(all right so long to RoosterTeeth)

Jaune and his banished knights we're currently working in their scrap yard

Thanks to all the welding equipment they were building things for local stores that were paying them for protection from metal bars too complicated alarm systems to alert the Police if their stores are being robbed

Jaune was currently on the phone talking to a foreman at the Vale shipyard

Jaune: all right you have a deal

Jaune called Lee and Trent and a few others

Trent: what do you need boss

Jaune: we're going to go get lunch for everyone and I need some help can you help me bring all of it we have a few men we have quite a couple of mouths to feed

The group left the scrap yard and headed towards the local noodle restaurant

Once there they purchase all kinds of noodles based on each of the members preferences

Jaune paid for everything and as he was walking not looking where he was going he bumped into someone

when you saw who it was his eyes immediately turn to anger

It was his former best friend Ruby Rose and not too far behind her was the rest of team RWBY

Ruby: sorry I wasn't seeing where I was- Jaune?

Jaune didn't say anything as he got up helping her get up and walking away to the rest of his men

Yang: well well well if it isn't vomit boy I thought you would be back with your mommy by now

Jaune turned around in his gaze startle them

Jaune: I don't have a mommy anymore as far as she is concerned I'm dead to her!!

Yang: oh!

Ruby: Jaune we heard what happened to you I know you were desperate but there was no need to rob that convenience store

Jaune: get your facts straight crater face I was innocent didn't you see the news I was released because I was proven to be innocent not that you guys care none of you showed up to my trial or my release!!!!

Ruby just lowered her head feeling ashamed

Tears started falling down from her face

Ruby(I'm sorry Jaune if only I defended you back then I still can't believe I ignored my best friend I should have helped him now look at them what has prison done to you)

Weiss: hey don't talk to her like that!!

Blake: can't you see what you've done!

The three girls we're getting ready to start a fight when Jaune's crew got in between them

Trent: you want to get to the boss you're going to have to go through us

Lee: are these the so-called friends who abandon you boss

the girls were honestly surprised that these tough-looking thugs were calling their former friend boss

Yang(now that I've got a good look at him he looks like he put on some weight and muscle)

Weiss(this whole conversation he has not called me snow angel)

Blake(I can tell it by the looks in their eyes that they're honestly upset how did Jaune managed to get this many people to his side)

Jaune: no we are leaving they're not worth it not the bully who pretends she's not a bully not the stuck-up princess was Daddy causes more damage than we will ever do in our lives or the hypocrite who hides who she really is

The girls are taken aback the boy they knew never had such backbone like really strong is that his words were so truthful

Yang: come here and say that to my face

Jaune walked up to her and standing over her look thicker with eyes with such rage but even she was scared

Jaune: what are you going to do I'm a civilian now the only one going to get in trouble is you so go ahead hit me so that when the police arrive it will be self defense for what I'll do next

Yang fell to the floor the person she used to call vomit boy had honestly intimidated her

Jaune: let me make one thing clear to you guys you're not my friends not anymore I could care less what happens to you guys but stay out of my way huntsman protectors of the remnant oh and tell team whatever they call themselves they're not my friends anymore either make that very clear to Pyrrha

Blake was getting irritated and was about to pull out her sword when Lee stinger was near her throat

Blake(I didn't even sense him)

Lee: like the boss said I would watch your next move because since we're civilians we can easily claim self-defense

Weiss was about to pull a rapier when trend grabbed her arm and pulled her up

Trent: you ain't going to hurt the boss on my watch

He puts pressure to his grip and Weiss is honestly in pain

Weiss( how on remnant did the boy who would fall on his own sword master recruit such strong people to his side)

Jaune: Lee Trent let's go there not worth it

Trent let's go of Weiss and Lee backs away

Trent: you're right come on guys you heard the boss let's go the others are waiting for us with their lunches

The group leaves leaving team RWBY stunned

Yang: what happened to you vomit boy

Weiss: are we the reason he's like this

Blake: of course we are we push them away in this time of need and now look at him

Ruby: I'm sorry Jaune I'm sorry

She began to cry uncontrollably

Later at beacon academy

After the message was given to team NPR they had similar reactions

Nora was feeling guilty of what she did was trying saying she betrayed her leader

Ren was ashamed although he faked his way into beacon Jaune was nothing but kind to Nora and him and when he needed them they did not help

Pyrrha was an absolute wreck just like Ruby crying uncontrollably

Pyrrha ( I fell in love with you because of your kind heart and what did I do I crushed it please Jaune forgive me I love you please someone tell me that the man I fell in love with is still in there)

Ruby was crying under her covers as the rest of her team were trying to comfort her although they were no better than selves they felt absolutely guilty

Back was the banished knights Jaune and the others were having their lunches as many of them we're going home while a few of them stayed behind in the scrap yard for protection and others are not living in a scrap yard for various circumstances

Jaune found it difficult to sleep that night

Jaune(maybe I should pay Cardin back or what he did to me I'm actually doing a community service to put all of team CRDL in the hospital after all they're nothing but a bunch of no-good racists)
