shouldn't have gone in. The three were eventually taken back to their respective homes.

### Melston High School Expulsion

*"Report says you boys were causing disturbances during the night."
"Okay, that wasn't us. That was the Ogre that almost had us for dinner!"
"Mr. Bermudez, in life you have to take ownership for your actions, not blame them on mythological creatures such as "Ogres"."*
―Melston High School Principal and Jason Bermudez[src]

Returning to school the next day, Jason sat in homeroom, still frustrated from the events that happened last night. Jason started banging his head on his desk, before turning his attention towards Lily Moser, who was in front of him talking with her friends. Jason started daydreaming about Lily, until Raymond Floyd entered the room, disappointing Jason even more. Ray stuck around in the classroom for a short while, before eventually leaving, much to Jason's relief. Unfortunately, just then, the PA Announcer called Jason's name, alongside Daniel Coleman's and Alex Rainsford's, to go to the Melston High School Principal's office.

Jason walked to the principal's office against his wishes, where he encountered the principal's assistant. He asked her if she knew where the door to the office was, but the assistant rudely told him it was literally right in front of him. Jason then sarcastically thanked the assistant, calling her an asshole behind her back, before walking into the office to confront the principal. Jason's friends were already in the room when Jason walked in. Daniel continued to blame Jason for getting them into trouble, but Jason told Daniel to relax, believing their current issue had nothing to do with what happened last night. However, the principal confirmed that they were indeed in trouble for trespassing and damaging the private property.

Jason argued with the principal, asking how was it a crime due to the private property being abandoned. However, the principal claimed that abandoned or not, it belonged to someone and that they broke in without permission. The principal then added that he received reports that the three were additionally causing disturbances during the night, but Jason told the principal that it was the Ogre that was trying to eat them. The principal became unamused by Jason's statement, saying that there are some points in life where one has to take responsibility, instead of blaming them on "mythological" creatures such as Ogres. The principal then told the three that the school would not tolerate their actions, and dropped the biggest bomb by expelling them all. Daniel became initially shocked, but Jason became relieved, saying he didn't want to be in school anyway.

### Professional Ogre Exterminator

*"You know what else I know? That we should start a business..."
"A business of what?"
"Of what you're talking about, hunting Ogres! Just us three: Professional Ogre Exterminators."*
―Jason Bermudez and Daniel Coleman[src]

Cleaning out their lockers, Jason, Daniel and Alex grabbed all their stuff, ready to go home. However, Daniel became immensely disappointed with Jason, blaming him for the mess they got into. Jason tried to get Daniel to look on the bright side, saying that they no longer had to deal with school, and that they could now go home. Daniel then told Jason that he was just kicked out of his house, providing Jason with the idea to have both him and Alex crash at the Bermudez Residence for a while. When Daniel asked how Jason's mother would react if she knew he got expelled, Jason assured Daniel that she wouldn't care, saying that she was currently visiting her new boyfriend out of state.

Jason started to notice the red box that Daniel and Alex had along with the rest of their equipment, and told Daniel to leave it, doubting he had any room in his house to have it stored. However, Daniel told Jason that is wasn't a red box, but rather an Ogre Containment Unit. Questioning what the purpose of the containment unit was, Jason had his questions answered as Daniel explained that Alex wanted to keep an Ogre as a pet and observe its behavior, before ultimately telling Jason that they were making a Proton Pack to help them hunt some Ogres. Jason suddenly got the bright idea for him and his friends to start their own business specializing in hunting Ogres. Daniel asked Jason how they were going to pull off their business without any money or resources, but Jason told Daniel that they would work with what they've got. Thanks to Alex's statistics, both he and Daniel were convinced to join Jason into creating their business. Jason then texted Sarah to have her make some flyers for the business.

