Lucky Rabbit's Fate 2 (Nanoha Hypno) (Patreon)

Alright! Sorry for the delay folks, here's story two - a commissioned sequel to a story I did last month! I hope you enjoy.

-

Things were going well for the Grand. Business was booming, propelled to infamy by their consistent cast of cute bunny girls serving in every position from the bar to the tables – and many walking the floors making sure every customer’s needs were met. The money was good, the patrons were happy, and the staff were smiling every day.

Granted, that last one was because pretty much every bunny girl under the Grand’s roof was enslaved, bound by magical contracts to happily serve and obey the management, having all been invited into the elusive VIP lounge and tricked into indebting themselves… But if you ignored that part then everything was great.

Lady Blanc, the white wearing bunny girl in charge of said VIP lounge, certainly felt that way. Things were on the up, and she was quite dedicated to making sure they stayed that way. Well, as a general rule, anyway. Right now, she was dedicated to enjoying this lovely glass of wine that her newest favourite had brought her.

“Ahhh. Ruby, you’re a delight,” she told the red suited bunny girl, who had once gone by another name entirely, smacking her on the ass for good measure. “How did I ever get by without you?”

The bunny blinked with vapid red eyes. “Without me? Like, what do you mean, Mistress?”

To which Blanc just snorted and waved a dismissive hand. “Don’t worry your pretty little empty head about it, Dear. Now, I believe we have a few new guests to welcome to the VIP lounge, don’t we? Hm…” She tapped a screen and highlighted a few camera feeds from casino security. “I think this little lovely here is due a proper invite…”

And that was when the west wall exploded in a bright pink blast, vaporising the stonework and revealing the room to the open sky. Beyond the hole, wrapped in infernal white flames, a shadowy figure clad in a white and blue dressed hovered like a demon come to collect souls.

“… O-or,” Blanc said, carefully placing her screen aside. “Someone can just invite themselves. Hello there, Miss! Can we get you a drink?”

“You can give me Fate back,” was the answer, as Nanoha Takamichi, fabled Ace of Aces, touched down on the carpet, her weapon Raising Heart fully extended at her side. Her voice was low, and promised a great deal of pain for anyone who refused her. “And then I might not destroy your entire lair.”

“Ah.” Well, it had been worth a shot. “I’m afraid I don’t know that name, Miss, but…”

There was a rising whine as Nanoha’s staff began to charge. “She’s standing right next to you.”

Oh riiiiiiight. Damnit, she really needed to start remembering her bunny’s former names, didn’t she? A glance to her left showed her that Ruby, the ever-lovely former Fate T. Haralown, was looking about as if to find the mysterious woman that their new guest was looking for. Ah, she was so adorably dim. Oh well. That just left one option then.

“Security!” Blanc yelled, tackling Ruby and dragging her to cover beneath the table as dozens of turrets descended from the ceiling and began blasting, filling the room with a cacophony of magical bolts and explosions. The two bunny girls huddled together, keeping their heads down as the other occupants of the lounge panicked and ran, and the sounds of battle intensified. By the time the barrage ended, they were the only two left in the room.

Holding her white ears down close to her head, Blanc peeked up over the edge of the table. Surely nothing could have survived that…? She squinted, trying to see through the smoke…

… Only for it to clear, revealing an untouched Ace, safely shielded in a magical bubble, her expression severed. Without a word, the red haired mage lifted a hand, pointing a single finger out, and with calm, methodical strikes, reduced each and every turret down to molten slag with precise magical blasts.

“Well shit,” Blanc muttered, ducking back down under the table. “Really thought that would work. Okay then. Plan C.”

“Plan C?” Her adorable bunny companion blinked at her. “What’s Plan C, Mistress?”

“Oh, it’s simple,” Blanc answered, grinning. “I just-“

And that was when the table was ripped away, hoisted into the air by Nanoha with just one hand. Blanc felt the gaze of death upon her.

“Fucking hell,” she yelped, scrambling behind Ruby. “What kind of devil are you?!?”

