"It's fine, it's fine, I have equipment that's heavier than you!" Nanoha laughed as she shifted her weight experimentally. At least Inaba was flesh and blood, as opposed to the cold metals of the Fortress. She was taller than Nanoha herself, but that minor awkwardness would hardly matter once they started moving.
"ACS Drive!" Nanoha declared, causing massive wings composed of magical energy to sprout on both sides of Raising Heart's spear head. ACS, short for Accelerated Charge System, was very much exactly what it sounded like. It increased Nanoha's speed immensely, and generated a barrier around her so she could crash right through whatever was in her way. It was an unsubtle spell with unsubtle applications - some would even say inelegant, but it did what it had to well.
"Remember, don't open your mouth or you'll bite your tongue! If you have to say anything, just think it really hard and I'll probably hear it!" She shouted just before kicking off into a massive dive, charging at terminal velocity towards the ground. Of course she pulled out before she kissed the dirt for real, but it would have been a close call for anyone who was not an expert in flying.
That was, of course, just the beginning. Spotting their first enemy, a giant T-Rex-esque creature, (giant even by T-rex standards,) Nanoha shifted course after it, pulling up into a slight ascent. Gnashing teeth rapidly drew closer as the mage continued to accelerate, the stomping lizard more than eager to make a snack out of them.
It really was too bad, because its teeth completely failed to penetrate Nanoha's barrier before it was knocked flat on its back by the sheer force of her charge, but it was a good try.
