| As we approached I scanned the battlefield carefully. Many elementals were clustered at their banners scattered throughout. I took a deep breath and cried out, "Prepare for hugs and friendship everlasting!" My declaration was met with nothing but stifled laughter. "Um... okay... how about erectrum and quanta overflowing!" Still not a single response. What is wrong with these elementals, I thought to myself. In my moment of despair I turned to my Entropony brethren. "The plan doesn't seem to be working... Do we have a back up plan?" I asked hopefully. No response. Wait I think someone blinked! No that was me, I thought. I could feel the stares of the other elementals boring into the back of my skull. "Quick I need your words of wisdom!" I hissed. Several of my companions seemed in deep thought. "Rasta, what say you?!" He replied simply, "Chaos overwhelming! Entropy will consume everything in the end!" Wise words indeed I did ponder... PoLdeR then raised his Discord to the heavens and whispered in a hoarse voice, "If anything is more annoying than Scramble it is: multiple Scrambles ^^" as he raised another discord in like. To this I did listen neither once nor twice, but thrice. "Disorder and decadence conquers all that defies it," stated tng matter-of-factly. "You may be new but I like your style! What else do we have?" I pushed. Rush6 then stepped forward and cleared his throat... "I acknowledge the fact that our opponents do not expect us to succeed. They probably relish in the mere thought of our failure. But I will never surrender, we will never surrender. Weakness will not be in our hearts. Draw strength from your comrades. Comrades that have been with you through thick and thin, Through sacrifice, through blood, through sweat, through tears. Never will you let them fall. Never will you let them down. Who are we? Entropy! Defeat, retreat are not in our vocabulary, But we do understand victory and undying will. Carry the amethyst close to your hearts, For it will carry us even when our limbs are too weak. Unleash the chaos that lies within. Embrace the pandemonium. For it will not be us that dies by the blade of discord. And when the end justifies the means, Only the true masters of chaos will be left. That is when I’ll look you in the eye and ask the only question dear to me. Who are we? Entropy! If your desire to win is as great as my desire to breathe, Then I have no other choice then to lead you to victory. UNLEASH THE CHAOS THE LIES WITHIN!" Bonestorm was the first to break the silence, "needs to have more of an entropy affinity imo " We all step back and nodded in confused accord. Dwerg then said, "Energy is eternal delight," but then did not say. "Screw it lets just kick some butt pony style," Gumbeh emphatically suggested. "So crazy it just might work..." we then issued in unison. I stepped forward and cleared my throat. As I felt all eyes gaze at us, the Entroponies, I declared verily, "Yeah I'm sure you heard all that. So pretty much what those guys said... except for the confusing parts. You've forced our adorable hooves, now suffer the wrath of ENTROPY!!!" With these words we poured forth ready for battle!

I sat in a quiet room for many a night. I sighed to myself,
Entropy just isn't what it used to be. After the defeat in the last war, two loyal minions left were the elf Specimen #26 and the mutant Armagio. I liked Specimen #26; I have begun calling him "Mike." He simply looks like a "Mike" to me. Armagio, while extremely loyal and useful, just isn't a conversationalist.
Mike, who was especially versed in mutations, often spent the evenings doing just that with me. Until one fateful night, when it came into being... Normally we use cats for our antics but this eve we were forced to use a lesser creature, a lamb. After several mutations all that was left was a holy cow. Not ordinary in anyway mind you... with seven eyes and seven horns! The Holy Lambcow then opened a book, and we knew something was amiss. Where did this book come from? We had never experienced such things with mutations before... The Holy Lambcow didn't seem to take notice of us but did remove it's "horns" and began to read.
I cried out to Armagio, "There is a sign, we must make ready!" The mutant, Armagio, came lumbering in. "Yesh master, ready the troops. You will need other elementals?" he asked. "Yes," I said. Scratching my head I couldn't stop staring at the lamb... and then it came to me. "Seven!" I proclaimed, "We will need seven elementals to play these horns!" Armagio simply nodded and turned to make the necessary preparations. I left the Lamb to his own devices and called Mike to my side. If the war was coming, Entropy would not be ill prepared.
To Rush6 I gave the first horn. The Lambcow read aloud, "Upon the first horn sounding, hail and Fire, mixed with blood, is thrown to the Earth burning up a third of the trees on the planet, and all green grass."
To Dwerg the second was gifted and by the words of the Lambcow: "By the second horn sounding, a great burning mountain that plunges into the sea and wipes out a third of all sea Life. A third of the Water will become blood."
Thenewguy received the third: "By the sound of the third horn, a great "star" called
KaBhlewy will Gravitate towards the Earth poisoning a third of the planet's Water sources. Many will drink its bitter Death."
And for Gumbeh: "And the fourth sounded, and the third of the Light was smitten of the sun, of the moon, and of the stars; so as the third part of them was complete Darkness, even those born of Darkness could not see during the hours of night."
Woe unto PoLdeR who took to himself the fifth horn: "With the sound of the fifth horn, demons will be called forth from the pit with smoke to darken the Air and Aether. During this Time of woe, they shall not strike those who take mark of Entropy. And in this Time those who do not bear the mark shall seek Death and shall not find it."
The Lamb said to Bonestorm: "You shall unleash a army of horsemen whose number is two hundred thousand thousand. For in my visions the power is in their mouth, by Fire, by smoke and by brimstone. Those spared Death by your plague shall fear the seventh horn the most."
And taking the seveth horn Rastafla turned to the Lamb and said, "And this horn shall bring the sound of silence and signal the end of the earth, air, and aether; of life and death; of light and darkness; of the gravity and fire of the heavenly bodies; an entropic death for all."