“I gave you a chance,” The Ace replied simply, her calm voice in total, unbelievable contrast with the rage that radiated off of her. With a flick of her wrist she sent the gambling table flying, smashing it into the bar at the far end of the room. “You were the one who decided that you wanted to do it this way. Now.” Raising Heart rose once again, tip glowing with energy. “Give me back Fate-chan.”

“W-w-wait wait wait!” Blanc stammered, sweat pouring down her brow. “I- you wouldn’t- I mean…” She swallowed, and then grabbed Ruby by the shoulders, holding her between herself and the incarnation of devastation before her. “B-be careful! If you shoot me now, you’ll hit your beloved Fate-chan as well! You don’t want to do that, right? S-so, just calm down, and maybe we can work something out…”

Ruby, she noticed, was still looking around, trying to locate this Fate woman. Maybe she’d made her a bit too much of an airhead…

Nanoha paused. Her frown deepened. “Disgusting,” she muttered. “Using my wife as a hostage to try and get your way. I won’t forgive you.” The floor cracked beneath her heel. “… Fate-chan, this is going to hurt a bit, okay?”

“Wow,” Ruby giggled. “She really likes this Fate girl, huh Mistress? That’s so sweet! And she’s a total cutie too~”

“Sh-shut up!” Blanc was panicking now, her face almost as pale as her suit. “You… You wouldn’t! You’d never shoot through her to get to me! Are you a monster?!”

“Raising Heart?”

“All safeguards at 100%, my master. Lethal shot disabled.”

Nanoha nodded as the room began to glow, the charge for her attack gathering. “Fate-chan will be fine. And she’ll be really annoyed at me if I didn’t take you down now.”

She really meant it. Holy god in heaven, she actually meant it. What kind of people was she dealing with here?! She was just a scam artist/casino owner/brainwasher of babes. She had no business dealing with mecha in human skin! It seemed… that she only had one option.

“Alright! Alright, fine already!” She raised her hands in grudging surrender. “You win. I give up! You can have your precious Fate-chan back.”

Hey, any gambler had to know when to fold – and this was definitely, definitely, folding time. No, no, she definitely wanted to live, thank you. She was in well over her head and it was time to check out!

There was a pause. The laser kept charging. Blanc started to sweat. “H-hey,” she tried weakly, nervously looking about for more cover to hide behind. There wasn’t any. Damn. “If you take me down then I can’t tell you how to turn her back to n-normal, you know?”

“…” A moment’s hesitation. Aha. “Tell me.”

Blanc felt a grin form back on her face. “How about we play a little game for-“

“Raising Heart, Starlight Breaker.” Orbs of blazing pink light appeared around Nanoha, all charging up for an even bigger attack. The world began to take on a pink hue.

“W-wait, no!” Immediately the bunny girl’s plans were scrapped. “I- I meant, uh! Uh. Okay! I’ll tell you, just stop!”

Nanoha didn’t say anything, her intense stare pinning Blanc in place. Slowly, the tip of her weapon dipped. The casino owner understood she was being given a chance – and that if she blew it this time, that was it. Right. Time to work miracles under pressure…

“S-so, she’s, um. She’s bound by a magical contract…”

“Release it.” The instruction was simple, to the point, and powered by all the malevolence of a dark star.

“I- I- Well, I don’t h-have it on me…” She trembled. Oh, this could end so very badly for her. “The contracts are all stored in the vault. I’d, I’d have to unlock it and get her contract out to nullify it… I mean, if you’ll let me go and do that then-Eep.”

The way the pink orbs had just intensified had informed Blanc quite clearly that she would not be going anywhere.

“Where’s the vault?” Nanoha asked instead.

Answering was clearly not optional. Hesitantly, Blanc pointed towards the far side of the room – where a solidly reinforced metal wall awaited. “The lock’s behind the bar, and-WAIT!”

“What?” Once again Nanoha paused, her eyes flicking back to the bunny from where they had been – aiming her staff, complete with starlight breaker, at the vault door. Blanc wasn’t sure she could actually blast her way through… But she really didn’t want to find out.