### Leaving School

*"Listen pencil-neck, enjoy your three days of freedom. Because once I get outta here, you cross my path, and you're DEAD!"*
―Raymond Floyd to Jason Bermudez[src]

Walking down the hallway with Daniel and Alex, Jason became excited to start his business, telling Daniel that they would be able to by stacks of games with the money he intended to make. Daniel told Jason that they should spend the money on needs, not wants, hoping to be the driving force of the business' money, having taken History Class. Jason continued to anticipate his future business, before having the back of his shoe flattened by Raymond Floyd from behind. Joined by DeAndre, Luis, Lataisha, and Lily Moser, Jason and his friends were constantly bullied by the group, until Lily told Ray to stop. Ray suddenly learnt that Jason and his friends just got expelled, and threatened to them to enjoy the last three days of freedom, hoping to have them dead once he graduated.

Ray and his associates then left Jason with Lily, who apologized for Ray's behavior. Jason threatened to break Ray's nose, but Lily told him not to be so hostile. Lily then left, but Jason continued to stammer as he tried to say goodbye back. Alex then revealed that the probability of Jason dating Lily had dropped to 12%, but Jason embarrassingly tried to convince his suggesting friends that he had absolutely no romantic attraction to Lily whatsoever. The three then decided to drop the subject and leave.

### Meeting Tully Grooberson

*"How's Sarah?"
"Oh, she's fine... without YOU! Now if you'll excuse us, Tully, we got more important things to do..."*
―Tully Grooberson and Jason Bermudez[src]

Now completely on their own, Jason, Daniel and Alex started heading back to the Bermudez Residence. Jason continued to convince his friends that their business would change their lives for the better, still relived to finally be out of school, commenting on how Daniel was always concerned about his reputation. Jason then promised that everything would be fine, and that Daniel wouldn't regret a thing. Approaching home, Jason requested his friends to walk really slowly past Tully Grooberson's house, hoping to avoid him. When asked why, Jason explained that Tully was an annoying new neighbor who had been trying to become friends with him so he could get to Sarah, who he has a crush on. The three attempted to walk slowly past the house, but their attempts to avoid Tully failed as he opened the front door and walked towards them.

Tully started asking Jason how he was doing, asking about his school finals. He started reminiscing of his senior year and how he attempted to set up goals so he could date Sarah, goals that didn't really worked out as he intended. He then asked Jason how Sarah was doing, but Jason told Tully that she was doing fine without him. Jason and his friends then left Tully, proceeding to Jason's house. Seeing Tully trying to get back inside his house, Daniel asked Jason how long it would be until he realized that the door was push, not pull. Jason, opening the door to his house, told him it would take probably a couple of hours. Entering the house, Jason set Daniel and Alex up in their own room, and went back downstairs to see Sarah.

### Talking with Sarah

*"Sarah, they've been my only friends since we moved here... it's the least I can do..."
"\*sigh\* Fine... I guess they can stay for as long as they need to."*
―Jason and Sarah Bermudez[src]

Jason went to the kitchen, discovering the flyers that Sarah made for his business, dubbed the *Shrekbusters*. Jason then encountered Sarah, who started asking why he and his friends were home from school early. Jason started stammering, unsure how to properly answer the question without telling Sarah that he got expelled. However, Sarah caught on that Jason was lying, proceeding him to tell the truth, much to her shock. Jason then told Sarah his plan to start his own Ogre-exterminating business with Daniel and Alex, who he said were going to stay here.

Sarah became concerned that Jason's friends were now living with them, but Jason convinced Sarah to let them stay, saying they're the only friends he ever had since they moved to Orlando, and hoped to redeem himself after getting them expelled too. Jason then started to explain to Sarah his plan on how the business would work, before concluding that he would need a receptionist. Jason decided to hire Sarah to be the receptionist, and have her work for him in exchange for money, which she agreed to do. Jason then told her his plan to rearrange the living room in order to create an office for Sarah, and a gaming space for the boys. A few minutes later, Jason and Daniel completed setting up their workspaces.

### Responding to Calls

*"Okay, so what now? Wait for a call?"
"Yep! Just gotta wait for a call!"
"Okay, well, that's no happening today so how about--"
"No-no-no, just trust me... just wait..."*
―Sarah Bermudez and Jason[src]

Jason sent Alex to scatter their business flyers throughout town, hoping to instantly get calls right away. However, despite Jason's excitement, Sarah told Jason that it would be unrealistic for people to actually call them immediately during the first day of the business' existence. However, to their surprise, Jason and the group were suddenly called by someone. Daniel picked up the phone and was told by Jason to say "Hello? Shrekbusters?", only for Daniel to realize that it was a prank call, concerning Jason. Sarah then told the boys that no-one would be calling them just yet, so Jason left Sarah in charge of the phone calls while he and his friends went to buy some *Taco Bell*.

