Anime Character Humiliation Match episode 37
By Kelly M. Maraglia/RobinIV
Disclaimer: We do not own the rights to Slayers, Naruto, Pokemon or One Piece. If we did then there would be a fourth season of Slayers, there would be less filler episodes in Naruto, Pokemon would not be over 600 episodes long, and the One Piece anime would never have been so HORRIBLY dubbed! We do not own any comic book titles either, although, I am quite proud of my collection of 1,604! Babbit Graywords is the creation of Sailor Aries. We do not own Dragonball Z either, oh the possibilities if we did!
Xeria and Babbit were nowhere to be found. The invisible camera operator kept searching. They were finally discovered, trying to dig their way out from a huge pile of American comic books.
"What are you two doing under there?" Sailor Aries asked curiously.
"Ask that annoying partner of yours!" Babbit yelled in irritation as she picked up an X-Men comic to read.
"Babbit-san, Arcanum-san said not to bother with those." Xeria reminded her annoyed companion.
"I don't have to listen to her!" Babbit grumbled.
"Since when doesn't Arcanum like X-Men comics?" Aries questioned, a bit miffed considering her affection for them.
"It's not that, they just don't matter for this project." Xeria explained without looking up. She kept picking up random Batman comics and flipping through them quickly. Then she would mark the title and issue number under a column with an 'R' at the top and in another column with an 'S' at the top.
"Are you even reading those comics, Xeria and what are you writing?" Aries asked, her confusion growing by the minute.
"I shall solve the mystery for you Aries-san. I asked them if they would not mind helping me with a project." Arcanum explained.
"Okay, but what are with all the comic books?" Aries inquired further.
"I am compiling a list of all of the third Robin's and Spoiler's comic book appearances." Arcanum revealed.
"Why?"
"Why not?"
"Well, why don't we start the match instead?" Aries suggested.
Arcanum shrugged and the stadium filled to 2/3 capacity.
"Contestants enter the ring!" Babbit announced.
From one part of the arena, a young boy with short red hair, wearing a huge gourd entered. He wore a head protector around his arm, sported horrible bags under his eyes and bore the kanji for 'love' on his forehead.
After the other contestant entered, Xeria and Babbit shared a perplexed look and made a mad dash for the question cards. Xeria won and Babbit begrudgingly made her way to her contestant.
"So you're a pokémon huh?" Babbit asked, knowing full well what the answer would be.
"Pikachu?" Pikachu replied.
"You really can't say anything else?" Babbit pleaded.
"Pi? Pikachu!" Pikachu replied happily.
Babbit slumped in defeat and returned to the announcer's table, sending glares at Xeria.
"Gaara of the Sand, so you were the village freak and now you're in charge, huh?" Xeria said in an attempt to provoke the soft-spoken ninja. Gaara just blinked at her. Xeria shrugged and returned to the announcer's table.
"Talkative aren't they?" She joked.
"Shut up. Let the match begin!" Babbit announced.
"Pi-ka-chu!" Pikachu led off with his infamous thunder shock attack, but it had no effect on Gaara's shield of sand.
"Desert coffin," Gaara announced the attack and the sand obeyed his command. It surrounded the small yellow pokémon and closed him up tightly. As Gaara lifted his open hand in the air, Pikachu rose as well.
"Pikachu!" Ash screamed in horror.
Just as Gaara was about to announce the use of his "Desert Funeral" technique, Pikachu disappeared and reappeared outside the ring, safely in Ash's arms.
"What happened?" Sailor Aries asked in confusion.
"I just couldn't bring myself to kill Pikachu." Arcanum said.
"You're pathetic." Babbit mocked Arcanum.
"You have a better opponent in mind for Gaara then?" Xeria inquired.
"Of course I do!" Arcanum said arrogantly.
"She's been watching Dragonball Z lately." Xeria whispered to Babbit.
"Oh, that's why she's acting all arrogant like Vegeta." Babbit slapped her hand to her forehead in exasperation.
The rest of the stadium filled then with various pirates.
"New opponent enter the ring!" Babbit demanded.
No one stepped up.
"I'll go in when I'm good and ready!" A large man, dressed in furs and gold jewelry spoke from the sidelines. Babbit was in a bad mood already. When Babbit was in a bad mood, pissing her off was not the brightest of ideas.
"If you don't get your lazy ass in the ring now, you forfeit you pathetic coward!" She yelled in fury.
The man entered the ring and stood opposite Babbit. Xeria came to stand at her side and this surprised her.
'Is Xeria actually going to fight beside me?' She thought to herself.
"I am Crocodile!" The man yelled indignantly.
"Clock Dell?" Xeria mocked.
"No, Crocodile!" The pirate yelled back.
"Dundee?" Xeria asked innocently.
Babbit allowed herself a small smirk and shook her head.
'How silly of me. She just wanted a piece of the action.'
Then Crocodile raced forward to attack the announcers. At the last possible moment, Xeria grasped Babbit's arm and teleported them back to the announcer's table. Crocodile's punch was blocked by Gaara's sand.
"A fellow sand fan, eh? Did you eat the fruit, too?" Crocodile asked Gaara.
"Fruit?" Gaara asked in confusion.
"Yes I can become one with sand." Crocodile laughed arrogantly and transformed into a huge sandstorm. He moved to attack Gaara.
The young Kazekage formed an evil, creepy smile on his face and Crocodile's attack stopped. The sandstorm floated up in the air and dispersed. The sand particles landed outside the ring.
"Game et match to Gaara! Congratulations!" Xeria announced.
As everyone in the stadium, from all three worlds cheered for him, Gaara's face held a gentle smile briefly. Then everyone returned to his or her respective worlds.
As soon as everyone disappeared, the comic books reappeared.
"Thanks for all the help you both!" Arcanum said happily and the Slayers' spawns sighed.
