The following day, Terry went to the Meditation Room to meditate. After making his decision to stay, he needed to put his mind to ease. He awoke when Master Yoda came into the room.

Yoda: If I speak to you, would you mind?

Terry: Not at all, Master.

Yoda takes a place on the meditation chair next to Terry's.

Yoda: A wound from years ago has been opened it seems, young Terry. Something personal.

Terry: Yes, Master. A wound I hoped would never reopen.

Yoda: Inquire into it, may I?

Terry: Of course.

Terry relaxed his mind and allowed Yoda to look into his mind and see Terry's past. He see's a young Terry with his parents at their home on Mandalore, the suit Terry's father created, the attack by Black Sun, the betrayal of Terry's uncle, Derek Black, Terry watching his parents die right in front of him, and Terry using the Force to push his uncle over the balcony. It was a memory that Terry had suppressed ever since he was brought to the Temple only for it to be reawakened when the Temple Bombing happened and Mandalorian nano-driods were used, the same type stolen from Mandalore the day Black Sun invaded. Upon seeing his memories, Yoda came to understand Terry's pain.

Yoda: What a terrible thing. More than one betrayal you suffered both by those you trusted and each time, cost you badly it did.

Terry: A pain I hoped would never happen again.

Yoda: Sadly, something we cannot control. Tell me, young one. Master Skywalker has told me that something happened to you while you were on the run.

Terry: That's right. It's something that I feel like amplified my senses and understanding in the Force, something a Jedi has never experienced. In the warehouse where Barriss ambushed me and left me for dead, a spider bit my exposed hand and when I woke up, I felt different. For one thing, this happened.

Terry takes out his lightsaber and ignites it, showing it's white color to Master Yoda.

Yoda: White? Rarely seen, it is. According to our research, white is the purest color of the Kyber Crystal that powers the blade. Remember how you did it, do you?

Terry: After the bite, I passed out and during that time, I could hear something calling out to me and when I reached out to it, a blinding flash woke me up. It turned out that it was the Crystal calling out to me and when I reached out to it, I could feel that it was purified.

Yoda: Interesting. But I sense that this power does not simply be given.

Terry: Correct. When I passed out, I felt like I was in a vision and I saw the spider that bit me, only it was huge. It told me that it's bite kills those with darkness in their hearts. Only those who are pure and have no dark feelings may possess this power.

Yoda: Which shows that you are pure, young Terry. Despite all the pain you endured, pure your soul is. Kept the Dark Side out, you have.

Terry: Thank you, Master.

Yoda: One last thing. Do you know what happened to your uncle?

Terry: No. The last time I saw him was escaping in a Black Sun fighter. Since then, I never heard about him ever again. The best guess is that perhaps he went into hiding or he joined Black Sun. Either way, I do not know. If I did hear about him, I woul-

Terry was interrupted by his senses.

Yoda: What is it?

Terry, in a move so fast, grabbed Yoda and jumped out of the room just as a missile impacted the wall, destroying the room. The explosion was enough to shatter the door and cover Terry and Yoda in rubble. Terry pushed the rubble off and helped Yoda up.

Terry: You alright, Master?

Yoda: Fine, I am. What was that?

Terry: Trouble.

On cue, more explosions rang throughout the Temple. Terry ran one way to his room to get his uniform while Yoda went to assist the Jedi defenses.
