dumb extra comic I made to fill out the printed version lol (and the back cover)
extra comic, Rora is getting out of her battle bug after a presumed fight with Gelle. Gelle has come over to talk with her. Gelle: Curses! You've bester me once again!!! Now I'm forced to heed your every whim as punishment!!! Rora: what are you talking about- that's not something we do. Commentator: WHATS THIIIIS?? Rora has issued a penalty game?!!?!? Rora: no, I didn't- Gelle: What is to become of me~ Commentator: WHAT'LL IT BEEE, CHAMPION?!? Rora(thinking): This is ridiculous... I'll make her do something stupid so she doesn't pull this again... Rora: Bark like a dog. Gelle: ARF!!! The Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Gelle: my... how forward... Commentator: AND THE CROWD GOES WILDD!!! The back cover for Battle Burn. It shows chibis of Gelle and Rora standing next to each other with a little heart above them.

BATTLE BURN (9/9)
Page 32 of Battle Burn. Rora and Gelle are talking with eachother. Text Reads: I don't want you to be mad at me. ... thank you If you are mad though be sure to take it out on me... in the battle ring you're gonna need any edge if you want to keep your championship Page 33 of Battle Burn. Rora and Gelle finish talking. Text Reads: That's bold considering how out of practice you are... It's all muscle memory! Muscle memory! or at least... I hope so either way I'm looking forward to it. me too. Various sketches of the characters Doodles of Rora's outfit in ways it isn't drawn in the comic

BATTLE BURN (8/9)
Page 28 of Battle Burn. Rora and Gelle are conversing with eachother. Text Reads: flailing around like an overgrown child and breaking whatever's closest the fact that I was the best was the one saving grace for this reckless hobby. but there's no justifying this anymore... if I'm not the best... If I'm hurting people... It's time for me to grow up. ... what... just like that??? after all this time- you're tired of being "desperate???" Page 29 of Battle Burn. Rora and Gelle are talking with eachother. Text Reads: That's just called CARING Rora!!! You can't run away from caring!!! If it's not this it'll just be something else you're desperate to keep!!! and if that didn't happen that's even worse... Sure, things go wrong... and sometimes things have to change... but caring isn't the part to let go of! Don't use me as an excuse to empty yourself. I certainly didn't ask for that... ... Page 30 of Battle Burn. Rora is breaking down in tears. Text Reads: ...sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry... I'm sorry I hurt you, Gelle... I didn't mean to... I'm sorry... for still wanting to fight... even after hurting you. I'm sorry... It's okay, Rora... Page 31 of Battle Burn. Gelle tries to comfort Rora, although perhaps clumsily. Text Reads: I'd probably do the same... .. PFT was that an attempt to comfort me? It sounded like a threat Geez, you... I'm doing my best here... If you'd prefer I was threatening you I could always do that ...no

Page 24 of Battle Burn. Gelle throws down her opponent and Rora gets out of her machine and runs off aimlessly. Text Reads: It's never enough... just how much farther am I supposed to run? How much longer? until I stop yearning like a little kid... Page 25 of Battle Burn. Rora is crying frustratedly and Gelle is celebrating her win. Text Reads: no matter what I do... I only ever want more... AND WE HAVE A WINNER!!! Page 26 of Battle Burn. Rora returns from her run and finds Gelle waiting for her at the breakroom. Text Reads: ... told you I'd win. Page 27 of Battle Burn. Rora and Gelle are talking outside the break room. Text Reads: I managed just fine. so what's keeping you? ...I don't want this I'm so sick and tired... of being so damn desperate all the time... ...when I threw the swing that took your eye... The only thing I was talking about was how badly I didn't want to lose...

Rora is trying to do her work at her job while fighting back thoughts of the battle currently happening. Sound effects read: Creeeeeeeaaakk CLANG CLASH SHKRSH Page 22 of Battle Burn. Rora continues to fight off thoughts of the battle and to focus on her job. Text Reads: this thing moves like sludge... I can hardly even move... !? Page 23 of Battle Burn. In the Battle Gelle is fighting, her machine makes a deciding blow on her opponent. Sound effects read: THRUST VRRRRrrr

Page 16 of Battle Burn. Rora pulls Gelle back onto the machine with a mix of anger and worry. Text Reads: ... you uh... caught me... Thanks... that was... really impressive arm control! I still really think- ENOUGH ALREADY!!! Page 17 of Battle Burn. Rora is yelling at Gelle now. Text Reads: WHY ARE YOU SO OBSESSED?! Even if I did rematch you- without your depth perception- THERE'S NO WAY YOU'D BE ABLE TO BEAT ME! ...you talk about me quitting... but... I don't see why you're so eager to lost you're championship when you lost an eye to get it ...eager to lose? I only asked for a rematch you sure are confident ... Page 18 of Battle Burn. Gelle is replying to Rora. Text Reads: I was challenged by third down the other day ... what? do you want me to go cheer for you? nope, don't need it. 'cause I'm going to win. see... I'm confident too. one eyed or two I'm still the same woman who beat you don't go forgetting that. ... Page 19 of Battle Burn. We transition away from their conversation to the battle Gelle mentioned. Text Reads: ARE YOU FOLKS READY??? Gelles first match since becoming champion!!! In the left corner WEST piloting STRONG BLADE and in the right corner Gelle piloting FIREFLY

