Page 15 – Relax
Apr16
It would seem that Ian has a soothing touch when it comes to our angry/frustrated Ultragirl. He is probably doing her a favor, having her conserve her energy for her, you know, match with Cocoa Rococo.

Through the magic of scheduled updates, I’m actually writing this on last Thursday! If I had to guess, I had a wonderful time meeting readers like YOU, and hanging out with friends. Also, imparting the latest Rival Angels Graphic Novel too, which will be on sale shortly.
Voting Incentive!
Coming up on Wednesday…Ultragirl vs Coco Rococo! Vote for a sneak peek!
Well, I don’t know about Sabrina, but I’m a little creeped out by Ian at the moment. He’s getting a bit touchy-feeley for a guy that left her hanging high & dry last match.
Maybe his accent is working for him. His tan sure ain’t. *shudder*
I agree. I’m not sure I would be happy to have someone put their hands on me like that knowing if I barely knew them. But this is a comic so comic time moves quicker.
Sabrina DOES a British accent, especially on handsome men. Ian does mean well despite what his true motivations are.
This may not go well…
The upcoming fight? or the seduction?
mmmm, maybe the evening?
Ok yeah not really the best idea to burn up all your energy prematch but seriously, Ugh!!! this guys is makin me sick get your hands off the lady , you perv, you want one thing and that is to make her a notch on your belt so lay off dude.
Al, Bree really needs somone to watch her back and keep her head inthe game so she dont get distratced by the pretty boys around her
As for burning off all of her engery it would depend on how hard of a work out it is she is doing. Sometimes I good work out, not to hard, can help limber up a person before the match. You don’t want to go out cold.
Though I do agree the guy is moving way to fast.
I see a number of you are protective or our little Sabrina, which is great to see. I think Sabrina is too upset to notice much at the moment, for better or worse.
Oh, well, at least *I* liked it. What’s the Japanese tattoo on her back?
It says “Snow Kittens Rule!” She was told it was something else, but I’m evil.
Laffs* Yes you are!
‘Balance.’ *nods*
Balance: Something Sabrina desperately needs in her life, helpfully tattooed somewhere she’ll never see it.
Credit where it’s due: Ian’s advice is good, and he’s pretty good with the words, for a change. He’s doing well with that.
On the other hand… PERSONAL SPACE, dude. You acted like Sabrina could trust you, and then left her hanging when she needed your help, and since then you’ve done nothing. I don’t understand why she’s allowing you to be that close. I’m a sucker for the ladies, but I don’t care how pretty a woman is, that big a screw-up followed by cuddly-time, in public, WHILE I’M ANGRY ANYWAY… No. Doesn’t work.
That said… WOW, that girl is flexible. Getting kicks that high is one thing. Getting power into them at that angle? Holy CRAP.
I think Albone put that move in there to make the guys drool.
Dynamic stretching doesn’t need a lot of power. But it does extend the power range.
Very interesting panel as a lead in to a pretty tense segment.
Sabrina’s a flexible girl. You may remember that she can do the splits to either do the split-legged moonsault or use it to avoid an incoming attack. I think this is Ian’s way to uh, get on her good side.
He’s going to get his canned tan all over her shoulders doing that.
Even though it makes total sense, I find the image of Sabrina Ultrakicking a heavy bag pretty amusing in a good way.
Now that would be funny to see Sabrina with tanned hand prints on her shoulders during her match. Maybe her opponent would notice and be laughing so hard at Sabrina that she will lose.
Ian’s smooth enough to make sure the tan doesn’t stick to her. XD
I hesitate to mention this, but why hasn’t Sabrina gone on the web and found the info she needs on each of those peeps? Ok, the web’s not totally reliable, but on the subject of “is Cocoa Rococo a catfighter”, a couple of youtube vids are prolly more reliable than Kaci.
Maybe Sabrine thinks the computers in Japan are all in Japanese and so therefore is afraid to take a look and see.
