Wizard Cookie: Finally! We’ve made it to the Pantheon of Starlight!
Alchemist Cookie: The prize is a chalice that was dipped in the Nebula Spring! What properties does it have?!
Sandwich Cookie: Anything poured into the Nebula Chalice will make the perfect drink for any sandwich!
Bacon Cookie: A perfect drink? No! Bacon. Eggs. Milk. The perfect breakfast!
???: Hehe… Just look at ‘em… How pathetic.
Priestesses of the Stars: Starfruit Cookie! The opening ceremony is about to commence!
Starfruit Cookie: Just a moment! I need to look perfect for this speech!
Starfruit Cookie: I’ve never seen so many Cookies… I’m a bit nervous.
Priestesses of the Stars: As High Oracle, we are sure you will do perfectly fine. We believe in you!
Starfruit Cookie: Right? Right! I can do this. There’s nothing I can’t do. Let’s start this tournament!
???: The festivities will begin soon. Let us commence with our plan.
Licorice Cookie: No one but Dark Enchantress Cookie deserves the Nebula Chalice!
Pomegranate Cookie: To present it to our Master, you will need to claim it first.
Dark Choco Cookie: Can that cup truly negate starlight? I’ve also heard tales that it also reveals the whereabouts of ancient legends…
Pomegranate Cookie: It is most very likely. The chalice is said to reveal everything the stars can see.
Pomegranate Cookie: I will approach Starfruit Cookie. She will prove most… useful in learning about the chalice.
Licorice Cookie: Hehe…! Not unless I find it first!
Dark Choco Cookie: ...Let’s get moving. We don’t have much time.
Starfruit Cookie: Welcome, one and all, to the first tournament of the stars, the grand Battle for Fate!
Starfruit Cookie: Only the most honorable and skilled can claim the Nebula Chalice.
Wizard Cookie: I’ve been practicing my spells just for this moment!
Sandwich Cookie: I’ve been making and serving sandwiches, plus running everyday! No one’s better prepared than me.
Bacon Cookie: BEHOLD! New cooking utensils! With these, everyone will be too impressed with my cooking to run!
Alchemist Cookie: HA! With my new concoction, that chalice is as good as mine!
Licorice Cookie: Hehe… none of you stand a chance. I’m gonna be the one to claim the Nebula Chalice!
Starfruit Cookie: Let the Battle for Fate begin!
The Vision
Starfruit Cookie: The tournament must be in full swing by now. I wonder if it’s going well!
Starfruit Cookie: Oh? Who’s that…? I’ve never seen that Cookie here before. Hey, you can’t just barge in here!
Pomegranate Cookie: My apologies. I was led here by a mysterious power.
Starfruit Cookie: You felt the powers of starlight...? The other priestesses here can’t really sense them though…
Starfruit Cookie: You’re not like the other Cookies, are you? What’s your name?
Pomegranate Cookie: I am Pomegranate Cookie. I come according to the will of the one I serve.
Pomegranate Cookie: Upon hearing of the Battle for Fate, I decided to see it with my own eyes.
Starfruit Cookie: So! What do you think of the tournament and festivities so far?
Pomegranate Cookie: The opening ceremony was quite the spectacle indeed. And this temple’s beauty is quite grand.
Pomegranate Cookie: You must have poured your heart and soul into preparing for this occasion.
Starfruit Cookie: Well, it wasn’t easy! But, after all, it’s me! I knew I could handle it.
Pomegranate Cookie: The grand prize is also amazing. I had only heard of the Nebula Chalice in myths and legends.
Starfruit Cookie: Exciting, isn’t it?! With the chalice, the stars can show you everything! But only once though…
Starfruit Cookie: The High Oracles of the past kept it hidden away, but with it we can let every Cookie know about our temple!
Pomegranate Cookie: Such wise judgment for one so young. It is thanks to your decisions that I am graced to be here today.
Starfruit Cookie: So I was right! Hehe, this was a great choice.
Priestesses of the Stars: Starfruit Cookie! There is something you must come check at once!
Starfruit Cookie: Oh, duty calls! It was nice meeting a Cookie just like me!
Pomegranate Cookie: As did I… As did I.
Priestesses of the Stars: That was excellent! Starfruit Cookie, everyone is so very impressed!
Starfruit Cookie: I’m so glad that everyone is enjoying the tournament! We should do this every year!
Priestesses of the Stars: As today’s games are over, we will take our leave.
Starfruit Cookie: Everyone’s gone, right…? I should pop over to the Nebula Spring.
Starfruit Cookie: The sky is especially clear today. I should be able to read the stars without any problems!
