Episode 2x02: High Code
Show opens with some sort of creepy alien thing that is right in the middle of the core.
Bob's looking for something. He's working on his car.
The alien escapes and Bob stops mid-movement - he senses it. The weird alien finds Fawng and demands to see someone called "Talon". Fawng tries to escape, but the alien freezes him.
Enzo breaks into Pearson's (the guy who manages the dump) private stash. He finds a stablizer for his aircart or whatever, a long, pole-like thing.
Suddenly, alien thing appears on all the vidscreens. He wants Talon, or he will damage mainframe.
Bob and Dot find him and reveal he is a Codemaster, from the net, whatever. They demand he release Fawng. He complies but attacks Bob when he says Talon isn't here, freezing Glitch in the process. He begins to destroy Mainframe sector-by-sector.
Dot contacts Megabyte! She wants his transport, but MB says "nope".
Fawng checks out Glitch and reveals the lock on it can only be removed by a Codemaster.
Later, Fawng reveals Codemasters delete and destroy whatever they are paid to. He then says Talon was harboured here and changed his identity. Talon still LIVES in Mainframe?! Cool.
Enzo eavesdrops on the conversation. He sees the weapon the Codemaster uses and gets an idea. He heads to Pearson's and says Pearson is Talon, and the thing he found before is his old weapon.
Pearson refuses to step up and Enzo leaves angrily. The alien leaves.
Meanwhile, Bob attacks him and is caught, but a game arrives. Bob taunts the codemaster by saying it contains a power greater than his, and they head inside.
According to Fawng, Bob's plan is to lose on purpose and nullify the stranger - but also to nullify HIMSELF. Whoa.
Bob gets the lock removed by the Codemaster, then reboots as a Cowboy in this wild-west style game. The Codemaster and Bob jump on the train the user is on, and start trying to beat the user to the next station. The user gets to the front of the train and uses a hammer to release all the other carriages, including Bob and the Codemasters'. With a mile left before the station, Bob starts to say "man, I'm gonna miss these games..." suddenly, we hear Enzo! He is on the front of the train with the user, tied up, and will be nullified too!
With a 1/4 mile left, Bob lassos onto the front cartridge, unties Enzo and wins the game. Bob is mad at Enzo but Enzo cuts him off - Pearson appears, and so does the Codemaster! Pearson is carrying his weapon. Enzo tells Bob that's why he entered the game.
They face-off, wild-west style...Pearson then breaks his weapon and says he's not a Codemaster anymore. The Codemaster says "f*** that, once a Codemaster, always a Codemaster", and begins to grow! He causes a paradigm shift in Mainframe (basically the sky goes all funky, w/e).
Codemaster is about to crush Pearson when Bob, Dot and Enzo gets in the way. The codemaster then says "I have never seen such...honour!" and then leaves. Oh. Alright.
Rating: 6/10
Codemaster was a kickass villain, but that ending kind of sucked.