“You- you- you can’t just-! I mean, ah.” She ran her hands through her hair, her expression frantic. “If, if you destroy the contract you might not break the spell! Anything could happen! Her mind could be wiped clean or, or something!” It was a small chance, but a chance none the less. If that sort of thing happened then Blanc had no doubt she would not be leaving this building alive. “H-here, I’ll give you the key, you can just take the thing, okay?”

“Hm.” Nanoha didn’t say anything – but she also didn’t blast through the vault, so maybe some progress had been made. Whatever – the bunny girl would take it. Nervously, she pulled the key from around her neck, and carefully dropped it down Ruby’s top. At the Ace’s glare she chuckled nervously. “S-safe ground, right?”

Then she gently patted Ruby’s back and urged her forward, resisting the ingrained urge to slap her on the ass. That would not go well right now. “Go on, Dear. Go deliver my gift.”

Ruby gave her a quizzical look, but didn’t object, obediently strutting forwards and, as her programming demanded, wrapping her arms around her new patron’s shoulders and leaning in. “Well hey there cutie~”

For the first time, Blanc saw something break through the Ace’s devil façade. Nanoha’s eyes widened, and her face went flush. She quite clearly didn’t know where to look. “F-fate-chan, what are you…?”

Ruby giggled. “Don’t you want your gift?” She asked, pushing her chest forward into her partner’s face – her cleavage window wide before the Ace’s uncertain eyes.

“I…” Swallowing, more than a little distracted at her wife’s blatant flaunting of her body, Nanoha gathered her courage and reached in…

“Huh? Wait, what’s thi-“

Foom

The device she pulled out was blue, glassy, and most importantly not key shaped. But before she’d had time to register those facts properly, it had lit up directly in her face. A shrill sound pierced the air, and her eyes lit up with the same light, a dull, lifeless blue that remained steady, even as the device powered down.

“Huh?” Ruby blinked, looking down, before rubbing her body up against a suddenly listless Nanoha, incidentally knocking the device from her hand and down to the floor. “Heeey, are you okay in there?”

“Heh. She’s juuuust fine, Ruby,” Blanc answered, the smirk on her face very apparent in her smug voice, strutting across the blasted floor to grasp the stunned Nanoha by the chin. “In fact, I think she’s decided to join you! Why don’t you go and get her a nice shiny bunny suit, hm dear?”

“Oh!” Ruby clapped, smiling happily. “A new sister! I love it when new sisters join! I’ll be right back!”

She turned and skipped away, utterly oblivious to the destruction and devastation around her, or the entranced partner she was leaving behind her. The bunny girl in white waited until she’d gone before she turned to gloat. “Too bad, dear. You might be the Ace of Aces… But I’m the one who had an ace up my sleeve.” She chuckled as she released her attacker, leaving her to stand blankly as she bent over to pick up the fallen device.

“A compact neural tangler. Just the kind of device that keeps rowdy girls like you in line.” She chuckled, and then sighed. “Ah, but they are sadly temporary. In a few hours you’ll be back to your normal self again – and I need you free willed to contract you. A shame – you’d make a wonderful full-time bun, but… Well, it’s clear I’ve overstayed my welcome on this world anyway. So congrats – you win. I’ll disappear, and you get your precious Fate-chan back… Well, such as she is, anyway. If you want to get her back to normal, well, I’m afraid you’re on your own there.” She patted the drooling Nanoha on the cheek. “Good luck!”

“I fooound one~” Ruby returned, hurrying back with a blue sequined outfit in her arms, a pair of blue bunny ears in hand. “I think she’ll look really cute as a Saphire!”

“Ohh, good idea.” Blanc laughed, stepping aside. “Well, I’ll leave her in your care. In fact – give her the special welcome package.”

“Oh!” Ruby’s eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, dropping the uniform on the floor. “Can I? Can I really?”

“Of course~” The bunny girl laughed, already turning to leave. “That should keep the two of you entertained long enough for me to get everything packed up and out of here. You enjoy your girl to your heart’s content. I’m sure she’ll love it.”

