(Sometimes being a prereader sucks. Just where did I read that tidbit? Anyway.) Faster than Nanoha for as long as the electrons keep coming, not as fast as Fate even on Guardian Jupiter's best day and Fate's worst.
One of the places that's in is the fight with Jadeite at the end of DW-S 2, so yeah, it's been published. <grin>
Quote:It took me only an afternoon to figure out how Silverbolt flew
instinctively, not long after she joined the Warriors. Figuring
out how to do it *myself* -- that took me nearly four decades.
But once I'd mastered it, I could do it almost without thought
with the right song: a set of rotating and counter-rotating
currents creating a "harness" with which I hung myself on the
Earth's own magnetic field, paired with a pure brute force ion
drive built from more current-driven fields, strong enough to
push me at a couple hundred KPH in atmosphere.
