I'd have thought that would be a situation for GERWALK more than Battroid - sustained jetwash would do a better job of dissipating the smoke and probably scatter the fire pile as well, and a slower approach would be less likely to smack into a wall or lose Quasimodo to maneuvers or wind force. But then, I'm used to living in G for the various Macross games, so I pretty much always think it looks like a job for birdie-mode unless it's robot kung fu or straight line speed.
It also brings up the one problem I do definitely remember from long-ago classroom discussions, namely, what about the long term? Is Esmerelda going to just squat in a church for the rest of her life? It's in the middle of bloody Paris so it's not like she can sneak out across a back field and escape into the forest or something. Here of course Muck can whisk her and Phoebus away by air, though there's still the challenge of getting them settled somewhere they'd actually be safe from the Church after crossing a cardinal so drastically. Maybe England, or somewhere in Africa or Arabia since it's still 50-odd years before the Church of England gets founded? It's 1482; Columbus won't even set sail "to the East Indies" for another decade, so the New World is out.
