Well, that answers the question on what Sabrina is going to do. In her defense, she’s got a lot of understandable anger directed towards De Sade. If Chloe didn’t want to get hit with the kendo stick, she shouldn’t have brought it out and used it on Sabrina. But, Sabrina’s fun/retribution ends quickly with the arrival of Kat Smith and she can deliver a knockout shot. Sabrina was running on fumes as it was. It’s only a matter of time before Jen Needles, the third member of Hell’s Belles makes it out there so this is going to turn pretty ugly pretty quick. Maybe a Sun sighting to see what she’s feeling?
Voting Incentive!
Sabrina’s been through a lot including a grueling match against two opponents. Vote to see a preview of Friday’s update.
Wow, so much for keeping the weapon lol. But at least she got De Sade with a nice whacking. The end of this goes back to the numbers game I was talking about and with the Friday preview things don’t look good for Sabrina, I got a hunch its time for Sun to make a dash from the locker room and save her friend from the post match beatdown/humiliation. Would be nice for the two of them to reconcile on live TV I think. 🙂
Hook, line, and sinker Sabrina fell for that setup and looks like she is going to pay the price Friday >.<. Looks like Sabrina is going to get tuned up before PPV, unless she gets some help soon, like from the Upstarts or a certain former BFF, at this point anything is possible, oh Friday is going to be interesting.
Sigh, Sabrina is just lacking that killer instinct to finish off De Sade… I mean really now, you’re just getting revved up to take her out and BAM, right in the kisser 🙂 Well, we’ll just have to see how this night ends… I’m expecting someone to come and help out Sabrina… unless she likes playing 2 against 1…
Ehhh, boy…is Sabrina EVER going to get out of this match? Guess the tactic is to weaken or injure her before the big one…hope she survives!
nice twist.. I am liking the action in this. I also think that fifth pannel is hands down an away one of the best “Sabrina’s” you’ve drawn.
Applause.. honestly!! applause!!..
🙂
at episode 325.. I was bit doubt how Sabrina and Chloe will turn up.. I mean… the worst will be Sabrina destroying Chloe, leaving her motionless.
but I got it wrong.. this episode happen..
I like how this chapter.. the usage of ‘White Queen’ Chloe De Sade.. really putting her too high villian.. or heel! or antagonist.. hitting Chloe with a shinai.. then ‘Powergirl’ Katherine Smith hits a running hook punch.. Chloe is the mastermind, the White Queen…
hit Chloe in a few times, then Chloe smiles at the end, coz she begin to dominate again..absolutely villian!!
🙂
‘Powergirl’ Katherine Smith?
She is played basketball at the past… but Katherine’s punched here and on episode 195.. ahh!! those are corkscrew punch.. really a knocker..
Did Katherine Smith also did boxing?
Panel 1: hahaha!! look at Chloe!! hahah!!
Sun sighting…
I really hope Sun won’t show up.. it’s like cutting the devious momentum..
(some prediction)
a. Sun came tried to rescue, but got ambush by Jennifer Needles..
b. Damage Inc prevented Sun to help, coz it’s not their responsibility or problem.. Damage Inc have no problem with Hell’s Belles.
c. Sun rush out to help Sabrina, Damage Inc rush into the scene, but Damage Inc didn’t done nothing to help, as Damage Inc watch Sun got destroyed.. heheh!!
(Best line of help)
‘Celt Warrior’ Brenda Rua comes to help!!
well at least brina got some good shots in and made sure there was no kendo stick left over to be used against her later on. and right to THE SKULL!!! of Chloe in panel 2. loved Chloe’s begging in panel 5. “I’m hurt. please stop.” i can see it now, Brina- about to unleash a further beating on Chloe then suddenly “what’s that? you’re hurt? oh ok i’ll stop…i can’t believe whacking you with a stick was going to hurt you like that are you ok?!”
Chloe’s ninja skills are clearly lack given the fact she was already about to rabbit last update yet Brina has the time to land three solid shots to her before she can get out. No doubt a REAL ninja will be needed to show the proper way of doing things. Sun to the rescue next update? or is jen needles lurking in the back waiting to cut off any help en route?
Brina doesn’t look too good in the sneak peek. Xtina may yet return to try and make amends for her smack talk as well for the “happy face fight post match making up” thing. if Krystin wasn’t busy with her post power of the punch concussion at the hands of Sara Valentine i’d say she’d be a surprise helper for Sabrina as well. and we can’t forget Victoria Buckingham who’s ticked off with Kat for how she lost her tourney mach. so many possible run ins…so few panels ;P
and on the other side don’t forget Angel “Hell’s Belles” Soprano is lying around somewhere in the ring/on the floor…somewhere. so she might want a bit of revenge as well for Brina’s ruining her shot at both the title and possibly getting in Hell’s Belles as well.