Starfruit Cookie: Stars, please light my path! Grant me a vision to help me bring peace unto our world!
Starfruit Cookie: I will accept your guidance, no matter how sweet or bitter it may be.
Starfruit Cookie: Hmm… Not even a single ripple. Maybe the stars don’t want to talk tonight...
Starfruit Cookie: Oh! OH! The Nebula Spring is shining! A vision has been granted!
Starfruit Cookie: What’s this… the stars are… They’ve gone dark?!
Starfruit Cookie: Is something terrible going to happen with the tournament?
A Fateful Meeting
Licorice Cookie: Argh..! Where’d they hide that chalice?! I’ve been looking everywhere!
Licorice Cookie: I need to find it before Pomegranate Cookie…! No, not that. Nope, this isn’t a chalice…
Dark Choco Cookie: Wait… what was that noise? We need to move. Now.
Licorice Cookie: Oh-ho! Now that thing definitely looks like a chalice! Could it be?
Licorice Cookie: Psh… It’s just a glass cup… Nope! Don’t need you!
Priestess of the Stars: Have you lost something?
Licorice Cookie: No! I-i-it’s nothing! Go away!
Priestess of the Stars: Competitors of the tournament are not allowed here. Are you lost?
Dark Choco Cookie: ...Yes.
Priestess of the Stars: Follow me then. I will show you the way.
Licorice Cookie: OK, OK! We’re erm… right behind you!
Pomegranate Cookie: Now that we are all here… Have you made any progress?
Licorice Cookie: Well duh! While you were chatting away with that Cookie, I was busy searching the entire temple!
Pomegranate Cookie: Good. I too have made progress.
Licorice Cookie: It’s probably gonna be quicker to find it ourselves. Starfruit Cookie isn’t just gonna tell you where it is…
Licorice Cookie: Just you wait! I’ll be the one to find it! I’m gonna make this mission succeed!
Pomegranate Cookie: You are welcome to try.
Starfruit Cookie: What do I do...
Priestesses of the Stars: Starfruit Cookie. Is something on your mind?
Starfruit Cookie: Oh, it’s erm… I was just curious about how the festivities are progressing!
Priestesses of the Stars: All Cookies are running and giving it their all. Would you like to watch the games?
Starfruit Cookie: No, it’s alright! I can go watch by myself.
Starfruit Cookie: That vision… What did it mean… What are the stars trying to tell me?
Pomegranate Cookie: Have you come to watch the tournament as well?
Starfruit Cookie: Pomegranate Cookie! It’s good to see you again!
Pomegranate Cookie: There seems to be a great weight on your shoulders.
Starfruit Cookie: Oh, it’s just… I was thinking about something and came out for some fresh air.
Pomegranate Cookie: Is there anything I may assist you with?
Pomegranate Cookie: I too have experienced the burden of responsibility… The burden of wielding power.
Starfruit Cookie: Oh… You too?
Pomegranate Cookie: I must confess, I cannot say that there were never moments like this. This burden… we are destined for it.
Priestesses of the Stars: High Oracle Starfruit Cookie! The next round of the tournament is about to begin!
Starfruit Cookie: OK! I’ll be right there! (I wanted to talk a bit more, but…)
Pomegranate Cookie: I await the day in which we can meet once again.
Priestesses of the Stars: Starfruit Cookie! Where have you gone?! There’s trouble!
Starfruit Cookie: Trouble? What sort of trouble?
Priestesses of the Stars: High Oracle! This also requires your attention! Please, please!
Starfruit Cookie: OK! I’m on my way!
Priestesses of the Stars: Starfruit Cookie! We need your guidance! Please, oh Oracle!
Starfruit Cookie: So many things require my attention…! But I’m only just one Cookie...
Starfruit Cookie: This isn’t the festive tournament I wanted...
Starfruit Cookie: I wonder if I can meet… Oh! Pomegranate Cookie! You’re really here!
Pomegranate Cookie: You seem tired. Is something amiss?
Starfruit Cookie: I’ve been so busy that my dough has been hardened more than usual…!
Pomegranate Cookie: Leading this grand tournament on your own must take quite a toll.
Starfruit Cookie: I’m beginning to think this was all a mistake… Just a bit!
Pomegranate Cookie: You are spreading the word of the Pantheon of Stars, of its devotion to peace and prosperity for all Cookies.
Pomegranate Cookie: Your decision will have helped and inspired many Cookies. Quite many...
Starfruit Cookie: Thanks, Pomegranate Cookie. I really needed to hear that.
