Chapter: Chapter 19 - The Big Night
Characters: Krystin Moline, Sara Valentine
Unfortunately for Krystin, this isn’t the first time that she’s been hit with Sara’s After School Special…and Krystin lost that match. Will history repeat itself? Krystin has about 8 seconds. Will Krystin’s family looking help or hurt her chances from rising again?
An April Fool’s bit wasn’t in the cards this year (like last year), but I hope you’ll be happy with the several side projects that I’ve been working on. Believe me, I really can’t wait to show them to you. 🙂
Voting Incentive!
Oh Maddie, are you sure you really want to see what’s going on in that room? Vote to see what’s coming up on Monday.
Well obviously, we’ve missed a LOT! Dang… weapons… a musical instrument… and I’m totally lost… but wow… Great art and expression!
Come on Krystin! That tart is in need of spanking!
…
Not that being hit by a Kaytar is easy to shake off 😛
See this is why you plan a head and hurt sara with those submission holds Kyrstin now all you need to do is get your fine booty off the mat and go kick some more sass out of that ass
Um, no, looks like Sara landed wrong, her foot should not have been folded like that.
A bad landing for the After School Special (note that I did NOT use the acronym) – OUCH.
If Krystin can recover, she’s got a good chance of winning. She just needs to do more damage to that knee…
Hey, I forgot about Dreamer Angels until just now. And frankly I’m still upset it wasn’t an actual thing.
I have to say thank you for not doing an April Fool’s prank, I’ve gone through enough of them already. The first time is funny, the second time a mild chuckle but when five updates are April Fools prank it gets irritating.
Whoa a Keytar I haven’t seen one of those in years, much less see anyone use one. Where in the hell did that even come from? And that just made me think of Candy Cane from RR for some reason.
Also love how Kystin’s father has his face covered in the first panel while the rest of her family is into it and cheering. Sort of gives an interesting idea of what type of father he is and gives me the feeling Krystin might be a daddy’s girl.
What Krystin couldn’t do, Sara does herself… and by that I mean pretty much end the match by landing wrong using the A.S.S.; that foot should not have hit like that and she probably just came damned close to hyperextending her knee. Even without the work over, Sara would probably be almost completely unable to stand, the added stress received earlier just made the landing all the worst. This match is pretty much over for Sara, unless Krystin can’t get up (she will).
Great art, especially the detail on the foot for the ASS; that alone is a such an important, but probably often forgotten bit to throw in. The stars were the meat but that little added detail is the real star.
Still, Sara has guts, she probably shouldn’t have even tried to stand up. She’s going to be out of action for awhile, but at least she can take the legs out from under Krystin claiming The Definition of Bland did this to her.
All Krystin has to do at this point is answer the count and she can win this match. The damage to Sara’s knee is done, hell it could be broken. And judging for Mondays update…Oh man…Not good! LOL
Oh hate it when I do a bad landing. I didn’t know you needed to be standing to get a count going. I though you were suppose to pin your opponent.
WOW!! did Sara improve?
Sara knows how to use instrument..
is there possible of Sara Valentine VS Candy Cane.. hehehe..
Panel 1: is that a hockey stick? or a boomerang?
Panel 3: I think the referee can count.. remember Triple H VS Shawn Michael (Last man standing) with was a draw..
I don’t know why this Last Angel Standing match rule is modified..
Panel 5: Topher and Moline Family, are undertaker’s eye.. or in Naruto “Byakugan”
lolz
;o
Now I would really love to see a Sara vs Candy Cane. Red head sassy school girl vs. the punk rocking school girl with the cliched heart of gold. Heh I could see them being from rival all girls schools. But who would win?
Wonderful art. Great expressions too. I’m on the edge of my seat!
Brenda? Did you make a new account?
Wow, best use for a keytar I’ve ever seen. And I lived through the 80’s.
Also, hexagonal stop signs FTW.
I like that she has to stand, and that Sara is having trouble getting up too. That’s how a last man standing match should go. I hope Krystin gets back up and wins it.
Finally, a practical use for a Keytar. Krystin’s taken a beating, but never underestimate the human spirit, especially when trying to avoid humiliation. As for Sara, I think she might have sealed her own fate with that After School Special. That knee’s got to be almost completely trashed.
So, even if she somehow won – I’m wondering if Sara’s knee is so messed up she will be sidelined for a while. Mo Chen’s still on the mend afta’ my last few bouts.
Bake those cookies, Lucille! ::blinks:: Sorry, wrong room. Pull it together, Krystin! Have a hallucination of your father giving advice if it’ll help! Or maybe your space-dad!
Awwww… I’m really hopin’ that Krys doesn’t get the lucky win just on Sara’s mistake. That really cheapens the evolution of her career for me… 🙁
hmmm.. Rival Angel only have three referees?
Sharon Gonzalez again..
Five refs for sure.
Zach Alderson (blonde guy)
Nathaniel Miller (african american)
Sharon Gonzalez
Brian Webber (brown hair guy)
Rich Hobart (goatee guy)
Dyna, I was shooting to drop us back into chaos…and also end on it. ! Glad it wasn’t too jarring. 😀 You can be the doctors and trainers are going to want to take a look at Sara’s knee and leg. Not to mention after such an emotionally charged match, both ladies may look to take a small amount of time off (UFC style).
Golden girl, it’s hard getting rocked like that. XD Krystin has her family spurring her on (including great readers like you) but will it be enough?
Comichero, IF Krystin get make the 10 count, then she can take advantage of the earlier work she heaped on Sara. Right now, it’s a big IF.
2O2BC, if Krystin can recover, they’ll both physically be in a similar spot. They’re both feeling the effects of their match as you might imagine. It might come down to a battle of attrition.