### Discussing the Business

*"I just want this to succeed for us, but no-one has ever taken us seriously and I don't think people will start now..."
"Well, not everyone believes in Ogres."
"Yeah... unless we lure one inside their house."
"Yeah, but then that'd be a scam, Jason, and I don't want to run a scam."
"Yeah, yeah, I was just joking..."*
―Jason and Daniel Coleman[src]

That night, Jason, Daniel and Alex returned to the bedroom, where Jason was too concerned about his business' future to the point he hadn't touched his *Taco Bell* once. Jason revealed his worries to his friends, saying that no-one ever took them seriously, and doubted they would start doing that now. Daniel reminded Jason that not everyone believed in Ogres, giving Jason the sarcastic idea to lure one into someone's house to convince them that they're real, but Daniel told Jason that it would then be scam, something he refused to run. Jason then continued to mourn over whether or not this business was the best idea after all, before eventually being told by Sarah that she just got a call from the Gaylord Palms Hotel regarding an Ogre sighting.

### Gaylord Palms Hotel Venture

*"Listen, I hope we can take care of this quietly."
"Yes sir! Consider it done. We do this kind of thing all the time."
"Well it's actually our first time."
"Hey Daniel, can you shut up?"*
―Gaylord Palms Hotel Clerk, Jason Bermudez, and Daniel Coleman[src]

Jason, Daniel and Alex quickly equipped themselves with their Proton Packs and ran outside the Bermudez Residence. Jason checked his phone to realize that the destination was a hotel in Gaylord Palms, which he stated to be a very quirky name. The three decided to take a bus to the hotel, and bypassed Tully Grooberson, who was still locked outside of his house. The three then realized that they went the wrong way, leading them to turn back around, avoiding Tully once more.

Jason and his friends eventually boarded a bus and took a ride to the Gaylord Palms Hotel. Entering the hotel, Jason shouted if anyone had seen an Ogre, before being distracted by Cort, who walked past them. The three were then approached by a hotel clerk, who informed them that they had been receiving complaints about noises coming from the third floor, and told the group to have their operation silent in order to maintain the peace in the hotel. Jason promised to take care of the situation silently, saying that they did this kind of thing all the time. Daniel pitched in, saying this was actually just their first time, but Jason told Daniel to shut up.

The three proceeded to an elevator, where they had a short conversation with a women who was standing nearby. Jason then told her that they were exterminators, and when the woman asked if it was an alligator, Jason said she would wish it was an alligator. Inside the elevator, Daniel realized that they hadn't really tested any of their exterminating equipment yet. However, the group concluded that there was nothing to worry about, and switched their Proton Packs on.

Exiting the elevator, Daniel decided to have the group split up in order to catch the Ogre. Walking down a hallway, Jason eventually came in contact with the Ogre. called Daniel on his phone, telling him that the Ogre was right in front of him. However, the Ogre became triggered as Daniel called it a "vile creature", causing the Ogre to chase Jason through the hallways. Jason continued to scream as he went down the hallways, before eventually reuniting with Daniel.

Jason was asked by Daniel if he was okay, before turning his attention towards an approaching figure. Jason reacted in shock, believing it to be the Ogre, and inadvertently blasted his Proton Gun at Lily Moser, traumatizing her. Lily, struggling to recover from her near-death experience, became absolutely frustrated with Jason, questioning why he was here. Jason explained that he was trying to exterminate an Ogre, much to Lily's irritation. She told Jason she couldn't just start a business where someone goes around shooting people and nearly killing them with a laser gun. Jason then questioned how Lily knew about their business, with Lily stating that they placed a flyer on a stop sign right outside her house, irritating Jason. Lily demanded that Jason and Daniel left the building, otherwise she would be fired, but they were interrupted as Alex called them to alert of the Ogre's presence in a ballroom. Jason and Daniel then left to check out the ballroom, with Lily following them to make sure they weren't getting into more trouble.

