Page 251 – Doublecross
SWERVE! Â I really didn’t think so many would’ve thought that Sun went over to the dark side over Sabrina’s body. Â I really thought I was being way too obvious with last page, last panel, and the arms paralleling Chloe’s glove/sleeves. Â So, now that you know that Sun hasn’t betrayed her BFF, what do you think now?
Double cross on the double cross!! Sun didn’t nail her best friend with the chair and in fact, thought she had a deal with De Sade to sacrifice the already beaten Yorks to Hell’s Belles for Franchesca’s ‘snubbing’ of the Belle’s invitation to join.
Sun, silly girl, thought that De Sade would keep her word, but not completely. Why else would Sun have her own brand of retaliation ready to go? Sun said that she never wanted to be a circus freak and blow fire, but…well, we’ll see what happens next update with that. 😉 De Sade does look awfully worried, doesn’t she?

You did get me, Suns arms were what clinched it for me. Just when I thought I had It figured, and I thought it was going the double cross route for awhile now. This was well played and written. You really had me going. The first thing I said I liked about comics by independent people is that the stories aren’t editorally driven, so the creator can, really tell the story that they want to tell. Good Job, really good chapter, can’t wait.
So that black hand was actually real black because it’s the color of Chloe’s gloves ?? My goodness! I thought it was black because it’s shadowing Sun’s hand.
Albone ……. you …… are …….. GENIUS!!! I wish WWE would hire you to be their storywriter (at least for their women/divas division 🙂 )
OMG!!!
Â
THE HELL’S BELLES!! YEAH!!!
Â
Panel 1: Sun saying “you’re supposed to leave me and Sabrina out”
ah? Â 226-229.. Sun.. Sun got the audacity to make fun of the Hell’s Belles.. now the Deal will come smoothly if Sabrina didn’t make fun of the Hell’s Belles in the first. who started the fire.. Episode 226-229..
heheh! look at the Yorks!! heheh!!
Â
Panel 2: Â Half Breed!! heheh!! ‘Zendrati’ heheh!!
Â
Panel 6: where did Sun got that lighter? do she smoke a cigarette?
The problem is Sun miss the target and hit Sabrina.. Â Sabrina is weak on reflexes, episode 77.. Â If Sun missed it, it will be mis understood on Sun and Sabrina. I mean Sabrina might think that Sun nailed her with a steel chair and mist her.
Â
there’s another turn in wrestling.. let’s say Sun pretend to help Sabrina. by blocking the steelchair, Sun did it herself.. I mean purposely missed Sabrina or even nail Sabrina with a steel chair..
Â
here’s some questions? where are the Damage Inc? what’s the relationship on Damage Inc and the Hell’s Belles? York Sisters turning face? after this, there’s also possibility that Sun might get backstabbed by Damage Inc.. coz of the Sun ruining the Hell’s Belles.
Â
YEAH! HELL’S BELLES!!
I’M HAPPY TO SEE THEM!!
Â
ALL HAIL ‘WHITE QUEEN’ CHLOE DE SADE!!!
ALL FALL TO THE HELL’S BELLES!!!
Â
YEAH!! HELL’S BELLES!!
agreed on PS2KID!!!
I admit that when I looked at the arms, I thought the cinches on them might be Sun’s elbow pads, but in retrospect they’re tighter than Chloe’s opera gloves. It does make sense in retrospect. The Belles (read, Chloe) don’t take people saying no to her well, and she DID swear revenge. Damage Inc. were also pissed with the Yorks, for leaving them. Alliance of convenience, in short. DI and the Belles might not be friends, but in this case they had the same enemies. Sun knew about the Yorks, but Sabrina was not part of the deal… unfortunately Chloe doesn’t think the terms of deals apply to HER.
Now, the big question is how much of that did Sabrina hear? If she was lucid enough to catch it, Sun will have to do some fast talking. If not, she’s got some more grace bought, though it can’t last too much longer. This was Sun’s ticket to DI, and I’m not sure how long they’ll want to wait to unveil their new member. And THAT discussion might just form a real rift to have Sun turn on Sabrina, since such a thing would be sure to put her on the defensive.
And yup, you threw a lot of us, myself included (my hedge-betting aside, hehe). The “I’m sorry” was definitely a reference to the lie and taking advantage of Sabrina, not to an upcomong chairshot. As for the lighter, all I can say is this…
She is the Li’l DRAGON, right? 😉
Sun’s either bluffing or crazy… or both. I really am digging the York sisters though.
Nice swerve!
Well, that’s a great relief. And it’s obvious Sun’s gonna do a Gene Simmons…you’re telegraphing your punches there (“Telegram for Popeye!”), but it’ll work. Thanks, Albone.
How can Sun be surprised by the Belle’s clobbering Sabrina? If they hadn’t started it, ‘Brina would have tried to protect the Yorks. She’s too much the babyface not to. Either way Sun was getting her creamed and she knew it. Why else appologize last page?