The catfighter remark was more of a dig at Kaci’s reluctance to share information with Sabrina about Neko. Sabrina’s a little bit more prepared for Cocoa.
You can’t beat kicking things to make you feel better!
HAI!
I agree. I wish I had a work out bag like that. More than once I’ve wanted to do kicking at work.
Snowy you’d break the bags like I have. And let me tell you those beans get everywhere!
Sabrina only wishes she was kicking Kaci! 😛
I hear that the dude is singing to Sabrina in the off panels: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llyiQ4I-mcQ
LOL! Ian is smooth like that.
i kinda like Ian’s “Hey while you’re still off balance on one foot let me yank you towards me so you can fall over into my arms” technique to get brina up close as she tries to regain her balance so he can work the jedi mind trick on her. Clearly he feels the tension in Brina’s shoulders so he knows she’s not thinking about Coco which isn;t going to help her come match time.
judging by the VI Brina’s still not over it- or is ticked off that Coco is outpopping her- one of the two. oh and can i nominate Coco as sexiest BRA for this season already?
Like I said, Ian is smooth. XD Yes, you picked up on Sabrina’s vibe correctly, but maybe it could be something else she’s upset about? 😉
Ian and Kaci are Brother and sister respectively ?!?
That I did not know and it could cause some more problems down the road. 🙁
Still, Sabrina better watch herself and her own heart if she doesn’t want it to get broken. 🙁
I mean this was suppose to be a punishment, not an enjoyment…besides Long term and distance relationships don’t often work that well. 🙁
Kaci is the older of the two, but not by much. Problems between siblings, wrestling siblings? XD Long distance/term relationships always struggle mightily, so that is very good advice for her.
Well Ian makes a bit of sense put the crap behind you. Get your head into the game. Stop letting your emotions take over. Now get it over with Sabrina and ultra kick Ian in the general direction of France. No distractions! We need a fresh healthy Sabrina to feed to Blackwidow!
LOL, love the line about Ultrakicking Ian to France!
Hehehe, Ian sure does like to try and take advantage of the situation. I’m just waiting for the moment both he and Kaci get their noses changed from outies to innies courtasy of an Ultra Kick.
You could say that he makes the most of an opportunity. 😉 Brother/sister matching noses?
Hah, they wouldn’t even have noses anymore, just big dents where their noses were
or maybe she’ll smooth them out like Voldemort. XD
Very interesting segment and VI too. I really feel some tension here.
Those track briefs in the VI are going to be interesting. I like the look a lot though.
Do we know who’s in the green in panel one?
The girl in panel 1 is Ricochet! The girl in panel 2 is Schoolgirl Katsumi. You can bet that this scene is going to lead somewhere.
As a former massage therapist, I always go nuts when I see shoulder massage performed incorrectly.
(Start out with petrissage to warm up and loosen up the muscles, go to effleurage when the muscles are loosened, and then finish with tapotement. )
Ian does have other motivations here that might be interfering with his technique. 😛
You need to relax. You need a massage from a creepy tan dude. Or, you could hang out with a certain tall / bald guy, and play video games. For serious, it will relax the crap out of you.
Aside from relaxing the crap out of her, video games with Trevor is pretty cool.
Been away for a couple of weeks and I’ve missed some of the backstage drama it seems, but it looks like I’m back just in time for Sabrina’s next match. That’s just good luck on my part! 🙂
Glad to have you back, you’re just in time.
Love seeing Coco strut her stuff in the VI!!
When I first envisioned her in that ice cream shop oh so long ago, I always thought of her wearing big, Brazilian Carnival-esque feathers. But… you can’t fight like that. So maybe she’ll wear them sometime for the pre show?
So excited for the next update!! <3
I just googled ‘Brazilian Carnival-esque feathers’ and oh yeah…this has to happen.
Ooooooo Yes! And maybe a mask? Masquerade!! Carnival!!
Nenya, great point. She could also have been watching vids to do research about Coco beforehand. Find out what she’s up against. The catfight was very short notice and so she had no prep time… but no excuse here.
