Chapter 5-Page-18-Crybaby
That seemed to sober Sabrina up to the seriousness of the situation. She’s outnumbered 3 to 1 and if past performance is any indication, Cocoa, Shamrox and/or Elite are going to be too late to help. Or will they? Can Sabrina find a way out of this herself?
Call for Fan Arts!

So Sabrina about to get some carvery or Cena out of this.
Carvery?
Last words? Yeah – how about: I HATE FRIDAY CLIFFHANGERS!!!!!
*grumblemuttercliffhangermumble* 🙂
Me too! XD
How’s about, Where the heck is the REF while this is going on??
Where is the Ref, like, ever?
The ref went to get help. And a pretzel. Possibly call home to assure her family that she’s not risking her neck to get in between trained athletes looking for blood.
the ref is valiantly counting to 5 in order to get the syndicate to stop what they’re doing.
Goodness, all great questions and responses, every one of these. XD Will the world every know?
Curse you friday updates, making me wait an entire weekend. CURSE YOU!
Booo to them! LOL! Monday will be here before you know it. 😉
Really, Katsumi? Really? Gloating and taunting? Wasting time and waiting for the hero to beg for mercy?
_Somebody_ never read the evil overlord list. She really should have just stayed an employee of Yvonne. She might have learned a thing or ten.
As heels go, Katsumi is NOT being very gracious. Yeah, when it comes to overlordy things, Yvonne is second to none.
Last word being… Ninja’d?
Alternatively;
“Huntress’d!”
“Shamrock’d!”
“Cocoa’d!”
“Yoshi’d!”
“Damn you, Atlas!”
“Inyukchuk!”
All of these work wonderfully. Now if one of them would just show up.
I can’t look!
Where is my Hide Me Pillow!?!
She’s about to get hit by a chair.
I think Bunny took it.
That sneak!
She’s very crafty from what I understand. Totally.
Is it me or does this scene seem very familiar for Sabrina ?
Lets hope the outcome is different this time around. 🙁
My prediction? ROBOCOP FOR THE SAVE!
It does seem very deja vu-ish.
Pull a Sideshow Bob, Sabrina! Nobody can do anything while you’re singing the full score to H.M.S. Pinafore!
At this point, it’s a viable defense.
She’s going to fight back, but 3 on 1 odds just aren’t good. Maybe if someone comes out and gives her some back up….Where you at Cocoa!? lol
Yeah, Sabrina’s always ready to go down swinging, but…well, we’ll see. Yeah! Where is Cocoa??
This was milked just for the sake of a cliffhanger wasn’t it?
Honestly, I DO try to make every page have it’s own cliffhanger but this ending up on a Friday was a happy accident. However, before the end of this chapter, I think it’ll show that quite a lot of planning when into this chapter overall.
good thing mock scared doesnt translate very well…heh
1)he’ll turn cobra commander into chair shot..2v1
2) being very shocked the other twos guard will be down
3)disarm the chair weilder with spear
4) turn chair on tall girl, and as wrestling fans we all know the taller you are the more terrified of chairs you are
5) shock the crowd/ friends by being a little to brutal with that chair
6) taunt them with ninja’d cause sabrina is a sweet girl and she knows that will make Sun feel better
7) vader time 🙁
Great, you just ruined the surprise. 😉
QUICK ‘BRINA! HIT THE REVERSE BUTTON!
Ack, she’s been hitting on the HOLY CRAP button. XD
She wore that button out pulling off her miracle upset victory in the match.
Yeah, that button’s not working again for a LONG time. 😛
That would be a look of surprise on ‘Brina’s face in panel 2, not fear, hatred, or resolve. If we also take in the baddies comments that Sabrina looks like she’s about to cry, it’s probably due to gratitude that someone’s coming in for the save. I doubt it’s Sun, since I think she’s too busy to hop a plane right now, but I could be wrong. Someone’s coming up for the save, and Brina is grateful. That’s why she looks like she’s about to cry.
It could be Sun. This chapter started off with Callie trying to make Sabrina tap, and in the next strip there was a flashback to “Earlier…” when she called Sun. If it were “earlier” enough, Sun would have plenty of time to get to Japan between then and now.
That look of surprise is because she knows who’s in the ninja suit — and it’s NOT Kunoichi…
😉
yeah on second glance i think that’s more of a “hey i recognize those eyes and don;t want to ruin the surprise for the others” than “Eeek! Alas and alack! i am so frighten by your misked visage that i must immediately do as you command o dreadful one”
i don;t recognize the eyes myself but i’ll say it’s Cocoa using her mastery of the clothing arts to just happen to ahve a spare ninja suit lying around for just such an emergency.
It could also be her recognizing the voice.
I can’t really believe you Albone..
question..
how come Sabrina became defenseless, usually she defended herself..
Even Sabrina gets surprised by the swerve once in a while.
I don’t think it’s Cocoa under that ninja suit, jpiv. Kunoichi doesn’t seem to have quite the… ahem… ample assets of Cocoa. She seems more like the slender, athletic gymnast type like a certain little dragon. Of course, Sun showing up under those threads would be a swerve out of the left field. Then again, Yvonne was paying these girls to watch Sabrina for her, and I don’t think she is the trusting type. She might have decided to send someone to keep an eye on _them_ as well, and who better than Brina’s BFF?
Of course, Sun having talked to Sabrina from a Rival Angels show just shortly before this speaks against it being Sun. Unless Rival Angels is on tour and just happen to be in Japan?