### Confronting the Class-V Raysnipe Ogre

*"Look, I'm sorry for this whole mess. But listen, I started this business because their their parents kicked them out after I got them expelled. I just want to make it up to these guys."
"Well, I'm sorry to hear that... really I am! But, I don't think starting this "business" is the best way to make it up to them..."*
―Jason and Lily Moser[src]

Going to the ballroom, Jason apologized for almost electrocuting Lily with his Proton Gun, saying he only started his business because they got expelled from school. Jason stated that he just wanted to make it up to Daniel and Alex for getting them kicked out as well. However, Lily doubted that the business was the best way to make things up for them. Jason went towards the buffet where Alex had located the Ogre. He explained to the group that they couldn't have any open cuts or wounds, or otherwise, it would be possible for their DNA to be altered with that of the Ogres, turning themselves into Ogres. He then mentioned not to cross the streams of their Proton Guns, otherwise Jason would explode. Jason told Daniel and Alex to go on either side of the buffet while Jason stood in the middle. However, Lily refused to let the boys do any more damage with the Proton Guns.

Lily was then told that there was an Ogre literally behind the buffet and that they had to exterminate it, but Lily continued to disbelieve in Ogres, saying it was probably just a rat behind there instead. However, as Lily went to check for herself, she discovered the Ogre as it emerged from its hiding spot. Jason then panicked and started shooting it, causing the Ogre to be blasted up to a chandelier light. Daniel blasted the Ogre back down to the floor and started stabilizing it. Alex then told Jason to shoot another laserbeam at the Ogre from his perspective. With the Ogre now in place, Alex deployed the Ogre Trap, with both Jason and Daniel turning off their beams just as the trap opened and sucked the Ogre into it. Jason and the group became surprised, yet satisfied with the work that was done.

Jason and the *Shrekbusters* walked out the ballroom doors to inform the Gaylord Palms Hotel clerk that they had successfully captured a Class-V Raysnipe Ogre. Jason then calculated that the clerk owed them five grand, much to his shock. The clerk refused, but Jason however threatened to put the Ogre back where they found it if he didn't give them the money, leading the clerk to reluctantly write them a check in the front office. Satisfied, Jason said goodbye to Lily, and told her to have fun at graduation. However, due to Lily's involvement in the incident, she was ultimately fired.

### Return Home

*"What a heck of a day! We went from drop outs, to starting a business, to making five grand in one day!"*
―Jason to the *Shrekbusters*[src]

The *Shrekbusters* eventually returned home, where Jason became extremely surprised with their business work, and how they instantly went from being school drop outs to professional exterminators. However, Daniel told Jason not to call themselves that, still sore over the fact they got expelled. However, Jason prevailed to cheer Daniel up by offering to play with him on the *PlayStation 4*, but both Daniel and Alex decided to go to sleep. Jason then prevailed to stay up and play video games all night, before eventually falling asleep on his bed.

### Setting up the Ogre Containment Unit

*"What's the whole deal with the containment unit being "perfected" on my wall?"
"The containment unit we engineered at the school was still under development. If we're not careful, the containment unit could unstabilize, potentially causing a catastrophic explosion."*
―Jason and Alex Rainsford[src]

Waking up the next morning, Jason went into the kitchen, drinking milk straight from the milk carton. He then encountered Daniel, who was in the living room attaching the Ogre Containment Unit to one of the walls. Unamused, Jason asked Daniel what he was doing, but Daniel asked Jason if he just drank milk straight from the carton. Jason told Daniel it was his house, before being explained that Daniel bought some technological supplies for the containment unit, and that he used the five grand they were earned to pay for them, irritating Jason.

Daniel however, told Jason that he didn't use all of it to buy the supplies, and that the rest was used to buy groceries. Daniel told Jason they needed to perfect the containment unit, or otherwise, it would explode and unleash all the imprisoned Ogres inside it. Jason then asked Alex for more specific information regarding the containment unit being perfected, with Alex stating that they had to do it on Jason's wall due to the one he engineered at school being still under development. He warned Jason of the potential risks that would happen if the containment unit were to be unstabilized, much to his confusion.

