Sick burn

I don't even know their name

But I like them

So, Two Weeks Later...

We've not seen any of the backup crew before, have we?

I'm thinking these might be some of the club captains Rain mentioned, here.

From the looks of the far left, it seems Artemis also has a basketball ball team. And, if the scarf is any indication, the one on the far right may be part of Gabrielle's group.

What I'd like to know is, what happened to Hecate? I thought she was about to take matters into her own hands, but it looks like all she's done is remove the sword and prevented Cerise from dying.

A wild comic appears!

I first thought that was Jaqui on the right, but she doesn't look cheerful enough. Just as it is unlikely that that is Amelia with the volleyball.

Hecate doesn't really care about Cerise -of the coven she is quite literally the low end of the totem pole-, all Hecate wants is Melissa to kill Cerise -Basically Hecate is pulling an Emperor Palpatine and wants Melissa to strike Cerise down and join the dark side- Cerise getting the snot kicked out of her isn't Hecate's problem. Its kinda sad that once again Cerise is caught in a Drama that is all about Melissa, ie this is pretty much nothing but a ploy to rid Melissa of the wand's presence.

Now if Cerise manages to win on her own, hey she proves she's capable and Melissa isn't the glowing paragon Hecate think she is.... but really Cerise has pretty much shown time and again she's rather incompetent at being a supervillian.

Names, Names, what're their names?

I would say that is all she did. It's not like Cerise is important to Hecate, after all. She's a tool whose presence is temporarily necessary, but beyond making sure she lives long enough for Melissa to be able to kill her off, I doubt Hecate cares one bit what happens to her. Which means she won't step in to save Cerise any more than absolutely required to keep her alive.

Shouri stated that RE:keywords having problem after a CMS update. While I would like to believe that it seems that Cassandra not having that issue with Dangerously Chloe. As far was I know those girls could just as well be Callista, Amelia, Jacqui and Gabby (change of wings/hair color what have you and voila!).

[Insectoid]

Burn!!

These must be the "stubborn few" Whoever-this-girl-is mentioned earlier. Either that, or Mel's really been busy... hmm, Volleyball club, Sewing Club... and a girl we still don't know anything about other than that's she's a good actress. How are they supposed to stand up to Cerise's power?

Yeah, I'm aware of this part.

Cerise getting the snot kicked out of her isn't Hecate's problem. Its kinda sad that once again Cerise is caught in a Drama that is all about Melissa, ie this is pretty much nothing but a ploy to rid Melissa of the wand's presence.

Also true, but I'm starting to wonder if Cerise's 'real problem' is the very thing she mocked Faith for. What I mean is, deep down, her issue isn't really with Mel, it's her own self-esteem. It could be that Cerise just wants someone to care about her.

Mel would simply be the focal point of her misplaced resentment, due to the fact Mel was the one who first diverted people's attention away from her. Which Jacqui said Cerise likely never forgave her for. But, tbh, it could just as easily have been Layla, or Faith instead, since they're both popular to the point of being the center of everyone's attention.

Not that I'm excusing any of what Cerise's done, which she does need to answer for (or at least, accept responsibility for) in some fashion. It's just that part of me feels bad for her.

Agreed. And it's hard to say who's more arrogant Cerise or Rain if the latter isn't the least bit nervous. That sword through the back was probably the only thing that could kill her. Now that Hecate has removed that possibility it's a group of stronger than average kids versus a powerful and presumably angry god enhanced witch. At least it will buy Melissa time to do something. Dealing with Rain's group won't take long, but she'll definitely want to get Skye back.

Like a nerdy kid walking into the girl's volleyball locker room.

Sword's still there - look at panel 1. Hekate's apparition only took it to the nearest wall and dumped it, apparently.

[Of course, were anyone but Mel to use it you may think the big H would intervene again, but that would apply even if this group beat her any other way too...]

Names, Names, what're their names?

The dark-haired one with the black eyes.... that's Starscream
