"Hurry." Carl shook his hand, letting down a long rope. "Hold tight, I'll pull you up."
Amy, her face alight with ecstatic relief, struggled to her feet and grabbed the rope, immediately feeling her body lighten and soar upwards.
A water sphere appeared around her, causing incoming bullets to lose their momentum and fall.
"It seems I arrived just in time." Carl handed her a Potion. "For healing."
With a thought, the four corners of the Magic Flying Carpet simultaneously billowed, carrying the two towards the sky.
"Carl!"
A shout came from below, from Gavin. "I'm here, come save me!"
"Sorry?" Carl lowered his head, shaking it gently. "You see the size of this Magic Flying Carpet. It can handle one person, but with two people, none of us would escape."
"So..." He extended his hand, waving politely. "Good luck."
Gavin's earlier actions had not gone unnoticed; Carl naturally did not want to deal with such a 'partner.'
Amy, a look of pity on her face, started to say something.