Chris, you never know. I got more ideas for Dreamer Angels. XD And, as you know, I’m working on a Dreamer side story. 🙂
SotC, I’m happy to oblige with the no-April Fools update. XD You got it right about Krystin…definitely a Daddy’s girl. As for the keytar, I attended a Dragonforce concert and this guy was using it. It looked so ridiculous and I knew I needed to include it in this match. XD
Hey Picky! We know that Sara was hurting before she attempted the A.S.S. and it was a risk she was willing to take. Sure, she can barely stand, but neither can Krystin right now. Kind of Sabrina-esque in the high-risk, high-reward, but with a high cost. She’s giving as good as she gets and right now, she’s on top.
RAWF, there’s all sorts of things popping off right now! I wouldn’t count Sara out. Not to be too vague, but she hasn’t achieved all of her success without being cunning. She has beaten Krystin before and it’s not looking so good for her OR Maddie/Brooke/Michael. XD
Hey Snowy, a Last Angel Standing (thanks to MGC for the name) your opponent needs to answer a 10 count to keep going. BUT, the ref isn’t going to count until Sara is up on her feet.
MGC, the thing about Sara is she’s a crafty wrestler. She’s not as physically adept as Krystin, but she’s smart and she’s showing by getting the momentum away from Krystin. That is a hockey stick in panel 1. lol A boomerang is an awesome idea though. If Sara would’ve been incoherent (like Krystin) the ref would’ve counted.
Thanks, Champ! 🙂
LOL Bok! Yeah, thanks to Dragonforce for putting the Keytar in my head.
Right on, Ken. We know that this match will be going on for at least another 8 seconds. 😉
Donny, that knee has taken a pounding from Krystin’s assault and now the miscue. it’ll be worth it if Krystin can’t answer the bell. But even if Krystin can answer the bell, what shape will either woman be in?
Cookie Ogre, I think the best rallying for Krystin is for her to smell your famous oatmeal raisin cookies. XD
Baraduin, right now it looks like Krystin has all the un-luck one can get! Remember too that Sara’s knew was extremelly softened up before by Krystin’s assault.
Ya, I agree bossman… Sara will popping by to see Ramesh? 🙂
I think Sara will happy to see anyone but Krystin after this match, win or lose. 😉
that looked painful, but it shows that sara knows how big a win it’d be if she can pull it off at the biggest PPV of the year so she’s pulling out all the stops and toughing it out to get it. Krystin may be in worse trouble than we think since she got that Kaytar shot to the head hard enough to break it- possible concussion there. We know the after school special got a three count before in a simlar fight but now the effects need another 7 seconds. To Krystin’s benefit is that she’s not too far from the ropes so she may be able to drag herself back up like Sara.
How much longer Sara can hold out on one leg is more questionable. I think she needs to wrap this up quick or Krystin’s going to outlast her. You know Def Tech is going to zero in on a bad leg if she gets the advantage again and Sara had a tough enough time getting to her feet now.
“Woohoo! You go Sassy, strike the pose at the top and take this trash out. That biased ref should have started counting right away, i bet Krystin’s paid her off to wait like that, or she’s jealous that you’re way sexier than both her and lard ass put together then doubled. Then you could have beaten the count and she’d be at 6 already! I think it’s time to ready the power of the punch if tubby even THINKS about dragging her slim fast poster child “before” pic self back to her feet. Even a biased ref like this one will have to count her out then!”
In regards to the preview, and my comment from last comic…
SPIKE!!!!
As for this one…yeah, a lot can happen in 7 seconds. Def Tech is gonna be hurting, but if she stands, she’s got a lot better chance than the delinquent. All she has to do is toss Sara into the middle of the ring and she’s done.
I getting to like Sara, when she did moves like head scissors (Page 508) and After School Special.
Um, no Mo. Why do you ask?
Seems my gravitar thingy is popping in and out. Lots of other folks too.
Well that definitely will hurt. Krystin will pull through she’s way tougher than a dressed down school girl. As the Karate Kid movie has taught us…”Attack the leg.”
Krystin hasn’t shown her toughness, Sara has. Krystin isn’t a wilting flower but I don’t think she has the grit of Sara. And the sweep the leg was done by the Cobra Kai, not the protagonist.
1) We were distracted by Brooke last page 😛 So, really we’ve only seen glimpses of Krystin and what she’s willing to do. Saraon the other hand is just fighting to get a win.
2) I never said the protagonist was the one that swept the leg. I said, “If the Karate Kid movie has taught us anything” hence the use of the phrase. 😛
If you ever want to do an April’s Fool strip, feel free to borrow Haggis and use sheep puns to your heart’s content. But meanwhile, I’d like to see some members of Krystin’s have their own turn at Sara, namely her mom!
jpiv, I think the real threat is if Krystin gets up and attacking that bad leg of Sara’s. Sara is showing that she wants to win but she’s going to be in trouble if she starts fighting defensively. Assuming Krystin makes the count, your right about Sara’s priority of putting Krystin away with the quickness. LOL @ Minxy’s comments about the ref!
Adder, it’s going to be a painful 7 seconds. Not only for Krystin, but especially her family! And don’t count out Sara yet. She’s gotten this far and we might not have seen all that there is to see from her.
Adam, I think you are pointing out why the majority of her fan base likes her so. 😉 Just wait til she gets going!
Hey Kurt! It’s gut-check time for Krystin. If she were ever going to answer the bell, it’d be with her family in the front row. Of course, that would make a loss that much more heartbreaking. The Cobras are watching…! XD
Coel, it’s going to be catastrophic if Momma Moline gets her hands on Sara. O_o Especially if Sara wins this right here!
