Hope was lost after the fall of Beacon, a fall of a truly beautiful school, same with the city of Vale. The students departed, most of them went to a different school, some just stopped trying, and departed from their path to becoming a Huntsman or Huntress.
On a road that led to Haven, 4 teenagers can be seen walking on the path, slowly progressing down the path, that was covered in leaves, and a bit of rain. Six months passed after the fall of Beacon, changing many people's lives, as well as also taking many of them. Ruby was left traumatized, her sister never wanted to talk to her, her team was broken down. It all fell apart.
She would hope that it will be better, that everything will be put back together. Her thoughts were interrupted by Jaune: ''Are we there yet, I can't stand being hungry all day.'' The blonde teen mourned. ''You do have another sandwich left, right?'' The young Ruby Rose asked. ''Did I ever tell you how badly I handled hunger?'' Jaune replied, letting out a slight sigh. She was quite close to facepalming, as she realized he had ate all of his food. ''I think we should be there soon, the city can't be far.'' Ruby said, looking at the trees that surrounded them, covered in leaves with a green color, as well as a slight tint of gold. She had to admit, the 6 month walk sharpened her skills to defend against grimm, but she still had to rely on her weapon, the Crescent Rose.
The whole team had been struck by such a horrific attack on Vale, yet Ruby tried her best to smile and make others smile, but it would never be easy. Ruby still knew not all hope was lost, she knew there's still a spark that's lit, even in one little person. That tiny spark, has a potential of erupting into a shiny blaze, that would help others. Her story at Beacon didn't end like a fairy tale, it never ended in a nice way. It was destroyed. She knows she's still got a lot to fight for, and will never let that goal fail. She'll never stop fighting for the helpless. A smile was visible on Ruby's face.
After 5 minutes of walking, the team finally saw it. Haven, the place where they'll continue learning to become a huntress or huntsman. They made it, and for the first time, the whole team smiled at once, the sight suddenly gave them energy to start running to the entrance of the big place that is Haven. Surprisingly, there were many students outside, seemingly just sitting, talking, or observing their own weapons. The atmosphere reminded Ruby of the great times she used to have at Beacon, and it was possible she'll have even more in the school of Haven.
Outside, they saw scanners, which were used to identify a student from Beacon. As the team approached the scanners, Ruby noticed how everyone was looking at her with a shocked face, and she was unsure if it was a happy, or terrified face. The scanners scanned their Scrolls, and then opened the gate to Haven. ''Haven, here we come!'' Yelled out Nora, being the crazy and hilarious person she is.
''The first then we should do is g-Eat'' Ruby was cut off by Jaune, as he quickly saw a lot of shops surrounding them, one of them being a takoyaki store.
''But what about the school?'' Ruby asked as Jaune made his way to a food store.
''The school can wait! My stomach can't!'' Jaune exclaimed.
Ruby let out an annoyed sigh. ''He's such a child!'' She said as she stomped the ground in a fit of anger. ''Look who's talking'' Ren smirked.
-Later-
The team got out of the food store, Ruby slowly rubbing her stomach.
''See? I told you it would be great!'' Jaune smiled, feeling proud of his amazing feast that he engaged in.
''Shut up.'' Ruby striked a glare at Jaune.
Jaune got a bit nervous, so he shut up like he never shut up before.
Ruby, Jaune, Ren and Nora made their way to the entrance to the school, as they saw what appears to be... Glynda?!
Ruby just stood there in surprise, as the three others just froze, silently staring, as the teacher approached them. ''We are slowly restoring Vale, it might take a year or two, until then, I am here to take care of you.'' She said, as she looked at each and everyone of the four. ''Is Ozpin going to be here with us?'' Ruby asked in a bit of excitement. Glynda just slowly shook her head: ''Ozpin is still missing, we're trying our best to find him.''. Ruby's excitement was cut as the sentence ended. ''At least we still get to learn from a teacher we know.'' Ren said, and with that, looked over to the students they were yet supposed to meet. ''Oh I won't be teaching you.'' Glynda responded, getting shocked looks from the four teens that stood before her. ''You'll be assigned a new teacher, I'm just here to look after you.'' Glynda added, noticing Ruby's puppy dog eyes. Ruby wasn't too happy with that, but at least they could continue studying, and that's what matters.
''I'll have already told your new teacher that you four will be coming to this school.'' Glynda said, walking away from the four students. ''Well, while we're here, let's look around a bit.'' Nora smiled, and with that, separated from the team, supposedly looking around the school. ''I just hope there are no bullies around.'' Jaune looked around, trying to see if any of the students were acting... suspicious, to say the least.
''Silly Jaune, what's a school without a bully?'' Ruby giggled, getting annoyed looks from Jaune, and quite surprised looks from the students of haven, mainly because most of them recognize her from the battle at Beacon.
''A better place for me.'' Jaune replied.
As the team walked around, they couldn't help but notice just how many different kinds of weapons the students were equipped with. Ruby was just looking at every weapon she could lay her eyes on, just wondering what potential each weapon has. Ren noticed how every girl around him seemed to lay their eyes on him, and he instinctively tried to strike a glare that would get any girl wet, except for the girls he already knew. Ruby was wandering around the school, happy that she's found a place where she can continue living like another normal student. As she thought of what kind of folks she could meet at Haven, the schoolbell started ringing. It was time for class.
