So I had to write this post eventually. E-102 Gamma is a robot from the game Sonic Adventure. Not only is he my favorite video game character of all time, but he also as an amazing story and has led me to the only time I have ever cried during a video game. Sonic Team has not had a really good Sonic game since this one and it's obvious why; they are not bringing E-102 back. This post is a tribute to the best video game character ever with a pictures, music, cutscenes, and a typed retelling of his story. R.I.P. E-102! :(
This is E-102. The music is this game is so good, and E-102 is no exception.
The final battle against his Brother, E-101 Beta, also has an excellent Jazz style boss battle song.
(That I listen too on a regular basis! XD)
But here is his story.
His story starts out as being a robot working for Dr. Robotnik, which Robotnik created. E-102 is powered inside by a bird with an amulet containing some power of a Chaos Emerald. E-102 is put to the test by Eggman, having to fight his older brother, E-101 Beta.
Robotnik puts his money on E-102's brother Beta, the older more advanced robot, but gives E-102 a chance. He says whoever wins gets to serve him aboard his giant ship, the Egg Carrier. E-102 actually wins. His brother, E-101 Beta, wants to come along too, so instead of throwing him away, he agrees to use Beta for spare parts.....
E-102 then meets up with the other robots on Eggmans crew: E-103, E-104, and E-105. Eggman explains there mission: Obtain this special frog owned by Big the Cat, which has a chaos emerald inside.
*Watch It*
E-102 then steals the frog from Big. After that... a strange Aura surrounds him and he is teleported to the past. He can't figure out where he is and walks the shrine in front of him. There are a bunch of Chao(little guys you can take care of and grow in the game) singing. He meets Tikal, who tries to stop him from getting near the Chao. Once Tikal realizes he isn't going to hurt them, she explains that there Guardian, Chaos, is so nice and protects the Chao, but that her father wants to take there scared land(which explains why Chaos takes rampage over the world later). After that, he is teleported back. Confused, he just decides to go back to the Egg Carrier with the frog. All of the Robots are there, but they all got the wrong frog, except for Gamma. Gamma then has to watch as Robitnik calls his friends useless and teleports them all away. So he praises Gamma and gives him another mission. He's got a girl, Amy Rose, in a Jail cell. She has a bird, and he just has to take it from her. However, he goes into the wrong door.....
He walks in, and sees parts of his brother on the floor. He then looks up... and sees his brother being picked apart and rebuilt as something else.
"BETA?!" he exclaims. Terrified, he walks out.
*Watch It*
E-102 goes to get the bird from Amy... but she wont give it too him. She asks him why he wants it, but he doesn't even know. She asks him to help them instead. He is shaking, confused. He can't understand why she would want to keep the bird when it is of no use to her. The bird then flies out of Amy's hands right to E-102. He looks at it, and Amy says she feels sorry for E-102, then Robotnik didn't program E-102 with feelings. Confused but beginning to understand, he brakes starts to brake free of Eggmans programming, lets Amy go, and warns her to escape as soon as possible. Surprised, Amy tells him that he's not like the other Robots, is nice inside, and promises to be his friend. This is such a good scene.
*Watch It*
After Amy slips away, E-102 goes back to the main room of the ship. The Egg Carrier is losing altitude and Eggman tells E-102 to grab some upgraded parts for battle and meet him outside on the deck of the ship. Sonic is out there, and Robotnik commands E-102 to destroy Sonic. They fight, and getting ready to blow Sonic away, Amy stops him. She asks him to stop, and tells him how awful Eggman is and to join up with them. She tells him it's dangerous here and to escape. "Why do you help me?" He says confused. She reminded him that they are friends now. They parts ways to escape the ship. E-102 pictures Eggman, Beta, and his other E-Series friends. He realizes that Eggman is the Enemy, Beta, Amy, and the E-Series are his friends and deletes his master registry to start thinking on his own instead of for Eggman. He then decides that he must save E-103-105. But due to there programming, the only way he can save them from being Dr. Robotnik's slave is by destroying them.
*Watch It*
After "saving" E-103 and 104, he realizes 105 is probably aboard Eggmans rebuilt Egg Carrier. After saving him, he pictures his brother being destroyed from when he saw him in that room earlier, so E-102 thinks he's the only one left. All of a sudden though, he sees his brother fly over him, huge, and rebuilt. "Beta..." he says.
*Watch It*
He runs to his brother hoping to save him as well. But the brother, sadly, wants to destroy E-102 just as badly. He wants revenge for being destroyed and used as spare parts! They fight and E-102 defeats his brother. Upset, he goes to take a final look at his fallen brother, who gets up and blasts E-102 back before finally dying himself. The father bird (of the one Amy has) is release from Beta. E-102 was happy now though, putting his mission before his life and being successful. He is hurt so badly from his brothers final blast, and realizes he is going to die. He somehow gets a mysterious picture in his head of the family of birds together. After that final picture, he kneels down and dies, releasing the mother bird from himself so that the family can be together again.....
The End.
