The cave was... not the best location, strategically. But needless to say, Saber did not have much choice but to pursue those who had ran off into it. They needed to stay together and form a plan. After all, a dragon was a dangerous beast... and so they were lead to a deeper portion of the cave. And there... it was like a dragon, but it did not seem as if it was the beast they sought. While Saber did not back down from a fight, she also did not seek unnecessary conflict. This creature did not seem to care about their presence. It had swiftly fallen back to sleep. If it was undisturbed, they could simply pass it. It would not have been so worrying if Saber felt that everyone present would be able to combat the beast...

... And then the flaming skeleton man attacked it. Yes, because that was the correct choice here, attack the unknown creature while there were many possibly quite vulnerable people in the area, awakening it. They could have simply turned around and not risked those who may not be able to combat the creature, or moved past it to the exit. There were many options that did not involve putting these people in danger.

Saber was left with little choice then to engage and slay the creature as quickly as she could, or at least keep its attention on her until everyone else was out. Putting on a burst of speed, the King of Knights raced forward across the cave floor. Clutching Excalibur's hilt in both hands, she made to cleave through the draconic beast's chest, slice as deep as she could to do as much damage as possible before it could turn its aggression on anyone else.

"Leave! Now!" she called to the others, "The rider felt like it was necessary to attack, and now we have no choice!"

Going to the cave was stupid. There was no room to move for anyone who specialized in flight. And, well... it's not like there was anything else to do but what the brunette had suggested. And so Nonon drifted after Nanoha. Above her, of course, she wasn't about to fly below the girl. Especially if she was following her, that made it even more important. The forest was rather lush and full of vegetation... and also some huge ugly thing. Well. That was that, then. It didn't seem to be any kind of dragon, either, but it was eating, and facing away from the redhead. Well, time to blow it up!

... Hey, it looked like the magical girl had the right idea. And she even fired pink stuff. Well, she was dumb about other stuff, but choice of color was certainly good.

The cannons on Nonon's shoulders lit up and erupted forwards, a shower of hearts and musical notes tearing through the sky towards their ground-bound target.