Page 12 of Battle Burn. They are conversing on the standing area in the machine the girl with the fluffy hair pilots. Text Reads: I'll let you have it if you rematch me!!! DON'T NEED IT. Just oooooooooone I don't understand how you are still struggling with the concept of retirement It's the most common thing in the world to retire from machine battles... you of all people must know you can't do this kind of thing forever... ...maybe so... Page 13 of Battle Burn. The two are still talking on the machine. Text Reads: but I'm certain no one was expecting you to quit so soon... why quit when you were only just at the apex? You easily could have made it back. thought: why do you thin- I just got sick of it is all. ... If I wasn't battling... would you go back? ... what? just what if. If I quit would you battle again? Page 14 of Battle Burn. They are still talking to eachother although its leaning more towards an argument. Text Reads: What are you talking about!? Why would you quit? you love this stuff! It wasn't that important to me okay?! I just was having fun with something I already knew a bit about! Just letting out some frustration!!! Sorry Rora- BUT I'M DONE NOW! SO JUST LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY!!! ! ooohh Page 15 of Battle Burn. Gelle, the girl with the gear patch, is falling but it caught by something. As it zooms out its revealed she was caught by the crane arm of the excavator. (Sort of, Rora also got her arm.) Text Reads: GELLE! GRK ? she caught me with the crane arm... yikes! Text Reads:

Page 8 of Battle Burn. The two people are conversing to eachother. Text Reads: Don't you feel like you're tied down? ... no... I don't feel much of anything at all, it's just a job. really... Angels Roar was so light on her feet though wasn't she?! I know you'd never throw out a battle bug like her! Is that what this is all about?? You want left over parts from my battle bug?? Page 9 of Battle Burn. The two people are still conversing with eachother. Text Reads: NO!!! I don't want to gut angels roar!!! I only-! ... Sorry... just- make sure to keep her, okay? for the memories if nothing else... It's my property and I'll do what I want ... but... I wasn't planning to get rid of her, anyway Page 10 of Battle Burn. The conversation fades off and we cut to later with the gear patch girl is looking at junk. She obviously finds something that interests her. Text Reads: She was a champion! You gotta take care of her ya know!!! I forgot how much of a nerd she is for this stuff It's really not that serious... That kind of attitude... yeah, yeah... Is exactly why I retired... don't you have some garbage to rifle around in?... Page 11 of Battle Burn. The girl with the gear shaped eyepatch is back to bothering the girl with the fluffy hair. Text Reads: Feast your eyes on a exocurver in totally working condition!!! don't climb on my machine!!! This is a god-tier find!!! ...does it really work? hehe~ even you're impressed! I'll have to try hooking it up but it looks good to me! hmm... people really don't know what they're tossing out sometimes costs a fortune to replace something like this... ... you know...

Page 4 of Battle Burn. The two people are still conversing in the breakroom. Text reads: It's not as if we're friends well... That's certainly true... but it's only natural since I'm your Fated Rival NO, YOU ARE NOT. give it a rest Gelle.. I'm RETIRED You're the champion now. Can't you just be happy with that? That win hardly counts IT COUNTS!!! Page 5 of Battle Burn. Their conversation in the breakroom ends and the fluffy haired girl leaves to go back to her work. Text reads: Thats not the general consensus. what, now you care what other people think? Don't be insulting! Of course not! then it doesn't matter. Regaurdless, it has nothing to do with me anymore... I'm finishing my shift, be good and GO AWAY! yeah, yeah~ Page 6 of Battle Burn. It is a another day, and the fluffy haired girl once again runs into the girl with the gear shaped patch. Text reads: ... GET OUT OF MY CHAIR! wow! You're the one who said to tell you when I'm in the lot! how else am I gonna... I MEANT TO COME TO THE OFFICE!!! and run into your weird coworkers? yikes, no way WHATEVER JUST GET OUT OF THERE!!! Page 7 of Battle Burn. The fluffy haired girl has pulled the girl with the gear patch out of her machine and their conversation continues. Text Reads: Didn't realize you were so attached to this rust bucket. I just didn't want you messing around with company equipment. Like I'd steal from this fossil! ...what? ... Doesn't piloting this stiff thing feel... sluggish?

BATTLE BURN: comic I crammed out in like 4 days for a queer mecha jam a little while back
#yuri #comic #ocs
(1/9)
The cover page for my comic Battle Burn. There is a drawing of a girl standing next to some sort of mech. The words BATTLE BURN are written behind the mech and the girl. "by AriKatDraws" is also written in small text below the title. First page of Battle Burn. A girl with fluffy hair is working some sort of excavator. She is shocked when a hand pops out of the junk that her excavator arm just picked up. Page 2 of Battle Burn. The girl with pink hair is surprised, and the person stuck in the pile is revealed to be a girl with a gear like patch covering one eye. Then it cuts to them sitting around in some sort of breakroom. Text Reads: HUH?! How'd you even get there?! h-hi I am glad you didn't crush me... NO SHIT! Seriously... you have got to start telling me when you're in the lot. Or better yet just stop coming. Page 3 of Battle Burn. The two people are conversing in the breakroom. Text Reads: Come now~ you must know better than anyone- How could I bear to leave such perfectly good parts lying around to rot?? My, How sustainable. you know I can always just report you. Are you really in a position to be talking to law enforcement? ... Fine- Do whatever you want... Just be a little more careful! You're lucky it was my shift. If someone else catches you I'm pretending I don't know you. Whaaa~t couldn't you just say i'm visiting or- NO. I don't even know why I humor you...