### Recruiting Lily

*"Is that okay with you or are you guys not accepting...?"
"Me? Oh, no--no I'm fine with you joining in... we all are. But... what about your job at the hotel?"
"After your little incident, they fired me. But it's fine. I think hunting Ogres will a better Summer job anyway. Plus, it pays more!"*
―Lily Moser and Jason[src]

Suddenly, Jason heard a knock coming from the front door of the house and answered it, only to be shocked as he saw Lily standing in the doorway. Lily questioned if Jason was hiring, stating that she came to the Bermudez Residence to tell him her plans on joining, having lost her previous job at the hotel. Jason decided to bring Lily on board to join the *Shrekbusters*, and invited her inside to talk. Walking back into the kitchen, both Daniel and Alex became surprised to see Lily next to him, and sarcastically asked if he was going on a date with her. However, Jason obnoxiously told Daniel to shut up, and that she was here to help them. Lily then provided the boys with some old janitor uniforms to be their outfits, and her truck to act as their primary mode of transportation.

The *Shrekbusters* were suddenly informed by Sarah that she just got a call from the Orlando Orange County Center. Jason and his friends quickly proceeded to the newly-established Shrekbusters Truck, but before Jason could enter, Sarah told him that she told their mother about the business. Jason became displeased with Sarah for snitching, but Sarah told Jason that she was fine with it as long as he didn't blow up the house. Jason promised he wouldn't, and left alongside his friends.

### Crashing the Concert

*"Alright, well, we know it's down here somewhere. I say we split up like we always do. Make sure to get on the radio if you see anything."*
―Jason to the *Shrekbusters*[src]

The *Shrekbusters*, consisting of Jason Bermudez, Daniel Coleman, Alex Rainsford and Lily Moser, all arrived at the Orlando Orange County Center, and entered the building. There, they met the businessman who called them, where he asked if they were the *Shrekbusters*. Jason sarcastically said they were the *Justice League*, before telling the businessman that they were indeed the *Shrekbusters*, making him concerned. The *Shrekbusters* followed the businessman downstairs to where he stated the trouble was coming from, and left Jason and his friends to work. Investigating the rooms, Jason, Daniel, and Alex entered a storage room completely covered in Ogre Slime. They suddenly reunited with Lily as she ran into the room and shut the door behind her, inadvertently bringing an Ogre with her. The team waited until Jason presumed the Ogre was gone, only for it to bring down the door. However, Jason and the group fired the Proton Guns at the Ogre, making it flee.

The *Shrekbusters* followed the Ogre back to the stairs, where it grew wings and flew through a supernatural portal to a concert stage. Jason became absolutely shocked by the fact the Ogre could fly, before eventually making it back upstairs and crashing the concert during a performance, in an attempt to electrocute and stabilize the Ogre. Jason desperately told the crowd to move out of the way, before being suddenly attacked by the flying Ogre. However, he was saved as Lily managed to capture it with her Proton Gun. Jason then deployed the Ogre Trap, successfully containing it. The crowd cheered, and Lily became satisfied that she captured her first Ogre. She then hugged Jason on stage, before Jason turned around to tell the performers that the commotion weren't effects, and that they captured a real live Ogre.

### Provoking Business

*"24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No job is too big, no fee is too big!"*
―Jason[src]

The *Shrekbusters* became prominently mainstream during the next few weeks of their Ogre-exterminating operations, being presented in several articles and news reports that either concluded that the *Shrekbusters* were fake, or that these Ogre sightings would result in an upcoming Ogre invasion. During his work as a professional Ogre exterminator, Jason accompanied Daniel on a mission to a Japanese restaurant, before encountering another Ogre at the beach, alongside Lily. As Jason deployed the Ogre Trap on the Ogre, he became disgusted by the smell of it. Jason eventually went to Universal Studios Florida alongside Daniel and Alex, before being interviewed by several news reporters. There, he claimed that their business ran 24 hours a day, seven days a week, that no job was too big and that no fee was too big.

