I awaken on the ground, my arm wrapped in a bandage. It looks like we made it inside a mountain cave.
Then I remember the Rebel prison. I remember fighting the Purge trooper. I remember my arm being electrocuted by a metal staff.
It all comes back to me, and I look around for Yoda. Yoda senses me and walks over to me using his cane.

"Recovered have you?" Yoda asks. "My arm bas gotten a bit better at least," Zara replies.
"Well," Rex chimes in from a station he's set up in the cave, "I got there just in the nick of time. It looks like your new pilot wasn't so bad on the first mission."
"Then, you'll fight with us?" Zara springs up. "I'm still a Rebel, and I'll fight alongside anyone who wants to take down the Empire for good," Rex replies.
"If he's the pilot, then we may just have a chance of surviving," The old man says, seated on the stone ground.
"Haste, you must make. Training you have." Yoda says, walking to the entrance of the cave.
Zara follows after Yoda as he walks outside.
They stand on the flat surface of the mountain, where Yoda begins his training. As the wind blows harshly, Zara pulls on the hood of her cloak.
"Do the Jedi not train in peaceful conditions?" Zara asks over the harsh winds. "Train in any circumstance you must," Yoda replies.
He sits down and meditates, Zara follows after, sitting down across from Yoda. She peeks curiously to see what Yoda will do.
Will he levitate using the Force? Or will he display his mastery over the Force by picking up a giant boulder?
To Zara, the Jedi were mythical powerful fighters, yet Yoda was an odd master. She expected a powerful one with great strength who could teach her all the ways of the Force and how to become stronger.
Power. She wanted power, but she was still far too weak.
If she wanted to take down the Empire and free her home and every other planet in the galaxy under Imperial rule, then she would need the strength of a thousand armies.
Her armies would wage in countless battles, millions of lives lost for the sake of a free Republic.
She would convince them that they were fighting for a the Republic, for democracy.
If only she had Yoda's power, she wouldn't hide from the Empire in a desolate swamp, but rather, she would form an army of powerful Force wielders who would overturn the system of the Empire.
