Ancient Clockwork Star,summoned with 7 prismatic stars
Foretold by a cosmic jester,listened by a crowd
Sun and Moon,both in a war,everyone bewildered,day and night flashing,
“Ask Nova for help,then this will all come to an end!”
None know this yet,it was just all a little trick,
But one stood up,willing to help,the hero riding on the spring breeze,”Kirby”
“Good luck!” dozen’s wished.Off the naive hero went on the quest that was foretold,
Clockwork Star,the size of a planet,summoned by the stars that were once guarded
7 stars circling the hero,putting on a wonderful display,disappearing,
Only one wish,the colossal machine spoke,awaiting a request,
Before speaking,the pink hero being kicked aside,the cosmic jester had stole the wish.
Out of nowhere he came,commanding now he was the ruler of everything.
Being accepted,a countdown begun,3.2.1,in a flash,transformed into a demonized monster
Laughter rang out in space,sounding insane,eerie,the little backstabber had got his way!
Flapping new unfamiliar wings,now a part of his body,flying back to the star shaped planet,
Soon the hero took chase,on a cosmic machine,made by the stars,off to end this nightmare.