Crap! Maybe I /didn’t/ want to see Sabrina cut loose. That was not pretty. The girl does not have a tight reign over her emotions and it gets her into trouble over, and over again. I think Sabrina is really going to have to grow up, and learn to take her fights as a job, and not personal, if she really wants to advance to the next level. Well, if she /lives/ to take it to the next level. Where on earth are the refs??
Questions..
‘White Queen’ Chloe De Sade? she like to inflict pain to others? is she also capable or can resist much pain? I mean a shinai, three times concecutive, then Sabrina toss Chloe towards to the security wall… Chloe still not outcold? and by looking at the last panel Chloe is smiling..
if recap.. episode 239 Chloe strike the shinai on Victoria Buckingham, then after that, Victoria just lose the match.
and panel 1: I notice Chloe’s wrestling attire.. have a pair of line like on the left and right attire of her? what’s that? zipper or something? kinda odd.. ehehe!!
Still…
ALL FALL TO THE HELL’S BELLES
ALL HAIL ‘WHITE QUEEN’ CHLOE DE SADE…..
🙂
To be perfectly honest, if I were a bad guy and had a stable of goons at my beck and call, I’d be pretty bloody annoyed if none of them came out to help me if I was being smacked around.
I wondered why Chloe would come alone… This answers that. I’d say it’s high time for Sun to show up and save Sabrina’s derriere ^_^
BTW, I find the way Kat Smith sends her punch pretty weird: I don’t think it would be very effective with her legs in this odd position – just try and you’ll see 😉
I’m a bit surprised that Sabrina cut lose, I was sure she’d let it go. Of course, I was also sure that she’d end up attacked, no matter what she did, and who am I to suddenly start thinking that Sabrina is going to reign in her emotion? Haha.
Will Sun try to come make the save? I dunno, but if she intends to, this would be the proper moment to do so, when the Ultra to her Dragon is helpless and about to get beat down.
And I’m with Lora, where are the bumbling refs and generic, black-shirted wrestling security dudes to come out and break this up? Hehe.
RAWF, yeah, the kendo stick just didn’t seem to work out. Friday is not looking good for Sabrina either especially since all of the Belles aren’t accounted for. A save by Sun would be cool, but I think Damage Inc might have something to say, not to mention the other members in HB.
Jabberwocky, in hindsight, Sabrina might’ve been better served taking the high road and getting out of there but you have to know it felt good to pay De Sade back some. Sabrina could use a save. Is it possible that Brooke, Krystin or *gasp* Sun shows up?
Kurt, Sabrina doesn’t have a true killer instinct she goes an awful lot on emotions and she’s still a rookie. She doesn’t have her focus set yet. Hopefully, she’ll still have time but who knows after this beatdown.
Darkmark, you said it. This is purely to soften up Sabrina for the big PPV. So far, they’re doing a good job of it too. First, Angel, and then Chloe and Kat.
Thanks Drew! I’m glad you are enjoying the action and the art. 🙂
MGC, the master plan of the Belles is in full effect. Chloe likes messing with body and mind. She does like to inflict pain but doesn’t like to receive so much. As to why she wasn’t knocked out, as much as Sabrina’s angry, she wasn’t looking to injure Chloe, plus, she’s just been through a tough match, where Chloe hasn’t even fought yet in the comic.
jpiv, you have some good observations and predictions. LOL, I guess we’ll never know just what Sabrina would’ve done had Kat not interfered. Hmmm, would it be cool to see Jen and Sun next update?? There might be a Sun sighting but she might not be in any position to help out. O_o The other guesses are good too. Victoria or Xtina definitely have a bone to pick with the Belles. Ah yes, the forgotten Belle, Angel. She could still factor into this match if she ever regains consciousness. XD
Lora, that is a good question about the refs. The refs are told to get out of the way when this kind of thing goes down unless they have backup in other refs or security. Right now, it’s bedlam! And Sabrina would benefit from someone stopping this beatdown. Maybe next update? And you have some solid advice for Sabrina, and it sort of mirrors what Marina has been trying to get into her head for a while https://www.RivalAngels.com/2008/07/25/rival-angels-page-90-lecture/ Of course, Marina didn’t help things by egging her on at the outset of this match. 😛
Pete, Kat sure did cut it close there, didn’t she? lol I’m sure Chloe will forget all about it once she lays a few haymakers into Sabrina’s grill.
Jul, Kat’s weirdo position is due to her picking her spot from a dead stop after running. It’s supposed to look a bit unbalanced but I do get your point. Yeah, Chloe doesn’t do anything confrontational like this on her own.
Chris, she went crazy! One day (maybe) Sabrina will get a handle on her emotions but you have to admit that Chloe’s been asking for it for a while. But, it wasn’t meant to be anyways. A Sun save would be welcome as well as UltraDragon! You never can tell. 😉 Security is on the way!! (maybe).
