Yippee! After a dispute with Awsome Anime Television (AATV), we're back on the air with more Anime Smackdown! (No, I wasn't slacking. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!) .;

Battle 8: Spiffiest abilities

Ahem Welcome to Anime Smackdown! The one show where you get to see anime characters duke it out to prove they're the best! I'm your hostess with the mostess, Hikari Boorei. Today, we have two very special magic users. Introducing, Suzumi and Chichiri!

Chichiri: Daaaa!

Hikari: Welcome, both of you! Let's get right into our questionings. Suzumi, this first question is for you. What exactly are your abilities?

Suzumi: Well, I canso the same things all the tennyos can, but my special ability is Telekinesis—moving things with my mind.

Hikari: I'm sure that's handy. And Chichiri?

Chichiri: Just about anything no da. I can control things, but I'm especially good with water. I can go Chibi at will, and change my appearance into anything I want. I can use ofudas and charms, and I can use my kasa for transportation no da!

Hikari: That's even more handy. First point goes to Chichiri. Now, where do you get your abilities from?

Chichiri: Well, I'm a Suzaku Seishi no da.

Hikari: And Suzumi?

Suzumi: I get it from my tennyo blood.

Hikari: That's very cool. This point goes to Suzumi.

Chichiri: But I'm protecting a priestess! Isn't that cool?

Hikari: Sorry, Chichiri. Suzumi got that point.

Suzumi: Heh.

Chichiri: Daaaa!

Hikari: Moving on. Suzumi, what do you actually use these abilities for?

Suzumi: I need my abilities to fight the Mikages' men. Sometimes it still takes a little outwitting, though.

Hikari: As long as the job gets done, right? And Chichiri?

Chichiri: my powers are great for fighting the Seiryu seishi. I can disguise myself and go undercover!

Hikari: Well, your powers were pretty useful in protecting Miaka. I'll give that point to Chichiri.

Chichiri: Yay—ow! Itai no da!

Hikari: What's wrong, Chichiri?

Chichiri: picks up a pen She threw this at me no da!

Suzumi: It wasn't me.

Chichiri: Of course it was!

Suzumi: Maybe it was someone in the audience.

Chichiri: Daaaa . . .

Hikari: All right, no fighting, you two. Chichiri, next question. Do you use any objects as a medium for your magic?

Chichiri: Well, yes no da. I—ow!—can use my kasa, my staff, and ofudas to—stop that!—focus my powers.

Hikari: nods and you, Suzumi?

Suzumi: shrugs I don't really need to. Sometimes I can use my fan, though.

Hikari: Unless it's Tasuki's tessen, fans just aren't as cool as hats and sticks. Chichiri gets this point.

Chichiri: Will you make her stop throwing things at me no daa!

Hikari: Suzumi, stop teasing Chichiri.

Suzumi: folds hands on table I'm not doing anything. He's just got stage fright, or paranoia or something.

Chichiri: Daaa!

Hikari: Whatever. Next question, Suzumi. What career do you have, and does your magic help you excel in you job?

Suzumi: I'm a dance instructor. My powers don't really help my teach dance, but I suppose I could make things fly around on stage for some pretty cool special effects.

Hikari: I see. That would be interesting, but overall they aren't very helpful. What about you, Chichiri?

Chichiri: When I'm not serving my duty as a seishi, I'm just a wandering monk no da. Of course, my powers are helpful if I come across something I need to fight, and if my feet get tired I can just pop into my kasa!

Hikari: Well, your powers are much more helpful for that. Chichiri gets this point. Pen whizzes by Hikari's head Suzumi, stop that now!

Suzumi: I'm not doing anything! See, my hands are right here!

Chichiri: She's using her telekinesis no da!

Hikari: I think we've figured that out, Chichiri. Suzumi, no attacking the hostess or your opponents or you'll be disqualified.

Suzumi: fine, fine.

Hikari: Good. Now, Suzumi, last question. Did you train your abilities to what they are now?

Suzumi: Well, not really. Occasionally by throwing things at my brother Yuuhi, like . . . this. Sends another object flying towards Chichiri and hits him in the head

Chichiri: Ow no da!

Hikari: Suzumi!

Suzumi: But I was only demonstrating!

Hikari: rolls eyes Kawaii!

Kawaii: Roar! How dare you hit my Chichiri-sama! Tackles Suzumi to the ground

Hikari: sweetly and you, Chichiri?

Chichiri: eyes Kawaii I trained with Taiitsukun for a number of years.

Hikari: Well, even if Suzumi hadn't been disqualified you would have received that point! Chichiri wins the spiffiest abilities title!

Chichiri: Daa—get it off me!

Kawaii: Chichiri-sama! glomps

Chichiri: in chibi mode Get it off! Get it off!