I mean other than her being the heel she should be, darn it. When is Sun going to cut loose on people? If I wasn’t looking for it, I’d have never believed it last page.
At least someone else remembers the days of wrestlers playing with fire. It was always fun to watch Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler throw a fireball at someone and discount it as a camera flash or something when asked about it in an interview.
Wow! A great surprise again 😉
I figure some girls are gonna get… Wait for it… NINJA’D! (And get their hair burning too 😛 )
And BTW, if Chloe de Sade is really a French enthusiast, she should be called “Reine Blanche” instead of “White Queen”. And she should be wearing white clothes. Just my two cents 😉
Congratulations, Al’! 😀
Huge surprise from Sun as well. Guess if you make Sun keep her promises you need to keep yours as well…
Im sorry i ever doubted you sun. Let me make it up to you backstage
Â
on less creepy notes, shes going to get hit from behind, or miss. theres no way that youre going to let her burn off chloes hair. M.C.G would kill you 16 times before you hit the ground if you damage his woman 😛
I’ll get to commenting and responding in a bit, but quick update: Voting Incentive is new and updated.
WooHOO! Woot! What a nice surprise in how this was handled!
I’m guessing Sun is betting she won’t have to use the fire, that Hell’s Belles will back down long enough to get some backup in. Or maybe Yorks will get up? Either way, this isn’t over!
Well, you got me, but I am glad Sun is not turning on Sabrina. Still, Sabrina will have to be pissed off that Sun lied to her and made this deal. Not sure what Sun will light on fire, but I’m sure if she torches a table or a 2X4 it will send Hell’s Belles running. We’re getting into some crazy ECW shit there.
I might pick up the graphic novel since I am a fan and want to support the comic. Does it have any special content not available on the site? Concept sketches, pin-ups, anything like that?
Â
Â
Hmm… Okay, Sun may still get a cookie, but I’ll make it a half-dozen if she sets Chloe’s hair on fire. ::hides from M.G.C.:: French women look good with short/no hair, right?
YAY SUN!
You had me so worried she was going over to the Belles or something. I was like “noooo…. ::sniff::” But I knew she’d come through. Scorch her perfect hair, Sun!
Man, those are sweet incentives. Sabrina is so far my fav out of the 5 thus far.
I knew it wasn’t Sun. And Sabrina BETTER have heard that stuff or she’s gonna be the RA Lois Lane.
I agree Jul “Reine Blanche”
Rorschach, that is music to my ears, er, poetry to my eyes? XD Â I’m very happy that you enjoyed these last updates in particular as well as the overall comic. Â It was honestly hard not to expand more on the apparent Sun turn but I knew it would have a more powerful effect if I kept my mouth shut. 😛
Haha ps2kid! Â Thanks, I appreciate that. Â Glad you liked the update and I bet you like what’s to come.Â
MGC, most of your questions will be answered in time and I’m glad you liked the reappearance of Hell’s Belle’s. Â Sun has that lighter for just such an emergency. Â Like Justin said yesterday, it’s no ovah yet!
Adon, you have a very good read on the situation at hand as well as the potential of this storyline going forward. You got the temporary alliance between Damage Inc and Hell’s Belle’s scouted nicely. Â There is backstory with those two groups, but its going to be a bit before we get to it, but despite that, you have the right idea. Â As to what did Sabrina hear? Â That is going to be kind of heavy in the next chapter. 😉
Picky, glad you liked the swerve! Â More York Sisters in the future, you lucky reader. XD As to whether Sun is bluffing, crazy or both….Friday’s update is your hookup.
Darkmark, you’re not alone in your feelings about Sun so you are in great company. Â Gene Simmons, fire breathing moment coming? Â Mayyyyybe.
Haha Salazen, the flash paper! Â An olide but goodie. Â We all have seen Sabrina and her be a bit naive at times. Â We sort of chalk this up to the good girl face trait about her. Â However, Sun, as street smart as she might be, got caught napping on this one. Â She never thought that the Belle’s would break their word like that. Â However, she did think enough to bring the fire equalizer, at least the threat of it.Â
Hey Jul!  A Ninja’ing could be coming and Chloe can concentrate on that  wig convention for a while. LOL @ the White Queen thing.  That’s just something that MGC calls her.  She’s never been called that in the comic. XD
Hey Prestwick! Â Sun is about to hammer that very point home. Glad you liked the surprise. 🙂
T-M, Sun and I are prepared to take that risk. XD Â Or not. Â You’re right, there’s lots more that could happen. Â Maybe even from Sabrina?
Well said, Champ! Â And that is a good question. Â Will Sun go through with it, if she has to? Â More on Friday!
Ken, you are in good company in your Sun relief. Â It shows that a lot of people care about Sun, Sabrina and their relationship together. Things will be turning to the more rough side soon in Rival Angels, so I hope that doesn’t scare you off. Â There is special content in the graphic novel including sketches, pinups and bios. Â Some that have been seen here (voting incentives, roster, etc) and some are brand spanking new. Â Thanks for the support!
