Alternative Power One-shot [AiE]

"What do you mean? That Equestria's coveted hydro-electric power source is second-rate compared to this so called 'human'?"

>"N-no Princess Luna, w-well y-yes..."

"Spit it out."

>"It's just that each town require a dam of immense size to receive power. "

>The guard chooses his next words carefully.

>"From what we can tell, just one of Anonymous the Human's own 'solar energy panels' can power multiple cities from one location."

"And what does this 'Anonymous the Human' plan to do with all this power?"

>"He plans on creating his own country independent of you and your sister's rule. In fact Princess, he sent a letter to both of you on the matter."

>The guard unfurls a scroll and clears his throat.

>"Dear Princess Celestia and Luna, your method of power source sucks ass. I can't keep my appliances on whenever I leave the house. Imma make my own country with its own power better than yours. Love Anonymous."

>The guard finishes and levitates the scroll towards you.

>"There is this post-script that uses a strange words we thought you should see."

>Using your own magic to grab the scroll, you quickly scan the note for the passage mentioned.

>"P.S.: Lol you still use hydro-electric power. GTFO"

>Raising a hoof to your chin, you ponder the available options.

"It's simple, implement a constant cloud cover over his home during the day and night. Remove his main source and soon we shall see who is superior."

>"As you wish Princess."

 

-Two Weeks Later-

 

>"Princess! Princess Luna!"

>The guard skids to a stop before bowing at your hooves.

>"Anonymous the Human has sent you a letter."

>You smile; no doubt he wishes to submit himself to your rule and proclaim Equestria's superiority.

>Unfurling the note, your eyes widen in rage.

>"Dear Princess Luna, nice try with the constant cloud cover. Thanks to the constant wind from all those Pegasi I invented a power source that utilizes wind energy."

>"P.S. Lulz try harder."

>Crumpling the letter you direct your attention to the guard.

"He wishes for us to try harder?! BANISH HIM! BANISH HIM TO A DESERTED ISLAND!"

 

-Six months Later-

 

>You're sitting in the dining room with a nice cup of coffee and a moon-cake.

>One of your guards guard comes bursting in through the doors.

>"Princess Luna, another letter from Anonymous arrived today."

"WHAT?! WAS HE NOT BANISHED?"

>"We took him to a deserted island like you commanded, but apparently he's developed another source of power with materials he's found there."

>The guard unfurls a scroll and begins reading it to you.

>"Dear Princess Moonbutt, I thought we were more civil than that, I mean banishment? C'mon."

>Rage rising, the guard fails to notice and continues reading the message aloud.

>"Anyway thanks to some radioactive rocks on the island, I developed Nuclear power with the help of some griffon traders who passed by. Now I live like a king in the Griffon Empire. Love, Anonymous."

>"P.S. Lol"

>All you can do is scream in frustration.
