From the Book of Foes:
“In the days after the fall of Nutteus, a malaise fell over the lands of the Dark Lord, for his people feared that the previous victory was bought with too high a price. Early dominance was thrown away, and The Mountain fell, and only through the fierce will of the Great Saban had the Grand Army persevered. But the Dark Lord came before his people, and he said, ‘Fear not, for though perfect victory it was not, victory it was still. And do not weep for The Mountain, for he shall fight again.’ And just then The Mountain walked behind him with no aid, and the people rejoiced saying, ‘The Mountain walks again! Let no chicken go unfried, and may no biscuit be safe!’ And Saban told The Mountain, ‘Go and rest, for this next battle is not yours; but soon your day shall come again, and you shall feast on the fruits of the bayou.’ With this The Mountain went to rest, and Lord Saban went to the rest of his Grand Army.
‘My boys,’ spake he whose wrath is more abominable than 9,000 irate she-bears, ‘The time for us to march abroad is again nigh. For there is one who dwells to the north whose crimes against us have been great! Through his lies and deceit has he wronged us, and through his treachery has he smeared us! His repayment has begun, but I am far from satisfied relative to the pain I wish to inflict onto his sphincter.’ And the Grand Army were glad to have this challenge, and they asked the Dark Lord when they could march. “10 Debbie Cookies from today shall we go,” saith the Dark Lord.
The tellers of tales and the sayers of sooth soon learned of these plans, and word made it to the Vile One, on whom the ire of Saban lay, and who dwelt high in the northern mountains. Long had he been believed a great general, but his powers lessened as his very girth grew, and even his loyal followers became despondent under his lead. And when he heard of the plays the Dark Lord had made, he spake, ‘MEESA PONA KRANTHA BANTHA POODOO!’ And his followers were confused, but they knew from his panicked manner that the Grand Army approached.
