The Death Star has been destroyed. While the Coalition celebrates, Ezra and Jaral return to Lothal, to spend some time with their family and introduce Luke to the ways of the Jedi. But the Empire is far from broken, as Grand Admiral Tanis and his fl...
It took a while to actually plan the course for Dagobah and to set up a rendezvous point with the fleet, since it planned to leave Utapau right after Ezra and his group would leave for the swamp planet, to continue their search.
Finally, it was time for the Silver Bullet to depart from the Amerigo, just before the cruiser and its flotilla resumed their journey.
"So, why are we heading on a forgotten swamp?" Sabine asked from the sensors while Luke and Ezra piloted the ship.
Since they were already in hyperspace, Ezra turned the seat in order to answer. "I just learned that a legendary Jedi Master is hiding there. If we want to rebuild the Order and complete our training, then we need his help."
"A Jedi Master?" Luke asked fascinated.
"Yes. Yoda. I only talked with him twice and saw him once at the temple on Lothal."
"What do you mean, you saw him?" Sabine asked confused.
"The Force is better than any communication technology." he simply replied. "I didn't know where he was before, but now we do. So we're going to bring him back with us."
R2 beeped an objection.
"I'm not expecting it to be easy." Ezra reassured. "But we have to do this. It's an opportunity we can't afford to pass."
And so, they continued the navigation. The arrival was expected in around four hours and a half, including a necessary stop to reorient the ship toward the final destination, but Jinx and R2 could handle that. The three humans spent the time with a small sparring, a game of dejarik and even watching a holo-movie from Earth, a comedy with psionics as main characters, which gave a unique perspective to the two Jedi over how their counterparts in the other galaxy were viewed and integrated into society.
Finally, they came out of hyperspace and entered the Dagobah system. After a few more minutes of navigation, the planet that gave name to the area stood in front of them, with its green color and a layer of fog that was already visible from orbit.

"Scanners can't even get through that mist, how are we going to land?" Sabine asked.
Ezra calmly turned on his seat and turned toward his friend. "Luke, it's time to test your connection with the Force."
The young man hesitated. "I'm not sure I'm ready for this."
"Just relax and let the Force guide you." Ezra said in a patient tone.
Luke, remembering the countless times Ezra had guided him in their meditations, made a small exhalation to calm down and closed his eyes, reaching into the Force. Ezra passed the controls to Luke, who was the co-pilot, but stood ready to retake them in case the need arose. The Gauntlet dived into the fog, which was as thick as expected. Luke conducted the ship with great caution, probably because it wasn't his own. Aside a couple of winged beasts that passed in front of the transparisteel, croaking nastily, and only a small hurt with some pending tree, the landing was without any major hindrance.