### Comforting Lily

*"I'm done with my story. Now you have to explain yours..."
"I... I saw a side of him I didn't think existed..."
"Well, wasn't it obvious? Like, you know, every time he picked on me?"
"Look-- I'll admit he was a jerk from time to time, but... I never anticipated him being capable of hurting... someone... He got jealous after he figured out I work with you... and he threatened to hurt me..."
"Well, you're more than welcome to spend the night here. I can even stay here if you like, help you feel safe."*
―Jason and Lily Moser[src]

Over a month after the *Shrekbusters* were initially established, Jason accompanied Lily as she left the Bermudez Residence to have a date with Raymond Floyd, having not seen him in a long time. Jason asked Lily if he ever wanted to go out with him sometime, with Lily stating that she would love to, as friends. Lily then left, with Jason hoping to see her soon. However, during her date with Ray, Lily was threatened by her boyfriend, who demanded Lily to drop out of the *Shrekbusters*, believing them to be nothing but a scam, and to stop spending more time with Jason, or otherwise, he would hurt her. Lily eventually returned to the Bermudez Residence to tell Jason about her situation with Ray, and Jason decided to let Lily stay at his place for the night, hoping to keep her safe.

Positioning themselves on a couch in the living room, Lily asked about Jason's history with Ray, knowing that they had a tough history. Jason explained how he encountered him, DeAndre and Luis during middle school, and how he tried to ditch school for the rest of the week in order to hide from them. Lily then explained to Jason the reason she stuck with Ray was because she saw a side to him she didn't think existed. She then asked Jason what made him believe in Ogres, to which Jason explained it happened immediately after his first encounter with Ray, and how he was the only one who truly believed in Ogres, until Daniel and Alex came along. The two then started asking each other what they were planning on doing in the future, with Jason explaining he would continue to maintain the *Shrekbusters* due to the business' current successful status, while Lily thought of entering law school. Jason revealed that he truly felt embarrassed talking with Lily, worried she would think he was weird, but said that she liked that about him. Lily then went to sleep, surprising Jason as he referred to him as her new date.

### Raymond Floyd's Visit

*"HEY! Leave her alone! She wants nothing to do with you anymore!"
"Back off, pencil-neck. Unless you wanna get hurt..."
"The only one who's going to get hurt is you... if you don't leave my house!"*
―Jason and Raymond Floyd[src]

The next morning, Jason went into the living room to play video games on his *PlayStation 4*. Overhearing Lily and Alex talking, Jason was told by Lily that they would eventually need to update the Ogre Containment Unit to avoid it from overflowing with imprisoned Ogres. Suddenly, Daniel concerningly told Jason there was someone at the door, but Jason became very shocked to realize that the visitor was Raymond Floyd, who returned to get his revenge on Lily for betraying him. Jason walked up the stairs and told Ray to get out of his house, saying Lily didn't want anything to do with him anymore.

Ray went berserk and started hitting Jason, but Daniel knocked him down the stairs. Jason and Daniel continued to fight Ray, pressing him towards the wall, but Ray broke free, and threw Jason at the Ogre Containment Unit, breaking it. As the containment unit started wailing sirens, Jason and the other inhabitants of the Bermudez Residence quickly escaped, just before the house exploded into pieces. The group were then approached by the police, who demanded answers to what happened. Ray told the officers that the explosion was caused by Jason, who was plotting something in his house, resulting in Jason to become completely frustrated and brutally attack him, threatening to tear his head off. However, the officers broke up their fight and had them arrested.

### Prison Time

*"I felt bad for getting you expelled. I did, but that's in the past! There is a world-ending crisis and we can't solve it without you!"
"You told me I had nothing to worry about, that I'd be fine, that I wouldn't regret this."
"Alright fine, I'm sorry! Is that what you want to hear?! I'm sorry, man! I'm sorry for screwing up your future. You're one of my only, closest friends, but I need you to let go of that and focus on this! Daniel, please... I really care about you, man. I know you might not believe me, but I do. That's why I started all of this Ogre busting stuff... to make things right, to make a living out of something we're all passionate about... But right now, we need you."
"\*sigh\* You're one of my best friends too, Jason..."*
―Jason Bermudez and Daniel Coleman[src]

Brought in for the destruction of the Bermudez Residence, Jason was placed in a prison cell alongside Daniel and Alex. Daniel and Alex became completely stressed out by the destruction of the Ogre Containment Unit, with Alex explaining that the destruction caused a portal to the Ogre Dimension to be formed. He stated that the portal would result in billions of different types of Ogres to cross over into the human world, placing Orlando in a massive turmoil. He then feared that this would result in the arrival of Shrek, the overlord of the Ogres. Jason became surprised to discover that Shrek was real, having always assumed he was just a character from a movie. However, Alex confirmed that Shrek was truly real, but became clueless on how to solve the Ogre invasion.

