## Plot

This episode starts with Gamma and Daisy landing in Scotland to try and find the next E-100-Series robot. They detect him somewhere nearby and Daisy tells Gamma that their target has drones to feed him information while he's hidden. Gamma reaches a tunnel and guesses that their target is in there. Daisy recommends a safe distance between himself and Rho and Gamma agrees as they head underground.

As the two travelled further underground, Gamma switches his lights and realized that if the tunnel was ongoing like this, it could be a trap. Suddenly, multiple Chaos Gamma-lookalike robots in grayscale are found. He and Daisy realize they are Guard Robos and Gamma activates his Guard Mode just in time for the Guard Robos to try and attack Gamma with bombs shot by Blinkers. Gamma tries to warn the robos that doing that will destroy the tunnels, but, Rho tells him that was the point and that the Guard Robos have all the moves Gamma has in his Chaos Gamma form. Gamma tells Rho he's taken on multiple Phi Troopers at once in previous battles and he can think of new strategies to take them down. Rho retorts that the Guard Robos won't allow him to escape and he should give up. Daisy quickly tells Gamma to escape with his Buster Drills, and he makes several tunnels in his retreat.

While in hiding, Gamma and Daisy conclude that the Guard Robos have the same abilities as his Chaos Gamma form, but, they don't have free will. On top of that, they don't have the abilities Gamma has in his regular form and Gamma can fight from a distance in his regular form, too. With that, Gamma transforms and takes out the robos with homing missiles one by one.

With the robos all gone, Gamma goes to face Rho. Rho tries to dig his Rho Fangs into Gamma, but, his smaller size gives him an advantage in mobility. Rho eventually catches Gamma in his mouth, only for Gamma to forcefully keep it open. He then fires at some wires in Rho's mouth to keep his mouth open, causing the snake robot to yell in pain. He takes a fang out and drills it into Rho, reprogramming him, releasing a Mobini Deer in the process. She bleats gratefully and leaps away. Gamma and Daisy leave the carven to find their next target: E-117 Sigma.

At the Thorndyke Mansion, Amy is tending to the Mobinis when the deer arrives. Manic realizes Gamma rescued it and Cream comments that she's pretty. Amy explains the deer increases the Chao's Run stat and Manic also realized that the Chao learn to draw from them, too. Cream hopes to see a demonstration of that sometime as the episode ends.

## Trivia
