Summary
Wizard Cookie, Alchemist Cookie, Sandwich Cookie, and Bacon Cookie are gathered at the Pantheon of Starlight to participate in a competition for the Nebula Chalice. Starfruit Cookie, who is hosting this tournament, is preparing a speech. She admits that she is a little nervous because there are a lot of Cookies there, but the other priestesses assure her that she will do perfectly fine.

Meanwhile, Licorice Cookie, Dark Choco Cookie, and Pomegranate Cookie are planning to somehow get the Nebula Chalice to bring to Dark Enchantress Cookie. Pomegranate Cookie says that she is going to learn about the chalice from Starfruit Cookie, and Licorice Cookie says that he will find it first.

After this, Starfruit Cookie begins the games, and the contestants (now including Licorice Cookie, who is trying to win the Chalice through the competition) announce their intentions to win.

Starfruit Cookie goes inside, where she runs into Pomegranate Cookie. When told that she's not allowed there, Pomegranate Cookie says that she was led there by a mysterious power. Starfruit Cookie is surprised, as even the other priestesses can't feel the powers of starlight, and immediately warms up to Pomegranate Cookie. Starfruit Cookie asks how Pomegranate Cookie likes the tournament, and Pomegranate Cookie says that it is very impressive, before bringing up the Nebula Chalice. Starfruit Cookie reveals that with the Chalice, the stars can show you everything, but only once, before saying that the previous oracle kept it hidden away, but that she wants to use it to let everyone know about the temple. Pomegranate compliments her on her judgement, and then Starfruit Cookie goes away to check on something.

At the end of the day's games, once everyone has left, Starfruit Cookie goes over to the Nebula Spring to consult the stars. However, she is shown a disturbing vision of Sea Fairy Cookie, Wind Archer Cookie, and Fire Spirit Cookie corrupted. This causes her to worry that something will go wrong at the tournament.

Later, Dark Choco Cookie and Licorice Cookie are searching for the Nebula Chalice in the temple; however, they get escorted out by a priestess who believes that they are just lost. They reconvene with Pomegranate Cookie, and they all say that they have made progress.

Starfruit Cookie goes out to watch the next day's games; however, she is very worried about her vision. She sees Pomegranate Cookie, who notices that she is troubled and says that she understands the burden that they both are destined for. Although Starfruit Cookie wants to talk more, the other priestesses tell her that the next round of the tournament is about to begin, so she leaves.

Starfruit Cookie struggles to manage the tournament, as there are so many things for her to do. She begins to question her decision to host it in the first place, as it is much more difficult than she imagined. However, after she goes outside, she sees Pomegranate Cookie, who encourages her and offers her a listening ear. The next round of the competition begins, and Licorice Cookie determines to win after being teased by Bacon Cookie for not participating in a single round so far.

Some time later, Starfruit Cookie meets Pomegranate Cookie again. She says that she feels much better after what Pomegranate Cookie told her, but Pomegranate Cookie tells her that she can tell that there is still something else on her mind. Starfruit Cookie is initially reluctant to share details, but Pomegranate Cookie reminds her that only they can understand each other. This convinces Starfruit Cookie, and the two of them go inside, where it is more private.

Starfruit Cookie tells Pomegranate Cookie about the vision, and Pomegranate Cookie tells her that that her Master, who is extremely powerful, may be able to help. Starfruit Cookie is very relieved, and tells Pomegranate Cookie that she is glad that they have become good friends.

Pomegranate then asks how Starfruit Cookie was able to see this vision, as she was under the impression that only the Nebula Chalice could grant them. Starfruit Cookie reveals that the Nebula Chalice only holds a fraction of the power of the Nebula Spring in the center of the temple, and that she can see vision there. However, Starfruit Cookie tells Pomegranate Cookie that she must keep this a secret, and Pomegranate Cookie agrees. Starfruit Cookie expresses a desire to be able to keep talking like this after the tournament, and Pomegranate Cookie says that although she is destined to follow in her Master's footsteps, she will remember how Starfruit Cookie has helped her.

Licorice Cookie, who has become very absorbed in the tournament, is interrupted by Dark Choco Cookie, who says that Pomegranate Cookie is requesting their presence. The three of them meet up, and Pomegranate tells them that Starfruit Cookie has revealed to her the Nebula Spring. They go to the Spring, and Pomegranate places a curse on it, before using it to reveal the locations of the Cookies of legend. However, they are found by the priestesses, who chase them until they find a place to hide.

Meanwhile, at the tournament, the other contestants wonder where Licorice Cookie went, before deciding that he ran away. The games conclude, and Starfruit Cookie realizes that nothing bad happened at the tournament, and wonders if Pomegranate Cookie's powerful master helped out. Just then, however, the other priestesses inform her that some Cookies have infiltrated the Nebula Spring.

Starfruit Cookie rushes into the temple only to see that the spring has been corrupted by some kind of crimson magic. The other priestesses tell her that three Cookies were involved, one in a cloak and one carrying a scythe. Starfruit Cookie briefly wonders if Pomegranate Cookie would be able to help her deal with the disaster, but the priestesses tell her that the other cookie was wearing red and adorned with pomegranates. Starfruit Cookie is shocked at this, and can hardly believe it, insisting that Pomegranate Cookie was her best friend.

Eventually, though, Starfruit Cookie realizes that Pomegranate Cookie must have betrayed her. Distraught, she blames herself for the disaster, saying that the vision came true because she made the mistake of telling Pomegranate Cookie about the Nebula Spring. Dark Choco Cookie says that they have lost their pursuers and should leave, and Pomegranate Cookie and Licorice Cookie say that they have won, and everything is going according their Master's plan.

In the end, Starfruit Cookie is at the Nebula Spring begging for the stars to help her again, saying that she would sacrifice her powers to restore the spring. The other priestesses ask her to take some rest, as she can't continue like this; however, Starfruit Cookie insists that she cannot rest until she has fixed her mistakes. She decides that although she is no longer fit to be the Oracle, she will stay to guard the temple, and begs to fulfil her responsibility one last time.

Her staff begins glowing, and she is granted a vision of GingerBrave, GingerBright, Strawberry Cookie, and Skater Cookie. She wonders whether these Cookies will be the ones to save the world from the darkness, and says that a flicker of hope still lives.
