This Little Twisted World of Ours
Waging Wars

The six each sat in their own chairs near the cutie map, having their own discussions on this matter. Godfell didn't feel like being relevant in the moment, floating near the six and leaning back as if he were on a couch, but whatever makes him comfortable.
Meanwhile, Spike walked in on the group, looking a little queasy. Godfell glanced at him as if he were about to vomit, but an anticlimactic belch followed by green flames would emerge instead, forming a letter. He grabbed it, handing it over to Twilight.
Twilight took a gander at the message sent by Princess Celestia before immediately standing up off her crystalline chair. "We're needed in Canterlot urgently!" The group would quickly stand up themselves, running off to Canterlot.
Godfell
Godfell watched them run off to Canterlot, gently landing down on the cold floor. It was dead quiet. Godfell sat on one of the girls' thone-like chairs. He never liked the sound of silence, but when it came, he couldn't stop it. It makes him think of his life before being a regal 'God.' Ever since his father left for his own good, he kind of forgot what family meant. To anyone else, being a God is the greatest accomplishment you could aquire regardless, he should stop acting so ungrateful.
He rubbed his face, tranquilized in questions that he knew would never be answered. Even the simplest of questions. Why? How? When? He's been arguing with himself for so long, but never got the bigger picture of everything. Kind of like how people-and even ponies-alike never got the bigger picture of him. He was only seen as an idea. Not a being, but a symbol. I guess you could say he's been waging wars with himself while dealing with the war against Yin and Yang simultaneously...
Mane 6
Twilight and the Mane 6 swiftly trotted into Canterlot, entering the castle as fast as they could. Celestia, along with Luna and even Discord, patiently waited for their arrival.
Twilight gasped for air a bit, "We came as fast as we could!"
Celestia nodded formally and stood from her throne. "Thank you for coming. I'm sure you've heard of the return of Chernobog?" The six quickly nodded in response. "Good. We need all the time we can get. I've recently been contacted by Sunburst stating the damnation Chernobog forced upon on the Crystal Empire. The Crystal Heart was destroyed and... we've lost Princess Cadence..."
Twilight's eyes widened, completely and utterly shocked. She sobbed a bit, but tried her hardest not to break down. She suddenly ran towards Celestia, embracing her. She couldn't help it. Celestia comforted her as soon as she did.
Luna would look at the Mane 6, who all had their own melancholy reactions to the tragic news. "We believe he's out to end all of life completely judging by the way he handled the Crystal Empire. Nopony knows where he's headed next, but we've made sure that we'd be immediately contacted if Equestria was attacked once more by the foul beast."
Fluttershy, wiping her eyes to rid of the emotion she was shedding, let out a quiet weep. "How are we going to stop him?"
Luna glanced to Discord, who wasn't his usual, before looking back at them. "We're hoping Celestia, Discord, and I, along with the help of you're friendship, is enough to take him on... but we mustn't be overconfident. We're not sure how the outcome will play out yet."
Twilight slowly backed away, clearing her throat. She had noticeable bags under her eyes from her tears of sadness. Although her overwhelming sadness got the best of her, she was determined to take down the demon more than any other villain they have faced. "If he wants a full-on war, we'll give it to him!"
Celestia took a few steps forward. "If this doesn't go well, I've made sure that the Pillars will be our Plan B."
Twilight would gaze at her friends. "We've got this. We'll be sure of it."
Chernobog
Chernobog traveled through the mountains of the Crystal Empire to have a little fun, making it his playground. He destroyed nearly all of the mountains by it, feeling replenished and pleased.
His aura seemed to agree, much bigger from last time. He observed the devastation in the sky, smiling coldly. 'All of that, from one creature.' He thought. After a good minute of feeding his own ego, he flickered off to find another castle to ruin.
His flight was disrupted by a stranded violet blast that hit his back and made him crashland into the dirt below him, creating a deep crater that was filled with Hellfire, Chernobog standing in the center. He growled to himself, frantically glancing around before being sucker punched to the ground.
A hand pulled him back up forcefully and before he could look at who it was, he was punched once more. This time into the air. 'This one's strong...' He scowled, landing back down away from the crater.
Godfell
Godfell sighed. He expected Chernobog to be better than this. Godfell would slowly float up and out of the large crater, showing himself to the demon.
Chernobog glared at him, bringing his hammer up. "I should've known it was you, False God."
Godfell ignored him and began approaching the tall beast, magic coating his hands. Chernobog tried swinging his hammer downwards, but was interrupted by Godfell grabbing his wrist tightly and kneeing him. "I'm not here to fight, but I will put you in your place! Watch who you piss off!"
Chernobog had kneeled from the sudden knee, feeling the bubbling rage in his dead soul. He got back up on his feet, glaring through Godfell. "I'm not here for you either, I've made that clear long ago." He turned his back and flew off again.
Godfell closed his eyes, his hands behind his back, and turned away. "If it's war he wants, we'll give it to him." A smirk slowly grew behind his helmet, slowly walking away from the scene to get back to the castle.
Mane 6
The Mane 6 returned to Twilight's Castle, Twilight wondering where Godfell had gone to, but got her answer pretty quickly as he showed up at the last second.
Godfell morphed a chair for himself again and sat in it. "Tomorrow's going to be a long one, so if you thought today was hard, then you'll be surprised." He snickered.
"I have a feeling it will be..." Twilight gulped, still kind of scared of what's to come.
"No pressure, of course. That's the least we need in this kind of situation, right?"
Fluttershy took her seat and smiled at Twilight, "We'll still be here for you."
Twilight looked down at the map and frowned. "What if one you get's killed?!"
"Ahem." Godfell cleared his throat to get their attention. "From what I've heard, you're all basically untouchable. Look at nearly every encounter with a villain. The same question could go with them as well, but you still ultimately defeated them... right?"
Twilight looked at him and simply wiped her eyes, "This one is a lot different. The only thing he WANTS to do is destroy and kill! The others at least had a goal!" She planted her face on the map and let out a weak weep.
"You can't give up hope. Doubting leads to failure. You need to first think you can do something before you do anything else. It's one against the entirety of Equestria. How can't that mean something to you? You've faught how many times by now? I think you can. I'm sure we all do. We just need you to think that about yourself."
Godfell stood up. "I'll give you time to try and think hopefully. I'll see you guys tomorrow..." He yawned and left the castle.
Rainbow and the others smiled at Twilight. "We'll uh, give you space too." They all soon followed Godfell, leaving Twilight to think.
