Let me tell you a story. The story of the Paradox Star...
A long, long time ago, all people lived in fear.
From this world of struggle, the Great Star Spirits arose and fought back the darkness, creating a world of light and hope.
But they knew that evil could not be defeated forever.
In their wisdom, they created the great power of our world to fight against evil: the Wish Power.
Concealed in the tool of the gods, the Star Rod, it held the power to make wishes come true.
Whenever the forces of darkness grew strong, and the oppressed people cried out in pain...
The Star Spirits would return their wishes to the earth in the form of falling stars.
Great heroes arose in the places these stars fell - the Star Children.
With the power granted to them by the Star Rod, these heroes could conquer any enemy, and free the world from their clutches.
And the world would be returned to a state of balance.
Ages passed...
An evil king arose, and sought, like many before, to conquer the free people of this world.
They cried out in fear, and as before, a Star Child arose to battle against the King.
The hero claimed victory, but the tenacious King came back again and again.
Time after time, the hero and the king did battle. Time after time, the hero claimed victory.
Until one day...
Cast once again into the pit of defeat, the King felt a deep pain.
He knew was much stronger than the hero!
How could he be defeated over and over again by a mere peasant, humiliated in such a manner?
It was the power of the Stars, he realized. The ancient power that allowed the weak to conquer the strong.
And from his pain, the King made a wish. A wish that never should have been made...
"I wish that there should be no more wishes!"
"I wish for a world where the powerful reign forever!"
The Star Spirits were shocked and horrified by the King's wish.
They took hold of the Star born of the wish, and hurled it into the Outer Darkness, never to be seen again.
But a sincere wish, made from the heart, cannot be destroyed. And so the Paradox Star refused to die...
Within that strange realm, beyond time and space...
The Paradox Star gathered the wisps of matter it could accumulate, and forged a body for itself.
When it had crafted a body, it set to work and began to construct an army.
Years passed...maybe aeons. Who could tell in that timeless place?
From the fog it constructed a great factory, and an army of cold steel.
An army poised and ready to return to our world, and bring about the world that the evil king wished for all those years ago.
A world where the strong reign supreme, and the weak live without hope.
To put an end to all wishes, and create a world filled with...weapons.