Jason started to quickly develop idea on how to stop the Ogres from destroying everything, and proposed to turn the portal to the Ogre Dimension into a trap. Alex became intrigued with this idea, and told them it was possible they could turn the portal into an enlarged Ogre Trap by crossing the streams, but that there would be a slim chance of surviving. Daniel refused to partake in this idea, as he became completely frustrated at Jason for dragging them into this mess in the first place, and didn't feel like it was worth it to sacrifice himself for a plan that may not work. Jason told Daniel that he truly felt bad that he got him expelled from school, but told Daniel that was in the past and that they needed his help to save the world.

Jason then apologized to Daniel for screwing with his future, saying that he needed to let go of that and focus on the crisis. He explained that was why he started the *Shrekbusters*, so he could make things right, but that he needed his full cooperation. Daniel ultimately decided to put aside his future to help Jason and Alex save the world, saying that he was his best friend and that they couldn't change the past. The group were suddenly released from prison by Officer White, who said that Mayor Buddy wanted to have a meeting with them. Reuniting with Lily and Sarah, Jason filled Lily in on Alex's plan to turn the Ogre Dimension portal into a giant trap, telling her of the slim chances they have at surviving.

### Visiting Mayor Buddy

*"Your honor, first, can I just say that I speak for all of us here... except for that asshole... that we're absolutely amazed to meet you in person, and that we would 100% vote for you in the next elections."
"Thank you, but move it along. I don't need you to patronize me..."*
―Jason and Mayor Buddy[src]

Entering Mayor Buddy's office, Jason and the *Shrekbusters* reluctantly reunited with Raymond Floyd, who continued to blame the *Shrekbusters* for the mess Orlando was in. Jason and Ray continued to fight each other, but their fight was stopped by Mayor Buddy, who demanded answers to what was going on. Jason tried to patronize the Mayor by telling him they would definitely vote for him in the next election, but Mayor Buddy told Jason to get to the point. After Daniel filled Mayor Buddy in on the destruction of the Ogre Containment Unit, Jason explained to the Mayor their plan to turn the Ogre Dimension portal into a trap to suck all the Ogres back in. Mayor Buddy decided to go with the idea, promising to give Jason several tanks to help them take down Shrek.

### Ogre Invasion

*"Each of us will have to fire a protonic stream to the portal, and very carefully connect our streams together."
"Well, that seems easy enough..."*
―Alex Rainsford and Jason[src]

Putting back on their Proton Packs and equipped with their Proton Guns, the *Shrekbusters* went outside to get to work. Jason approached Sergeant McDell, and asked if he could fire one of his tanks before they all died, only to be interrupted by the sudden arrival of Shrek. Jason fired his Proton Gun at Shrek in an attempt to electrocute and kill him, but Shrek made eye contact with Jason and refused to let him escape. Jason jumped into the back of the Shrekbusters Truck and told Daniel to start driving away from Shrek, but they stopped as they came across DeAndre's Car, being constantly attacked by several Ogres. Jason blasted streams at the Ogres, making them flee, only to discover that he had inadvertently saved Tully, who DeAndre and Luis had kidnapped. Jason reluctantly saved Tully's life and brought him back to their neighborhood. Jason then told Tully to stay inside the car, as he and the other *Shrekbusters* reunited right in front of the portal.

