** Those "gradual injuries" Alice inflicted required [[{{BFG}} big guns]], [[{{BFB}} big bombs]], [[CarFu big cars]], [[SummonBiggerFish big beasts]], [[ArmiesAreUseless big backup]] and [[{{BFS}} big knives]]. If she had not lucked into finding a single bit of that literally huge firepower, she would surely have died (and by those final few seconds [[WhyWontYouDie she certainly thought she was going to]]).