Pomegranate Cookie: You may confer with me anytime. I am ready to offer an ear.
Starfruit Cookie: The next round will begin soon!
Starfruit Cookie: Remember to attack and defend at the same time to gain the upper hand!
Alchemist Cookie: This is my forte! I’ve concocted a few solutions for the perfect attack and defense!
Wizard Cookie: I’ve got a spell or two that’s just what I need to win!
Sandwich Cookie: I just had a sandwich. Yummy! It was so nutritious, I think I can beat every Cookie here!
Bacon Cookie: If I win… FREE BACON FOR ALL!
Licorice Cookie: Oh, stop yelling! I’m gonna be the one to beat all of you!
Bacon Cookie: You haven’t even run in a single game yet!
Licorice Cookie: HMPH! I didn’t run… er… by choice! I’m on an IMPORTANT mission!
Licorice Cookie: If I show you my true power, you’ll all get scared and run away!
Bacon Cookie: We don’t care what your mission is. And you’re definitely not scary.
Licorice Cookie: Just you wait! Victory will be mine!
Dark Choco Cookie: Did you forget why we’re here in the first place…
Sworn to Secrecy
Starfruit Cookie: Pomegranate Cookie! I’ve missed you!
Starfruit Cookie: Thanks to your advice, I feel SO much better.
Pomegranate Cookie: How fortunate… But I sense you’ve still an ounce of foreboding thoughts.
Starfruit Cookie: Wow, you know me so well…!
Starfruit Cookie: Erm… it’s just that… Nah, never mind.
Pomegranate Cookie: Please, speak comfortably. I am sure I will understand.
Starfruit Cookie: I want to… But…
Pomegranate Cookie: You and I are the only Cookies who can understand each other.
Starfruit Cookie: You’re right…
Starfruit Cookie: Let’s head somewhere else. Somewhere more private…!
Starfruit Cookie: A few nights ago, the stars… Their light was consumed by a veil of crimson and shadow.
Starfruit Cookie: I’m worried something might go wrong with the tournament.
Pomegranate Cookie: I see. This vision must have been quite shocking.
Starfruit Cookie: I wanted a grand vision and I got one, but… I didn’t expect it to be some* dark and grim.
*actual text
Pomegranate Cookie: ...I believe the one I serve may be able to assist you.
Pomegranate Cookie: She is wise and wields a cosmic power that none can stand against.
Starfruit Cookie: Really?! That’s amazing! Thank you! I’m glad I shared this vision with you.
Starfruit Cookie: I’m really glad we’ve become good friends!
Pomegranate Cookie: But about this vision… Is the Nebula Chalice the only such treasure in existence?
Pomegranate Cookie: I was under the assumption visions were granted only by the chalice itself.
Starfruit Cookie: Well, you see… Oh, before that… You need to keep this a secret!
Starfruit Cookie: In the middle of the temple is the Nebula Spring, where sacred waters are blessed by the stars!
Starfruit Cookie: The Nebula Chalice itself only holds a fraction of the spring’s true power!
Starfruit Cookie: At the spring, if I pray and say “Stars, please light my path”, the stars grant me a vision.
Pomegranate Cookie: ...I see. Thank you. I can ensure you that this secret is safe with me.
Starfruit Cookie: We’re best friends after all! It’d be nice if we can chat like this after the tournament ends…
Pomegranate Cookie: This friendship is special to me as well. Though, I am destined to follow in my Master’s path…
Pomegranate Cookie: I will always remember this day and how you have helped me.
Licorice Cookie: Ugh… I’m gonna win this time!
Bacon Cookie: What’re you, a broken blender? You keep on grinding with no results!
Alchemist Cookie: You kept muttering about winning… So… now what?
Dark Choco Cookie: Licorice Cookie. Pomegranate Cookie is requesting our presence.
Licorice Cookie: Can’t you see I’m busy?! I have to compete!
Dark Choco Cookie: She’s found it.
Licorice Cookie: WHAT?! H-h-hey, all of you wait here! I’ll be right back!
Licorice Cookie: The Nebula Spring? Really?!
Pomegranate Cookie: Revealed by Starfruit Cookie herself. Come, follow me.
Pomegranate Cookie: This is the Nebula Spring… Indeed, the waters flowing from here are blessed with magic.
Licorice Cookie: Is this it…? Really? It seems so… small. So how do we get the stars to talk?
Dark Choco Cookie: We don’t have time. There is no telling when some Cookie might walk in.
Licorice Cookie: Er… ahem. You heard him. Well, get on with it, Pomegranate Cookie!
Pomegranate Cookie: May the Darkness feast on this spring’s power...
