In a celestial nursery deep in the heart of the Universe, a star was born. From the start, the star had a rebellious nature, and it soon desired to see what existed outside of its nursery. And so, using some of its plentiful stores of energy, the young star exploded from its birthplace and out into the Universe.

As the star grew, it created havoc in its wake. It eventually crashed through the space between two galaxies, causing them to collide. From the force of the two galaxies colliding, a new wild galaxy was hurled out, with the now adult star caught in its spirals. The newly formed galaxy and the star were sent out into the Universe traveling at an amazing speed.
As the eons passed, the galaxy and the attached star slowed down. They finally stopped in a remote part of the Universe, and the now adult star rested for a while, perched above the galaxy. Then, the star became restless again. It did not want to spend its existence hovering in this isolated spot in the Universe. It still desired excitement and, now as an adult, danger, too. So, one day, it pulsed out and, pulling the galaxy and the inhabitants that now dwelled within it, the star continued its chaotic wandering in the Universe.
Again, eons passed as the star and galaxy traveled at warp speed through the remote edges of the Universe, always moving, always seeking for a more active part of the Universe. The star grew strong and powerful in this journey. It swirled with dangerous energy. The star would leave, as it always did in its travels, a wake of chaos, as it hurled toward the center of the Universe.