“Yay!” Immediately, the red coloured bun was wrapped around Nanoha, who remained limp, simply standing and staring into space. “Here, I’ll give you the bestest introduction to bein’ a bun in the business~!”

“Oh, see that you do!” Blancc called over her shoulder, walking away. “She’ll be quite impressionable for a bit yet – do a good job and I think you’ll find she’ll be a lot more fun when she’s done cooking~”

She vanished through the door, off to sort out her evacuation – but of course, by that point no one was listening to her. Nanoha was being gently eased out of her white barrier jacket, while Ruby was busy jamming her tongue down the other woman’s throat, hands sliding under her top and starting to explore…

… And before long, her brain blanked partner began to respond in kind…

-

A few hours later, Nanoha blearily blinked her way back to consciousness. Fate was snuggled against her, her naked body half draped over Nanoha’s own, her red bunny uniform tangled around her feet. She was still half dressed in a blue uniform of the same, pressed down to below her chest, and rolled up to above her waist. The less said about where their hands were, the better.

Her memory was a bit of a blur, but it felt like she’d had a pretty fun time… Well, aside from the villain getting the drop on her and getting away. Oops. Well, at least she got Fate back… Though she was still ‘Ruby’ for the moment. She’d better get to fixing that…

“Come on, dear,” she said, rising and lifting her bride into her arms. “Let’s go find your contract. I want you back to normal and back in our bed at home before sunset tonight.”

And in her arms, Fate giggled and nuzzled closer. Nanoha smiled, feeling her heart melt. She looked so cute like that…

-

Honestly, things were back to normal surprisingly quickly. Fate was immediately apologetic – rather humiliated at what had happened – and incredibly grateful to Nanoha for rescuing her. Nanoha, for her part, was just glad to have her wife back and in her proper mind. She explained to the blonde a few times that it was only thanks to Fate’s own caution recording everything as she’d investigated that she’d known what was going on – Bardiche had sent her the files immediately once he realised his mistress was compromised – but it didn’t help much.

It was still bugging the woman a few nights later as she lay in bed beside her partner. “Are you really sure it’s okay…?”

“It’s fine, Fate…” Nanoha stroked the blonde’s hair, trying to relax her. Her wife never did handle anxiety well. “Really. You didn’t do anything wrong. You were trying to help those people…”

“I guess…” Fate sighed. “I know you’re right. It’s just embarrassing, you know? I don’t want anyone but you to see me like that Nanoha…”

Nanoha just giggled and wrapped her arms around the blonde’s middle. “I got a pretty good look at you, don’t worry.” Mm, she had to admit, she was finding it a lot harder to control herself after her experience with ‘Ruby’. It was hard for her to keep her hands off her wife at the best of times, but now…

“Nanohaaaa…” The blonde couldn’t help but smile, but it quickly faded. “… Sorry. I don’t mean to be such a downer. I’ll… I’ll get over it eventually. I just wish I could stop thinking about it for a bit…”

“Oh…” The naked Ace paused, and then slowly began to smile. “If that’s what you want, Bunhun~”

Fate blinked as the words flowed in through her ears, striking some strange switch hidden deep inside of her. Her mind turned fuzzy, emptying out of stress and worry. Her sharp eyes glazed and turned dim. Hip lips curled in a confused pout. “H-huh?”

And Nanoha giggled again, nibbling on her beloved’s ear. “Feel any better?”

“Oh!” Fate rolled over, her red eyes bright and empty. “Saphie! Hi!”

“Hi Ruby,” The brunette smiled. It had been harder than she’d hoped to completely nullify Fate’s contract with the casino. The best the Ace had been able to do had been to change the conditions so that she was normal… most of the time. She hadn’t really planned on using the woman’s trigger unless she really had to, but Fate had seemed so glum, and she had kind of asked. Plus she really needed to get laid, she’d been dripping for days. “Wanna have some fun?”

“Sure!” As if the dim little bun could give any other answer~ Of course, Nanoha didn’t take much time to reflect on that, soon having her hands full with a randy little blonde bunny of her very own. And that was a jackpot she was going to enjoy for a long, long time.
