Chapter one: The Town of Everglade.

Chapter one The Town of Everglade:

The town of Everglade was a peaceful town atop a mountain, fifty miles north from canterlot. It was a fairly large factory town, full of happiness and joy. Ponies, Pegasi, Unicorn's, Zebras, dogs and dragons alike lived and worked with absolute harmony. Everglade was often viewed as the perfect town to live in. Work and housing was always available to any pony who decided to move their.  Everglade was a town that has always shown the industrial might of celestia and her grand empire.

The citizens of Everglade heard roomers of Luna, Celestia's sister, talking about how vile and tyrannical Celestia truly is, of course no one in Everglade ever believed the supposed roomers coming from the other towns and cities, after all Celestia was a fair and kind princess. Until Luna's rebellion came to life over the course of a night. A great battle was fought in canterlot, Celestia's great army vs the rag tag group of rebels that called them selves the New Lunar Republic. Of course the news of the battle came as a shock to the fair citizens of Everglade. No one could believe it, Luna's rebellion came to life and actually fought against Celestia's grand army. Although the N.L.R suffered a loss, they were not defeated. They escaped and were heading west. The citizens of Everglade where worried and almost all production from the town halted all throughout the day. The citizens, in shock and awe, gathered around the city hall to form a plan of action, in case Luna's band of thugs decided to head north to capture they're fair city.

A few hours passed and finally the mayor of everglade came out of the city hall and told the citizens that a detachment of Celestial guards where on they're way to protect Everglade. The entire town frolicked with joy, as the news of the Celestial guardians sunk into the hearts of the citizens of Everglade. Night came and the people of everglade were still happy, yet worried. News from the Ponyville City Radio stated that the N.L.R have ceased control of Ponyville. The citizens of Everglade were again in shock and brought to more worry. As the night passed the celestial guards arrived. The citizens of Everglade eagerly awaited their heroes and protectors and the mayor of the city stated that this day would be a day of celebration and praise to Celestia. For that time things were wonderful, the party was grand and glorious. The food was plentiful, the mood was esthetic and the atmosphere smelled of sweats and fire crackers. The day after the party, however, was grueling, depressing, and disastrous.

Celestias guards eventually turned into task masters, slave drivers and law bringers. The people where whipped and beaten for not complying with the simplest of orders. Ponies disappeared throughout the day as the factories kept on pumping beyond their supposed production limit. Faster and faster the factories worked. Keeping up with the sudden domestic demand of simple items such as clothes, furniture, and even food. Celestia's guards grew worse with each passing day. Public beatings where common place, numerous public service announcements scared people into submission. After a few weeks, the once simple domestic factories of Everglade turned into factories of war and destruction. All factories where converted to either munitions factories or vehicle factories. The once joyful town of Everglade turned into the gloomiest, spiteful, and the most agonizing town in all of equestria.

Chapter Three: Everglade's Night fall.

Chapter three Everglade's night fall:

Within two days of speaking to Luna's army via radio. The entire Derpy Legion (three hundred thousand strong) arrived in everglade to assist the citizens. The Derpy Legion helped set up fortifications and started preparing the city for war once again. For three days things seemed like they where normally. The Derpy Legion worked well with the citizens of Everglade as they worked and bolstered their defenses. All was thought to be peaceful once again in the city of Everglade. Until the beginning of the fourth day. A loud rumbling as well as the marching of an entire army  could be heard a few miles south of the city.

The city watch reported that half of the celestial army being exactly one million strong, was on its way, marching inch by inch to the glorious factory city. The Derpy Legion was frantically on the radio with the High Lunar command, pleading for reinforcements. Yet the only response from lunar command and Luna herself was "you are on your own, we Will not help you.". The entire Derpy Legion then broke all ties with the New lunar republic. The people now in utter terror and fear then looked to the leadership of Derpy Hooves. As the Celestial army came closer and closer, Derpy quickly put a plan into action. Setting up old cannons and adding last minute fortifications to the entire city. The People of Everglade and the Entire Derpy Legion where dug in as deep as possible.

