Daniel ran for his life, hoping that his dupe worked. He was then aware of a tingling sensation behind him, which probably wasn't a good sign. He risked taking a glance behind him and saw Amber having caught up to him and was now launching fireballs at him. He constructed a giant pane of solid fire behind him and left it in one spot, having the fireballs crash and get absorbed into it. Hopefully it would also stop Amber, at least for a second. After all, it was solid, and at their velocity, it would definitely leave a mark should she crash into it. However, he wasn't taking chances and muttered, "Mach 3 time," and started running at his top speed, once again breaking the sound barrier, this time running much faster than he did before.
