## Plot

The episode starts with a robot monitoring Gamma’s every move as he starts to close in on his next destination, Japan. The robot in question is E-120 Phi, the prototype of all the Phi Troopers Gamma had been fighting until this point.

Meanwhile, Gamma and Daisy land in Japan. The Flicky mentions that as Tokyo is one of the busiest cities in the world, they have to stay on the outskirts of the city to not draw attention. The two get a reading that Phi is somewhere toward the east, so Gamma flies in that direction. Phi is still watching from a monitor and when Gamma is looking around, three Phi Troopers leap in out of nowhere. The trio are no ordinary troopers and they manage to attack Gamma with their speed - the blue one - strength - the red one, and agility - yellow one. The red one bowls Gamma over with the other two and the trio use a Phi Lancer each to bring Gamma down so they can take him to their leader.

Gamma is brought to Phi’s lair, where he comes back online. Phi deems Gamma a traitor as he’s taken out a lot of Phi Troopers when he was out on his quest. Gamma tries to tell Phi that Eggman has been using him and he attempts to liberate him by turning into Chaos Gamma. The robots get into a fight and Phi claims he plans to usurp Eggman by biding his time by letting Eggman think he’s on his side. Gamma tries to point out that Phi is as much of a traitor as he is, but, Phi thinks he’s different because he’s “subtle” about it. The two try to attack each other with Solid Knuckle, but, the impact sends them both backwards instead. Phi then tries to use Electric Stab to impale Gamma, but, he uses Guard Mode to block the attack. Phi then uses Paralyze Cut, which shocks Gamma. At first, Blue Speed Model is impressed, but, the Red Power and Yellow Fly Models see that Gamma has a point. With this in mind, the trio set about to destroy the machine that Phi uses to make Phi Troopers, much to his shock. They then use their Phi Lancers against Phi's machine, much to Gamma’s amazement. Taking advantage of Phi’s shock, Gamma deletes Eggman’s programing from Phi and a Mobini Rabbit hops out before squeaking gratefully and hopping away.

The Troopers decide to help Gamma finish off his mission by tracking down the last two E-100-Series. Their next target is E-121 Chi.

Back at the Mobini Ranch, Amy and Manic are tending to the Mobinis when the rabbit shows up. Amy identifies the rabbit as a girl and there’s only two left. Amy still feels worried for Gamma as the episode ends.

## Trivia

* The beginning of the episode has Brandon and Blake mention that the date of Gamma’s battle against Phi occurs on March 8th, five days after Upsilon’s defeat.