I liked the Sabrina in #5 & 6 too. Some of your best!
I’m not goint to try and predict what happens next though. I’ve been wrong too many times. But what a great match! The fans sure got their money’s worth. And I see Sabrina climbing a rung, maybe two, after this performace.
Yes, the voting incentive might look like Sabrina is in for some serious pain, but she’s gotten out of worse situations. A quick move and Cloe de Sot punches Kat instead, so there’s still a lot left that can happen. Or Sabrina could just get plastered…
It’s kind of funny there was an argument about how invincible Sabrina is supposed to be, and then we see her set up for an ass kicking. Technically the Upstarts are still together, so let’s see if Krystin and Brooke come out and help her. Which still might not be decisive unless Brooke brings Amanda Breaker with her. If they don’t come in with the assist, I would say that stable is effectively done.
Wouldn’t hold my breath on Sun coming in. She might want to, but Damage Inc. says no. Worst case scenario, Sabrina takes the 3 on 1 beatdown until the refs and/or security come in.
Thanks Champ! I like to think I’ve been steadily getting better. I’m glad you think Sabrina has elevated her game, despite her current predicament. And you won’t have to wait too long to see what happens next. 😉
GhostEraser, that’s a very ‘glass-half-full’ way to look at it. Sabrina, if anything, is quick so she could try and dodge any blows coming her way, though Kat is strong as an ox. Or, you’re right, maybe a plastering.
Ken, yeah, Sabrina’s not invincible. Not physically, mentally, or emotionally. Krystin’s a good choice, but she might still be recovering from the double KO shot from Sara. Brooke, may have used up her quota for making a save (for doing it during Krystin’s match), but you never can tell. As much as Marina was keeping Sabrina from going out during Sun’s match, expect Yvonne and the Damagers to feel similarly towards Sun. Where is security??!
I was thinking to myself, “There’s no way Chloe is this much of a wuss,” and then her master stroke kicked in.
Just for irony’s sake, how about Madame Champion and the Black Widow come and put the smite on everyone so they can get on with the show? You gotta wonder if they get tired of having to wait for this kind of nonsense all the time. 😉
I do know, how much all of us would you like a reconsile for Sun and Sabrina, I just don’t see Damage inc being to happy about it. I mean they work fine with the belles when it falls to their favor. The other upstarts perhaps, though I really doubt Brooke would step in with people she’s wanted to join. I would love to see a little bash towards Angel from the Belles. Show their true colors to her. I have to agree with Lora (who’s strip is also amazing) I am so dissapointed. I really saw her grow up. Yet alas those crazy emotions! Oh my, more pain and that elbow is prime target, breaking it would really help them out. I didn’t see her backing off cause Chloe was hurt in the beautiful panal 5 I see her ego playing the crowd. I don’t think the pros get tired, cause they’ve been around long enough to know that these intruptions bring a crowd and money. Though Brenda helping out would be really cool. Nah, driven by the crowd she might be, but there is only so much. She has to be down and out, perhaps a dodge, perhaps a throw here or there, but she’s getting out. Xtina I would so say yeah! Guess we shall have to wait…
If there’s anything watching Pro Wrestling has taught me, the bad guys lackeys will always jump you from behind as soon as you start opening a can o’ whup ass on ’em. Even if you’re alone in the middle of a car park with clear space all around you – wham. They’ll be there. Always check your back, Sabrina. Always.
Trevor, that’s why she’s the boss. 😉
Cookie Ogre, that’s not a bad idea. They’d pretty much shut this down pretty quick. 😉
Vekara, it feels like a long time for Sun and Sabrina, doesn’t it? They had a couple of false starts but never really got to make up. Is it too late? As much as Marina reigned in Sabrina during Sun’s match, Yvonne has been doing that with Sun this match, though a bit more subtle. Sabrina’s out on her feet though. She’s exhausted and been beat up and now it’s 2 on 1. Time was always against her and her consolation prize is that she’s in the finals for the TV Tournament, though what shame she’ll be in is debatable. (PS., I think Lora’s strip is amazing too!)
Hey Alurker! Your pro wrestling knowledge serves you well and as you can see, pays off with HB enforcer Kat Smith coming to make the save. You could be alone in the desert and they’d still find a way!!! XD
I’m still moving to have Sabrina and Sun at least make up, if not eventually become friends again, Boney, and there’d be no better way than to have Sun come out and even the odds. Better yet, have Needles come out and try for additional hurting and have Xtina come out with Sun, and then have a 3-on-3 tag match between them if there’s still time permitting between “tonight” and the PPV.
A 3 on 3 would be pretty cool. 😛 We’ve seen that the desire for Sun and Sabrina to make up is there, it’s just no one (Kyra, Marina, Yvonne) is giving them a chance to to do it.
