The ensuing blast sent horrifying screeches echoing throughout each esper’s mind and, of much more urgent concern, set fire to Gale’s jacket. In a panic, the blue-haired esper conjured a swirling whirlwind around herself, while grabbing Ashley and pulling her along as she ran to put some distance between them and the continuing effects of Sofron’s various melodies. However, Ashley was far more worried about the fact that not only was her partner still on fire, but she was close enough to set [i]her[/i] on fire as well, and was even [i]amplifying[/i] the flames by adding a strong wind to the mix! Thus, in something of a panic of her own, the Knight of Tomorrow decided to take the most useful course of action she could think of. Tightening her grip on her partner, she yanked Gale down to the inundated floor, the blue-haired esper hopefully being too mentally stunned to resist, or even notice, until they were both on the ground. With luck, this course of action would both extinguish the flames on Gale (and possibly on Ashley herself) as well as grant both espers some cover from any further attacks Sofron chose to make.
