Army Sharon?

Unending BE - episode 31012

The post looked ordinary green plastic and it was empty, save for a tiny package (army green too, of course). For want of any other thing to possibly do, Sharon walked to the guard post and opened the package. Inside was a green plastic uniform, a helmet, and a disassembled machine gun. Along with all of that came a note, apparently carved on a small sheet of plastic (the uniform green was beginning to annoy Sharon a little, but she could manage to read). 
Dear Reinforcement,

 IT WAS JUST ABOUT TIME THEY SENT YOU!!! 
Now get in your uniform and get moving!
We will fetch you at the post within minutes.

Sharon wondered what kind of whacked experiment was that, but since she lacked any garment of any sort, she figured out that a plastic army uniform was better than nothing. To her surprise, the clothes were complete in every part, although most of the details (like the buttons) were just roughly outlined. When she buttoned the jacket, the edges seemed to melt into a single layer on her chest. Worried that this was some kind of constraint device, Sharon tried to remove the garment to find out that to do so she just had to touch the buttons. To her surprise, the same was true for the automatic rifle -- as long as she put two pieces next to the other they would melt into one, provided that they were in the right position in respect to one another. Thanks to this bizarre twist in the laws of physics, Sharon was able to mount her gun in minutes.

Even without a mirror to admire herself in, Sharon could easily guess that to the casual observer she could have passed for a plastic army man -- if she stood still. The note said that someone was going to come by... I wonder who and when?" Sharon thought after having fired a bullet in the air by mistake. The fact that the rifle worked perfectly didn't shock her more than the rest of the whole setting.

Just then, Sharon could spot some figures about her size approaching the post. She could see that they were....

  1. *...four men from the Green army in an echelon formation.
  2. *...two men from the Tan army, advancing with caution.
  3. Brick Bazooka and Link Static from the Commando Elite.