Derpy told her people that they must move away from here. Very far away. The people looked at her and then the ruins of a once great and prosperous city. They then decided to take whatever they could with them, filling cars and wagons alike with personal goods, weapons, armor, food, equipment, and various necessities. Derpy then lead her people away from the ruins of Everglade. For days, Derpy and her people traveled up north, strangely under the cover of the storm. Both the celestial and Lunar armies tried to take the people of Derpy, yet they were always thwarted by the storm. Finnaly after twelve days and nights of traveling, Derpy and her people stopped in the middle of a barren and cold wasteland.

Derpy then spoke "Here, here is where we make our new city.". The people stopped, set up camp and started building their new city. They worked as they have always worked before, in peace and happiness. Derpy Worked with her people as her people worked with her. In the course of six months the new city of Everstorm was born. Cleverly named after the storm that has followed, stayed and protected them throughout their journey. Derpy then, on the final day of building the city, looked to her people and said "you are my people and this land is my dominion. WE ARE NOW THE DERPY DOMINION.". The people cheered and jumped for absolute joy, thanking Derpy for saving them and leading them to the new land.

Years passed, as Luna's rebellion turned into a full on nation with its own army and economy. Stories where told about The N.L.R and how nice it seemed to live there. Factory workers would often talk about joining the rebellion, but were quickly snatched up by Celestias guardians. The radio news would often speak of large battles that have ragged across equestrian. Though the citizens of Everglade knew this due to the sound of flak cannons and bombs in the distance. The casualty toll for both armies at this point was around the hundred thousands and growing each second. Although Celestias radio program told the people that the casualties of the Solar empire where significantly less, The workers shrugged it off as propaganda.

The once loyal people of Everglade were quickly turning against they're, so called, glorious princess. The tension in everglade was reaching a boiling point due to the beatings, propaganda and enslavement of its people. The workers secretly spoke of revolting against Celestia's guard for months until an accident happened at a munitions factory. A worker had fallen ill and was unable to work. two guards where kicking him on the ground and beating him with batons, yelling at him and telling him to get back to work. The poor worker could not stand up and stayed on his knees, the guards eventually beat him to death.

This enraged the now dead workers' fellow workers. The worker banned together and shoved the guards outside, the workers grabbed equipment from their work stations and used them as weapons. They started going around, beating every celestial guard they saw to death. More and more ponies joined the mob of enraged workers until the entire town was fighting against the celestial guard. In only a few hours of fighting the town of everglade was free from celestia's tyranny. The town formed a local watch as well as their own government. They even worked up the nerve to ask Luna for assistance, knowing that celestia would send an invasion force within the next two weeks.

Celestia grand army reached the front gate of Everglade. Celestias tanks crashed down the gates as the loyal soldiers marched into the city, taking life by life, but for each life of an everglade citizen or Derpy legionnaire they took, the Legionnaire's or citizens would take three from celestia. The battle was intense as celestia's army kept pushing into the town, filling every major street. Yet the Legionnaire's and citizens never gave an inch of ground. They fought ferociously and kept pushing against the Solar tide. Celestias army kept moving in deeper and deeper into the city, filling every alley way they could. Still This was not enough to take over the city of Everglade.

A total of two weeks passed by with constant fighting, both sides at a stand still, neither side gaining any ground. Until a great storm moved in from the north. The wind howled as the rain fell in droves. Lightning strikes hit the town constantly, as the booms of thunder swept every soldier off they're hooves. Celestias grand army, in a great panic, started to fall back. Derpy then saw this storm as an opportunity and told her entire Legion to move in on the Celestial army. The storm kept on as the celestial army kept falling back. Derpy's Legion then struck a devastating blow against Celestia's once one million strong army and knocked them down to two hundred thousand during the entire course of the battle for everglade. As Celestia's army finally retreated, the storm settled as Derpy flew in front of her legionnaire's and the citizens of Everglade. With a flash of lighting and the boom of thunder, the citizens and legionnairs looked to derby and bowed to her. Fully committing themselves to her.