The *Shrekbusters* started firing single streams at the portal to the Ogre Dimension, before being instructed by Alex to begin intersecting them. The group intersected the streams as they were told, but thankfully, they survived as the portal successfully reverted its functions. Lying on the road, Jason went towards Lily to see if she was alright, only to be hit by a police car. Jason was approached by Raymond Floyd, who escaped prison and attempted to kill him once and for all. However, Ray was blasted by Lily's Proton Gun, causing him to be electrocuted, and fell into the portal to his doom. Lily accompanied Jason and got him back up on his feet, before realizing that Alex's plan worked, with the portal starting to suck all the Ogres back into it. However, the victory stopped as the group remembered that Shrek was still active.

### Fighting Shrek

*"That's insane! You can't expect that to work!"
"Well I don't have any better ideas and that portal is gonna close any second now!"
"No! I... please... Think about what you're doing... you're going to die!"
"Lily, either we go with this plan, or we let this monster stay in our world... I'm going in. I'll be right back, okay? I promise..."*
―Lily Moser and Jason[src]

Shrek started to hold onto the side of a house to prevent himself from being sucked into the portal, leading Jason to quickly develop the idea to fire another Proton Gun stream at Shrek, hoping to have Shrek follow him into the Ogre Dimension portal. However, Lily became concerned with Jason's plan, and even after he told her his idea to strap himself to a firehose and have him pulled back up after Shrek descended, Lily refused to let Jason do it, saying he could die. Jason told Lily they had to do it, or otherwise Shrek would permanently remain on Earth forever.

Jason ran up to Shrek and blasted him with another stream. He then ran towards the firehose, but couldn't get in unstuck in time. Jason ultimately went into the Ogre Dimension portal without it, successfully bringing Shrek into it along with him. Lily, shocked that Jason didn't attach himself to the firehose, attached herself to it and went through the portal herself.

### Venture to the Ogre Dimension

*"You came back for me..."
"I couldn't let you die... I... love you..."
"I... love you too..."*
―Jason Bermudez and Lily Moser[src]

Falling through the Ogre Dimension portal, Jason was rescued by Lily, who grabbed him before he could die. Both Jason and Lily observed Shrek as he disappeared. Jason become surprised that Lily came back for him. Lily said that she couldn't let him die, saying that she loved him. Both Daniel and Alex pulled Lily and Jason out of there, just before the portal fully closed. Having survived the day, Jason thanks Lily for rescuing him and decided to sit down and relax for a moment. However, the relaxation session was interrupted by Tully, much to Jason's annoyance.

### Returning to Business

*"You know... This whole Shrekbusters-thing has been pretty crazy, and... I can't be more grateful than not to have you been part of it... I... can't stop thinking about this... but... did you... really mean what you said... back when we were in... you know..."
"Yeah..."*
―Jason and Lily[src]

Due to the destruction of the Bermudez Residence, Jason, Daniel, Alex and Sarah ultimately had to crash at several motels scattered throughout Orlando. Eventually, the group reunited with Lily at a sports bar, with Jason still sore they couldn't get any credibility for saving the world, otherwise their private lives would be endangered. The group were suddenly approached by Andrew Walsh, a subordinate of Mayor Buddy who told the *Shrekbusters* that he had a surprise for them, just 10 minutes from where they were.

Travelling to where Mayor Buddy was, the *Shrekbusters* became surprised to see that he had given them an Orlando Firehouse to act as their new headquarters. Mayor Buddy then told the *Shrekbusters* that from now on, they would be protected by the city of Orlando, and that the rent for the Firehouse would come with a free two-year trial. Jason reconciled with Lily, who revealed that she truly meant what she said back when they were in the Ogre Dimension, before sharing a kiss. They were then approached by Mayor Buddy, who told them that there was one last surprise for them.

### Graduation

*"Well, congrats ya dork! You finally got your diploma! Just took a few months of saving the world!"
"You know what? Thanks Jason... for a lot of things..."*
―Jason and Daniel[src]

As a reward for protecting the city of Orlando, Mayor Buddy held an official graduation ceremony for Jason, Daniel and Alex. After receiving their diplomas, Jason talked with Daniel, and congratulated him for finally graduating. Daniel thanks Jason, but starts to feel a bit disappointed that his Dad wasn't there to see him. However, the group were suddenly approached by Mr. Coleman, who came to reconcile with his son, proud of him for saving the city. Both Jason and Lily reacted in shock, noticing how similar Daniel's Dad looked.