Cookie Ogre, you might have to get to baking! LOL
Hey Coyote Lovely! Â Seems like the support is growing for Chloe to sport a new hairdo. LOL Â Glad you enjoyed the swerve. 🙂
Jamie, I’m thrilled that you liked the incentives. Â They really do look great. Â I can tell you know that whether or not Sabrina heard what just went on, expect it to get out in the open sooner than later.
Theres one very important lesson ive learned in the past 2 pages
Â
Whatever you think is going to happen, or is happening, Al will make you wrong. Very, very wrong.
Â
but i DESPERATELY want to see Rival Angels premier dragon breath fire.
Â
!!!!!!!
Â
Brain wave!!
Â
Sun V Chloe in an inferno match! – Hellfire V Dragonfire in the hottest inring action since Edge and Lita put a bed in one
Go Sun! Half-breed power~! 😀
Great idea!! TM
Â
I surely get my vote for the win… “White Queen” Chloe De Sade.. ” Reine Blanche” Chloe De Sade… being a major fan of the Hell’s Belles.. hmmm I wonder I will be knight for Chloe, hehhe!!
She could just call herelf Reine Blanche, most people who read this dont understand much french and to be honest it sounds more like a name than a title anyway, i think that Reine Blanche could be a good ring name for a french wrestler in an american promotion.
Gee, Didn’t expect that. Never thought it was Hells Belles.
here’s one question..
Â
If Sabrina didn’t provoke the Hell’s Belles in episode 226-229, surely this wouldn’t happen right? the deal changes when Sabrina provoked the Hell’s Belles in episode 226-229?
OK, pal, I confess, you had me convinced that Sun was up to no good, but I knew (mostly) that she couldn’t be the chair swinger. Obviously, the Yorks didn’t know what was going on, either. So, Mr. Albone, with all this misdirection and misinformation you’ve dispensed to hide the true plot, you’ve got to be a pro – so, are you in the Senate or the House? Which P.A.C. do you work for?
I’m betting Chloe de Soot has an asbestos wig, but I’m not so sure about her unstablemates…Â Burn, baby, burn – but watch that carbon foot-print or the feds will be looking for you!
By the way, great work on the plot and the art, both are first class!
well like Salazen i was looking forward to Sun being a true heel but guess she’ll work her way there. Sabrina is too trusting tho and she would have had it coming if Sun had blasted her front teeth  into the cheap seats. teach her to  be smart enough to expect things like this. French fry Chole once again relys on the numbers even agianst 2 already beaten down victims. but i’m sure her and the dumb Belles will be weell done if they call Sun’s bluff.
Booyah! I totally called that. Especially since there was no way Sun could of grabbed the chair when she had just pinned the York sister 🙂
MGC: Nope. That wasn’t a dealbreaker. The Marquis has had it out for Sabrina since the comic was in single digit pages. You give someone like that a shot and she’s going to lie, cheat and steel chair her way into taking it.
tgt – while kudos on calling it we dont know how long we have between the pin and sabrina cheering, she could have had one lined up then grabbed it quick, afterall chloe had time to get in there and hit her from behind
XD
Didn’t know it only was a nick give by MGC but it suits her well anyway ^_^
Thanks for answering each time!
Hey  T-M!  I don’t know Reine Blanche  but she sounds cool and I agree that would make an outstanding name for a French wrestler in Rival Angels. Glad you enjoyed these last few pages and that you found them entertaining.  Man, Sun vs Chloe would be awesome!  That’s assuming either of them are still around after the PPV. :PÂ
LOL Oraxia! Â Power to the people!
Adam B, you weren’t alone in the swerve, so you had some good company. Â Glad that I can still surprise you. 🙂
MGC, Salazen’s got it right. Â Chloe had no intention of honoring her part of the deal. Â The real question is if Yvonne knew that Chloe was going to double cross them. Â
Ghosteraser, its how I roll. Â I have to keep things exciting around here. LOL Â An asbestos wig would be frickin hilarious right about now. Thanks for the comments, they are greatly appreciated.Â
You are absolutely right Jenn, about Sabrina. Â She is crazy trusting, though its not too far off to trust her BFF so. Â There’s going to be more to that thread in the future. ‘well done’ could be in Chloe and the Belle’s future….!
Kurt, it’s why I had to watch my remarks leading up to this reveal. Â I didn’t want to spoil anything, especially for the few that did figure out or suspect what was going on.
Jul, if Chloe wore white, I would totally agree with the nick. Â Black Queen would be more appropriate, especially because she was like, a vampire. Â Much more in line with Chloe. LOL
reine blanche is white queen in french 😛
Â
so it would be an alternate name for chloe . . . possibly brought into use if she loses her hair?