Licorice Cookie: Is that it…? Hehe. Well, that was easy. Psh! Power of starlight… *mutter mutter*
Pomegranate Cookie: Now then. Let us see what the Nebula Spring reveals.
Pomegranate Cookie: Stars… please light my path… Show us the Cookies of legend and myth...
Dark Choco Cookie: ...So, it’s true. The spring can show us where the Cookies of legend are...
Licorice Cookie: Starfruit Cookie is really gonna regret everything, isn’t she? Hehe!
Pomegranate Cookie: While we remain grateful for her… cooperation.
Priestesses of the Stars: Wh-what are you doing?!
Dark Choco Cookie: It’s time to leave.
Priestesses of the Stars: Stop! What are you doing to this sacred place?!
Licorice Cookie: Argh! Why are they so persistent?!
Pomegranate Cookie: Should you not be reporting what’s happened here instead of pursuing us…?
Dark Choco Cookie: Just a bit further. I have scouted a place where we can hide.
Licorice Cookie: Faster! FASTER!
Sandwich Cookie: Not bad! Not bad! Everyone’s really skilled! But the winner is decided at the very END!
Wizard Cookie: Hey, has anyone seen Rags- I mean, Licorice Cookie?
Bacon Cookie: Psh! He probably got scared and ran away.
Alchemist Cookie: Look! Starfruit Cookie just came out of the temple! Is it time for the final round?
Closing Ceremony
Starfruit Cookie: I extend my greatest appreciation for all Cookies who have made it this far!
Starfruit Cookie: And that’s that! The Battle for Fate is over!
Starfruit Cookie: Phew! I’m really glad it’s over… But that sure was fun too!
Starfruit Cookie: Now that I think about it… Nothing bad happened during the tournament.
Starfruit Cookie: Maybe the powerful Cookie that Pomegranate Cookie knows secretly helped out!
Priestesses of the Stars: High Oracle! Starfruit Cookie! Something terrible has happened!
Starfruit Cookie: What’s going on?
Priestesses of the Stars: Some strange Cookies have infiltrated the chambers of the Nebula Spring!
Starfruit Cookie: WHAT?!
Starfruit Cookie: No… NO! The Nebula Spring has been corrupted by some crimson magic...
Priestesses of the Stars: We’ve received word that three Cookies were involved!
Starfruit Cookie: Who… Who did this...
Priestesses of the Stars: A Cookie with a dark cloak and a raggedy Cookie with a scythe were rummaging through the temple.
Priestess of the Stars: I… thought they were participants who got lost in the temple. My deepest apologies...
Starfruit Cookie: What do I do… Could Pomegranate Cookie help me with this…?
Priestesses of the Stars: And another Cookie was with them. A Cookie dressed in red and adorned in pomegranates.
Starfruit Cookie: !!! Are you… sure?
Priestesses of the Stars: Quite sure! The Cookie in red was the one standing closest to the spring!
Starfruit Cookie: No, it can’t be! That Cookie… she’s… She’s my greatest friend…
Starfruit Cookie: I thought she understood me… I told her everything… She is… my friend…
Starfruit Cookie: Could it be…? No… No, it can’t...
Starfruit Cookie: That vision wasn’t about the tournament. If only I had not told Pomegranate Cookie...
Starfruit Cookie: It’s all my fault… The vision came true because of my mistake...
Dark Choco Cookie: We’ve managed to lose our pursuers. Let us leave.
Licorice Cookie: The power of Darkness is going to consume the world! HAHAHA!
Pomegranate Cookie: Everything is proceeding as the Master planned...
The Aftermath
Starfruit Cookie: Stars… Oh, great stars, please light my path!
Starfruit Cookie: I will gladly sacrifice my powers if it means restoring the Nebula Spring!
Priestesses of the Stars: Starfruit Cookie! Please! You must rest…! You cannot go on like this!
Starfruit Cookie: No… This is all my fault. I must fix this… I have to. I cannot rest until…
Starfruit Cookie: I am nothing… I was always nothing. I am no longer fit to be the Oracle. But I will remain and protect the temple.
Starfruit Cookie: So let me fulfill my responsibility, one last time…!
Starfruit Cookie: No… The stars have been silenced… There is no answer.
Starfruit Cookie: !!! My staff is… glowing?! The stars! The stars are with me!
Starfruit Cookie: Wait… Huh? What? Who are these ordinary looking Cookies?
Starfruit Cookie: Oh, great stars… Are… are these the Cookies who will save the world from the Darkness…?
Starfruit Cookie: This means… A flicker of hope still lives!
