This Little Twisted World of Ours

Godfell

After spending hours of contemplating in darkness, Godfell had no other choice to make an oath. That oath made sure he wouldn't lose his hope and stayed true to his word.

The Eldritch took flight and gained speed, traveling to a place known as 'Canterlot.' He made sure to cross his fingers in the hopes that any form of royalty would reside in the large castle. Godfell landed in the streets of Canterlot and strolled on by quickly, stopping before the Castle. There were guards, obviously, so it was going to take a lot of convincing to let him through. The guards that stood on either side of the door denied access, stopping Godfell from proceding any further.

One of the two guards spoke up. "Halt! What say you... traveler?"

Godfell would do a presentable wave and put his hands behind his back. "I've come to give a message to whomever rules these lands. I come with no harm or threat to your kingdom. I simply would like to communicate."

The two glanced at each other. One of them nodded, both allowed him through. As he formally walked in, the two guards followed. Godfell stopped a few feet away and did a respectful bow to whom he thought was the Princess of this land. "I come in peace. My name is Godfell, I am not from your world. I am known to many as an Eldritch. I've come to spread the word of Chermobog's newly return. I insist you and your world take action before it is too late. I myself have made an oath to protect your land, but I cannot do all of the work, as that is not my job."

The Princess listened to what he had to say and nodded. "Godfell, was it? I understand your reasoning to warn me. I have heard tales of the creature known as Chernobog and the havoc he brung with him when I was young. I never truly believed prior to you coming here. I shall immediately warn my little ponies and dispatch Equestria's greatest heroes to deal with this threat. I appreciate your help."

Godfell said his farewells before traveling off.

Mane 6

Twilight trotted through Canterlot with a serious look on her face. She was more than determined to find this thing if it's the last thing she does.

The others? Not so much. They either looked exhausted, annoyed, or downright bored. For awhile, the only thing that could be heard was the clopping of hooves and the townsponies nearby. Surprisingly enough, Fluttershy was the first to break the dead silence.

"Um... Twilight, I don't kean to complain but... it's getting very late and I'm sure we're all tired from all of this..."

Twilight glanced over with the same look. "We still need to find him! There can only be so many places, right?!"

The group let out their disappointing and annoyed sighs simultaneously, Twilight ignoring it. Rainbow Dash began to poke at her to get her attention. While Twilight tried her best to ignore it, she quickly cocked her head towards Rainbow and scoffed. "What is it, Rainbow-" She was suddenly knocked to the ground after running into somepony. She shook her head and looked to see who it was. She gasped in disbelief, but also in excitement as Godfell stood there staring at them.

"Uh, sorry. I didn't see you... there..." He noticed two familiar ponies. The weird pink one and the tomboyish blue one.

Another thing that caught his attention was the fascination displayed on her face, no doubts. "I FOUND YOU!" She bounced a little after the relentless day she had trying to find him.

Godfell was taken back by her loud outburst. "I guess you did. I'm Godfell..." He awkwardly reached his hand out for a shake. Twilight would take the hint and somewhat shook his hand.

"Sorry.. long day, heheh. I've been trying to find you all day after Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie told me they met you."

"Before you say anything else, no, I am NOT a villain. I'm not malevolent at all. I came here to warn you all of Chernobog and protect your land."

Twilight scratched her chin. "That name sounds familiar..."

Godfell nodded, "He was imprisoned thousands of Moons ago in total darkness. He mostly found his way in folklore, mythology, and many other recorded novels."

Twilight's eyes lit up, again. "It's been so long since I've read about him! He always scared me when I was younger, but I told myself it was just a story... but now... it's NOT!" Her face went from joyful to very worried in a second. "This is bad! We're going to need to prepare!"

Applejack intervened, "Ah appreciate you tellin' us an' all, but why the Tartarus would he break out now?"

Godfell scratched the back of his head. "Well, you see, the barrier between his version of Hell and the real world-our world-faded since his imprisonment and only needed to be brought off the edge for it to shatter like fragile glass. I was the one that caused this to happen when I got pissed off at him and got physical... allowing him to escape immediately."

He read their faces to see if they were pissed at all. It was very mixed to say the least. Twilight was the first to speak up.

"I... can understand. While you did commit one of the BIGGEST mistakes of our time, you might've had a reason for it, so I can forgive you. Besides, you're already going to make it up by helping us."

Godfell was relieved to hear that, letting a puff of air out.

Fluttershy nodded in agreement. "I forgive you as well, mister." Rarity had also agreed with Twilight.

Then there was the tomboy pony... "WHAT?! What kinda half-assed excuse is that! You've gotta be kidding me!"

Rarity rolled her eyes, "Don't worry about Rainbow, darling, she's just a little, how do I say this, hardheaded."

"I saw that immediately when I met her, but don't worry. I've dealt with far worse. Smartasses and jackasses alike." Rainbow growled at him while glaring daggers into his eyes.

Applejack seemed to be on her own side. "Ah can't really say I fully trust you, but I won't discourage ya any."

"That's respectable at least. I think we're all nearly on the same page." He glanced at Rainbow Dash. "Nearly. We'll get along soon enough, Skittles, there's no other option."

"Wa- Skittles?! What the f-"

Twilight interrupted her "Alright! Let's get going then so we don't waste anymore time, shall we?" Godfell nodded.

"I'll catch you guys there then." Godfell flew up and blasted off with a decent sized shockwave.

All Rainbow had to say was: "Showoff..."

Applejack smirked at her little comment, making sure she saw. "Out of all the ponies 'ere, I didn't expect that from somepony such as yerself, Rainbow."

"Oh, get off my flank, will ya?" She blasted off towards the same direction Godfell went in to get to the castle.

The others soon followed themselves, even if they were a lot slower.

Chernobog

Chernobog stood in the middle of the castle, bodies of the guards surrounding him. Cadence herself had to face his power and trembled before him quickly with her own Husband, Shining Armor.

"Pity. Not even the Princess could face me. This might be a lot easier than I thought..." He held the Crystal Heart in his hand. "Say goodbye while you can." He chuckled, crushing the Heart into tiny shards with just his hand alone. He lifted his large, terrifying hammer and smashed it into the ground, forcing the castle to crumble apart on top of them as Chernobog escaped.

The Crystal Empire's remains were it's rubble and lone survivors, without shelter or their family.
