Just over a decade ago, two budding entrepreneurs made a major discovery: changelings convert love into power. And that power could be extracted.
Spurred on by the sudden infusion of energy, Equestria has rapidly industrialized and modernized. Transformed, technology and society has advanced by leaps and bounds - all thanks to Flim/Flam Corp and their changeling batteries.
Not every pony is accepting, however. Not every pony is okay with mass-produced changelings kept in tanks to turn Equestria's ambient love into electricity.
After years of leading her rebel organization on a campaign against the changes, the former Princess Cadance has finally made a breakthrough. Though it has cost her dearly, she's found the key to bringing down Flim/Flam, freeing the changelings and returning Equestria to its normal state.
Unfortunately, Shining Armor - her personal Javert - is blocking the only exit.
Written for Imposing Sovereigns III.
Have a helping of Princess Cadance and Integrity.
Or alternately, Shining Armor and Justice.
