Gary: I'm going to save the fleet, i'm going to save my family and quinn, and i'm going to harvest the crap out of destiny. Mooncake let's do this.

Mooncake: (makes cute karate noises)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

as gary snuck his way onto a transport ship, he left the fleet to go to that dying star near remnant's region of space. and as he opened the hanger, he got on a jetpack as he was about to fly his way near the star.

Gary: play the good stuff HUE.

HUE: You're a go for thrusters.

and as Gary was about to fly to the star, music started playing

as Gary was flying, he noticed something in the distance

Gary: WHAT IS THAT!!!!???

he then dodged the unknown debris and when he was getting close to the dying sun, he then sees more debris of unknown origin

HUE: the star is surrounded by a graveyard of destroyed vessels

Gary deadpanned

Gary: thank you for the heads up, HUE.

HUE: what you are seeing Gary is the remains of the scarlet lance and it's fleet.

Gary: jaune told me about this, they say it went MIA for about 16 years ago.

HUE: yes, gary. but they were wrong, thousands of souls were lost.

Gary: and the fact that it's messy, we got that part right HUE? it's a mess all over here

as Gary was talking about how messy the now recovered scarlet lance is, mooncake noticed a blinking light in a crack of the ship they were flying through and went towards it

Mooncake: Chookity.

as Gary made it to a debris pad, he landed on it

HUE: hurry Gary, the star is about to implode

Hue said as gary placed the light matter pump and activated it

Gary: were cooking HUE.

he said as a beam of light came out of the pump and went straight to the Arc's light fleet

HUE: power is being recieved.

(Jaune POV, location: Armory)

as jaune and the others exited the armory, they got new weapons which jaune let them borrow for this situation. Ruby got an infinity guard sniper rifle, Nora got a railgun, Ren got a pair of pistols (even though he is a SMG type, but that was all they had), and Blake also got a pair is pistols, velvet didn't get a gun because her semblance allows her to copy other people's weapons out of thin air, and Jaune just had a pistol and his crocea mors.

Jaune: so how do you like the weapons i let you borrow?

Ruby: this sniper looks AWESOME!!!

Nora: I HAVE A RAILGUN!!!!!, but i was hoping for something that's, you know, my style.

Ren: the pistols are ok, but i do wish you infinity guards had laser Smg's

Blake: I'm a little excited that i'm actually holding an alien weapon.

Velvet: i don't need one, but thank you.

Jaune: right, because of your semblance. ok now let's....

he then hears a scream that's all too familiar, after hearing that, he and the other head to where the scream came from and when they made it there, it caused jaune to boil up with anger when seeing two special ''jerk wads''. and those wads are Yang Xiao long, the one whose been beating him up, and Weiss Schnee, the one who scolded him when she found out of his papers. Yang and Weiss were trying to fight off the hacked Sames with their weapons, but they weren't working because Dust doesn't work in space. as the two were outnumbered, jaune fired a laser at one same, and so did the others when Yang and Weiss got down to avoid the gunfire. as they finished firing, Yang and Weiss got up and Yang ran up to ruby and hugged her while Weiss walked up to jaune nervously. same with Yang looking at jaune nervously for some reason, even though she should be mad at him.

Weiss: Hey, jaune... 

Jaune: don't talk to me prick, I'm trying to save my fleet. and didn't you tell to not talk to you again?

weiss was about talk back at him, but then realized he was right when he said that she told him to not talk to her, then says 

Weiss: forget what i said back then, i'm allowing you to talk to me.

Jaune: GOOD!!!!!

then looks at yang

Jaune: and you, you got some nerve showing your face aroun.... wait a minute, how did you even get on board?

when he said that, Jaune's friends started to glare at Yang and Weiss when Jaune asked that question, then yang started to laugh embarrassingly

Yang: well, when we were walking around in vale, we saw one of your dropships landing in front your old home and your robots dragged your dad and placed him in front of the door. 

Weiss: and when they weren't looking, we kind of took the dropship.

Jaune: (look down)

Yang: Jaune, i realized that...

before she could finish, a bunch of sames spotted them and as they fired at them, the huntsmen and huntresses, except jaune, took cover to avoid the fire.

Ruby: Jaune, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!????

Nora: you're going to get yourself killed.

she said with a little bit of tears in her eyes

Blake & Velvet: wait look.

Jaune activates his sword hand and pulls out his crocea mors and starts to charge at the sames

(like this, but start at 0:33)

Yang, Blake, Weiss, Ruby, Nora, Ren, & Velvet:

Jaune: what?