I’m just wondering when the “BOSS” wanted to see Sun awhile ago, was the Boss “Yvonne” or “Gabrielle”?
I will admit that after I saw this panel, I reread most of this past chapter. Albone did an excellent job scripting the entire chapter.
Thanks! I hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the chapter. 😉
I don’t mind telling you that BOSS was referring to Yvonne. If it were Gabrielle, Sun would’nt have gotten off the phone. XD
Yvonne not the trusting type? 🙂
yeah that was kinda throwing me off on the Cocoa option unless he’s got lots of medical wrap squeezing the poor things into place. Sun just seems too obvious though it would tie in to Yvonne’s needing to speak to Sun. She does have th right build and the speedyness though. (as i just went back and realized the yoshi was a flashback not the match being a flashback so the timeline now fits for it to be sun.
might help if i was able to tell if those eyes were green (not sun) or brown (sun) but those colors fall into my colorblind so they all look the same color category.
The last word should probably be “Duck.”
Man, that’s as good as any word right about now, including a word that rhymes with ‘duck.’ lol
Of course, if that ninja isn’t someone Sabrina trusts, then the best thing she could do at this point would be to go limp and drop the moment that chair starts swinging. There’s no way the ninja would be able to hold her up with the sudden weight, and the face-full-of-chair would be delivered to Ninja Town instead!
That is very sound tactical advice there. Yes.
I wonder if Atlas will “bravely” step in and shoo away the bullies in hopes of a little gratitude hanky-panky from Sabrina. (I’d like to see a Yoshi-Atlas match, actually.) Or maybe the fans will descend upon the ring like locusts and save Sabrina!
Oooh, oooh, or maybe she learned the mist trick from Sun! *crosses fingers*
Man, it’s been forever since I drew misting. I still remember your 100% mist pic. 🙂
He just might and it would be for such a ‘noble’ reason. 😛 I wouldn’t hold out much hope for the fans intervening though. lol
“Ninja!”
That’s the word she’s going to say. And Sun is the other chick. Although, don’t ask me how these girls wouldn’t know about this mysterious new member of their team.
[SCENE: Girls locker room. The girls get ready to beat up Sabby after her match.]
GIRL 1: Let’s go kick ‘Brina’s ass!
GIRL 2: Yeah, she’s a bitch. And she stole my man. We kill her!
[A mysterious woman in a cloak and mask enters the locker room, possibly to watch other women shower. She’s creepy, and mysterious. Did I mention the mask?]
GIRL 1: Hey, creepy and mysterious girl. We’re going to go kick the poop out of Sabby. You in?
MYSTERIOUS GIRL: Ummm…sure?
Just wanted to point out that Kunoichi is a member of the group and we have seen her before, though without her costume on. Putting on the costume while wrestling, though, would hide the fact that she isn’t Japanese (which is kinda important for a female ninja).
As for the “possible” switchroo, funny things happens when people walk from a dressing room to the ring. Hallways are dangerous places for wrestlers (even more than a ring).
Together, you guys have the makings of an excellent theory! 🙂
Never trust anyone in a mask! 😛
those are not the eyes of terror those are the eyes of oh i just had a brillant idea how to mess these bitches up
I’ll go out on a limb and say Sun’s behind the mask.
Cuz she called Sabrina “airhead” over the phone six comics ago? 😛
Honestly it’s getting old to see Sabrina get jumped. It happens what once twice a chapter?? Next chapter how bout we try going an entire chapter without it happening?? I like the story line don’t get me wrong but this isn’t even a twist anymore it’s almost expected.
Well if you’re gonna jump somebody, you would do it to somebody popular. Even bad guys have to be concerned about ratings and keeping people rapt with suspense.
It’s true and the Syndicate is thinking if you’re going to quit someone, the more public the better.
But it’s also true that Sabrina does get jumped a lot and I dig that. Maybe go a couple of chapter without her getting jumped?
Well, looks like they’ve got you in quite a fix, Brina. If I were to give any advice here, it’d be ‘Go down Swinging’. Kick the gal with the chair under the kneecap, the one without the chair in the gut, and try to force Kunoichi back into the corner where she’s sandwiched. It might not work, but at least you went down fighting, and it just might buy some time for any calvalry to come to the rescue
Good stuff, Donny. And you know Sabrina is not going to go peacefully…well, at least to start with.
Yeah I get that popular people get jumped but in a webcomic it gets old fast
I just KNOW Sabrina’s gonna come out swinging and magically kick some ass.
And hey Tiffany, there’s only so many ways to create beef in the ring, at least for someone nice like Sabby.
You know our little Ultragirl! It’s debatable how long she’ll last, but she’ll give a good accounting for her effort.
Trishelle this is true and I like the comic, but the getting jumped thing just I don’t know it’s just feeling a tad over done. Takes some of the enjoyment out of it.
OK, I’m caught up, now. WOW! Lots of action – and I did not expect Big Widow, umm, I mean Black Widow, to actually turn out decent after the match.
But these girls are acting on the behalf of whom? Do those brown eyes seem familar?
Regardless, Sabrina’s not going down until she’s out of ammo, so I expect some serious fireworks on Monday!
Thanks, Albone, for all your hard work over the years! You’ve given us some great charectors to follow – I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Yay! Glad to have you caught up and not a moment too late either. XD
Yes, the brown eyes should be familiar, but who’s are they? And your bit about Sabrina is spot on. Thanks for the encouraging words too! They are very much appreciated.
