Episode 2
If Galvatron died, Will could log on as Sita Moon, but he couldn’t remember exactly where in the world she’d last saved, and it could take a week of game time or more before Sita Moon could cover the distance between her and StarScream. That was plenty of time for the Pisceans to get between them.
The Pisceans were an obnoxious group of players that tasked themselves with keeping Fantasy and Sci-Fi games separate. A ship called the Grimlox had attacked Galvatron and StarScream when they approached the planet, sending Galvatron into his present free-fall. The Grimlox’s pilot was undoubtedly a Piscean, and that would mean his friends on the ground already knew Sci Fi characters had breached restricted space.
What Will didn’t count on was the Grimlox chasing Galvatron down to the planet’s atmosphere. Even when he could keep his command menu open, Galvatron could not change to space ship form, which was Will’s only chance to correct his situation. This was close to impossible with the Grimlox firing missiles from above. Will turned Galvatron into the spin and fired into the air with the laser cannon that served as his right arm. He tapped the trigger on his joystick repeatedly to keep the cannon firing as fast as it could charge.. Will didn’t even bother to target. If he could at least put the Grimlox on the defensive, Galvatron may be able to get control of his descent.
StarScream rocketed past Galvatron, arms retracted to create a cybernetic snake that smashed full speed into the Grimlox. The explosion was so big it momentarily lagged the animation, making it falter and flash on Will’s computer screen.
