She hadn't time to aim properly, since Alice had to evade all those debris, but she managed to keep Tsumia busy in defense. When an opening appeared, she fired with the rifle. Tsumia, even in her handicapped position, could evade the shot. But the bullet bounced in the wall and hit a piece of the giant clock from the tower. A heavy cog felt right in Tsumia's head.<br/><br/>Alice saw everything. The cog hitting the girl's head, she losing her senses and falling down to the first floor of the tower. The blonde ran towards the girl. She didn't even think, her body just moved. Tsumia wouldn't survive such a fall and Alice couldn't just idly watch the girl falling.<br/><br/>Jumping forward with all her strength, Alice barely reached one of Tsumia's wing. She grabbed it and fell down with the girl. Thankfully, Alice's jump made it possible for them to reach one of the handrails in the stairs that gave access to the roof, three floors down.<br/><br/>Alice's arm hurt like hell when she grabbed the handrail, but she didn't let go of it, neither she released Tsumia. If the brunette was a few pounds heavy, maybe Alice wouldn't be able to hold her like she did. The blonde stood a few seconds in that position, waiting the pain on her arm to give in, just a little. Once it did, she looked around, trying to get an idea about how to get out of there alive. Wreckage was still falling from the roof, her strength was almost drained and she had no way to climb up to the stairs from the handrail, not with Tsumia's life on her hand. What to do?<br/><br/>The stair right under their position was still safe. There was no other way, she had to throw Tsumia there. She could think about saving herself later. Grunting in pain, Alice began to swing Tsumia towards the stairs. When she got enough momentum, she released the girl. With a loud thud, the brunette fell safe on the stairs. Alice sighed, relieved.<br/><br/>With both arms available, it was a lot easier to climb up to the stairs. Alice ran down the stairs, to the place she left Tsumia. The walls and stairs were shaking and she wasn't sure if the entire tower would stand the damage done to the roof. She needed to get way from there, as soon as possible. The girl reached Tsumia and tried to wake her up. There was no response. Alice tried to lift the girl, but her arm began to hurt and she had no strength left. To climb down all the stair dragging the unconscious girl along was impossible. But there was a window nearby.<br/><br/>Alice stood up, reached the window and looked down through it. Damn, that was a big fall! She saw down there, in the street, several wooden carts filled with vegetables and fruits. There was one covered with a sailcloth and it seemed pretty full. Could it soften the fall of the two girls? Well, at that point, there was one just way to discover.<br/><br/>Dragging Tsumia to the window, Alice sat down in the edge, facing the interior of the tower. She hugged Tsumia and looked down, aiming the cart. Then, closing her eyes, she threw herself out of the window. The blonde couldn't discover if the cart indeed saved them, because she lost her senses as soon as she hit it.
