Training Madness

**Training Madness** is the ninth episode of Season 1 of the Neo Alliance series.

## Synopsis

Eyes, Sora and Swordatta are assigned to a mission to investigate a scam from a gym. The gym said it promises to teach you tons of new moves—without lifting a finger! Swordatta thinks it sounds too good to be true... and it is. But exposing the truth draws the ire of the camp's director—and half the participants.

## Plot

Neo Alliance are packing up to go on separate missions they have been assigned. However, Eyes stays back as he had no family. Sora and Swordatta decides to accompany Eyes, as well as look out for Legion of Horus activity. A senator from the World of Magic called Neo Alliance to discuss a scam operation. A Wizard got repeatedly exhausted, passing out in the middle of Diagon Alley. They got confused, but more information came. This kind of thing is also happening to others from different worlds. The one thing they all have in common is that they all is that they all went to a place called Mad Gym. Eyes takes the investigation and takes Sora and Swordatta along.

When the trio arrives at the Mad Gym, they meet three other guests, Voltack, a Wolf. Sringe, a Dragon and Anuck, a Sand Person seeking to get stronger so she can crush her brother in their duels at sparring. A Wizard named Sergeant Mad arrives and tells the guests to sit back and relax while he prepares the potion. As a demonstration, Voltack volunteers himself to receive the potion. Once given, Voltack is able to move faster than average and received better agility at an obstacle course. Everyone takes the potion to be trained except Eyes, who is still skeptical.

After training, Sergeant Mad ends the training for today and starts a sparring to see the results of their training. He had Eyes and Sringe duel, Sringe uses his wings to fly and Eyes uses Fireball Multishot. But Sringe was too fast after taking the potion and managed to beat Eyes. Sergeant Mad walks over to Sringe and asks Eyes if he is still skeptical about the training. Next they had Sora and Voltack duel with Sora ended up losing. Next was Swordatta and Anuck, however, Swordatta was victorious.

The next morning, Sergeant Mad gives the guests another round to the potion, this time Eyes and Sora took one potion only except Swordatta. They dueled again this time everyone got exhausted except Swordatta. Sergeant Mad gets angry at the robot.

Later at the buffet, Swordatta tells the others what happened and tells them the potion has side effects and that Sergeant Mad is hiding something. The other guests all think Swordatta is wrong and say that the potion is good. Sora then tells Eyes that maybe something was going on, but they still had to see it through due to the investigation they have been given. Sora reveals they will finish the camp in a few hours, and that they should wait until then and keep an eye on Mad and his henchmen. Eyes gets up and walks out of the room, saying he is going to find out what Sergeant Mad is up to.

He uses Flare Blast at some rocks, which explode, surprising Eyes with his power. Later after a few seconds Eyes gets exhausted and wonders what's going on. A man behind him says that's it's all a scam. Eyes turns around and sees the a man with others looking exhausted. After showing Eyes the current status of his family, the man says the potion makes people crazy. When Eyes asks how, he tells him says the potion gets people pumped and fired up, but they collapse after a few moves or one powerful attack, and you have to pay for another round. Sergeant Mad calls it 'progress', and his henchman look fine, but they're always drinking the potion everyday. Eyes says that's just what he needed to hear.

The Sergeant is now handing the potions back to the guests when Eyes confronts him about ripping the customers off. He tells the people what he heard and that they will have to keep coming back to Mad Gym to keep them strong. The other guests reply that they like going there and why should Eyes care. He replies saying he cares when it hurts cilvilians and that someone will eventually get hurt because of this and that isn't good. The Sergeant says that Eyes may be a Neo Alliance member, but he's bad for business and has the other guests attack Eyes with their improved powers and abilities. Sora and Swordatta runs over to Eyes and say they got his back, to which Eyes replies saying it's not his back he's worried about, and glances at the everyone, all of which have tried the potion, all except Swordatta.

Eyes tries one last time to convince the other 3 guests not to use their powers, but they decline, and the duel begins. Sergeant Mad fires White Flare and Eli uses Flare Blast. The attacks collides causing an explosion and missed Eyes, eventually colliding with multiple stone columns and breaking then in two, one of which almost falls onto Sora but he is saved at the last second by Swordatta. Swordatta duels Sringe with both using wind based attacks with Swordatta victorious again. As Voltack exclaims that he loves how crazy the improvements are and uses a Wolf Howl at Sora using an EMP Keyblade, causing an electrical storm which fries Voltack. The resort begins to fall down around the people even after immobilizing Anuck and Eyes had the two to evacuate the others while Sergeant Mad and his henchmen and Eyes face off once more, a henchman charging towards Eyes, but saved by Swordatta using Azure Winds which freezes the henchman, who runs into a stone pillar behind Eyes. As Eyes tells Swordatta to do better with his catchphrases, Sergeant Mad uses Rock Cannon hits Eli, knocking him down.

The Sergeant says he has a whole army of amped-up men and asks what Eyes has. Eyes replies saying he has friends he has fought with and friends he can count on. He uses Flare Blast at the remaining henchman, now reaching his limit and easily defeated. Eyes tells the Sergeant his henchmen are running out of steam with the side effect and the damage they taken. The Sergeant replies saying he has just the solution to fix that and runs away. The trio starts chasing after him but stops when the Sergeant turns his machine on Eyes and begins firing spells at him, exclaiming that 'You're gonna shut me down? I don't think so!' Eyes leaps behind a rock for cover and asks Sora and Swordatta if they're up for what he's about to do. They nod and Eyes uses Flare Blast for the third time, Swordatta does Swordiac Dance with Sora throwing his Keyblade at the machine. The moves dodges and hits the machine, causing it to explodes and the Sergeant jumps out of the way of the explosion. The trio is successful and celebrated. Outside, they see Sergeant Mad and his henchmen arrested, the senator thanks them for their service. Suddenly, Sora and Eyes fell unconscious.

The trio returns to the base, with Whizaru asking Omorii to heal Eyes and Sora as they took one potion from the gym except Swordatta as he is a robot. Ryoma confirms they may have to deal with other criminals aside from Legion of Horus activity.

At the Horus Cliffside, The Legion were looking at the news, Gaisorg yells at Xenos for his candidate is incompetent and a fake. Thorn gives his report and the candidate he chose, he doesn't like.

At the World of North, a silhouette is shown in a blizzard waiting with a battalion with her.
