Chapter 9-Page-12-Mercy Me
Anyone think that Krystin might have been hasty? Broken hand, but who else is she going to get to help her? Does she even have three other friends?
And what do you think of MMA star, Mercy Morrison? π

WOW her hair looks horrible. Why on earth did she think that was a good idea?
Because it’s awesome!!
She might want to try a brighter shade of purple to contrast with the brunette.
*ponders*
I like the purple!
Even I know when you mix the color you do it as a strip not the paint fell on my head look.
Well most mma pro have little sense of taste. Looks like she thought that meant taste good, and she’s going for the Ooompa Loompa look. But it’s still better than the orange bowl cut in the background. Just say’n
I actually based Mercy on a fairly popular MMA fighter, and I’m glad that no one has recognized her yet, even with the purples hair. π
You mean Ronda Rousey?
Nope, but Mercy was based on the fighter that Ronda was going to fight next before she hurt herself (Miesha Tate is now fighting Ronda) π
Mercy a combi of: Miesha Tate, Cat Zingano & Marloes Coenen :)?
Then it must be Cat Zingano :D!
Cat’s the only one who streaked her hair with purple. XD
I wonder if there will be ALbone’s art
Brenda VS Mercy
because both are submission specialist…
Albone quest..
Mercy Morrison will she be in rivalangels? wrestling?
so Mercy Morrison, still not a champ..
hmmmm…
voting incentive…
what the…..
is that Nikki FOxx finisher?
question again Albone..
will “Powergirl” Katherine Smith be in the next chapter?
The other one is easy: Angel Soprano ;-).
Kat is in THIS chapter, fighting Sabrina for the TV title. π
That is ONE of Nikki’s finishers. The other is the figure-four headscissors.
Yipe! Remind me to never have anyone do that to me.
Mercy’s wowable. Never let your comic be Mercyless!
“Flag football”? I don’t understand. Do you kick a flag around? Do you tie the flag to the ball? Why do you Americans keep bollocksing up our sport?
You’re thinking of the wrong football. Flag football is a variant of the ‘rugby variant with protective padding’ football, not the one where one uses their feet to move the ball. Tackling is replaced by grabbing a piece of cloth hanging out of a player’s back pocket to avoid injuries.
Ah, well then that makes more sense. Seems a silly game, but horses for courses.
And to the degree that I’m conversant with handegg, the Upstarts would seem like a good team selection. Krystin can be the Throwerback, since her right hand’s unaffected, speedy and athletic Sun and Sabrina can be the Catchers, and Brooke can be whatever it is you lot call the fat-arses who hurl themselves at each other in front of the Throwerback.
Jeez, I don’t know much about football other than the guys always want me to hike. It’s pretty cool how the boss can give you signals with a hand on your tush too. Why don’t they do that on TV? I don’t know. But I know more than you!
I assume that’s how most people give you signals…
Great idea: Upstarts vs Mercy & Co :D. Wonder who will be begging for Mercy LOL (flag football heh heh).
Would love to see Mercy in (fighting) action :D.
IΒ΄ll guess Topher will (wants to) be the ref ;-).
‘Begging for Mercy.’ Awesome.
Mercy in fighting action would be outstanding, but whoever would she fight?
*ponders on this matter with some serious pondering*
Perhaps Chloe de Sade, since she isnΒ΄t in Rival Angels for quite a while, maybe making a (very) short side step to MMA is an idea ;-). Although I hope sheΒ΄ll be back in R.A. very soon :D!
hmm 15th spot is not that great, perhaps changing to pro wrestling is an idea for Mercy (although she must get used to the idea :).
Yeah it’s not, especially when there can’t be too many more in her bracket. It’s kind of like that old joke when the Soviets and the US were in a car race. At the end, the Russian radio announced their team came in 2nd. The US came in next to last….
o.k. Mercy corrected it to the 9th spot, also not that fantastic (6 girls stopped/ doped or something else?).
Personally I’d like to see Mercy completely destroy Krystin in the cage.
Krystin has maybe 15 pounds on her. I predict a crush.
Maybe not anymore, Krystin gets thinner everytime I see her.
Huh…
Mercy seems to have a team ready selected behind her…
This might not bode well for Krystin…
…
Upstart Nation would totally kick their butts!!
Yeah, fancy that? It’s like she already knew.
Surely that is far to devious to be true…
Wait, you think Mercy had an agenda picked out ahead of time BEFORE speaking with Krystin and Topher? Her walking up to them wasn’t spontaneous?
I’ll say ‘devious.’ Thinking before speaking is as common as unicorns.
Dunno Bossman, she kinda’ pulled football out of the air pretty quick. Mo Chen would smell set up… lol.
Something tells me that Krystin made a bad choice when she offer to agree to this game. π
I mean who else can she turn to in her time if need to quickly form a four player team ? π
Especially after the way she diss Sabrina like that. π
I think Krystin will get in her Mini-Van and find 3 other people who are doing incredible feats of strength to be on her team.
That sounds like Krystin.
I sure hope they are talking American Flag Football and not the other type of football which would be really weird.
What? Soccer flag football?
Isn’t soccer already flag football? XD
*gives you the eye*
No, it’s REAL Football.
In which you actually use your foot on the ball.
As opposed to throwing it. How exactly can you call a sport football when you throw the ball? Crazy peoples.
CRAZAH!!
Precisely. Call it Throwball.

“The clue is in the title” XD
Well, Mercy might regret those words, because if memory serves there’s at least one upstart who went to college on a rugby scholarship or something like that. Well, if Krystin can swallow her pride long enough to ask Sabrina to be on the team, that is.
You’re right on both counts but can the second happen? Or would she try to convince Sabrina to help her as Sabrina’s idea? XD
I’m liking Mercy. Tough, sassy, and easy on the eyes. Hehehe, she certainly puts a new spin on the term “begging for mercy”.
Hmmph! If I was in there she’d be wondering about the line of work she chose. There’s greatness, and then there’s #15 ranking. I see deFeet in her future!
That’s such a great tagline. XD
It would seem that there will be more Mercy in the future. π
Football, eh? And our little Sabby was once a rugby star. I’m thinking ringer here for Krystin.
This whole thing is an odd distraction. But I suppose it will be a good way to get the Upstarts unified by acting as team. Kinda like what Spartacus did in the Monsters episode. He had members of the rebels who hated each other team up for sparring fights.
Still, you get 8 women on the field with that much ego and that much training, it won’t stay flag football for long.
Oh you know that’s right! This should be filmed!
If Sabrina and Brooke’s wedding catfight taught them anything, it’s to film everything for distribution. π
Smoke her, Kristyn! Smoke her like it ain’t no thang!
Hey, it’s Sabrina! Or should I say “Hey, it’s Ultraderp’s sidekick, Purple Derp*!”?
At least there’s an out for Kenny when this whole Rival Angels thing doesn’t work out. In MMA, she doesn’t need a personality to snap into people’s limbs like Slim Jims.
Flag football? Since this is Chicago, there will be a noticeable lack of SEC speed in this game. Unless Ultrawinger (who couldn’t hack it at Penn State) was suddenly born in the sugar cane fields of Florida.
I just have to mention one other thing: My god, that’s the sleaziest grin I’ve ever seen on anyone in that final panel. Talk about staying classy, Topher.
